WGME 13 reports that the Christian Civic League of Maine, whose infamous leader Michael Heath has for years led the charge against all things straying from his interpretation of the Bible, is calling for a boycott of the upcoming movie "The Da Vinci Code," which will hit theaters around the country and here in Portland on May 19th. According to WGME, Heath is concerned about the "deplorable state of movies in general."
The Code stars Tom Hanks, known as the nicest guy in Hollywood (or so we hear from Star Magazine), and some other people who seem nice enough too. What some believe is not so nice is the plot of the story, which includes the JC marrying Mary Magdalene and producing some junior JCs. Some Christians are also annoyed that the church group Opus Dei, an allegedly secretive and conservative sect, are painted as the bad guys in the movie.
The movie is based on the book of the same name by Dan Brown.
The Christian Civic League of Maine joins church officials all the way up to the Vatican who are calling for a boycott of the film.

Last month, Facebook beefed up its mobile app install ads.
While early data showed high performance numbers, much to marketers' delight, we now have hard numbers on how it performed from December 2012 to March 2013.
AdParlor collected data that not only shows how much the mobile app install ad units cost — prices are rising — but also a steady increase in click-through rates.

Sometimes in Hollywood, smart concepts and high profit margins will trump big budgets and big stars.
June kicked off with Will Smith flaming out in the critically reviled vanity project, "After Earth," (which paired him with his son, Jaden) in an effects-heavy sci-fi story under the direction of big name director M. Night Shyamalan. This past weekend, the box office was dominated by a micro-budget movie, which clobbered another pair of A-list actors.
"The Purge," from the same producer as the "Paranormal Activity" series and "Insidious," was made for just $3 million but managed to debut at #1 with $36.4 million, beating even some of the highest industry expectations. The story about a future where people are allowed to break the law for one day a year became the largest opening ever for Ethan Hawke, as Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson saw their poorly reviewed "The Internship" open at #4 with $18.1 million.
The opening was significantly higher than Hawke and producer Jason Blum's previous collaboration, "Sinister," which was released in October of last year. "The Purge" usurped last year's similarly micro-budgeted "The Devil Inside" as record holder for largest opening of an R-rated horror movie that wasn't a remake, a sequel or an adaptation.
Vaughn and Wilson were a blockbuster team in the well-reviewed R-rated comedy "Wedding Crashers." Going into the weekend, The Onion joked that "The Internship" was "poised to be the biggest comedy of 2005." With its bad reviews, bad buzz and lackluster opening, the Google-centric PG-13 comedy won't make anywhere near the $209.2 million made by "Wedding Crashers" back in (you guessed it) 2005. "One of the most conventional comedies ever filmed," wrote CraveOnline in their review. "They should have called it 'Comedy Movie: The Movie.'"
Even though this was the second weekend in a row where a smaller movie beat once-unstoppable stars, there's no reason to fear for the future of tentpole films. Both "Fast & Furious 6" and "Star Trek Into Darkness" passed the $200 million mark domestically over the weekend. "Marvel's The Avengers" follow-up "Iron Man 3" has made more than $1 billion worldwide and "Man of Steel" should have a very strong opening Friday.
After a franchise-first two-week run at the top, "Fast & Furious 6" dropped to #2 over the weekend with $19.8 million. With $202.9 million in domestic ticket sales, the movie is "fast" approaching the $209.8 million haul of "Fast Five." As of right now, "Fast & Furious 6" trails behind only "Iron Man 3" and "Oz the Great and Powerful" in 2013 domestic receipts.
Last weekend's "After Earth"-beating runner-up, "Now You See Me," dropped one spot to #3. The ensemble picture was almost tied with "Fast & Furious 6" with $19.5 million for a $61.3 million total. "After Earth" dropped 59 percent during its second weekend, a bigger second week decline than sci-fi flops "John Carter" and "Battleship," 'though not quite a high as the "Total Recall" remake. "After Earth" has no made less than $47 million domestically. Sony will no doubt be pleased with the overseas business of "After Earth," where it's made another $48.6 million thus far.
Family-friendly flick "Epic" rounded out the top five with $12.1 million for a three-week total of $81.4 million. Meanwhile, "Avengers" director Joss Whedon's passion project "Much Ado About Nothing" made $183,000 as it opened in just five theaters. That was an impressive per-theater average of $36,600, the biggest for any movie over the weekend.
Check out everything we've got on "The Purge."

Greylite: Greylisting for Qmail
Version 1.1 of Greylite, a greylisting implementation for the Qmail mail server was released a couple of days ago.
Greylite is not a patch for the mail server but resides in the Qmail chain. Greylite requires an Sqlite 3 database and Qmail running on the Tcpserver super server which listens for incoming connections and understand access restrictions like Tcpwrapper.
Greylisting involves denying all initial delivery attempts. Regular MTAs will attempt to redeliver, spammers and wormers will typically not, and this makes greylisting a useful technique for fighting spam. To avoid unnecessary delays to legitimate mail, Greylite uses a variant on this techniqe: servers that have passed the test once before are added to a whitelist and can deliver mail without restrictions in future.
The C source code of the program is available from the project homepage under the revised BSD license. In the few days since version 1.0 was released, the developers have made a number of improvements: Greylite no longer waits infinitely if the other end fails to respond but removes obsolete requests from the database.

