ST. LOUIS -- Nine days ago, the greatest closer in major league history needed just three outs to finish off the Boston Red Sox. Three more outs, and the Red Sox would've suffered a humiliating playoff sweep, the Yankees spraying champagne all over their house. Three more outs and the Red Sox would've been doomed to an ugly offseason overhaul, the 86th consecutive winter of rebuilding, maybe the coldest ever.
But it was in that depth of almost total defeat that the Red Sox began their comeback, and now they are one victory away from completing a sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series. Boston thoroughly dominated the Cardinals again in Game 3, Pedro Martinez pitching seven scoreless innings as the Red Sox won, 4-1.
"We're not happy, we're not celebrating," Red Sox center fielder Johnny Damon said. "We've stressed as a team how important every game is, and tomorrow will be no different."
Boston can finish off the Cardinals in Game 4 Wednesday, and unless you still believe in curses, there is every reason to think the Red Sox will do so. They are controlling almost everything -- all the at-bats, the potent sluggers in the middle of the Cardinals' lineup -- as if this was a series between the Red Sox marionettes and the St. Louis puppets. The Cardinals have never held a lead in this series, and in those brief moments when the Cardinals have opportunity, they are reacting poorly, making mistakes.
The Red Sox took a first-inning lead -- again -- when Manny Ramirez slammed a solo homer off St. Louis starter Jeff Suppan. The Cardinals stirred, for once: They loaded the bases with one out in the first against Martinez, and Jim Edmonds lifted a fly ball to left, where Ramirez often performs a comedy routine on defense; you're never sure if he's going to intercept the ball with his glove or his head.
But every once in a while, Ramirez does everything right in the outfield, and this moment was one of those times when Ramirez suddenly looked like Carl Yastrzemski. He measured his approach to the ball perfectly, set himself and, as Larry Walker tagged at third base, threw home -- on target, one bounce. Jason Varitek caught the ball and rammed his glove into the sliding Walker to complete an inning-ending double play. The other Red Sox shouted and high-fived Ramirez like they had won a lottery ticket.
The Cardinals had more runners in scoring position in the third, after Suppan beat out an infield single and Edgar Renteria whacked a double over the head of Boston right fielder Trot Nixon (who ensured himself a permanent place on Major League Baseball's blooper reels by slipping on the rain-soaked grass and landing flatly on his backside, with a splash).
The Red Sox, leading by a run, played their infield back, shortstop Orlando Cabrera and second baseman Mark Bellhorn close to the outfield grass; any roller hit past the pitcher and Suppan could trot home easily. Walker did pull a medium-speed grounder to the right side, and Suppan started moving toward home, third base coach Jose Oquendo starting to wave behind him: Go, go!
Suppan is accustomed to running the bases, having played in the National League in three different seasons. But this was his first time
running the bases in a World Series, and perhaps that is the reason why he suddenly stopped halfway down the line, as Bellhorn threw leisurely to first base; Suppan started to move back toward third base, haltingly, and Oquendo -- seeing disaster occurring right in front of him -- looked away in exasperation. Renteria, the runner at second, was nearing third: Two baserunners stuck in no-man's land. "I was supposed to go," Suppan said later. "I don't know how else to describe it -- bad baserunning."
The other infielders yelled at first baseman David Ortiz that Suppan was in trouble. Ortiz, playing his first game in the field in months, steadily and deliberately began moving toward Suppan, as the first base manual says to do, and when Suppan darted back toward third, Ortiz calmly rifled a throw to third baseman Bill Mueller, who slapped down a tag successfully. The St. Louis rally was sabotaged and as Suppan got up and jogged off the field, Oquendo stood with his arms folded and squeezed against his chest.
With excellent plays by their two weakest defensive players, the Red Sox had gotten a break and in the next two innings they did what great teams do, padding their lead when failure was fresh in the minds of the Cardinals. After a two-out double by Mueller in the fourth, Nixon whacked a long single against the right-field fence; 10 of Boston's 21 runs in this series have come with two outs.
Damon reached a full count leading off the fifth, and he doubled, before Cabrera poked his bat out and dumped a single into right field, with Damon stopping at third.
Ramirez fell behind in the count 1-and-2, and Suppan flipped an off-speed pitch so low that it seemed destined for the dirt; catcher Mike Matheny dropped to his knees, preparing to block the ball. But Ramirez swung, hit the ball shoe-lace high, and dragged a single through the left side of the infield to score Damon. Boston scored again on a two-out single by Mueller, and Suppan was discarded, like the other St. Louis starters.
"They are tough to finish off," St. Louis left fielder Reggie Sanders said. "They're giving tough at-bats every at-bat, so there's not a chance for the pitcher to relax."
This is the common refrain in this series: The St. Louis pitchers cannot fool nor finish off the Boston hitters, cannot make them swing and miss, cannot overpower them; the Red Sox dictate all the at-bats, the Cardinals' pitchers seemingly helpless. The efficiency of the Boston hitters has been uncanny: The Cardinals have thrown 511 pitches in this series and the Red Sox have swung and missed only 25 times. "We've been making a conscious effort to do that," Damon said. "We've been putting together good at-bats the whole year."
Said hitting coach Ron Jackson: "We feed off each other, hitters one through nine, and they've been picking each other up pretty good."
The three St. Louis starters in this series -- Woody Williams, Matt Morris and Suppan -- have generated just 11 swings and misses in 248 pitches.
Martinez caused 13 swings and misses in 98 pitches in Game 3, dominating the Cardinals after the early St. Louis rallies. He changed speeds masterfully, throwing a changeup that fooled Scott Rolen into a dribbler in the seventh, and he blew fastballs past Sanders. Martinez allowed only three hits, walked two, struck out six, retiring the last 14 batters he faced -- and from the fourth inning into the ninth, 14 consecutive Cardinals hitters failed to get the ball out of the infield.
Martinez had walked off the field at the end of the seventh, looking calm, like it was no big deal. The Red Sox seemed relaxed afterward, the players chatting breezily, Kevin Millar taking video of Derek Lowe giving postgame interviews, Curt Schilling walking through the clubhouse with a black and blue ankle, Bronson Arroyo making jokes.
But this is all enormous, all that is happening. Nine days ago, a ninth inning away from a sweep, Mariano Rivera on the mound, the hopes of another summer all but gone. And now there is great anticipation; 86 years of anticipation.

