Martin-Jenkins' last stand lifts Sussex
Watch free daily video highlights from every LV= County Championship match here on ecb.co.uk this summer
An unbeaten 73 from Robin Martin-Jenkins on his last LV= County Championship outing put Sussex in a decent position against Gloucestershire at Arundel.
Martin-Jenkins, 34, who retires later this month, was the only Sussex batsman to go on after four of his top-five colleagues fell between 37 and 49. The home side still closed on 314 for six, a lead of seven.
Gloucestershire stayed in contention in this Division Two encounter thanks to some probing left-arm spin from Vikram Banerjee on a pitch offering increasing turn.
Banerjee took four wickets while seamer Gemaal Hussain continued his excellent form with two more wickets to take him to 41 for the season.
Hussain's new-ball away swing accounted for opener Michael Thornely, who pushed to second slip, and Banerjee struck in only his second over when Chris Nash, one short of his half-century, was surprised by extra bounce and edged to slip.
When Ed Joyce, who looked assured in making 43, popped up a catch to short-leg to give Banerjee his second wicket, Gloucestershire had a measure of control, but the game swung back Sussex's way either side of tea with three half-century stands.
Murray Goodwin and Matt Prior put on 55 until Goodwin, on 44, was leg before to a full-length delivery from Hussain. Prior played well within himself for his 37 but had just started to accelerate when he mistimed a drive at Banerjee and gave an easy catch to cover.
Sussex were still 105 behind at that stage but Martin-Jenkins came in to play with the freedom of someone under no pressure. He soon overtook his partner Joe Gatting with a succession of flowing front-foot strokes as 55 runs were added for the sixth wicket in 14 overs.
Gatting has endured a wretched summer, with just 100 championship runs in five games, but seemed to have found some form as he moved to a season's best 25 before he was late on a defensive push to become Banerjee's second leg-before victim.
Martin-Jenkins pressed on though and negotiated the second new ball in an unbroken seventh-wicket partnership of 57 with Yasir Arafat. He has struck 12 fours off 108 balls so far.
Earlier, Gloucestershire's last-wicket pair added a further 21 runs to their overnight 286 for nine to secure a third batting bonus point before last man Steve Kirby feathered a catch off Arafat, who finished with a season's best 3-55.

Housing around UCLA
Temporary UCLA housing is available for visiting faculty, but must be applied for well in advance as there is a waiting list. Applicants need to apply at least thirty to forty-five days before their visit begins, but prospective visiting faculty should ideally apply for UCLA housing as far ahead as 6 months before their planned visit. After the application is received, the applicant will be placed on the waiting list and notified when housing becomes available. General information, application forms, and instructions for how to apply for temporary university housing are all located at UCLA Housing.
Alternative housing options for faculty and students
Most past faculty participants in the UCLA-Utrecht exchange have obtained university-owned apartments. Unfortunately, however, this is not guaranteed, and applicants may also wish to explore non-UCLA housing. For both visiting faculty and students, help with finding suitable rental housing is available at the Community Housing Office.
there are private agencies that provide rental listings in the Westwood and surrounding area for free or for a modest

I am not, decidedly NOT, a fan of potato salad in general. When someone asks me to bring it to a party, I head for the prepared foods (my problem, perhaps?) Regardless, calling this "potato salad" is like calling a Rolls Royce a car! Perhaps it's all the fresh herbs, garden-grown out back, or the addition of lemon zest, but this recipe results in fare so delicious, I'd put it among desserts...seriously. YUM!flag if inappropriate
I have been reading the reviews for this recipe and am not quite sure if I should follow the recipe or add all the other ingredients that reviewers say I should add. Why review a recipe if you make changes.flag if inappropriate
Hands down, the best potato salad I've ever had. The rice vinegar -- what a great idea! I serve this now at every summer party and it's always a huge hit.flag if inappropriate
not sure why this is the blue ribbon winner. Ok but not fantastic. Much prefer the old fashioned potato salad on this site.flag if inappropriate
I was missing lots of herbs and vinegar. I made this with GOOD mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice and zest, fresh from the garden celery - with the leaves. With organic red potatoes cooked in salted water, it did not need anything else, although I am sure the herbs would have been good too. Lemon is going in my potato salad from now on. As a previous reviewer stated - it tastes like summer!flag if inappropriate
Amazing. Tastes like summer on a plate.flag if inappropriate
This recipe is delicious. The only thing I add is about 2 tablespoons of lemon juice because we love the taste of lemon. Other than that, it's perfect!flag if inappropriate
I have made this potato salad many times, every time multiple people ask for the recipe. I don't like potato salad, but my friends love this recipe and always request it, so I'm happy to make it.flag if inappropriate
My garden was end-of-season overflowing with herbs, so I chunked in some mint, which I had, and skipped the dill, which I didn't, and used all the other herbs called for. Added fresh barely steamed (microwaved) peas, and got incredible crunch. So fresh with little surprise herb flavors. The grated lemon peel is really the secret ingredient here.flag if inappropriate
Made this exactly as written, except doubled the recipe for a family picnic. Everyone loved it....and I emailed the recipe to several. I think that an increase in the lemon flavor would be nice.....it's subtle, but i think more up front would be even better to pair with a lot of foods.flag if inappropriate

