Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2016 Acura MDX
By KBB.com Editors
By combining manageable dimensions with 7-passenger capacity, a comfortable highway ride with responsive in-town handling and car-like construction with respectable off-pavement capability, the MDX has been one of our favorite SUVs since its introduction for the 2001 model year. In fact, as it trails only the Lexus RX 350 in category sales, the MDX has proven to be a favorite of many. Last year, Acura gave its flagship SUV a few major upgrades which carry over onto the 2011 model. Fortunately, the characteristics that made the original MDX appealing are still present on the current version.
The perfectly practical MDX is also one of the most powerful, most tech-savvy V6 SUVs on the road, giving it assured access to the top tier of any premium midsize SUV shopping list.
If you prefer the softer, tamer side of a premium lifestyle, you might be more comfortable in the Lexus RX 350 or Buick Enclave.
There are no major changes for 2011.
Driving Impressions The fact that Acura introduced the MDX on a racetrack with other high-performance SUVS says quite a bit. The fact that it was indeed the MDX that put the biggest...smiles on our faces says even more. When pushed hard, the MDX's 300 horsepower, sophisticated all-wheel-drive system and optional active damping system combine to deliver an SUV that's fun to drive even at or near its limits. We were also impressed by the MDX's off-road ability, which we were able to sample on a short but extreme course. Fortunately, because very few will ever negotiate a racetrack or even a muddy trail, the handily athletic MDX is even more pleasing around town and on the highway than any MDX before it.
Technology Package
With a navigation system that provides real-time traffic and weather info and an audio system that delivers amazing 6-channel Surround Sound via DVD-Audio disc, we'd be hard-pressed not to check this option box.
Squeeze the throttle while in the middle of a corner and the MDX's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system transfers more torque to the rear outside wheel, delivering truer steering response and perceptibly higher cornering limits.
In its pursuit of greater performance, the 2011 Acura MDX has given up nothing in practicality. For example, the MDX offers 15 cubic feet of cargo capacity behind the third row, which is just two cubic feet less than the full-size Chevrolet Tahoe. For bigger loads, both rear rows fold flat. The reclining second-row seats offer enough legroom for those six feet tall and more, while the third row is best suited for smaller folks riding on shorter trips. The MDX even offers a minivan-like 10 cupholders. Up front, the MDX is an attractive mix of sport, luxury and technology, with highlights that include perforated leather or premium Milano leather seats, wood-like or metallic trim and a collection of intuitive controls and LED lighting.
Complementing its wide, low, aggressive stance, the boldly styled MDX features a shield-like take on Acura's 5-sided grille, thick wheel arches filled with 18-inch wheels and prominent oval tailpipes. High-intensity discharge (HID) headlights, mirror-integrated turn signals and LED taillamps further the cutting-edge appearance, as does a radio antenna that's been cleverly integrated into the rear spoiler. The MDX is longer, wider and taller, by varying degrees, than the Lexus RX 350 and Volvo XC90.
Some of the bigger features included at base price include the powerful V6 engine and sophisticated all-wheel-drive system, 18-inch alloy wheels, leather seats, power and heated front seats, power moonroof, HID headlamps, Bluetooth hands-free phone interface, a 253-watt 8-speaker audio system with 6-disc CD/MP3/WMA changer, 3-zone automatic climate control, an auto dimming mirror, steering wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls, six airbags and electronic traction and stability controls.
All of the 2011 Acura MDX's optional features are bundled into three packages. The Technology Package highlights include a sophisticated navigation system with an 8-inch LCD screen, AcuraLink real-time traffic and weather reports, Zagat restaurant reviews, plus a DVD-Audio Surround Sound system and power rear liftgate. The Advance Package features an active suspension, ventilated sport seats covered in rich perforated Milano leather, a sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, Collision Mitigating Braking System, Adaptive Cruise Control, blind spot information system, auto leveling HID front headlamps and 19-inch alloy wheels. The Entertainment Package includes a DVD rear entertainment system.
The MDX features Acura's most powerful engine ever, connected to a 6-speed automatic transmission and the Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system that distributes torque not only between the front and rear wheels, but also between the left and right rear wheels. In addition to cornering advantages, the system also makes for a less-intrusive stability control system. The available Active Damper System, in which the shock absorbers can change from soft to firm in milliseconds, helps mitigate the traditional trade-offs between a comfortable ride and spirited handling. The MDX features unibody construction and a fully independent suspension, and can tow up to 5,000 pounds with the added benefit of a Trailer Stability Assist feature.

"I just bought a used 2009 with very low miles and I love it too. My Acura has served me well with no problems. The vehicle has had regular maintenance. I put new brakes on it at 77,000 miles and they are still in good shape and new tires. Car drives great and stops on a dime."

