Banned because you went to Temporal Tower and found a Monster House...

Electivire: (TRANSLATED) Nope, not at all.
Me: What? Seriously? Oh! Temporal Tower! Strange...I didn't think I entered the Hidden Land. I guess that's where I should go to hide...and I have to stop them from taking Dialga's Diamond! It can stop time forever!
... ... ...
Magmortar: (TRANSLATED) Huff...puff...Did you get him?
Electivire: (TRANSLATED) Uh, no...He ran away to the Temporal Tower. And I was waiting you for half an hour! What kept you so long?
Magmortar: (TRANSLATED) Huff...There was this Shadow Pokemon...and I just had to take him down.
Electivire: (TRANSLATED) Because of you, he's gone deep inside! I'll say that he's already down to Temporal Spire! Wait, what? A Shadow Pokemon? I thought Cipher's been beat!
Magmortar: (TRANSLATED) Puff...Was I wrong? For sure, it had wings...and it looked like a centipede...
Electivire: (TRANSLATED) Hey, that's Giratina! He was flying to Temporal Tower, right? He must be looking for his relative, Dialga!

Wikia, known by many as the for-profit branch of Wikipedia, announced after market trading on October 12 the replacement of its CEO Gil Penchina with Craig Palmer, the former chief of Sony-owned Gracenote. Co-founded in 2004 by the lesser co-founder of Wikipedia as an attempt to "commercialize the hell" out of the world's most unaccountable encyclopedia, Wikia has been struggling the past two years to gain audience. According to Alexa.com, Wikia began 2010 as the 210th most popular website in the world. It is currently stuck in practically the same position, ranking 213th in popularity this week.
Penchina's time at the helm of Wikia, Inc. was marred with several mishaps. There was the embarrassing hosting of a "squirtage" wiki. There was the infamous and utter failure of Wikia Search to be the "Google Killer" it was touted to be. Co-founder Jimmy Wales had even told a reporter that they were still "cranking away" on the project, mere days before it would be shut down and its employees fired. (Examiner reported that Wales owes Penchina a personal loan of $30,000.) More recently, there was a large insurrection of several Wikia communities to take their content from Wikia to sites that wouldn't load obnoxious advertising throughout their volunteered work. One reputation analyst had sagely predicted in July 2010 that Penchina would not last until 2013 at Wikia, a prediction made true over a year ahead of its deadline.
Jimmy Wales frequently notes that if Wikipedia is the set of encyclopedias in the library, then Wikia is "the rest of the library". As recently as September 2006, eighty percent of the Wikimedia Foundation board of trustees seats were dedicated to high-ranking Wikia employees and a co-founder of Bomis.com, Jimmy Wales' prior business venture. Embedded throughout Wikipedia are over 28,000 web links that point directly to Wikia.com pages, which is one way to "commercialize the hell" out of Wikipedia. It is interesting, then, to look at how Wikia's older sister project Wikipedia portrays Wikia's new CEO. While Wikipedia doesn't have a biography (yet) about Craig Palmer, there is an extensive article that discusses the Gracenote licensing controversy that erupted a couple of years prior to Palmer's arrival at the music classification company. There is some logic that in May 2011 Palmer quietly left a company that had capitalized heavily on the freely-authored contributions of countless volunteers, only to land in October 2011 at a company that similarly exploits the willing crowdsourcing efforts of volunteers who don't care (or perhaps don't understand) that their donations of content financially benefit only the 125 or so employees and investors in Wikia, Inc.
Why does Wikipedia focus so obsessively on Gracenote's supposed "controversy" over licensing? Steve Scherf, the Co-Founder and Chief Architect of Gracenote thinks that they:
...may be confusing [the CD database's server source code] with the *data*, which is another story altogether. The facts there are also not in dispute, to those who bother to check into them. Most folks don't bother. They'd just rather gripe.
Along with Palmer, a new SVP of Marketing is joining Wikia. Jennifer Betka has previous experience with several firms that have flirted with failure or bankrupcy, such as America Online, Veoh, Sirius XM, and the Los Angeles Times. Here is Betka discussing how her cape breaks the wind.
Good luck, Wikia.

