Genre: Drama,
Rating: NR
The White Queen is a riveting portrayal of one of the most dramatic and turbulent times in English history. A story of love and lust, seduction and deception, betrayal and murder, it is uniquely told through the perspective of three different, yet equally relentless women - Elizabeth Woodville, Margaret Beaufort and Anne Neville. In their quest for power, they will scheme, manipulate and seduce their way onto the English throne. The year is 1464, before the Tudor dynasty ruled the country, and war has been ravaging throughout England over who is the rightful King. It is a bitter dispute between two sides of the same family, The House of York and The House of Lancaster. The House of York's young and handsome Edward IV is crowned King of England with the help of the master manipulator, Lord Warwick "The Kingmaker." But when Edward falls in love with a beautiful Lancastrian commoner, Elizabeth Woodville, Warwick's plan to control the throne comes crashing down. A violent, high-stakes struggle ensues between Elizabeth, her most fierce adversary, Lancastrian Margaret Beaufort, and Anne Neville, the pawn in her father's power game - each woman vying for the crown.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. ?- The Arizona men's tennis players Roger Matalonga and Colin O'Grady wrapped up play today at the 2004 ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships in Ann Arbor, Mich., as the rest of the Wildcat players started play at the Aggie Invitational in College Station, Texas.
Matalonga faced off today against Indiana's Jakub Praibis in the first round of the consolation bracket. After three sets Matalonga fell to Praibis 6-4, 3-6, 6-2. Later this afternoon, Matalonga tried to rebound after his single match in doubles action with his doubles partner O'Grady. They faced New Mexico's David Kowalski and Ryan Stotland. The Lobos were to much as UA fell 9-8 (4).
In the action in Texas, the Wildcats had an up and down day against LSU. Doubles went 1-2 and singles went 4-2. Senior Paul Warkentin, junior Tim Mulane, sophomores Nathan Cochrane and Jason Labrosse, and freshmen Bruno Alcala, Mitchell Brown, and Francois VanDermewe all made the trip to the Aggie Invitational.
The first doubles match was Warkentin and Alcala against Jason Hazely and Danny Bryan 8-5. In another match, Labrosse and Mulane fell to Colt Gaston and Peter Richman 8-5. However, Brown and VanDermewe were victorious defeating Paul White and Kevin Dessauer 9-7.
In singles, the Wildcats had a successful day facing the Tigers. Warkentin, in one of the closest matches of the day, defeated Hazely 7-6, 3-6, 7-5. His teammate Alacala followed with another three set match, as he defeated Richman 6-3, 2-6, 6-1. Labrosse was also victorious defeating Bryan 6-2, 7-5. After falling behind early Mulane came from behind to defeated Gaston 3-6, 6-4, 6-4. Despite winning in doubles action, VanDermewe did not have the same success in singles. He fell to White in a hard match 6-4, 7-6. To wrap up the day, Cochrane fell to Dessauer, 6-3, 6-0.
The Wildcats will continue action tomorrow, at the Aggie Invitational against Texas A&M.

Does atheism walk beside and inside you to your well and never leaves you away?
No. I must do these things for myself.
A follower of Allah can say the same things about his god, and a follower of Quetzalcoatl can say the same things about his god. Which one of you (if any) is right?
What do you think about truth? If you found out that Jesus was only a myth and is not real, would you still tell atheists to believe in Jesus?

Reviews for Coffee Lover's Coffee Cake
"Not sure if an ingredient was left off the recipe but the batter was VERY thick and would not pour at all. And there was no mixing or swirling the coffee topping into the batter. The taste was ok but very bitter in spots b/c the coffee did not mix into the batter. Did anyone else have that problem? I tripled checked the ingredients and I didn't leave anything out."
"A very nice moist cake itself but the filling tasted a bit bitter to me. However my son liked it. Thanks for sharing."
"I used an 8 inch baking dish and it was just right for me!"
"Delicious. I made mine in a round cake pan and cut it like a pie. We tried some warm last night and didn't think it was anything special, but it was delicious the next morning!"
"The cake was very moist!"

The younger members of dragon-kind might be foolish enough to allow their human mates the freedom to choose where they go and do as they please. Kirill doesn't plan to make the same mistake. As far as he's concerned, his female belongs in his lair, preferably nestled on a bed of gems or, if she insists, allowed outside but never out of sight or any further than the boundaries of his territory.
Now that the time has arrived to claim her, he intends to go to the human world, collect his mate, and immediately return to the dragon realm with her. Unfortunately for him, Jazzlyn has other ideas. She's also got a half-elf ally capable of ensuring that Kirill remains in the human realm long enough to discover that when it comes to claiming a human mate, passion rules and love can temper even a dragon's nature.

