The popular show "Sherlock" will be returning and fans are excited to hear this news. This show became an early fan favorite when it aired on BBC. On Thursday, Yahoo shared the news that it will be coming back for a fourth season but this is not a big full season. Honestly they have always done stranger seasons for this series.
They won't actually be back on until December of 2015. That is a really long time before it will hit television. This will be a Christmas special that hopefully will go well. After that, they are going to end up also doing a fourth season. It is only three episodes long though. These will air sometimes in early 2016 but there is no exact date yet for these episodes.
Both of the main actors are working hard on other shows. That is what has them so busy and is part of the reason that this show can't actually air any sooner. Martin Freeman is working on the new "Hobbit" movie right now. Benedict Cumberbatch is working on "Black Mass" and is about to start filming "Blood Mountain." They will find a way to get "Sherlock" done as well though.
They are planning to start working on the show in January of 2015. Of course they are already working on ideas and what to expect but there are no spoilers out yet. They are still in the very early stages of planning and nothing at all has been released. If spoilers do come out, then it won't be for a few more months.
Variety shared a bit more about this new season of "Sherlock." Producer Steven Moffat did share that whatever happens next for Sherlock and John is the last thing that fans would expect from them. That spoiler alone is enough to get fans speculating and wondering where this show is going to go in 2015 when it returns to BBC.

Greek Parliament Approves Austerity Measures
Meanwhile, rioters occupied the streets in Athens.
As strikers rioted in Athens, the Greek Parliament voted 155 to 138 to approve extreme austerity measures necessary to prevent the nation from running out of money in the coming weeks. Greece owes 340 billion euro in debt, or 31,000 euro a citizen. The austerity measures, which included drastic cuts and tax hikes, were necessary to secure a 110 billion euro loan from the IMF.

VIA's Printed Timetable
Derek Boles <derekboles@...>
A few days ago, I picked up a copy of VIA's new printed timetable. Even though it's dated December 1, it wasn't available for most of December. The cover shows two delighted looking female models (one white; the other of indeterminate ethnic origin; this is Toronto after all) wheeling their luggage through the Great Hall at Union Station. At the Travellers Aid counter sits someone who's face has been blurred. I guess he didn't sign a model release or he wasn't pretty enough. Anyway, the departures board above is totally blanked out except for a notice reading "NO SERVICE AVAILABLE VIA BRANTFORD LONDON. Hardly seems to be the sort of thing that VIA would want to feature so prominently. But it does show the disconnect between the people that prepare this material and the actual operations.

College Hockey:Caruso, Buckeyes Shut Out Holy Cross
OSU To Face Miami In Ohio Classic Title Game
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Dave Caruso pocketed his third shutout of the season, the ninth of his career, as the Ohio State Buckeyes blanked the Holy Cross Crusaders, 4-0, to advance to Friday's Ohio Hockey Classic title game against intrastate rival Miami.
"Holy Cross played a good game," said OSU head coach John Markell. "We knew they were going to come in and kind of blitz us with their speed and work ethic. We knew it was going to come for 60 minutes, which it did.
"I thought we had opportunities to score some goals, probably more than just the two we were ahead in the second period, but they also had the opportunity to make it two-to-two on two wide-open breakaways."
Caruso faced two breakaways on his first nine shots through two periods of play, both coming in the closing moments of each respective period. Crusader Jon Landry took the puck and zipped toward Caruso after exiting the penalty box at 19:08 in the first, and Tanner Fogarty broke in alone, shorthanded, with less than a minute to go in the second. Caruso used his pad to save Landry's shot, and closed his five-hole in the nick of time against Fogarty.
Holy Cross goaltender Tony Quesada was no slouch in the loss, making 40 saves as the Buckeyes outshot the Crusaders 44-14.
"Tony's a good goaltender and he did a good job of controlling his rebounds," said Crusader head coach Paul Pearl.
"You know you have a fighter's chance when you have a couple of breakaways, one at one-nothing and one at two-nothing. That's the type of game that you have to play when you come in like this, hang in there, but then in the second half of the game I think we took the majority of those penalties and that's what you can't do."
The Buckeyes took advantage of Holy Cross's penalty trouble, netting power-play goals in the second and the third.
Mathieu Beaudoin's seventh of the season gave OSU a 1-0 lead after one, the pretty end of a two-on-one breakaway with Dave Barton left, Beaudoin right.
At 14:09 in the second, Sean Collins let go a blast from the left point after taking a feed from Rod Pelley at right point on the power play to make it 2-0 after two. Kenny Bernard and Matt Waddell registered third-period goals, Bernard's when he was pushed into the net by a Crusader defender as Sam Campbell was also crashing the net, and Waddell's on the power play from Dan Knapp and Collins.
"We didn't play very disciplined tonight," said Pearl, "and if you're going to beat a team like that you're going to have to stay out of the box and play five-on-five and not turn the puck over."
In all, the Buckeyes were 2-for-8 on the power play, the Crusaders 0-for-4.
The game was Caruso's first since a 2-2 tie against Alabama-Huntsville Dec. 3, after which he had knee surgery. Sophomore Ian Keserich earned two wins for the Buckeyes against visiting Union Dec. 10-11.
"I think Caruso's always up to the challenge," said Waddell,. "Even our freshman year, when he was backup goalie, he was always working hard. I think Ian kind of challenged him there and he stepped up to the challenge really well."
The Buckeyes (10-6-2, 6-4-1 CCHA) will face Miami in Friday's 8:05 p.m. OHC title game, while the Crusaders (9-4-1, 7-2-1 AHA) will play Rensselaer in the 5:05 p.m. consolation game.
"Any time it's a game against Miami, we're always up for it," said Waddell. "It's as big a rivalry for us as it is playing Michigan. We love playing against them, and it's always an intense game."
Said Markell, "It's our opportunity to play the No. 2 team in the nation. This was set up to be an Ohio championship. It's nice to see that Miami's here. They had a lot of fans, and hopefully we'll have a good crowd here tomorrow night and show these people what collegiate hockey's all about."