Justino Adolfo
Update on Justino AdolfoJustino is 45 years old. He's in a common law marriage and has a 9-year-old son. He comes from the town of Chinandega. Chinandega is known as a thriving commercial area; it's a border area, which facilitates the trade in Chinandega. Justino's business is taxi services, which he has been providing for 12 years in the town of Chinandega. He has both casual and regular customers, such as company employees. He acquired his taxi cab many years ago as a result of his own efforts. He had been working abroad, and with the money he brought back he was able to purchase his taxi, which has been his and his family's livelihood. Justino has already worked with Fundación León 2000 before, and he has proven himself to be responsible with his repayments, both in terms of time and form. The challenges and hardships that the family has faced in the business are a few mechanical flaws in the engine of his taxi, which is the reason why he's requesting the loan. His dream for the future is to keep on working hard and eventually buy another taxi cab. Justino gives thanks for the help that Kiva lenders provide for underprivileged people from poor countries such as Nicaragua.
Previous Loan DetailsJustino Adolfo is a responsible man who is looking for a way to improve his income. He is very excited about this loan, which is his opportunity to get ahead with his business. He has been in the business of providing taxi service for over 13 years. He has looked for the way to improve h... More from Justino Adolfo's previous loan »
Additional Information
Fundación Leon 2000This loan is administered by Fundación Leon 2000. Fundación Leon 2000 began operations in 1993 as the first microfinance institution to serve the western part of Nicaragua, a country which continues to be one of the poorest in the western hemisphere. Fundación Leon 2000 works to further the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises through credit services and management, applying the best credit industry practices and technical expertise. Additionally, Fundación Leon manages several business and financial education programs in the community, specifically for young entrepreneurs and at-risk youth. Fundación Leon 2000's group of experienced and dedicated employees works in 7 offices in Leon, Chinandega, Chichigalpa, Somotillo, Jinotepe, El Sauce, and Nagarote and serves several thousand clients (the majority of whom are women).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Newly renovated home, built in 1898 with original wood flooring and claw foot tub are sure to make your stay right in the village of Lake Leelanau one you will always remember.

In Leland you will find the infamous Fishtown, which boasts a candy store, Cheese Shop sandwiches (which are to die for) a plethora of shopping, fishing charters, boat trips to the Manitou Islands, restaurant and even a small park for the kids. Up in the town of Leland you will find cute boutiques, grocery, family owned bar and breakfast hang out, tennis and basketball courts.
We are also about 5 miles away from another quaint town, Suttons Bay. Suttons Bay offers a movie theater, ice cream shop, several restaurants and bars, and more unique shopping.
The Sleeping Bear National Lake Shore was voted 'The Most Beautiful Place In America' by Good Morning America and is a lovely, scenic 35 mile drive form our home.
The home is fully furnished. We supply all linens, pillows, towels, paper towels, and toilet paper. The kitchen is fully equipped with a microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher, dishes and all pots and pans. We also provide a washer and dryer.

Small town Leelanau County experience and close to so many unique destinations.
This is our second year renting this house for our week long wine tour! House more than fits our needs, but what really stands out is Annie's attention to detail and quality of customer service. Any small problem or question you need is handled with a degree of professionalism not found easily these days!! We are looking forward to next years trip already!!! See you next year Annie!! Thanks Rock
We rented this house because of it's location and size. In terms of the size, it was good. We were two families traveling with small children, so there were plenty of bedrooms to accommodate our group. However, in terms of the location, we were a bit disappointed that it was right on the main drag (road 204.) The traffic was a bit noisy but the real problem was Dick's Pour House - the bar across the street. You can hear the music clearly and if it's a rowdy crowd, that might be a problem too. We were [un]lucky enough to hear a bar fight while we were there. I realize that this could be specific to our experience, and may be a rare event, nonetheless, it's worth mentioning.
The rest of the house was good in terms of amenities. The bathrooms had enough towels and the space was clean. The living room is a bit small if there is a large group, but there is a enclosed front porch area that was good for playing games, etc. and the kitchen table was good space as well.
It would have been nice if there was a fire pit in the yard, as it is big and spacious, but the yard is also on a busy corner so there is really no privacy at all.
All in all it was a decent place with a decent price and lots of flexibility in terms of renting it (most places require you to rent a week at a time in the summer) but it was just OK in terms of anything that would make it a memorable experience.
Great place to stay! House was clean, warm and perfect for a large group of friends and family to come together for food, wine and fun! Thank you Annie!!
My cousins and I stayed here for a girls weekend and we had a blast! Such a spacious house to roam and entertain. With 5 spacious bedrooms it was nice to be able to hide away and relax when you wanted to. The kitchen was fully stocked (with pots/pans and cooking utensils) so it was nice not to have to bring that stuff. The yard was huge and we were able to play games and hang out. Within walking distance to wineries and distilleries, and Dick's Pour House was right across the street, definitely a must visit! Lots of fun things to do in the area and will plan on making a return visit.
Thanks for sharing your fantastic home with us Annie! Plenty of room for multiple families/couples. Big Bedrooms and Kitchen! Great Yard for hanging out with friends/family/pets. The location was incredible. Walking distance to all the essentials: Dick's Pour House, NJ's Grocery, Wineries/Distilleries, Boat Launch, Etc. (Didn't bring the boat this trip but for sure next time). Central to anywhere you want to go in the Peninsula. Plenty of Parking. Will definitely recommend to others!
Warm Regards,
> Dan & Charlotte
We traveled to Lk. Leelanau with our family this year (parents, grandparents and siblings). This house was a perfect central location to Leelanau Pensinsula. We were within minutes of all of the wineries; 7 minutes to Leland; 7 minutes to Suttons Bay. It was a great location.
We also enjoyed the convenience of the river between the lakes for fishing with our kids. Dick's Pour House, the grocery store, the coffee shop are all convenient to have around you!
The house itself was a great size for a large family. It was clean and well kept. We had ample room and storage. The bedrooms on the main floor were perfect for our grandparents. Our kids also loved the little toy nook. Definitely a great feature!
We definitely recommend this house to others!