What is dual credit?
Dual credit is a program specifically designed for high school students who are ready for the challenge of college academics. The program enables high-performing students to simultaneously earn high school credit and college credit for coursework completed in the high school classroom. If your high school offers a University of Central Missouri course that has been approved for dual credit, and UCM academic officials have approved your classroom teacher to teach the course at your school.
Student Eligibility:
To participate in UCM's dual credit program, students must meet the following eligibility criteria:
Dual credit students are expected to be proficient in the English language. Dual credit classes contain university level material and a certain level of English proficiency is necessary. Students should discuss this with their guidance counselor to ensure that their language skills are such that dual credit classes are a good choice.
How much will it cost?
Dual credit tuition is $85 per credit hour. Tuition may be paid by cash, personal check, money order, debit card or web-check.
Dependents of UCM employees may reduce dual credit tuition costs by 50 percent if they participate in Central's Educational Development/Assistance Program. Application forms for the EDAS Program are available from, and should be returned to, the UCM Human Resources Office.
Must I pay the full tuition when I enroll?
After admission and enrollment is completed by Dual Credit Office, the student will receive a paper bill in an envelope marked "Dual Credit Bill". The tuition should be paid at a rate of 25% per month with the entire tuition amount being paid in full prior to the end of the semester.
*The tuition pay periods for summer differ, please contact the dual credit office for more information.
How do I enroll?
Students who are interested in enrolling in dual credit can complete an application online or print out a pdf application to fill out and mail in. Instructions on how to enroll can be found at http://www.ucmo.edu/dualcredit/forms.cfm. You should complete the Dual Credit Online Signature Page or PDF Enrollment Form; then have your principal, counselor, or teacher verify your eligibility and sign the Enrollment Form. The completed forms should be returned to your dual credit teacher who will submit your paperwork to UCM.
What if I'm in the class, but don't want college credit?
You may stay in the class and take the course for high school credit. Only students wanting college credit should fill out the dual credit enrollment paperwork. Once an Enrollment Form is sent to UCM, the student is enrolled in the course for college credit. If for any reason you change your mind and do not want it for college credit you can drop the class before the drop deadline with out penalty.
What if I enroll for dual credit and later decide I want to drop the college enrollment?
After enrolling, a dual credit student may drop/withdraw from the college portion of the dual credit course. In order to drop a dual credit course, a Dual Credit Drop Form must be completed. Drop dates and corresponding refunds are included on the Drop Form. To drop the college portion of the dual credit course, students must submit a signed, written drop request to the Dual Credit Program Coordinator, 410 Humphreys, UCM, Warrensburg, MO 64093. Dropping the course at the high school or rearranging a student's high school schedule does not drop or withdraw the student from UCM enrollment.
Will I receive a student ID?
Upon teacher request, students are issued temporary ID cards that allow them to use Central's computer labs and the James C. Kirkpatrick Library. Temporary IDs do not entitle students to reduced admission at UCM activities, including sporting events.
Will I receive a UCM grade report?
Students will not receive a grade card from University of Central Missouri. The final grade as shown on the high school grade card will be recorded on the student's transcript at Central.
Transcripts can be forwarded to other colleges and universities upon request to the Office of the Registrar. Students can fill out a transcript request form on their MyCentral (http://mycentral.ucmo.edu) or by sending a paper request to: WDE 1000, UCM, Warrensburg, MO 64093. Each mailed transcript cost $5.00. For additional information, call the REGISTRAR @ (660) 543-4900.
Will the college credit I earn transfer to other colleges/universities?
In accordance with statewide guidelines, college credit earned through Central's dual credit courses offered in the high schools shall be eligible for transfer between public and independent institutions within Missouri. However, dependent upon the course, major area of study, and/or institution, the credit may or may not satisfy individual program requirements. Search course transfer equivalencies here.

Release Date:
February 28, 2012
The Lonesome River boys celebrate 30 years of playing music and making records this year, still one of the top bands in the bluegrass field. They've had their share of personnel shifts, and while none of the founders remain on board, banjo player and bandleader Sammy Shelor has been with the group for 20-plus years and keeps the flame alive. To celebrate the band's longevity they'll be releasing three Chronology collections, eight-track mini-albums that will reprise some of their greatest hits. Volume One concentrates on the '80s. "The Game Is Over" and "Hobo Blues" are from Carrying the Tradition, the set the put them on the map. Singerguitarist Brandon Rickman lends his country soul to "The Game," putting his stamp on the tune Ronnie Bowman introduced, and duets with mandolin player Randy Jones on "Hobo Blues," featuring Shelor's haunted banjo and short, punchy solos from the rest of the band to support their playful call and response vocals. Eric Anderson's "Close the Door Lightly When You Go," seemed like an unlikely cover when the band took it on in 1987, but they transformed the despondent, bluesy feel of Anderson's original with a rollicking arrangement that made it a celebration of independence after the end of a bad relationship. They do likewise here, with Jones taking lead vocal chores. "Old Man in the Shanty" is given a traditional treatment as it tells the tale of a cranky loner befriending a young boy. Hargrove's fiddle and Shelor's banjo support Rickman's poignant vocal. "Angeline the Baker," the one new track on the EP, is an instrumental that opens with an impressive interplay between Shelor's banjo and Mike Hargrove's fiddle before the rest of the group comes in to provide a stirring finish to the album. ~ j. poet, Rovi

My audience loved this pudding. I didn't have enough time to soak the ginger snaps in the egg mixture, so I ran the snaps through the food processor and ground them to a coarse powder. It tasted like a steamed pudding and everyone loved it!
Wow -what a disappointment. No flavor whatsoever and the custard didn't mix so much with the gingersnap peices as it sunk below them.
My family loves this recipe! We have made it the last couple of years for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Even the finicky children like it!