Here are some extra notes from Sunday's 21-7 exhibition win against the San Diego Chargers:
-First off, the explanation for Mike Iupati's problems on Sunday was the result of Corey Liuget dominating the 49ers offensive line. The one play that stood out the most was the sack-fumble allowed in the first quarter where Liuget slipped by the starting LG. Iupati over-committed when approaching Liuget and wouldn't lower his body. His aggressiveness backfired and the Chargers had open paths to the 49ers backfield.
-Alex Boone, who has been holding out in hopes of a new contract was hoping for Joe Looney to struggle so he would have leverage. It ended up being Looney and not Iupati who played well at guard in pass protection and RT Jonathan Martin helped him on the right side of the offensive line.
-The second-team offense looked better which was reflected on the Blaine Gabbert touchdown pass to Vance McDonald. However, several first-team offensive linemen were protecting Gabbert, therefore giving the quarterback plenty of time to see the field. The real story was McDonald making plays on the drive, where he had three receptions for 29 yards including the TD with no drops.
-Michael Wilhoite all but secured his spot as the starting ILB in Week 1 alongside Patrick Willis. He wasn't the greatest in coverage, especially on Antonio Gates, but he did his job at stopping the run. His experience with Vic Fangio's defense should give him the edge over Chris Borland when the depth chart is made. It wasn't a great outing by any means, but it was adequate enough as he fills in for NaVorro Bowman.
-Ian Williams only played 11 snaps on Sunday, but he did his job at nose tackle and it appears he is ready after missing most of the 2013 season with an ankle injury. The 49ers patience to wait until he was ready appears to be paying off.
-LaMichael James was horrid in the running game which is summed up by his long run to the sideline for a minimal gain. However, he had a decent day as a pass protector which helped buy time for a few passes.
-Aaron Lynch was impressive against the third-string Chargers offense where he showed flashes of being a pass rusher in the future. He is a little raw, but with time he could be a situational pass rusher down the line. Lynch also contributed to the interception by Jimmie Ward with the tipped ball.
-Shayne Skov was also a reason why the 49ers shut out the Chargers in the second half. The former Stanford LB was everywhere on the field, but his odds of making the 49ers 53-man roster are slim. It's very possible that he secured a 53-man roster spot on another team when the roster is trimmed. He would have to clear waivers in order to be signed to the practice squad.
-It was preseason, but that didn't stop Mike McCoy nor Jim Harbaugh from throwing their challenge flag on plays that they thought could be overturned. Harbaugh was 0-2 while McCoy was 0-1 in their respective challenges and there was another booth review on the interception by Ward. Coaches throughout the NFL aren't scared to stick their nose out on plays they think were close and it won't be surprising if they remain aggressive on this.

If you have not already, please read Part 1 of this article. Thank you.
I then need to apply time, effort, energy and commitment into the process of mixing those ingredients together — before I can bake (accomplish my goal or achieve my milestone) my cake.
I once heard a man share a riddle. He said, "How do you eat an elephant?" At his question my mind was at first boggled. And then he gave the answer and the riddle became clear. He said, "One bite at a time my friend". With his answer, I realized that I no longer needed to be overwhelmed by the size of any elephant – no matter how large those elephants may appear to be in life.
So when I start a new goal, I can follow the advice that is found with in this riddle. I can approach my goal, not as an over-whelming elephant but as some thing that can be approached and accomplished one bite at a time. By applying time, effort and commitment to the process — of accomplishing each goal — I am able to consume each "elephant" simply by making the decision to keep taking bites.
Today's Thought
In life, you may be staring at your own elephant. You may want to bake a cake, but do not know where to begin. My encouragement to you my friend is that you sit down with a pen and piece of paper. Write down what you would like to accomplish and how you could go about accomplishing that goal.
Determine what ingredients you need to have and how you can best mix those ingredients together. And then start your process — one ingredient and one bite at a time. And in the event that I can help you, please let me know. I will do my best to be there for you, as you bake your cake and eat your elephant.

Volume: 23 Issue: 8 (August 2000)
Spotlight: Boujou Provides Automatic Match-Moving
In order for CG elements to be correctly incorporated into a live-action scene, the position of the camera that originally shot the scene must be identified. Match moving programs do so by zeroing in on certain features that hold constant over a series of frames, but up until now a human being has been required to identify and label those features. Boujou, however, automatically identifies in 3D thousands of features that occur along each frame. "These could be things we wouldn't necessarily even notice," says 2d3 CEO Chris Steele, "like a spot on the ground or bits of bushes." Using these features, the software then creates 3D tracks, all the while winnowing out anomalous markers and reducing the numbers to the fewest necessary. It then outputs the camera tracking data to a Maya, 3D Studio Max, or ASCII file that animators can put to immediate use. (Output capability to Softimage XSI is in the works.)
2d3 has already been successfully tested with stock footage, says Steele, about which the company obviously had no knowledge of camera position. The process takes less than a minute per frame, or about an hour and a half for a four-second sequence. This represents a huge advance over traditional match-moving, which could require days or weeks for the four-second sequence.
"This [match moving] is a high-risk and expensive process at the moment," says Steele, one largely confined to production houses with deep pockets. With the automation provided by Boujou, he expects that smaller production houses will be able to use this technique as well.
A Pentium III-based PC and Microsoft Windows NT are required to run Boujou. An optional processing engine is available for Unix platforms. Boujou is scheduled to ship later this year. A price has not yet been announced.

A new research done by researchers from Stanford University and published April 16 in the journal JAMA Dermatology, found that free samples given by the doctors to patients as 'prescription drugs' though looks like a good deal is actually benefiting only the drug manufacturers.
A group of researchers took a close look at the data on prescriptions for adult acne medications written in 2010 by dermatologists across the United States. Dermatologists love the idea of giving out free samples and the data show that over 80% of the prescriptions written in 2010 came from free sample. This is a drastic increase from 12% reported in the year 2001.
In fact, specifically in adult acne patients 25% of prescriptions came from samples in the year 2010 which was only 10% in 2001.
"Many physicians believe that free samples have both benefits and drawbacks," study first author Michael Hurley, a Stanford medical student, said in the news release.
But even when doctors think they're doing patients a favor by handing out the freebies, critics said there can be a downside. It encourages doctors to prescribe drugs that are more expensive and potentially less safe than the work-horse generics that are just as effective.
Moreover researchers found that, for a single visit, the average retail cost of prescriptions for patients whose doctors received free samples from drug makers was about $465, compared with about $200 for patients whose doctors did not receive free samples.
The research further showed that Retin-A Micro, Differin, Benzaclin and Duac were the 4 highly prescribed acne drugs, with a free sample and without samples, by most of the dermatologists in United States.
Study senior author Dr. Alfred Lane, emeritus professor of dermatology and of pediatrics at Stanford University, said in a university news release: "Physicians may not be aware of the cost difference between brand-name and generic drugs, and patients may not realize that, by accepting samples, they could be unintentionally channeled into subsequently receiving a prescription for a more expensive medication."

