Pittsburgh (69-86) at Arizona (89-66)
- Game info: 3:40 pm EDT Wed Sep 21, 2011
Arizona has not hit the ball well of late, but it's still moving closer to clinching the NL West title.
The Diamondbacks hope to take another step toward a division crown and avoid their first losing home series in more than a month Wednesday as they wrap up a three-game set with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Arizona (89-66) averaged 5.1 runs while winning 18 of 21, but since then has put up just 2.0 runs per game and batted .212 while dropping four of six. After hanging on for a 1-0 win in Monday's series opener versus Pittsburgh, the Diamondbacks fell 5-3 on Tuesday.
Despite the defeat, the Diamondbacks' magic number for winning the West dropped to three after San Francisco lost at Los Angeles. Arizona, which has Thursday off, could clinch the division this weekend when the reigning World Series champion Giants come to town.
"It's not like we're trying to make outs," shortstop Willie Bloomquist(notes) said. "We're up there trying to get base hits and push runs across.
"The bottom line is at the end of the day we're still in a pretty good position. People just need to relax a little bit. We know what we're doing. We're playing hard. We're going to be fine."
Chris Young and Gerardo Parra(notes) each had two hits Tuesday for Arizona, which has won 16 of 19 at home since dropping two of three to the Dodgers from Aug. 5-7, their last losing series at Chase Field.
Young is batting .233 on the season, but is 6 for 14 in his last five games. He's also 10 for 30 in his last eight versus Pittsburgh.
The Diamondbacks hope to break out of their offensive funk against Pittsburgh's Ross Ohlendorf(notes) (1-2, 6.82 ERA), who is coming off the best outing of his abbreviated season.
Making his fifth start since missing almost five months with a strained shoulder, Ohlendorf allowed two runs and four hits in seven innings and also hit a three-run homer in a 6-2 win at Dodger Stadium on Thursday.
"It's been a while since I've pitched like that," said Ohlendorf, who yielded six runs in two innings in his previous outing versus Florida. "It's by far the best I've felt since I got hurt the first time. I feel like I'm finally getting back to what I'm capable of doing."
The right-hander is 0-1 with a 2.25 ERA in two starts against the Diamondbacks - both in 2009.
Derrek Lee(notes) hit a two-run homer and Pedro Alvarez(notes) added a solo shot Tuesday as the Pirates (69-86) snapped a four-game skid and won for only the third time in 12 contests. Despite missing almost a month with a broken wrist, Lee has hit .342 with six homers and 16 RBIs in 21 games since being acquired by the Pirates from Baltimore at the trade deadline.
Trying to win its first series in Arizona since 2005, Pittsburgh will get its first look at Arizona rookie Wade Miley(notes) (3-2, 4.24), who makes his seventh career start.
The left-hander allowed two runs in six innings of a 2-0 loss at San Diego on Friday.

Lightweight and portable washing machines are great to use in situations where you do not have access to traditional washing machines. Yet problems may occur when a varied distribution of clothing causes walking instability in these machines. We tested for walking instability during the spin cycle of a portable washing machine and used an active balancing method in an attempt to remove this instability.

In this new blog series, we will take a detailed look at how you can process and interpret material data from tests. We will also explain why it is not a good idea to just enter a simple stress-strain curve as input.

Previous work on cloaking for flexural waves in elastic plates presented limitations and near invisibility. Now, a research group in Europe has figured out a new theoretical framework to both overcome the limitations and achieve exact cloaking for flexural waves in Kirchhoff-Love plates. To visualize and test the quality of the cloak, they ran COMSOL Multiphysics simulations.

Reciprocating engines are used extensively for power generation in a variety of applications, most notably within the automobile industry. In the design process, it is important to ensure that all of the engine's parts can withstand high stresses and loads in order to maximize the operational lifetime. Here, we analyze fatigue in an engine's connecting rods.

When inside a room — a conference room, concert hall, or even a car — everyone has an opinion of when the "acoustics" are good or bad. In room acoustics, we want to study this notion of sound quality in a quantitative way. In short, room acoustics is concerned with assessing the acoustics of enclosed spaces. The Acoustics Module of COMSOL Multiphysics has several tools to simulate the acoustics of rooms and other confined spaces. I will present those here.