To his peers, Corban College choir director Matt Strauser is something of a musical pioneer.
As part of his course requirements for his D.M.A. in 2004, he was seeking a chance to direct a professional orchestra. His colleagues chose close-to-home gigs, but he enrolled in a little-known orchestral workshop in eastern Bulgaria.
There he found a renowned eastern European choir that's been performing for 50 years, a maestro who's led the choir that entire time, a country with rich musical traditions, and virtual hothouse for growing skills and friendships with talented Bulgarian musicians.
The discovery was too good to keep secret. Strauser took Corban's chamber choir to the workshop last year, and he's taking 23 vocalists again this year.
"I was looking for something that would give students a collegiate-level musical experience, while providing some close connections with people of another culture," Strauser said.
The chamber choir will leave Salem on Dec. 29 and return on Jan. 13. They'll spend the first part of their trip sightseeing and singing in another former Iron Curtain country, Czech Republic. Then they'll move on to the workshop in Varna, Bulgaria, where they'll be the only American choir performing alongside the renowned Morski Zvutsi Choir.
"Bulgarian music is really good music," Strauser said. "It's pretty, dancing, fun music. This whole workshop is a very challenging musical experience."
One Corban choir member, Tim Saffeels, will get at least an hour to direct the workshop's professional orchestra, a unique honor for an undergraduate student. On the podium, he'll lead the musicians in playing works by Mozart, Schoenberg, Corelli and Mahler.
"This is pretty huge because it really gets me experience with a professional orchestra," said Saffeels, a junior majoring in music education "It's one of those experiences where you can look back and know that God was helping you."
"A lot of people will work in music their whole life and never get an opportunity like this," Strauser added. "It's all about the study you do to get ready to direct – that's life-changing. The few moments of fear on the podium are just part of the experience."

To a medical historian, especially one who tracks the pharmaceutical industry as Jeremy Greene of Harvard does, last week's Georgetown conference, "Prescription for Conflict: Should Industry Fund Continuing Medical Education (CME)" must have seemed like a flashback.
In his conference talk, Greene gave some of the history of concerns over such industry influence. He's also published on the topic. In this article, for example, he cited Pediatrics journal editor Charles D. May, who warned in 1961:
A vicious cycle is created by a mad scramble for a share of the market: the doctor is made to feel he needs more "education" because of the prolific outpouring of strange brands but not really new drugs, produced for profit rather than to fill an essential purpose; and then the promoter offers to rescue him from confusion by a corresponding brand of "education."
And, while, Senator Chuck Grassley gets a lot of headlines today for his Senate Finance committee investigations into drug company influence on doctors and CME, we may forget the history of past Senate hearings on these issues.
From 1959-1962 Senator Estes Kefauver led historic hearings.
Then, as Greene writes, when there were implications of a firewall between the business and editorial functions of CME:
"…ample evidence of the porousness of these firewalls existed as early as 1976, sufficient to prompt a series of hearings into the subject led by Sen Gaylord Nelson (D, Wisconsin).
Despite such hearings, the influence of medical education and communication companies continued to increase throughout the 1970s and 1980s. By the early 1990s, the subject emerged again in another set of hearings–now chaired by Sen Edward Kennedy (D, Massachusetts)–provoked by increasing reports of extravagant marketing practices by the pharmaceutical industry."
He who ignores the past is doomed to repeat it.
In an interview, Greene said the '70s became a turning point.
In that clip, he used the term MEC – which stands for Medical Education Collaborative – which is an organization that provides continuing medical education.
Correction: Dr. Greene advises that it's actually MECC – for "Medical Education and Communication Company."

Shortcuts: WD:WY, WD:VOY
Welcome to the Wikidata:Wikivoyage portal for discussing integration of Wikivoyage and Wikidata. This portal homepage serves as a beginner-friendly overview of Wikidata for the Wikivoyage community.
- If you are here to learn how to contribute to efforts, please see How to help.
- If you are looking for tasks to help out with, please see the Get involved page. This is also where you'll find a list of ambassadors who work with both projects.
- For information on previous deployment phases of Wikidata for Wikivoyage, and to discuss proposals and upcoming developments, see Project discussion & development.
- Relevant documentation and related links are available at Resources.
What is Wikidata?[edit]
Wikidata is a free knowledge base that can be read and edited by both humans and machines. It does for data what Wikimedia Commons does for media files: it centralizes access to and management of structured data for the various projects that are part of the Wikimedia Foundation family. This means that similar content in different languages, mappings and links between sites, and other elements that are useful to multiple projects only need to be recorded and maintained once, rather than in each of the hundreds of projects.
Structured data also means that content can be organized and stored in a defined way, often in order to encode meaning and preserve relationships between different items. It allows machines to 'read', understand, and process information and, in doing so, opens up a lot of exciting ways for data to be used and re-used!
Wikidata will endeavour to support and provide structure for all the knowledge stored in its sister projects including Wikivoyage.
Understanding Wikidata[edit]
Instead of articles (the main type of content for most wikis), Wikidata is made up of items. Items are used to represent all the things in human knowledge, including topics, concepts, and objects. For example, the 1988 Summer Olympics, love, Elvis Presley, and gorilla are all items in Wikidata. Each item also has a unique identifier (starting with a Q prefix) and its own page in the Wikidata main namespace. For example, for the items listed above, 1988 Summer Olympics (Q8470), love (Q316), Elvis Presley (Q303) and gorilla (Q36611) are the respective item pages. These pages are where all the data for each item is added, edited, and maintained, including links to other Wikimedia project sites (these are known as sitelinks or interwiki links).
This means that when it comes to capturing and collecting Wikivoyage data, each travel destination, for example, can be linked to an item on Wikidata, which in turn would then link out to every page for, corresponding to, or about that travel destination on any other Wikimedia project via sitelinks; the item page would also list data statements with facts related to the travel destination (like "capital", "currency", etc.). For example, one such travel destination item page could be Uttar Pradesh (Q1498).
Similar to items, statement properties are referenced with unique identifiers starting with a P (instead of a Q); for example, "capital" would be represented by capital (P36).
What does this mean?[edit]
Wikidata already holds data in many languages that can be re-used on multiple sister projects, and new data is constantly being added. Wikidata also enables content in sister projects to be enriched with additional facts and information (stored as data statements on item pages).
The choice to use this data is left entirely to local communities—future changes to the wiki software will only provide an option to retrieve information from Wikidata if desired.
As mentioned above, Wikidata also offers sister projects the ability to manage sitelinks (aka as interwiki links) in one, centralized place. For all sister projects, sitelinks serve as a replacement for a previous system of interlanguage links that was used to link from a page in one language on Wikivoyage to an equivalent page in another language, for example the English Wikivoyage page on Turkey to the Vietnamese Wikivoyage page Thổ Nhĩ Kỳ. These interlanguage links used to be stored locally on each Wikivoyage page in the wikitext and maintained separately in each language so that if the name of a page changed or was moved, then pages in each language would need to have their links updated to reflect the changes. Sitelinks thereby improve upon this system by having everything stored and managed in Wikidata from an item page, in this case Turkey (Q43).
It is still possible, however, to keep the links in the wikitext and completely suppress all Wikidata links by using the magicword
{{noexternallanglinks}} if desired. The magic word also supports suppression of only specific languages, in the form of
{{noexternallanglinks:es|fr|it}} which would suppress only the Spanish, French, and Italian links.