"I needed a car that would hold the whole family including any extras like Nana or friends. Living in Connecticut and having a steep driveway I wanted AWD or FWD. My mini van was shot and I was tired of "Mini Van Land". After test driving everything on the market, new and used, I fell in love with the Acura MDX. I was luck enough to find just the one as it came off a lease and grabbed it. It has been a great car. It goes through snow as well as our 4WD truck and is comfortable doing it. The car is tough too. When a deer jumped out in front of me on a foggy country road, the damage was minimal and I was able to drive it for the 3 weeks it took to get it in the shop. I know the truck would have been more damaged and not usable after the same hit. I love this car. I am thinking of down sizing soon since I don't need so much room and would like the better fuel economy of a smaller vehicle, but I just keep remembering the deer and know I will not be as safe in a smaller vehicle. It has been great for all my family needs."

"fun to drive , smooth ride, seats 7, lots of cargo room, no mechanical problems ever, looks new The only problem I've had is with the Cd player. I have had it repaired 3 times and I wasn't charges but the warranty has expired and I haven't had it repaired because I would have to pay and it will break again. It has a flawed design. I LOVE MY CAR! I am only checking the value because I want to buy a Porsche Macan S 2015 SUV."

Pros: "handles great in any conditions"
Cons: "rough ride"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"I love this vehicle and the way it handles on the road. It has been very reliable with no problems. It is comfortable for seating if you don't have to use the third seat which is a little small. When the third seat is engaged the cargo space is very small. I would have to rate the comfort of the ride as rough as you can feel every little bump. Also, the steering seems a little tight for power steering. The gas mileage ranges from 18 to 23 mpg on the highway and around 17 in town. All in all it is a very reliable, good looking vehicle."

Pros: "Solid! - Quality! - Classy!"
Cons: "Captain chairs not available for 2nd row seating."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"Purchased this utility vehicle for 4 reasons. My mother was 87 in 2010 when I bought this MDX. We travel to the Atlantic/Gulf Coast beaches at least once a year by car; she will not fly any more. I love sports cars but she had difficulty getting in & out of them; she basically had to fall in and climb out! Also, I wanted comfort, quality and more luggage space... 4 years later we continue to enjoy driving to our vacation destinations in this classy, did I mention quality and very solid vehicle. And just want to say that I have been driving an Acura since 1998 without any problems! It was hard giving up my low slung Acura TL, which was my 2nd Acura sports car. I was concerned about missing that sporty look & feel; but honestly, this MDX is now one of my all time favorites. Who would have thought it was this much fun to drive?! Before purchasing this MDX, I looked at the Audi, BMW, Volvo and Infinity utility vehicles and found the Acura checked all the boxes and was the best fit for me at this time in my life and my Mom's! My only suggestion would be that captains chairs for the 2nd row be offered in the future."

[QUOTE=Kaeferin;445682]The 5-6 times a week workout might actually be too much - depends what you're doing :)
Dairy shouldn't be a problem, as others have stated. I too eat dairy, I eat dark chocolate almost every day, also eat nuts and maybe 1 piece of fruit a day - all the things that are the immediate "drop those" response from lots of people on here. I've been doing this for about 6 weeks and have dropped a clothing size (no idea what I weigh).
So I guess it's a case of horses for courses. I decided to just cut grains for four weeks and not start to tinker until after then. The only thing I ended up tinkering with was adding *more* fruit (never was a fruit eater) to help clear up some fog and dizziness.[/QUOTE]
I am starting this week to limit the workouts. I want to have a little more energy for all the work I have to get going on this house. Thanks for the suggestions!

I've created a Java WebApp, more like i'm using HTTPServlets to run some java code depending on what has been entered by the user. I can get the information from the user, pass it to my java program and pass it back to the interface no problem. What has become difficult (and rather annoying) is trying to use the information input by the user and calling an external script (which is needed to process and answer the users request). I've tested that part of my code in an regular stand alone java application and it works fine, but whenever I try to run it through my web app it either hangs forever (I don't know if its really running the script) or doesn't even run the script and just continues to the result page.
Here's my Code:
public void runScript() throws InterruptedException{
chkPy = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("Log.txt"));
chkPy.write("Running Python Script");
runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
p = runtime.exec("cmd /c run.bat > python_results.log");
BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));
String line = "";
while ((line = stdInput.readLine()) != null) {
while ((line = stdError.readLine()) != null) {
int exitVal = p.waitFor();
chkPy.write("Exit Value" +exitVal);
}catch(IOException ex){
Netbeans comes with an implementation of GlassFish servers and as stupid as this sounds it wasn't the first place i looked (I only looked now), but the scripts are compiling. But it seems i have run into another problem as now the webapp deadlocks eventhough the script has finished writing the files.... how do I get around this??