A thermostat is a device that senses the temperature of a system and uses this information to control the system's heaters, or coolers, to keep the temperature close to a desired setpoint. While there are many different types of thermostats, we will focus today on one that turns a heater either on or off based upon two setpoints. This is known as an on-off or a bang-bang controller, and it can be implemented with the Events interface in COMSOL Multiphysics.

Acoustic radiation force is an important nonlinear acoustic phenomenon that manifests itself as a nonzero force exerted by acoustic fields on particles. Acoustic radiation is an acoustophoretic phenomenon, that is, the movement of objects by sound. One interesting example of this force in action is the acoustic particle levitation discussed in this previous blog post. Today, we shall examine the nature of this force and show how it can be computed using COMSOL Multiphysics.

U.S. Honors an Old Friend
Published: July 30, 2002
WASHINGTON, July 29— Paul-Yves-Roch-Gilbert du Motier was well on his way to becoming an honorary American citizen this month when historians noted that his name was being rendered too short. So Congress made things right by tacking ''Marie-Joseph'' to the beginning of it, fully identifying the man George Washington called simply ''my dear Marqs.''
More than 220 years after he helped defeat Cornwallis at Yorktown, Congress has decided to grant honorary citizenship to the Marquis de Lafayette. President Bush's signature is expected soon, which will make Lafayette only the sixth person to receive the distinction, following Winston Churchill, Mother Teresa, Raoul Wallenberg, William Penn and Penn's wife, Hannah.
It was Senator John W. Warner, Republican of Virginia, who proposed adding Lafayette to that list, at the suggestion of a constituent. The Senate passed the measure last week, acting quickly after adoption by the House.
Mr. Warner said Lafayette's story was a reminder that the United States should not turn its back on friends.
''In his time of greatest need, when the Austrians imprisoned him for his supposed involvement in the fall of the French monarchy, the U.S. did not acknowledge Lafayette as a United States citizen despite his cries for help,'' Mr. Warner said. ''Now more than ever, it is important to remember who our friends are in the world as we try to create a coalition against terror.''

I knew you would do this Jeff. You are a fanboy through and through. I knew you would give Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe a stellar review in comparison to your shallow, biased, and uneducated review of Soul Calibur 4.
My complaint is that you unfairly judged SC4 based on "dull set of single player modes" yet, you completely IGNORE the fact that MK vs. DC has LESS single player modes.
In MKvsDC you have, Story, Arcade, Kombo Challenge, and Practice. In SC4 you have, Story, Arcade, Tower, Practice. As well as a robust create a character mode.
MK vs. DC's story mode is significantly better than Soul Calibur 4's because MKvDC has developed cutscenes and is much lengthier. That is true.
Arcade mode is practically the same either way.
Practice Mode options in MK vs DC PALE in comparison to the options you get in Soul Calibur 4. At least in SC4 you can record a set number of moves and have the training dummy do them to practice certain reactions.
Now Im going to compare 2 different modes of the game, Kombat Challenge and Tower of Souls. Kombat Challenge is 10 kombos that you can do per character. Which can take a different amount of time based on varying skill levels between players. On the other hand Tower of Souls has 50 floors down AND up. Based on the time alone it takes to complete these, I would figure it gives more play time than MK's Kombo Challenge, but then again, it varies on skill level.
And on top of ALL that, Soul Calibur even has a robust create a character mode! MKvsDC DOESNT EVEN HAVE DIFFERENT COSTUMES FOR EACH CHARACTER!!!
Yet, as you say in your Soul Calibur 4 review you gave it negative marks based on "a dull set of single-player modes". I ask, what is the difference between the two games in this regard? MKvsDC has a more robust storyline? Give me a break, fanboy.
The one thing I can give you credit for is that you don't judge the game based on fighting mechanics, you leave them for what they are.
Im dissapointed in you, Jeff. Though you dont care. I'll continue to listen to the podcast because your a funny guy. But I'll get my fighting game reviews from 1UP and tell everyone I know to stop listening to your fighting game reviews. Because you obviously can't judge each one fairly.
I knew you would do this Jeff. You are a fanboy through and through. I knew you would give Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe a stellar review in comparison to your shallow, biased, and uneducated review of Soul Calibur 4.

