SAPPORO — Trey Hillman said that hitting home runs was not the Fighters' style. He may be right, but Fernando Seguignol sure did look stylish doing it.
Seguignol ended a series of frustration with an emotional three-run homer and the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters finally beat Chiba Lotte Marines starter Yoshihisa Naruse to win their second consecutive Pacific League Climax Series title and advance to the Japan Series with a 6-2 win over the Marines on Thursday at Sapporo Dome.
"I believed in the character of the club and making adjustments and quite honestly their love for the game, their love for each other and getting out here and doing what we have to do win for our fans," Fighters manager Trey Hillman said.
With the victory the Fighters become the PL's first back-to-back champions since the 1999-2000 Fukuoka Daiei Hawks. A win in the Japan Series would make them Japanese baseball's first back-to-back champions since the Seibu Lions won three straight titles from 1990-92.
"It's great to win at home, Nippon Ham starter Yu Darvish said. "We couldn't have come this far without the fans presence. We still have business to get done. I hope you fans come out when the games are played at Sapporo Dome in the Japan Series."
Darvish was named series MVP after getting wins in Game 1 and Game 5.
"I never imagined that I would get two wins," Darvish said.
Seguignol went 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBIs and two runs scored after going 2-for-15 in the first four games of the series. He connected for a single on the first pitch he saw from Naruse in the second, then took a 3-2 fastball for a ride into the center-field seats in the third.
"That really boosted the team and gave us the momentum," Darvish said.
Seguignol let out a yell as he watched the ball leave the field and rounded the bases pumping his fists most of the way before engulfing Darvish in a bear-hug beside the Nippon Ham dugout.
"There's one thing we all know about Seggy," Hillman said. "He cares as much as anyone does, he works as hard as anyone and eventually he's going to make an impact. He made an impact early for us tonight."
The win means Hillman, who on Sept. 8 announced his intention to leave the team after the season, will have a chance to leave Japanese baseball with back-to-back Japan Series titles.
In what could have possibly been Hillman's last game with the club, Darvish made good on the previous day's promise not to lose his manager's final game.
He was solid over 6 2/3 innings and struck out two to pick up the win. Pitching with a lead for most of the game, Darvish gave up just one run to beat Lotte for the fourth time this year.
He was lifted in the seventh and relieved by nine-game winner Ryan Glynn who had started and won Game 3.
"I couldn't give my max power at that point," Darvish said. "I had the flu and that's why I put this (tape) on my nose to breath better."
Glynn went 1 2/3 innings and was charged with a run before being relieved by Micheal Nakamura, who got the two pennant-clinching outs in the ninth.
The Fighters won the title by finally ending up on the winning side against Naruse, who was chased in the fourth after being charged with four runs in 3 1/3 innings.
Naruse had been 4-0 in four games against Nippon Ham this year. The loss was his first against a PL team in 14 decisions including the playoffs.
Nippon Ham also scored two runs off Hiroyuki Kobayashi, who relieved Naruse in the fourth.

Are you still out there?
I just have a problem as I cannot open windows in safe mode. It tells me I am missing "Windows\System32\Config\System" and I have to start Windows with the reinstall cd.
I installed the XP setup cd and followed instructions. At disk prompt I typed cd \
cd windows\system32\config
ren system system.bak
exit. I selected r for repair, the line number for the O/S, selected enter to bypass the password and at disk prompt I typed:
cd \
cd system~1\_resto~1\
the message said it could not find the file directory. I got a list of file names but nothing that said RP# or anything about restore point .

Story via NeoGAF.
From James Prior, tech writer for Rage3D, on the Beyond3D forums:
I'm hearing that PS4 GCN has 8 ACE's, each capable of running 8 CL's each. I believe Tahiti is 2 per ACE, 2 ACE's.
What are Asynchronous Compute Engines?
SourceFor use in compute applications, the Southern Islands GCN Tahiti design includes dual Asynchronous Compute Engines (ACE) for the independent scheduling and dispatch of work items, necessary for efficient multi-tasking. This allows compute workloads to operate in parallel with graphics workloads, and facilitates fast context switching so that demands by workloads that exceed concurrency abilities can be given needed resources. Despite featuring PCI-Express 3.0 which doubles interface bandwidth from 8GB/s to 16GB/s, plus support for numerous data and protocol commands, the internal dual DMA engines can push data through the bus to saturate that bandwidth.
SourceMeanwhile on the compute side, AMDs new Asynchronous Compute Engines serve as the command processors for compute operations on GCN. The principal purpose of ACEs will be to accept work and to dispatch it off to the CUs for processing. As GCN is designed to concurrently work on several tasks, there can be multiple ACEs on a GPU, with the ACEs deciding on resource allocation, context switching, and task priority. AMD has not established an immediate relationship between ACEs and the number of tasks that can be worked on concurrently, so were not sure whether theres a fixed 1:X relationship or whether its simply more efficient for the purposes of working on many tasks in parallel to have more ACEs.
One effect of having the ACEs is that GCN has a limited ability to execute tasks out of order. As we mentioned previously GCN is an in-order architecture, and the instruction stream on a wavefront cannot be reodered. However the ACEs can prioritize and reprioritize tasks, allowing tasks to be completed in a different order than theyre received. This allows GCN to free up the resources those tasks were using as early as possible rather than having the task consuming resources for an extended period of time in a nearly-finished state. This is not significantly different from how modern in-order CPUs (Atom, ARM A8, etc) handle multi-tasking.

Rumor: PS4 GPU Based On AMD's GCN 2.0 Architecture
02-28-2013 #2
That would definitely give this APU pretty long legs through a console generation. That would be an incredibly versatile design.
The surest sign that you are on the right side of a debate is when you find yourself against those who are stuck in the past. It is they whom have no future.