The World Kind of Likes America Again
Weird, did anything big happen this past year?
A new poll measuring the attitude toward America around the globe shows huge jumps in our favorability rating over just a year ago, especially in France, Germany, Spain, Indonesia, and Mexico. In addition, almost every country (except Israel and Pakistan) is vastly more confident that America will "do the right thing" in world affairs. Hooray, now we don't have to pretend to be Canadian anymore! [Pew]

FAMU dance team suspended after hazing allegations
Published: Wednesday, September 5, 2012 at 6:29 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 5, 2012 at 6:29 a.m.
TALLAHASSEE — Florida A&M University, still reeling from the hazing-related death of a marching band drum major 10 months ago, on Tuesday suspended its Torque Dance Team following allegations of an off-campus hazing incident.
Interim President Larry Robinson said the university received an anonymous report from a parent Tuesday afternoon about an alleged incident that occurred over the Labor Day weekend.
"The University takes very seriously any allegation of hazing and has moved quickly to shut the organization down pending the outcome of an investigation," Robinson said in a news release. "We have zero tolerance for hazing. It's deplorable and will not be tolerated. It is unconscionable that a student organization would participate in any hazing activity considering what has transpired in the past year."
The campus police chief, dean of students and director of student activities were all notified of the allegations. Robinson said they've launched an investigation, but details about what may have happened weren't released.
According to university records, the dance team had already been inactive since December 2011 because it didn't have an adviser.
FAMU has cracked down on hazing since the death last November of drum major Robert Champion, who died after being beaten by fellow band members during a hazing ritual aboard a bus parked outside an Orlando hotel following a football game with Daytona Beach's Bethune-Cookman University. The Marching 100 was later suspended, meaning the band won't be playing at this season's football games.
Twelve people face felony hazing charges, while two others face misdemeanor counts. They have pleaded not guilty.
Also following Champion's death, FAMU suspended new membership intake for all clubs and organizations and implemented more strict procedures. That recruitment ban is set to be lifted this month.

I am slightly confused about the different between
$\mathrm{E}[Y|X = x]$
and similarly for Variance.
It seems to me the first should be a scalar, because we first pick a specific $X = x$ and then get the expected value of $Y$ within that set whereas the second one is a random variable that depends on the random variable $X$. Is that correct?
Any definition using the probabilities $\mathrm{P}(X)$, $\mathrm{P}(Y)$, $\mathrm{P}(Y|X)$ and $\mathrm{P}(Y, X)$ is appreciated.

Realizing the Potential of Energy Efficiency: Technology, Policy, and Finance
Get the Flash Player to see this video.
To become sustainable in terms of energy we must understand how technology, policy and finance coexist, and we must strive for efficiency first. We should focus on the low-hanging fruits - insulation, water heating, lighting systems, fuel efficient vehicles - while we work on the bigger, more expensive things. We must also be able to measure energy use in order to improve it. Google has focused some of its resources on modernizing the smart grid, resulting in the deployment of the PowerMeter. The internet giant also sees real potential in Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), and is actively researching plug-in vehicles. In order for progress to be made in these and other technologies, funding must be made reliable and policy must play a significant role.

Arizona Softball - Worth Wildcat Invitational
The top-ranked Arizona softball team plays host to a 12-game tournament this weekend, with Hawaii, Norhtern Iowa and Marshall scheduled to mix it up with UA and with each other, but weather has changed the schedule for the opening day.
Immediately after the conclusion of the opening game, a quick hailstorm forced groundskeepers to tarp the infield, then a downpour canceled the 2 and 4 p.m. games.
Officials scheduled Arizona vs. Marshall for 6 p.m., weather permitting.
UA is 6-0 overall and top-ranked in the USA Softball poll and No. 2 behind California in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association poll. Junior pitcher Alicia Hollowell earned Pac-10 player of the week honors after her second career perfect game and fifth solo no-hitter last week against Tennessee-Chattanooga.
The 2 p.m. Hawaii-Marshall game was canceled, as was the Arizona-Northern Iowa game scheduled originally for 6 p.m. The Friday schedule was revised in order to give each of the four team in the tournament a chance to play at least one game.
Note: Due to technical difficulties, live statistics for the Arizona vs. Marshall game are not available.
Revised Schedule for Friday, Feb. 18
Game 1, noon - Hawaii 3, Northern Iowa 1
Game 2, 6 p.m. - Arizona vs. Marshall
If Arizona's 6 p.m. game is not rained out, four tournament games will be played on Saturday with a schedule to be announced.

It might surprise many to learn that the first ever ecommerce purchase was not a book or article of clothing, but a Pizza Hut pizza. The chain is honoring the 20th anniversary of that first ever online purchase this week with a series of promotions, including 50% off any medium or large pizza ordered online from now until Friday.
"We want to celebrate the fact that before consumers could buy books, clothes, music or vacation packages via the internet, they could place an online order for a Pizza Hut pizza," said Carrie Walsh, chief marketing officer at Pizza Hut.
ALSO: Sprint looks to resurrect Nextel, merge Boost and Virgin Mobile
More than a year before Amazon.com came online, a crude early website called PizzaNet was born, allowing online ordering of pizza in select markets as early as 1994. A replica of the original PizzaNet website has been posted on Pizza Hut's current website as a tribute to the anniversary.
"Our focus on digital, from 1994 to today and into the future, is about creatively engaging with our customers in ways that fit their evolving lifestyles," said Rohit Kapoor, chief information officer at Pizza Hut. "We knew we were on to something 20 years ago with PizzaNet, and we haven't stopped innovating since the day that first order was placed."
The system's first ever order was a large pepperoni, mushroom and extra cheese pizza.