Vols' Sentimore wants to beat his former team
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee defensive end Darrington Sentimore says he still has plenty of friends at Alabama, where he began his college career. It doesn't appear Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban is among them.
The 6-foot-2, 288-pound Sentimore has extra motivation Saturday when Tennessee faces the top-ranked Tide, saying, "I want this game more than any other game because I want to beat Saban."
Sentimore played sparingly for Alabama in 2010, but he was suspended indefinitely in June 2011 for an undisclosed violation of team rules. After the suspension, Sentimore spent last season at Gulf Coast (Miss.) Community College before signing with Tennessee.
Sentimore has collected three sacks and four tackles for loss to lead the Vols in both categories.

Dist. 220 Schools Get Help in Fight against Depression Fight: Parent Says Depression Requires Direct Treatment like Any Illness
Byline: Eric Peterson firstname.lastname@example.com
In its ongoing aim to prevent further teen suicides, Barrington Unit District 220 is receiving both guidance and validation from some highly respected agencies.
Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University and the Skokie-based Cheryl T. Herman Foundation are lending their expertise to the district's and community's mental health programs.
From the fall of 2007 through August 2010, five Barrington High School students and two district staff members committed suicide.
The deaths sparked the creation of the group Help, Encouragement, Resources, Education, or HERE, to publicize and improve the community's mental health programs.
One of its major goals is to destigmatize depression and get help for it. The program's objectives and successes impressed Dr. John Zajecka, associate professor of psychiatry at Rush University Medical Center and a trustee of the Herman Foundation.
"It was refreshing to see the open-mindedness that was there," Zajecka said Wednesday.
The Herman Foundation, named after a Zajecka patient who battled both breast cancer and depression, supports education, diagnosis and treatment related to depression, bipolar disorders and related illnesses.
The foundation's executive director, Steve Murray, was well aware of the struggle the Barrington High School community was going through, having two daughters there himself. …

Attorneys for the doctor charged in Michael Jackson's death are asking a judge to order testing on syringes found in the pop singer's home that they say is rapidly deteriorating.
Attorney J. Michael Flanagan told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he has submitted a motion asking a judge to order the testing after being unable to reach an agreement with prosecutors in recent months.
Dr. Conrad Murray's attorneys are asking the Los Angeles coroner's office to determine the quantities of fluids, believed to include the anesthetic propofol and lidocaine, in two syringes and an IV bag found after Jackson's death last June.
Flanagan says time is running out for the testing to be done. The substance in one of the syringes has been described by Murray's attorneys as "salt."

Changes to EPA RMP (40CFR68)
As a result of perceived poor industry process safety performance over the past decade, and due to recent notable accidents (West, TX and Richmond, CA), the White House issued Executive Order 13650 - Improving Chemical Facility Safety and Security on August 1, 2013. The EO set up an OSHA/EPA/DHS Working Group to develop action plans over the next six months to find ways to:
- Improve operational coordination with states, tribes and local partners
- Enhance information collection and sharing
- Modernize regulations, guidance and policies
- Identify best practices in chemical facility safety and security
The RFI regarding modernizing EPA's RMP Regulation was published this summer, with comments due by October 29, 2014. This RFI is requesting input from all stakeholders on ideas to improve the RMP standard including the following areas:
- Update the list of regulated substances
- Additional risk management program elements
- Define/require evaluation of updates to applicable recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices
- Extend mechanical integrity requirements to cover any safety critical equipment
- Require management of organizational changes
- Require third-party compliance audits
- Effects of OSHA PSM coverage on RMP applicability
- Safer technology and alternatives analysis
- Emergency drills to test and emergency response program
- Automated detection and monitoring of releases of regulated substances
- Additional stationary source location requirements
- Compliance with emergency response requirements in coordination with local responders
- Incident investigation and accident history requirements
- Worst case release scenario quantity requirements for processes involving numerous small vessels stored together
- Public disclosure of information to promote regulatory compliance and improve community understanding of chemical risks
- TQs and OCA endpoints for regulated substances based on AEGLs
- Program 3 NAICS codes based on RMP accident history data
- The "Safety Case" regulatory model
What Could Executive Order 13650 Mean to Industry?
These potential changes could significantly increase the regulatory compliance burden/risk for many chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas, and related industries/facilities for:
- Plant Siting and Buffer Zones
- New Projects
- Existing Plant Upgrades
- Stakeholder Interactions
Following the RFI comment deadline, EPA is likely to take several months to analyze the inputs they get before issuing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to propose an "improved" RMP standard, which could come by summer 2015.
Be Involved and Prepare
- Monitor now; Get active during any future PSM/RMP rulemaking
- Get involved now; Monitor agency engagement opportunities; Prepare to engage in any future rulemaking
- Begin developing your own positions on what you believe should be done and collect data to support your case
- Determine your views on PSM/RMP changes that are likely and conceive of smart things to do over the next couple of years to be in a better compliance position
How ABS Consulting Can Help
ABS Consulting was involved with several industry groups during the original PSM and RMP rulemakings and has written many industry PSM/RMP compliance and process safety effective practices guidelines. ABS Consulting has been integral in assisting industry and other stakeholders to understand and determine cost-effective compliance solutions, including leading national PSM/RMP rollout workshops and RMP public communication efforts.
ABS Consulting has prepared briefing presentations on the EO and the EPA RMP RFI to address:
- How could the rules change?
- What does it mean to industry?
- What are some ways to engage with the EO Working Group and regulatory agencies to ensure sensible, effective improvements in the regulatory regime?
- What are some things you can do now to lessen the impact and improve process safety?
For more information...
For more information on the EO or the OSHA PSM RFI, or if you would be interested in having ABS Consulting present a briefing to your organization, either face-to-face or via webinar, please contact Steve Arendt, Vice President, North America Process Industries, at (281) 673-2914 or email@example.com.