A Franklin board is requesting new proposals from buyers interested in the city's historic former city hall.
The Franklin Redevelopment Commission is asking $212,500 for the building at 55 W. Madison St., which has been vacant since city offices moved in 2009.
Proposals and offers are due to the city by Feb. 17 and will be reviewed by members of the commission. Members aren't restricting their search to a particular buyer. Members have said in the past that a restaurant would be a good fit for the building, especially since it is near downtown attractions such as the Artcraft Theatre.
The request for proposals does not offer any incentives from the city board. Interested buyers are asked to provide their idea for how to use the building, their offer to buy the property and any assistance they're requesting.
Two local groups expressed interest in the building when the board last asked for offers last year. One plan would have turned the former city hall into a brewery, pub and restaurant, and another was for a restaurant and some additional space for small shops.
Last June, the commission rejected two proposals for the building, including for a restaurant and a city council member's proposal to house the city court there.

After five games in three provinces over the past 10 days, the CHL Subway Super Series will be decided Thursday when Team WHL faces Russia in the finale of the six-game showdown at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre in Victoria, British Columbia.
Team WHL's 1-0 shootout win Wednesday in Vancouver gave the CHL stars an 8-7 lead in points through five games, but a regulation win by either side will decide the series. If Russia wins in a shootout, another shootout will be held to decide the series champion.
The game can be seen at 10 p.m. ET on NHL Network in the United States and Sportsnet in Canada.
Ten players who were part of Wednesday's win for Team WHL will skate in Thursday's game, including goaltender Laurent Brossoit, who stopped all 30 shots he faced in regulation and three more in the shootout.

All three options are good solid guns. A friend of mine carries am SR9c and splits time between TX and AZ so it gets exposed to all the rigors of EDC in hot climates, he loves it. Since you are a lefty, the SR9c is nice since it literally is totally ambidextrous. The M&P mag release can be switched easily to the right side in about 2 minutes and the slide release levers are on both sides. The Glock mag release is also reversible but the slide release is left side only. I like the SR series a lot, you can tell by the feel that it is well made and reasonably priced. The only negative I can say about the SR is that it has a lot of stuff sticking off it (ambi safeties etc), I prefer my carry gun to be as snag proof as possible. That is really a minor issue though and is more a case of personal preference, and if you aren't planning to carry it then it is irrelevant. Another plus with the SR is that they give you one full size and one compact mag, a similar setup is also available in the TALO edition M&P, or you can just buy the parts on your own like I did.
Bottom line: all three guns are solid choices and you can't go wrong with any of them.

that tommy ward was an excellent amateur and I guess you'll stop seeing him on Wraith cards soon, I don't think it's worth paying that much just to see him tbh though when you can just go down to one of his old amateur club Birtley's shows n see boxers like pat and luke mcomack, callum french etc. who are just as good as he was if not better and see these kids in better bouts with more over all bouts on the show.
as for akassh hussain, I believe he has gone to america to train with tim witherspoon, at the same gym as bernard hopkins. nothing against the kid fair play he's a decent boxer but I don't buy any of the hype with him, he only had about 25 amateurs, only won about half and got stopped about 4 times, he didn't set the world on fire as an amateur n he won't as a pro, he just name drops imo.
If you look at wraiths shows he's just getting the same people he had on in his shows while he was doing unlicensed for the most part and that's effectively what you're getting except you're actually getting less fights. would never go to one of his shows

I've got a 2004 Hyundai Tiburon GT V6 2.7L 172hp engine. I just got an all of a sudden loss in acceleration/power. It is a 5 speed manual, and it has no accel at all. It took me about a minute just to get to 35mph. What can the issue be? Bad spark plug?

Step 1
Combine 1 teaspoon of dish detergent with about a quart of hot water to make a gentle cleaning solution.
Step 2
Wet a soft, clean cloth with the cleaning solution. Wring the cloth out, and then use it to wipe down the stainless steel. If you look closely, you'll see that stainless steel has a slight grain. Make sure you rub with the grain when cleaning.
You can scrub away tough dirt with a nylon scrubbie if necessary, but never use anything more abrasive than this on stainless steel.
Step 3
Rinse the appliance by wetting a fresh cloth with plain hot water. Run the damp cloth over the stainless steel to rinse it, again moving with the grain.
Step 4
Dry the appliance thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Step 5
Polish the dry stainless steel with a soft cloth dampened with lemon oil or your favorite stainless steel polish. Buff the polish back off with a dry cloth to restore shine to the surface. As always, make sure you rub with the grain when buffing.
Always allow stovetops and other appliances to cool completely before cleaning, to avoid streaking.
Never clean stainless steel with abrasive cleaners or sponges, because this will create permanent scratches.
Things You'll Need
- 1 teaspoon dish detergent
1 quart hot tap water
3 to 5 soft, clean cloths or towels
Rinse water
Nylon scrubbing pad (optional)
Lemon oil or stainless steel polish

I've been wanting to try this for quite some time. I was originally inspired by the photos that Michael Helms took in this setup:
But, I didn't have the patience to build quite a rig like that. Instead I bought a kiddie pool and lined it with black plastic. I meant to take a picture of the setup, but got caught up in the cool photographic opportunities that awaited me

Magnificent use of light and reflection.
Killer shot Daniel-West
I forgot to mention how detailed this one is. The water droplets & goose bumps really to this one off! One of my favorites of all time!
Fabulous bodyscape & amazing model. I would have originally guessed a natural setting. Great Work!
Really great job on this one.
Hey, you've gone and ruined for me. Only kidding! Great shot! She does look cold though.
And another one prefect shot
Wonderful realization
I can see how you got caught up in the photographic opportunities... Captivating shot, and amazing result from such a simple setup! This deserves the award for best use of a kiddie pool! Simply lovely!
Beautiful composition Dan!
oh beautiful. and a nice story behind...
great work
still excellent and full of imagination...did not think of the kiddie pool, but a good idea...
Ya, actually target had a 10ft by 4 ft one that was just perfect for $25. Next time, I think I'll orient it so I can get some cool long reflections from the back light. But first, lol, I have to figure out how to heat the water
Connie Imboden also put a mirror at the bottom for really great effects...you should be able to use heating pads, insulated of course...when my ankle heals, I want to try these things myself...best, C
Ah....you're idea led me to water bed heaters Gotta get one of those!
And...Dakini and I did some stuff with some mirrors I bought yesterday. I'll be posting some soon. I'm not brave enough to put them in the pool yet!

