"Administrators" are those unclassified employees in positions which meet the "managerial" definition outlined in Minnesota Statute§43A.02, Subd. 28. Administrators are staff who create or formulate, influence,or manage policy or direct the college/university system. Administrators makehigh level operating decisions in the college/university system or delegatesuch decisions to others.
Administrators include the Chancellor, presidents, vice presidents/deans, vice chancellors, associate vice chancellors, directors in the Office of the Chancellor, associate/assistant vice presidents/deans,deans/directors (academic/instructional programs), associate/assistant deans/directors (academic/instructional programs) and other titles where the position has the same responsibilities.
Additionally, administrators may include employees who:
(a) report directly to the Chancellor, president, vice president, vicechancellor, associate vice chancellor or directors in the Office of theChancellor and who meet the test for "managerial employee"; or
(b) meet the test for a "managerial employee," and are responsible for academic research, academic public service responsibilities including institutional relations, alumni and foundation activities; academic program administration or academic program outreach, including curriculum development and implementation, instruction, or direction of a program having direct contact with students about financial aids, admissions and registration,placement, campus student life and development, or related educational programs and services.
(a) Employment At Will. Administrators serve at the pleasure of theChancellor/president and no provision of this Plan shall be construed to alterthe at-will nature of an administrator's employment.
Administrators in acting, interim and temporary appointments may be terminatedwithout advance notice at any time, with or without cause.
The Chancellor/president shall define and redefine the duties of administrators under his/her supervision. The Chancellor/president may at anytime reassign an administrator to another position within thecollege/university or Office of the Chancellor. Where a reassignment between acollege/university and the Office of the Chancellor is concerned, theChancellor and the president of the college/university shall consult with each otherand the individual prior to such reassignment. Reassignment between colleges/universities must be approved by the presidents of the affected institutions and must be consistent with personnel policies and contractual provisions. Such reassignment does not constitute a vacancy.
All other administrators shall be evaluated each fiscal year and a copyof the evaluation documentation shall be retained in the administrator'spersonnel file.

The context sensitive indentation is mainly controlled by the variable
Only syntactic symbols not already bound on
c-offsets-alist will
be set from styles. This means that any association you set on it, be
it before or after mode initialization, will not be changed. The
c-offsets-alist variable may therefore be used from e.g. the
Customization interface(16) to easily change indentation offsets without
having to bother about styles. Initially
c-offsets-alist is
empty, so that all syntactic symbols are set by the style system.
The offset associated with any particular syntactic symbol can be an
integer, a function or lambda expression, a variable name, a vector, a
list, or one of the following special symbols:
*, or
/. The meaning of these
values are described in detail below.
The special symbols describe an offset in multiples of the value of
By defining a style's indentation in terms of
you can change the amount of whitespace given to an indentation level
while maintaining the same basic shape of your code. Here are the
values that the special symbols correspond to:
c-basic-offset times 1
c-basic-offset times -1
c-basic-offset times 2
c-basic-offset times -2
c-basic-offset times 0.5
c-basic-offset times -0.5
When a function is used as offset, it's called an indentation function. Such functions are useful when more context than just the syntactic symbol is needed to get the desired indentation. See section 11. Indentation Functions, and 9.5.1 Custom Indentation Functions, for details about them.
If the offset is a vector, its first element sets the absolute indentation column, which will override any previous relative indentation. It won't override additional relative indentation for nested constructs, though.
The offset can also be a list, in which case it is evaluated recursively
using the semantics described above. The first element of the list that
returns a non-
nil value succeeds and the evaluation stops. If
none of the list elements return a non-
nil value, then an offset
of 0 (zero) is used(17).
So, for example, because most of the default offsets are defined in
terms of
-, and
0, if you like the general
indentation style, but you use 4 spaces instead of 2 spaces per level,
you can probably achieve your style just by changing
c-basic-offset like so(18):
M-x set-variable RET Set variable: c-basic-offset RET Set c-basic-offset to value: 4 RET
This would change
int add( int val, int incr, int doit ) { if( doit ) { return( val + incr ); } return( val ); }
int add( int val, int incr, int doit ) { if( doit ) { return( val + incr ); } return( val ); }
To change indentation styles more radically, you will want to change the offsets associated with other syntactic symbols. First, I'll show you how to do that interactively, then I'll describe how to make changes to your `.emacs' file so that your changes are more permanent.

|9.4 Styles

As an example of how to customize indentation, let's change the style of this example(19):
1: int add( int val, int incr, int doit ) 2: { 3: if( doit ) 4: { 5: return( val + incr ); 6: } 7: return( val ); 8: }
1: int add( int val, int incr, int doit ) 2: { 3: if( doit ) 4: { 5: return( val + incr ); 6: } 7: return( val ); 8: }
In other words, we want to change the indentation of braces that open a block following a condition so that the braces line up under the conditional, instead of being indented. Notice that the construct we want to change starts on line 4. To change the indentation of a line, we need to see which syntactic components affect the offset calculations for that line. Hitting C-c C-s on line 4 yields:
((substatement-open 44))
so we know that to change the offset of the open brace, we need to
change the indentation for the
substatement-open syntactic
To do this interactively, just hit C-c C-o. This prompts
you for the syntactic symbol to change, providing a reasonable default.
In this case, the default is
substatement-open, which is just the
syntactic symbol we want to change!
After you hit return, CC Mode will then prompt you for the new
offset value, with the old value as the default. The default in this
case is `+', but we want no extra indentation so enter
`0' and RET. This will associate the offset 0 with the
syntactic symbol
To check your changes quickly, just hit C-c C-q
c-indent-defun) to reindent the entire function. The example
should now look like:
1: int add( int val, int incr, int doit ) 2: { 3: if( doit ) 4: { 5: return( val + incr ); 6: } 7: return( val ); 8: }
Notice how just changing the open brace offset on line 4 is all we needed to do. Since the other affected lines are indented relative to line 4, they are automatically indented the way you'd expect. For more complicated examples, this may not always work. The general approach to take is to always start adjusting offsets for lines higher up in the file, then reindent and see if any following lines need further adjustments.
c-offsets-alist both interactively (see
the example above) and from your mode hook.
It takes two arguments when used programmatically: symbol is the syntactic element symbol to change and offset is the new offset for that syntactic element.