Far more Christian than Muslim migrants worldwide
Christians far outnumber Muslims as migrants around the world, including in the European Union where debates about immigration usually focus on new Muslim arrivals, according to a new study issued on Thursday.
March 10, 2012 5:22 by Reuters
Of the world's 214 million people who have moved from their home country to live in another, about 106 million (49 percent) are Christians while around 60 million (27 percent) are Muslims, the study by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life said.
Only 3.6 million Jews around the world have moved across international borders, the study said, but that is 25 percent of the world's Jewish population, by far the highest proportion on the move of any faith group.
"Many experts think that, on the whole, economic opportunities – better jobs and higher wages – have been the single biggest driver of international migration," it said.
"At the same time, religion remains a factor in some people's decisions to leave their countries of birth and their choices of where to go."
The study defined migrants as people living in another country in 2010 for over a year, including estimates of illegal immigrants and long-term refugees including Palestinians and their descendants.
"Perhaps contrary to popular perception, … Christian immigrants outnumber Muslim immigrants in the European Union as a whole," the report said, indirectly referring to far-right parties that have long campaigned against Muslim newcomers.
Of the 47 million migrants in the EU, 26 million (56 percent) are Christians, double the 13 million Muslim migrants, who make up only 27 percent of the total, it said.
The gap narrows when intra-EU migration – for example, Christian Greeks to Germany or French-born Muslims to Britain – is excluded, but Christians migrating from outside the EU still outnumber non-EU Muslim migrants by about 13 million to 12 million.
The United States is the leading destination for Christian migrants, who account for 32 million (74 percent) of its 43 million-strong foreign-born population. Two-thirds of them are from Latin America.
"The United States has received about as many immigrants from Mexico alone (more than 12 million, including both legal immigrants and unauthorised ones) as any other nation has received from all sources combined," the study said.
The US is also the world's top destination for Buddhists, many from Vietnam. "About five percent of US immigrants are Muslims, a much lower share than in Europe," it added.
Saudi Arabia is the top destination for Muslim migrants, mostly workers from other Arab countries, the Indian subcontinent, Indonesia and the Philippines.
While nearly half of all Muslim migrants come from the Asia-Pacific region, the largest single group – over five million – is made up of migrants and their descendants from the Palestinian territories, the study said.
Israel takes in the most Jewish migrants, many of them from Russia and Ukraine, followed far behind by the US, Canada and Australia.
The United Nations estimates that about three percent of the world's population are migrants.
"If the world's 214 million international migrants were counted as one nation, they would constitute the fifth most populous country on the globe, just behind Indonesia and ahead of Brazil," the study said. (Reporting by Tom Heneghan; editing by Tim Pearce)

06/02/15: In an interview with Hannes Huster from GoldSeek.com, Joe Foster opines on the current state of gold, how world events may influence its price, and what affect this may have on gold mining companies.

Central Bank Policy Concerns Support Gold in March
Gold reached a new high for the year of $1,285 per ounce on March 11 when the European Central Bank announced its upcoming plans, which include reducing rates on overnight bank deposits by 10 basis points to -0.4%, expanding quantitative easing to include corporate bonds in addition to sovereign bonds, and adding a new series of bank loans. Gold's gain reflects investors' worries over the financial risk and currency debasement that may come with negative rates, more printing of money, and easy credit
Consumer Price Inflation Is Worth Watching
The era of disinflation that was punctuated by the deflation of the great recession may be coming to a close. Central banks do not appear worried by the asset price inflation that easy money policies have brought to stocks, bonds, and real estate. In addition to the usual asset bubbles that inevitably burst, we might be adding an inflationary cycle in goods and services. There is a distantly familiar name for that in a low-growth world: stagflation.