Optimizing TCP Start-up Performance

Zhang, Yin; Qiu, Lili; Keshav, Srinivasan
The performance of many networking protocols is dependent on a handful of tuning parameters. However, it is not obvious how to set or adapt these parameters to optimize performance. We believe that this optimization task can benefit from passive monitoring of current network performance. In this paper, we apply this methodology for initializing TCP parameters, such as initial congestion window size and slow start threshold for short connections. We analytically derive the optimal initial parameters, and use simulations to study its effectiveness. Our innovations include: (i) derivation of optimal TCP initial parameters as a function of link characteristics; (ii) abstract a communication path as a virtual link and model cross traffic as perturbation on it; (iii) an efficient architecture for network performance discovery; (iv) a new pacing algorithm that combines leaky bucket flow control with traditional window-based flow control. Our results show this approach leads to significant performance improvement.

"This is beyond the first league!" said one delighted listener of the last night's concerto, and two virtuosos just closed the first part of the programme. "How will I ever listen to anything else?!" continued another one, while stunned audience tried to capture that elusive time creation with cameras, whose imaginative character prompted many aestheticians to claim that music is the most exalted of all the arts.
Last night, two prestigious world-known virtuosos, pianist Lovro Pogorelich and violinist Nikita Borisoglebsky, performed at University Ceremonial Hall in Zadar. Demanding and serious programme testified about the professionalism of these musicians, and perfection with which they performed Brahms', Shostakovich's and Prokofiev's work pushed them beyond mere professionals. The duo presented outstanding abilities, respectable school and, above all, subtle feeling for musical flow. Friendship between those virtuosos enhanced intimate atmosphere of chamber concert.
In the first part of the concerto, they cuddled the audience with First sonata in G-major by J. Brahms, rather demanding, but easily performed work. Barhms' energetic Scherzo from Sonata F.A.E. from composer's young age continued, and its virtuosic character is confirmed by the fact that it is composed for the leading violin virtuoso in 19th century. A combination of artists at their maximum made that movement a mighty musical delight. In the second part of the concert, musicians performed Four preludes for violin and piano by D. Shostakovich arranged by D. Tsïganov. Thirty year old violinist presented his unsurpassed technique. First sonata in f-minor by S. Prokofiev completely blended the sound of those noble instruments. In order to finish the concert in brighter atmosphere, they concluded the evening with Salut d'Amour by SirE. Elgar.
This long awaited concert concluded the 55th Musical Evenings in St Donat, and an unforgettable season with thirteen concerts realized in less than a month raised the oldest music festival in Zadar one more step higher than last year's season. We hope that the next season continues with similar musical elite and are already looking forward to the next summer.