Inflation, Prices, and Information in Competitive Search
Citation Information: Advances in Macroeconomics. Volume 6, Issue 1, Pages 1–34, ISSN (Online) 1534-6013, DOI: 10.2202/1534-6013.1313, September 2006

We study the effects of inflation in a competitive search model where each buyer's utility is private information, and money is essential. The equilibrium is efficient at the Friedman rule, but inflation creates an inefficiency in the terms of trade. Buyers experience a preference shock after they are matched with a seller, and thus they have a precautionary motive for holding money. Sellers, who compete to attract buyers, post non-linear price schedules. As inflation rises, sellers post relatively flat price schedules, which reduce the need for precautionary balances. These price schedules induce buyers with a low desire to consume to purchase inefficiently high quantities because of the low marginal cost of purchasing goods. In contrast, buyers with a high desire to consume purchase inefficiently low quantities as they face binding liquidity constraints. The model fits historical US data on velocity and interest rates.
Keywords: inflation; precautionary money demand; competitive search; private information

text: NEW DELHI: Can one man's loss be the same man's gain? That's what seems to have happened in the case of Aam Aadmi Party leader Kumar Vishwas, after his humiliating loss to Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi in the Lok Sabha elections earlier this year when he even lost his security deposit. While his party is still picking up the pieces since its electoral drubbing in Lok Sabha polls, the poet-turned-politician seems to have turned into a celebrity much in demand, thanks to the recall value he gained by taking on Gandhi in Amethi.

Instant remixing tips
Use MIDI notes to alter the harmony of
recorded audio in real time.
Zynaptiq Pitchmap is a mind-blowing audio
processing plug-in that lets you transpose
polyphonic audio, and even adjust individual
notes within it. It can be used in many different
ways, including pitch correction of individual
notes within mixed music, as well as global
transposition, but here I'm going to show you
how to use it along with a MIDI controller to
alter the chords of a stereo mix, to do a real-time
remix. I'll be showing you in Pro Tools 11, but
any professional-level DAW will work for this.
You could also use this same technique to change
other polyphonic or monophonic music tracks.
When setting up the following step-by-step
example, match the settings for Pitchmap's
parameters to what's shown in the screen shot
of Step 2. This setting is for the most naturalsounding
pitch shift.
Note that the way that Pitchmap's pitch
mapping works, it will map each note to the
closest pitch in the target scale, so you won't
always get the same chord inversions as there
are in the source audio.
■ Another cool way to use
Pitchmap is by dialing in presets
from its other categories: Special
Effects, Tuning and Chord
Changes, and Mixing. With these
you don't need MIDI input from
your controller or a separate MIDI
track. Just insert Pitchmap on
the source track, dial in a preset,
hit Play, and check out the (often
wild) results.

Bad News Is Bad News Again
We explained last week why the initial exuberance from QEternity was likely to fade since it basically removed all suspense from futures FOMC announcements - i.e. that bad news would once again become bad news as opposed to bad news stoking the hopes or more-er QE. Well this morning's bad news - to wit: China PMI, Europe PMI, and US initial claims - has indeed had a detrimental impact on S&P futures as they approach fresh post-FOMC lows.
S&P 500 futures face quite a cliff here...
Charts: Bloomberg