To make your changes permanent, you need to add some lisp code to your `.emacs' file. CC Mode supports many different ways to be configured, from the straightforward way by setting variables globally in `.emacs' or in the Customization interface, to the complex and precisely controlled way by using styles and hook functions.
The simplest way of customizing CC Mode permanently is to set the
variables in your `.emacs' with
setq and similar commands.
So to make a permanent setting of
substatement-open to 0, add
this to the `.emacs' file:
(setq c-offsets-alist '((substatement-open . 0)))
When CC Mode initializes a buffer, it will fill out
c-offsets-alist with the remaining syntactic symbols according to
the style system.
You can also use the more user friendly Customization interface, but this manual does not cover how that works.
Variables set like this at the top level in `.emacs' take effect in
all CC Mode buffers, regardless of language. The indentation style
related variables, e.g.
c-offsets-alist, that you don't set this
way get their value from the style system (see section 9.4 Styles), and they
therefore depend on the setting of
c-default-style. Note that if
you use Customize, this means that the greyed-out default values
presented there might not be the ones you actually get, since the actual
values depend on the style, which may very well be different for
different languages.
If you want to make more advanced configurations, e.g. language-specific customization, setting global variables isn't enough. For that you can use the language hooks, see 9.3 Hooks, and/or the style system, see 9.4 Styles.
nil. The value takes effect when CC Mode is
activated in a buffer for the first time in the Emacs session, so you
typically set it in your `.emacs' file and then restart Emacs.

CC Mode provides several hooks that you can use to customize the mode according to your coding style. Each language mode has its own hook, adhering to standard Emacs major mode conventions. There is also one general hook and one package initialization hook:
Note that all the language-specific mode setup that CC Mode does is done
prior to both
c-mode-common-hook and the language specific hook.
That includes installing the indentation style, which can be mode
specific (and also is by default for Java mode). Thus, any style
settings done in
c-mode-common-hook will override whatever
language-specific style is chosen by
Here's a simplified example of what you can add to your `.emacs' file to do things whenever any CC Mode language is edited. See the Emacs manuals for more information on customizing Emacs via hooks. See section D. Sample .emacs file, for a more complete sample `.emacs' file.
(defun my-c-mode-common-hook () ;; my customizations for all of c-mode and related modes (no-case-fold-search) ) (add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'my-c-mode-common-hook)

Most people only need to edit code formatted in just a few well-defined and consistent styles. For example, their organization might impose a "blessed" style that all its programmers must conform to. Similarly, people who work on GNU software will have to use the GNU coding style. Some shops are more lenient, allowing a variety of coding styles, and as programmers come and go, there could be a number of styles in use. For this reason, CC Mode makes it convenient for you to set up logical groupings of customizations called styles, associate a single name for any particular style, and pretty easily start editing new or existing code using these styles.
The variables that the style system affect are called style variables. They are handled specially in several ways:
c-style-variables-are-local-p to
nil before CC Mode is
set-from-style. Variables that are
still set to that symbol when a CC Mode buffer is initialized will be
set according to the current style, otherwise they will keep their
current value(20).
Note that when we talk about the "default value" for a style variable,
we don't mean the
set-from-style symbol that all style variables
are set to initially, but instead the value it will get at mode
initialization when neither a style nor a global setting has set its
The style variable
c-offsets-alist is handled a little
differently from the other style variables. It's an association list,
and is thus by default set to the empty list,
nil. When the
style system is initialized, any syntactic symbols already on it are
kept -- only the missing ones are filled in from the chosen style.
The style variable
c-special-indent-hook is also handled in a
special way. Styles may only add more functions on this hook, so the
global settings on it are always preserved(21).

If none of the built-in styles is appropriate, you'll probably want to
create a new style definition, possibly based on an existing
style. To do this, put the new style's settings into a list with the
following format - the list can then be passed as an argument to the
Optional base-style, if present, must be a string which is the name of the base style from which this style inherits. At most one base-style is allowed in a style definition. If base-style is not specified, the style inherits from a table of default values(24) instead. All styles eventually inherit from this internal table. Style loops generate errors. The list of pre-existing styles can be seen in 9.4.1 Built-in Styles.
The dotted pairs (variable . value) each consist of a variable and the value it is to be set to when the style is later activated.(25) The variable can be either a CC Mode style variable or an arbitrary Emacs variable. In the latter case, it is not made buffer local by the CC Mode style system.
Two variables are treated specially in the dotted pair list:

as described in 9. Customizing Indentation. These are passed to
c-set-offset so there is no need to set every syntactic symbol in
your style, only those that are different from the inherited style.

The Emacs manual describes how you can customize certain variables on a per-file basis by including a file local variable block at the end of the file. So far, you've only seen a functional interface to CC Mode customization, which can't be used there. CC Mode provides two variables allow customization of the indentation style on a per-file basis:
c-offsets-alist. When the file is visited, CC Mode will
automatically institute these offsets using
Note that file style settings (i.e.
c-file-style) are applied
before file offset settings (i.e.
c-file-offsets). Also, if
either of these are set in a file's local variable section, all the
style variable values are made local to that buffer.

For most users, CC Mode will support their coding styles with very
little need for more advanced customizations. Usually, one of the
standard styles (see section 9.4.1 Built-in Styles) will do the trick. At most,
perhaps one of the syntactic symbol offsets will need to be tweaked
slightly, or maybe
c-basic-offset will need to be changed.
However, some styles require a more flexible framework for
customization, and one of the real strengths of CC Mode is that the
syntactic analysis model provides just such a framework. This allows
you to implement custom indentation calculations for situations not
handled by the mode directly.

|9.5.4 Other Special Indentations

|[ ? ]
The most flexible way to customize CC Mode is by writing custom indentation functions, and associating them with specific syntactic symbols (see section 10. Syntactic Symbols). CC Mode itself uses indentation functions to provide more sophisticated indentation, for example when lining up C++ stream operator blocks:
1: void main(int argc, char**) 2: { 3: cout << "There were " 4: << argc 5: << "arguments passed to the program" 6: << endl; 7: }
In this example, lines 4 through 6 are assigned the
syntactic symbol. Here,
stream-op has an offset of
+, and
with a
c-basic-offset of 2, you can see that lines 4 through 6
are simply indented two spaces to the right of line 3. But perhaps we'd
like CC Mode to be a little more intelligent so that it aligns
all the `<<' symbols in lines 3 through 6. To do this, we have
to write a custom indentation function which finds the column of the first
stream operator on the first line of the statement. Here is sample
lisp code implementing this:
(defun c-lineup-streamop (langelem) (save-excursion (goto-char (cdr langelem)) (re-search-forward "<<\\|>>" (c-point 'eol) 'move) (goto-char (match-beginning 0)) (vector (current-column))))
Indentation functions take a single argument, which is a syntactic component cons cell (see section 3.1 Syntactic Analysis). The function can return an integer which is added to the running total indentation for the line, or a vector containing an integer which is an absolute column to align to. Usually an absolute column is wanted when aligning to existing text, as in this example.
The function should return
nil if it's used in a situation where
it doesn't want to make any decision. If the function is used in a list
expression (see section 9. Customizing Indentation), that will cause CC Mode
to go on and check the next entry in the list.
Now, to associate the function
c-lineup-streamop with the
stream-op syntactic symbol, we can add something like the
following to our
(c-set-offset 'stream-op 'c-lineup-streamop)
Now the function looks like this after reindenting (using C-c C-q):
1: void main(int argc, char**) 2: { 3: cout << "There were " 4: << argc 5: << " arguments passed to the program" 6: << endl; 7: }
Custom indentation functions can be as simple or as complex as you like,
and any syntactic symbol that appears in
c-offsets-alist can have
a custom indentation function associated with it.
CC Mode comes with an extensive set of predefined indentation functions, not all of which are used by the default styles. So there's a good chance the function you want already exists. See section 11. Indentation Functions, for a list of them. If you have written an indentation function that you think is generally useful, you're very welcome to contribute it; please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