Left untreated, TAAs can burst or rupture, leading to severe internal bleeding, shock and death. Approximately half of all TAAs go undetected because patients do not experience symptoms. Presence of symptoms may depend on the location and size of the aneurysm and whether a dissection is present. Symptoms of aortic rupture or dissection can occur suddenly with severe, sharp pain in the chest or upper back. Patients who experience these symptoms should seek immediate medical attention.
Early detection of aortic aneurysms can prevent sudden death, therefore patients with a family history of aortic aneurysm or other connective tissue disorders should notify their physician about their risk of thoracic aortic aneurysm. Thoracic aneurysms can be easily diagnosed using simple imaging tests including MRI and CT scan. If the TAA is small (around four or less centimeters in diameter), the physician may simply recommend monitoring the size and shape of the aneurysm every six months while also addressing other risk factors such as high blood pressure to reduce the degree of pressure on the weakened area of the aneurysm. Large, symptomatic TAAs require prompt attention to prevent rupture and are typically treated by a vascular surgeon with either open surgical repair or less invasive, endoluminal graft repair as described in this respect.

Plaintiff in UT discrimination case seeks reconsideration
By Benjamin Wermund | July 30, 2014
Photo By Charlie Pearce/MBRRejected University of Texas applicant Abigail Fisher talks to press after her attornies argued her case in front of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in Austin, Texas, on Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2013. The case, which was put before the Supreme Court in October, started when Fisher sued the University for discriminating against her admission application based on her race. (AP Photo/The Daily Texan, Charlie Pearce)
Abigail Fisher, who said she was discriminated against when she was denied admission to the University of Texas at Austin in 2008, is asking the federal appeals court that has twice upheld UT's race-conscious admissions policies to consider her case again.
This month a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that UT's policy was constitutional.
In court 6 years
Fisher's case has bounced from court to court for six years, making it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which kicked it back to the 5th circuit. She and her attorneys have asked all 15 judges of the court to consider the case.
UT considers race as a factor for roughly 25 percent of students who are not admitted under the Top 10 percent rule, which grants automatic admission to the top students of a high school's graduating class.
Fisher, a white applicant from Sugar Land whose grades did not put her in the Top 10 percent of her senior class, claimed UT admitted minority students with worse grades than hers, violating the 14th Amendment in denying her admission.
Feel confident
"We believe that Abigail Fisher has a very good chance of having her case heard en banc, and ultimately reversed by the 5th Circuit," said Edward Blum, of the Project on Fair Representation, which has provided legal representation for Fisher.
If the court agrees to rehear the case, it could hear oral arguments in January.

Take some time to reflect on how far you have come, what you have learned along the way, and what has and has not worked for you in your program.Only by examining the past will you not fall back into old habits and relieve the same mistakes time and again.
Tracking what I eat is really critical to my weight loss success. I track my meals regularly on SP.
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts" -Winston Churchill.
My secret to success would definitely learning how to forgive myself. I am perfectionist and when I would fall down I would continue to beat myself about all of my failures. My success had been on those bad days when instead of beating myself up I actually look back at all the GOOD things I have done and accomplished. Mind over matter. No one is perfect so let yourself off the hook! 306

I had my baby on Jan. 1 and have 6 weeks off. The time has sped by so far and while I enjoy my job I'm dreading returning to work. I don't want to be away from my little one- the pregnancy was a grueling time of illness and the delivery was a nightmare. I'm learning to enjoy life again and want this time to last.
At 12 weeks he'll have to go to daycare- until then my husband and I will have crazy schedules in order to care for him.
I need advice from those of you who have done this before. How do you possibly do this? I don't want to leave him with day care. What about my breasts hurting during the day? How do you deal with the idea that it's unfair that you have to work when your heart wants to care for your child?
I have a nice job and am blessed with a loving husband and healthy child. There are so many good things in life. I want to enjoy the time I have with him- four weeks left. It just seems like time is speding by and all I can do is worry and think of the fact that I have to return to work.

|It all started when the Milwaukee Brewers were visiting the Chicago White Sox on May 8th, 1984. The game was played for 17 innings and the score was tied 3-3 at the time of 12:59pm. MLB rules states that a game cannot be played after 1am in the morning. Both teams arrived the next day to finish the battle. The White Sox won 7-6 by Harold Baines hitting a game ending home run. The ending result was a 25 inning game making an 8 hour and 6 minute long baseball game.

Spain begin their bid to retain the trophy on Friday against the Netherlands, their rivals in the final four years ago in South Africa when the Dutch used a physical approach to try and unsettle them.
The Netherlands now have a coach in Louis van Gaal who hopes to continue the Dutch traditions of total football but has also admitted that he will look to bolster the defence against Spain with five at the back in the Group B match at Salvadore.
"We are not Talibans with just one way of playing," Del Bosque said. "Possession without depth doesn't have any point. For that reason we are working so that the team can pressure to win back possession and then as a group attack.
"Football is played in many ways. We don't have a magic formula, we have a plan based on the players that we have available."