"Mines are redesigned yearly if they need to be, and with the collapse of gold in 2013, we saw widespread revisions. Today, the industry is geared at a $1,100 gold price in terms of mining plans, with all-in sustaining costs for the mines at approximately $920 an ounce."
"I think eventually a rate increase will create financial risks and unintended consequences that will drive gold higher. Whether that happens in the near term or the long term is anyone's guess."
"If those deflationary concerns ever creep into the U.S. economy, I think you would see the dollar weaken and gold strengthen."
"Gold companies must create value in order to be successful, and there are several ways that a gold company does this. The most effective way is through discovery."
"[Companies] such as Barrick, Newmont, and AngloGold went through a period of conglomeration when large companies were merged together to create what we call "super-majors" and it's very hard to sustain the super major model."

"The Fed's decision was a bit of surprise to us, because we had been looking at the U.S. labor market statistics. Unemployment has been falling, and we thought that this was good enough data for the Fed, which is very data driven..."

The Shop Crane line of overhead crane systems is expanding with a new 1-ton model. The new system joins the 1/2-ton Shop Crane overhead crane system that was released in the summer of 2011.
"No more positioning cherry picker wheels beneath an object and no reason to recruit friends to help you with a job," said Andy Duschen, a racing hobbyist and Shop Crane user. "Heavy lifting in your garage turns into a one person job. I use the Shop Crane for everything from pulling engines to building log splitters."
Andy demonstrates and talks about his Shop Crane system below:
Shop Crane systems are non-industrial overhead bridge crane systems that use two parallel steel tracks, or runways, to guide a steel bridge over a work space. The bridge features a non-binding trolley that glides along the inside of the enclosed track to give complete coverage within the frame of the system. By spreading the weight of the load over the bridge and runways of the crane, moving and positioning a full 1,000 or 2,000 pound load becomes a safe and easy one-person job.
Shop Crane systems are designed to be used in residential garages or workshops. The systems excel at vehicle restoration and maintenance on farm or golf course equipment, ATVs, snowmobiles or any motor driven vehicle. Shop Crane systems maximize the amount of lift possible in standard garages.
In addition to being built for strength and versatility, Shop Crane systems are designed to be simple to install. Shop Crane systems lightweight components don't require a forklift, making the system easy to erect and assemble.
The Shop Crane systems have a number of options and accessories available, that customers can use to customize their systems:

Corps general gives order to repair Birds Point levee
Thursday, June 16, 2011
Six weeks ago, Southeast Missouri farmers watched as their levee was breached, allowing in a swollen Mississippi River to wash away their land, property and livelihoods.
So when word came Wednesday that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was preparing to "immediately" repair the Birds Point-New Madrid Floodway, they were more than pleased.
"They're doing back flips as we speak," said Mississippi County Presiding Commissioner Carlin Bennett. "It's a temporary levee, it's not a permanent fix. But we're so glad that something is finally going to be done."
While corps officials did not return repeated calls seeking confirmation, Gov. Jay Nixon announced the news late in the day. In a statement, he said that he had spoken with Maj. Gen. Michael Walsh, the commander of the corps' Mississippi Valley Division and the man who had ordered the floodway activation May 2.
Walsh told Nixon that he had given orders Wednesday to mobilize the Memphis District to rebuild the three breach points in the frontline earthen levee to a height of 51 feet, which is short of its pre-blast level of 60.5 feet. But Bennett said that's enough to offer the farmers, many who are already back at work in the fields, flood protection to keep the waters at bay.
"If the area were to flood again, it would put a lot of people out of business," Bennett said.
Nixon said Walsh's decision was "absolutely critical" for farmers in the region, who need adequate protection to proceed with planting a crop during the current growing season. Last week, Nixon wrote to Walsh to underscore the importance of quick action to provide protection for Missouri farmers along the levee to allow them to plant crops this season.
Another factor that may have influenced Walsh's decision was that the money to do the work seemed to be on its way. An amendment before the U.S. House would set aside $1 billion for the corps to repair levees throughout the country that were wrecked by the massive -- and in some places record-setting -- flooding this spring.
"I think they were much more confident knowing they were going to have the money to do it with," Bennett said.
More than half that amount, $589.5 million, would be designated at U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Emerson's request to rebuild flood-protection systems along the Mississippi River and its tributaries, which includes the Southeast Missouri levee at Birds Point.
"There's no doubt this is really big," Emerson said. "We presented to them what we wanted to have and the final analysis is that this would at least be a first down payment to restore Birds Point. It exceeded my expectations."
Corps officials haven't released a cost estimate for a temporary fix of the levee or a permanent restoration. But Bennett said the county and levee districts had made estimates of anywhere from $2 million to $4 million.
As chairwoman of the House financial services subcommittee, Emerson offered the amendment to the House Energy and Water Appropriations Act of 2012. The amendment was agreed to in the House Appropriations Committee and added to legislation which should be considered by the full House this month, Emerson said.
If approved by the House and Senate and signed by President Barack Obama, the funding would be available Oct. 1, the first day of the 2012 fiscal year. Emerson is working on a parallel track to get funding for repairs included in a potential funding measure for the current fiscal year, she said.
"I never want to say what I think the Senate's going to do," Emerson said. "But I do know with the total number of disasters we're dealing with, the general consensus is we do need to get something done."
Bennett said the Birds Point levee should be a priority and he called it the most damaged of all the systems up and down the Mississippi River. Other flood-protection systems simply called for opening gates, he said.
"Us? They blew us to kingdom come," he said.
Other public officials have asked for the federal government to put up the money to pay for costs for repairing public infrastructure damaged by flooding. Both Sen. Roy Blunt and Gov. Jay Nixon have requested the federal government pay 100 percent of the cost of fixing public infrastructure and public buildings damaged by spring flooding and the devastating Joplin tornado.

