April 29, 2013
• UMass opens a crucial final week of regular-season play, beginning Tuesday with a doubleheader at Rhode Island. The Minutewomen have six Atlantic 10 games remaining and are currently in sixth place in the league standings.• SJU leads the A-10 with a .778 winning pct, followed closely by George Washington at .750, Fordham at .722, Temple at .722, Saint Louis at .611 and UMass at .562. Dayton is seventh at .526, with Charlotte and Butler tied for eighth at .438. St. Bonaventure, La Salle and Rhode Island have been eliminated from tournament contention.

Live stats will be available both games at UMassAthletics.com.
About UMass• UMass brings a 15-22 record into the contests and is 9-7 through 16 league games. The Minutewomen are coming off a 1-3 weekend in which they claimed a one-run win over Saint Joseph's before dropping a close one to the Hawks and a doubleheader at Temple on Sunday.• UMass has six players hitting .300 or better overall, with all seven at .370 or higher in A10 play. The Minutewomen lead the league in hitting over conference games with a .369 avg.
About Rhode Island• Rhode Island enters the doubleheader at 9-32 overall, 2-13 in A-10 play and 2-6 at home. The Rams have lost their last 13 games with five of those by run-rule. Last weekend they took Temple to nine innings on Friday before falling 9-7 and dropped a pair of one-run games (1-0 in 10 innings and 2-1) at Saint Joseph's on Sunday.• URI is hitting .245 as a team which ranks 10th in the A-10, and average 3.0 runs per game, last in the 12-team league. The Rams' pitching staff has compiled a 5.61 ERA, two behind UMass at 5.0 which ranks ninth.

The series is the most played in school history dating back to the first game in program annals, a 4-1 UMass win in Amherst on April 8, 1976.• The Minutewomen have won the last 22 in the series. The Rams' last win came in Kingston in the opening game of the 2002 Atlantic 10 Championship Tournament. UMass has thrown six no-hitters against URI.• A year ago, UMass swept URI in a midweek doubleheader in Amherst with a 5-4 win and a 9-1 five inning win.Sara Plourde got the win in both games as she struck out a combined 26 batters in the twinbill.• In the last trip to Kingston in 2011, the teams went to extra innings in game one before UMass scored six in the ninth to secure a 6-1 win/ The Minutewomen followed by scoring in every inning of an 11-1 victory in five frames.
Directions To URI Campus & Softball Complex• The following directions are taken from GoRhody.com at this link.• From Newport:Take Route -138 West towards Jamestown and New YorkMerge onto Route 1 SouthThen Take a right onto Route -138 WFollow route 138 West for approximately 5 milesRight onto Plains Rd. and follow signs to Parking• From the North:Take I-95 SouthTake Exit #9 a Left exit to route 4 South towards Newport/South CountyMerge onto RI-4 South Take Exit #5B Route 102 towards ExeterTake a Left at the second traffic light onto South County Trail - Route 2 Follow route 2 for approximately 7 milesTake a left at the traffic light onto route-138W/Kingstown Rd.At your second traffic light take a left onto Plains Rd. and follow signs to Parking• From the South:Take 95 NorthGet off at exit #3A Route 138 East towards Kingston and NewportFollow Route RI-138West/Kingstown Rd. for approximately 8 milesTake a Left onto Plains Rd. and follow signs to Parking
Bats Coming Alive Over Past Four Weeks• It's pretty safe to say that the UMass offense hit a low point of the season on March 17 when it failed to get a hit in a 5-0 loss to UNLV. But since that day, UMass has hit .363 over the past 20 games and seen its team batting average climb in 14 of the 16 games, going from .201 to .288. The Minutewomen have also collected double-digit hits in 10 of their last 15 ball games.
Mound Work Developing As Well• In addition to the offense doing its part, the pitching staff has become more efficient and seen its ERA decrease to its lowest figure all season, at 4.77. While still not as low as many would prefer, the number has remained the same or gone lower then the previous game in the last eight games. They are still walking a lot of batters, averaging 5.8 per game over the past nine and 5.2 for the season.
Fielding Still A Work In Progress• The defense has been the one part of this UMass team that hasn't followed the lead of its previous teams. The Minutewomen are last in the Atlantic 10 in both fielding pct. (.925) and errors (80). They also turned a school-record four double plays against Fordham earlier this month and have 11 on the season.
Hitting Streaks Entering The Week• Cyndil Matthew was the only player to hit safely in all four games last weekend and brings a 4-game hitting streak into the URI series. Quianna Diaz-Patterson, Tiffany Meeks and Teea Rogers all have 3-game streaks.

