Partly cloudy with a 30-percent chance of rain. Winds blowing out to left field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game-time temperature: Around 80.
I'm predicting Leake goes 7 strong. (I wish)
This game is HUGE, a win and I think we can steal this series. also I would rather see Bruce 4 and Rolen 5..but it is what it is...
Hanson is a tough opponent and Leake is a gas can. Do not like our chances.
This post is BABIP-lucky.
For the love of god bat Bruce after Votto
I don't give a $%#@ about back to back lefties, Votto is batting .400 VS L and .307 VS R while Bruce is batting .342 VS L & .275 VS R. Let them bring in a left hander late in the game to face them, PLEASE
Who goes to make room for Leake?
...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.
probably homer to dl. with maloney out and lecure hurt they won't send down DT
Who is the 5th starter?
Please no EV
isn't it leake, arroyo, cueto, wood the next 4? I'm guessing they hope LeCure can go in 5 days.

Automating the world one-liner at a time…
If you are reading this, you probably already use PowerShell but you might know someone that has resisted installing it and trying it out. Thomas Lee posted a blog HERE with a pointer to a Virtual PowerShell lab on TechNet. This allows you to Terminal Serve into a hosted virtual machine and kick the tires. In other words you get to run PowerShell without installing it.
Once they are done – they can install it. :-)
I didn't know anything about this but we should try to get them to do this with V2 CTP3 – that would be cool.
Thanks for the pointer Thomas!
Jeffrey Snover [MSFT] Windows Management Partner Architect Visit the Windows PowerShell Team blog at: http://blogs.msdn.com/PowerShell Visit the Windows PowerShell ScriptCenter at: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/hubs/msh.mspx
I assumed the PowerShell team had done this.
You guys should definitely talk to TechNet folks and see if you can get a HOL up on TechNet for CTP3.
And note that whilst you are running the lab, you have a fully functioning server that you can play with. You don't have to stick to the HOL script - you have the full time to play. Sadly, there's no network there, or a DC/SQL/Exchange server to play with, but that's worth asking for.
I agree but would like it to also include a section on internationization.

"I order all my invitations from tiny prints and have always been satisfied and this time was no different! Fast delivery and a beautiful product as always. I especially like the back detail on this invitation, it makes it extra special :)"
"We absolutely loved our invitations for our daughters baptism! The invitations look exceptional the print and delivery were prompt, we were kept updated with the status throughout, would highly recommend!"
"I loved this invitation in every aspect, except for the area for the venue. It didn't have much room to write where the ceremony and reception would take place. After some rearranging, I was able to fit it all in, and it still looked very good!"
"Quality of invite is great. Printing is flawless. Only issue is that one of my twin babies has a shorter name than the other so it looked a little funny."
"A beautifully rich looking card at such an affordable price. A few of them had some printing discolorations but thankfully I ordered extra. The shimmery paper is a must as an added effect. Also, the optional free professional review is a wonderful feature.... They helped make some changes I needed in the font size that the template wouldn't allow me to do on my own. Overall, a beautiful card. Can't wait to send them out to my guests."

Sports are an important part of the lives of most children in the United States. Just over 21 million youth between the ages of 6 to 17 play team sports on a regular basis, with another 5 million engaging on an occasional basis, according to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association annual survey of households. Kids are most active before the teenage years, though participation is declining. Children ages 6 to 12 who played sports regularly fell from 44.5 percent of that population in 2008 to 40 percent in 2013.
The decline is rooted in many factors. An espnW/Aspen Institute Project Play Survey of Parents on youth sports issues in September 2014 showed that most parents have concerns about risk of injury (87.9%), the quality or behavior of coaches (81.5%), cost (70.3%), the time commitment required (67.9%), and the emphasis on winning over having fun (66.1%). Full results from the nationally representative survey are available here.