It may be that one of those super-researched limited press books about LiS might have info on this.
If Allen had simply given his space family a new last name, there never would have been any trouble. But instead, they had a troublesome legal entanglement brought by that existing comic book
we never got a (true-vintage) LOST IN SPACE comic like all the other sci-fi shows got.
Allen could have called them the Space Family Finkelsteins, anything, and it would have been smooth sailing.

Poggi BonsiRead MoreOccasionally, an Italian exporter will ask the owner of Poggi Bonsi why she named her business after Poggibonsi, a small town in Tuscany. The answer is simple: it's fun to say. It may be even more fun to peruse the shop's shelves, which hold handpicked items from artisans across the pond. The woman who owns the shop seeks out suppliers who practice crafts the same way her ancestors did. This explains Poggi Bonsi's extensive stock of Italian ceramics and French linens. They supplement this timeless selection with modern appliances, kitchen gadgets, and bakeware.901 SW 152nd StBurien, WA US
NW BBQ and Grilling SchoolRead MoreSmoke and fierce heat rise from a battalion of Weber gas grills and Big Green Egg smokers as barbecue docents line up in front of them, ready to wrangle rafts of raw meat into expertly grilled, smoked, and sauced feasts. In classes that range from three to seven hours, Phoenix BBQ and Grilling School's instructors impart their knowledge of sauces and marinades. They also teach students how to brine, smoke, and grill ingredients such as ribs, turkeys, chickens, peppers, pork, and veggies, all of which are provided. The three dudes in charge have been leading classes since 1998. Head honcho Stu McMullen draws upon myriad cooking classes and international travels to develop exciting recipes, while "sauce king" Eric Viken introduces sauces that can enchant palates and save accidentally overcooked meats. The barbecue experts hold classes onsite or in private backyards, enabling the family cat to finally learn to do something productive with its hunting gifts.742 Industry DrTukwila, WA US

Next to a steely rainbow of hinges, casters, and screws, a supply of lumber and exotic hardwoods provides planks for building tree houses or just leaving around as a warning to uncooperative trees.

As of Thursday, February 7, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
JONESBORO A local funeral home's county contract is DOA.
Morrow-based Harris Ward & Webb Ellison Funeral Home, LLC has held a contract since 2004 to remove dead bodies from crime scenes for the county.
However, the Clayton County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to terminate the contract after it received numerous complaints from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation about the funeral home's job performance.
Among the GBI's complaints are issues with slow response times.
"The central issue was basically them not showing up in a timely manner and there were several times where they were not able to show up at all," said Commission Chairman Jeff Turner.
The GBI's complaints, as outlined in a commission resolution, show a pattern of undesirable service.
In addition to the slow response times, Harris Ward representatives allegedly risked contamination of crime scenes by arriving at the scene during an active investigation — despite being warned by GBI officials to not do so.
A representative of the funeral home is also accused of arriving to retrieve a dead body from one crime scene while a child was present.
"We need to employ a funeral home that can fulfill the obligations of its contract," Turner said.
Nellie Ward, the funeral home's director, admitted to commissioners this week that Harris Ward has not always provided the best service to the county.
"Have we had issues? Yes, we have," said Ward. "There has been times when the car did not operate. We've had to call in a duplicate or call somebody back in to cover. There was a time that I was responding and took ill. I couldn't go any further ...
"So, there have been times where we have not been able to respond — not trying to make excuses — but it seems all of them are legit and there was a reason why we were not able to."
Turner, who is a former Clayton County police chief, said long wait times can have a downhill effect that impacts neighborhood patrolling efforts designed to reduce crime in the county.
The longer Clayton County police have to stay at a crime scene to wait for the funeral home to arrive, the less time those officers have to do other police work.
"We can't just leave the body at the crime scene," Turner said. "Taking officers off the streets to wait for a body to be picked up reduces efforts to fight crime."
Ward said she realized soon after the initial contract was signed that her funeral home could not meet the 30 minutes or less requirement because they were not authorized to drive at high speeds on Clayton County roads. She said a deal was worked out with former Commission Chairman Eldrin Bell and former County Attorney Michael Smith to change the requirement to "30 minutes, or within a reasonable time."
But, the language reverted back to "30 minutes or less" in a contract extension signed last year, said Ward.
"So, this last contract that we currently have, I failed — due to my assuming that the wording was correct — to not read the whole thing through to know it had gone back," she said. "Based on that, GBI feels like we are not responding properly.
"The only defense that I can give is that we're not certified [to drive at high speeds] and if we can't have the proper warning devices and lightings in place, I feel that that's unsafe and I know that it would be illegal for us to do that."