Thanks ...I can enjoy my shorts for the next 2 weeks
oil under $92.....how long before the peak oilers return and tell us this isn't about manipulation of price, but a fifty year old story about running out of oil? don't talk that book...don't talk that book
I think I can speak for most everyone
WTF are you talking about?
Can you at least make an effort to keep it Germain?
Am I to assume that you think world oil production will rise indefinitely? Do you think the net energy from oil extraction is getting better?
Indeed unlimited,because crude isn't fossill and peak oil with the related CO2 story a hoax.
I think you meant you can enjoy your shorts for the next 2 HOURS - heeeeeerrrrre comes swifty, right on schedule..............
you forget, you're shorting the coldest, most bloodthirsty and desperate cretins in the history of "finance"
Sniff sniff- I smell 13000.
For WHOM you idiots?????!!!!
Please just crash. I don't have the patience to deal with this shit for another 4 years.
Yeah, I wish QE stood for 'Quick Ending'...
Long $AAPL. BTFD!!!!!
<------Send in the drones
<------go golfing.
The U.S embassy in Pakistan is under siege. It's nice to see we are loved throught the world. Obama will....
Time to give them a good droning, teach them some manners.
I wanted to get my own drone (http://www.nitroplanes.com/projet-drone-2500mm-kit.html) but they were all sold out.
US embassy in Pakistan is CIA Central. Theres another one, in Peshawar, right in the heart of the shit storm.
For those who didnt know, a CIA safe house was also on the same road as Osama's alleged compound, along with Pakistan military academy.
... and Al-qada safe house is the rest of Pakistan .
Will any embassy damages be paid by the Direct Overt U.S. Aid Appropriations and Military Reimbursements to Pakistan fund?
Which is ironic, because this paper says that U.S Taxpayers have been funding Pakistani corruption.
DroneGolfer 2000™ - Coming this Christmas in stores Nationwide
Yawn, the FOMC already threw all their cards on the table. No more surprises.
The FOMC can talk about Jackson Hole and their golf games.
It's called the Quadwitching rinse cycle !
and then Wash, rinse & repeat.........then......
I certainly would like Sept 20th to be the day I can stop banging my head on the keyboard.
Bad bad news is now bad news again or is it bad good news is bad news again or is it good bad news is bad news again? Fuck it...drunk again tonight.
Diageo (DEO) is bucking the trend and is up today. So there's your answer: Go get drunk!
Off topic - was looking at an old ZH post and found this;Thu, 12/09/2010 - 11:08 | jimgcpa
Gold mania will pop in the first quarter of 2011. All you idiots who can't get enough at $1400 will be puking it up for $1175 very shortly.
Gold mania will have a correction when Corporations are scared about Gold mania. Circular but I believe it will be true. Gold mania ==> scares corporations and rich into dishoarding their ~dollars~ (help with yield curve manipulation by the Fed) and get them into spending or into capex despite low rerturn==> increase circulation and nominal wages ==> removes the incentives to print ==> sharp knee-jerk sell-off in Gold. ==>Ben has stopped printing because inflation rain is coming on dry land, people realize that inflation is forcing even more dishoarding which is feeding more inflation so people buy back Gold to ~protect against inflation~ ( whatever BS,it is true because it is true, circular as well), gets into parabolic upward move while GDP is printing 4% and inflation at 5% sell because not threat of Gov bond collapse or deflationary turning into hyperinflation.
Looks like the shorts are back for another beating. Mr. Bad News...Mr B...He's biting me!
Interesting ...
Now that the fed has shot its wad, where do the next funds to price-in come from?
The political pimps better find a new john for the financial whores quick!
Markets are acting kind of sane....BLACK SWAN
Looks like the effects of the enemas from the QEouches are losing their duration and potency.
what about decreasing IOER? The suspense is killing me and I await with baited breath!
Stop paying the Banks Billions a year not to lend what are ya kidding me
Federal Reserve policies favor the rich
LOL. Bonds in the 401K. Silver at the bottom of the lake. To think Bloomberg almost brainwashed me into buying stocks last week. Glad I sat on my hands and didn't fall for the MOPE. What almost pushed me over the edge was Marc Faber saying equities were better for inflation.
We are Opening Our ES vs CL Compression Trade once again:
Short December ES 1450 and Long December CL $92.50
So the new shelf life for QExuberance is about a week or less.... OK, got it!
At this rate, will need weekly reminders of QEternity to keep the market moving sideways.

Government inspectors are checking food makers who use protein concentrates to make sure none of the contaminated protein concentrates to make sure none of the contaminated products found in pet foods have reached other products, the FDA said.
The announcement came as pet food manufacturer Menu Foods expanded its recall because of possible cross-contamination between melamine-tainted products and other foods made in the same period.
More than 100 brands of pet food have been recalled since March 16 because they were contaminated with melamine. An unknown number of dogs and cats have been sickened or died after eating chemical-laced pet food.
A list of the newly recalled products is available in this release from Menu Foods. A complete list of the recalled products along with product codes, descriptions and production dates is available here. Here are answers to consumer questions regarding the recall.
Q: What brands and types of pet food are being recalled?
A: The recall of tainted pet foods has been slowly expanding for more than a month. Initially just wet and canned foods were on the list. Now at least one dry cat food and several treats for both cats and dogs have been added.
Check the FDA Web site for the full list of recalled brands.
Menu Foods, a major manufacturer of more than 100 store- and major-brand pet foods, announced the first recall March 16. The company has since expanded its original recall to include a broader range of dates and varieties. At least five other companies have also announced recalls of foods and treats made with the contaminated ingredient.
How many animals have been affected?
The number of confirmed pet deaths remains at roughly 15, although anecdotal reports suggest hundreds of pets may have died. Cats appear to have been especially susceptible to the contamination.
Are humans at risk?
The ingredient's importer says none of the contaminated wheat gluten went to manufacturers of food for humans.
Q: What should I do if I have some of this pet food in my cupboard?
A: The FDA says stop feeding it to your pet. Many of the major store chains are also granting refunds for returned food.
Q. How do I know if my pet is sick as a result of eating contaminated food? What are the symptoms?
A: Signs of kidney failure include loss of appetite, lethargy and vomiting.
Q. What should I do if I already gave some of this food to my pet? Do I need to take my pet to a doctor?
A: It's best to seek advice from a veterinarian in such situations, according to the FDA.
Q. Who can I call with questions?
A: Menu Foods has a consumer hot line at 1-866-463-6738 and 1-866-895-2708. The FDA is asking those with sick or dead pets to call FDA state complaint coordinators. A list of contacts for such coordinators is available at http://www.fda.gov/opacom/backgrounders/complain.html.