Below are facts on the benefits of sport participation and physical activity, today's barriers to sport participation, and the consequences of inactivity:
Regular physical activity benefits youth in many ways, including helping build and maintain healthy bones, muscles, and joints; helping control weight and reduce fat; and preventing or delaying the development of high blood pressure (GAO, 2012).
Childhood sports participation is a significant predictor of young adults' participation in sports and physical fitness activities. Adolescents who play sports are eight times as likely to be active at age 24 as adolescents who do not play sports (Sports Participation as Predictors of Participation in Sports and Physical Fitness Activities in Young Adulthood, Perkins, 2004).
Intellectual/Educational Benefits
Physical activity is associated with improved academic achievement, including grades and standardized test scores. Further, such activity can affect cognitive skills, attitudes and academic behavior, including enhanced concentration, attention, and improved classroom behavior (GAO, 2012).
High school athletes are more likely than non-athletes to attend college and get degrees; team captains, MVPs achieve in school at even higher rates (US Dept. of Education, 2005).
Social/Personal/Career Benefits
A number of studies provide support for the premise that physical activity, and sports in particular, can positively affect aspects of personal development among young people, such as self-esteem, goal-setting, and leadership. However, evidence indicates that the quality of coaching is a key factor in maximizing positive effects (GAO, 2012).
Compared to non-athlete peers, female high school athletes are less likely to be sexually active, to use drugs, and to suffer from depression (Women's Sports Foundation, 2004). The benefits extend to the workplace. A survey of 400 female corporate executives found 94 percent played a sport and that 61 percent say that has contributed to their career success. (EY Women Athletes Business Network/espnW, 2014)
More benefits can be found at "Human Capital Model" on p. 11 of "Designed to Move" (2012)
Today, the evolving and complex youth sport system in the U.S. necessitates significant resources to develop an athlete and play competitive sports (Sport Participation Rates Among Underserved American Youth, University of Florida's Sport Policy & Research Collaborative, 2014). The barriers to participation emerge early, with the rise of grade school travel teams and elite sport training options that are not accessible to many lower-income kids. While only 20 percent of U.S. households report an annual income of at least $100,000, 33 percent of households participating in sports enjoy that income level. Travel-team parents spend an average of $2,266 annually on their child's sports participation, and at the elite levels some families spend more than $20,000 per year.
There's a relative lack of access for minority children. Sport participation rates for white children exceed that of African-Americans, Hispanics, and Asian kids. Furthermore, data on other historically marginalized groups such as Native-American children are not even reported in governmentally funded studies that track physical activity in youth. (University of Florida's SPARC, 2014). In the Native American community of San Felipe Pueblo, N.M, the only organized sport option is an after-school soccer program serving 250 of the 1,500 kids who live there and which is organized by a non-profit devoted to addressing childhood obesity in tribal areas (Notah Begay III Foundation). See the chart at right created by ESPN and culled from research.
Access is also shaped by geography and gender. In "low socio-economic schools," those that serve the highest percentage of kids on free or reduced-price lunches, only 24.6 percent of eighth graders play sports. At "middle socio-economic schools," it's 30.9 percent. For "high socio-economic schools," it's 36.1 percent. Despite major gains in among girls over the past four decades delivered by Title IX legislation and enforcement, the participation rates for girls remains 2 to 5 percent lower than for boys. (Bridging the Gap, RWJF, 2012). There are 10.6 million girls between the ages of 6 and 17 who play a sport at least once a year, compared to 16.5 million boys (SFIA, 2012)
In Washington, D.C., the percentage of athletic opportunities provided to public high school students has been as low as 15 percent for boys and 6 percent for girls (Progress Without Equity, Women's Sports Foundation, 2011). Disparities exist by state, too. Northeast and Midwest states generally offer more participation opportunities than those in the South and West. Georgia has the lowest rate for girls (22 percent), Florida the lowest for boys (30 percent) (Decade of Decline, Women's Sports Foundation, 2012). Children with physical and intellectual disabilities often experience very limited opportunities in their communities. Despite considerable growth in sport options in recent years driven in part by anti-discrimination laws, one estimate suggests that physical activity levels for children with disabilities remain as much as 4.5 times lower than those without disabilities. (University of Florida SPARC, 2014)