Syntactic symbols aren't the only place where you can customize
CC Mode with the lisp equivalent of callback functions. Brace
"hanginess" can also be determined by custom functions associated with
syntactic symbols on the
c-hanging-braces-alist style variable.
Remember that action's are typically a list containing some
combination of the symbols
before and
(see section 4.1.1 Hanging Braces). However, an action can also be a
function which gets called when a brace matching that syntactic symbol
is entered.
These action functions are called with two arguments: the
syntactic symbol for the brace, and the buffer position at which the
brace was inserted. The action function is expected to return a
list containing some combination of
before and
including neither of them (i.e.
nil). This return value has the
normal brace hanging semantics.
As an example, CC Mode itself uses this feature to dynamically determine the hanginess of braces which close "do-while" constructs:
void do_list( int count, char** atleast_one_string ) { int i=0; do { handle_string( atleast_one_string[i] ); i++; } while( i < count ); }
CC Mode assigns the
block-close syntactic symbol to the
brace that closes the
do construct, and normally we'd like the
line that follows a
block-close brace to begin on a separate
line. However, with "do-while" constructs, we want the
while clause to follow the closing brace. To do this, we
associate the
block-close symbol with the action function
(defun c-snug-do-while (syntax pos) "Dynamically calculate brace hanginess for do-while statements." (save-excursion (let (langelem) (if (and (eq syntax 'block-close) (setq langelem (assq 'block-close c-syntactic-context)) (progn (goto-char (cdr langelem)) (if (= (following-char) ?{) (forward-sexp -1)) (looking-at "\\<do\\>[^_]"))) '(before) '(before after)))))
This function simply looks to see if the brace closes a "do-while" clause and if so, returns the list `(before)' indicating that a newline should be inserted before the brace, but not after it. In all other cases, it returns the list `(before after)' so that the brace appears on a line by itself.
Note that for symmetry, colon hanginess should be customizable by
allowing function symbols as actions on the
c-hanging-colons-alist style variable. Since no use has actually
been found for this feature, it isn't currently implemented!

|[ ? ]
You can also customize the insertion of newlines after semicolons and commas when the auto-newline minor mode is enabled (see section 4. Minor Modes).
If every function in the list is called without a determination being
made, then no newline is added. The default value for this variable is a
list containing a single function which inserts newlines only after
semicolons which do not appear inside parenthesis lists (i.e. those
that separate
for-clause statements).
c-hanging-semi&comma-criteria list.
(defun c-semi&comma-no-newlines-before-nonblanks () (save-excursion (if (and (eq last-command-char ?\;) (zerop (forward-line 1)) (not (looking-at "^[ \t]*$"))) 'stop nil)))
c-semi&comma-inside-parenlist is what prevents
newlines from being inserted inside the parenthesis list of
statements. In addition to
c-semi&comma-no-newlines-before-nonblanks described above,
CC Mode also comes with the criteria function
c-semi&comma-no-newlines-for-oneline-inliners, which suppresses
newlines after semicolons inside one-line inline method definitions
(e.g. in C++ or Java).

The Uses of Pessimism And the Danger of False Hope
ISBN13:by Scruton, Roger
Oxford University Press
Questions About This Book?
What version or edition is this?
This is the edition with a publication date of 10/7/2010.
What is included with this book?
- The New copy of this book will include any supplemental materials advertised. Please check the title of the book to determine if it should include any CDs, lab manuals, study guides, etc.
Ranging widely over human history and culture, from ancient Greece to the current global economic downturn, Scruton makes a counterintuitive yet persuasive case that optimists and idealists -- with their ignorance about the truths of human nature and human society, and their naive hopes about what can be changed -- have wrought havoc for centuries. Scruton's argument is nuanced, however, and his preference for pessimism is not a dark view of human nature; rather his is a 'hopeful pessimism' which urges that instead of utopian efforts to reform human society or human nature, we focus on the only reform that we can truly master -- the improvement of ourselves through the cultivation of our better instincts.

This Saturday at Beyond Wrestling "All Aboard" in Deer Park, NY, I will face off with Dave Cole for the first time ever in a singles match. I've known Dave for a long time and while I respect his dedication to his craft, the path that the Psychedelic Warrior has taken is a bit troubling. Needless to say, I am not taking this match lightly. Even when Dave doesn't have his head on straight he is one of the strongest technical wrestlers on the Beyond Wresting roster. When he's "on" he's practically unstoppable.
If nothing else, I've been able to prove to the likes of Davey Vega that technical ability alone don't guarantee a win against a competitor like myself. I'm the least conventional wrestler in Beyond Wrestling and it has worked to my advantage. My unique style helped me become the #1 Ranked wrestler on the roster last year. After Julian Starr scored an upset victory over Mark Angel at "Coin-Op Co-Op" at the beginning of September, I find myself once again tied for the top spot in Beyond Wrestling. To the best of my knowledge, Mark Angel isn't even scheduled to compete at "All Aboard" this weekend after his altercation with Nick Talent at "Armory Amore."
I am only one win away from one again being the best. Nobody in Beyond Wrestling has ever been able to climb back to the top after being knocked off of that pedestal. It's been a rough year for me. Now that I've been able to put the Submission Squad and RD Evans behind me, I can concentrate on moving up the ranks, and I don't have far to go. Mark Angel is nothing but a bully. He's lost the support of his own partners in the Academy Of Anatomy and with a win over Dave Cole this Saturday, he'll lose his spot to a certain superhero.