Dejobaan and Radial Games Impregnate You with a Monster
// May 18th, 2012 // Dejobaan News, Monster Loves You!
We are working with Steambirds-creator, Flash dev extraordinaire Andy Moore of Radial Games on Monster Loves You!, that's part Tamagotchi, part RPG, and 100% awesome game for mobile.
We interviewed Andy for his perspective on Monster Loves You!'s development. He describes it as "Not one that's cheap and full of those little draws that get you to come back just because they said so. No, no! This game is better than that. We want to make a version of the game that moreso relies on content to draw the player back than anything. I think it'll be a blast."
But just how did Radial and we begin courting? Andy recalls, "I think we both awkwardly just kinda looked at our toes at the high school dance and neither of us wanted to ask each other out. But one day we got drunk and just blubbered over each other, and next thing I knew I was pregnant with this game!"
What's with the name Monster Loves You!? The name was actually "Alien Baby" for the longest time. Andy shares, "We finally got sick of it and started an email thread, bouncing random ideas off of each other. As soon as someone said 'Love' I think it struck a chord; we knew we wanted the game to have the kind of attachment that makes the player more attached to the creature. We kinda riffed off of that for a bit and ended up with 'Monster Loves You!'. I think it's a Dejobaan-y style game name."
As for why this game is "being," Andy says it will offer something that currently doesn't exist. "I think the closest I've really come to playing an enjoyable 'pet' game is The Sims 2, which was an excellent title but just demands WAY too much of my time. I want a similar experience – something with all that drama, character development, and ups and downs… but that I can play on the toilet."
We asked Andy what the world should know about him, and he was extremely modest. "Aw shucks. I don't think the world really needs to know about me, in general. I'm just a dude that's trying to make a good game that people will enjoy. I don't particularly care if I end up living out of cardboard box if the game flops, but I'm trying to avoid that too."
This monster… loves you.

Companies with specialized requirements, such as pharmaceuticals manufacturers, have traditionally been hesitant to outsource distribution. But as technology improves, many third-party logistics providers (3PLs) are better suited to serve companies with specialized logistics requirements.

One of the recent trends in retail ecommerce is dropshipping. Dropshipping is a model where an online store sells product without keeping it in inventory. Instead, the store works with a supplier or manufacturer to ship the product directly to the customer.
We're always talking with our clients about ways to improve their operations. For example, we're often asked how to reduce the number of returns or the best ways to manage inventory. Regardless of where improvements are needed, the insight we gain and the recommendations we make are rooted in data. And that data almost always comes from KPI's.
The only constant in life – and in the logistics industry – is change. Maybe you've released a new product, or are discontinuing a current one. Maybe you're merging with another company. Regardless of your unique situation, changes in the ecommerce industry and your business can alter your capacity and impact your logistics.
Product returns are one of the biggest contributing factors to loss. If too much product ends up back on your shelves, it can mean that your customers aren't happy with their interactions with your company or your products. And too many returns create overwhelmed warehouse operations, in addition to losing potential profits.
Since we're located in the heart of Indiana, I admit that we're a little biased when we talk about the logistics industry in the Midwest. But when you take a critical look at the industry, such as in this infographic, distributing from the Midwest is a good business decision for many retailers.
It might not be the most glamorous, but meticulously tracking your inventory is one of the most crucial aspects of warehouse management. There's a lot to keep track of and a myriad of ways you can get it done.
Retailers, we're entering uncharted territory in ecommerce fulfillment. Consumers today have higher expectations for their customer experience than ever, and it's up to you to meet them. How can you stay ahead of the curve and keep your customers happy?
At the beginning of 2015, UPS and FedEx shifted their billable weight rules to account for the dimensional weight of all ground shipments. Here's the original statement from FedEx on the matter.
We're excited to put the MKM spotlight on one of our new ecommerce fulfillment clients, the Experience Music Project (EMP) Museum Shop. The EMP Museum Shop has a great ecommerce site offering niche pop culture gifts for geeks and rock 'n' roll fans alike: think Nirvana, Star Wars, and Doctor Who. Online consumer orders from the EMP Museum Store ship directly from MKM ecommerce fulfillment centers.
Clients across a variety of industries consider MKM Distribution Services an integral and important part of their business strategy. Contact us to learn more.

In 1949, Texans established a public school finance system that included funding from local tax bases. This revenue was to be used for local enrichment. More than 60 years ago, local control was recognized as the key for local districts to flourish. Since the Texas Legislature reduced property taxes by one-third in 2006 (from $1.50 to $1.00) there has been a school finance revenue deficit each year. The legislature adds new funding formulas, increasing the number of Revenue-Contributing School Districts (Chapter 41), which while increasing revenue in the short-term, spreads the loss of local control to more and more districts. Districts must have meaningful discretion to make decisions that reflect the values of their local community. Local discretion is lost, however, when Revenue-Contributing School payments to the state reach 50 percent or more.
In Northwest ISD, administration and staff continue to work diligently to protect the quality of teaching and the exceptional educators working in our classrooms. In the 2010-2011 school year, school district officials developed a set of Guiding Principles to assist administration and staff in determining budget reductions.The district's $8.2 million in budget cuts for the 2011-12 school year focused on operational costs, preserving the quality of education for your children. Also, the district will send $17 million in recapture money to the state to be redistributed to property-poor school districts. In 2012-13, Northwest will need to cut $12.8 million from the budget . In addition to the loss of state funding that results in local budget cuts, districts are expected to implement and meet the rigor of the state's new accountability system, STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) and EOC (end-of-course) exams.
The finance system for Texas public education is at a critical juncture, particularly for Chapter 41, or Revenue-Contributing School Districts. The fact lawsuits are being filed against the state of Texas by districts of widely varying property wealth reinforces the consensus that today's finance system is badly broken. After the courts issue a final ruling in the case, it will be up to the Texas Legislature (most likely in 2013) to revise the school finance system.
It is important to learn more about this complicated issue, monitor the latest developments, the status of the lawsuits, and share this information with others in the community. This website will provide tools and resources to become more informed and engaged.