Gastvrij en vriendelijk onthaal door Michael en zijn vrouw Anna. Doen niet moeilijk. Accomodatie is eenvoudig maar was prima voor ons. Heel goede tijd gehad.
The place was great and in a really nice area. The owner Michalis is a very nice guy who gave us very good advice where to go, eat and swim. You can do everything there, go swimming at amazing beaches or go to mountains. Michalis provided us with great wine, olive oil and raki, all produced by himself. We loved it!!!!
Lardas house von Michalis ist ein wunderbares Beispiel für das ursprüngliche Kreta.
Herzenswarme Gastgeber, eigenes Olivenöl und Wein, Aprikosenbaum vor dem Küchenfenster, schattige Plätze am Haus und ein charmantes, mediterranes und persönliches Ambiente im Inneren. Der idealer Platz, um den Westen Kretas mit allen seinen Reizen und unterschiedlichsten Stränden zu erobern.
Danke an Michalis und seine liebenswerte Frau.
We stayed one week in 'tsikalaria holiday house'. At our arrival, Michailis, Anna's husband, picked us up in Kissamos and warmly welcomed us in the house. He gave us insight about the different places to visit and made his best to make our staying in his house pleasant and comfortable. He is also a knowledgeable man who likes to discuss with guests. The house is located in a tiny village (Tsikalaria) in a nice surrounding and, sitting on top of a hill, it offers a beautful view. It is decently equipped and clean. As a suggestion, we think that it would be good to improve the functioning of the shower, even if we are aware of the scarcity of water on Crete. Anyway, we had a very nice staying in 'tsikalaria holiday house'.
Beautiful house with very nice localization. Amazing landscapes and quiet surrounding. The owner Michail is very helpful and eager for giving useful information.
nice and very private accomodation. beautiful see view. garden could be a bit more green and children focussed.
A beautiful quiet place in the middel of Creta. With a nice balcony where you can see the sun rising in the morning. You need a car to see the rest of Creta.
It was a pleasure to meet Michalis and stay at his holydayhouse. We enjoyed the time and the style of the house. If we come back to Crete, we will definitely stay at this place again!
We stayed in Kissamos for 14 days, three kids (13, 18, 20) and three adults. Kissamos was the perfect town for our group. With the car, we could visit three of the world top 10 beaches (Elafonisos, Falasserna and Balos) as well as a number of other great nature sites. The small town was charming with small restaurants with good local food. At the local travel agency they were able to arrange a great trip to the Samaria gorge as well as scuba diving.
Our hosts were very helpful and welcoming. They brought us fresh figues, tomatoes and peaches. They were helpful in planning our trips, and were interesting to talk with about old and new greek history and culture. The house was big enough for us but quite simple equipped, especially in the kitchen. The showers might need some upgrading. With two balconies, we were able to sit in the shadow at any time of day. Our best moments were on the balcony at the end of the day, just summing up the day´s events with a game of cards and a glass of local wine or beer. Please try the local microbrewery beer called LYRA, very tasty. Despite being a small town, there was a lot of traffic. The loud motorcycles were somewhat annoying, especially during the night. Altogether, our stay was very nice, and we can recommend this destination.