These are not the Sacramento River Cats of old. The franchise that has run roughshod over the Pacific Coast League since 2000 has struggled mightily out of the gate.
Sacramento is currently 15-16, just 4-11 on the road. That might not seem that bad, but a quick glance at the stats shows the River Cats are lucky to be that close to the .500 mark.
They have been outscored 179-165 on the season. Sacramento's 17 home runs are by far the fewest in the PCL, while the Cats' pitching staff has allowed 30 homers, tied for the fourth most. A 5.47 team ERA is the third worst in the league.
Baseball America only rates two players on the current roster as prospects, while MLB.com has no River Cats in its top 20 prospects. Oakland's farm system has dropped off in recent seasons as most of the A's top prospects are now playing in the Majors.
That lack of prospect talent, combined with what have so far been an ineffective group of veterans, have left Sacramento looking like a shadow of its former self so far. The good news for the River Cats is that no one is running away with the revamped Pacific North Division; they are only 1.5 games out of first place.
Sacramento and Albuquerque will begin a four-game series Tuesday at 6:35 p.m. at Isotopes Park. The Isotopes currently sport an identical record and were just swept by the Fresno Grizzlies.
It should be an intriguing matchup of two teams desperately in need of a turnaround. Click on the slideshow for a more in-depth look at the River Cats.
River Cats rotation
Rotation: The only member of the Sacramento starting staff that will not pitch in this series is the most familiar to Isotopes fans. Josh Lindblom, pictured, was with Albuquerque in 2010 and 2011. He has struggled (1-3, 7.64 ERA) for the River Cats this season.
Tuesday's series opener will fall to right-hander Arnold Leon (2-1, 4.34). For more on him, check out Prospect to Watch below.
Right-hander Marcus Walden (0-1, 6.23) gets the nod Wednesday. He was claimed off waivers from the Blue Jays last month.
Another right-hander, Sean Murphy (2-3, 5.77) will start Thursday. Murphy was a 33rd-round draft pick in 2010 out of Keystone College in Pennsylvania.
Right-hander Zach Neal (1-1, 4.68) starts Friday's finale. Neal was originally drafted in the 17th round by the Marlins in 2010 out of Sam Houston State. He signed with the A's organization as a free agent this past offseason.
River Cats bullpen
Bullpen: Much like their compatriots in the rotation, the Cats' relievers have had a tough season. Evan Scribner, pictured, leads the team with four saves, but also sports an ugly 6.23 ERA in eight games.
Another former Isotope, Fernando Nieve, has three saves, but his ERA of 10.03 is the worst on the team. He has been smashed for 25 hits in 11.2 innings.
The best reliever ERA-wise is Fernando Rodriguez (1-0, 0.79), who has been assigned to Sacramento after earlier appearing in a rehab assignment. The former Astro missed all of 2013 following Tommy John surgery.
The only lefty in the bullpen is former Philly Joe Savery (4-0, 4.66, 1 save). He pitched well (2-0, 3.15) in Philadelphia last season.
Another ex-big-leaguer of note is former Astro Philip Humber (1-0, 3.07). He has 18 strikeouts in 14.2 innings, but has also walked 10 batters.
River Cats lineup
Lineup: As noted in the introduction, Sacramento has hit the fewest home runs in the league despite having some players with power in their backgrounds. One of those is first baseman Nate Freiman (.243/.320/.423, 3 HR, 24 RBI), pictured, who spent all of last season in Oakland as a Rule 5 Draft pick. The Athletics wanted him to get more playing time, so he was demoted this year.
Joining him on the infield are second baseman Jose Martinez (.236/.360/.303, HR, 12 RBI), shortstop Tyler Ladendorf (.356/.472/.494, 18 RBI) and third basmean Alden Carrithers (.330/.445/.409, HR, 14 RBI).
The River Cats miss injured catcher Stephen Vogt (5-for-20 in five games). Ryan Ortiz (.228/.429/.298, 5 RBI), a good defender who does not hit much, has seen the bulk of the playing time in his absence.
In the outfield is longtime Sacramento fixture Michael Taylor (.264/.379/.529, 4 HR, 14 RBI), who unfortunately lost his spot on the 40-man roster this year. Shane Peterson (.291/.376/.402, 2 HR, 9 RBI), Jake Goebbert (.280/.376/.402, 5 HR, 22 RBI) and the struggling Kent Matthes (.208/.279/.287, HR, 12 RBI) round out the outfield-designated hitter mix.
River Cats prospect
Prospect to watch: Leon, pictured at right from his time with Team Mexico in the 2013 World Baseball Classic, is one of only two River Cats to crack Baseball America's list of top 30 A's prospects. He sits at No. 21 this season, while aforementioned outfielder Michael Taylor is No. 27.
As for Leon, the right-hander converted from starter to reliever and back to starter again last season, splitting time between Sacramento and Midland. He was 9-8 with a 4.13 ERA in 24 starts and one relief appearance.
This season Leon has had his ups and downs. He has done a good job of keeping the ball down, as only one of the 34 hits he has allowed this season has cleared the fences.
Leon is not overpowering, striking out 22 batters in 29 innings. His fastball sits around 92-93 mph. Leon's best secondary pitch is his changeup, while his slider and curveball are inconsistent.
The River Cats have started Leon four times at home this season and only twice on the road. In those road games Leon has allowed seven runs in 7.1 innings, taking a loss at Salt Lake on April 3 and a no-decision at Las Vegas on April 8.
River Cats outlook
Outlook: As the introduction said, the River Cats have been in a funk this season, especially on the road. They just took it on the chin in El Paso, suffering a sweep at the hands of the Chihuahuas.
Sacramento will get a boost from the arrival of outfielder Nick Buss, pictured. The former Isotope was designated for assignment by the Dodgers last week so right-hander Red Patterson could be added to the 40-man roster. Buss was then claimed by the Athletics on waivers and will be assigned to the River Cats.
It should certainly make for an interesting, and strange, story for Buss to be facing his fellow teammates so quickly. The same thing happened to Trayvon Robinson when the Dodgers traded him to the Mariners in 2011 and he was sent to Tacoma, with the Rainiers visiting Albuquerque just days later.
As for the series, both the Cats and Isotopes are reeling. The one thing Sacramento does not have to combat Albuquerque's lefty-heavy lineup is quality left-handed pitching. The aforementioned Joe Savery is not just the lone southpaw in the bullpen, he is the only one on the entire staff.
If the Isotopes' big left-handed bats — Joc Pederson, Mike Baxter, Clint Robinson — can take advantage, it should be an easier turnaround for Albuquerque. Of course, that all assumes that the Dodgers stop raiding the pitching staff long enough for that group to stabilize.

1964 was the year the Beatles begun to grace the American airwaves. And in that same year, they released one of their biggest singles.
It was at this time, the band released the single "A Hard Day's Night", which was released from the album of the same name, as it was with their film. Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and produced by George Martin, the song topped both the UK and US charts, and would go on to be one of the most covered songs, not only in the Beatles' catalog, but of all time, with covers from artists including Quincy Jones, Dionne Warwick, Billy Joel, and the cast of Glee. The song has also reached other avenues, such as an inclusion in a Cirque de Soleil show.
The title of "A Hard Day's Night" came from drummer Ringo Starr, who in a radio interview described how their work days sometimes carried on into the night. While that has often been agreed, different versions would occur concerning that statement, such as McCartney stating the name was mostly all in fun.
A Hard Day's Night featured the B-Side "Things We Said Today" when released in the UK, while "I Should Have Known Better" was the B-side when released in America. The success of the single (as well as the title album and movie) began a new record for the Beatles, as they would be the first to hold the number one spot in both the album and singles charts. It would be a record they would hold until Simon and Garfunkel released Bridge over Troubled Water in 1970. "A Hard Day's Night" went on to win the Grammy for Best Performance by a Vocal Group in 1965, and would later be regarded as one of the top 200 greatest songs of all time by Rolling Stone.