Ben Van Houten, the father of sextuplets, has died. Houten was only 39 years old and had just set up a trampoline for his seven children when the heart attack hit. Van Houten had seven children, the sextuplets are ten and he also had a seven-year-old daughter, according to MSN News on April 11.
The sextuplets made headline news 10 years ago when Ben's wife Amy gave birth to all six children in a three-day period back in 2004. The six kids were born in Grand Rapids Hospital, near Holland, Michigan where the Van Houtons live. He was a dad who was always with his kids, said his father-in-law, Calvin Reimink.
"Just to know Ben for even one day would be a blessing," Reimink said when talking about his son-in-law to the press. Sue Herweyer of Dykstra Life Story Funeral Homes in Holland said that Ben died Wednesday night. The couple became an overnight sensation with the birth of their sextuplets back in 2004.
After setting up the trampoline in the yard, Van Houten started to play with his kids when he had the heart attack. Van Houten's own father died when he was 40 from a heart attack. The pictures online today show Van Houten with his kids through the years since they were born, according to the Holland Sentinel today.
Ben spoke with the Holland Sentinel back in 2007 and he said it was the support of the community that helped get the kids to where they were today. Their hometown newspaper has interviewed the Van Houten's through the years and Ben would usually let his wife Amy do all the talking. He did however voice the joys of being a father to his loving brood.
Ben's wife Amy released a statement through their church calling her husband the "most selfless" person she has ever met. Ben and Amy had been married 15 years. The six babies were very tiny at birth, with the largest only weighing in at two pounds. Two of the sextuplets have cerebal palsy.

According to a Feb. 12 report from MMA Fighting, UFC President Dana White seems willing to let fast-rising lightweight contender Gilbert Melendez (22-3) walk away from the promotion.
The UFC has been trying to hammer out a new deal with Melendez for the past several months, but talks have apparently slowed to a near standstill.
"I'm done," White said. "It's not going well. I couldn't care less about it anymore. I like Gilbert Melendez, I don't like his management."
It probably doesn't help Melendez that his manager also manages former UFC champ Georges St-Pierre, a fighter the UFC has recently butted heads with.
"Being Georges St-Pierre's best friend, doesn't make you a good manager," White said of Melendez's manager, Rodolphe Beaulieu.
White apparently doesn't want to deal with Melendez's contract negotiations. He advised his manager to talk to Lorenzo Fertitta about it.
"If he (Melendez) wants to fight in the UFC, he better talk to (UFC co-owner) Lorenzo (Fertitta) quick," White said.
Analysis: Is there any chance the UFC actually lets Melendez test the open market? Probably not.
No matter how much money Melendez is looking for, it would be worth it for the UFC to pay up. The UFC is constantly looking for fighters who have an exciting standup striking style, and that's exactly what Melendez brings to the table.
He's coming off an epic "Fight of the Year" performance against Diego Sanchez, a bout where Melendez threw leather for 15 solid minutes.
It would be devastating for the UFC to let Melendez walk away to a top rival such as Bellator or the World Series of Fighting, just because of a contract disagreement.

The Kids Are All Right ... What About the Parents?
Loving your adult children, even when they don't do it your way.
All of us have dreams for our children. Usually, we hope they'll turn out a lot like us...only better. We spend years raising them, passing along our values, encouraging their independence, and crossing our fingers. Mostly, we hope they will make choices that bring us joy. When they do not, it can often be crushing.
Where did I go wrong? "It's the first thing parents say when a child makes a disappointing decision," says Jane Adams, psychologist and author of When Our Grown Kids Disappoint Us. "The answer is that you probably did nothing wrong. Many parents fail to understand how different their children's world is—culturally, economically, technologically, socially. This leads them to make different choices. They choose their own brand of happiness, not ours. There isn't anything a parent can do except learn to live with it."
Such acceptance may be more difficult, of course, when children engage in activities that are illegal or harmful to themselves or others. But what if the differences that disturb us are genetic?
Out of the Closet
"The same movie plays in our heads as our kids are growing up—they'll be straight, they'll marry someone wonderful and live in a house with a white picket fence," says Helaine Barth (all names of parents and children are pseudonyms), a divorced mother who works in the financial industry. "Then all of a sudden our kids are 18, 19 years old or sometimes older, and they give us this revelation, and it's a huge change from what we were expecting."
Here's how the movie changed for this mother. "My son Jason was home on a break from college and I happened to ask him about a girl I thought he had a crush on. A very beautiful girl and talented dancer. He turned to me and said, 'Mom, she and I are really good friends, but, actually, I'm gay.'
"I'll remember that moment forever. The first thing I said was, 'Are you sure?' And he said, 'Yes, I'm absolutely sure.' So I just said 'I love you and I'm glad you told me, and everything will be all right.' But I was not all right. I really struggled with this. The first thoughts I had were: Will he be hurt? Will he get AIDS? Will he have a good life? I had no one to talk to. For a while, I had this ridiculous idea that I was the only mother in Manhattan who had a gay son."
Accepting the news came about in stages. "The first was shock and disappointment," says Helaine. "You know, having children is sometimes all about ourselves. We love our children's achievements because they reflect well on us, and Jason was a wonderful kid. This was the first thing in his life that I did not consider wonderful."
The second stage was acquiring knowledge. "One day, I came upon an article in the Times," she recalls. "It mentioned an organization named PFLAG. (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays). I started going to meetings where I met others who shared this common experience. The people were happy. They were acting normal. I began to believe that Jason could have a good life. The third stage was recognizing that Jason had no choice in his decision, but I did. My choice was to be part of his life. It was a tremendous learning experience about what it means to be a parent."