This years' season of the Musical Evenings in St Donat approaches the last concert on the programme. This is the thirteenth consecutive concert in just a month, but the quality of concertos did not fail to rise.
This successful season will be ending with a real treat – duo which includes two world-known artists, Croatian pianist Lovro POGORELIĆ and Russian violinist Nikita BORISOGLEBSKY. Those musicians have performed on many world stages; won multiply competitions and performed on multiply festivals with the biggest musicians. Five years ago, they started to build friendly and artistic relationship thus making their performances truly emotional. Mutual understanding is more than clear. In just seven years after the graduation, young Borisoglebsky reached the highest step in violin performance; his performances regularly attract interest of many Maecenas and art lovers. Pleasantly surprised with his talent, Lovro Pogorelić said: "His energy and wholeness never stop to surprise me, no matter how many times we play together."
The excellent duo will be performing at University Ceremonial Hall in Zadar on Sunday, August 9th beginning at 9 p.m. They will present their quality with First sonata for violin and piano in G-major by J. Brahms composed after the death of composer's nephew, violinist F. Schumann. Brahms' Scherzo in c-minor, composed for one of the best violinist at that time J. Joachim,will be following the Sonata. Those brilliant sounds will be closing the first part of the concerto. Two Russian composers, D. Shostakovich and S. Prokofiev will continue in the second part with For Preludes, op. 34 and First sonata for violin and piano in f-minor.
In hands of those virtuosos, chamber music may have the biggest potential for transcendental experience. There will be a real musical spectacle on Sunday, and their performance can definitely be called cherry on top of this years' season.
Hurry to the last concert of the 55th Musical Evenings in St Donat and breathe the most beautiful art with full lungs!
Last night, Musical Evenings in St Donat welcomed one more brass quintet in the St Francis' Cloister, this time five young musicians from Belgium assembled in Eburon Brass Quintet. Simon van Hoecke and Roeland Henkens played leading parts on trumpets, Pierre Buizer and Maarten Lowel filled harmonies with French horn and trombone, and Jean Xhonneux excelled on tube.
In three years, those musicians have reached outstanding success on European musical scene. They won several highest prizes and performed on important festivals throughout Europe. Their excellent arrangements are contributing the success. Last night, five brass instruments embodied wide range of sound, from the string quartet to large symphony orchestra. That was provided by carefully chosen programme, mutual listening and great feeling for sounds. In three years of existence, those musicians have gathered a real collection of public open arrangements.
They performed works by A. Vivaldi, A. Reicha, V. Ewald, M. Marais, C. Saint-Saëns and G. Bizet. First trumpeter van Hoecke explained every piece and reason of its choosing, but the most detailed explanation was the analysis of Danse macabre by C. Saint-Saëns. Pleasant surprise was young tuba player J. Xhonneux, exceeding particularly in arrangement of Variations for bassoon and string quartet by A. Reciha. Speed, agility, dexterity and precision have left the crowd breathless, and the young virtuoso showed that each instrument has the same potential. For the end, they performed Suita from Bizet's ballet L'Arlesienne. In moments, stunned audience mesmerized with extraordinary mimicry of Brass Quintet, even sought flute on stage.
This season of Musical Evenings in St Donat successfully realized twelve concertos and we are already expecting the last concerto with two world-known soloists – pianist L. Pogorelich and violinist N. Borisoglebsky.
The 55th Musical Evenings in St Donat approaches the penultimate concert. For that occasion, the oldest music festival in Zadar will be hosting brass quintet again. Less than month ago we were enjoying Croatian brass virtuosos in Marina Dalmacija. This time, five young Belgians assembled in Eburon Brass Quintet will be performing in St Francis' Cloister.
On Tuesday, August 6th beginning at 9 p.m. Zadar will be enriched with music in performance of best Belgian brass players with multiply awards, acknowledgements and performances. Quintet contains trumpet players Simon Van Hoecke and Roeland Henkens, horn player Pierre Buizer, trombone player Maarten Lowel and tuba player Jean Xhonneux. Their biographies are swarming with honors and epithets such as "the best, the most virtuosic, and the most talented". Those young and successful musicians founded the quintet three years ago. Quintet was described by one of the best trumpeters in the world, Thierry Caens: "The many qualities of Eburon Quintet have captured the spirit of string chamber music in a brass ensemble setting. Their personality and refined originality to their music embodies the true meaning of brass playing."
Brilliant musicians are winning audiences' sympathies not just with their enviable abilities, but charismatic and dynamic performance and outstanding arrangements which by now form a real, public open collection. In Zadar, they decided to present a way to imitate orchestral sound and create a real rhapsody of sound. The best way for that are demanding compositions written by A . Vivaldi, A. Reicha, V. Ewald, M. Marais, C. Saint-Saëns and G. Bizet.
Positive ovations and critics showed that brass quintet is bingo to this years' programme of Musical Evenings. We are looking forward to one more musical spectacle in performance of top brass players. Don't miss this great opportunity!
Last night, Portuguese musicians assembled in vocal ensemble Capella Duriensis performed in monumental Church of St Francis. It is the second concert of Renaissance music on this year' Musical Evenings in St Donat and the faithful audience showed one more time true enjoyment in mystical chants and polyphonic richness of Renaissance musical creativity.
Portuguese musicians presented their diverse heritage with lovely chants in Processional Troper from Alcabaça, harmonically rich motets by P. de Gamboa, Missa de Beata Vrigine by F. de Magalhães and Lamentations by M. Cardoso and D. D. Melgás. Concert was opened with performance behind the scenes. Hidden choir was responding to soloists' responsorial chants enhancing the mystical atmosphere. Motets by P. de Gamboa, less-known Portuguese polyphony master, pointed to the unjustly neglected composers who coincidentally remained trapped in the church archives. Lamentations of two before mentioned composers are somewhat closer to the Baroque spirit, but that Renaissance-Baroque vocal combination enhanced expressivity and sentimentality of the Holy Week.
Artistic Director of the Ensemble, Jonathan Ayerst, carefully organized selected programme, beginning with hymns to the Virgin, continuing with dark psalms and ending with Easter lamentations. Thus, he created gradual enhance of expressivity of the concert. Under his direction, completely focused singers gave their maximum, constantly striving for uniformity of voices. Polyphonic alteration of the parts allowed the singers to present their abilities, thus making the enjoyment even bigger.
In less than month, Musical Evenings in St Donat have realized eleven successful concerts and in the next four days we are still expecting the last two. Tommorow, Belgian brass ensemble, Eburon Brass Quintet, will be performing in St Francis' Cloister.
This years' season of the Musical Evenings slowly approaches its end, but the last three concertos promise bright ending with top musicians and rich programme. After unusual Italian duo of alphorn and bayan, Musical Evenings are continuing with Portuguese renaissance.
On Tuesday, August 4th beginning at 9 p.m., Musical Evenings will be hosting Portuguese vocal ensemble Capella Duriensis in the St Francis' Church. The society of music enthusiasts has developed from initial prima vista reading club to excellent vocal ensemble with the title of "ambassadors" of Portuguese sacral music. In just five years, they have recorded several CDs and a set of six albums; they have represented Portugal to European Broadcasting Union and performed on many festivals thus winning the sympathies of great number of composers.
Relatively young ensemble is directed by Jonathan AYERST from Great Britain, chorister, pianist, organist and composer. After successful career as pianist, he succeeded as organist and began to study choir singing, until finally settling with Capella Duriensis. At the same time, he is completing a master's course in Psychology for Musicians at Sheffield University. Impressive musician leads an ensemble through unique path, blending and contrasting Renaissance a cappella music with medieval folksongs from Eastern and Western Europe, religious music of the Eastern Orthodox Church and the 20th and 21st century compositions.
The Secrets of Portuguese Renaissance is the title of concert on Tuesday. It indicates less-known renaissance pearls of Portuguese polyphony masters. Processional troper from Alcobaça contains sacral music by Tiago Morin with local flavor, and similar coloring can be found in F. de Magalhãe's Missa de Beata Virgine. Along with them, one more composer on their programme presents top of Portuguese polyphony, Manuel Cardoso. Between hymns from Processional troper, we will be listening to two motets written by P. de Gamboa. D. D. Melgás' Lamentações de Quinta-Feira Santa will be ending the concert.
Their repertoire is currently unique in the world, their interpretation guarantees meditative pleasure in early music permeated with Portuguese musical tradition and suitable area of the St Francis' Church will certainly magnify the event even further.