The invention relates to improved latch members for use with an electrical connector housing. In particular, the latch members are configured to eliminate stress concentration points, thereby minimizing the potential for latch breakage.
Housings for certain electrical connector are molded from dielectric plastic material and are intended to be secured to mating connector housings when the connectors have been moved together in a mated condition, in which the respective arrays of electrical contacts are mated to complete electrical connections. In some of these connectors, hardware is fastened to the respective housings to secure them together in their mated condition, but it is desirable that the housings have an integral latching means. Integrally molded latch arms are disposed along opposed sides of the housing of one of the connectors and extend forwardly to latchingly engage corresponding latching surfaces of the housing of the other connector, when the connectors are moved together into a mated condition.
Latch arms used for securing connectors together are known in U.S. Pat. No. 4,867,700 and assigned to assignee hereof. The latch arms include rearward portions which are deflectable to unlatch the latch arms when it is desired to separate and unmate the connectors, in which case the latch arms can be said to be hingedly joined to the housing. Such latch arms are subjected to stress and torque during mating and unmating of the connectors, and the hinge joint must be rugged and durable to withstand many cycles of mating and unmating, especially taking into consideration that the hinge joint is molded of plastic material which can commonly lose strength over time when worked and subjected to temperature cycling as well.
It is desired to provide hinge joints for latch arms of connector housings which are designed to resist stress and torque and yet be flexible to allow many cycles of deflection of the latch arms.
The present invention is directed to a hinge joint for joining a deflectable section to a connector housing. The hinge joint has a midsection with enlarged first and second ends. Radiused sections are provided on the first and second ends. The midsection and the enlarged ends extend between and are integrally attached to the deflection section and the connector housing. The configuration of the hinge joint ensures that as forces are applied to the deflectable section, the associated stresses of the hinge joint will be distributed such that concentration of stresses will be eliminated, thereby reducing the possibility of hinge joint failure.
The invention is also directed to a connector housing molded of plastic material and matable with a corresponding connector housing. The connector housing has a pair of latch arms on opposite sides thereof having respective latching members at forward free ends thereof. The latch arms cooperate with latching means of the corresponding connector housing to maintain the connector housings in a mated condition. Each latch arm is joined to a respective side of the housing at a hinge joint which is spaced a selected distance rearwardly from the forward free end of the latch arm. The hinge joints have midsections with first and second ribs integrally attached to the midsections. The first ribs are positioned at first ends of the midsections and the second ribs are positioned at second ends of the midsections. The first and second ribs extend beyond sidewalls of the midsections in a direction which is essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the midsections. The midsections and the first and second ribs extend between and are integrally attached to the latch arms and the connector housing. The configuration of the hinge joints ensures that as forces are applied to the latch arm, the associated stresses of the hinge joint will be distributed to the first and second ribs to prevent the failure of the hinge joint.
It is an objective of the invention to provide a hinge joint for each latch arm of a connector housing which is capable of flexure to allow deflection of the latch arm during mating and unmating of the connector with a mating connector.
It is a further objective for such a hinge joint to resist stress and torque and be durable over many cycles of latch arm deflection, allowing many cycles of connector mating and unmating.
An embodiment of the hinge joint will now be described with respect to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a connector housing having a pair of latch arms joined thereto by hinge joints of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the connector housing with portions of the latch arms shown in cross-section to illustrate the hinge joints which join the latch arms to the connector housing.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the connector housing and a latch arm thereof broken away from the connector housing to expose the hinge joint of the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the latch arm of the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a partial perspective view, similar to that of FIG. 3, of the latch arm broken away from the housing to expose the hinge joint.
FIG. 6 is a top plan view of the connector housing being mated to a mating connector housing.
FIG. 7 is a top plan view, similar to FIG. 6, of the connector housing and the mating connector housing in the mated condition.
Referring to FIGS. 1, 6 and 7, a preferred form of connector assembly in accordance with invention comprises a plug connector 4 and a receptacle connector 2. The plug connector 4 comprises a block 6 of insulating material, such as nylon, having a mating face 8 and a rearward face 10. A plurality of contact receiving cavities 12 extend axially through the block from the rearward face to the mating face and are adapted to receive contact terminals which are crimped onto wires. The plug connector 4 contains contact sockets which are adapted to receive the projection ends of contact pins contained in the receptacle connector 2 of the connector assembly.
Block 6 has upper and lower surfaces 15, 17 and side surfaces 18, 20 on which latch arms 22 are provided. The latch arms 22 are generally flat platelike members integrally joined to the sides of the housing at respective flexible integral hinge joints 19 located approximately midway along the latch arms. Each latch arm 22 includes a forward portion 34 concluding in a free end 36 having a latching member 38. The forward portions 34 have grooves 23 which extends from proximate the hinge joints 19 to the latching members 38. Rearwardly facing shoulders 25 are provided at the interfaces between the latching members 38 and the grooves 23. These shoulders 25 are adapted to cooperate with barbed ends 52 of latch arms 48 which are mounted on the corresponding sides of the receptacle 2, as best shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. Latch arms 22 further include rearward portions 42 which extend rearwardly from the hinge joints 19. The rearward portions 42 are configured to allow the user to grip the portions and release the plug connector 4 from the receptacle connector 2, as will be more fully described.
During the mating of the connectors, latch arms 22 are deflected outwardly around respective pivot axes (which pass through the hinge joints 19) as latching members 38 ride over barbed ends 52 of latch arms 48, as shown in FIG. 6. Upon mating, latching members 38 are moved beyond the barbed ends 52, such that the barbed ends 52 are positioned in the grooves 23. In this position shoulders 25 of latch arms 22 cooperate with shoulders 54 of latch arms 48 to prevent inadvertent delatching caused by stress or vibration when the connectors are in their mated condition. The connector-proximate portions of latch arm free ends 36 preferably include an angled surface 44 to engage angled surfaces 56 of barbed ends 52 and bear thereagainst to initiate deflection of the latch arms 22 outwardly. During unmating, rearward latch arm portions 42 are adapted to be urged toward each other, rotating latch arms 22 about their respective hinge joints to delatch latching members 38 from barb ends 52, whereupon the plug connector 4 can be move rearwardly away from the receptacle connector 2.
Each latch arm 22 has a pair of hinge joints 19, as best shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. Each hinge joint is capable of flexure during the deflection of the latch arm. For ease of explanation and understanding, the detailed description for one hinge joint will be provided. However, all hinge joints are identical and the detailed explanation provided applies to each of the hinge joints.
Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, hinge joint 19 has a cross section lying in a plane parallel to the pivot axis, the cross section having a narrow midsection 60 with enlarged ends or ribs 62, 64 integrally attached thereto at respective ends thereof. The ribs 62, 64 extend from the midsection 60 to respective end surfaces 66, 68.
In cross-section the ribs 62, 64 extend beyond the sidewalls of the midsection 60 to give the hinge joint a "dogbone" configuration, as best shown in FIG. 5. In this configuration the longitudinal axis of each rib extends in a direction which is essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the midsection.
As is illustrated in the figures, the hinge joint has first radiused sections A and second radiused sections B. Sections A join the midsection 60 to the ribs 62, 64 and sections B are provided on ribs 62, 64 proximate end surfaces 66, 68.
As best shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the hinge joint 19 also has radiused sections C and D. Sections C are provided at the interface between the latch arm and the hinge joint. Sections D are provided at the interface between the housing and the hinge joint. Each of the radiused section C and D extend from the first end surface 66 of the hinge joint to the second end surface 68. The radiused sections C and D, therefore, cooperate with and are integral with the midsection 60 and the ribs 62, 64.
The use of ribs 62, 64 and radiused sections A, B, C and D are provided to reduce and distribute the stresses associated with the function of the latch arm across the entire width of the hinge joint. The distribution of stresses reduces the potential of hinge joint breakage and eliminates stress concentration of the hinge joint.
In the embodiment shown, the radiused sections A and B have a radius in the range of 0.005" to 0.010" and the radiused sections C and D have a radius in the range of 0.015" to 0.020". The ribs 62, 64 extend beyond the sidewalls of the midsection by a distance of between 0.010" to 0.015". This configuration is considered optimum for the connector illustrated in the drawings.
In connectors of this type, the hinge joint 19 is subjected to various forces including pull-out forces and displacement forces. The pull-out forces occur when the plug connector 4 is pulled away from the receptacle connector 2 without disengaging the latch arms. These pull-out forces have an axial component and a rotational component associated therewith. The displacement forces are the forces associated with the rotation of the latch arms from the mating position to the unmating position. Both the pull-out and displacement forces are transmitted to the hinge joint causing the hinge joint to be stressed. As each force is different, the stress distribution on the hinge joint varies for each force. Consequently, the optimum design for the hinge joint must be one which allows the for flexibility of the joint and which can accommodate the various stress distributions without failure. For the connector illustrated, this optimum design is described above.
Although in the embodiment disclosed an optimum configuration of the hinge joint is presented, it is important to note that in other connectors different optimum ranges may be applicable. However, the basic configuration of the "dogbone" hinge joint would remain the same.
Changes in construction will occur to those skilled in the art and various apparently different modifications and embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the invention. The matter set forth in the foregoing description and accompanying drawings is offered by way of illustration only.