Lines are broken
They've given motor skills
Take at face value
The direction that suits you
Move with the pull
A generous function
The x-ray of today
The only one that greets you is the half-ass hand
Close to open
Don't give a shit
Take at face value
The half ass hand
The one that deceives you
You'll follow the pull
Delirious function
Wake up from the dream
This one reality
We have seen
Take it away
It's put me to shame
The motorskill
Words come broken
In a spinning world
Spinning through my head
The direction that suits you
To cure or kill
I'm walking with immortals
Etch the surface
Take it all away
Now we have seen
The motorskill
Lines come broken
Twisting you down
The crooked mind way with your head
Underground now
You let them control you
The generated dream
The one they supplied you
The one you've always seen

Magic Pickle! I am baking tomorrow - if I make pumpkin pie and turn the AC down can it stay out over night or do I need to find room in the fridge?
Yes, it'll be fine. When cool, just set it in a cooler part of the house. Happy Turkey Day, y'all!
ABSOLUTELY! Enjoy your pie!
Not so sound alarmist (and I would feel safe leaving it out), but ... a custard-type pie like pumpkin should be refrigerated for longer (over 4 hours) storage. But, if you aren't feeding about people with compromised immune systems (older folks, young kids, etc.) *and* you are keeping a scrupulously clean kitchen (as I'm sure you do) you should be fine. My worry is always cross contamination: a few stray drops of raw turkey "juice" (ew) and you've inoculated your pie with nasties. Sorry for being so cheerful. :-)

May 23, 2013
DEKALB, Ill. – Dusty Page of the Northern Illinois men's soccer team has been selected to serve on the NCAA Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). "I am really pleased for Dusty," said NIU men's soccer head coach Eric Luzzi. "It is quite an honor for him to be selected by the NCAA to be on their national Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. Dusty is the model student-athlete and will bring a great perspective to the committee. Dusty has been a strong leader within our team and our athletic department at NIU, and I have no doubt that he will represent NIU and the Mid-American Conference very well as he serves as a representative for all student-athletes within the NCAA."Page was one of three student-athletes nominated for the position by the Mid-American Conference and was selected by the NCAA as the new representative from the MAC. Each of the 31 conferences in NCAA Division I have one representative, Page's term will begin on July 1, 2013 and continue through July 1, 2015.Similar to the SAAC on each campus, the NCAA Division I SAAC's mission is to enhance the total student-athlete experience by promoting opportunity, protecting student-athlete well being and fostering a positive student-athlete image. NCAA Division I SAAC members are responsible for keeping their campus and conference committees educated about relevant issues effecting Division I athletics and student-athletes. "I had a meeting with Coach (Eric) Luzzi last fall and he asked by what I wanted to get out of life," said Page. "My answer was that I wanted to make an impact and positive change, and the NCAA is one organization that I can make an impact through. "My goals are to make the environment for student-athletes as good as possible. I think sharing the opinions of student-athletes in the Mid-American Conference is important because it is a different experience than you might have in the Big Ten, or other conferences, so I would like to share those opinions and create a great environment for student-athletes in the MAC."A native of Germantown, Wis., Page will be a junior on the NIU men's soccer team this fall. He appeared in 11 matches during the 2012 season and has helped the Huskies reach the MAC Tournament Final in each of the past two seasons. The NCAA Division I SAAC typically has three in-person meetings per year; Page will participate in his first SAAC meeting July 18-21 in Indianapolis, Ind.

The best part of this forecast is probably not the period of gorgeous spring weather. Rather, it is the prospect of returning atmospheric moisture this weekend. Temperatures will rise slowly, and dewpoints should climb so that the word humid will be applicable through Sunday. With a trough and frontal structure arriving on Sunday, there should be enough instability and forcing available for intense convection; severe weather is a possibility.
But on Monday, the nice weather returns, and stays awhile.

I have a macbook that I've managed to expose (using port forwarding) to the world. It works nicely but I'm worried that, while it's not pingable or otherwise detectable, it might get detected and exploited.
What are the main types of security I should look into for this? Also: would it be more (or less) secure to ONLY expose ssh instead of VNC?

A few weeks ago we were introduced to Deepak Chopra's book, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, and learned that material wealth alone doesn't make people successful. Success encompasses many other aspects all helping us to develop a good quality life. Chicago's very own, Oprah Winfrey uses Chopra's knowledge, by showcasing his advice on Oprah.com. There he writes tidbits on self-realization matters ranging from pure consciousness, depression, spirituality and healthy aging.
But for our purposes, we will be concentrating on Deepak's wisdom on spiritual success. As you may already know, there are many roads to success, and in order to fully understand them, learning some helpful tips from other successful people can help us to put it to work in our own lives. So let's take a look at Chopra's first law and learn some ways we may be able to tune into this law and put it to good use in our own lives.
Chopra's first law to spiritual success is The Law of Pure Potentiality. If you consider yourself to be a creative person, than you can relate to what this law is all about. Chopra states that this law involves, "the expression from the unmanifest to the manifest" where "the field of all possibilities and infinite creativity remain." Have you ever sat down to write a paper or begin a book and blankly stared at the word document or piece of paper in front of you? The possibilities are endless, right? But where do you start? Or maybe your blank page is a canvas or a dinner plate that needs to be filled.
To go about approaching these blank spaces, we have to embark on the creative choices before us and plan out strategies to fill them. What shall we put onto the canvas, pieces of paper or add to the pot in order to cook dinner for our families? By participating in these processes, you have begun to understand how Deepak's first law works. Next, think about what might be missing from your own life. Is it in the form of a career change, having a mate or starting up a new business? Think about all the possibilities. So what's stopping you?
It's been a few years since the The Secret came out and talked about how our thoughts can create the personal realities we live in. Chopra's first law has a lot to do with this philosophy. And whether you realize the process you embark on when you create things in your life or not, you are doing so with the help of this spiritual law. Ultimately, you are in control of creating what best suits you not only creatively but in your own life too. We come up with goals, and set out to achieve them. Whether big or small, we do this each and every day. And when we feel that changes need to be made, we take the time to think about where we would like to be and what it looks like to us.
So take some time to reflect on where you may want to make some changes in your own life and take note of where you may be stuck or unable to move forward. Maybe you are already a very successful person. If so, can you see how you utilize this law in your life through your daily personal and business decisions? Are you able to achieve the things you desire with ease? If you are having some trouble identifying your road to success or feel stuck, you are not alone. Many feel the same way. A good solution to that problem is to hire a life coach. There are plenty of professional coaches available who can work with you to offer ways to get around your roadblocks.
Patricia Baron Schreiber runs The Spirited Path in the south suburbs of Chicago and offers Personal Life, Core Energy and Small Business Coaching, to name a few. And Chicago-native, Mindie Kniss is just a phone call away, offering virtual workshops and conference calls through Kniss Coaching. All on helping you become the best version of yourself. You can also Google life coaching on the worldwide web to find an entire directory of professionals helping others to help themselves.
In the next few weeks we will explore Chopra's next law and how it can help you on your spiritual path to success. To learn more about Deepak Chopra's book, navigate to his website here. You can order a copy of his book from his website or through Amazon.com. Check out the companion DVD trailer to his book as well, available on Youtube.