Casual play
Fading is the era of sandlot or pickup ball, a form of play that organically promoted innovation and fitness among generations of Americans. A leading annual survey of participation trends notes that "casual play continues to decline dramatically."(SGMA, 2010) Free play has been shown to produce higher levels of physical activity than organized sports. One study found that 43 percent of youth sports practice was spent being inactive. (Physical Activity During Youth Sport Practices, 2011)There's a lack of mainstream options for the moderately interested athlete. As soon as travel teams are formed, in-town rec leagues often begin to fade. As kids move into adolescence, there's also less support for intramurals than in the past. About 23 percent of middle schools and 40 percent of high schools do not offer intramural sports (Bridging the Gap, RWJF, 2012)
Public facilities
Community Development Block Grants provide up to $100 million annually in support. States and cities also received a one-time boost with the 2009 economic stimulus package, which provided funds for parks, gyms and playgrounds. Still, local municipalities are often unable to provide sufficient places to play, especially for children in predominantly African American and Hispanic neighborhoods. Federal matching funds for urban parks have been slashed over the past decade, as has support from the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which helped get more than 40,000 outdoor recreation projects built, most of them between the 1960s and 1980. In 2013, only 13 percent of the $305 million flowing into the fund was allocated to the program that provides matching grants for cities and states (National Recreation and Parks Association). In other areas, such as Colorado Springs, Colo., cuts to local budgets have made difficult the upkeep of existing public parks.
High school athletes account for an estimated two million concussions and other injuries, 500,000 doctor visits and 30,000 hospitalizations each year. More than 3.5 million children under age 14 receive medical treatment for sports injuries annually. According to the CDC, more than half of all sports injuries are preventable. Overuse injuries are responsible for nearly half of all sports injuries to middle and high school students (STOP Sports Injuries).
Untrained coaches
One study found that when coaches received training in skills and communicating effectively with kids, only five percent of children chose not to play the sport again. With untrained coaches, the attrition rate was 26 percent (Smoll and Smith, 1992). Yet, most youth coaches do not receive any training. Only 1 in 5 coaches of youth teams of children under age 14 say they have been trained in effective motivational technique, and just 1 in 3 in skills and tactics in the primary sport they coach, according to data produced for Project Play by SFIA through a survey of 43,000 households in 2013.
Direct and Indirect Consequences
Falling sport participation rates
Most of our largest sports are seeing major drop-offs in participation, as organized opportunities consolidate around the most talented, committed or well-resourced players. Among children ages 6-12, participation rates have declined in basketball (down 3.9 percent since 2008), baseball (14.4 percent), soccer (10.7 percent), softball (31.3 percent), and football (29 percent). Some newer, smaller sports have seen increases; lacrosse, most notably. Hockey, due in part to major policy interventions, has reversed declines. But on balance, millions of kids and teens are fleeing sports.
Parental unease
The espnW/Aspen Institute Project Play Survey of Parents (see above) shows concerns on a range of issues, coaching and injury risks above all. About a quarter of parents have considered keeping their child out of a sport due to concussion risks, with tackle football registering the greatest level of concern. In an earlier survey, parents of boys under age 15 more often have a favorable opinion of the NFL (71 percent), MLB (68 percent) and NBA (58 percent) than they do of their community youth football (49 percent), baseball (57 percent) and basketball (49 percent) leagues (ESPN, 2012). One bright spot is that 9 out of 10 parents of children on elite, travel teams are happy with their kid's coach (ESPN Magazine, University of Florida SPARC, 2013).