1D To Be Treated Like Kings At MTV VMA's
We still can't get over how BIG the boys have become. Brings a tear to our collective eye's, when only 2 years ago they hadn't even performed on the first live show of X Factor yet. Oh the nostalgia.
Right, after that little reminiscent experience, lets cut to here and NOW!
Apparently, the 1D fella's are going to be treated with the highest honour at the VMA's. They will be getting one of the biggest area's backstage and will be setting front & centre at the awards – expect them to be on stage to accept at least one award!
Of course, there is also the unforgettable performance we have all been promised. The boys are thought to be performing "What Makes You Beautiful", because they want to go out with a bang to close up this chapter of their careers.
The "Up All Night" era is nearly over *sad face*.
Can you believe we're about to have another single and another album and then another tour (and then another tour), DVD and then and *breathes* – phew so much to look forward too.
Although you've heard "What makes you beautiful" thousands of times before, 1D want this to be the most elaborate production of the song ever, as a thank you to faithful directioners.
Naww, so sweet.
Make sure you cast your vote for One Direction in the VMA's here. And it's very, very close in the running for "Most Share-Worthy Video" between our boys and Justin Bieber. Tweet the following to cast your vote for that:
@1direction_x #voteonedirection #voteonedirection http://t.co/lAcoUvGl #voteonedirection
We can't wait to see them rock the stage. The reception they got at the Logie Awards in Australia was unbelievable, with security said to be the tightest it has ever been.

TEMPE, Ariz.- Arizona State head baseball coach Pat Murphy has been named coach of the Dutch Olympic Baseball Team for the Sydney 2000 Games, Dutch Baseball Federation President Berry Eijgendaal announced.
"This is a great opportunity and I'm excited to be a part of the 2000 Olympics in Sydney," Murphy said. "I'm honored to be in this position and look forward to the challenges ahead."
The 2000 Pac-10 Coach of the Year, Murphy recently completed his sixth season at the helm of the ASU program, guiding the Sun Devils to a 44-15 record and their third postseason appearance in four years. With a 605-294-3 record in 16 seasons, he is the winningest active coach under the age of 43.
No stranger to international baseball, Murphy's ties to the Dutch team stretch back more than a decade. In the summer of 1987, he led Holland to the European Championship, a victory that qualified the squad for the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea. Murphy was asked to coach the team at the Seoul Olympics, but declined so he could return to the University of Notre Dame, where he had recently been named the new head coach.
The Dutch Olympic Team will compete under Murphy's guidance in a pre-Olympic tournament in Haarlem (the Netherlands) August 4-14. The tournament field includes the U.S. National Team, comprised of college players. The Dutch contingent will leave Holland for Sydney on September 2. Murphy's wife, Argee, is expecting the couple's first child sometime in late August or early September.

Hi-Tech Car Lockpick Puts Car Manufacturers on Red Alert
A wave of car theft that started in February might completely change the contactless car lock industry as we know it.
A number of incidents caught on security cameras in Long Beach, California, reveal individuals equipped with something that looks like a high-tech wireless lockpick who approach passenger doors and open them in a matter of seconds without triggering the alarm.
According to a report on Today Magazine, neither police nor car vendors can explain how this is possible, even though thieves have compromised a number of car models throughout the first half of the year.
"This is bad in the sense we're stumped," said Long Beach Deputy Police Chief David Hendricks. "We are stumped and we don't know what this technology is."
On the other side, security experts are also puzzled by how easy it is to break into a car equipped with a remote-controlled locking system.
"This is really frustrating because clearly they've figured out something that looks really simple and whatever it is they're doing, it takes just seconds to do," said Jim Stickley, co-Founder TraceSecurity Inc.. "And you look and you go, 'That should not be possible.'"
Since their introduction in the '50s, car key fobs have undergone major improvements in terms of security. The signals the keys send to the authorized car are not reusable – a car key can generate more than one trillion unique signals, so sniffing an unlocking operation to reuse a legit code is not an option. The locking subsystems in modern cars are synchronized with the key via a pseudo-random number generator that is similar to the one-time-password device you use in banking transactions, so one car will only open its doors to the key that has been synchronized with it.
One thing is sure: camera footage shows that the device has failed on some brands such as Ford and Cadillac, and Acuras have welcomed the intruders without much resistance.
Until police figure how the attackers circumvented the electronic locks, here's a piece of free advice: don't leave any valuable goods in the car. Since thieves are apparently not interested in stealing the car but rather raiding valuables, that should keep you safe for the moment.

well… i have a recorded clip filmed in front of my house 2 years ago … a men passes near the cars (3 cars different brands ww, opel, mercedes ) and easily opens them as he pass :) so is not so new. he took everything that had value and easy be taken.
Saw this article on a few Us websites … they have no idea what the device is , and at the same time , they cannot stop it …
It looks like the device works on the passenger door only for some reason … :-/
Bogdan Botezatu
There is a good reason for opening the passenger door: this is not a limitation of the tool, as it opens the centralized unlocking system, so every door gets unlocked. I believe that this has something to do with ease of access: since you're not going to steal the car (because you can't trick the immobilizer theft deterrent system), it's easier to open the passenger door to just steal things from the car – you don't have the steering wheel in front of you and you can also search the glove compartment on the passenger side). It's just a supposition, but it would make sense.

Agility: Is a very fluid athlete. Moves well for his size. Loose hips. Able to change direction easily. Good lateral agility. Sinks well in his hips. Light on his feet. Very naturally athletic.
Blocking: Is an effort-player and this shows when run blocking. Would be best used in motion as to give him the best angles and a head start at the defender. Is a lean body type but has good strength. Experience in run blocking will be key to early success and playing time in NFL. Comes to the league with a good understanding of the blocking game. Like all Wisconsin blockers, he's been well coached.
Hands: Catches like a wide receiver. Has big hands and can snag the ball out of the air. Extends his arms away from his body and makes the catch with his hands. Tracks the ball very well over either shoulder. Has shown the ability to go low for balls or grab them at their high-point. Will drop the occasional pass in traffic. Needs to be more mentally tough in traffic.
Release: Fires off the line very fast. Able to get through the defender's cushion quickly and can get behind the defense. Does a good job selling his block and then releasing. Has shown he can chip and peel to his route.
Route Running: A very good deep threat. Runs a nice seam route. Will sell play-action nicely before getting into his route. Great quickness and size. Is a big target running over the middle or up the seam. Can shake off linebackers and run past them. Is too big to be covered by a nickel defender.
Speed: Has the speed to get deep. Can really explode up the seam and stretch a defense. Doesn't appear to have a second-gear, but his first is fast enough.
Size: Is a little leaner than most would prefer but he's an athletic tight end who makes his money in space. Has a great build and is very well put together.
Final Word: Lance Kendricks goes down as one of our favorite tight ends to scout in a long time. He's a great athlete, and shows it by making plays downfield in the passing game and running after the catch.
He's also a fighter in the trenches and surprisingly good as a blocker. He'll never be amazing as an in-line blocker but he gives max effort and really works to secure his blocks.
Kendricks leaves Wisconsin ready for the NFL. His ability as a blocker, coupled with his size and speed, will make him a top 100 pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.