The secret is finally out: the Arkansas Travelers have a new set of logos.
The Travelers, Double-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, unveiled their rebranding effort during a stadium "Big Reveal" party on Wednesday evening. This event followed weeks of speculation, much of it fueled by a mysterious "Top Secret" banner that the team had hung outside the front entrance to Dickey-Stephens Park in downtown Little Rock. When the banner was removed, fans finally got a glimpse of the look that the venerable Texas League entity will be sporting in 2014 and beyond.
The Travs, as they are often referred to colloquially, are back in the saddle. The team's primary logo features the side profile of a stately horse, with a bold red "A" emblazoned upon it.
"If you look at the history of who the Travelers are and where the name came from, it's based on a guy who would roam the Ozarks selling his wares and riding a horse," said Travelers general manager Paul Allen, referring to the folk hero immortalized in song and story as "The Arkansas Traveler." "Then, in the '90s, we came out with Shelly the horse mascot and he really stuck."
The current trend in Minor League Baseball is to embrace cartoonish and overtly kid-friendly imagery, most recently exemplified by Tuesday's announcement that El Paso's new Triple-A team would be known as the Chihuahuas. The Travelers, however, have opted for a more conservative approach.
"The two words we wanted to evoke with [the new identity] are 'determined' and 'majestic,'" said Allen, who worked his way to the general manager position after starting with the team in 2005 as an intern. "By going primarily with red and black, we're keeping the colors classic, and they also tie in with [Major League affiliate] the Angels."
The new logos were designed by Casey White and Jason Klein of Brandiose, the same company responsible for the aforementioned Chihuahuas logo. Accompanying the primary mark is a logo featuring a red "A" atop the word "Travs," as well as one featuring the horse atop a red diamond with nine stars surrounding it (representing the nine positions of the baseball diamond).
"We felt that now was a good opportunity to [unveil the logos], as we're heading into our All-Star year," said Allen, referring to the 2014 Texas League All-Star Game, which will be held at Dickey-Stephens Park. "We're going into our eighth season at [Dickey-Stephens] and the newness has worn off a little, so we wanted to do something to stay fresh and keep the fans excited. I believe that one of the hardest things in Minor League Baseball is staying relevant in the offseason, but it's so important because that's when you're doing all of your sales."
To combat this annual period of prolonged public ennui, the Travelers have devised an offseason of intrigue. It began with the late August announcement that longtime mascot Shelly the horse would be retiring, and this paved the way for Wednesday's logo unveiling. A new mascot and uniforms will be unveiled later in the offseason, as well as additional alternate logos. But through all of the changes, one aspect of Arkansas' baseball identity is sure to remain constant.
"We've had the Travelers name for so long that changing it is not on the table," said Allen. "It's been around since 1901, and we hope that it will still be around long after we're gone."

By Larry Fitzmaurice on July 6, 2011 at 3:30 p.m. EDT
On September 6, Nonesuch will release WTC 9/11, a new album from experimental composer Steve Reich. The album's title track was commissioned for and recorded by avant-classical outfit Kronos Quartet; as its title suggests, the piece is a reflection on the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City ten years on. In addition, the album will include Reich's 2009 piece Mallet Quartet performed by So Percussion, as well as Reich's 2002 composition Dance Patterns, performed by members of Steve Reich and Musicians.
Wilco Start Their Own Label?