Low physical activity rates
Starting at age 9 -- when children often develop a self-concept of whether or not they are an athlete -- physical activity rates begin to drop sharply. By age 15, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity declines 75 percent, a higher rate than in Europe (Designed to Move, 2012). At that point, they average only 49 minutes per weekday and 35 minutes per weekend (Journal of the American Medical Association, 2008). Among kids ages 6-17, one in five youth are considered inactive, meaning they report no physical activity (Physical Activity Council, 2015). Further, only one in three children is physically active every day (Fitness.gov). Among high school students, that figure is 28.7 percent. The prevalence of having been active on a daily basis was higher among male (38.3 percent) than female (18.5 percent) students; higher among white male (40.4 percent), black male (35.2), and Hispanic male (35.6) than white female (19.7), black female (16.9), and Hispanic female (16.9) students (CDC, 2012). The downstream results of developing sedentary lifestyles: In 2014, the number of inactives ages 6+ grew to 28.3 percent (82.7 million) of the U.S. population, the highest rate in the last six years (Physical Activity Council, 2015).
Obesity crisis
Childhood obesity rates have nearly tripled. The percentage of children ages 6-11 who are obese increased from 7 percent in 1980 to 18 percent in 2010; among children ages 12 to 19, that figure grew from 5 percent to 18 percent (Centers for Disease Control). One study found that among 17 developed nations, the U.S. had the highest rates of childhood obesity among those ages 5-19 (National Academy of Sciences, 2013). There are significant racial and ethnic disparities in obesity prevalence, with Hispanics and African Americans experiencing higher rates than whites (CDC, 2010).
Military recruitment
More than a quarter of all Americans between the ages of 17 to 24 are too fat to serve in the military. Many are turned away by recruiters and others never try to join. Of those who attempt to join, roughly 15,000 fail their entrance physicals every year because they are overweight. Obesity rates among children and young adults have increased so dramatically that they threaten the future strength of our military. (Too Fat to Fight, 2010)
Global competitiveness
Direct and indirect medical costs related to obesity are estimated at $147 billion a year, twice the size of the budget for the U.S. Department of Education. Direct costs are expected to more than double by 2030. Adults who are obese will face decreased earning potential, and employers will pay in the form increased health care costs. (Designed to Move, 2012). In total, lifetime societal costs are $92,235 greater for a person with obesity, and if all 12.7 million U.S. youth with obesity became obese adults, the societal costs over their lifetimes may exceed $1.1 trillion. (Brookings Institute, 2015)
Shorter lives
Today's children are likely to be the first generation to live shorter, less healthy lives than their parents due to obesity and other related diseases. (Designed to Move)
Opportunities for Progress
Stakeholders want guidance, solutions. A full 91 percent of Americans say sports are important to child development, while 94 percent say more needs to be done to protect their health and safety (Kelton Research, ACSM, 2011). Concerns about concussions, other injuries and burnout are prompting organizations to revise policies and practices. Health groups are also starting to better mobilize around using sport as a tool to encourage exercise.
Getting kids active is now recognized as key obesity prevention strategy. In a 2014 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, researchers analyzed obesity prevention strategies and their ability to reduce obesity by the year 2032. They found that afterschool physical activity programs would reduce obesity the most, 1.8 percent, among children ages 6 to 12. That's twice the impact as a ban on child-directed fast-food advertising.

Hey guys,
I have Apache installed on my machine (OSX) and until the Apple's update regarding the certificates I was able to use PlexConnect together with Apache.
Now, I've updated the PlexConnect and it works perfectly if I shutdown Apache. However, I've made a few changes in order to have it working with Apache and no luck, I always get the "Trailers not available" message.

The dude abides.
I'm a laid back, down to earth, honest, and happy person. I am pretty outgoing but it's safe to say I enjoy those lazy nights at home too. What I'm looking for is a natural comfort with a life long best friend to build a love filled relationship with. Simple as that. I figured using this site as an outlet can only increase those chances and if nothing else I had some interesting stories to tell in the end. A quick rundown on where I'm from... Don't expect to grasp it all at once. I was born and raised for 12 years in Okinawa, Japan with a year or two of California thrown in there. Then I moved to Germany at the start of High School. Graduated HS then moved to Washington State for a few years of college. Found my way to South Korea for 6 months, back to Washington State, then down to Las Vegas. Eventually made it Minnesota two years ago and here I stay. Got all that? My musical tastes range from Reggae, Jazz, Folk, Bluegrass, Motown, Hip Hop, 90's hits, and so on... I'm a musical junkie so odds are I'll like it. There's obviously a lot more to me than a few sentences so drop me a message if your interested.