Maggots. It's the first sweeping chicane at Silverstone and, disappointingly, does not relate to a challenging infestation of medieval larvae. Rather, the screamingly pleasant Maggots Moor, which is next to the village of Whittlebury, just to the north-east of the circuit.
It's one of the quintessentially odd names given to each of the kinks and ruffles that make up the circuit, which began life - as many did - as an airstrip, left rotting at the end of World War II. But, like most British institutions, the legendary circuit wasn't conceived in a moment of careless serendipity - it was the result of meticulous planning and painstaking negotiations.
See, the Royal Automobile Club wanted to bring back international motor racing to the UK after the war effort, and chose the Northamptonshire site in 1948 because it was slap-bang in the middle of England. Accessible for many, fed by a decent road network, plenty of room for spectators, and the result of lengthy, difficult talks with legislators.

Republicans were expected to retain their majority in the House of Representatives by the slimmest of margins with Democrats gaining one or more seats, according to ABCNEWS projections.
Like the presidential race, the House races have been competitive, with the contests driven more by issues than strict partisanship. The fight for control of the House was played out in about three dozens races.
Republicans currently hold power in the House: 222 Republican seats compared to 209 Democrats and two independents (with two vacancies). That's the slimmest majority since the Congress under President Dwight Eisenhower's first term in 1953. Democrats would need seven seats to win back a majority.
Today, that did not look likely.
ABCNEWS projected Democrats to have won 211 seats with the Republicans at 220; two other seats of the total 435 were expected to go to third parties and the other two, in New Jersey's 12th District and Florida's 22nd District, were too close to call.
Republicans captured open Democratic seats in Pennsylvania, Missouri, Virginia and Michigan, while vulnerable incumbents pulled out wins in Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Indiana and North Carolina.
Democrats defeated incumbent California Republican James Rogan, a House prosecutor at President Clinton's impeachment trial. In Arkansas, Democratic challenger Mike Ross beat incumbent Republican Jay Dickey and in Utah, the Republican open seat was won by Democrat Jim Matheson.
With such results, it might be the first time since the 1920s that Republicans held power in the House and the Senate for four consecutive congressional sessions, and if Texas Gov. George W. Bush wins the presidency, it would be the first time since 1953-55 that they would control the White House, Senate and House.
Some of the key races:
Closest House Races
Connecticut 5th District (D) Incumbent: Rep. Jim Maloney (D) Challenger: State Sen. Mark Neilsen (R)
In what was one of the ugliest campaigns in the Northeast, U.S. Rep. Jim Maloney (D) has come out on top in a rematch against his challenger, state Sen. Mark Neilsen (R), according to Voter News Service, with 94 percent of the precincts reporting. Democrats hoped that Sen. Joseph Lieberman's coattails would ensure victory for Maloney, who barely pulled out a win against Neilsen in 1998, taking the seat by 50 percent to 48 percent. Rep. Maloney won the seat 54 percent to 44 percent.
New Jersey 7th District (R-Open) Candidates: Mike Ferguson (R) vs. Maryanne Connelly (D)
With all precincts reporting, Republican nominee Mike Ferguson, a 30-year-old former Bronx high school teacher, who lost a bid for the state's 6th Congressional District in 1998, appears to have eked out a win in a district that covers some of New Jersey's wealthier suburbs as well as working class and rural areas. With 100 percent of the vote in, Ferguson takes the race with 50 percent of the vote over his opponent, Maryanne Connelly with 47 percent.
New Jersey 12th District (D) Incumbent: Rep. Rush Holt (D) Challenger: Dick Zimmer (R)

Arizona State Sun Devils
Keala King gives 'statement' on twitter
It's been five days since Arizona State head basketball coach Herb Sendek dismissed his leading scorer and assist man Keala King from the squad.
King, along with fellow sophomore Kyle Cain and junior Chris Colvin, was suspended for last weekend's trip to Los Angeles for "unacceptable conduct".
Following the trip, Sendek made the decision to dismiss King from the team, despite ASU's 5-10 record and lack of depth at the point guard position, where King had been starting, admittedly out of position.
On Thursday, as his former teammates prepare for their Pac- 12 home opener against Oregon, King has finally issued a statement, sort of.
King tweeted Thursday morning, the first we've heard from the sophomore.
At his weekly press conference Wednesday, Sendek talked at length about the decision to boot King off the team.
I just think that it's important, regardless of circumstances, that we maintain certain standards and expectations. We spent a lot of time together and in the final analysis it just seemed to me that it made great sense for our program and for Keala, that he have a new beginning. That's never an easy decision when you're wrestling with a young man's future. That's an agonizing process. But being as close to the situation as I was, on a daily basis it became fairly clear to me that it would benefit our program and, just as important, that it would benefit Keala to have a new beginning. Standards and expectations are important for us and they're also important for him.
King had been averaging 13.7 points and 3.3 assists per game this season after averaging only 3.7 points per contest as a freshman last season.