Dodgers move on to NLCS behind Uribe, Crawford and, yes, Kershaw
More: Monday Division Series grades | Braves should've used Kimbrel
LOS ANGELES -- Clayton Kershaw had been out of the game for 45 minutes or more when Juan Uribe swung his bat, changed the subject and sent the Dodgers to their first NL Championship Series since 2009.
And isn't that the way this crazy game goes? Decisions are made, debates are waged ... and then the game is played. And it never plays the way you think it will.
In the end, the Dodgers' decision to start Kershaw on short rest for the first time in his career was the right one, win or lose. But, man, does it ever look better following Monday night's wild 4-3 starter's pistol to what sure was looking like an all night party in Los Angeles.
"We've got the best pitcher in baseball," owner Magic Johnson was saying as 54,438 stood and roared around him while the Dodgers celebrated on the field. "And then I think Zack Greinke is right there with him.
"But you know what makes this team great is the fact that it comes from different places. You just don't know. I mean, who would have ever thought Carl Crawford would hit two home runs? And then Juan would be the one to hit the home run to win the game?
"It's coming from all over. It's not like you can say, 'Hey, this guy, I've got to shut him off' because it's coming from so many different places. That's the mark of a really good team."
There will be no harrowing flight back to Atlanta for Game 5. Instead, there will be planning for the NLCS, which will open Friday either here -- if the Pirates can win their Game 5 in St. Louis -- or in St. Louis -- if the Cardinals dump the Pirates.
Because of their bold move with Kershaw, Greinke is lined up on extra rest to start Game 1 against the Pirates or Cardinals, and Kershaw is all set for Game 2 on regular rest. And if the Dodgers must open in St. Louis, they've got Greinke and Kershaw starting on the road, which will help neutralize St. Louis' home-field advantage.
Then, Greinke and Kershaw can come back and start Games 5 and 6 ... or 6 and 7.
Plenty of folks thought the Kershaw decision reeked of desperation. If Greinke was not around, they would have been correct.
But this strategy was forged around the Kershaw-Greinke tandem all along. Those are the two starters the Dodgers hope to ride to their first World Series title since 1988. This wasn't desperation, this was swinging for the fences, the same kind of thing the Dodgers have been doing ever since new ownership took over a year ago May.
That's what the Hanley Ramirez trade was … and the monster Boston deal to acquire Adrian Gonzalez, Crawford and Josh Beckett. It's what signing Yasiel Puig for $42 million over seven years was and it's why they signed Hyun-Jin Ryu for $36 million over six years and Greinke, the big one, for $147 million over six years.
New Dodgers ownership has been swinging for the fences every chance it's gotten, and what we saw Monday night was only the latest manifestation of that.
"Sometimes you've got to do that," general manager Ned Colletti said, standing on champagne-saturated carpet in the Dodgers clubhouse. "You've got to pick your spots.
"You can't do it every day and you can't do it every time. But you've got to pick your spots, and if you've got the right people to pick the spot with, you take a shot at it.
"If not him, who? If there's anybody in baseball that you're going to ask to go on short rest and win a game, who's better than him? He's 25 years old. He's in excellent condition. He knows what he's doing."
So does Colletti. In 1984, he was a young assistant to Cubs general manager Dallas Green. He vividly recalls October that year, when the Cubs took a 2-0 lead over the Padres in what then was a best-of-five NLCS.
Rick Sutcliffe had gone 16-1 for the Cubs that summer and then whipped the Padres in Game 1.
"And we held him for the fifth game, and we got beat," Colletti said. "He could have pitched on short rest on Saturday, and we decided not to. We pushed him to Sunday, and we got beat."
Baseball: Allow your fate to be decided by one random game at your own risk.
"I learned from that," Colletti said. "I learned form Dallas Green, who was the boss then and is still a great friend, and I didn't forget.
"And I wasn't going to let that happen here. We were going to take two great chances with two great pitchers to win one game."
The Dodgers had been discussing the idea in many conversations dissecting many different scenarios ever since they emerged from Arizona's pool after clinching the NL West. Colletti conducted a final discussion with Kershaw late Sunday night after the Dodgers had taken a 2-1 Division Series lead, telling the pitcher that "you've got to take your competitiveness out of the answer, because you could have thrown tonight and if I say can you start tomorrow you'd say, 'Absolutely. I'll be here at 6 in the morning if that's what it takes to start the game.'"
Kershaw convinced the Dodgers he was ready. Actually, he had convinced catcher A.J. Ellis over dinner Saturday night after the team had returned from Atlanta. Ellis asked about this possibility, and Kershaw gave him a simple look that said, "Yeah."
Not long after Colletti collared him and Mattingly spoke with him and Kershaw headed home to get some of the last bit of his "short rest" on the eve of Game 4, bench coach Trey Hillman told Mattingly that Kershaw was "like a kid on Halloween that stole the biggest bag of candy you could ever see."
"This guy was so excited to be pitching today, and that's just special," Mattingly said. "In fact, Sandy [Koufax] is here today to see him. I thought that was great. This kid is just tremendous.
"He's tremendous."
Kershaw wound up working six innings, surrendering only two unearned runs and three hits. Ellis said his stuff was "the exact same" as it always is. If not for two exceedingly rare Adrian Gonzalez errors in the first two innings that caused Kershaw to throw an estimated 12 extra pitches, he surely would have gone seven innings.
As it was, Mattingly lifted him after six and 91 pitches with the score … and then, after Ronald Bellisario gave up a run in the seventh, Puig (leadoff double in the ninth) and Uribe (two-run homer) popped for the win.
"The thing I want to reiterate is, this is the postseason," Kershaw said. "I don't want to take it for granted. I might never get to do this again.
"So if Donnie wanted me to pitch tomorrow, I would. This is the postseason. All the other [questions], is he going to be ready, is your arm going to be tired, throw that out the window. It doesn't matter. You just go. It's a one-month sprint, and I'm looking forward to the next couple of games."
Of this, you can be sure: There will be more bold moves and big decisions. Almost maniacal now in their pursuit of a World Series title, this is what the Dodgers do.
"That's right," Magic said on the Dodgers' magical night. "That's right. That's it.
"Hey. You come here to win."