Europe Report N°162
8 Apr 2005
Whenever Balkan politicians discuss Kosovo's future status they warn of a "domino effect". One area frequently mentioned as vulnerable and a possible flashpoint of new violence is Serbia's Sandzak, an ethnically-mixed Muslim-Slav (Bosniak) majority region sandwiched between Montenegro, Kosovo and Bosnia. Its economy is underdeveloped and far poorer than many other regions in Serbia, partly because it was an Ottoman backwater until 1912, partly due to deliberate neglect by Serbian authorities between the world wars and under Milosevic. Belgrade should act against discrimination and otherwise show both Serbs and Bosniaks it is sensitive to their concerns in order to keep the region peaceful, as it presently is, but Sandzak's problems are mostly the same as those of the rest of Serbia and require national solutions.
Under the Milosevic regime, official state terror against the Bosniaks included ethnic cleansing of entire villages, kidnappings, murders, arbitrary arrests, beatings and dismissal from jobs. These actions increased tensions in Sandzak, and the successor Serbian governments have addressed them either half-heartedly or not at all. Given the recent history of Serbian behaviour, many Bosniaks fear for their welfare and existence, and even otherwise minor grievances often take on ethnic overtones.
Nevertheless, since Milosevic's ouster some halting and partial steps to integrate the Muslims into the Serbian political mainstream and treat them as equal citizens have been undertaken. Progress is slow -- it may take a generation for the way Serbia views its minorities truly to change -- but it is occurring. While Serbia is learning how to treat its Muslims without discrimination, the Bosniaks must make extra efforts to protect Serb rights in those areas where they form a majority and are acquiring political power.
The atmosphere in Sandzak is tense but peaceful. There are no indications of armed resistance groups or paramilitary formations among the Bosniaks, nor do there appear to be any fringe political elements capable or desirous of mobilising popular opinion to their cause. There does not appear to be a desire for interethnic conflict among the leading Bosniak political parties. The overwhelming majority of Bosniaks do not seek independence from Serbia, nor do they wish to join Bosnia & Herzegovina.
Provided the Serbian government in Belgrade uses wisdom and good judgement in dealing with the region's problems and reins in nationalist forces that could foment trouble, the potential for ethnically-based violence or conflict is relatively small, and there should be no reason for it to increase, even in the event Kosovo becomes independent. Yet, in many ways the current government is deaf to the region's problems and continues to discriminate in both overt and subtle fashion against the majority Bosniak population.
A number of forces on both sides still attempt to destabilise Sandzak through their actions. These include extremist elements within the Serbian Orthodox Church, the Wahhabi movement, the police, state security (BIA) and army security, and nationalist forces associated with the Serbian Radical Party (SRS), Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) and the Bosniak Party for Democratic Action (SDA). All seem to have a vested interest in keeping ethnic tensions at a high level.
The Orthodox Church has launched an aggressive campaign aimed at reasserting Serbian presence in the region. Simultaneously the Bosniaks are asserting their sense of national identity: Islam and linguistic issues play a prominent part in this renaissance. The Bosniak National Council is taking actions which could create ethnic apartheid and alienate Serbs. Also on the Bosniak side, there are some small yet potentially troubling radical Wahhabi elements, and indications that some Bosniaks are beginning to discriminate against the Serb minority.
Sandzak suffers from significant economic decline and ongoing loss of population. It also has all the problems endemic to Serbia as a whole: organised crime, corruption, dysfunctional state structures, and official incompetence. Some of these could be resolved if Serbia would act to end discrimination and make its minorities feel that they have a place in the country. Many others will be resolved only when Belgrade decides to take decisive action to reform the judiciary, police and economy on the national level and to decentralise. But Sandzak can and should remain peaceful provided both Serbs and Bosniaks keep a grip on their nationalist elements and make a good faith effort to find common ground.
To the Government of Serbia:
1. Attack discrimination against Bosniaks on all levels, by amending laws as well as by careful review of employment practices in public institutions and enterprises, and by providing equality of access to government services.
2. Enforce the rule of law, first and foremost by creating a secure environment in Priboj municipality that will permit refugees to return to their homes, including by bringing to justice individuals guilty of murder, arson and ethnic cleansing during the violence of the 1990s, and by taking appropriate actions against police officers charged with criminal activities, including brutality and murder.
3. Rein in Serbian nationalist forces that could stir up trouble in the region, whether they are associated with political parties, the Serbian Orthodox Church, or state security services.
To Sandzak's Bosniak Community:
4. Reduce tensions in the region by re-examining the insistence on teaching "Bosnian language" in the public school system and otherwise exercising care not to take actions that could make the Serb residents of Sandzak feel they are a threatened minority in their own country.
To Sandzak's Religious Leaders:
5. The Islamic Community and the Serbian Orthodox Church should discourage hate speech by clerics and engage in increased dialogue with each other to reduce tensions among their adherents.

College Hockey:U.S. Juniors Fall to Canada in Semis
HALIFAX, N.S. — Philadelphia Flyers defenseman prospect Jeff Woywitka scored with 8:20 left in the third period, giving Canada a 3-2 win over the United States on Friday, in the semifinals of the World Junior Championships.
Team Canada (5-0), which had a bye in the opening round of medal-round play, outshot the U.S., 42-15, and advances to the gold-medal game against Russia (5-0). Team USA (4-2), which advanced to the semifinals with a 4-3 win over the Czech Republic on Thursday, will play in the bronze-medal game on Sunday against Finland, a 4-1 loser to Russia on Friday.
The U.S. will be looking for its first medal since 1997 in Switzerland, when it won the silver, losing the gold-medal game to Canada. It is assured its best finish since 2000.
Providence's Bob Goepfert, who came in gunning for his fifth straight win in the tournament, played a strong game by stopping 39 of 42 shots for Team USA.
The United States never led in the game, tying the score in the first period on a shorthanded goal from Michigan's Eric Nystrom.
Canada scored the only goal of the second period, and at one point have five power plays compared to one for the U.S. But Team USA drew three penalties in the closing minute of the second period, and started the final period on a 5-on-3. It was able to capitalize on that chance, as Ohio State's Ryan Kesler knotted the game, 2-2, at 1:06.
Woywitka's goal came on a wrist shot, and left the Americans scrambling for the equalizer. Although Team USA withstood a 5-on-3 penalty kill, it was outshot 14-3 in the final period, and was never able to muster enough chances to tie the game.
Sunday's bronze medal game will be audiocast live at 3 p.m. (ET) on Sunday at USAHockey.com, then shown on a tape-delay basis at 7 p.m. on YES Network (DirecTV Ch. 622).
Canada, which lost to Russia in last year's final, is looking for its first gold medal since 1987.