Villa La Paws, a facility committed to pet day care and boarding, has added a fourth location with its recent acquisition of Hillside Unleashed, a luxury dog hotel in north Scottsdale. The new location, at 11485 N. 136th Street, Suite 101, will now be known as Villa La Paws Unleashed. This marks the first of two additional locations planned for Villa La Paws Unleashed.
Mark Carr, the owner and operator of the new Villa La Paws Unleashed franchise, purchased the Hillside Unleashed facility from owners Dr. Brad Rosonke and Cathy Rosonke.
"Hillside Unleashed set the bar for top-quality pet care in north Scottsdale, and we're looking forward to continuing that while introducing the Villa La Paws' stress-free approach to the community," said Carr, owner and operator of Villa La Paws Scottsdale. "This location also represents the first expansion of the franchise in our own backyard, and I'm looking forward to being a part of the growing Villa La Paws network."
Villa La Paws continues it's commitment to creating a stress-free environment with cageless boarding and 24-hour staff on the premises. Their implementation of webcams allows for pet owners to check in at any time, ensuring that they also have a stress-free vacation.
"Converting Hillside Unleashed to the Villa La Paws brand was an easy choice because of company's values, host of services and stress-free approach to pet care," Cathy Rosonke said. "The integration of services will be a tremendous value to existing and new customers."
There are plans to expand Villa La Paws franchise to yet another location in the Phoenix area soon. Locations consist of Phoenix, Glendale, now Scottsdale and a fourth to be disclosed soon. They also have day care facilities in the New Jersey area.

I get really nervous when someone I know asks me how to "handle" this or that with their small child. "Um," I want to say. "Hold tight for a few days/weeks/months and he'll stop doing that and start doing something else." But I feel like that's really doom-y advice to give a new mom, and not very encouraging or helpful.
So far as I can tell, most everything that a small child (under 7? maybe?) does is a phase. Those phases are consistent with the kid's basic personality; i.e. a kid who is really energetic will probably be the one trying to kill themselves by climbing bookcases, or the kid who is really sensitive will be the one who refuses to eat any "mixed" food. But they're phases. They come and go. It almost doesn't seem to matter what parents do; whether they jump on problems with charts and plans or ignore them utterly, the phase comes, the phase goes.
That's what I'm thinking when a mom wonders how she can handle her kid biting, or how she can handle him waking up at 4:45 on the dot every morning. It doesn't matter how you handle it! The kid's going to stop when he's ready, or start when he's ready, so don't wear yourself out and try to enjoy the ride as much as possible.
Maybe this comes of me having such an un-malleable kid, who fights against me every time I put pressure to bear. If I had a kid who bent more easily to my will, maybe I'd feel like my will is actually good for something. As it is, I'm just trying to relax and enjoy her brief little orbit around my planet. She changes so fast without me doing a thing that it's all I can do to even keep up with knowing her, much less change her.
She said to me at the kitchen table last week as she was coloring, "Today a man, a boy, he helped with class, and he looked like Justin Bieber and he had lots of muscles."
"We could call him, Mister Muscles," I suggested, but inside I was shocked. You know who Justin Bieber is? You noticed a man's muscles? And you're telling me about them in a giggly way that lets me know you were crushed out on old Mister Muscles? Things are changing with you, my girl, changing fast.
I let the moment go. Maybe I should have said something more. What could I say? She's passing into some new stage faster than I can control it. If there was some way I was supposed to handle a new interest in Justin Bieber and some class aide's muscles, I didn't know what it was, and I missed it. Justin Bieber is just a phase, I know, but I can feel Violet drifting out of her small childhood and into something else. And I know that's not a phase. And there are times that I just don't like that.

Well, the purpose of the database is to store information on a football,soccer league, stating the facts and figures about the teams. For example dta would be updated accordingly for if a team would play a game and score 2 goals, the played column would increase 1 and the goals would increase by 2. Sorry for my bad description, heres a table .
Team, played, Won, Draws, Lost, goals-scored, goals-against, Points
England, 8, 7, 1, 0, 19, 6, 22
Brazil, 9, 6, 2, 1, 11, 2, 20
hope my question is abit clearer.

We have an application which uses a central database. Quite often it happens that some of the clients crashes, leaving zombies in the process table, which keeps the connection to the database. This creates problems during the nightly replication/backup process of the database.
I would like to centrally tell a specified set of workstation, some in-house and others on remote location, to run a command at a specified time that could do one of the things in the list below.
Run a TASKKILL command to remove the zoombie(s) from the process table.
if that does not help I could consider logging out the active session by force
Another thing we have discussed some time would be to shutdown the workstation to save energy which would also solve the problem. (The users don't appear to remember to shut down before going home)
Can this somehow be done through a Group Policy? Obviously we could set this up in the scheduler on the individual workstations, but that would not be practical. >200 wkstns across 4 countries.
We are on Windows 2003 servers and XP workstations connected in a company network.

Spring is a great time to break out the cross-country skis and hit the backcountry trails. There are a couple of things to keep in mind:
Where to ski
There are some classic trails and roads that provide great skiing, quiet surroundings and beautiful scenery. Almost any canyon on Hwy 26 going over Pine Creek Pass will provide miles of trail. Most of these have been "groomed' by snowmachines and make for some fun runs. Mike Spencer Canyon has miles of trails that are relatively flat.
Type of Skis
Most cross-country skis are now fish tail and waxless. For backcountry trails (typically not machine groomed) it would be worth the investment to get heavier duty bindings and boots. They provide a lot more stability and control for unpredictable conditions.