This study presents a graph-theoretical modelling approach using daily movements and habitat demands of different target bird species in an urban context to assess: 1) habitable land cover types, 2) threshold distances between patches of habitat, 3) the required minimum accessible habitat areas and 4) the effects of barriers and stepping stones. The modelling approach is tested using empirical data from field surveys in the urban area of Stockholm, Sweden.
The results show that groups of small habitat patches can house the same species as larger contiguous patches as long as they are perceived as functionally connected by the inhabitant organisms. Furthermore, we found that binary habitat/non-habitat representations of the landscape could roughly explain the variation in species occurrence, as long as habitat was properly defined. However, the explanatory power of the landscape models increased when features of matrix heterogeneity such as stepping stones and barriers were accounted for.
Synthesis and application: in a world where forest ecosystems are becoming increasingly fragmented there is an urgent need to find comprehensive and scientifically relevant methods for managing and planning ecosystems. This study shows that: 1) groups of well placed small habitat patches can, together, be sufficient to attract birds in intensively developed areas, 2) the presented modelling approach can help identify such groups of patches, 3) matrix heterogeneity should preferably be accounted for, and 4) proper assessments of habitable land cover types are important. Finally, we argue that the modelling approach applied here may substantially improve landscape management and planning at scales ranging from whole landscapes down to neighbourhoods.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Trailer Explains the Gameplay
Written Monday, March 11, 2013 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
Starbreeze Studios has released a new trailer for its forthcoming Xbox Live Arcade game, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, demonstrating the central gameplay mechanic of controlling the two brothers simultaneously.
As Game Director Josef Fares explains in the video, the big brother is controlled with the left stick and left trigger buttons, while the little brother is controlled using the right-hand side of the controller. Each brother is able to perform different interactions to solve the game's puzzles and has their own personality.
Promising an emotional story, as the siblings seek to find the 'Water of Life' to cure their dying father, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is scheduled to release on the XBLA in spring 2013. Check out the trailer and new screens below to find out more.

Baseball And Bacon
Six degrees of Kevin Bacon is a popular party game where people try to link themselves to the Hollywood star. During a brainstorming session, the idea came up and all of us started laughing. We never realized that we would find not one, but four links to the Frisco RoughRiders. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Circle of Bacon.
The first chain begins with none other than Kevin Bacon. He was in A Few Good Men with Tom Cruise, which is a great movie by the way and it has a baseball tie-in because Cruise's character loves playing baseball. Back to the chain, Tom Cruise was in Interview With A Vampire with Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt was in Moneyball with Brent Jennings who was portraying Ron Washington. Ron Washington is the manager of the Texas Rangers, which is the parent club of the Frisco RoughRiders completing chain one.
The second chain begins much like the first. Kevin Bacon was in A Few Good Men with Tom Cruise who was in Interview With A Vampire with Brad Pitt. The chain changes because Brad Pitt played Billy Beane. Billy Beane played for the Jackson Mets, the Double-A affiliate of the New York Mets that were part of the Texas League, from 1982 to 1984. The Jackson Mets moved to Binghamton and joined the Eastern League in 1991. The Houston Astros took over the Double-A franchise renaming it the Jackson Generals, where the team remained until 1999. Nolan Ryan and his group took over and moved the Generals to Round Rock eventually becoming the Round Rock Express where they claimed the Texas League title in 2000. The owners of the Round Rock Express acquired the Triple-A franchise in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and moved that club to Round Rock. The Double-A version of the Round Rock Express moved to Corpus Christi eventually becoming the Corpus Christi Hooks who compete against the RoughRiders in the Texas League.
Through Corpus Christi we can complete the third chain all the way back to the original source, Kevin Bacon. Hooks' broadcaster Matt Hicks was an extra in Major League which starred Charlie Sheen. Charlie Sheen was in The Three Musketeers with Kiefer Sutherland. Kiefer Sutherland was in Flatliners with Kevin Bacon completing the circle of bacon.
Lastly, we decided to have a little fun and make another connection to the RoughRiders family. Kevin Bacon was in A Few Good Men with Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise was in Rain Man with Dustin Hoffman. Dustin Hoffman was in American Buffalo directed by Michael Corrente who shot the movie in his hometown of Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Pawtucket is the home of the Pawtucket Red Sox. The lead broadcaster for the Red Sox is none other than former RoughRiders' broadcaster Aaron Goldsmith.
These chains explain how everyone in the world quite possibly could be connected to Kevin Bacon. Are you?