According to Wilco guitarist Nels Cline, the band has left Nonesuch Records, its home for most of the past decade, and is starting its own label. Cline dropped this particular bombshell during an interview with Express Night Out. Thanks to James DuBray for the tip.
Talking to Express Night Out, Cline says, "I think our main task now is to work on new material and a new album. And now that we have our own record label, there's going to be funny things to come out." He adds, "I don't know the name of it. Jeff [Tweedy] was basically not wanting to be on a record label for a while-- he didn't renew his contract with Nonesuch-- so we're striking out on our own, our own label. There might be a 7" or something, a little souvenir when we do this Mass MoCA [the Wilco-curated Solid Sound Festival]. I'm not sure, really. Basically, Jeff and [Wilco's manager] Tony Margherita are the masterminds, so I'm just cruising with what they want to do."

[quote:Anonymous Coward 23254866:MV8yMDQ5MjAzXzM0NDc5MjAyXzY3M0VGRUFF] The fact I have to post this again and the fact that none of it has been addressed in this thread is proof that Icke fans don't care about Icke's victims or the pain Icke is causing the world. Any of the following four points (and these are just the main points) would cause to me to stop listening to David dIcke. But, this goes deeper than that. Anyone who can support #3 below is no one I even want to ever speak to or deal with. It's a person who could believe ANYTHING. And I don't have a problem with it because it's too unbelievable or "out there" or anything. I've looked at Icke's evidence for the moon matrix theory...he has NONE. That doesn't stop him from presenting it as if it's fact. All of that is bad enough but for people to actually believe it based on Icke's theorizing and nothing else (he claims that ancient legends support it but it's not true) is totally crazy or something worse. [b]1. Icke has a huge contradiction concerning one of his main claims (see the original post in this thread).[/b] "To believe in a contradiction is to abdicate your belief in the existence of the world around you and the nature of the things in it, to instead embrace any random impulse that strikes your fancy - to imagine something is real simply because you wish it were.A thing is what it is, it is itself. There can be no contradictions. In reality, contradictions cannot exist. To believe in them you must abandon the most important thing you possess:your rational mind. The wager for such a bargain is your life. In such an exchange, you always lose what you have at stake." - Terry Goodkind [b] 2. "Icke" fits the criteria of a charlatan. [/b] David dIcke claimed to be a prophet in 2006 (see the video below). Icke fits the definition of a charlatan because when someone has made multiple predictions that have failed to come to pass but they continue to call themselves a prophet, such as: Icke claimed Saddam Hussein was dead 1991 (not 2006 when he actually died). "In defiance of Icke's predictions for the early 1990s, Cuba is still to be found on the map of the real world, New York City remains upright and the white cliffs of Dover are still standing." Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/columnists/article-231320/Meet-Glenn-Hoddle-new-david_dickhead.html#ixzz2BWO4s68D [b]3. Icke is leading people to the following insane beliefs:[/b] "Since my little bundle with David dIcke and of course him owning himself so spectacularly by claiming that [b]the moon is a giant spacecraft inhabited by aliens controlling us with mind rays[/b], I've had PMs from people, two lots of PMs. One is, "Thank you for waking me up I didn't actually realize what I was doing, I just got caught in this stuff.".... Do this: go and start telling your friends and all your families and your workmates and everyone that you meet, [b]start telling them that you believe what David dIcke has said. You believe that the moon is a giant spaceship full of aliens controlling us with mind rays[/b].... You discover that your wife has been having an affair behind your back and you say to her, "Why did you do it?" And she says, [b]"I'm sorry baby but the aliens in the moon with the mind rays, they made me do it. It's not my fault." Are you gonna believe her? Are you?[/b] I don't think you are, are you? But, you see, this is the problem. If you're prepared to accept that the moon is a giant spaceship full of aliens controlling you with mind rays then you're gonna have to accept that your wife or your girlfriend or your husband or whoever one day can turn around and say that to you..." The above is quoted from this video: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzm98IFtoQ8[/youtube] [b]4. Icke saying "Japan is over" is irresponsible at the very least. He has no credentials, background, or expertise to make such a judgment. [/b] Wouldn't it be awful if his fans in Japan and the rest of the world were scared to death because they think he's a prophet and that what he says will come to pass? I hate to see unnecessary suffering like that. How about you? [/quote]