Fabulous Fit
By CDR1
from Texas
Best Uses
I never thought that I could or would wear a "legging"(even in NYDJ). I'm a 12P and curvy but when I tried these on I fell in love. They don't bind or tug; they actually fit more like a slim jean than a legging. The fabric is a heavier stretch denim for the winter and there is enough extra length to roll up as boyfriend jeans or full length over boots. Of course NYDJ is pricey but I always get what I pay for in fit and comfort! p.s. I went up a size for comfort.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Variation in earnings of college grads
October 25, 1999
There is much variation in the weekly earnings of college graduates. In the last quarter, 10 percent of college graduates earned less than half of the median amount for those with a college degree. Another 10 percent earned more than twice the median amount.
[Chart data—TXT]
The usual median weekly earnings of college graduates were $867 in the three-month period from July to September 1999. College graduates in the first decile in earnings—the lowest 10 percent—earned less than $428 per week. This was just under half of the median level.
Workers with a college degree who were in the tenth decile—the highest 10 percent—earned $1,749 per week or more. This was just over twice the median level of earnings of college graduates.
Data on weekly earnings are from the Current Population Survey. Earnings figures are for full-time wage and salary workers. The term "college graduates" includes those with an advanced degree as well as those with a bachelor's degree only. Find more information on earnings in "Usual Weekly Earnings of Wage and Salary Workers: Third Quarter 1999," news release USDL 99-301. Note that deciles divide the dataset into 10 equal-size groups and quartiles divide the dataset into 4 equal-size groups.

Advanced Search with an Option to Filter Search
Advanced Search with an Option to Filter Search based on the Sections and Categories i.e. search in a particular section and or category or whole site. Search in Documents etc. This advancement will make Joomla based sites more powerful and user friendly.
14 comments
Anonymous commented
It should also be possible to create filters (or index) based on the status of the article (published, unpublished, archived, all).
Josh commented
Tijuana Mou commented
an essential implementation!
Here is what we have as a BOSCAR:
We currently have an option to search with basic site search which allows you to filter search based on some generic options which are not so advanced.
We need a site search that should allow users to pick a list of:
- Sections
- Categories
- Authors
- Dates
- Size
that should can be included/excluded from the filters to search from.
Implement the Objective outlined above with more details.
We are waiting for the Joomla Team to help us get this done.
We do not have any actions applied as of now.
None as of now.
Guys, how about creating a BOSCAR for this one.
Let me work on that and I shall write back with the BOSCAR.
SD Shah commented
This is indeed one of the most awaited feature in Joomla.
This will without a doubt increase the CMS demand and will be one of the most thrilling application. If we check under PhpBB they have this really cool advance search, I am sure Joomla will also have this one, since this is really needed to enhance the current default search.
Manish commented
I totally agree with Syed. Advanced search feature can save lots of time as well.
Hussain commented
This sounds really a good addition.
Additionally we can have a filter ribbon in the search results just like Joomla.org search results which will allow users to filter search based on categories.
angela commented
can't express how much we need it.
This truly will be a great add.
Ernesto commented
Advance search sounds great it would be better if you can improve it further by being able to search articles by date!!!
I've looked every where no one has this done
I am sure people in the community is looking at this idea.
Everyone, please provide your inputs.
We really need this in the default Joomla and not as a Module/Component.
Fatimun commented
I think this kind of search functionality will be a great value add. Please we need something like this!!!!!!!
Looking forward to have this noticed and get implemented.
Joomla is without a doubt THE Most Powerful CMS Tool.
If the search is enhanced to make it more customizable, it will have a very high impact to make any website awesome to super-awesome.
Hakeem commented
Should Be a great search system on Joomla !! I am with you to do this , bcz the search now is so poor

Raven's new counselor Cameron doesn't think her lesbian tendencies are a problem at all, in fact, she was happy to show her pussy a little tender loving care. When Charlee invited her co-worker Lacie over for dinner, she never expected that they would end up eating pussy! Kiera got turn on watching Dillion dance at the party, so when they got back to her place she gave her sweet kisses and gently caressed her body. When Natasha gave Stacie a full body massage, they both got soaking wet, so they ended exchanging happy endings.

Saw this on Impact Guns website. Is this an Arsenal USA creation, or are there actually RPK's out there in service in 5.56x45?

Saw this on Impact Guns website. Is this an Arsenal USA creation, or are there actually RPK's out there in service in 5.56x45?
I don't know if its something made entirely for the civilian market but I wouldn't be entirely surprised if a variant was actually in use by at least the Bulgarians themselves since from what I have read about their small arms program they seem to prefer the Kalashnikov designs (though I believe they also use a G36 variant).
Of course being a NATO member standardization on the 5.56 caliber would be of obvious benefit if not a requirement for acceptance.
All conjecture on my part but it would make sense to me that they would be phasing out the 7.62/5.45 designs and moving toward 5.56 armament in light of above mentioned NATO status which I believe they were given in 2004 ?
that is very interesting . can anybody come up with a parts list to build on with a stamped reciever.
Royal Tiger Imports (Inter-Ordinance) is selling Russian Molot .223 RPKs now
K-var now has the barrels for these, I saw it on there site the other day
K-var's RPK-028B barrel assembly (5.56) was on sale a couple months ago, around $400. including a bipod. Regularly $499.
Russian or Bulgarian RPK parts seem to be scare in the marketplace. I searched for three years for a Merlot RPK-74 front trunnion. Finally, I found on on another site.
This is the assembly that was on sale.
http://www.k-var.com/shop/RPK-028B.html 24" 5.56 (.223 NATO) hammer forged
I wonder if they have the folding RPKMS stock the Royal tiger site wasn't working right when I was trying to access pics

2000 Volleyball Captains Chosen
Aug. 10, 2000
Lubbock, Texas - The Texas Tech Volleyball team announced the 2000 captains today according to head coach Jeff Nelson. Seniors Colleen Smith and Janelle Jones along with sophomore Ann Romjue were chosen to lead this year's squad.
Colleen Smith, a pre-season all-America candidate, recorded 358 kills last year in her first season as a Red Raider. The Albuquerque native played in 106 games during her junior season and is considered the top returning player on this year's team.
Senior Janelle Jones played in 94 games last season and will be a leader for the Red Raider offense this season. Last year, she tallied 168 kills for an average of 1.79 per game. Jones, a native of Denver, Colo., is a pre-season favorite for academic-all America honors as she has maintained a perfect 4.0 GPA.
Rounding out this year's captains is Ann Romjue. Romjue, a sophomore from Papillion, Neb., had an outstanding freshman season last year. Romjue set two Texas Tech freshman records and was ranked by the conference in two categories. Romjue saw action in 108 games last season and tallied 347 kills.
"I am very pleased with this group of captains," said head coach Jeff Nelson. "The team respects each of them and I know that they will do a great job of running the floor."