Back in August, Elie Bursztein, the man in charge of Google's anti-abuse research team, detailed how he developed a tool to exploit Blizzard's popular collectible trading card game, Hearthstone. Bursztein gave a lengthy presentation on how he accomplished the hack during the Defcon 22 hacking conference in Las Vegas, but broke from convention by refusing to release his work online.
Bursztein claims that the tool he had created to 'hack' Hearthstone made it much easier for players to beat their opponents. He claims that his tool "uses data analysis to find undervalued cards and exploits game structure using machine learning to predict your opponent's deck."
While he won't share the actual code of his hack, he did releases his entire Defcon 22 presentation on YouTube (which you can watch right now to your left).
So why won't Bursztein release the hacking tool? Because after Defcon he had a lengthy conversation with the Hearthstone team at Blizzard, who implored him to keep the hack under wraps.
"Following Defcon we had a series of conversations with the Hearthstone team about our research," Bursztein explained. "They like our research on game/cards balance and are very enthusiastic and supportive about it. On the other hand, they were very concerned that our real time dashboard that can predict your opponent's deck will break the game balance by giving that person (that is, whoever has the tool) an unfair advantage."
"They also expressed concern that such a tool makes the game less fun by taking away some of the decision-making from the player," he continued. "It was a difficult decision – I invested a lot of our time building our real-time dashboard tool with [my wife] Celine – but we agree with the Hearthstone team and will not release the tool publicly."
It will be interesting to see if any hackers out there who have read Bursztein's blog and watch his Defcon 22 are capable of figuring out how he accomplished his hack. For now it's his dirty little secret. You can read more about the hack here.