Local NFL watch: 16 players with Utah ties to participate in 2014 NFL Scouting Combine
BYU outside linebacker
6-foot-3, 244 pounds

What others are saying: "He is a jack of all trades linebacker that could theoretically thrive in any system. There is not a particular area of the game in which he struggles, and there aren't many players in this year's class who have his football intelligence. Van Noy is worthy of a selection in the middle of the first round; however, concerns over his speed may drop him down to the second day." — Inside the War Room

sky2k1, it gets overused with athletes from Utah because Utah is the place where it is most prevalent. It is important to note because it means they probably have a shorter shelf life than a 20 or 21 year old junior or redshirt sophomore, which comes into play when deciding between two similarly talented players at the same position. Brandon Weeden was (way) over-aged, but not an LDS missionary. Same with a lot of prospects that went into baseball before football.

I also noticed the over use of the "over aged" term. Funny how when these guys were playing in college, coaches liked to whine about it being an unfair advantage but now it's seen as detrimental on draft day. Could it be people see what they want to see to make the case for what they've already decided?

A project called PostRegret asks local Jews to anonymously send in their sincerest regrets of the past year or years, to be displayed during Yom Kippur services at Hillel at the University of Washington.
The confessions come in anonymously, one by one.
"I'm sorry I lied."
"I do not call my grandma as much as I should."
Robert Beiser reads them, feeling surprised and grateful at the candor of the people who wrote them. At the University of Washington Hillel, a Jewish campus organization, these submissions are coming in online and by postcard, small quiet acknowledgments of regret that Beiser and other organizers hope will become a powerful project for the Jewish High Holy Days, which begin at sundown tonight.
- Students seeking sugar daddies for tuition, rent
- Purple Heart plant bed vandalized days before Memorial Day
- Refusal in Bernie Sandersland to accept reality is really unreal
- Central District's shrinking black community wonders what's next
- All's still not smooth for Uber after its bumpy ride to Sea-Tac Airport

The project, called PostRegret, asks local Jews to anonymously send in their most sincere regrets of the past year or years. The submissions will be gathered into a display to go up on a gallery wall at Hillel shortly before Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, which begins sundown Oct. 8.
"The most impressive thing that's happened is seeing the range of people's thoughts and reflections on the year," Beiser said. "Every one that's come in was something we never expected someone to admit."
Beiser and Josh Furman, another staff member at Hillel, came up with the idea, inspired by a project called PostSecret. That project began in 2004 when a Maryland man asked people to submit anonymous postcards to him with a secret they had never shared, to be displayed for an art project.
Since then, PostSecret has become a phenomenon, with 1,000 people a week still sending postcards. The project has generated four books, traveling exhibits and a regularly updated Web site that's logged more than 183 million visitors.
Furman became a fan of the Web site and books, deeply moved and fascinated by some of the secrets. "It is hard to not feel connected" to some of the senders, and "it really makes it clear how many of us go through life holding things in," he said.
Furman and Beiser wondered if there was a way to take that idea and make it relevant to Jewish life, to create a project that would connect with younger Jews.
They thought of the High Holy Days, the 10 days that begin with Rosh Hashana, or the Jewish New Year. It's considered the most holy time in the Jewish calendar, a period of introspection when Jews are to seek forgiveness from those they've wronged and from God. At the Yom Kippur service at the end of the 10 days, Jews gather together to repent sins of the past year and start afresh.
PostRegret organizers have gotten the word out through newsletters and will be handing out blank postcards at Hillel's High Holy Day services. Several dozen submissions have already come in.
Some are very specific, talking, for example, about particular conversations with an uncle.
Others are universally relatable: "I regret moving away and not staying in touch with all my close friends." "I am sorry that I have held grudges."
Beiser said he was struck that some of the regrets might seem like simple, everyday things. But "it's something that sticks with people, holds them down as a piece of regret. That made the project impactful."
Furman likes that people will be able to read each other's transgressions and, as a community, repent and resolve to change for the better.
Yet not everyone thinks the project quite fits the High Holy Days.
The essence of repentance during this time is to admit your failings and personally seek forgiveness from the people you've hurt, said Rabbi Daniel Weiner of Temple De Hirsch Sinai in Seattle and Bellevue. Submitting a regret anonymously, and online, "diminishes the power of the traditional process of repentance," he said. "It kind of defeats the purpose."
"We in Judaism purposely avoid intermediaries for confessions because we don't want to feel absolved without confronting our mistakes and the people we've hurt," he said.
But Rabbi Daniel Brenner, director of Birthright Israel NEXT, an organization geared toward young adults, thinks the PostRegret project actually helps emphasize those interpersonal ethics at the core of Yom Kippur.
Birthright Israel NEXT is one of the PostRegret project sponsors, along with Hillel's Jconnect, which is geared toward Jews in their 20s to early 30s.
Yom Kippur services traditionally involve reciting a litany of regrets from a liturgy, but Brenner said in some communities, people used to gather in a room to ask forgiveness of each other.
The PostRegret project revives some of that personal atmosphere and feeling of connection, he says, in that people reading the admissions will be able to relate to, and feel compassion for, the writer. "You want to support them, be with them," he said.
And the project is a way for people who may not immediately feel the power of the traditional liturgy to "connect to the powerful work that the holidays take us through."

Girls living on the West Coast have known since January that spring is coming, but alas, those of you who don't live in the sunny states are battling snow storms and chilly temperatures. But, we have a fun and fashionable way to cheer you up and brighten up even the most dreary of days. Ready for it? Really? Okay, we'll spill: it's neon. So, take a look at our picture gallery to get inspiration and oh yeah, make sure to tell (and show) us how YOU wear neon.
What was your absolute favorite image? Do you wear neon or is it one of those trends you're unsure about?
PS: If you are afraid of looking like a highlighter might we offer a suggestion? Pair a small neon piece, such as shoes or a clutch, with neutrals. You'll get plenty of pop, but the look won't be overwhelming. And if even this is too bold? We like the idea of painting your nails in a bright shade, slicking on a bold lip, or adding a wash of color with eyeshadow.