(April 2, 2012)
Of the 535 members of Congress, a few are especially aware of writers' public policy concerns and meet with our political team to better understand and support issues that matter to writers.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.)
Why we like him: Chair of the Senate Commerce Committee, he understands the importance of writers as content creators and a supporter of net neutrality, Rockefeller shot back at critics of the FCC's net neutrality rules and led the floor debate in favor of the open Internet rules that helped stop their repeal.
Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA.)
Why we like him: A deep understanding of writers and the public policy positions affecting their work and a tireless fighter for net neutrality, the westside Democrat has a large constituency of writers in his district. When Democrats are in the majority again, this ranking member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee will become its chair, and we will have a powerful ally with even more to say on issues affecting writers.
Sen. Al Franken (D-MN.)
Why we like him: Sure, he's a WGAE member, and that's part of it. But he's also highly knowledgeable and engaged with all issues affecting writers. On the floor of the Senate, Franken called net neutrality the "free speech issue of our time" saying that the Internet has become the "soap box" of the 21st century.
Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT.)
Why we like him: Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Leahy understands and supports net neutrality, the important role of content creators and digital piracy.
Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA.)
Why we like him: Author of the House Internet Freedom Preservation Act ensuring the Internet remains a level playing field guided by the principles of openness and competition, Markey is a consistent champion for net neutrality and new sources of competition to cable TV franchises, telephone operators, and other wireless services.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA.)
Why we like him: Voted YES on establishing net neutrality in 2006 and supports websites policing for copyrighted materials. Schiff is a consistently strong supporter of writers both in his district and in general.

HEREFORD - A Deaf Smith County jailer who was arrested this week for narcotics possession was fired Thursday.
Deaf Smith County Sheriff Brent Harrison said Friday that Eric Suttle, 27, was terminated effective Thursday after marijuana and hallucinogenic mushrooms were found in his home.
A pair of Deaf Smith County deputies who are assigned to work with the Panhandle Regional Narcotics Trafficking Task Force in Amarillo discovered the possible existence of narcotics through their investigations and secured a search warrant for Suttle's home on Tuesday, Harrison said.
When the deputies searched the home in the 100 block of Ninth Street, they found about 3 ounces of marijuana and 10 grams of mushrooms, Harrison said.
Suttle was taken into custody, as was Anthony Pena, 28, who was staying at the home, Harrison said.
The two were charged with a Class A misdemeanor possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, and possession of hallucinogenic mushrooms, which is a second-degree felony.
Both men were arraigned and released on $5,500 bond.
Harrison said Suttle had been a good employee since he was hired in April 2000 and seemed like a normal guy.
"He's such a nice, kindhearted person," Harrison said. "I think it's just kind of bad judgment on his part. I still like the guy to this day."
Despite his service to the sheriff's office, Harrison said it was necessary to treat Suttle like any other suspect.
"You have to police yourself," Harrison said. "If you don't, someone else will, and that's going to look twice as bad. We want to run an honest operation here, and we've worked hard to keep up the integrity of the office. That's hard to do and it goes away quick when bad things happen."

Over the past few months, 60 Max's Lead Writer Dana Draper brought the Patriots x's and o's at ya in our signature '60 Max Breakdown Series: The Skill Positions:.
Released one by one, Dana goes through all of the offensive skill positions, breaking down the Patriot's special approach that's lead them to success time and time again. We decided not enough credit was due for his work, so during this bye week, we've decided to package them on one convenient page.
The Art of the Patriots Quarterback Position / Play Calling - Pass calls and Protection calls – The New England offense runs through one guy, and that is Tom Brady. He has been the piece of clay the Patriots offensive staff molded into a bust for Canton since he burst onto the scene in 2001. more >
The Wide Receiver position in the Patriots offense is as complex as any position on the team. It is no wonder that many good WR's have not been able to absorb the concepts and overall offense. We are going to breakdown not only how the WR's function, but also the relationship they have to have with the Quarterback. more >
As written about in 'The Evolution of the New England Offense', the spread offense and the heavy influence of the New Orleans Saints system has brought the TE spot into the limelight. The Patriots philosophy utilizes two main designations for the TE position - the (Y) and the (Z), the TE duties are split between the (Y) and the (Z). Having one as an inline blocker who could be flexed out (The Y) and the other split out (The Z). more >
How the Patriots Utilize the Running Game – The Running Back position is a jack of all trades and master of none, as the Patriots like to use a RB by committee. They play particular roles. The Lead Back is required to be a hard charging down hill runner. The Second back is the run-pass type, and the Third typically a thumper. more >

The Malik Report
The overnight report: did 'Mike Babcock' get too big for the Wings?
by George Malik on 05/24/15 at 12:56 AM ET
Comments (13)
The "aha" moment for me didn't happen until sometime late on Friday evening. I realized that the last thirteen months' worth of Babcock contract questions had yielded an unanswered question that became bigger than the team, and when someone, anyone becomes bigger than the team--and likes it when they remain that way--then it's time for them to leave.
A coach can be larger-than-life, a coach can be just as important to his team's success as the players, a coach can be a media phenomenon unto himself, but by December, Mike Babcock's future became a sideshow, and the few times the "verboten" subject and un-answerable question was asked and parried away, the coach did nothing to diminish its distraction-worthy qualities.
Is it realistic to blame the Wings' late-season swoon upon Babcock's up-in-the-air status? I don't believe so, but I do believe that the late-season swoon certainly illustrated that Babcock might have been a little burnt out as the Red Wings' coach, and perhaps his realization that his time was at an end yielded some dog-eared pages out of the playbook being leaned upon far too heavily by a team that didn't need to hear, "If we just stick with it, we'll be fine" for the third season in a row.