Mendonca, Team USA Take Silver
As you might have seen on ESPN, Team Canada topped Team USA yesterday to take the gold medal in the Pan American Games. A familiar name to RoughRiders' fans, Jimmy Van Ostrand, drove in both of Canada's runs as they edged Tommy Mendonca and the US team, 2-1. For what's it's worth, Matt Hicks, the "Voice of the Hooks," told me at one point during the season that Van Ostrand was one of the best guys he's ever met in minor league baseball.
Mendonca, the 'Riders 2011 everyday third baseman, batted seventh in the championship game and finished 0-for-3 with three strikeouts. However, those numbers aren't a fair representation of his overall performance during the Games. In the opener of the Pan American Games, the Fresno State product went 3-for-4 with two doubles, six RBIs and two runs scored as the United States thumped the Dominican Republic, 20-2. In his first three tournament games he hit .455 with nine RBIs.
Along with Van Ostrand, the Canadian team featured Northwest Arkansas' Tim Smith and Jamie Romak. Arkansas' Matt Shoemaker, the Texas Leauge Pitcher of the Year, joined Tommy on the US squad. As did Matt Clark (San Antonio, '10) and former RoughRider Chad Tracy.
Game 6 of the World Series is tonight (maybe). The Cardinals' batting practice is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. with the Rangers hitting an hour later if possible. Game 6 has officially be postponed due to rain. We'll have to wait until Thursday.
Texas League Power Rankings
Only 28 games remain for the RoughRiders and the other seven teams in the Texas League. San Antonio and Arkansas already have their ticket punched to the postseason, and almost every other club in the league has a chance to get into the TL's final four.
The 'Riders dropped a place in the standings last night, but could they hold strong in this month's Power Rankings? Those are below, and here are the Power Rankings from May, June and July.
1. San Antonio (76-36, 27-15; Past Rankings: 1, 1, 1)
The Missions have the best record in all of full-season minor league baseball, with the San Jose Giants of the California League (74-38) the only team less than five games away from San Antonio. Not only has San Antonio been great this season, but they added Robbie Erlin and Joe Wieland, who had been with Frisco until the Mike Adams deal at the deadline.
KEY STAT (+200): That's the Missions' run differential this season, which leads the minors and is 160 runs better than the second-best mark in the TL (Frisco at +40). Thanks to Mike Saeger, the Missions play-by-play broadcaster for this stat.
2. Frisco (61-51, 21-21; Past Rankings: 6, 2, 3)
The 'Riders have fallen into a bit of a slump, and Midland has climbed above them in the standings. However, the RockHounds will need to leap over San Antonio in order to make the playoffs and, as a result, deny the RoughRiders of a spot in the playoffs. Midland has been better than the 'Riders over the last two weeks, but Frisco was clearly better for the season's first 100 games. Thus, the 'Riders are here.
KEY STAT (9-2, 3.09): The combined record and earned run average of Erlin and Wieland while they were with the RoughRiders. Now, they are on the team that Frisco would play in the first round of the postseason.
3. Northwest Arkansas (57-52, 22-20; Past Rankings: 4, 3, 6)
The Naturals won the league last year, and they have had plenty of big-time prospects on the roster. Finally, Northwest Arkansas has gone on a bit of a run to assume first place in both the overall and the second half standings. Still, last-place Arkansas is three games back, so this race will go down to the wire.
KEY STAT (2): The Naturals are only two losses away from matching their total from all of last year. Northwest went 86-54 en route to a pair of division crowns and a Texas League championship.
4. Midland (49-63, 22-20; Past Rankings: 3, 7, 5)
Talk about a team that has bounced up and down this season. Right now, Midland is one of the hottest teams in the Texas League and they have jumped into second place in the South. The RockHounds have won eight of ten, including their first series victory over Frisco this season Tuesday through Thursday of last week.
KEY STAT (4): Only four games remain for the RockHounds against the first-place Missions, and those aren't until August 30-September 2 in San Antonio. Midland must win the second-half championship to go to the playoffs, and they are currently five games back.
5. Arkansas (55-54, 19-23; Past Rankings: 7, 6, 2)
The Travelers stunned many and took the first half North Division title by one game over Northwest Arkansas. Right now, Arkansas is in a bit of a rut after going 6-0 to start half two. Since that point, Arkansas is 13-23, but they still have their postseason berth locked up.
KEY STAT (.348): Mike Trout's average since returning to the Travs August 1. The Angels' top prospect, who spent almost a month in the bigs, has hit safely in six of his seven games and has scored seven times since arriving back in North Little Rock.
6. Springfield (52-59, 20-21; Past Rankings: 5, 4, 7)
The Cardinals have been hot lately, which pushes them ahead of Tulsa and Corpus Christi. Springfield has gotten great pitching out of top prospect Shelby Miller, and the squad is right there in second in the second half North standings, just one-and-a-half games back of the Naturals.
KEY STAT (8-2): The Cardinals' record over the last ten games, which has propelled Springfield from last place in the North to second.
7. Tulsa (52-59, 19-22; Past Rankings: 2, 5, 4)
This is the lowest ranking for the Drillers this season, and it comes with the club still very much alive in the second half. Surprisingly, the Drillers have struggled at home this season. They have the worst home record in the TL at 24-30, including an 8-12 mark in the second half.
KEY STAT (20): The number of games that will remain when Drew Pomeranz, the key cog in Colorado's trade with Cleveland for Ubaldo Jimenez, is eligible to officially join the Rockies' system. If he joins the Drillers, Pomeranz would be able to make no more than four starts before the regular season ends.
8. Corpus Christi (42-70, 17-25; Past Rankings: 8, 8, 8)
I've tried to move these poor Hooks up in the rankings, but I just can't do it. Corpus Christi's roster is depleted now because many key pieces have moved up to Triple-A Oklahoma City or Houston.
KEY STAT (23%): The percentage of the Astros' current position players that were with the Hooks a month ago. Jose Altuve, J.D. Martinez and Jimmy Paredes are the Hooks-turned-Astros.
Agree? Disagree? Let us know in the comments!