Bilbao's Casco Viejo is undoubtedly the prime place to head for pintxos and evening drinking, with the best areas being the Plaza Nueva and around the Siete Calles, with a particularly earthy and vibrant Basque scene at the top of C Somera. There's another concentration of bars on Av Licenciado Poza and the smaller C García Rivero off it. The narrow C Ledesma, a street back from Gran Vía, is a popular place to head for lunch set menus or after-work snacks and drinks. There are some good restaurants in the Casco Viejo (including a couple geared solely to tourists), but also plenty of options scattered through the New Town and Deustu.

WAYCROSS - To some, it might sound like a dream job - earning a government paycheck to go fishing.
But to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, it's serious business. A tough, new eradication program in south Georgia's Satilla River is aimed at wiping out flathead catfish, aquatic illegal aliens that are threatening to destroy native species.
Flatheads, considered invasive in the fragile Satilla, eat anything that swims in front of them. Even the river's native bullhead catfish population has come under attack, and the flatheads threaten to decimate other native species including the redbreast sunfish.
Since April, DNR technicians in Waycross have landed more than 3,000 catfish.

WTMD has a new Performance Studio, and they're swinging the doors wide open to make sure everyone gets a chance to see some of Baltimore's amazing local talent—both of the radio and non-radio variety. In fact, besides the variety of fab musical fare that we're used to here in the Greatest City in America, there will be some culinary arts on display as Elena Fox of Charm City Cakes attempts to make a delicious cake in under three minutes. We're hoping they ask for taste testers. Read More →

Jillys Rockworld is one of the Premier Rock clubs in Manchester. It plays a wide range of Rock and alternative music and has tastes to suit everyone. There are 4 rooms of great music ranging from classic rock to Heavy metal, Emo and Goth. Whatever room you will find something to suit your tastes. The promotions at Jillys are the best I have ever come across. £1 flyers, members benefits and discounts, not to mention good drinks offers. Most people I have met there are friendly and easy going and I have always enjoyed a brilliant night out there. If you are into the rock or metal scene, whatever your style you will completely enjoy Jillys Rockworld - get a membership too - its free and you get free tickets for your birthday for you and your mates.

At an age when it maybe termed uncool in Bollywood's contemporary musical lexicon, Sanjay Leela Bhansali continues to embrace the traditional Hindi film music melodies as he does with 'Ang laga de and Dhoop'.
The next, 'Laal ishq', emanates the kind of purity we had heard in Guzaarish's 'Tera zikr hai' the interlude is very similar to Saawariya's 'Mashallah.' Possibly this is the best song of the album Arijit Singh is making it a habit to get the best tunes.
One of the perks of a Bhansali soundtrack is getting to hear Shail Hada's voice. Hada, who had sung Saawariya title sings 'Poore chand,' a song bathed in the kind of luminosity typical of Bhansali's deep, dark haunting melodies, with full-throttled clarity, poise and range.
Where a couple of songs 'Ishqyaun dhishqyaun, Mor bani thangat kare' and 'Lahu munh lag gaya' suffer from is unimaginative arrangement.
It's too close to the authentic garba/ dandiya orchestra for its own good; and something like Amit Trivedi's contemporary twists done in Kai Po Che's Shubhaarambh would have done wonders.
Comparisons with 'Dhol baaje' from 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' are inevitable, and 'Nagada sang dhol' does sound similar in parts.
'Ram chahe Leela', is the contemporary song of the album, that has words like 'dono ke love mein duniya ka kya kaam.' Sung by Bhoomi Trivedi, it is a racy number that is possibly the supposed item song to be featured on a top female star.
'Tattad tattad' mostly takes shape around its infectious hookline, and does little with the rest.
Aditya Narayan does all the right things but ends up sounding like Udit Narayan Junior.
Much like his last film and his first outing as a music director 'Guzaarish,' Ram Leela is the kind of an album that lingers on.