Red Wings fans, meet 'Blash'
by George Malik on 05/23/15 at 10:41 PM ET
Comments (1)
The Free Press's Jeff Seidel has written what I can only describe as the definitive profile of soon-to-be Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill, and this column deserves its own entry and all sorts of praise because this is how those of you who don't already know someone who allows people to call him "Blash" who exactly "Blash" is:
Blashill is the perfect choice — and not just because he is basically a younger, less-experienced version of Babcock, minus the hard-edged personality. Blashill checks all of the boxes you want in a coach. Well, all of them but NHL head-coaching experience.
He is demanding, a hard worker, highly prepared, detail-oriented, intelligent, a tremendous communicator, able to motivate, confident, even-keeled under pressure, loyal, able to make adjustments on the bench, focused, a proven winner and a coach whose players would run through a sheet of Plexiglas for him.
Ask anyone who has spent some time with Blashill, and they all come back to the same phrase: He just gets it. All of it. How to handle players. How to prepare for games. How to deal with the media. How to talk to the front office. How to develop players. And how to treat those who work under him with respect. He even lets someone videotape his pregame speeches and put them online (Youtube.com/griffvision).
"He's awesome," said Grand Rapids Griffins equipment manager Brad Thompson, who has worked under 10 coaches. "He's just a good guy, a great guy. I probably respect him the most of any coach, just for the fact that he doesn't look at us as the schleps or the grunts of the team."
Other than a lack of head coaching experience in the NHL, what's Blashill's biggest weakness?
It might be his golf game. "His golf game is not as good as he thinks it is and that's what gets him into trouble," Ferris State hockey coach Bob Daniels said, with a laugh.
Seidel continues, and this is a must-read

Prospect playoff news: Walleye rally again via Frk hat trick
by George Malik on 05/23/15 at 10:13 PM ET
Comments (1)
The Toledo Walleye are trying to make some playoff history, and Martin Frk's lending them quite the hand. Two games after scoring a hat trick, Frk registered yet another as the Walleye rallied from a 4-2 deficit to defeat the South Carolina Stingrays 5-4 in overtime on Saturday.
The Walleye have rallied from a 3-games-to-none deficit to close to 3-games-to-2, with the teams playing Games 6 and possibly 7 in Toledo on the 26th and 27th; on Saturday, Frk scored a hat trick and added an assist on 8 shots.

The Toledo Walleye are a hard team to figure out this spring. They've won two straight games after falling into a 3-0 hole against the South Carolina Stingrays, and now the Walleye are down 3 games to 2 thanks to a 5-4 win on Friday night...
But the Walleye nearly surrendered a 4-1 lead on Friday, and the game after scoring a hat trick, Martin Frk was held off the scoresheet.

Evening news: Does Babcock's departure spell tougher times ahead?
by George Malik on 05/22/15 at 08:33 PM ET
Comments (14)
If you missed any of the updates to the Babcock farewell presser post, the Windsor Star's Bob Duff adds a few more quotes to the mix...
"Don't get me wrong - I love it here, but I also think it was time for me," Babcock acknowledged. "No matter how much I talked to (Detroit general manager) Kenny (Holland) and we went back and forth and he was great, I wanted a different challenge. I went through a long process. I made a decision that was best, I felt, for Mike Babcock and his family. I'm going to a different place with a new opportunity where I'm very, very excited to go."
It wasn't an easy decision for him to make, but in the end, it was the appropriate call.
"I went back and forth on it 100 times," Babcock admitted. "I probably wore Kenny out being a pain in the butt and I know I wore my family out. It was gut wrenching. As much of it is emotional for me right now talking to you, I said it yesterday it was like I was 25. I was jacked up, scared to death. We'll see. Only time will tell. I believe you put your foot on the gas and go get it and that's what we're going to do."
And it's from this set of quips that we delve into two columns (and an interview) which concern themselves with the concern--for lack of a better term--that Babcock's departure strikes something of a death-knell for the Red Wings' playoff streak, if not an indication that this team can't go any higher than the 1st round regardless of who's coaching it.

Wallner: Playoff bonuses yield a 12-hour bus ride for the Griffins
by George Malik on 05/22/15 at 07:59 PM ET
Comments (1)
For once, I'm going to point you toward the Grand Rapids Griffins' press release regarding their upcoming series with the Utica Comets, which begins on Sunday and Monday in Utica, NY, and let you read about the Wings' prospects-vs-Canucks-prospects series on your own...
And I'll let the Grand Rapids Press's Peter J. Wallner explain why the hell the Griffins bused to Utica, NY (a 12-hour trip) for two games prior to next Thursday, Friday and Sunday's home games:
The AHL in the postseason gives 52 percent of the gate from games to the participating players. But certain costs, including travel, come out of those expenses. Taking buses is less expensive than flying and potentially leaves more in the pot for the players.
In the Griffins case, they took two sleeper buses. They pay for one and the other they plan to submit for reimbursed by the league, according to Tim Gortsema, the Griffins senior vice present of business operations.
Two years ago the Griffins bused their first trip to Syracuse, which is about 50 miles less than Utica. When they had to return a second time for a Game Six, the Red Wings provided their team plane. It worked. The Griffins won and took home the cup.
Either way, the bus trip to Utica is the longest of the season. The closest comparison would be Des Moines, which is about 500 miles.
The Griffins had nothing planned but travel today. They will practice Saturday ahead of Sunday's series open. They play the following night as well, and then head home taking the Southern route, which is longer but avoids crossing the border and gives the players uninterrupted sleep.
Wallner continues, noting the gulf of time between the Griffins' last playoff home game and their next one, Mark Zengerle's strong playoff showing and Zach Nastasiuk's health....
And Griffins broadcaster Bob Kaser noted that the Griffins arrived in Utica with a new face in the lineup:

This document is intended to provide a troubleshooting methodology which incorporates publicly available utilities to diagnose and resolve an issue identified within a specific use case. The use case will be presented as a scenario where an IBM Cognos Support Analyst is working with a client to diagnose and solve a particular issue.
The utilities mentioned in this document can be found at,
Although the troubleshooting approach outlined is not IBM Cognos BI version specific, some of the diagnostic utilities used are. The version of the utility to be downloaded will be specific to the IBM Cognos BI version that is experiencing the issue.
Use Case Description
In this particular scenario, a Support Analyst is presented with a situation where a freshly installed IBM Cognos BI system fails to start for the first time. The client has configured all properties in IBM Cognos Configuration and saved the settings but when the Start button is clicked the start operation fails with an error message indicating a problem with the Content Store database connectivity.
Troubleshooting The Use Case
As with troubleshooting any use case, a set of basic information needs to be collected in order to further clarify the environment and the issue at hand. In this particular use case, the following information was provided by the client when logging the initial PMR with IBM Cognos Support.
- IBM Cognos BI version: 8.4.1
- Operating System: Windows 2003 SP2
- Java Runtime Environment (JRE): Sun, version unknown
- Content Store Database: Oracle, version unknown
Acquire Missing Information
Since the client is not sure which release of the Sun JRE is being used, the Support Analyst asks the client to start IBM Cognos Configuration and press Ctrl+F3. This brings up a dialog that displays information about the environment and installed version of IBM Cognos BI. This reveals that the version of the JRE being used is only 1.3. To the Support Analyst this raises a concern for two reasons.
First, this is a rather old version of Java and second, the client was unaware of the JRE version nor were they able to deduce the version on their own. This suggests that the client may be new to their IBM Cognos BI environment and since there is still important information missing about the Oracle client version and JDBC driver, the Support Analyst decides that it would be best to assist the client with gathering that information. The Support Analyst asks the client to download the IBM Cognos BI Health Check Diagnostic Tool located at the following URL,
This diagnostic tool gathers information about the installed software relevant to IBM Cognos BI and compares the identified software products and versions to the supported environment information for that particular release of IBM Cognos BI. The result will be a rating of compliant or not compliant for each of the considered software products.
As the Support Analyst already determined that the version of the Sun JRE is not supported, the client is advised to change the local environment so that it is making use of the JRE delivered as part of the IBM Cognos BI installation on Windows platforms, located in the ./bin/jre folder of the IBM Cognos BI install.
The next step is to run the diagnostic tool. The Support Analyst advises the client to check the options for Content Store, database support for reporting, Java runtime libraries, operating system and web servers. The other options don't apply to the client's IBM Cognos BI installation.
After the diagnostic tool has finishing running, it reports that the Content Store and the web server are not compliant. It turns out that the installed Oracle client version and JDBC driver used for the Content Store database access are not supported. The Support Analyst advises the client that they will need to upgrade their Oracle client to one of the versions listed as actively supported on the Supported Environments page at,
Additional Value Added
Since the Support Analyst included the web servers in the analysis, the client was also informed that their web server was not compliant and thus prevented a follow-up issue the client would have encountered after fixing the JDBC issue.