A great run was based in the late-1990s and early 2000s farm system developments. By the middle of the last decade, a championship pace had begun. Now, after a painstaking fall from grace, the Philadelphia Phillies are set to make historic baseball trades that will officially end one of two great eras in franchise history.
The Phillies 2014 payroll stands at $177 million, which is the highest ever. There's no way that Ruben Amaro, Jr., or the management team which directly involved in the retention of numerous multi-million dollar men, will allow a non-playoff team to maintain that massive financial obligation.
Four names and their dollar amounts are known: Jimmy Rollins ($11 million this season, with an $11 million vesting option in 2015), Chase Utley ($15 million this season, $10-$15 conditional million in 2015, with 2016-18 vesting options at $15 million), Ryan Howard ($75 million through 2016, $10 million buyout in 2017, or a $23 million team option) and Carlos Ruiz ($26 million from 2014-16, $4.5 million team option, with a $500,000 buyout). That quartet was in place when a five-year playoff run began in 2007. Full, or partial, no-trade clauses be damned, any of those players could be dealt by the non-waiver trade deadline this summer.
Whoever isn't gone by the fall, could be dealt before next spring. Let's not forget that the Phillies, like many other teams, can eat portions of player contracts to facility a rebuild if they want to. So, guaranteed high-value contracts won't necessarily prevent any player from being moved over time.
Expensive pieces, such as Cliff Lee ($25 million, $25 million next season, $27.5 million vesting option in 2016) and Jonathan Papelbon ($13 million this season and next, $13 million vesting option in 2016) aren't needed on a last-place team that may not contend again for awhile. The same is true for decently paid men like Marlon Byrd ($8 million this season and next), Mike Adams ($7 million this season, $6 million team option next season), Kyle Kendrick ($7.6 million this season) and Roberto Hernandez ($4.5 million this season). Of course, Lee and Adams need to prove that they're healthy within the next month to maintain trade-chip status.
It seems plausible to believe that the Phillies' brain trust calculated that the best way to begin a rebuilding process was to enter this season on a set course. Yes, A.J. Burnett was signed late and his one-year salary is significant. Byrd's free agent addition last fall also showed a desire to fill a key outfield hole. However, any early-season flop was sure to forcefully introduce the opportunity for all non-trade clause players to waive their rights to wear red pinstripes.
Agree, disagree or simply remain silent, but there's no denying that former general manager Ed Wade deserves deep credit for hiring great farm system personnel before he was terminated (and then returned). Pat Gillick unequivocally became the perfect choice as Wade's successor. Gillick's Hall of Fame savvy and established business connections helped massage a roster into just the right space in time and 2008 remains sublime.
The second great Phillies' era actually ended when the St. Louis Cardinals unexpectedly won the 2011 National League Division Series. The first great era in team history ended when the Baltimore Orioles won the 1983 World Series. Now, another rebuild will certainly begin in earnest this summer, amidst few cheers. This process will surely continue for an undetermined number of years.

BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) — Matt Wieters had three hits and scored a run Monday night as the Baltimore Orioles beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-1.
Wieters began the seventh inning with a double and scored on Mark Reynolds' soft single to right field. Reynolds scored on a throwing error by third baseman Pedro Alvarez.
The Pirates managed just one hit in six innings against Tommy Hunter. The right-hander walked one and struck out five.
Although it was only his second Grapefruit League start, Hunter has locked up a spot in Baltimore's starting rotation. He was slowed at the start of camp by a sore back, then tossed five solid innings in his debut March 21 against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Left-hander Erik Bedard, who will be the Pirates' opening day starter, worked six-plus innings and gave up two runs (one earned) on seven hits and struck out five.

In college, Schmidt was a National All-American in 2011 and received All-American honorable mention in 2010. She was a member of the United States National Women's Lacrosse team two years in a row. Schmidt was the two time consecutive MPSF Conference Player of the Year in 2010 and 2011 as well as four-time First Team All-Conference selection. While Schmidt was a member of the Stanford lacrosse program, they went to the NCAA Regionals in 2010 and 2011 and also held a top 10 ranking both years, a program high.
Schmidt received her undergraduate degree in Human Biology from Stanford in the spring of 2011. She has been volunteering as an assistant coach for the Stanford lacrosse team since her graduation.