New to GF
I'm new to the lucasforums, and also new to the Grim Fandango world. It's probably the only lucasarts Classic adventure game i haven't played before so I'm looking forward to picking a copy up. (for 10 bucks australian in a bargain bin!)
Anyway, I just had a question. I've been browsing through the threads and seeing lots of people having trouble running the game on WinXP without having to go through patching and playing around with settings.
Has anyone with WinXP been able to install a classic lucasarts adventure game like Grim Fandango and have it run WITHOUT any problems?
Many thanks,

Slow down for Oklahoma's school zones
A new school year is beginning and it's time to adjust your driving habits when approaching, going through and exiting a school zone.
It's also time for me to keep a promise I made years ago to a longtime school crossing guard.
Lower speeds and more traffic congestion are two certainties around schools. It's for the safety of the children as well as the adults.
Whether you live in a big city or a small community, school zones require extra attention.
A traffic officer once told me that drivers should slow down as soon as they see a school zone sign ahead, not as they pass it.
The zone is enforced from sign to sign — if you wait until you get to the first one to slow down, you won't make it.
The officer also said increasing your speed should not take place until after you pass the last sign. That's when you officially leave the zone.
Know your route; know the location of the school zones. And obey them. The results of not doing so can be very expensive ... and dangerous.
Now, the promise.
I had been writing this column less than a month when I got a call from "John."
"Every year when school starts, I see the same thing, and I have to tell 'em to 'slow down,'" he told me.
"People hurry through (school crossings), don't pay attention. ... I just hope and pray somebody don't get hurt."
John told me about several close calls he had witnessed or experienced in more than 20 years on the job near an Oklahoma City elementary school.
"Too many" close calls, he said.
His voice was somewhat shaky, but his recollection was clear and crisp. He described incidents in such detail that I easily could visualize a vehicle speeding past, hear the sound of the engine, or the squeals of the children.
John said, on many occasions, he had fallen back to a curb, pulling a child to him, when drivers did not obey school zone signs. He said he often didn't even have time to get a tag number.
He said he did pass along a word or two, however, to those who came close to hitting a child at his crossing.
He talked to the children, particularly the youngest, who came to his crossing, teaching them to wait patiently for him to give them the OK to proceed.
He told me it made his day when they thanked him and told him they would see him again the next day.
Then, he asked that I remind the motoring public to watch out for the children. I promised I would.
He never gave me his last name. I never got his phone number. He never wrote me. This was the way he wanted it. He just told me to expect the call and the chat again next year.
He did so for about the next five years. Then, the calls stopped. It was much later that I heard from a school official that a certain crossing guard had passed away.
I still miss his calls. But neither he nor his message is forgotten. It's still loud and clear, for all of us: "School's startin' again, so ... watch out for the kids."
Here's a special "thank you" in advance to all those who help our children through the school crossings.
John would be proud of you.
Enjoy your week and drive safely.

Edit Article
How to Be Absolutely Silent
This article will teach you on how to be completely silent, absolutely dead silent when doing anything, as silent as a ninja.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Listen closely to every sound you make. Be aware of your surroundings and how they will act when you come in contact with them. If you are trying to walk silently, you don't want any floorboards creaking or twigs snapping.
2Practice a lot. You must learn how to blend in with the surrounding sounds.
3Have confidence in yourself. The moment you get scared you will fail.
4Wear clothes that don't rustle. If you are sneaking around in the house and you have wood floor boards, wear two pairs of socks.
5Make sure that the person doesn't know you trying to sneak on them.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Practice on a squeaky chair. Sit on the chair then try to get up without making a sound.
- Try not to swallow saliva when too near a person as you may create a "gulping" sound, revealing your location.
- Try to breathe through your mouth because you can inhale more air with less sound and time, breathing through the nose is a lot better if you're in one place, such as hiding, because you inhale less air, thus making less sound!
- When sneaking, walk on the balls of your feet, gently putting each one down and slowly rolling your foot till it is flat.
- Don't get complacent, even after lots of practice.
- Practice sneaking up on animals. They are extremely sensitive to sounds, so if you can sneak up on a cat or dog, you know your training is almost complete.
- Try not to breathe heavily. Also, avoid panting.
- If it is impossible for you to be silent, set up or make lots of noises to distract your target, like throwing small things or turning up the air conditioning so that it is loud.
- If you feel as if you are going to reveal your location because of a sneeze, look up, pinch the bridge of your nose, and press your tongue against the roof of your mouth.
- Some people will react angrily or violently, so try not to scare anyone who you think might retaliate.
- Someone might call the police if you are stalking them.
- If you can hear yourself, then the person or animal that you are sneaking up on can hear you too, so be careful.
- The same goes for animals, make sure it's one that knows you, and won't attack you if it hears you sneaking up behind it.
- Do not do this for any crime.

Ron Howard is not a bad filmmaker, he's simply a director whose workmanlike style leads to decent, straightforward movies and never anything more. That's why Howard is completely wrong to take on Stephen King's The Dark Tower series.
The Heat Vision Blog has the details. Howard, his producing partner Brian Grazer and his longtime writer Akiva Goldsman, have scooped up the rights to the series after JJ Abrams and his company, Bad Robot, let them lapse. Their plan is audacious, to say the least: start things off with a movie and then continue the story as a television series.
I'm not going to go out and call Stephen King's seven volume magnum opus a masterpiece (it's too scattershot and messy, particularly in the final few novels, to achieve that status), but it's a compelling read, a unique combination of horror, fantasy and science fiction following Roland, the "last gunslinger," as he goes on a dimension-hopping, robot-shooting, monster-fighting quest through an apocalyptic landscape to reach the fabled Dark Tower. It's an odd series that takes the kitchen sink approach to storytelling, but has enough audacity (aka balls) to make it work.
Howard seems like a good guy (the man narrated Arrested Development for crying out loud!), but his films are pleasant at best and sleepy at worst. I don't want a pleasant Dark Tower; I want a crazy, violent, surreal, Leone-meets-Lynch-meets-Lord-of-the-Rings epic. Is Guillermo Del Toro still working on that Hobbit thing? Because he needs to be on this instead.
I also have nothing nice to say about Goldsman, who you may know as the man who churned out the scripts for those Schumacher Batman atrocities and the three-hour non-thrillers, The DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons.
I have no idea how this group is going to tackle this project. If the folks behind the mindbending Lost and the awesomely bombastic Star Trek reboot couldn't find a way to make King's dark, bizarre and wonderfully dense universe work on screen, I don't see how Howard and company will fare any better. I hate to wish ill feelings toward a project, but I kind of hope this one gets quietly shuffled away.