Archo vs Sandisk
Just wondering how does the sound quality on archos players compare with sandisk ?
|[Remove Advertisement]
I've never had an Archos device but I know that not many on here would recommend them.
I wouldn't generalize from one set of test to include the entire line but dfkt tested a Archos 32. That was several years ago so I'm not sure they have much to do with what they're putting out now. The results are here. From those I wouldn't pair it up with sensitive multi armature with crossovers IEMs. It doesn't seem as if they would be bad with full size cans.
I'm always wary SQ of tablets if that's what you mean. I've found that most of them I've listened to audio output seems to be an after thought. Some of them have been outright bad. Every review of their sound quality seems to be limited to how loud the on board speakers are. That doesn't do any good if you want to use headphones.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
I have an Archos A43IT which is an Archos Generation 8 device like the Archos 32 referenced above. My experience matches exactly dfkt's RMAA results. It sounds great with my dynamic driver IEMs (and fairly sensitive headphones) but is basically unusable with balanced armatures.
dfkt mentions multi-armature IEMs but actually it's no good with any low impedance 'phone which has big frequency changes at different impedances so even my single armature Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5vi are completely unlistenable with the A43IT. They are OK if I add an inline resistor (I have one which adds 36 ohms and another which adds 75 ohms).
I have a variety of dynamic driver IEMs including Shure SE215 and Sennheiser CX95 and several headphones including Sennheiser Momentum circumaural and Koss KSC75. All these work fine with the Archos and it sounds really good. With any of these I would choose an Archos generation 8 player over the Clip series for the very long battery life (if used as an audio player), the absence of system noise or hiss and the fact that there is enough processing power and memory to handle any audio task (i.e. high bitrate aac) and also display cover art nicely, run eq, database etc without any problems, have a big enough screen to display metadata etc. For a pure audio player I would probably choose the Fuze+ over the Archos devices. With BA earphones I would choose any of the Sansas over the Archos devices.
I've seen you mention the Clip having difficulty dealing with "high bitrate" AAC files a couple of times now. i have files from the iTunes store that average ~ 266 kbps and my Rockboxed Clip+, v2 Clip and Clip Zip don't have difficulty playing those. That's while the database is building and I create playlists.
I also have 2 bands of the equalizer active, the compressor running, Replaygain applied and both the Bass and Treble adjustments set. My v1 Clip can't keep up with that but the rest can without lag or audio playback problems.
If you have more than a few bands of the equalizer active that may be the problem. Doing that can use significant system resources to doubtful audible benefit. Parametric equalizers can affect either a wide or narrow band of frequencies depending on the bandwidth "Q" setting. That makes it possible to use just a few bands to fine tune the sound to your headphones.
You also may not be aware but not every Clip+ has the system noises you mention. That's a per unit issue. That was determined a some time ago when there were some people that complained of the noises and others said they didn't exist. I've had several of each model and some have had system noises but most haven't. It's pretty much luck of the draw.
Unlike the system noises every sandisk player I've ever owned has had a low level background hiss. It's somewhat quieter on the Fuze+ but I can hear it when I listen closely to a silence file using sensitive headphones. I can't hear it once the music starts so it's not a concern to me.
Please understand that I'm not saying the advice you're giving is wrong. You're reporting your experiences to let others know what criteria you would use to make a choice. That's what all of us do to help others make informed choices. I'm saying that your experiences aren't universal and may not be what another person will experience with a different player or settings.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
The high bitrate aac files I use are BBC iPlayer streams. BBC Radio 3 broadcasts mostly classical music, jazz, some world music and some drama. There is a lot of live broadcasting of concerts. The streams are 320 kbps CVBR aac and can be very large indeed as the durations are often between 90 minutes and three hours. It's these that can routinely make the Clips brainfart (the same streams are basically unplayable on older players such as early generation iPods or iRiver H series players).
Other national BBC radio station streams tend to be aac 128 kbps CVBR or lower. Files of more normal bitrates and more typical durations are fine, though occasionally a very long duration 128 kbps file can cause a problem.
I expect these types of very long, very high bitrate streams might be quite unusual outside of UK's broadcasting but certainly plenty of people use them here.
As to system noise on Clips and older Fuzes: I appreciate some do and some don't. I'm unsure of the value of anecdotal evidence as to the proportion which supposedly do and which supposedly don't. I have to say that the possibility of intrusive noise is hardly a minor factor in a device whose only purpose is to reproduce audio. I could spend my money and maybe get a good one or maybe get a bad one - this isn't exactly the basis for a glowing recommendation in my opinion. So I just describe what I actually know for myself and is also widely reported by others and even documented (see Rockbox's AMS port issues page). If I had just had the bad luck of a rogue device it wouldn't matter but clearly it is hardly unusual.
I don't so much mind a bit of a hiss as it is much more easily masked and also usually much less intrusive and disturbing than squeaks, clicks etc.
All these noises are much less prominent with less sensitive and higher impedance 'phones but are very apparent with something like my SuperFi 5vi which are super low impedance and very sensitive. With my Koss KSC75 (moderately sensitive but 60 ohm impedance) the noise issues mostly disappear.
I have to think that a small personal audio player ought to work well with sensitive, low impedance IEMs so I think it is perfectly sensible to describe if this is the case or not.
I think the Fuze+ is very good with a wide variety of IEMs and headphones, highly compatible with different 'phones and file types, with truly good sound, much underrated. It is a very good choice if you don't mind touchpad controls in place of buttons. In terms of audio I think its only fault is a tiny bit of hiss with very sensitive IEMs.
The Archos gen8 is great with all kinds of audio files and any 'phones which don't vary with impedance but actually useless with those that do.
The Clips? Highly compatible with different 'phones and maybe you get a good one that sounds great and works with your files but maybe you get a noisy one that chirps and squeaks or sometimes chokes on some of your files. How to know what to expect? I don't know.
People have the reasonable expectation that an audio player plays audio without generating its own sounds or having trouble with quite common files and it will work with the portable headphones they like to use. I think it's OK to describe if and how these expectations are likely to be fulfilled or not and if not, why not.
I don't carry a torch for Sansa and nor do I have anything against them. I have bought several of their players and some I like very much while others I would hesitate to recommend without reservations, so in those cases I recommend them and describe my reservations.