J. Gordon Harvey, consulting mining engineer for the American Smelting & Refining Co., New York, has been in Las Vegas, Nev., inspecting the Groom mine
[Billy Rehab notes: actually the mine is in Lincoln County, a hundred miles or so north of Las Vegas. More infamously, it is situated within, and just on the north flank of the land allotted to Area 51. Discovered and exploited in the 1850s, it is the first commercial lead, silver, and zinc mine worked in the original state of Nevada, whose southern boundary terminated even with the southern Lincoln County NV line.
The Groom mine was owned by the Sheehan family of Las Vegas, up until recently. It was a going, paying mine for generations. In the late 1960s, a new concentrator was added, and things were going along okay until some USAF fighter pilots mixed up and took the camp as an impromptu target, and shot it up with 20mm rounds. The USAF never paid the Sheehans for damages, and with no ability to pay the creditors for the damaged machinery, nor get funding to install a new concentrator, the mining stopped altogether.
Here was an old town, where at one time 30 families lived and worked. Houses, a store, rec rooms and a pool, mechanical facilities and garages, including period cars inside, and all sorts of really preserved gadgets; now all shot to hell, bullet holes in the thousands perforating everything.
The USAF has a notorious reputation for flying low, at supersonic speeds, breaking windows by the hundreds all over Lincoln County communities. Sometimes it is low enough that a guy could possibly determine the actual socket size for the lug nuts on the spare tire. I have been in parts of Nevada where the plane, at mach2, is not even 100 feet overhead. Then theres Top Gun at Fallon, where the navy drops bombs at targets, only to have them skip along for miles and stop at some ranchers barn. More than one rancher or miner, driving along at night, has hit some errant deviant bomb, and met their Maker.
The area of Nevada now known as Clark County, began in 1909, having incorporated portions of Paiute County, Utah, and Mojave County, Arizona into the present day boundaries. Paiute County was actually established by Mormon colonists (called, or sent) by Brigham Young to establish farms along the Muddy and Virgin Rivers, as well as missions to convert the Indians, including those at Las Vegas Springs.
The infamous William A Clark (Anaconda Mining, Butte, MT) started a movement to enlarge Nevada, by obliterating Paiute County, controlled by the Mormons, and confiscating a portion of Mohave County, AZ, to form the upcoming Clark County, NV. The principal reason being that he was building his railroad from LA to Salt Lake and beyond, as well as another one from Las Vegas to Tonopah, in order to make money from mines and mills looking to ship their ore or production. Not exactly in a upstanding way.
Figuring he could build his business by serving mines of Eldorado Canyon, Searchlight, Crescent, Quo Vadis, Goodsprings, Spring Mountains, and mining areas NW of Las Vegas, Clark started honing his strong arm tactics that would later become his signature action in anything he controlled or owned. When things in Clark County, NV didnt go as planned, he skipped town and made his way to Montana to plunder, pollute, and manipulate the masses; whether working stiffs, independent mine owners, politicians, unions.
Besides missions, a contingent of Mormons also prospected and exploited mineral wealth in the form of lead, zinc, and silver in the area west of Las Vegas. One of the men, from Potosi, Wisconsin, experienced with lead ore there, led up the group to exploit the namesake (Potosi Mine, SW of Las Vegas). However, the huge problem was the zinc content in the local lead ore, that messed up the smelting process, or the silver in the ore that made the lead too hard.
Not quite defeated, those men prospected other areas in the Spring Mountain Range, and located several other lead, zinc, silver, copper, gold mines; none of which had lead without the pesky zinc compounds that messed up the lead smelting process.
Later on, after these pioneers returned to Utah or settled elsewhere, platinum metal in an ore vein was discovered for the first time in the geological history of the world, not far from the Potosi Mine. Up until that point, platinum metals were only mined as placer. ]
C. W. Newton, general manager of the Consolidated interstate-Callahan Mining Co., Wallace, Idaho, has left for a trip to Ann Arbor, Mich., Duluth, Minn., and New York.
H. A. Keller, consulting mining and metallurgical engineer, New York, has opened temporary offices in San Ignacio, Cuba, where he is engaged in professional work at present.
Roy R. Horner, mining engineer, has been selected by theU. S. Bureau of Mines for investigation of metal mining methods. For the present, he will be located in Salt Lake City.
A. L. Tuttle, for some time general manager of the Jimulco Mining Co., San Antonio, Texas, has recently accepted the position of general manager, of the Tennessee Copper Co., Copperhill, Tenn.
Charles B. Croner, mining engineer, Pasadena, Cal., is supervising developments and ore shipments on the Bunker Hill mine, Inyo County, California, which was recently bonded to Los Angeles people.
Frederick Hellman, formerly general manager of the Chuquicainata mines of the Chile Exploration Co., Chuquicamata, Chile, has been made chief consulting engineer for the Guggenheim interests, New York.
A. H. Collbran has resigned the active general management of the operations of the Seoul Mining Co., Chosen, Korea, to give more attention to his private undertakings. He will, however, remain with the company as a director.
Maurice Dundon recently passed away at Appleton, Wis. The deceased was a pioneer of the Upper peninsula of Michigan. He was a blast furnace expert, and operated the first furnace erected in the Upper peninsula, which was located at Deer Lake, near Ishpeming. Later he was in charge of the furnace at Greenwood, Mich.