Volcker Is LOLkered As TruPS CDO Provision Eliminated From Rule To Avoid "Unnecessary Losses"
- Collateralized Debt Obligations
- Collateralized Loan Obligations
- Commodity Futures Trading Commission
- Comptroller of the Currency
- Consumer protection
- Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
- Federal Reserve
- fixed
- Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
- Regional Banks
- Securities and Exchange Commission
So much for the strict, evil Volcker Rule which was a "victory for regulators" and its requirement that banks dispose of TruPS CDOs. Recall a month, when it was revealed that various regional banks would need to dispose of their TruPS CDO portfolios, we posted "As First Volcker Rule Victim Emerges, Implications Could "Roil The Market"." Well, the market shall remain unroiled because last night by FDIC decree, the TruPS CDO provision was effectively stripped from the rule.
This is what came out of the FDIC last night: "Five federal agencies on Tuesday approved an interim final rule to permit banking entities to retain interests in certain collateralized debt obligations backed primarily by trust preferred securities (TruPS CDOs) from the investment prohibitions of section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, known as the Volcker rule."
In other words, the first unintended consequences of the Volcker Rule was just neutralized after the ABA and assorted banks screamed against it.
But that's not all.
As SIFMA announced today, the banks have more demands. To wit from Bloomberg:
"While we welcome the relief provided to certain holders of TruPS CDOs, we believe that regulators must address the larger problem of the inclusion of senior debt securities issued by collateralized loan obligations in the Volcker Rule's prohibitions," Securities Industry and Financial Markets Assoc. CEO Kenneth Bentsen says in statement. If not addressed, corporate borrowers may face higher credit costs, banks may endure "unnecessary losses wholly unrelated to the risk of the CLOs themselves, but rather due to the technical language of the final Volcker Rule." Sifma encourages regulators to issue guidance clarifying that banks may hold CLO debt securities.
So TruPS "fixed", and now comes the turn of the CLO exclusion. We give "regulators" 2-4 weeks before they fold on this demand as well, and soon on all other unintended Volcker consequences that the banks find cause "unnecessary losses."
One wonders: just what in the view of ABA or SIFMA are necessary losses?
From the FDIC press release
Agencies Approve Interim Final Rule Authorizing Retention of Interests in and Sponsorship of Collateralized Debt Obligations Backed Primarily by Bank-Issued Trust Preferred Securities
Five federal agencies on Tuesday approved an interim final rule to permit banking entities to retain interests in certain collateralized debt obligations backed primarily by trust preferred securities (TruPS CDOs) from the investment prohibitions of section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, known as the Volcker rule.
Under the interim final rule, the agencies permit the retention of an interest in or sponsorship of covered funds by banking entities if the following qualifications are met:
- the TruPS CDO was established, and the interest was issued, before May 19, 2010;
- the banking entity reasonably believes that the offering proceeds received by the TruPS CDO were invested primarily in Qualifying TruPS Collateral; and
- the banking entity's interest in the TruPS CDO was acquired on or before December 10, 2013, the date the agencies issued final rules implementing section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act.
The federal banking agencies on Tuesday also released a non-exclusive list of issuers that meet the requirements of the interim final rule.
The interim final rule defines Qualifying TruPS Collateral as any trust preferred security or subordinated debt instrument that was:
- issued prior to May 19, 2010, by a depository institution holding company that as of the end of any reporting period within 12 months immediately preceding the issuance of such trust preferred security or subordinated debt instrument had total consolidated assets of less than $15 billion; or
- issued prior to May 19, 2010, by a mutual holding company.
Section 171 of the Dodd-Frank Act provides for the grandfathering of trust preferred securities issued before May 19, 2010, by certain depository institution holding companies with total assets of less than $15 billion as of December 31, 2009, and by mutual holding companies established as of May 19, 2010. The TruPS CDO structure was the vehicle that gave effect to the use of trust preferred securities as a regulatory capital instrument prior to May 19, 2010, and was part of the status quo that Congress preserved with the grandfathering provision of section 171.
The interim final rule also provides clarification that the relief relating to these TruPS CDOs extends to activities of the banking entity as a sponsor or trustee for these securitizations and that banking entities may continue to act as market makers in TruPS CDOs.
The interim final rule was approved by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and the Securities and Exchange Commission, the same agencies that issued final rules to implement section 619. The agencies will accept comment on the interim final rule for 30 days following publication of the interim final rule in the Federal Register.