Oklahoma City Barons: Barons' 'Fab Four' closer to spending rest of the season in OKC
Will four young Edmonton Oilers stars — four potential future NHL All-Stars — play for the Oklahoma City Barons all season?
While a deadline probably is several weeks away, the next two days could be pivotal if the National Hockey League is to salvage the 2012-13 season.
Six NHL owners will meet with players on Tuesday. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and NHLPA boss Donald Fehr won't attend the meeting. On Wednesday, owners are conducting a board of governors meeting.
"It seems like it's something new every week," said Barons forward Taylor Hall, who has played in Edmonton the past two seasons. "One week there's hope. The next week there's a lot of doubt whether there's even going to be a season.
"From what I've heard it seems like we're close on some things but at the same time very far apart."
Mathematically, NHL owners and the players union don't seem that far apart. Philosophically, the divide is gigantic as the lockout approaches three months.
There's still time to salvage a shortened 50- or 62-game season. But there's growing sentiment the entire 2012-13 NHL season could be canceled like it was eight years ago.
"When there's been some optimism it's usually gone right back to the negative," said Jordan Eberle, second in the American Hockey League in scoring. "I wouldn't be surprised if it lasted all year. I just try to take my mind off it. My focus is here."
Negotiations continued through mid-February before the 2004-05 season was canceled. This time, the deadline most likely would be a lot earlier.
"It's getting down to the nitty-gritty," said Barons coach Todd Nelson. "Some decisions are going to have to be made the next couple of weeks. If they want to play a season they'll have to start playing pretty soon after New Year's. It will take some time to hammer out the details.
"Who knows what's going to happen? Right now the players here are treating it like they'll be here the whole year. The further it goes on, for obvious reasons, it doesn't look very good."
Hall, Eberle and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins are allowed to play in the AHL during the lockout because they're still in their three-year entry-level contracts.
Nugent-Hopkins was the No. 1 overall pick in 2011. Hall was the No. 1 overall pick in 2010. Eberle, a first-round pick in 2008, played in last year's NHL All-Star Game.
The other cornerstone player is rookie defenseman Justin Schultz. The former University of Wisconsin star leads the AHL in scoring.
Led by the Oilers' Fab Four, the Barons recently went eight consecutive games without losing in regulation before a loss Friday night at Houston.
"As much as I like it here (in Oklahoma City), and like playing with the guys, I want to play in the NHL," Hall said. "That's the best league in the world. We want to hone our skills against the best players in the world.
"We're having a lot of fun here. We've been playing good hockey lately. Nuge, Jordan and myself are having a lot of fun playing on a line together. But we want to be in the NHL at some point this year, playing in front of our fans."
NHL games already have been canceled through Dec. 14 as well as the Jan. 1 Winter Classic and the All-Star Game.
Two major issues are how to close a $182 million gap in the NHL Players Association's "make whole" salaries proposal in addition to how quickly to transition to a 50-50 split of hockey related revenues. Players received 57 percent in the previous contract.
"Being in Edmonton would be the best-case scenario," Eberle said. "If the season were to get started at some point it would be pretty exciting. But with the lockout, this is the next best scenario for us to be down here working together.
"This gives us a chance to develop some chemistry on and off the ice, a lot of key guys that will be in Edmonton for years to come. If we can continue to win here it's going to be fun."