Buck Tarnowski applies barbeque sauce with an unusual kitchen brush as Mike Drew holds the massive amount of sauce used on chicken and ribs for a crowd of about 400 people. The two were among several volunteers from the Dry Dock that help Simple Jerry's with the cooking during the annual Cook-Off for Cancer in Ontonagon Saturday.
ONTONAGON — The weather went from hot to icy at the annual Cook-Off for Cancer at the Ontonagon Recreation building Saturday.
Seven teams of cooks started their grills and smokers Friday night to be ready for the Saturday competition of barbecued chicken, ribs and beef brisket. The meal, open to the public, also included a full dinner.
Funds raised from the competition and dinner benefit the Ontonagon County Cancer Association.
Tom Domitrovich chaired the benefit, along with numerous volunteers from all segments of the county. In addition to six competing teams, Domitrovich said they were helped by a group of men from the Dry Dock in Ontonagon. "We could not serve all these dinners without them," he said.
Eight judges tasted the entries.
The overall winner was Simple Jerry's, which also won the Booyah which was judged by public tasting before the meal. Simple Jerry's also scored first place in the chicken and ribs categories.
Second place in chicken was won by the Barbi-Q's (the Urbis and Pantti family) with third to the Firesteel Cooks (Lewis family.)
Fuzzy P (Burgess family) took second in ribs and third to the Firesteel.
The Firesteel also won the brisket competition with Fuzzy P in second place and Barbi-Q's in third.

The roads of Glenn County were rumbling with the sound of motorcycles Saturday as hundreds of riders gathered to raise money for a permanent memorial to honor the City of Orland's fallen veterans.
Eight years ago there were only 14 riders for the inaugural "Motor-Icicle Run," this year they numbered about 250.
The riders gathered at the Orland Fire Department before heading out on a hundred-mile tour through the rural roads of Glenn County and then back again for a chili dinner.
Their goal, to raise money for a permanent memorial to the 67 Orland veterans who gave their lives in defense of the nation.
And while many riders came from Glenn County and Chico, ride organizer Bob Pasero says they came from all over Northern California.
"Actually from Sacramento all the way north to Redding," Pasero says. "I have one rider I understand from Dunsmuir here. Which means they either came down last night or they got up awfully bright and early this morning and rode down through the Sacramento River canyon to be here in support of our fundraising efforts to build a memorial for our fallen heroes."
For Pasero, who is also the former police chief of Orland, the annual ride is a labor of love.
"Once a year I get to ride with a couple hundred of my closest and dearest friends and it is always a thrill. It is always a thrill when you have this many bikes together."
Rider Ed Schnurbusch, who came up from Willows, agrees.
"Aw it's great, especially on a day like this," he says."Couldn't ask for more fun. It's going to be a beautiful day. [I'm] happy to help out."
But it's called the "Motor-Icicle Run" for a reason.
President Tracey Quarne of Orland Pride, the group that puts the fundraiser on, says with the ride held in the heart of winter the riders typically have to bear the elements.
"The first time this ran the temperature was in the 30s and it was raining," Quarne says.
Fortunately Saturday's forecast called for sunny skies and highs in the 70s, which may have helped the huge turnout.
"No icicles today," Schnurbush says with a laugh. "Sunburns, maybe."
And with conditions ideal and Orland's finest leading the way, off they went to tour Glenn County.
Veterans looked on, waving and even saluting farewells.
Veterans happy to be honored by motorcycle riders who are similarly happy to get out and raise money for those who gave up so much fighting for this nation.

CLEVELAND — The Cavaliers will work on impressive wins later. Sunday night, they were satisfied with just getting a victory.
Cleveland still has a lot of work to do before the playoffs start, but it halted a three-game losing streak by coming from behind to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 91-88 at sold-out Quicken Loans Arena.
"It's a little frustrating at times because we have guys going in and out of the lineup,†said LeBron James, who hit the game-winning hoop with 19.3 seconds left. "Hopefully, we can continue to get better.â€
James led the Cavaliers, who had lost six of their last nine games, with 26 points, nine rebounds and nine assists. After doing next to nothing in the first half, he bounced back for 20 points, five rebounds and six assists in the second.
Cleveland (41-33) also got a huge game from point guard Delonte West, who had two huge fourth-quarter 3-pointers among his 18 points. West, back after missing one game with an inflamed tendon in his foot, added six rebounds and a season-high 11 assists.
"Delonte was huge,†Cleveland coach Mike Brown said. "He made a couple game-winning plays for us. … He can be big for us. He's athletic and he's a good player in a lot of different ways.â€
Zydrunas Ilgauskas added 14 points for the Cavaliers and Joe Smith provided 13 points and eight rebounds off the bench, but there are still plenty of reasons for concern.
Devin Brown, who got the starting nod at shooting guard, went a dismal 3-of-13 from the field, while Anderson Varejao started at power forward in place of Ben Wallace (back spasms) and had just two points on 1-of-5 shooting.
On top of that, Daniel Gibson experienced soreness in the left ankle that caused him to miss six weeks and left the game for good late in the third quarter. Sasha Pavlovic, who had been starting at shooting guard, didn't play a minute and often didn't even get off the bench to join the team huddle during timeouts. Damon Jones played four minutes, but only because Gibson got hurt, while Wally Szczerbiak was 0-of-4 from the field in 10 more awful minutes.
"We're playing OK,†James said. "We've had games where we could have played better. Like tonight, we had another lineup change. We've had so many lineup changes the last month and a half, it's hard to catch a rhythm. We have eight games left, so we'll see what happens.â€
The Cavaliers caught a rhythm just in time against the athletic and free-wheeling Sixers (37-37), who led by 11 and had a 14-0 edge in fastbreak points late in the first half.
Cleveland, which didn't attempt its first free throw until 5:53 was left in the third period, held the Sixers to 40 points in the second half. More importantly, the Cavaliers won the battle of fastbreak points 13-4 after intermission.
"(Mike Brown) harped on that at halftime,†James said. "We needed to shut them down if we wanted to give ourselves a chance to win. That's what we did.â€
The Sixers, who didn't commit a turnover until midway through the second quarter, wound up with 14. That, in large part, was why the Cavaliers were able to go on a 20-5 run that spanned the second and third periods.
"We tried to confuse them a little bit,†West said. "We put some smaller, quicker defenders on their wings and a bigger guard on (point guard) Andre Miller.â€
Philadelphia, which had won 19 of its last 25 games, still led 88-85 and had the ball following a Devin Brown turnover with 1:37 to go. Andre Iguodala (19 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists) couldn't score on a drive, however, and West buried his second three in a span of 1:14 to tie the game at 88.
"You just sit there and the ball comes to you,†West said of learning to play with James. "The clouds open up. You've got enough time to get your toes straight, your elbow in, eyes on the rim and sometimes, clunk, you miss it.
"This game is extremely mental. Anything that keeps you positive, that keeps you aggressive, you've got to ride it. It's something I will try to build on.â€
The Cavaliers will try to do likewise, but victory didn't come easy.
After West's game-tying three, the Sixers missed two shots before the ball went out of bounds to Cleveland with 40.6 seconds left.
James then drove right and hit a running bank-shot over Iguodala to put the Cavaliers up 90-88 with 19.3 seconds to go. Louis Williams missed a 3-pointer on the Sixers' next possession, and Smith split a pair of free throws with 6.1 ticks on the clock to put Cleveland up three.
With the Sixers out of timeouts, James astutely used a foul the Cavaliers had to give with 2.9 seconds left, then tipped the ball out of bounds with 2.3 seconds to go. Iguodala then caught a pass, pump-faked James off his feet and had a potential game-tying 3-pointer rim out.
"We've had a couple tough losses,†Smith said. "We just wanted to try and bounce back and take care of business on our home court.â€