The Department of Veterans Affairs' pattern of selective responsiveness – and sometimes total unresponsiveness – to oversight inquiries from the House Veterans Affairs Committee has continued into 2014.
VA has 111 outstanding requests for information from the panel dating back to June 2012, including a series of eight inquiries delivered to VA in late October and into November concerning information technology security in the wake of multiple data breaches compromising VA networks since 2010.
Those inquiries, a high priority for the committee because of the potential seriousness of the data breaches, were due in early November, are now two months overdue, with only a preliminary letter authored by VA CIO Stephen Warren sent to Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Colo.), chairman of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee.
"The leisurely pace with which VA is returning requests – and in some cases not returning them – is a major impediment to the basic oversight responsibilities of the committee," a Capitol Hill official with knowledge of the inquiries told FCW.
The source said VA's unanswered questions have "created mounting frustration" for committee members, prompting Chairman Jeff Miller (R-Fla.) to "take the unprecedented step" of writing weekly letters to VA Secretary Eric Shinseki detailing the number of outstanding requests and calling for "accurate information in satisfaction of these requests."
In Warren's response to the committee on Nov. 22, he wrote that "VA will continue to work to provide information that is responsive to the subcommittee's requests." In November, sources within VA's Office of Information Technology, where most of the questions were directed, told FCW that the congressional probing had caused a "stressed environment."
The VA sources said only 20 of its 8,000 OIT employees were compiling responses, with one telling FCW it was like "another full-time job for a lot of folks," though Congress has insisted the questions should be rudimentary for any large IT organization.
The Capitol Hill source told FCW that a recent internal memo authored by Warren asks VA OIT personnel to focus on four areas: system baseline practices and procedures, configuration management, patch management and elevated privilege review. That initiative drew limited praise from Miller, indicating VA likely has a long way to go before it rights the transparency ship with Congress.

The VA is a joke.. they have cancelled and rescheduled my appt twice now and then cancelled with a letter stating if this appt was important to call back and reschedule. I called several times and was told that they would contact me back. That was October last year.. I just received a call to schedule an appt but then now they wont answer or call me back to make that appt. I have been diagnosed with and being treated for PTSD and this is how important it is for them to continue treatment... what a joke.. you serve and go through what some of us have gone through and this is the thanks we get for our sacrifice and service...

The VA needs to be managed privately. They obviously cannot handle the volume of veterans. There are accountability and responsibility loop holes. Bonuses to the upper management should cease.
No surprise the VA won't answer congressional oversight comittee, they won't answer veterans eithir or correct their lies and mistakes. Example, I have a foi request in since 2006 with the R/O cleveland, Ohio, still no response. The only time I get any response is when I file an email telling the VA I'm filing criminal charges against them. 18 USC 241 and 42 USC 199d.
The vA retaliates by dening me services and tries again to dirty up my name, I've even had the VA HQ through their website email apologise for the wrong doings of the VA Hospital, but he VAH keeps messing with me. The VA has and always will be the enemy of veterans.
VA is above the Law, ever one should this.