Philip Rhodes' tenure at Thomas Heyward Academy has ended. He is leaving at the close of the school year after 28 years as a coach, educator and athletics director.
There's a lone car at Ridgeland-Hardeeville's track. It's raining hard. Deep puddles dot the parking lot. The sky darkens. The rain persists. The wind begins to pick up. And a solitary man runs.
Of course Brandon Lawyer is running.
The proof of Hardeeville's growth was evident May 5 as the city fire department held a ribbon-cutting to commemorate the opening of Fire Station 83 at Hilton Head Lakes.
The 6,000-square-foot facility at 1617 Lakeside Blvd.
Ridgeland-Hardeeville's boys just cracked the state soccer rankings, but that's fine with first-year coach Byron Addison.
They've grown together for three years and next month might mature into baseball champions.
Under third-year coach Matt Wilson, Step of Faith Christian's baseball team began last week 5-0.
Dianne Majeroni made her run through the rain and cold at Monday's 119th Boston Marathon.
The 44-year-old from Ridgeland, who five years ago swore off alcohol and instead became addicted to running, was among 30,000 runners in the 26.2-mile event.
If you see a perpetually smiling man wandering the new Harbour Town clubhouse on Hilton Head Island, maybe eavesdropping on a few conversations, feel free to return his smiles and continue your chat.
Tommy Schaff learned a lot recently after seeing himself on television.
Watching the Golf Channel's "Big Break The Palm Beaches FL," he critiqued his swing, remembered some of the competition's pressure shots and realized he needed a haircut.
What began as a financial investment turned into 30 years of appreciating the joys of golf and developed friendships.
The Ridgeland-Hardeeville High School football coaching staff will have a new look, but head coach Jahmaal Nelson plans to return.

Founded in 1911, Devil's Lake is the third oldest state park in Wisconsin, the largest, and the most visited.
Favorite spot. Great hike in the summer. Wear shoes with great grips as coming down the bluff can be slippery. Don't recommend bluff hike while raining or when wet. 500ft quartzite cliffs. Great beach
Good place for all out door activities with family!!picnic camping hiking and swimming in lake . No network cellphones doesn't work so decide where you want to meet if going in big groups !!
Hikers, it's easy to overlook the great trails to the east of the main park area. Be sure to find and hike in the Steinke Basin, & Uplands Trail areas. Read more
Don't plan on staying overnight. The rooms are straight out of the 80s and haven't been cleaned since then. Don't bother with lessons as most of the staff is unprofessional or sleeping on the job.
Must visit in the fall and hike the bluffs. Great views and trails. Lots of out of town visitors so bring your patience.
Excellent for winter camping. Hike around the lake. Hike all the connecting ice-age trails. Parfrey's Glenn http://www.devilslakewisconsin.com/information-center/other-natural-areas/parfreys-glen/
Awesome place in the state, especially for swimming. I recommend swimming off of the rocks though. Much funner. But be safe!
Use fun views to motivate you up East Bluff and enjoy a mostly steady decline down East Bluff Woods Trail.
Ask around for rock 8!!! Also a perfect sunset spot... It's a formed "rock sofa" on the crest of the south west bluff.
Bring your swimsuit, hiking shoes, and a picnic backpack and you'll be all set for a day of fun and adventures! This is now one of our favorite family getaways.
Stay away from south shore if your wanting to swim. Lots of seaweed appearing and swimmers itch spreading like wildfire. :(
The perfect, close, summer day get-away. Go enjoy the hiking, swimming, rock-climbing. Beautiful area. Read more
Head to Jumping Rock on the West Bluff trail along the lake. It's through the second set of trees on the path. It's really fun.
If this one isn't on your list of muse-see's, it should be. Bring/rent a kayak, and if you have kids, they will love the beach area!
Great lake to swim in, but the beach is more rock than sand. Watershoes recommended.
One of my favorite places to hike and camp. Absolutely amazing in October - the leaves are gorgeous.
7 dollars gets you park entry for an entire carload of people if you have Wisconsin plates.
Great place to hike swim and get married! Our wedding kari have been windy, but it was so unbelievably beautiful!
Don't forget to hike Parfrey's Glen....deep gorge at the end, awesome view!
Run Dances with Dirt and reward yourself at the Bell's Brewery beer tent.
Click link for local visitor guide. Be sure to reserve campsites right after the first of the year for holiday weekends Read more