One of our very own local bands Crossing Rubicon is opening for a national act at Toad's Place in New Haven, CT on Friday August 22, 2014 at 8pm.
Crossing Rubicon is one of those bands that every time you hear them play, the music brings life to the stage. They blend hard hitting, heavy riffs with melodic vocals and guitar harmony to create their own brand of metal.
What we know today began as a two man project in 2009 by Scotty Anarchy and Pete Ahern (Red China Blue), sadly Pete stepped away from the band in the summer of 2010. They enlisted Brandi Hood on drums to be the heart beat of the band, Zach Lambert signed on to complete the guitar attack. In 2010 Jeff Diablo joined to round out the lineup. In March of 2011 Matt Douglas stepped in and completed Crossing Rubicon. In late 2013 Bassist Jeff Diablo stepped away and was replaced by Steven Riccio. With out any of the members new and old they would not be where they are today.
Success continued through the last couple of years and the band landed opening slots with Motley Crue, Bret Michaels, and Tantric. They have also shared the stage with many national notables including Crossfade, Nonpoint, Saving Abel, Pop Evil, Rev Theory, and Beatalica as well as earning the sole opening slot on Queensryche's 30th anniversary tour in Hartford, CT. Today the band is working on it's full length debut.
The Band's first EP, In Pains of Sleep, was released in March at a sold out local show. Crossing Rubicon writes music often described as a throwback to the classic metal but thrive on modern rock sound mixing Avenge Sevenfold with Alice In Chains. Throw in the guitar pyrotechnics of Black Label Society and the rumble of a Sherman tank...Crossing Rubicon 2014!
We will be looking forward to interviewing each one of the band members in a future article, please subscribe so you don't miss out on what each one of them has to say.

Zach - Guitar/Vocals

There is a definition for truth-functional completness for a set of propositional connectives. Is there a definition for truth-functional completness of a set of quantifiers and propositional connectives ?

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
There cannot be a direct analogue, because a formula with quantifiers in it can depend on the truth values of infinitely many atomic propositions. There are $2^{2^{\kappa}}$ different possible truth functions of $\kappa$ inputs, and when $\kappa$ is infinite this much larger than the number of possible formulas one can build from any finite set of connectives. So in this sense there is no complete finite set of quantifiers and connectives.
I suppose one could consider complete sets containing (uncountably) infinitely many different quantifiers, but that's not very practical.

You may not know just how easy it is to make enchiladas. In fact, there is a saying amongst Mexicans which goes, "these are not enchiladas." This means whatever they are referring to is not an easy task. Enchiladas can be meat, fish, cheese vegetables, or any combination of these things, rolled up in fried corn tortillas, smothered in enchilada sauce and then baked. The sauce is usually a smoky chili flavor. The recipe below calls for a prepared enchilada sauce in a can just to make these treats super easy. The word enchilada means "filled with chili" in Spanish. Here is a recipe for an enchilada appetizer. You make the enchiladas as usual. Then, cut them into bite sized portions which you can prepare ahead of time and keep in the refrigerator. You can reheat them just before you are ready to serve. Then, place them on a platter surrounding a bowl of dipping sauce easily made with sour cream, some enchilada sauce, and some spices. These are delicious and easy.
Visit Cubb Foods in Mankato for their international foods selection. They have the best aisle of international foods around: 1200 S. Riverfront Dr., Mankato, MN 56001
Spinach and onion enchilada bites:
15 corn tortillas
¼ C. canola oil
1 clove garlic, chopped
½ yellow onion, chopped
8 C. spinach leaves, washed and stemmed
2 Tbsp olive oil
3 C. shredded cheddar cheese
1 can enchilada sauce, mild
Heat the canola oil in a skillet and fry the tortillas in the hot oil. Place the tortillas on a plate with paper towels to soak the oil. Do not let them get too crispy because they won't roll up properly. In another pan, heat the olive oil. Sauté the onion and garlic until the onion is clear. Add the spinach and let that cook for a couple of minutes. Turn down the heat. Don't let the spinach wilt too much or get over cooked. It is still going in the oven. Fill the tortillas with cheese, spinach, onion and garlic and roll them into the shape of an enchilada. Place in an oven safe dish. Once you have a layer of these, pour on the sauce. Then, create another layer and pour on the sauce. Place in the oven at 350 degrees for twenty minutes. Cut into bite sized pieces and reheat just before people arrive. Then, serve with a dipping sauce.