Patrick Mullins, for many years prominent in Butte business and political circles, but of late years, heavily interested in the business affairs of North Yakima, Wash., died there Dec. 19, at the age of 60 years. When 22 years of age, he was superintendent of the Hecla mine, in the Coeur d Alenes. He was twice a member of the Montana legislature, and was mayor of Butte, for one term.

Capt. Wm. Skewes died from pneumonia on Dec. 19. He was head mining captain of the La Salle Co., one of the subsidiaries of the Calumet & Hecla Co. He was born in Cornwall, and came to the Copper Country, when a young man; he was regarded as an expert shaft sinker, and had been employed in that line of work for many companies, but had been at the La Salle for about 10 years.
Thos. H. James, mining inspector, was accidentally killed the 19th, at the Red Jacket shaft of the Calumet & Hecla Co., while in the performance of his duties. Capt. James was born in Cornwall 47 years ago, and had been in the Copper Country 29 years; he had been employed for the most of that period by the Calumet & Hecla Co. As an Inspector he was unusually successful, and had just been elected for the fifth term. He had formerly been a lay preacher of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
American Association of EngineersThe annual convention of the society will be held in the La Salle Hotel, Chicago, Feb. 8, 9 and 10. Work of a promotional nature will constitute the greater part of the program. The extension of the student membership of the society is becoming more and more obvious, as shown by the movement at several state universities.

Northwest Mining AssociationThe 1917 Northwest Mining Convention will be held in Spokane, Feb. 19 to 25. This is the most important mining event in the Northwest and is attended by mining men from the northwestern states, British Columbia and Alaska.
Exhibits of ores, minerals, machinery, devices and supplies are made, and there are 4 days of sessions devoted to the mining industry. The engineering societies hold technical programs, there are stereo-opticon lectures, for evenings, and the entertainment of visitors by a special committee.

X-Men: First Class led the domestic box office in its opening weekend, taking in $56 million and meeting Fox's goal of matching the opening of the first film in the franchise, if falling short of more optimistic projections. The Matthew Vaughn-directed prequel grossed another $64 million overseas, for a worldwide haul of $120 million.
"I think it is incredibly challenging to relaunch a franchise," Chris Aronson, Fox's senior vice president of domestic distribution, tells The Hollywood Reporter. "There are preconceived ideas, as well as a comfort factor with continuity. We have met and conquered those challenges." Or, for a less biased assessment, we can look to Company Town, which characterizes the opening as "a pretty good but not great start."
By way of comparison, 2003's X2: X-Men United and 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine each debuted with about $85 million, while X-Men: The Last Stand drew $102 million in the domestic box office during its first weekend. But the studio kept its estimates significantly lower, using Christopher Nolan's 2005 franchise reboot Batman Begins as a goalpost. That film opened domestically to $48.7 million on its way to $205.3 million.
However, as the trade paper notes, Batman Begins "had great legs." The $140-million First Class, meanwhile, faces serious competition this weekend with the debut of J.J. Abrams' sci-fi thriller Super 8, followed by Warner Bros.' Green Lantern.
Don't know what to make of this.
If people aren't going to see this movie because the last stand and wolverine were pretty crap then it's good that people are voting with their wallets and hopefully teaching Fox a lesson.
It's a shame though because this is far better than I expected it would be and deserves to do very well.
And I know this is hardly a bad opening but it's still far less than the last 2
With the possible exception of transformers 3 (despite the internet haters of Bay, let's face it, they make a ton of money) I don't think any of the summer movies are going to have breakaway grosses because there is just a huge volume of good summer fare this year. Typically from may to august there's about 10 movies I want to see, this year it's closer to 20. this makes it difficult for a film to have legs. Hopefully X-men does well enough to warrant another sequel, imo it was the best X-men movie yet.
Safe to say Harry Potter will clean up, don't you think?
Ah yeah i forgot about potter. That one will, yes
It's a combination of it being a Prequel, X3 and the fact that this is a HUGE summer for movies. There are three more big movies coming out this month and three more after that. In this economy there just isn't enough money to go around. Which is too bad because this is a great film.
Reminds me of a few years ago when Hellboy 2 opened right before Dark Knight.
Considering the lack of household names in the movie this is good.

It's official Bobby Brown, of the famed musical R&B group New Edition, is throwing in the towel and dropping off the "Reunion Tour" to focus on his health. New Edition is currently on their "All Six" reunion tour. The multi-city tour running through August will hit cities such as Cincinnati, Baltimore and Kansas City before ending in Los Angeles. Brown will be notably missing on the remainder dates. A spokeswoman for the group said "At this time, Bobby needs to put his health first, and we wish him a speedy recovery," said the statement "We are giving each and every show all we've got until his return — and will continue giving the fans 110 percent each night."
New Edition, known for their precise synchronized dance moves had fans turning to social media for answers when 45 year old Brown was spotted in recent weeks having trouble keeping up with the dance moves, leaving fans to wonder what was ailing the singer.
According to TMZ, reality finally set in for Brown on July 2nd while performing a show in Mississippi, Brown was seen huffing and puffing before leaving the stage. Looking at video footage released online from that night, Brown can been seen struggling and looking genuinely exhausted. Brown didn't want to just go away leaving fans in the dark, so he also released a statement "I apologize to the fans of New Edition. I really wanted to be with my brothers, but presently I am unable to give the fans what they typically expect from New Edition."
The other New Edition members will continue for the remaining 16 shows of the All Six reunion tour.