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

InfoSphere Streams is an advanced computing platform that enables user-developed applications to quickly ingest, analyze, and correlate information as it arrives from thousands of real-time sources. With InfoSphere Streams, you can analyze data in motion and can extend the value of existing systems by integrating with different applications. InfoSphere Streams can also process structured and unstructured data. It includes a set of built-in toolkits that simplify application development. These toolkits are reusable components that include operators, types, and functions. The toolkits are broadly categorized as standard toolkits, which contain generic operators, and specialized toolkits, which contain operators to handle domain-specific functions.
InfoSphere Streams can connect to InfoSphere Data Explorer
using the primitive operator
DataExplorerPush, which is
part of the IBM big data platform and one of the specialized toolkits that gets
installed with InfoSphere Streams. The
operator enables InfoSphere Streams to push data in the form of records to
InfoSphere Data Explorer using BigIndex APIs, as shown in Figure 1. The
data pushed to InfoSphere Data Explorer is indexed and used in InfoSphere
Data Explorer UIs.
Figure 1. Architecture diagram of InfoSphere
DataExplorerPush operator
What you need to know and software you need to install
This article assumes you have the following skills:
- A basic knowledge and understanding of InfoSphere Streams
infrastructure, Streams Processing Language (SPL), BigIndex APIs,
Apache ZooKeeper and InfoSphere Data Explorer:
- InfoSphere Streams
DataExplorerPushoperator is used to push data in the form of records to InfoSphere Data Explorer using BigIndex APIs.
- BigIndex uses InfoSphere Data Explorer as its data store for all content ingested through its APIs.
- ZooKeeper is used to configure a cluster
environment. BigIndex uses ZooKeeper to maintain InfoSphere
Data Explorer's configuration and contains its connection
details (
username, and
password) in the cluster.
- InfoSphere Streams
Ensure the following software is installed and available:
- InfoSphere Streams (3.0 or higher)— Installed on a
single node or on a cluster. Set the
STREAMS_INSTALLenvironment variable to the InfoSphere Streams installation directory.
- InfoSphere Data Explorer 8.2.2 or 8.2.3— Installed and running. After InfoSphere Data Explorer is installed, make sure the additional configuration is complete. After installation, you can find the additional configuration details in the ReleaseNotes.txt file. The ReleaseNotes.txt file is in the directory <DataExplorer_Install>/AppBuilder/bigindex/docs/bigindex.
- Apache ZooKeeper— Installed and running. The ZooKeeper version for each InfoSphere Data Explorer version is different. Refer to the InfoSphere Data Explorer installation guide for the detailed requirements.
- The
DataExplorerPushoperator of InfoSphere Streams uses BigIndex APIs to insert records into InfoSphere Data Explorer V8.2.2 and V8.2.3. Therefore, the respective JAR files should be accessible from the InfoSphere Streams server. If the InfoSphere Data Explorer server is not on the same node as InfoSphere Streams, copy the install-dir/AppBuilder/bigindex.zip compressed folder from the node where InfoSphere Data Explorer is installed to a location that can be accessed from InfoSphere Streams. Extract the contents of the bigindex.zip folder .
Create or update the configuration of a ZooKeeper namespace
After you install InfoSphere Data Explorer and ZooKeeper, you need to create or update the ZooKeeper namespace for InfoSphere Data Explorer with the BigIndex configuration information and the InfoSphere Data Explorer installation information.
Note: The import or load operation you are about to perform completely replaces any existing configuration in the ZooKeeper namespace.
To import or load the BigIndex entity model file into the ZooKeeper
namespace issue the ZooKeeper command:
java -jar bigindex-X.Y.Z.jar --properties-file ZooKeeper.properties --import-file
configuration.xml --export-to-screen.
For detailed steps on how to edit the configuration file and load it to the ZooKeeper namespace, refer to Create or edit the BigIndex configuration and Load the entity model file into the ZooKeeper namespace.
Pass the ZooKeeper properties file and the BigIndex entity model file to the command line utility, as shown in Listing 1.
Listing 1. Sample properties file
servers=testDep.in.ibm.com:1212 namespace=zookeeper
You can also pass the ZooKeeper properties directly instead of using the
properties file by issuing the command
java -jar bigindex-X.Y.Z.jar
-n zookeeper -s testDep.in.ibm.com:1212 -i config.xml --export-to-screen.
The example configuration file ZookeeperExampleModel.xml is in the directory <DataExplorer_Install>/bigindex/examples/bigindex for InfoSphere Data Explorer V8.2.2 or V8.2.3, as shown in Listing 2.
Note: In the following example, two entity
types are associated with different collections on the same server. To
accommodate multiple servers, define an additional
data-explorer-engine-instance and move one of the
<serves> nodes under that instead.
Listing 2. ZookeeperExampleModel of InfoSphere Data Explorer 8.2.3
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration> <data-stores> <cluster-collection-store collection-name="zookeeper-example-test-collection" name="zookeeper-example-store" total-shards="1"/> <cluster-collection-store collection-name="zookeeper-example-test-collection2" name="zookeeper-example-store2" total-shards="1"/> </data-stores> <entity-model> <!-- The store-name below should match the name you provide for the store above --> <!-- The name of the entity here should match the entity type in the example --> <entity-definition name="zk_entity_type" store-name="zookeeper-example-store" /> <entity-definition name="zk_entity_type2" store-name="zookeeper-example-store2" /> </entity-model> <data-sources> <data-explorer-engine-instance username="your-username" url="http://path-to-data-explorer-instance/
velocity.exe?v.app=api-soap&wsdl=1&use-types=true&" password="your-password" > <!-- The name here should match the name of any stores you created above --> <serves store-name="zookeeper-example-store" shard-number="1" total-shards="1"/> <serves store-name="zookeeper-example-store2" shard-number="1" total-shards="1" /> </data-explorer-engine-instance> </data-sources> </configuration>
Create or edit the BigIndex configuration
You can use the ZookeeperExampleModel.xml file to create a new entity model file. Modify the values according to the requirements and save it as config.xml. See the following list of required XML elements. For details, see the documentation in the <DataExplorer_Install>/AppBuilder/bigindex/docs/bigindex directory.>
- Edit the XML element
data-stores. Assign a
collection-nameand a
store name. You can use choose any name, for example,
- Edit the XML element
entity-model. Assign an
entity-definition nameand a
store-name. For example, the
entity-definition namecan be
Tweet. Make sure the
store-namematches the
store-nameprovided under
- Edit the XML element
data-source. Provide values for
data-explorer-engine web url,
username, and
password, as in this example:
url="http://testserver:9080/vivisimo/cgi-bin/velocity?v.app=api-soap&wsdl=1&use-types=true. Edit the
store-name. Make sure the
store-namematches the
store-nameprovided under
data-stores. Choose the
total-shardsbased on the requirements of the project and the infrastructure available.
Load the entity model file into the ZooKeeper namespace
To load the entity model, follow these steps:
- For InfoSphere Data Explorer 8.2.2 and later releases, use
- Next, you need to create or update the ZooKeeper namespace using the
config.xml file. Pass the configuration file created from the previous
section and provide the ZooKeeper port number (the default port is
2181) and server name. Issue the command
java -jar bigindex-X.Y.Z.jar -n zookeeper -s testDep.in.ibm.com:1212 -i ~/config.xml
- -n: Refers to the Zookeeper namespace.
- -s: Refers to the host and port of the ZooKeeper server.
- -i: Refers to the configuration file.
Note: The following parameters are required by the InfoSphere Streams operator:
- The
entity-definitionname under the
entity-modelfrom the config.xml file needs to be passed to the InfoSphere Streams
- The
zookeeperNamespaceis passed to the Java™ command in the load model step. In this example, it is
zookeeper. Make a note of
ZookeeperEndpoints, which are the host and port of the ZooKeeper server. In this example, the host is
testDep.in.ibm.comand the port is 1212.
java -jar bigindex-X.Y.Z.jar -n zookeeper -s testDep.in.ibm.com:1212 -i ~/config.xml
Run a sample InfoSphere Streams application using the
DataExplorerPush operator
This sample application demonstrates how to use InfoSphere Streams
DataExplorerPush operator to push data to InfoSphere Data
- Set the
STREAMS_INSTALLenvironment variable to the InfoSphere Streams installation directory.
- Set the
BIGSEARCH_JARenvironment variable to the location of the .jar file. For example, for InfoSphere Data Explorer 8.2.2 or 8.2.3, if the .zip file <install-dir>/AppBuilder/bigindex.zip is copied and extracted to /opt/DataExplorer/bigindex, the export command is
BIGSEARCH_JAR='/opt/DataExplorer/bigindex/lib/bigindex-x.jar. Replace x with the right version of the BigIndex .jar file.
- The
DataExplorerPushsample application can be found in the $STREAMS_INSTALL/toolkits/com.ibm.streams.bigdata/samples/DataExplorerPush directory. The contents of the directory include the Streams Programming Language (SPL) source file, the makefile, info.xml, and the subdirectories data and etc. The etc directory contains the connections.txt document.
- Using the following command, create a new directory —
sample1, for example — in your home directory and copy the
DataExplorerPushsamples to this directory.
cp -R $STREAMS_INSTALL/toolkits/com.ibm.streams.bigdata/samples/DataExplorerPush $HOME/sample1/
- Edit etc/connections.txt file with information about your connection to InfoSphere Data Explorer. Provide the ZooKeeperNamespace and ZooKeeperEndpoints.
- Edit the SPL source file. Update the
recordTypeparameter. This is the same as the
- Build the sample by running
make. By default, the sample application is compiled as a distributed application. To compile the application as a stand-alone application, run
make standalone:
- If you compiled the sample as stand-alone, use the following
command to run the sample application:
- If you compiled the sample as distributed, use the following
command to run the sample application:
streamtool submitjob DataPushExplorerMain.adl -i instancename.
- To create an InfoSphere Streams instance, use the
streamtool mkinstancecommand. For detailed instructions for creating a Streams instance, run
streamtool help.
- If you compiled the sample as stand-alone, use the following command to run the sample application:
View the results of the sample application
The Tweet.txt file in the data folder is read by the FileSource operator,
and tuples are sent to the
DataExplorerPush operator. Records are created
from these tuples on a per-tuple basis and are pushed to InfoSphere
Data Explorer. To view the indexed records in InfoSphere Data Explorer
console, follow these steps:
Note: Confirm that you have completed the additional configuration steps described in the ReleaseNotes.txt file, which is in the <DataExplorer_Install>/AppBuilder/bigindex/docs/bigindex directory. If these extra configuration steps are not performed, you cannot use the admin tool to search InfoSphere Data Explorer instances that contain BigIndex data. BigIndex data is stored in Data Explorer arenas, which are not supported in the end-user display. However, you can search one arena at a time by using the method describe in the InfoSphere Data Explorer ReleaseNotes.txt file.
- After you enable the InfoSphere Data Explorer with the workaround to search the data stored in arenas, log into the InfoSphere Data Explorer console at http://DEP_HOST:PORT/vivisimo/cgi-bin/admin.
- Select Search Collections under the administration tool on the left pane of the admin console.
Figure 2. Search collections admin tool
- Click the collection name used in the InfoSphere Streams application.
Figure 3. Names for search engine collections
- On the left pane of InfoSphere Data Explorer admin console page, click query-meta.
Figure 4. Test project with query-meta link
- Modify the URL by appending
&arena=<recordType>. In this example, because the recordType is Tweet, append
&arena=Tweetto the URL. The sample URL is similar to
http://testserver:9080/vivisimo/cgi-bin/query-meta?v%3Asources=DEP3-r6_1_1&v%3Aproject=query-meta &arena=Tweet. The result page lists all the records for the selected arena.