Mayo Cuts Goldman, Morgan Stanley Estimates
TheStreet) -- Goldman Sachs (GS - Get Report)and Morgan Stanley (MS - Get Report) will likely report weakness in fourth quarter fixed income trading, according to a report from Calyon Securities analyst Mike Mayo. Mayo cut his fourth quarter earnings estimates on Goldman to $3.75 per share from $4.20, while chopping his Morgan Stanley projection to 40 cents per share from 61 cents. Despite weakness in rates products due to "global macro concerns and volatile markets," Mayo expects the banks to show strength investment banking.The reduced estimates bring Mayo below the average of the analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters, who are looking for 41 cents from Morgan Stanley and $4.11 from Goldman. Goldman and Morgan Stanley shares were down 0.83% and 1.30% in mid-afternoon trading Wednesday, underperforming rivals like Citigroup (C - Get Report), Bank of America (BAC - Get Report), Wells Fargo (WFC - Get Report)and JPMorgan Chase (JPM - Get Report). -- Written by Dan Freed in New York.NEW YORK (

Each week, I'll write about the sport I love, college basketball:
• The NIT Season tip-off is set. Michigan, Virginia, Kansas State and Pittsburgh are the top seeds for the event, where the winners of the preliminary rounds advance to Madison Square Garden for the semifinals on November 21, and championship game two days later.
• It has been a tough off-season for Connecticut. The school was banned from the next NCAA tournament due to APR issues. Coach Jim Calhoun was injured in a biking accident and later retired. Now guard Shabazz Napier will be out of action for the next several weeks as he recovers from surgery on his right foot to repair a stress fracture. He will be in a walking boot for a few weeks, but should be fully healed by the time practice begins on October 13. Napier played in all 34 of UConn's games last season, starting 31, and averaged 13 points, 5.8 assists, and 35 minutes per game.
• 6-8 sophomore forward Devonta Abron will be eligible to play right away at TCU after appearing in 32 games for Arkansas last season. Horned Frogs coach Trent Johnson said that the NCAA granted Abron a waiver that will make him eligible to play this season instead of having to sit out the usual one season under transfer rules. Abron left Arkansas to be closer to his home in Seagoville, Texas, which is about an hour from the TCU campus.
• I was sorry to read the report of a cheating scandal at Harvard. Top returning scorer Kyle Casey will not be back with the team this season and that is a setback for Tommy Amaker's unit. Co-captain Brandyn Curry has also been implicated in the scandal and is weighing his options for the future. Harvard made its first trip to the big dance since 1946 last season.
• When you make bad decisions, negative things happen. That was the case at Butler as junior Chrishawn Hopkins has been dismissed for violation of team rules. Hopkins was one of four returning starters from last year's squad. The 6-1 guard played in all 37 games a year ago, including 24 as a starter. He finished third on the team in scoring at 9.1 points per game.