The House voted, 239-176, in support of a measure that voices opposition to the increase of the debt ceiling. Six Democrats voted along with Republicans to oppose the debt ceiling increase. House Republicans had only one defection — California Rep. David Dreier.
It is largely a symbolic vote, since the Senate is expected to allow the debt ceiling hike…
Under the deal, Obama was required to submit a request to Congress to raise the debt ceiling in three stages. The latest request, which was the final stage, would raise the debt ceiling by another $1.2 trillion.
Despite Wednesday's vote, Obama would still have the authority to raise the debt limit unless the Senate follows suit. Even then, both chambers would likely need to muster a two-thirds majority in order to override a presidential veto. The Senate is expected to vote next week on the resolution, a senior Senate Democratic leadership aide told Fox News.
You know the senate will vote yes, because that is what the Democrats do, spend as much tax payer money as fast and often as they can…
The political dance choreographed under last summer's Budget Control Act was designed to permit lawmakers, mostly Republicans, to vote against the debt increase but not actually block it, which would provoke a first-ever, market-rattling default on U.S. government obligations.
The debate offered Tea Party-backed GOP freshmen an opportunity to cast blame on the White House and Democratic-controlled Senate for the nation's fiscal ills. The national debt has skyrocketed during Obama's first term — from $10.6 trillion on Inauguration Day to $15.2 trillion today.

text: I need to get the Workflow Status on an InfoPath form library in the InfoPath form. For instance, I want to place a rule on the form open that checks to see if the workflow is not "Completed" and set the view to ReadOnly ( I think its a value of 5). But after upgrading to SP2010, I cannot see the Workflow name in the Data Connection of the list. I worked fine in SP2007, so there must be a new method to obtain this. Can anyone guide me?

Hi everyone! I bought my house last September, and it was BRAND NEW so no one has ever lived here but me. There's a whole lot to be desired about the shoddy construction work that passes for inspection these days, but well get to that, lol. My guest bathroom toilet is wobbly. I noticed it about 2 weeks ago and wasn't too concerned but lately I have been hearing a sound if it moves side to side. I put something under it to stabilize it while I checked on it. I guess it's just the house "settling" that's what I'm told anyway but from what I can see it looks like there's a plastic piece under it (maybe a shim) and some concrete, no caulk.
Anyway, I wanted to check before I tried to fix it and had a few questions.
should a house this new even have this issue?! If there are already plastic things under there, would more help? I don't really have the money to hire a plumber, and thought it was prob something easy.
Thanks in advance!!
I am an experienced DIYer, it sounds like it might be a few simple things that could be the problem. These are multiple ideas, each one can depend on what kind of subfloor you have ie concrete slab, raised foundation, if its on the 2nd floor, wood/laminate floor, or even tile. If you can reply with more of this information and someone can give you a more specific idea on a fix for you particular problem. But again, here are some ideas.
1. it could be that the wax ring used to seal the toilet to the pipe could be too big. there are thick and thin wax rings. if the wrong one was used it could cause a rocking issue.
2. the toilet when set on the wax ring might not have been pushed down and sealed all the way and is high on one side and compressed on the other.
3. the two bolts that hold down the toilet might not be tightened all the way, be careful not to tighten too much as it could crack the base of the toilet and you would have to replace the toilet.
3. the plastic things you saw, could be shims to level out the toilet. Depending on what the toilet is sitting on (slab concrete, or raised foundation). If the floor isn't level that its sitting on shims could have been used to level out the toilet and with use those shims could have shifted and are not supporting the toilet anymore. Plastic shims would be good to use as this is a wet location and wood shims would swell and shrink do to moisture.
With it being a new house, if its a raised foundation you more than likely don't have a leak and a dry rot issue. For a quick fix what you could do is go to your local hardware store and pick up some plastic shims and a level if you don't have one. loosen the two bolts at the base of the toilet. close the lid on the toilet and place the leve on it from side to side and see if it is out of level. if so shim the lower side to level. Cut the shim to match the shape of the base of the toilet. then place the level on the toilet seat front to back, shim the lower side again, cut shim to match base shape. recheck the left to right level. Once this is done snug the bolts down on the base of the toilet, then give 1/4 turn, for appearance, you can use caulking around the base of the toilet to give it a clean appearance and a more seamless match to the floor.
If it is a tile floor, the tile guy could have missed a chunk of thinset or grout under the toilet that is causing the wobble...
Jackie, I am Not a plumber, but at the base of the potty, there is a plastic cover on both sides, under the plastic cover are bolts sticking up from the potty mounting flange. Try tightening them ever so slightly, a bit on one side, then the other. Please do not over tighten, as the potty may crack.
If this does not work, perhaps the potty flange was not installed properly, then its probably a plumber issue.
You have a serious problem, especially if you are on the second floor. Regardless of the possible problems, it is clear that you must remove the toilet from its' base and start over. After the removal of toilet , examine the flange and its' relative height to the floor. If the flange is about 1/2" higher/lower and level you are ok. Now the 2-tee bolts have to be checked, they should be solidly attached with a washer and nut prior to the toilet install. Placing a quality/thick wax ring is next and then the install of the toilet. during this phase as you slowly guide the toilet down to the tee bolts you should feel the contact made with the wax, at this point the toilet is around 1" above the floor, this is good and you can continue to push down the toilet for the final set and then attach the 2 remaining dome nuts/washer. Level the toilet the best you can and connect the water supply.