RoughRiders Staying Steady
The month of July is upon us, and the Texas League has been full of surprises. The Missions continue to roll, the Travelers have turned into the power of the North, and the RoughRiders are right there in the conversation for the league's best teams.
Last month, the RoughRiders were ranked second in our Texas League Power Rankings. Can they hold onto that ranking? Find out in this month's Power Rankings (past rankings in order from earliest to most recent).
1. San Antonio (55-23, 6-2; Past Rankings: 1, 1): The Missions have held this title since our first rankings back in April, and there is no reason to lower them now. Since our last ranking when the Missions were 38-18, they have gone 17-5, raising their winning percentage to a ridiculous .705. San Antonio is trying to replicate Northwest Arkansas' dominance in the North last year, when the Naturals won both halves and the league title in September.
HIGH POINT (June 12): San Antonio clinched the first half title on this day with a 6-4 win over Corpus Christi, a last at-bat win that wrapped up a first half title that seemed inevitable after the team's incredible start.
LOW POINT (June 22): This was the day that everyone's records were reset to 0-0, which was a drop from 28 games above .500 to, well, 0. The Missions overcame this adversity with a 5-3 win over the Hooks.
KEY STAT (1st): San Antonio has the best record in all of full-season minor league baseball. No other team has a winning percentage above .700 like the Missions do.
2. Arkansas (42-33, 6-2; Past Rankings: 7, 6): Boy did I mess this one up last time. I had the entire North Division slotted 3-6, and I had the Travelers sixth. I learned my lesson. The Travs may be playing the best baseball in the Texas League over the last two weeks, and they would be first if it weren't for, you know, the best team in all of minor league baseball.
HIGH POINT (June 21): Arkansas clinched its first playoff berth since 2008 with a 17-6 thumping of Springfield at Hammons Field. That victory capped a 13-6 run to end the first half and get that postseason bid.
LOW POINT (June 11): The Travelers lost their second straight game to Northwest Arkansas on that day, 6-4. The Travs finished 7-3 to get that playoff berth.
KEY STAT (+45): That was Arkansas' run differential in June after posting a -1 in April and a -3 in May.
3. Frisco (43-35, 3-5; Past Rankings: 6, 2): The RoughRiders finished second in the Texas League during the first half of the season. It's too bad the 'Riders didn't play in the North. Frisco would have won the division fairly easily. Instead, the 'Riders sit in pretty good position in the playoff chase provided that San Antonio continues to roll. Only a Midland or Corpus Christi second-half crown should keep the club out of the playoffs.
HIGH POINT (June 19): The 'Riders wrapped up a 6-2 road trip with a 9-8, 12-inning victory over Corpus Christi at Whataburger Field. In the month, Frisco went 13-5 away from Dr Pepper Ballpark.
LOW POINT (June 26): T.J. Steele's walk-off, two-run homer gave Corpus Christi a 4-3 victory over the 'Riders, which was the Hooks' third straight against Frisco. That loss dipped the 'Riders' mark in the second half to 1-4.
KEY STAT (11): Frisco is 11 games up on Midland for second place in the overall standings, which means that if San Antonio wins both halves, the RoughRiders are in the driver's seat for the second playoff spot from the South. The team with the second best overall record goes to the playoffs when the same team wins the division in both halves.
4. Tulsa (38-40, 5-3; Past Rankings: 2, 5): The Drillers got off to a great start in the first half before fading and finishing the half in third. So far, so good for Tulsa in the second half. It's hard to believe that a team two games below the break-even mark would be fourth, but that's the set-up in this top-heavy Texas League.
HIGH POINT (June 27): With two down and his club down by two in the top of the 9th, Tim Wheeler hit a three-run home run to give the Drillers a 6-5 lead over the Cardinals that they would not lose. It was Tulsa's third straight win, and it ushered in the All-Star Break in a big way.
LOW POINT (June 19): The Drillers were already out of the chase by this point, but Arkansas delivered a knockout with a 3-1 win over Tulsa, the Travs' third straight win over the Drillers.
KEY STAT (19): Wheeler's home run total, which leads the Texas League by two over Frisco's Mike Bianucci and Springfield's Matt Adams.
5. Midland (32-46, 5-3; Past Rankings: 3, 7): Maybe it is a bit early to call the RockHounds "contenders" in the second half, but they are 5-3 and they rallied for a series split of San Antonio last week. Midland is off to a great start against the three best teams in this league (and the three top teams in this poll).
HIGH POINT (June 27): Midland went into the break with a come-from-behind 2-1 win over San Antonio. The 'Hounds scored one in the seventh to tie and one in the eighth to win.
LOW POINT (June 25): Two days prior, the RockHounds were shutout by the Missions for the second straight day, 2-0. It looked like more of the same for Midland in the second half. The last four games have changed that outlook.
KEY STAT (3.9): That's the average number of runs Midland's opponents have scored in the first eight games of the second half. The RockHounds had the worst ERA in the first half (5.22).
6. Northwest Arkansas (36-39, 1-7; Past Rankings: 4, 3): The next two teams share the biggest drops of the month. I had the Naturals as the favorite in the North in early June, and they finished one game back of Arkansas. The second half, however, has been a struggle. The Naturals have lost seven in a row and sit with the worst record in the Texas League's second half.
HIGH POINT (June 22): It was a modest high point, as the Naturals began the second half with a 6-2 win at Tulsa. At that point, the Naturals were four games above .500.
LOW POINT (July 1): Yesterday, the Naturals dropped their seventh straight, 4-1 at San Antonio. This skid ties a franchise high for most consecutive losses in team history. The only other time a seven-game losing streak has occurred for the Naturals–August of '09.
KEY STAT (41-21): That's the margin of runs for the Naturals' opponents and the Naturals in the second half. Northwest has posted two runs or less in five of the eight games.
7. Springfield (34-44, 2-6; Past Rankings: 5, 4): I was higher on the Cardinals than most in the first half, but Springfield still finished last in the North with a 32-38 mark. So far in the second half, things haven't gotten much better for a team that does have significantly more talent than it had at the beginning of the year.
HIGH POINT (June 15): Shelby Miller, St. Louis' top prospect, tossed eight shutout innings against Arkansas in Springfield's 8-1 win over the first-place Travs to keep the Cardinals alive (barely). Miller scattered four hits and whiffed eight.
LOW POINT (June 30): The Cardinals lost the lead in the eighth inning and fell victim to a RoughRiders walk-off win 7-6. It was the final loss during a four-game skid.
KEY STAT (1.89): Miller's ERA through six Double-A starts. He has been great since his call-up from high-A Palm Beach.
8. Corpus Christi (29-49, 4-4; Past Rankings: 8, 8): The rankings have been consistent at the beginning and the end. The Hooks have been in the basement all year long. However, the Hooks have shown some life in the second half, and players like Jose Altuve, Xavier Cedeno, Jake Goebbert, Dallas Keuchel and J.D. Martinez make it fun to watch Corpus Christi. The Hooks may not be in the hunt, but they will post their fair share of wins in the second half.
HIGH POINT (June 26): T.J. Steele's walk-off, two-run homer gave the Hooks a 4-3 victory over Frisco and a 3-2 record in the second half.
LOW POINT (June 27): The Hooks were three outs away from their first series sweep of the season, but the RoughRiders responded with four runs in the top of the ninth to stun Corpus 6-3.
KEY STAT (.500): The Hooks' winning percentage through eight games in half number two, which is significantly better than the .357 mark they posted in the first half.
How would you rank the Texas League? Let us know. Enjoy our coverage tonight on TXA 21 beginning at 7:00 and on the RoughRiders Baseball Network beginning at 6:35. Hope you are along for the ride!