A National Conversation for England
Digital Democracy: A National Conversation on EnglandSubmitted by Toque on Mon, 03/21/2011 - 12:35
I have a proposal up on Digital Democracy, please sign up and give it your support.
A National Conversation on England
Concern: The lack of representative and accountable democracy in England, the political disregard for English national identity and national interest, and the complete absence of an English national voice.
Solution: A national conversation on England should be established with a view to bringing forward a bill to hold a referendum in England on the establishment and tax-varying powers of an English Parliament.
Digital Democracy uses a two stage process to help your voice get heard. The first is the promotion stage in which everyone's initial ideas are debated and ranked by importance. The second stage is the voting stage which takes the most popular proposal and gives everyone a chance to vote either for or against it. Your MP is then invited to respond. More information on the project from Andrew MacDonald over at Our Kingdom.
Letter to Norman Baker MPSubmitted by Toque on Thu, 05/13/2010 - 10:43
Dear Mr Baker,
First of all, congratulations on being re-elected. You deserve it, you are an extremely diligent constituency MP and I appreciate the responses and updates that you send me on the various civil liberties and constitutional reform issues that I pester you on. So thank you.
The outline coalition policy agreement looks extremely promising, particularly the section on civil liberties.
But what I am writing to you today about is the pledge "to establish a commission to consider the 'West Lothian question'".
In my opinion we do not need a commission to consider the West Lothian Question, it has already been thoroughly considered, and the general public overwhelmingly want the unfairness of MPs elected in Scotland voting on English domestic matters resolved. The question is, how do we resolve it?
What we require is a national conversation for England, which involves the English people in a debate on the English Question and the future of English governance, and which then takes forward their recommendations to a referendum on English governance. The English Question can only be answered by the people of England. I hope that you will join me in calling for a National Conversation for England to precede any constitutional convention - it is a call for popular sovereignty. I'm sure that you appreciate the need for governance by popular consent, so I hope that I can rely on you to make representations on behalf of "we the people".
Your new coalition partners would prefer a top-down, Parliamentary mitigation of the West Lothian Question that did not consult the English people how they wish to be governed. That is not acceptable, and neither - in this modern democratic age - is an establishment commission like the Kilbrandon Commission.
Will you involve yourself, as my MP, in the commission, and will you also push for as much public involvement as possible? This is something that the new government should make a priority because it was ignored by Labour for thirteen years, please do not allow it to be kicked into the long grass.
Many thanks,
See The Policies of the Conservative-Lib Dem Coalition Government - Write to Your MP
National Conversation updateSubmitted by Toque on Wed, 02/04/2009 - 10:28
I'm pleased to report that over at LabourSpace 'A National Conversation for England' is the top-rated campaign with 52 supporters. However, 'Save our Bees' - a worthy campaign in itself - is catching up, so your support is required.
So if you haven't yet pledged your support, please do.
Incredibly two Labourites are opposed a national conversation for England, but, predictably perhaps, neither has taken the opportunity to leave a comment and tell us why.
P.S. You may also like to contribute to English Devolution: A Federal Britain.
Labour Space: A National Conversation for EnglandSubmitted by Toque on Tue, 01/27/2009 - 19:47
Readers of Little Man in a Toque are cordially invited to join me over at LabourSpace in campaigning for A National Conversation for England.
'A National Conversation for England' is a campaign that urges people to engage positively in discussion on the question of England: our national identity, our democracy, our governance, our future. We call for a government consultation of, and for, the people of England, so that we - the people - can determine the form of government best suited to our needs.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a state in flux. Just as unionists in 1921 were forced to rethink the logical territorial boundaries of the Union (with the secession of the Irish Free State) today's unionists are coming to terms with nationalist governments in Scotland and Wales, and new territorial limitations on the extent of Westminster power. For the Scots and Welsh devolution has proved a liberating experience, invigorating national life, political debate and their national sense of self.
For the English it is becoming increasingly apparent that devolution to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland has moved power away from Westminster in a manner that has damaged English voters, and public consultations in Wales and Scotland threaten to further weaken the Union parliament and our sense of Britishness.
In Wales the 'All Wales Convention', a cross-party initiative, is looking at extending legislative competence to the Welsh Assembly. In Scotland the SNP Government is conducting a 'National Conversation' to enable the people of Scotland to 'decide Scotland's constitutional future', with the aim of bringing forward a referendum on independence or enhanced devolved powers. And alongside the Scottish Government's initiative there is the 'Calman Commission', a unionist cross-party consultative body, tasked with reviewing the present constitutional arrangements to enable the Scottish Parliament to better serve the people of Scotland (within the union).
Not to be outdone by the peripheries the government at Westminster has launched a 'Governance of Britain' initiative to 'help us define what it means to be British', an initiative that may well result in a British Bill of Rights and various policies to strengthen our feeling of Britishness.
But what about England; what about our feeling of Englishness? Unlike the other nations of the United Kingdom we have been offered no national consultation, nor a referendum, on how we wish to be governed. None are planned, nor even proposed. Instead we watch as our partner nations in the Union are consulted again and again, with the indulgence of the Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties, with a view to further referenda which may again alter the very nature, balance and working of the Union state.
So in light of devolution and the growth in English national feeling, how should England be governed?
I believe that we - England - deserve a say because democracy works within defined territories: A contract of trust between citizens and politicians on a defined national community – we can elect you, we can remove you – is fundamental to a democracy.
Devolution to all parts of the United Kingdom except England has redefined England politically, once again, as a defined political territory…but only negatively. In a political, constitutional, sense England exists only as that part of Britain which is governed entirely from London, by the UK Government; that part of the union with no national voice and no legitimate political means of articulating its feeling of nationhood. England is the vacuum at the centre of our asymmetrically devolved family of nations, and nature abhors a vacuum.
2009 is the bicentenary of Tom Paine's death, and as such this year is the perfect anniversary for the people of England to assert "We the people", in the spirit of the Founding Fathers. It is time for the people of England to make claim to popular sovereignty; a nation not divided by ethnicity, class, geography and religion; but united as a national community, to discuss what England means to us and to determine our common future, whether inside the Union, or – if Alex Salmond gets his way - outside.
To begin with I propose an English equivalent of Scotland's Calman Commission, to be tasked with gathering evidence from around England, with a view to making recommendations to the Government on 'The English Question' – the question of how England should be governed. Following on from that an English Constitutional Convention should be established along with a Royal Commission on the Governance of England to bring forward proposals to the UK Government.
Ultimately resolution of the English Question will be determined by the people of England through a nation-wide referendum.

I just rented from netflix a pretty good IFC documentary about the spaghetti westerns, called The Spaghetti West
I know the reviews have been mixed, but I liked it. I tried to find an Amazon.com link to buy 1 for myself, but was unable to. Maybe Spike can put a link up for it. So I can buy it through him.

PHP programming in the Eclipse IDE
The PHPEclipse plugin brings the PHP scripting language to the Eclipse development environment, and the Subclipse plugin integrates version control.
The free and popular Eclipse development environment gives programmers a feature-rich editor, version control manager, and debugger on a shared GUI. Eclipse was designed as a universal IDE that is easily extensible to accommodate a variety of programming languages. The PHPEclipse plugin converts Eclipse into a full-fledged IDE for PHP-based dynamic websites. Another plugin called Subclipse integrates version control with the Subversion version management system. In this article, we describe how to set up a PHP development environment with Subversion and Eclipse.