Race Report: The All-Star Race
Matt Kenseth led Joe Gibbs Racing with a third place finish tonight in NASCAR's annual Sprint All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Meanwhile Denny Hamlin finished ninth and an early accident left Kyle Busch to finish 21st in the non-points race.
This year's Sprint All-Star race consisted of 90 total laps around the 1.5-mile oval at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The 90 laps were run in five segments, including four 20-lap segments and a final 10-lap dash to the finish. Pit stops were optional through the first three segments. Upon conclusion of the fourth 20-lap segment the running order was adjusted based upon the average finish from the first four segments. Pit road then opened for a mandatory four-tire stop and the order of the cars returning to the track determined how they took the green flag for the fifth and final segment.
The All-Star Race also has a unique qualifying format with each team completing a three-lap circuit that also includes a four-tire pit stop. Kyle Busch put together the second best time during the evening's qualifying session, while Matt Kenseth was eighth and Denny Hamlin slid through his pit box causing a slower time and leaving him to start the race in 22nd.

Cuvée Catharine Rosé Brut
our wine / Cuvée Catharine
"A lovely sparkling rose made from chardonnay and pinot noir by the method used in champagne (although the label can't express it in that way). You'll find very attractive, vibrant fruit flavours here, and they're echoed by the crisp, refreshing texture and fine bubbles. This is a lovely wine for the summer (or winter) table and it's great for roast turkey, salads and spicy dished featuring chicken and seafood" – 4.5 Stars
"One of the classiest pint bubblies from Ontario shows a subtle nose of fresh raspberry, icing sugar and fresh bread-altogether like a delicate raspberry pastry. It's light to mid-weight and vaguely sweet, with a fine, racy effervescence and a drier, bracing finish. Very good length." – 90 points
– David Lawrason, WineAlign.com, October 2012
Named in memory of Henry's wife, widow and family matriarch, Catharine Smith. Clonal selection and the use of traditional grape varieties (Chardonnay & Pinot Noir) makes this wine a modern Niagara expression of a time honoured wine style. The secondary fermentation is done in bottle and this wine is aged for approximately 24+ months on the lees before disgorging.
Winemaker's Notes
• Made from the blending of 70-80% Pinot Noir with 20-30% Chardonnay
• Grapes were hand picked and bunch selected. Gently whole cluster pressed.
• Secondary fermentation was finished in bottle followed by a further 30 months aging on the lees
Food Matches
Salmon caviar with sour cream; Malpeque oysters with a hint of lemon.
- Varietal: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay
- Geographic Designation: VQA Niagara Peninsula
- Alcohol Percentage: 12%

First off, the latest transaction post from Baseball America has just one previously unreported item. Justino Cuevas has been released by the Nationals. The 23-year-old batted .281/.304/.432 last season as a reserve for the Hagerstown Suns and Potomac Nationals. No further details are available, but in my opinion, this move may be to his benefit and give him a chance to hook on with another organization while Spring Training is in full swing.
Secondly, the City Council of Winchester bowed to public pressure and unanimously voted down a measure to transfer land to a redevelopment agency, effectively killing the plan to lure the Hagerstown Suns.
This is good news for the folks hoping the Suns will remain in Hagerstown, but as written when this story first surfaced in the dead of winter, this is par for the course in the minors. Ownership groups routinely play one city off another in hopes of a better deal, a better facility, etc. It's their right because the team is, after all, a business. Municipalities also have the right to say no, because it's their duty to decide what constitutes a fair use of public monies.
In essence, the situation has returned to where it was before Winchester made its pitch. The question is whether the three players in the game (Hagerstown, the Suns' owners, and the Nationals) are willing to work towards extending the PDC sooner vs. later, as one of this site's contributors hopes.
2 Responses to "A Couple Of Updates"
Improvements to Potomac's field has yielded promising fruit …
— IronMan the movie
Two top prospects, Rendon and Purke will be starting there. Combine perhaps Goodwin and the go-getters from Hagerstown … even with the trade and the loss of Cole still looks to be an interesting roster to follow.
[…] PDC expires at the end of this season. While a bid by Winchester has recently fallen flat, it would appear that the interested parties are still in talks, enough to not join in on this […]

In Chrome on Windows I usually save images by dragging them from the browser to the folder I want to save them to. I prefer this method compared to navigating through the file browser as it is much faster.
When I do the same in Ubuntu it saves a link to the image instead of the actual image. Is there any way to change this behavior?

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), struck-by hazards are one of the four most deadly hazards found at the construction sites. The other three includes falls, electrocution and caught in or between. Each year workers die from struck-by accidents.
In 2007, there were 504 deaths in the United States from struck-by accidents. Of these 311 deaths were in construction. Approximately 26% of deaths are in construction from struck-by accidents and about 10% of all occupational deaths are from struck-by accidents.
Struck-by hazards exist anytime a worker could be struck or hit by an object. Working or walking below elevated work surfaces may expose one to falling objects. Also materials being moved overhead could also expose one to falling objects.
I have witnessed situations in my experience where individual workers have been struck by falling objects from ladders where items was stored and scaffolding with no toe-boards.
In order to be safe from struck-by situations the following suggestions should be followed.
1. Keep a safe distance from suspended loads.
2. Store materials properly.
3. Power tools and activities such as pushing, pulling or prying can create flying objects.
4. Grinding or striking materials can create object hazards.
5. Do not work under loads as they are being lifted.
6. Secure all loads and lift them evenly to prevent them from slipping.
7. Never work near vehicle traffic without barricades.
This is not a complete list but by examining the hazards associated with struck-by situations and acting on them will prevent hazards.
Always remember to protect yourself and others when working in areas where potential struck-by hazards exist.