Norman City Council OKs vote on guest room tax hike
NORMAN — Residents will go to the polls April 2 to vote on raising the hotel/motel room tax.
City council members Tuesday unanimously approved a resolution calling for the election, asking voters to approve increasing the tax from 4 to 5 percent tax on overnight stays in the city's 2,831 hotel, motel and bed-and-breakfast rooms.
"Any increase is an improvement over our current budget," said Stephen Koranda, executive director of the city's convention and tourism bureau.
Koranda said Norman visitors and tourism center is "glaringly underfunded," ranking 13th of 18 among Big 12 cities.
The city retains 3 percent of the money as reimbursement for administering the tax. The remaining 97 percent is divided among the convention and visitors bureau, which gets 50 percent; the arts, which get 25 percent; and parks, which get 25 percent. The division would remain the same, if the measure is approved.
The tax, which originated in 1980, generated $1,133,930 in fiscal year 2012.
Councilman Roger Gallagher said he favored raising the rate by 1.5 cents and considered the 1 cent increase a compromise with those who preferred keeping the rate lower. Most council members said they preferred the rate to remain lower than Oklahoma City's 5.5 percent tax rate because it would give Norman a competitive edge in attracting conventions and other large group stays in the metro area.
Gallagher said he favors the tax mainly because it would help the parks department.
"We have parks needing maintenance on a daily basis. Hope this helps in that area," he said.
Councilman Dave Spaulding said he was not entirely sure the tax hike was necessary "but I seem to be in the minority. I appreciate input from the hoteliers who are in favor of this, so I will take their word for it."
Mayor Cindy Rosenthal said the arts community has a stake in the tax hike proposal, especially with funding cuts to the arts threatened on the state level.
A bill filed in the Oklahoma House by Rep. Josh Cockroft, R-Tecumseh, proposes all funding to the Oklahoma Arts Council be eliminated. The legislation, if approved, would reduce state funding to the council each fiscal year by 25 percent of the current funding level, eventually ending the appropriation in 2017.
The April 2 election coincides with a city election for mayor and four council seats. If approved, the new tax rate would go into effect May 1.