Once again, the bankers and financial criminals are changing the rules, keeping profits for themselves and socializing any losses onto the backs of what is left of the middle class...
< shocker >
Hedge accordingly...
"TruPS" = TRUE PoS
Not only does it describe the financial instrument, it also describes the regulators, politicians, bankers, and unwitting lackeys who are all 'in on it'.
...last night by FDIC decree, the TruPS CDO provision was effectively stripped from the rule.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) preserves and promotes public confidence in the U.S. financial system by insuring deposits in banks and thrift institutions for at least $250,000; by identifying, monitoring and addressing risks to the deposit insurance funds; by limiting the effect on the economy and the financial system when a bank or thrift institution fails; [and by decreeing that laws intended to reduce risk in the banking system, but may also reduce profit for FDIC member banks, are null and void].
The banks learned back in April of 2009 that nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, promotes public confidence like a fascist decree. Expect MOAR of the same from here on out.
"last night by decree"
"[and by decreeing that laws intended to reduce risk in the banking system, but may also reduce profit for FDIC member banks, are null and void]."
So, how is this different from Obama just deciding that he can ignore his signature piece of (S***) legislation 14 times and make changes or not implement portions of his Obamacare? Did he learn his trick from FDIC? Did the FDIC learn from Obama?
"I've got a pen, and I've got a phone." Barack Obama
His name was FRANCIS SAWYER!
Chiltonianism is not dead.
The United States of 'We're the fucking banks motherfucker and we will do what the fuck we want'
well...after all, you are the sheeple...
Eric Holder of the Just-Us department will protect us banksters although he may charge a fee occasionally called a fine. It's part of the bussiness costs for investment banksters.
It is like Catholicism....pick what parts you want to believe in.....it;s all made up anyway!
..."Leave this work on the house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews rebuild this house of God on its site. "Moreover, I issue a decree concerning what you are to do for these elders of Judah in the rebuilding of this house of God: the full cost is to be paid to these people from the royal treasury out of the taxes of the provinces beyond the River, and that without delay. "Whatever is needed, both young bulls, rams, and lambs for a burnt offering to the God of heaven, and wheat, salt, wine and anointing oil, as the priests in Jerusalem request, it is to be given to them daily without fail,…
Darius' decree was based on several mitigating factors. He wanted the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to be on his side and to bless his kids, he found the original paperwork to authorize the task in the writings of the Medes and Persians which were considered even more sacrosanct than the US Constitution, he recognized the duplicity of the kings that opposed the returning exiles, and frankly, I think he was just glad to have these guys out of his own country.
It didn't matter though, the holocost in 70ad due to the jews continued syncretism put a fork in it and with that destruction of the temple, all records proving direct lineage to any of Abraham's offspring were forever obliterated. Anyone wishing to be on either /any side of Abrahams bloodline is equally justified in doing so, as it's all been a factual matter of faith ever since.
This is not Nam Smokey there are rules. Doesn't anyone give a shit about the rules?
drug cartels own/run the banks
banks own/run the govt
why am I not surprised ?
If Warren/McCain are to be taken at their word, this should galvanize them to push forward with 21st Century Glass-Steagall. (I'm not holding my breath tho)
Well, one should be optimistic...
I'm in complete agreement with your intelligent query. Except for thinking McCain can really perform at anything. He' getting too spread and old. I do hope he comes through.
Bah! The only thing I hope he comes through is the thin crust of ice on the tidal basin.
Any bill mccain becomes involved in will be convoluted from positive intent to destructive reality, be water down to ineffective tripe or be doomed to the senate circular file outright.
Anyone want to take a crack at what TruPS CDOs are in layman's terms?
Weil comes pretty close in this month ago piece
How do these match up with Synthetic CDO perfomance with both in-house and remote assets? In yield and default or Slow pay risk? Are they allowed to reside in FDIC accounts for best treatment? What's the hedging format used?
pay no attention to the man behind the curtain...keep the masses movingh....along with the cattle and sheep....
They pass these laws to get more money for their re election campaigns.....donations go up when a business needs a rule change...
I don't begrudge anyone making money, but these guys are playing both ends of the fence and screwing any and everybody in between. This can't go on, sooner or later it's got to come crumbling down and they need to be made an example of.
Somebody call BathHouse Barry, he'll put an end to it!
So without any knowledge of these products or these rules can I take a stab that this will benefit the banks at our expense?
That is the ONLY rule that matters.
The only thing that could clean this mess that's being overlooked about the Volcker legacy: 20% overnight rates.
The volker rule is a joke. The one (and only) regulation banking needs is: no publicly traded banks. Make them have to be privately held partnerships. This makes them smaller (not too big to fail) and the senior management won't stand for crazy risky bets because it is their money that will go down the drain if it doesn't pan out.
The tyrannical and treasonous narcissists have completely taken over our governments and courts – including the US Supreme Court. Just recall what has transpired since this latest crash that began in 2007, ObamaCare "argued" by the SC as a tax when even the idiots in DC knew it was a loser due to apportionment issues in the law, Holder's criminal engagement in Fast and Furious and his refusals to prosecute TBTF Banks because, in his own words, it might crash the economy, the US Govt's furious pursuits of Snowden for exposing clear violations of Constitution / Bill of Rights yet refusing to prosecute Clapper at NSA Head for not only engaging in these tactics but then clearly lying to Congress under oath and getting caught, etc, etc. I could go on and on and on but what' the point? It's all been confirmed by now as an Empire in Decline resorting to Banana Republic tactics the likes of which the world has never before seen!
The only peaceful hope I see is one in which I have vowed to continue, unless and until, the lawlessness, theft, and outright usurpations of the Constitution and Bill of Rights by our supposed representatives and highest prosecutor in the land ceases. It involves a simple statement that everyone capable of an ounce of critical thinking should / could imploy; to wit:
Next time you are called to criminal jury duty simply state, during voire dire, that you refuse to convict irrespective of any and all evidence put forth by the state unless and until those TBTF Bank Executives, John Corzine, Eric Clapper, Holder, etal, are subjected to their duly earned day in court. When one thinks of the relative magnitude of the damage to society by the parties, Corzine/Clapper/Diamond/Holder/etal versus the poor man robbing the 7-11 for $50 it is a rather academic exercise – though I expect most academians today would choose to argue for the state – to continue to receive their state funding of course since they clearly have no conscience.
Good Luck……..
Under the new Unconstitution of the United States of Corpmerica that's ter'ist talk & you have been summarily found guilty of being a commie muslim and will be sent immediately to GITMO.
The facilitators (regulators) know they are wrong, it's just that, like Weimar 1921/2, they are unable to face the consequences of correct actions.
And in unrelated news, heroin cut with babyformula will now be cut with more heroin instead.
Keep BTFATH & Carry on