Most recruiters and hiring managers see several resumes a day, at least, when they are actively hiring for a role. Because of the high volume of job applicants, it is important to have a successful resume that can capture the attention of a hiring authority and get you the opportunity to make your pitch in person. So, what's the top mistake we see on resumes that could be holding you back from the coveted call-back? Here's a hint: it's not font choice, page length, or even spelling and grammar. The biggest mistake seen on resumes is found in the nature of the content itself.
Think back to the last time you updated your resume. Like most, you probably typed up a paragraph or a few bullet points about what your job entailed. It is in this stage that the fatal error usually occurs. Job applicants have developed the tendency to essentially write out their job description. While saying things like, "supervised employees," "implemented cost saving initiatives," and "worked with time keeping software" does tell employers what job you were hired to do, these terms do very little to explain whether or not you were actually any good at doing it. When you're stacked next to hundreds, if not thousands, of other people who have done the same things, your resume isn't going to stand out if it's only detailing your job description.
Instead of including the vague terminology, try to find ways to specify. Quantify and qualify your information wherever possible. For example, saying things like, "led a team of five employees and brought absenteeism down by 30% under my leadership," "identified a total of $100,000 in cost saving opportunities," and "implemented Kronos software across three locations" paints a much clearer picture of where you've been an asset to the business. Your resume is going to go further if it can provide examples of where you've succeeded in the past. Getting specific about programs you've used, operations you've performed, promotions you've received, and projects you've worked on will make your resume go from a vague job description to an explanation of the actionable, tangible processes you've used, and more importantly of times when they've worked.
As you're updating your resume, remember to show and not tell wherever possible. Saying that you were responsible for hiring and recruiting is going to pack less of a punch, whereas describing a time when you hired 53 people in six months as part of a growth initiative will help differentiate you from the crowd. By defining and refining the information that you give, you'll help your resume stand out - and standing out has never been more crucial than in today's competitive job market.
Of course, you shouldn't let the content detract from the importance of the rest of the resume. Even with all of the detailed information, your goal should still be to keep your resume under three pages, or close to it. Spelling and grammar still matter, too - and yes, even font choice counts. Once your resume is dressed for success, your only worry will be what to wear to the interview.

White, Hispanic and African American women were surveyed in public health and low-income clinics in Los Angeles, CA and Seattle, WA, to determine if they delayed seeking prenatal care because of battering during their pregnancies. Results from 162 White, 208 Hispanic and 132 African American participants revealed that the incidence of abuse was not significantly different among ethnic groups. Battered women sought prenatal care 6.5 weeks later than the nonabused sample, with a similar delay in each ethnic group. 21% reported physical harm during pregnancy, and 13.7% stated they had delayed care because of injuries.

Subjects were matched for age and socioeconomic status (SES). Data were collected via a semistructured interview schedule consisting of three instruments. Results show more similarities than differences in the manifestation of wife abuse between the two groups. However, Anglo-American women perceived more types of behavior as being abusive and exhibited a less tolerant attitude toward wife abuse than did Mexican-American women.

Are buttercups poisonous?
By Your Horse
Buttercups have a very acrid taste so horses don't usually eat them.It is the pollen that contains the poison. This 'dust' can be blown onto surrounding grass and causes irritation and swelling in the mouth when eaten. Buttercups are not poisonous in hay.