Rookie Wie-Yin Chen outpitched 40-year-old Andy Pettitte, and the resilient Orioles beat the Yankees 3-2 Monday night to even their best-of-five AL playoff series at a game apiece.
Game 3 will be held Wednesday at Yankee Stadium.
Baltimore fell apart in the ninth inning of the opener Sunday, allowing five runs in a 7-2 defeat. Instead of wilting under the pressure of having to come from behind against the mighty Yankees on Monday, the Orioles stood strong.
"I think that's been big for us all year, the fact that we've been able to put our losses and obviously our low points behind us, really learn from them and bounce back," said right fielder Chris Davis, who had two RBIs.
Before this year, the Orioles endured 14 straight losing seasons and were 79-140 against the Yankees over that span. But during this wildly successful comeback season, Baltimore has thus far split 20 games with New York.
"They have a good team," Yankees captain Derek Jeter conceded.
"It seemed like Baltimore and us have kind of gone back and forth all year and that's what we did here," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.
Baltimore's turnaround from Game 1 was typified by the performance of closer Jim Johnson, who yielded all five of those ninth-inning runs on Sunday before finishing Monday's game with a 1-2-3 ninth.
"(Sunday) night was just a hiccup," Baltimore first baseman Mark Reynolds said. "He obviously showed what he was capable of tonight."
Afterward, Orioles owner Peter Angelos made a rare appearance, shaking hands with virtually every player he came across in the clubhouse.
"It's always good to see the man that signs your check," center fielder Adam Jones said. "I think it means a lot to him and it obviously means a lot to the players to see the owner appreciates you going out there and busting your tail for him, for the organization and for the city."
The Yankees, by virtue of finishing two games ahead of the Orioles in the AL East, have home-field advantage and will host the remainder of the games in the series. But Baltimore won all three series at Yankee Stadium and won't be intimidated by playing there for the right to advance to the AL championship series.
"I think the biggest thing for us is we feel comfortable playing in New York," Davis said.
Hiroki Kuroda will start for New York against rookie Miguel Gonzalez, who was 2-0 with a 2.63 ERA in two starts in the Bronx this season, striking out 17 and walking only one in 13 2-3 innings.
In Game 2, the Orioles used the same formula that got them into the postseason: a magnificent bullpen and an ability to win tight games. Baltimore was 29-9 in one-run decisions during the regular season and 74-0 when leading after seven innings.

Washington Diplomatic Community Engaged to Decrease Growing Global Breast
Cancer Incidence, Mortality Rates
WASHINGTON, March 12 /PRNewswire/ -- First Lady Laura Bush today helped to launch the Susan G. Komen for the Cure (R) Global Promise Fund at a Capitol Hill event to raise awareness of the organization's life-saving work and outline its new strategy of funding culturally sensitive, sustainable education and outreach programs around the world.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070122/NYM084LOGO)
Members of the diplomatic community were present as Mrs. Bush delivered the keynote address and shared her personal perspective on the importance of educating women and their families around the globe. Special guest Dr. Samia Al-Amoudi, a physician from Saudi Arabia who diagnosed her own breast cancer and is now a leading breast cancer advocate, also discussed her work with Susan G. Komen for the Cure in breaking the silence about breast cancer in her home country.
"Work that started in a living room in Dallas 25 years ago is saving the lives of women in Budapest, Dubai, Guadalajara, Jeddah, Rome and other cities around the world," Mrs. Bush said. "This is the story of Susan G. Komen for the Cure."
"Without a cure, an estimated 25 million women around the world will be diagnosed with breast cancer over the next 25 years -- and 10 million could die from the disease," said Komen for the Cure President and CEO Hala Moddelmog. "Our new Global Promise Fund is specifically designed to allow donors -- corporate and individual -- to help fund targeted projects in specific countries around the world to address the growing global burden of breast cancer."
For more than 25 years, Mrs. Bush has actively participated in the
breast cancer awareness movement, including serving as Honorary Co-Chair of
Susan G. Komen for the C