InfoSphere Streams can integrate with InfoSphere Data Explorer using the
InfoSphere Streams
DataExplorerPush operator. This article
describes the steps to enable the integration and it shows how to run
InfoSphere Streams samples to push data and view the results in the
InfoSphere Data Explorer web console.

" This hostel is not in Oslo. Do not arrive late and expect a simple trip to hostel. That said, once you know how to get around it's totally fine as the bus system is pretty good. This is an old building used as an adult art school when not a hostel, so I slept in an old classroom and the facilities were scattered through the building. No lockers or keys for our door. Was fun exploring the weird basement because nothing was locked. "- Lyxdeslic

My current light set-up ain't gonna cut it. I had reservations that it would, but tried it anyway. Last time I asked, I was only interested in cordless/wireless/self-contained units... That's still a preference, but no longer a deal breaker.
New requirements:
-Bright enough to play with traffic. My little 3xAAA light is fine around the block, but not on the commute.
-Able to handle the weather, so basically waterproof.
-Work out of the box, with no DIY'ing on my part.
-Durable (see above)
-Dependable (see above)
-Secure mounting. I don't want it to budge until I take it off.
-Runtime at least 2 hours on high for something with an external pack. Flashlights would consider 1.5 hours on a single cell (if possible)
Prefer US-sourced. I realize that damn near everything is imported, but from reading, domestic suppliers have better, more responsive customer service/warranty.

@rufflestilskin Welcome to the team! We need all the spriters we can get. I like your leaf lion thing.
@ Nino She looks weird. And it looks like that she is sticking her tongue out. But if you can make a vs sprite for it, do whatever you want
Also, we need to get some more maps and stuff before we even start on the Fakemon. Gym Leaders and Elite Four are fine, but all else must wait on maps and other things like tiles.
I'm a silhouette, asking every now and then
Is it over yet? Will I ever feel again?
I'm a silhouette, chasing rainbows on my own
But the more I try to move on, the more I feel alone
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home.