European telcos claim Apple, Google should pay for network improvements
A group of European carriers is arguing that companies such as Apple, Google, and Facebook should help pay for the multi-billion dollar network investments needed to support their bandwidth-intensive services, according to a Bloomberg report. "Service providers are flooding networks with no incentive" to cut costs, said France Telecom Chief Executive Officer Stephane Richard last month. "It's necessary to put in place a system of payments by service providers as a function of their use." Richard addressed the issue at the "Le Web" conference in Paris this week, and has joined with Telecom Italia CEO Franco Bernabe and Telefonica SA CEO Cesar Alierta in arguing for a new business model. Bernabe said that the disparity between investments and revenue "is set to compromise the economic sustainability of the current business model for telecom companies," adding that Apple, Google, Facebook, and Skype "increasingly look like integrated operators in the telecom network sector."
The article sites IDC as estimating that the number of mobile data connections in western Europe will rise by an average of 15 percent a year to 270 million in 2014, while overall end-user revenue will fall about 1 percent a year. Canalys adds that carriers' average spending on network infrastructure over the same period will jump 28 percent to roughly $3.8 billion. Companies like Google and Yahoo! "use Telefonica's networks for free, which is good news for them and a tragedy for us," Alierta said in February. "That can't continue." Perhaps unsurprisingly, the service providers themselves don't agree with the carriers' position. "Currently about 40 percent of our expenses go to networks anyway—servers, peering, our content delivery network, and other resources," said Giuseppe de Martino, legal and regulatory director for Paris-based online-video service Dailymotion SA. "If telecom operators want us to share in their expenses, perhaps we should talk about sharing subscription revenues as well."
Apple releases VoiceOver Kit 1.4 for iPod nano, shuffle
Apple has released version 1.4 of its VoiceOver Kit for the fifth-generation iPod nano and third- and fourth-generation iPod shuffle. VoiceOver enables the devices to announce the names of playlists, songs, and artists, as well as battery status and other messages. According to Apple's release notes, the new version offers pronunciation improvements for many artist and song names, improved voices for Korean, German, and Russian, and fourth-generation iPod shuffle support for Hungarian, Romanian, Slovak, and Thai languages. VoiceOver Kit 1.4 is a 32.5MB download and is available for download now via Apple's Software Update utility.
Apple sending out free iTunes Movie Rental codes?
Apple has started sending out free iTunes Movie Rental codes to select iTunes users, according to a new report. Citing an email received by a reader, 9 to 5 Mac reports that the included code is good for one rental from iTunes' library of over 8,500 movies, and that the distribution of the codes seems to be random. Most likely, Apple is attempting to use the promotion to raise awareness of Movie Rentals on the iTunes Store, perhaps hoping to boost sales of the second-generation Apple TV in the process.
Apple now selling iPad Gift Card packages
Apple's retail stores are now offering "iPad Gift Card" packages for the holidays. As seen in our photos, the iPad gift cards aren't specially-printed cards with iPad imagery on them, but instead appear to be standard Apple Store gift cards that have been placed inside iPad-specific packaging. Interestingly, customers weren't initially able to purchase iPads with Apple Store gift cards, as company policy required users to pay with a debit or credit card.
EA exec: Apple would have 'good chance' in console market
In an interview with CVG, Electronic Arts vice president Patrick Soderlund said he believes Apple would have a fighting chance in the video game console market should it choose to enter. When asked whether Apple would have a shot at challenging Sony and Microsoft in the console market, Soderlund said, "If it was anyone but Apple, I'd say that's going to be very hard." He continued, "I still think it's going to be extremely hard for them but they've surprised many people before. Look at what they did with the iPhone, right? They are a truly brilliant company so I would give them a relatively good chance to succeed if they tried." [via MDN]
Apple, publishers disagree on iTunes subscription terms
Apple is at a standstill in talks with magazine publishers over the terms of a potential iTunes subscription model, according to a new report. Citing anonymous publishing sources, AllThingsD reports that Apple is offering publishers the ability to sell app subscriptions through iTunes, 70 percent of revenue, and the ability to offer a simple opt-in form for gleaning name, address, and e-mail address. The publishers are apparently unhappy with the revenue split model, preferring to sell subscriptions themselves, but are more at odds over the lack of access to subscribers' credit card data, which is valuable to them for marketing purposes and allows them to bundle the digital subscriptions with traditional print media. The report also notes that a News Corp. executive said the company's upcoming iPad newspaper the Daily won't launch until the first quarter of 2011, but expects it to showcase a new "push" feature from Apple that will allow new issues to be downloaded to an iPad automatically. Notably, News Corp. owns AllThingsD.
Apple makes changes to Universal Dock package
Apple has made a number of small but notable changes to its Apple Universal Dock kit. The new set includes the Universal Dock, which looks similar to the company's 2007 model, Apple's new aluminum Remote, Dock Adapters to fit the iPhone 4, iPhone 3G/3GS, iPod touch 2G/3G, iPod touch 4G, and iPod nano 5G, a USB power adapter and USB cable. Perhaps due to the inclusion of the charger, the revised Universal Dock package now sells for $59, compared to $49 for the prior version. Apple's new Universal Dock is available now. [via Mac Rumors]
Update: Apple has also made changes to its Component and Composite AV Cable packages, lowering the price on each by $10 to $39, while removing the USB Power Adapter. [Thanks, Tim]
Apple posts new 4.2.1-focused iPad TV spot
Apple has posted its latest iPad television ad, focusing on the new features of iOS 4.2.1. Like its prior "iPad is…" commercials, the new spot—entitled "iPad is Amazing"—shows the iPad being used mostly in front of a white background, utilizing a variety of different apps and features. The spot starts with the words "iPad is" on the screen, and is followed by a different app or feature demonstration, along with a descriptor—including "creating," "printing," "vital," "ideas," "multi-tasking," "facts," "figures," and "amazing," the last showing a movie being streamed to an Apple TV using AirPlay. As with the prior "iPad is" ads, it features the song "Never Stop" by Gonzales in the background. Apple's new "iPad is Amazing" ad is available for viewing on the company's website.
Apple updates Game Center ToS, adds full names
Apple has updated its Game Center terms of service, notifying users that their full names will be used in conjunction with friend requests. "We have changed the Game Center terms and conditions to provide you notice that if you send a friend invitation, the full name associated with your Apple ID will be shared with the recipient," the new document states. "If you accept a friend invitation, the full name associated with your Apple ID will be shared with the sender." Notably, it appears users' full names will not be shared with other users sending unknown friend requests, unless they accept the invitations.
Apple's data center chief passes away
Olivier Sanche, Apple's Director of Global Data Center Operations, passed away last week after suffering a heart attack, according to a new report. Citing Tweets and blog postings from some of Sanche's friends, Data Center Knowledge reports that Sanche joined Apple in August 2009, and oversaw the preparations for the company's new $1 billion data center in North Carolina. Prior to Apple, Sanche headed data center teams at AT&T, Telecity Group and eBay; for the latter, he oversaw the design and construction of eBay's "Topaz" data center in Utah, which recently received LEED Gold certification for its sustainable construction. "Olivier loved being at Apple as he could do things he could get done nowhere else," friend Dave Ohara wrote. "He had vision, passion, and drive to do the right thing, especially for the environment."
Apple adds lawyers ahead of patent legal battles