This is great for the working family. When we got home from work, dinner was ready. We had time to eat a real dinner before leaving again for one sport or another.
Really yummy and really easy. Loved just throwing it all in the crockpot. Good with brown rice and soy sauce. Thanks!
My husband doesn't like mushrooms, so I used cream of chicken soup instead of the cream of mushroom. It turned out pretty good, but was a little rich and maybe too onion-y for my taste. Next time I will probably just use the onion soup mix and skip the fresh onion and will be freezing the leftovers instead of trying to eat it all in a few days.

frankly i think this alone is why we should have our own forum. So that it worksIs there some sort of trick to making SRK work properly on my browser? every now and then the site will just give random errors, fail to load, or just take to damn long to do anything. I'm using chrome btw.
I have no idea if its a good idea to have our own forum, but all of the character forums here could use a post-patch revamp. There's a lot of lingering obsolete information
+1 for this

Well i could chip in $40 right(All i could spare atm, have not got paid yet) now to cover some of the expenses if other people are chipping in. If we are doing this, might as well get the more expensive option if the benefits are worth it. I could also hold off and help out when i get more Cash as well is another option and just stick with the Free Version for now until we migrateXenforo costs around $120 IIRC. vBulletin is like $250. I'm going to install a free version for now, and then migrate to a paid option later.
yeah, but it's only temporary. it was all a bit short-notice so we're just getting the content sorted first.Yo...that lefty layout is terrible.

|UCC Crosses Critical Technical Indicator
ETF Channel Staff - Friday, November 16, 11:49 AMIn trading on Friday, shares of the Proshares Ultra Consumer Services ETF (UCC) entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $70.5301 per share. We define oversold territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30.
In the case of Proshares Ultra Consumer Services, the RSI reading has hit 29.3 � by comparison, the RSI reading for the S&P 500 is currently 26.8.
A bullish investor could look at UCC's 29.3 reading as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side.
Looking at a chart of one year performance (below), UCC's low point in its 52 week range is $46.16 per share, with $82.53 as the 52 week high point � that compares with a last trade of $70.53. Proshares Ultra Consumer Services shares are currently trading off about 0.7% on the day.