SANAA/ADEN: Former President Ali Abdullah Saleh will leave Yemen temporarily after Gulf states leaned on him to get out of the way of his successor to ease tensions complicating efforts to stabilize the country, a diplomatic source said Sunday.
The diplomat said he expected Saleh to travel next week, probably to the United Arab Emirates, to allow recently elected President Abed Rabbou Mansour Hadi to rule unhindered by his predecessor. Russia has said it is willing to take in Saleh.
The former long-ruling autocrat also agreed to relinquish his position as head of the General People's Congress party. It is sharing power with opposition groups over a two-year transitional period in line with a Gulf-brokered plan to end a year of civil unrest that paralyzed the impoverished state.
Hadi has inherited a long list of challenges; not least an active branch of Al-Qaeda-linked militants who have stepped up their attacks on security forces since Hadi took office earlier this year.
Sunday, an Al-Qaeda-affiliated group freed 73 Yemeni soldiers it captured during a major assault in south Yemen last month.
Residents of the southern town of Jaar, controlled by militants who call themselves Ansar al-Shariah (Partisans of Islamic Law), saw the soldiers being let out of the school building where they were being held.
"We spent difficult days as prisoners of Al-Qaeda despite their good and generous treatment of us," said a freed soldier, who was heading to his home in the north of the country.
"We did not expect to return to normal life again. I am now on my way back to my family. I will try to forget what happened but I will not return to fight those who have treated me well."
In a statement, the militants said Nasser al-Wuhayshi, the leader of Al-Qaeda's Yemen-based wing, had authorized their release after negotiations with tribal elders and religious scholars who visited Jaar, which the militants have renamed "the Emirate of Waqar."
Wuhayshi's involvement is further evidence of Ansar al-Shariah's links to Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, which CIA Director David Petraeus described last year as "the most dangerous regional node in the global jihad."
A year of political upheaval in Yemen that eventually unseated Saleh has emboldened militants in the country, especially in the south, where they have seized swathes of territory and carried out scores of attacks on security forces.
The soldiers were taken hostage by Ansar al-Shariah in one such attack on the city of Zinjibar during which more than 100 other conscripts were killed.
Anxious over the increasing number and audacity of attacks, the U.S. has used drones to target militants.
A local official said a U.S. drone fired on a vehicle carrying suspected Al-Qaeda operatives in the northern province of Al-Jawf Sunday. The exact number of passengers and their fate was unknown.
Back in Jaar, the militants said they had released the soldiers out of respect for the mediators, who included tribal leader Sheikh Tareq al-Fadli.
"The order to free and pardon the captive soldiers, who declared their repentance for what they were doing to assist the enemies of Islamic law, was to bestow honor on the delegation and show good intentions, despite the indifference of the Sanaa government toward them [the soldiers] all this time," said Ansar al-Shariah in an emailed statement.
The group repeated a demand that Islamist fighters be released from jail. It had previously threatened to harm the soldiers unless that condition was met.
"The militants invited local journalists, tribal mediators, human rights activists and the soldiers' relatives to their stronghold, Jaar, to attend the ceremony," said Wajdi al-Shaib, a Yemeni journalist present at the handover. "The soldiers are now with their families on the way to Aden."
Militants have sought to gain popularity by pledging to restore security, the rule of law and services which have deteriorated as a result of the ongoing political crisis.
In the statement, the militants invited Yemenis to visit their stronghold in the southern province of Abyan and told government troops they were fighting the wrong battle. "We have announced to you over and over again that our fight is first and foremost with America and the crusaders."