Apple has added to its legal team ahead of key legal battles with rival companies Nokia, HTC, and Motorola. Bloomberg Businessweek reports that Apple and Nokia are squaring off before the International Trade Commission this week, with each side alleging intellectual property violations. "These are very well-known, deep-pocketed, high-end manufacturers," said Lyle Vander Schaaf, an attorney at Brinks Hofer Gilson & Lione in Washington, who handles cases before the ITC. "Usually you have one 800-pound gorilla going after a new entrant. Here you've got 800-pound gorillas fighting each other." According to the report, Apple has been the most-sued technology company since 2008, and has hired some of the country's top patent lawyers as outside counsel, with experience representing companies such as Creative Technology, Broadcom, and Merck & Co. Apple also added an in-house attorney to its ranks this year, hiring former Sun Microsystems head of IP counsel Noreen Krall; Krall now focuses on intellectual property litigation for Apple.
Apple purchases former HP campus in Cupertino
Apple has confirmed the purchase of a 98-acre site near its existing headquarters in Cupertino, CA. The site has served as a longtime campus for rival tech company Hewlett-Packard, and sits across the street from a 50-acre site that Apple acquired in 2006 and had previously announced as the location for a planned second campus. "We now occupy 57 buildings in Cupertino and our campus is bursting at the seams," Apple spokesman Steve Dowling told the San Jose Mercury News. "These offices will give us more space for our employees as we continue to grow." Apple and HP declined to give the sale price or any specifics of the transaction, although local real estate experts suggest the asking price may have been $300 million or more.
Apple offers 'Cyber Monday' discounts
Apple is offering discounts on a select group of accessories for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod in celebration of "Cyber Monday," the online counterpart to Black Friday. The discounts include $40 off the Beats by Dr. Dre Beatbox speaker, $20 off Beats by Dr. Dre Solo HD Headphones, $4 off the Twelve South Compass Portable Stand for iPad, and $13 off an iPhone-friendly Cole Haan Zip Wallet. These and the other discounts are available today only on Apple's online store.
News Corp. to announce iPad newspaper at Apple event?
A pair of new reports suggest that News Corp, headed by Rupert Murdoch, will announce a new tablet-based newspaper at an upcoming Apple event. The Guardian reports that the new paper, called the Daily, is a collaboration between Apple and News Corp and has been under development in New York for several months. The report goes on to state that the paper will cost 99 cents per week, and will be able to be delivered automatically to an iPad using a new subscription plan from Apple.
John Gruber of Daring Fireball, in linking to the aforementioned report, suggests that the initiative will launch with a press event, with Murdoch—and possibly other newspaper and magazine executives—joining Steve Jobs on stage. In addition, Gruber states that he'd heard December 9th as possible date for the event, but notes that this is a Thursday, an unusual day for Apple to hold a press event. Gruber goes on to state that based on information from sources outside Apple, the event will not be for a central "iNews" or "Newsstand" app from Apple, but will instead be for a new recurring subscription billing option for apps, paid through the user's iTunes account. He also states that the News Corp developers working on the new Daily app have been given "preliminary documentation on the new subscription billing APIs from Apple."
Apple to hold special Black Friday shopping event
Apple has begun emailing past customers of its retail and online stores, notifying them of a special one-day Apple shopping event this Friday, November 26. According to the notice, Apple's retail stores will open at 8:00 a.m. on Friday, while customers visiting the online store will have all day to place an order. In the past, Apple has offered modest sales on select products during such events; last year, it offered a discount of $101 on all MacBook Pro laptop computers as well as $31 discount on 32GB iPod touch models.
Second-gen Apple TV updated to 4.1
Apple has released a software update for the second-generation Apple TV bringing the device's software up to version 4.1. Notably, the update includes support for AirPlay streaming from a device running iOS 4.2 or from a Mac or PC running iTunes 10 to the Apple TV. In addition, it adds support for VoiceOver spoken menus; the feature can be turned on via a setting in the Accessibility menu, and reads both the names of menu items and metadata, including episode descriptions of TV shows. Apple TV software 4.1 is available now via the Update Software menu item in the device's General settings menu.
Apple releases iOS 4.2 for iPad, iPhone, iPod touch
As expected, Apple has released iOS 4.2 for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. The anticipated update, announced during Apple's September iPod event, brings iOS 4 features such as multitasking and folders to the iPad for the first time, while also adding new features like AirPlay wireless media streaming and AirPrint wireless printing to the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. Notably, the software update requires iTunes 10.1, and is available now for the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad, and second-, third-, and fourth-generation iPod touch via the Update feature in iTunes.
iOS 4.2 for iPad, iPhone, iPod touch coming later today
Apple has announced that it will release iOS 4.2 for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch later today. Announced during Apple's September media event, the update will bring previously iPhone- and iPod touch-exclusive features like multitasking and a unified Mail inbox to the iPad, and will also add new features like AirPlay streaming and AirPrint wireless printing to all three devices. Apple is expected to release iOS 4.2 around 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
Apple seeds iOS 4.2.1 GM amid reports of VoIP bug
Apple has seeded a new Gold Master version of iOS 4.2, labeled iOS 4.2.1, to developers. Unlike the secondary GM seed of iOS 4.2 released exclusively for the iPad, this new build is available for all capable devices, including the iPad, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, and the second-, third-, and fourth-generation iPod touch. While it is unclear whether Apple now plans to skip a general release of iOS 4.2 and go directly to iOS 4.2.1, an email from Toktumi, makers of the Line2 VoIP application, suggests a communications bug may have led Apple to release the new build. According to the email, reprinted by Mac Rumors, the GM version of iOS 4.2 contained a "severe" bug that caused any VoIP app running in the background to continuously ring after receiving an incoming call, even after the call is answered. The email states that Apple Developer Support is aware of the bug; it is unknown whether iOS 4.2.1 includes a fix for the issue. iOS 4.2.1 GM is available as a download for paid iOS developers from Apple's iOS Dev Center.
Apple to launch iAd in Europe in December
Apple has announced that it will launch its iAd mobile advertising network in the UK and France this December, with Germany to follow in February. According to the release, the European iAd launch will see new ads from L'Oréal, Renault, Louis Vuitton, Nespresso, Perrier, Unilever, Citi, Evian, LG Display, AB InBev, Turkish Airlines and Absolute Radio. Apple claims that iAd has signed on over half of the top 25 leading US national advertisers in just four months, with a projected 21 percent share of US mobile display advertising revenue for 2010 according to research firm IDC. Also mentioned in the release is a seemingly new iAd website, advertising.apple.com.
"We're thrilled to add leading global brands to the iAd Network in Europe and create even more great opportunities for developers," said Andy Miller, Apple's vice president of iAd. "In just four months, we've doubled the number of advertisers on the network and thousands of developers now have a valuable new source of revenue."
"As the world leader in the beauty business, L'Oréal aims to create the most meaningful connections between its brands and its customers, so iAd was a natural choice," said Marc Menesguen, L'Oréal's Head of strategic marketing. "We're thrilled by the quality, the interactivity and the depth of iAd's user experience, giving us an unparalleled opportunity to reach and serve the most engaged and discerning customers at the digital forefront of beauty, hence our choice of Lancôme to lead our iAd campaign."