That means what might be a common file to you may be uncommon to the next person. As such if you are going to say a device isn't able to handle certain files it's best if you include information that would let the anyone that reads this later what encoder settings were used. That way it's possible for them to evaluate if your experiences have any meaning for their uses.
None of that proves the noises doesn't exist. It may just not have been reported. My hearing may be defective. I might just have been lucky and none of the units I've listen to make the noises.
Me not hearing system noises on the Clip Zip when I have clearly heard them on some Clip+ units, all Clip V2 and sansa e200 models satisfies me that it's not an issue for me with the Clip Zip. If anyone is hearing the noises on the Clip Zip in Rockbox, filing a bug report might help get it resolved.
I hope you see where I'm going with this. I'm too old and been around too long to be a fanboi of anything. I do my best to evaluate any audio equipment I might use in light of my experience while acknowledging my natural human fallibility. I then pass along that information as completely as possible.
I consider making sure that the information is as complete as possible important because part of my experience is what may seem as if it should be common knowledge frequently isn't. Taking the time to include all relevant information so the next person has what they need to conduct their own research has proven to be helpful many times. Beats the heck out of glossing over some minor but important factoid the next reader may not know.
Including both the positives and negatives of my experiences has helped dozens of others make informed buying choices. I'd like to suggest that if your goal is to share your knowledge that including more, rather than fewer, hard facts is the better way to accomplish that.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
Yes, I also included both positives and negatives of my experiences in the hope that it might help others make informed choices. Whether the negatives are as welcome as the positives is often interesting in itself.
I didn't go into huge detail because it would be tedious for me and perhaps for anyone reading. For example to describe pitch error in Sansa Clip, Clip+ and Fuze, Fuze v2 in original firmware vs Rockbox's superior implementation, while remembering to specify that Clip Zip's audio hardware is almost identical but its Sansa firmware addresses the pitch error and also remembering to note that Fuze+ hardware is entirely different and doesn't have the issue at all etc etc.
I also didn't feel the need to describe that old Fuze, Clip and Clip+ can't even play aac in Sansa firmware and that Clip Zip does but is not assured to work with clips longer than 10 minutes duration. This is because I am not writing an in depth review and comparison piece but addressing a specific question in the comment section of a board.
I was passing comment, not writing an in-depth review, so it's not exactly reasonable to hold me to the standards of an in-depth review while I am merely passing comment. If my comments were factually incorrect or misleading that would be a different matter but actually they weren't.
I also have no idea as to the geolocation of the members and readers here so I don't make assumptions except that the reader has a decent grasp of English and that the hardware and likely content are broadly similar across the map. For example I am fairly confident that streams like BBC's highest quality aac streams are quite unusual but I am not brave enough to assume that something like a long duration 128 kbps CVBR aac stream is something that is all that unusual, especially if people listen to recordings/captures of live performances or orchestral music or opera or prog rock or similarly long performances.
I have revisited my earlier comments and still stand by them:
If you use headphones whose frequency response changes according to impedance then avoid the Archos gen8 devices entirely. Otherwise they are very capable audio players and have some nice features and even advantages over the Clip series, some of which come down to CPU power and RAM and screen size and the convenience of wifi and the ability to browse smb and upnp shares.
If you do have headphones which need a low impedance source then of the Sansa players the Fuze+ is a safe bet as it is not known to have any problems except the touchpad interface is widely disliked. With the Clip series and older Fuzes there may be problems with system noise, failing buttons and poor quality headphone sockets - it's not consistent or universal so buyer beware - it's your money. I think this is fair comment. If it is the case that the Zip has solved the noise problems than that is great but when just now I googled "clip zip noise" the very first result is http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum...ad.php?t=66761 I can't tell if that is a unique experience or not but I do know my experience with my own Clip+ and Fuze v2.
Anyway, back to the original question:
Q: "Just wondering how does the sound quality on archos players compare with sandisk ?"
A: "It depends."
Players exit stage left, curtain closes. Silence (the audience never returned after the interval).
Interested in Google's Summer of Code ? PM me.
Thanks for the info. I don't think I've encountered very long duration low bitrate aac files so had associated it with the combination of high bitrate and long duration. Long duration alone would match.
All such files I use are aac streams muxed by ffmpeg into m4a container along with itunes compliant metadata and are usually then hinted with MP4Box so there shouldn't be anything weird about them except sometimes the content....
Might want to check the settings you used to pack the mp4 stream. In practice "weird" means "anything but iTunes or Quicktime".

The Bachelor spoilers 2014 just keep coming! As we near Hometown dates, the Fantasy Suite episode and the finale itself, we can now say almost without a doubt that Reality Steve has been on-point with his information all season and is going to maintain this streak through the finale. (Yeah, yeah, he was wrong last time. We know.)
We believe he has the goods this year partially because franchise host Chris Harrison practically confirmed the Bachelor Season 18 spoilers surrounding Juan Pablo Galavis during a Feb. 19 media call!
Speaking specifically about Nikki Ferrell and Clare Crawley, Harrison told reporters, "And so it's interesting. If they got to see that side of each other, which they will when they watch the show back. They'll probably come to the 'After the Final Rose' show and say, 'You know what? We were probably more similar than we thought.'"
Bachelor Spoilers 2014: Chris Harrison Confirms Nikki and Clare Are Juan Pablo's Final Two...Oops!
Well, if Clare and Nikki are both present for the "After The Final Rose" filming, that means they pretty much had to have been the final two women in the competition. That's how this thing works. All the other ladies, rejected previously during Season 18, will have their moment to cry, gripe, gossip or tell America 'I have moved on and I've never been happier' during the "Women Tell All" special that will air March 3 between Hometown/Fantasy Suite week (Feb. 24 and 25) and The Bachelor 2014 finale on March 10.
The hour-long "ATFR" special, which airs just after the finale wraps up, is only for Juan Pablo, the most recently-jilted bachelorette and the lady who actually won Juan Pablo's heart. Or did she? Reality Steve has been saying for months Nikki is definitely the one who Juan Pablo picked on the Season 18 finale, but that there is major trouble in paradise. In a nutshell, Steve-O says home-girl is getting played.
For more of the latest Bachelor 2014 Juan Pablo spoilers, click here. Stay tuned to ABC to see how it all turns out: Does Juan Pablo pick Nikki? Will it really be Clare and Nikki who face off during "After The Final Rose"? What if Reality Steve is wrong again?! (Duh. Human civilization implodes, then collapses. Cockroaches and jellyfish take over the planet. Everyone knows that.)

EUPRAXIA (by Soter) (Aeschylus Seven 223)
Aeschylus, Seven Against Thebes 223 ff (trans. Weir Smyth) (Greek tragedy C5th B.C.) :
"When you invoke the gods, do not be ill-advised. For Peitharkhia (Obedience) is the mother of Eupraxia (Success), wife of Soter (Salvation)--as the saying goes.
So she is, but the power of god [Zeus] is supreme, and often in bad times it raises the helpless man out of harsh misery even when stormclouds are lowering over his eyes."

In 2014, 2.1 percent of our patients have returned to Children's within 30 days of their procedure for complications.
What does this data mean?
It is our goal to make sure children have as few complications as possible after their surgery. So when they go home, they can stay home.
Why do we track unplanned visits after surgery?
The healing process is still occurring when you go home. We want every child to get the most benefit out of their surgeries and be able to return to their normal activities. These rates show us how many children had to come back to Children's after their surgeries because of more pain or an infection. Keeping track of why patients return helps us see if there are ways we can make our care better.
How does Children's help ensure we are providing high-quality care?

Saint-Laurent Boulevard, better known in Montreal as The Main, was closed to vehicular traffic this weekend for it's twice a summer shopper's delight, known as Main Madness. For the event, stores and restaurants spill out on to the street and hock their wares for bargain basement prices and set up terrasses along the length of the street, starting from Sherbrooke St. heading North.
People were able to get everything from clothes, shoes, accessories and all kinds of tempting smelling and even better tasting foods. Dogs, families and all other demographics filled the street to enjoy the sales and the entertainment that lined the street.
Main Madness typically happens in May and August.