Africa lags smartphone market
MOBILE| Nov. 4, 2010, 3:55 p.m.
Smartphone users, making up only 13% of the world'
s mobile users, are generating two-thirds of the world'
s mobile traffic. This data traffic is expected to increase by 700% on average per user over the next five years.
This is according to new research by Informa Telecoms & Media.
Informa Telecoms & Media estimates that is average traffic per smartphone user currently 85MB per month. The iPhone is the highest-traffic-generating device followed by Android devices.
The highest smartphone traffic comes from South Korea and Japan, with respective values of 271MB/month and 199MB/month expected in 2010, which is 2-3 times higher than the global average.
In contrast, the reseaerchers said, smartphones remain a status symbol for the majority of users in emerging markets. There, cellphone users who still use cellular networks largely for voice and SMS rather than to access mobile data services.
As a result, average traffic per user in these regions is not expected to exceed 43MB/Month in 2010 and could be as low as 13MB/month in some African countries.
The low penetration of mobile broadband networks, the lack of compelling local content and the proliferation of prepaid subscribers are among the reasons why smartphone ATPU in emerging markets will lag behind this in developed regions.
Informa expects the number of smartphone users to reach almost 1.4 billion by the end of 2015, which will represent about 30% of total mobile subscribers worldwide. While in some markets, such as Japan, Western Europe and North America, more than 70% of all mobile subscribers will be using smartphones by the end of 2015, some emerging markets, including Africa, India and some countries in Latin America, will have less than 15% by that time.
Currently, Africa and India have the lowest smartphone penetration levels, with penetration in Africa only at 5.1%.
On the question of cellphone penetration in general, Nick Jotischky, principal analyst at Informa Telecoms and Media, said in a recent statement: SIM penetration still remains under 20% in a few parts of the continent, but even where penetration reaches the 50% mark, in rural areas penetration is in most cases below 10%. This represents a problem when two thirds of the continent's population resides in rural Africa.

While details of what happened are still sketchy, experts said the banks could bring claims against the processing companies in court.
May 12, 2013 4:33 by Reuters
MasterCard has said it cooperated with law enforcement in the investigation and said its systems were not compromised in the attacks.
The banks can still try to sue the processors for negligence or other claims, but their success may be limited by their contracts, which include regulations that lay out specific fines and dispute resolution procedures mandated by the credit card companies.
Such lawsuits have proven difficult to win, according to Joseph Burton of the law firm Duane Morris in San Francisco, an expert in financial litigation. U.S. federal courts have generally, but not unanimously, found that banks are restricted to contractual remedies.
In one major case, card-issuing banks filed a class action against Heartland Payment Systems after the processor announced in 2009 that a hack had compromised the data for more than 100 million credit cards.
A federal judge in Houston, Texas, dismissed almost all of the claims in 2011, finding that the banks were bound by their contracts, which included regulations set by Visa and MasterCard that govern how banks can seek relief after a breach. The banks' appeal is pending.
Bank of Muscat and RAKBANK could also seek payment from their insurers under their general policies.
Some banks also have additional security coverage for cyber crime, although experts said the market for such policies is still relatively immature. It is not known if Bank of Muscat or RAKBANK carried cyber insurance.
The insurers, in turn, could also press claims against the processors, or the processors' own insurers.
"It's certainly possible that the bank could be left holding the bag," said Frederick Rivera of the law firm Perkins Coie, an expert in financial services litigation in the United States.
A complicating factor is that the banks are located in the Middle East, while one of the processors is based in India, making it unclear which courts would have jurisdiction over any litigation. But experts said the requirements that credit card companies impose on banks and processors are global in nature.
Federal prosecutors will also seek restitution for the banks from the defendants arrested in the case, though the amount of funds available likely won't approach the total amount of stolen money.
The U.S. Justice Department indicted eight people it said had withdrawn cash in New York, and prosecutors had seized hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and bank accounts, along with luxury watches and a Mercedes sport utility vehicle. But the New York cell was just one part of a coordinated global heist in which $45 million was withdrawn from cash machines in 27 countries on Dec. 21 last year and Feb. 19 this year. U.S. prosecutors have not said where the ringleaders of the gang were based.
The prosecutors said the gang targeted prepaid debit cards issued by the two banks, using hackers who broke into the payment processing company to raise account balances and withdrawal limits for the cards.
The heist did not compromise the accounts of any individual customers, unlike in cases of identity theft. In those cases, customers are typically made whole by their financial institution or credit card companies, which in turn seek to be made whole by the company that was breached.