5 Must Have Web Tools For Entrepreneurs
by Tim Jahn on May 31, 2011
These days, there are tons of tools out there solving all sorts of problems. There are a few I find myself using on a daily basis to help run my business more efficiently and successfully. I'm always on the lookout for new practical tools too, so if you know of any, let me know in the comments below!
1. CardMunch
I've expressed my love for this handy dandy iPhone app before, but trust me, it's definitely worth expressing again. Back in the day, I had a little box full of business cards I'd collect from networking events, conferences, and the like.
Months down the road, I'd remember there might be somebody in there I needed to contact. I'd open the box….and do nothing. How was I supposed to sort through hundreds of business cards (which weren't in any particular order) to find a specific person?
Enter CardMunch. This slick iPhone app scans your business cards, transcribes them and files them in your CardMunch account (both in your iPhone app and on the CardMunch site, where you can neatly export all your contacts). All for free (thanks to their recent acquisition by LinkedIn).
2. Evernote
Sometimes I feel like Evernote is written about to death, but then I discover people who have legitimately never heard of this useful app before. So this is for those people.
Evernote is quite simply the best place to jot any thoughts you have throughout your day. You can do this by typing your notes into Evernote, taking a picture, recording your voice, or even downloading PDFs into the app. They have apps on all the major mobile platforms, as well as desktop versions and a web version.
Simply put, you can access all your thoughts on any device. This app is perfect for jotting down your next business idea, meeting notes, potential blog posts, etc. A must have for sure!
3. Dropbox
Dropbox is the best way to share files among your business partners and collaborators. Stella and I use Dropbox religiously to store all of our files for our events for entrepreneurs, from sponsor logos to event presentations to sponsorship packets to our pre-show music.
Dropbox has apps for all the major mobile platforms and integrates seamlessly with your desktop by simply creating a Dropbox folder that you sync your files to. I've yet to find a more convenient, easy way to share files.
4. MailChimp
If you have any email marketing needs whatsoever, MailChimp is your monkey. We use them for our mailing list and as we continue to grow, MailChimp is right there with us. Their free account lasts forever and gives you up to 2,000 subscribers! 2,000!
Their interface is super easy to use, their emails always go through (never have bounce problems), and their reports rock. Creating an account, creating a subscription form, and sending out emails takes no time at all. Every entrepreneur needs the MailChimp monkey at their side.
5. Basecamp
Basecamp is another tool Stella and I use almost daily to plan our events for entrepreneurs. It's a simple, easy to use web based project management tool created by 37signals.
We centralize our communication in Basecamp and organize it all, so we can easily keep track of what needs to be done with each event, who's doing what, what's missing, etc. I really don't know where we'd be without Basecamp. It beats sending emails back and forth any day.

We've all been told that stress can be bad for our bodies but did you know how bad? According to Dr. Doug Nemecek, the national senior medical director for CIGNA's behavioral health business, a person's mood, or state of happiness, can be related to the amount of stress that person is feeling and how well he or she copes with that stress. A person might be stressed by work pressures, or at home by family and personal matters.
Regardless of the cause, there are a few ways that people can cope with stress, that include practicing yoga. Yoga is often associated with meditative of religions like Hinduism and Buddhism and the Mayo Clinic recently reported that yoga has plural benefits, including increased fitness levels, weight loss, stress reduction and management of chronic health conditions.
Chicago Now's breathe body balance blog recently shared several misconceptions about yoga and what others can do to challenge them. Top reasons that people resist practicing yoga is because they think that yoga is religion-based, requires optimal flexibility and that yoga is not "a workout." In reality, anyone can practice yoga, regardless of their faith and fitness level.
If you're interested in learning more about yoga please visit Yoga Chicago and find a class in your neighborhood to try out.

Stay Fit in 30-Minutes
A lot of people say they don't have time to exercise. Even doctors can't find the time!
So, if you're hard-pressed to get a work out in. Angela Stovall, a master trainer at 24 Hour Fitness in Chino, California, put together this 30-minute work out:
Five minutes cardio warm-up: five minutes walking lunges, then alternate between 10 walking lunges and 10 abdominal crunches for three sets.
Hop on the treadmill for five minutes at 3.5 mph: simultaneously doing three-to-five pound bicep curls and shoulder presses. Watch your form.
Then to the mat for 10-20 push-ups: alternate with 10-20 tricep bench dips, three sets of each.
Run stairs or jump on a cardio stair stepper for 5 minutes: then finish with 25 no-weight standing squats and 50 side bends.
This is cute. But 30 minutes doesn't work for me. Between Yoga classes, lifting weights and running on and off the treadmill, I exercise WAY more than 30 measly minutes.
Oh, and try training like a Spartan or a U.S. Navy Seal. Eye of the tiger baby!

More About:
For four folks or three Cajuns (we really like dis stuff):
2 lbs. Louisiana crawfish tails
2 sticks of butter
2 medium onions
1 small bell pepper
1 rib of celery
2 cloves of garlic
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon of Tony Chacheres's creole seasoning or equivalent
1/2 teaspoon of Cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon if from Louisiana
1 heaping tablespoon of corn starch dissolved in cool water
• Melt butter in an alloy or steel pan. Cast iron turns the tails blue. Blue seafood is an unacceptable color for most folks.
• While butter is melting, not burning, chop all your vegetables.
• Add vegetables and sauté until they start to become clear.
• Add dry seasoning.
• Add tails and only cook for 10 minutes under medium heat; they are 90 percent water and will just about disappear on you.
• Add corn starch dissolved in cool water to thicken (tighten' if Cajun) to desired consistency.
• Serve over Mid-South grown rice.
• Despite current beliefs not every Cajun dish starts with a roux.
• Serve with a bottle of your favorite Louisiana hot sauce; there are a lot of displaced Cajuns across this great land, and one is never quite certain of his ancestry.

When running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, my Acer Aspire 4530 laptop and its PCI temperatures are around 70 degrees Celsius not even an exterior fan does anything about it. How can I make it run cooler?
When it comes to temperatures there are usually very few sensors in your computer - it'e either the CPU, the Hard Drive or the Motherboard (the chipset or, sometimes the video chip). A PCI is just the interface by which any of these components are connecting, so it could be either one of them. Try to intall a program called
There are other programs that will allow you to scan and monitor the temperature of various components, but you have to figure out which part is causing the overheating -
Some drivers can make your components run beyond their regular idle speed and cause overheating, but it could also be at the hardware level. Let me know when you find out.

Fans are unsure about the quality of "Big Brother" this year. Some will tell you it is one of the best seasons in recent years, while others will tell you it is boring and predictable. The defunct "Bomb Squad" has been running the house, with Derrick and Frankie at the helm. This is week five, and the nominees are Jocasta and Victoria. According to a July 26 report from Big Brother Buddy on Facebook, Hayden is the winner of the "Power of Veto." The new plan is to pull one of the nominees off the block and back door Amber.
This season the house guests are sending the women packing. "Big Brother" is a game of stamina and decision-making, but it looks like there is one group running the house. Frankie is the reigning "Head of Household" and has been planning a backdoor scenario since the beginning. Amber and Caleb are the targets, and it looks like Amber will be out the door this week. She is by far the strongest female competitor, which means the women have a slim chance at winning this season once she is gone.
Since Hayden was picked to play the "Power of Veto" by Victoria, he is going to use it to save her. The nominees will then become Amber and Jocasta. Several "Big Brother" fans are upset because they feel like Caleb would be the better choice for a backdoor. Amber has proven over and over again that she is a competitor, saving herself on more than one occasion. When will someone dethrone the "Detonators" and gain control of the house?
The live vote and eviction will happen this Thursday on "Big Brother." It is expected to be a 9-0 vote, with the entire house being in agreement. Donny seems to be the only one playing his own game, but will likely vote the way the house does to lessen the target on his back. Jury is coming soon and it looks like it will consist of mostly men.

Video footage shows emergency services scraping dirt from the man's body, who was was still buried up to the chest, before hauling him out of the grave.
Record TV said he has suffered from psychiatric problems, according to his nephew.