Technically, because TV-B-Gone is a brand name, this is a "TV-B-Gone clone."
The TV-B-Gone is a neat little device that can turn almost any TV on or off. It uses a microcontroller hooked up to IR LEDs to output a library of on/off codes. Adafruit sells a kit, and has the code as well as the schematic on their website.
Here's a micro clone of the TV-B-Gone that runs on a coin cell battery, is slightly bigger than a quarter, and costs about $3.50 (compared to $20) to make!
Step 1: Materials and Tools
- Attiny85v microcontroller - $1.82
- CR2032 battery holder - $0.62
- 8MHz resonator - $0.50
- Wide-angle IR LED - $0.20
- Narrow-bean IR LED - $0.18
- NPN transistor - $0.10
- 150 ohm resistor - $0.05
- 22uf capacitor - $0.02
- Small pushbutton - $0.27 (note: this is slightly different than the one I used)
You will also need some 2032 batteries to power it. DON'T FORGET!
- AVR programmer (I used a USBtinyISP, a good, cheap programmer made from a kit)
- Computer with internet access; I predict you are using one right now :-)
- Soldering iron with solder
- Helping hands tools, very helpful
i've made my own TVBG on my breadboard and it's work!
I added 2 IR so, totally there 4 leds and powered by 2 AA battery. Can't wait to try this with the big screen TV in school LOL
I just finished putting the v1.1 together on a breadboard to test it and I was wondering if I could add two IR LEDs for a total of four, would I have to increase the battery voltage from 3v to something like 4.5v? (Wouldn't be much of a problem since I'm going to use AA batteries, just need to use a 3 battery holder instead of 2) or would I just have to add a transistor?
Great instructable by the way!
Just one question: would it work with an ATTINY85-20PU?
As for the code, you shouldn't have to modify it. I would recommend leaving the button in the way it is right now to save battery, but if you want to wire it for single press operation there should be a schematic on Adafruit's website. The microcontroller would be wired directly to power but the sense pin (pin 6 I think) would have the button between it and ground.
Version 1.1 has worked perfectly fine for me and I've never found a TV I can't turn off.
Good luck and have fun! I'll try to respond more quickly next time if you have any more questions.
know arduino and i just need to know what type arduino you used and the software.
I have no idea where the website I got the files from are, but if you PM me your email I can send them to you, it seems you can't upload a file into a comment.
Also I have individual WAV files for each TV type, and I have them all combined into 4 WAV files, tell me which you want, or if you want all of them. All together the files are about 15MB.
I've found that there are no mp3 players that put out the required voltage to light the led's, you have to run the audio through some sort of amplifier, I wanted to make a very tiny in line amp that used a transistor and watch batteries, but I couldn't get enough quality, the sound degradation was so bad that the TV wouldn't recognize the signal, so you either have to use a bigger amp like I did, or make a high quality mini amp.
I have an Arduino to ATtiny programmer...do you think that would work?
avrdude -c arduino -p t85 -P COM2 -b 19200 -U flash:w:tvbgone.hex
Change the programmer to the Arduino, include the port to whatever port your arduino is on ie com port 2 would we '-P com2', make sure the p is capitalized, and change the baudrate to 19200, The baudrate was the thing that was messing me up

The war on crime will continue with the annual National Night Out event, which will be held Tuesday, Aug. 3 and the planning process is well under way
Oakdale paid homage to its Western roots with a celebration of all things cowboy and ranching on Saturday, July 24. The day was observed as the National Day of the American Cowboy and included a variety of competition at the Oakdale Saddle Club Rodeo Grounds, in addition to special sidewalk sales and deals at multiple stores around town.
Changes were made to this year's Stanislaus County Fair, one of them being that the fair's date was moved to take place sooner in the month since the California State Fair did the same. However, even though the county fair dates were adjusted, there is still overlap with the state fair. In some cases, it worked out for some exhibitors to show at both fairs, but not for all of them.Oakdale FFA advisor Ed Hartzell stated that the overlap in dates especially affected breeding beef exhibitors, causing the junior exhibitors to have to make a choice to ...
With the new fiscal year in full swing, The Oakdale Leader thought it would be prudent to sit down with Oakdale City Fire Chief Michael Botto and find out how the city fire department is weathering the budget crisis and how the changes might affect the community. (Answers may have been edited for content.) What structural changes within the department will be made to accommodate the FY Budget 2010-11? BOTTO: We have reduced our administration staffing from two full-time chief officers and one half-time executive secretary to two part-time chief officers and one full-time executive secretary.

He attended Oakdale schools.By the age of 21, Mr. Garcia was already showing his commitment to the City of Oakdale when he assisted with forming Oakdale's first Police Reserves. He obtained the rank of Captain for three years and was a member of the reserves for 10 years.In his early 30s, he was elected to the Oakdale City Council, serving from ...
The Oakdale Irrigation District's water counsel Tim O'Laughlin spoke to the Board of Directors at the regular July 6 meeting about the status of Delta issues regarding water rights and uncontrolled, unregulated, and possibly illegal diversions there. O'Laughlin's talk was part of an agenda item about possibly responding to a June 2010 editorial about "Delta attacks" in the San Joaquin Farm Bureau News penned by its Executive Director Bruce Blodgett.
The OID directors voiced their displeasure with the editorial.
There were no drownings, no major accidents and no fires in the Oakdale area but there was still plenty going on as heavy traffic clogged roadways and police chased down drunk drivers and busted criminals right and left during the Fourth of July holiday weekend.
An empty lot remains where two portable classrooms had stood together for many years at the Alternative Education location on the corner of Hinkley Avenue and G Street, just west of Oakdale High School.