Forum > 4.6 Mustang technical forum
small job, big problem
(1/2) > >>
I figured it was time to do the spark plugs but before starting I noticed online that people had problems with the oem plugs breaking off in the head. The advice I found was to use penetrating oil, let it soak, loosen it, let it soak more, and then take the plugs out. I was careful to do that and everything went fine except for one plug... it broke anyway.
So now I have part of a spark plug broken off inside the head. The electrode came out of the insulator so basically you can see the insulator and a hole down the center of it.
Is there any way to solve this problem WITHOUT removing the head?
This really sucks because I did what I could to prevent this and it happened anyway. Please help!
:-\ oh that sucks. I'm not really sure what to tell you to do about that one. I dont think there is another way unless you mess the contacts up for the plugs
Once you get the plug out, take a wet dry vacuum that is clean inside and attach a smaller hose to it with duct tape (use the biggest piece of scrap hose you can that will fit through the plug threads) Run the hose in until it contacts the top of the piston and try and vacuum the cylinder out. Check the vacuum for the piece that fell in and try and reassemble the plug to see if you got it all.
There are fiber optic scopes that some mechanics have, or if you have a buddy into guns, they could have one. You can then slip one of these in for a visual inspection before turning the engine over.
Good luck
I just found out there is a special tool for this exact problem on the 5.4L trucks and 4.6L mustangs. It should not let anything fall into the cylinder but the vacuum idea sounds like a good one. Thank you.
Tell us about that special tool. I may want to acquire one of those suckers.

Hi guys,
I'm very interested if anybody has some real-life feedback on it.
I'm planning to buy a new MBA + a 27" iMac. My main concern is to be able to use the iMac as an external display but I would also like the iMac to share it's connectivity and I can't figure out if it's possible or not...
Thanks for your answers.
Fortuny Sep 7, 2011 9:13 PM

Only sound seems to be 'tranferable' too according to this http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Thunderbolt/10.6/en/30822.html
Fortuny Sep 7, 2011 10:01 PM
in response to Fortuny
Forgot to mention:
Since ThunderBolt is based on DisplayPort for video- and audio-connections it can only transmit video- and audio-signals to/from a display.
Cibby Sep 12, 2011 11:26 PM
in response to Fortuny
I don't think that's correct as the new Thunderbolt displays share their FireWire and USB ports via the Thunderbolt port.
Fortuny Sep 13, 2011 4:18 AM
in response to Cibby
True for FW, USB but for Audio-/Video it is based on and mostly the same as (Mini)-DisplayPort.
And Audio and Video is the only ones transmitted when using the iMac as external display.
It's not a "docking station".
microrad Sep 17, 2011 12:39 AM
in response to Cibby
If you connect IMAC to another IMAC just only can use target display mode, target USB is not work(can't become like hub).
If you connect IMAC to Thunderbolt display you can use the monitor every thing, USB FIREWIRE CAMERA EATHERNET...), becouse it link via thunderbolt.
When you connect IMAC to IMAC although using thunderbolt, the target IMAC is still internal running system, it just share the display for other imac use.

Church offering a P.H.A.T. summer
Program for youth is a mix of religion, worship and fun
Published: Saturday, April 16, 2005 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 15, 2005 at 11:00 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Greater New Testament Church wants young people to begin associating their summer break with giving praises to God.
For a second year, the church is encouraging young Christians and non-Christians alike to gather for a P.H.A.T. weekend of fun and inspiration. The event will be held June 3-5, but registration begins this month.
With an acronym that stands for Praisin' Him All the Time, Youth Pastor Mario Cooper said attendees to this year's event can expect a full weekend that includes a concert, basketball game and a party all in the name of helping young people build a relationship with God.
"We want young people to know first and foremost that you can be saved and still have fun," he said. "The theme of our event is building a generation that will prevail because as far as the church is concerned, a lot of people have thrown this generation away.
"But we want them to know that God has not forgotten them."
In addition to all the fun, Cooper said there would be an abstinence rally that includes asking participants to make a commitment of chastity until marriage and wearing a bracelet with the word purity inscribed on it as an outward manifestation of their commitment.
"With the epidemic of HIV and AIDS we want to talk to young people about the value of abstaining from sex until God allows you to marry," he said.
Over the course of the weekend, participants will hear from the pastor of Greater New Testament Church, the Rev. L. Spenser Smith, along with guest speakers Herbert Crump, M. Lamont Cooper and Gregory Dennis.
Cooper said he hopes that the young people that attend come away with a stronger relationship with God and that the event will attract more people each summer.