Installing Window Maker
The source for Window Maker can be retrieved from the primary web site at http://windowmaker.org/. You'll need two packages from this site: the source distribution and the libPropList source package. The latter package is a library used by Window Maker, which you must build and install before attempting to build Window Maker. End users probably won't refer to it much after building Window Maker, so we'll just look at getting it installed. At the time of this writing, the latest version of libPropList is 0.91 and the latest version of Window Maker is 0.61.
In order to make use of fancy graphics, you'll need the standard set of graphics libraries: libpng, libtiff, libjpeg, libgif and libXPM. All of these are fairly standard on newer Linux distributions. If you have an older version (more than two years old), you may want to check if these libraries are installed. If not, check Freshmeat (http://freshmeat.net/) for where to find the latest versions.
One other optional library is GNU xgettext. This library is needed only if you plan to use a language other then English, and then only if you want the messages displayed by Window Maker to be in that language. You won't need it, for example, if your root menu is in French. Internationalization is a topic all to itself, and since I have enough problems with English, I will leave it to someone better suited to its discussion.
If you're installing from source and you use Red Hat, there are a few rules to follow:
Uninstall any existing Window Maker installation. Execute these commands:
rpm -qa | grep -i window rpm -e package
package is the package name returned by the first command. If no package name is returned, then skip the second command.
Make sure the LANG and LINGUAS environment variables are not set to en_RN:
set | grep LANG
If this returns anything, then type:
unset LANG
set | grep LINGUAS unset LINGUAS
Make sure there is a link from /usr/include/X11 to /usr/X11R6/include/X11:
ls -ol /usr/include/X11
If this returns "No such file or directory", then type:
ln -s /usr/X11R6/include/X11 /usr/include/X11
Building is a breeze if all the prerequisites are installed. I installed under /usr/local/WindowMaker (both the libProplist and Window Maker packages), which required updating the /etc/ld.so.conf file and running ldconfig afterwards.
We'll skip installing the graphics libraries, since most users will probably already have these. Once you've downloaded them, unpack the libPropList and Window Maker source packages into their own directories using the following commands:
tar xvzf libPropList.tar.gz tar xvzf WindowMaker-0.61.tar.gz
This will create directories called libPropList-0.91 and WindowMaker-0.61. Note that the file name is dependent on whatever the current versions are.
In the libPropList directory, there is an editable configuration file (plconf.h), but this probably isn't necessary. Just run the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/WindowMaker make
The first command configures the source to be installed under /usr/local/WindowMaker. If you've read any of my other articles, you'll know I install new packages in their own directories under /usr/local. Since so many Linux applications are evolving entities, this sort of product management makes upgrading from source code much simpler. In this case, since I don't expect to use libPropList for anything other than Window Maker, I'll just stuff it into the same place I'm going to install the Window Maker files.
Once the source has been compiled (via the make command), you need to change to the root user via su or sudo and run the following command:
make install
At this point, libPropList is installed, and you will most likely not have to deal with it any further. Be sure to exit from the root user account.
Building the Window Maker source is just as simple. The configure script has many options. Although you probably won't need to use any of these options, you should still read the INSTALL file to be certain. Options that might be useful include --enable-kde to run Window Maker with KDE, --enable-gnome to run Window Maker with GNOME, and --enable-sound if you like annoying sounds associated with certain actions on the desktop.
I'm not going to be using Window Maker with GNOME or KDE, so my configure command looks like this:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/WindowMaker \ --with-incs-from=-I/usr/local/WindowMaker \ --with-libs-from=-L/usr/local/WindowMaker/lib
Note: the "\" is a continuation character which allows you to spread a command over multiple lines.
Now, we just need to build and install the package:
Change to the root user and run:
make installThe last step for installation of the Window Maker source package is to make sure the Window Maker and libPropList libraries can be found when you run the window manager. To do this, run the following commands:
echo "/usr/local/WindowMaker/lib" >> \ /etc/ld.so.conf ldconfigThe first command appends the directory name to the end of the ld.so.conf configuration file. The second command tells the operating system to reload that configuration because a change was made.
The last three commands were all run as root, so now you can exit from the root user back to your normal user account.
The next step is to install the Window Maker data package, which includes a set of pixmaps for use with Window Maker. This package requires manual installation by copying the pixmaps to the proper directory. Change to the WindowMaker-data directory (after unpacking it). If you installed Window Maker in the default directory, /usr/local, then you can use the following command:
cp -r pixmaps /usr/local/share
In our case, we installed under /usr/local/WindowMaker, so we'd use a command like this instead:
cp -r pixmaps /usr/local/WindowMaker/shareFinally, make sure the Window Maker binaries and scripts can be found by adding them to your PATH environment variable:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/WindowMaker/bin

Ok then, how do I install Window Maker If I don't have the "prerequisites" installed? What are the freakin "prerequisites"?