Whether one is producing music, podcasts, game sounds, or film sound effects, Digital Audio Principles provides the tips and techniques that will make the project a success. Author Dave Schroeder explains the basics of digital audio production techniques and covers the essential hardware and software. He also discusses sound theory, frequency response, the range of human hearing, and dynamic range.
When you're working with digital audio, you are asking your hard drive to find data and play it back in real time or continuously. That can be demanding enough if you're asking for one or two tracks, but you might find yourself in the situation where you are asking for 24 or 32 tracks to be played at one time, and hard drives will have a big impact on that. The hard drive speed refers to how fast the disk spins, and it's rated in RPM or Revolutions Per Minute. Basically, the faster it spins, the faster you can get data from that disk. So, I've shown a few speeds here that you can get drives, and typically there's 4200, 5400, 7200, and 10,000.
4200 and 5400 end up being a little too slow if you want to do lots of tracks. They just don't spin that fast, you'll find those in a lot of laptop computers. Newer laptops will have 7200 drives in them now. Most tower computers, PCs, G4 and stuff like that will come with 7200 or faster drives. A 7200 speed drive works great for audio and 10,000 speed drive will work even better. Shoot for 7200 RPM for your hard drives, especially if you're dedicating one drive just to audio.
The other thing to keep in mind is the Cache size. A Cache is essentially a buffer that allows the drive to read and write data smoothly and continuously. Cache sizes can range from 2MB to 16MB. Anything over 8MB is preferred, a really small cache makes it a little bit slower. The other thing to think about is the bus or how your hard drive connects to the computer. Now, there are a few different types, there are external drives and internal drives. Now with an external drive you might use FireWire or USB, and again, it's good look for the most recent versions of those standards.
FireWire 800 and USB 2.0 are both a lot faster than the earlier versions of those standards. If you have an internal drive, it probably connects via the IDE system bus, or it could be via a Serial ATA, or SATA Drive. The IDE is plenty fast, and it uses that big fat ribbon cable and connects right to your motherboard, and you can connect a couple different drives in sequence with that. The Serial ATA uses a smaller connector, a lot of newer computers come ready with Serial ATA, drivers on board, but they don't necessarily ship with Serial ATA drives, you generally have to kind of look for those.
Serial ATA is a faster bus system than IDE, and if you are doing lots of tracks, that definitely might be worth looking into. Another thing to consider is that certain digital audio software requires that you have two hard drives, one that drives the software itself and one that you actually use for just recording and playing back the audio data. This can be good and bad. It's good that you are allowing different drives to do different tasks that need to happen simultaneously, so each drive is just looking for certain kinds of data. The bad thing is if you want to be portable with a laptop, and you have this kind of software, you'll have to carry an extra drive with you.
Another thing to think about is if you are going to use really high-capacity hard drives, like up to 300 GB or so is that you could partition them or divide it into a few different drive sections. This can sometimes improve the efficiency of the drive, it also can make your life easier instead of having one gigantic 300 Gig Drive, you've cut that up into three drives, and you call it audio one, audio two, and audio three, then you can do stuff like say I am going to put projects on audio three and on audio one I'll do the work for my buddy, and on audio two we'll store our samples or something like that.
So, in terms of kind of finding data in a 300 GB area, it's like the first step in kind of a file system, and it can be really helpful. But the main advantage is that it reduces the amount of geography on the disk where the data can be stored for a certain session. So, the computer effectively can find it faster, because it's searching a smaller area. Finally, and this isn't really necessarily a hard drive thing, it's kind of an overall general computer thing, but there are a couple of things you can always do to optimize the PC. One thing is when you're working with your digital audio turn off other applications and maybe some background applications so that you can dedicate all the resources of the computer to working with digital audio.
Another thing to do is to turn the screen saver and the sleep modes off. Sometimes if you're recording a long session or a 4-minute song, then boom! Up pops the screensaver. Sometimes, you can just come out of it, and it will be fine, but other times it will throw things off or screw up the recording process. So, also if you're just sitting across the room, kind of watching the monitor or you are laying down a drum track, and you're watching it go across and all of a sudden up pops the screensaver, that can be a little disconcerting and throw off your performance a little bit. So, remember to turn those off when you're working with digital audio.
In the next movie we'll talk about some of the noises and sounds that PCs actually make, and we'll talk about ways to address that.