Montagu is recognised as one of the most outstanding climbing destinations in South Africa due to the quality and number of climbing routes available. Montagu's rock walls offer a wide variety of climbing opportunities at every level from beginner to expert. The charming town of Montagu is situated in the Klein Karoo (semi desert region) on the east side of the Langeberg mountain range 2 hours / 200km drive east of Cape Town. Montagu is well known for it's hot mineral springs as well as climbing and mountain biking.
About Montagu
Once a sleepy little Karoo town where not much happened, the town has since transformed into a vibrant energetic holiday destination. Montagu's hot springs were first documented in the late 1700's. The hot spring water comes out at 43° C from a fissure estimated to be 3km deep and is unaffected by drought. In 1877, Thomas Bain built the Cogmans Kloof pass and the tunnel that trade began to develop the area. Between 1902 and 1985 the Brink Brother's enterprises were of major significance to the town. Their activities included general dealers, bottling works, canning factory, dried fruit production and a department store. In 1936 Montagu was declared a health resort. This resulted in an influx of wealthy people purchasing holiday houses.
The Weather in Montagu
It rarely rains in Montagu (except for the occasional freak floods). When Cape Town has bad weather, Montagu normally has perfect conditions for climbing.
Driving to Montagu
From Cape Town, get onto the N1 towards Paarl. You have the choice of taking the tunnel (toll is R26.00) or driving over the pass which is very scenic and recommendable in good weather. Once on the other side of the mountain (you're now in Du Toits Kloof) keep on the N1 until you pass the Shell Ultra City. Turn right and follow the signs to Robertson and then through Ashton and then onto Montagu. Be aware of speed traps in the towns (60km zones) and sometimes in the kloof before Montagu.
Accommodation for climbers in Montagu
There is accommodation in Montagu to suite any budget and style. There are two campsites in Montagu as well as many child & pet friendly self-catering holiday rentals, bed & breakfasts and hotels.
Montagu Restaurants, Pubs & Supermarkets
There are a few supermarkets in town (e.g. Spar) and restaurants in & around Montagu.
Other Activities in Montagu
Besides the great climbing, there are many other fun things to see & do around Montagu.
Map of the Climbing Areas around Montagu
Montagu Climbing Information
The climbing is divided into a few sectors based on where you would park your car. The crags in each area are anywhere from 2 mins – 45 mins walk.

Ricardo Pacheco
"As a team, Pacheco and McArdle make a great match as equally proficient players with a knack for catchy grooves, especially on the opening tracks, "Cabbie," and "Breathe," just two of a number of strong early cuts. Culberson's drumming presence make it clear of their well-established history, but Hinson doesn't settle for backseat on "Zodiac." It's an honest and overdue debut designed for fans of the classic power trio that should carry over into the live arena with high intensity."

For people with Spinal Cord Injury and their families
Talk to your therapist & rehab supplier
Learn more about standing; first talk to your therapist or doctor and see if it is medically safe to stand. Then arrange to try an EasyStand, free of charge, and see if it is right for you. Make sure your therapist writes a letter of medical necessity that is specific to your medical needs. After the rehab supplier submits to your funding source, if the stander is denied, it is up to you to appeal. A good medical team (Supplier & Therapist) will support you with the proper documentation and/or testimony through the funding appeals process. One of the biggest mistakes a person with a disability can make is not being their own advocate. Be prepared to "be the squeaky wheel" until you get the home medical equipment you need. We can provide you with resources to help, such as the Funding Guide to Standing Technology, which has a PAAT Directory (Protection Advocacy for Assistive Technology) and State Technology Assistance Projects.
For therapists & doctors treating those with Spinal Cord Injuries
Stand up to the facts – people with SCI need to stand
As a spinal cord injury rehab professional, you are very aware of the secondary complications that arise after a spinal cord injury. Rehab facilities that incorporate standing/weight bearing see the effects of secondary complications minimized. Your clients need to start standing as soon as you determine it is medically safe. The health benefits of standing have been documented in various research studies.
Prescribing standing equipment for home & getting it funded
Your clients stand in rehab and they are standing right away. Now you need to make sure this continues at home. Prescribe a stander for each of your Spinal Cord Injury patients for home use to continue a standing program after they leave rehab. By prescribing a stander immediately after injury, you also give your patients the best chance of getting their stander paid for through insurance. Insurance companies are more likely to cover the stander or home medical equipment when it is included with the initial order for a wheelchair and other necessary rehab equipment. If you need assistance writing a letter of medical necessity, we can help. Our Funding Specialist can review your letter and offer suggestions. Read more about funding for standers or download our Funding Guide to Standing Technology.

(i'm new, i searched )
my only bike, for a long time now, was a 1999 Specialized Rockhopper FS.
i just moved into NYC, and i'm looking to invest in a faster, lighter, road-ier bike for longer rides, possible commute, transportation, etc. I want a versatile bike, and i've never been a fan of drop bars. I'd like disc brakes, too.
I've been looking at "urban" bikes - Trek Valencia (can't find one to test drive) and the Giant Seek 2 (LBS has it for $660). I've also been looking at the Bianchi Camaleonte 2 (LBS - $770) and the Specialized Sirrus Sport.
I did short test rides on the Seek2 and the Camaleonte2, and both felt good - but vastly different from what i'm used to.I'm new to this type of bike, so i don't have a frame of reference. I searched, and all these bikes had positive reviews here, but elsewhere on the internet there's not much...bikes are too new i guess. I'm looking to make a decent investment, but i'm NOT looking to blow money on a bike that's out of my league just bc it's pretty (though, i do like the Bianchi).
I went to a bunch of LBS near me, and all liked the Seek...though everyone kinda scoffed at the whole "urban" bike thing.
The latest one recommended the Camaleonte. I was told that the components were all better than the Seek (though they're listed as "mountain" components on Shimano's site), and that the $100 difference in price would be justified by the pedals and integrated bar ends alone. He also said i'd prefer the Bianchi's mechanical disk brakes over the Seek's hydraulic, since the mechanical are easier to work on. Though the guy seemed to know his stuff, I'm worried that i'm being upsold.
Another thing: I took a look at the Trek 7.x's. I was told that the 7.2 and the 7.3 are about the same. i checked out the 7.5, but it's a bit out of my price range.
If you got this far, thanks for reading.
So, any opinions or guidance you can give would be greatly appreciated.