Stephen Greenleaf Bulfinch, Post 11
The following excerpt is from the diary of Stephen Greenleaf Bulfinch.
March 2d (Sunday) 1862
Public events approach a crisis. Clarksville & Nashville, Tenn. have been surrendered to the Union forces, and from the Potomac we hear, - after some days' embargo of the telegraph, - of the advance of General Banks's Division into Virginia, probably to be accompanied by the rest of the great army. On the other hand, Davis has just been inaugurated president for six years, of the Southern states. We have not ceased to be astonished at public sentiment in England taking so much the Southern side; but signs of a change are visible.
Sunday March 16th, 1862
The war continues with great advantage on our part, especially at the west; but a week since the achievements of the rebel iron-plated steamer "Merrimack" or "Virginia" startled the land. Happily she was met and driven back by the "Monitor." We are looking with intense interest for further intelligence.
Look for post #12 in April and read Bulfinch's comments on the anniversary of the attack on Fort Sumter and the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia.

Bought a Darkrai tin and 3 Dark Explorers packs yesterday. The only things of note were Darkrai EX and a holo Eelektross (From one of the DE packs). Pretty disappointing.
However I opened the Mewtwo and Rayquaza tins a couple of weeks ago along with some Pikachu promo 3-booster blister packs and managed to pull a Houndoom and Togekiss from Undaunted as well as Terrakion from that set with the gem symbol and FA Thundurus, Tornadus, and Reshiram... and the top half of Kyogre & Groudon Legend. So not bad on that front, ended up paying for itself unlike the Darkrai tin =)
Back to ordering singles from now on though methinks

I know this really makes the Geek factor stand out, but another way to get GPS on your bike is with a Pocket PC or Palm handheld. It's pricey of you need to get a Pocket PC or Palm, but if you already have one, you can add a wireless (Bluetooth) GPS unit from DeLorme to your bike and have the Pocket PC or Palm on the handlebars. The nice thing is that you can import or export maps and GPS trails and routes to Delorme's Street Atlas or Topo USA software. More information can be found at:
I have been using this lately to keep track of rides. There are also some landmarks that have been added in such as a house where Charles Lindbergh had to stay back around 1932 when he ran out of gas over a field west of us. If you have Topo USA, you can play back the trail on the map, and it shows the bicycle symbol in 3d as it plays tracks back over the course taken. Street Atlas is handy for planning bike routes too.

First, let's define "homophobic." The word is derived from the Greek homo, meaning "same," as in "homosexual" (same sex). The word, "phobic," means fear from which we get the word, "phobia." Generally speaking, Christians are not homophobic. They're not afraid of homosexuals (though some might be). It is just that true Christians consider homosexuality a sin. Think about it this way--Christians would consider theft a sin but are not "cleptophobic." Just because we believe something is wrong, doesn't mean we are phobic anymore than someone saying Christianity is wrong makes them Christophobic.
You see, Christians are not into "correct speech" and "correct thought" advocated by the dystopian intelligensia. Just because lots of people think homosexuality is right, doesn't make it right. Moral truth isn't determined by the majority opinion or what year it is. Saying "Most believe it is okay, therefore, it is okay," or "But this is the 21st century! Homosexuality is just another lifestyle" doesn't mean it is okay. Pro-homosexuals have no standard of authority, other than their own opinions, upon which to base their pronouncement. Christians stand on the authority of the Word of God.
Nevertheless, to more accurately look and see if Christians are homophobic1, we need to further define homophobia.
- Homophobia is the term used to describe the irrational fear, hatred, aversion to or discrimination against people who are homosexual, or same-sex attracted, or who are perceived to be homosexual or same-sex attracted. - See more at: http://www.acon.org.au/youth/Homophobia/what-is-homophobia#sthash.ek1ls2yC.dpuf
"Homophobia is the term used to describe the irrational fear, hatred, aversion to, or discrimination against people who are homosexual, or same-sex attracted, or who are perceived to be homosexual or same-sex attracted." 2
- "Homophobia encompasses a range of negative attitudes and feelings toward homosexuality or people who are identified or perceived as being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT). It can be expressed as antipathy, contempt, prejudice, aversion, or hatred, may be based on irrational fear, and is sometimes related to religious beliefs."3
We can extract from the definitions that homophobia is an irrational fear, having "negative attitudes" manifested in discrimination against homosexual people. But these definitions are problematic.
- Who says what is and is not an irrational fear so that people can be labeled as being irrational?
- Who defines "negative attitude"?
- Is simply considering homosexuality a sin a "negative attitude"?
- Are all negative attitudes wrong or just the ones against homosexuality?
- Are the homosexuals trying to invade our private thoughts, so we don't even think negatively about it?
- Do the definitions imply that any person who doesn't like homosexuality is now homophobic?
- Why is religion attacked as though the standard of homosexuality is "obviously" correct and religion is not?
- Are Christians obligated to accept these definitions as being the right ones?
- How are the definitions not oppressive and accusatory against anyone who doesn't agree with homosexuality?
It is not an irrational fear to consider homosexuality a sin anymore than it is an irrational fear to consider adultery a sin, lying a sin, fornication a sin, or theft a sin, etc. We Christians believe it is wrong, but no Christians I've encountered are afraid of homosexuals. Although we do consider it to be sinful, we are not homophobic.
One last thought
The problem with answering the question as to whether or not Christians are homophobic is that it deals with the subjectivity of people's feelings and opinions as well as a one-sided set of definitions written by those sympathetic to homosexuality. The real question is whether or not homosexuality is morally correct or natural.4
