Art is meant to challenge its audiences and blur the lines between the real and the surreal, taking us on a ride that will assault the senses that we'll never forget. "Berberian Sound Studio" is a gonzo throwback that keeps the tension high while keeping the gore to a near minimum as we watch a man pushed to the brink and beyond.
1976. A mild-mannered British sound engineer named Gilderoy (Toby Jones) arrives in Rome to work on the post-synchronized soundtrack to The Equestrian Vortex, a tale of witchcraft and murder set inside an all-girl riding academy. But as Gilderoy begins to work on this unexpectedly terrifying project, it's his own mind that holds the real horrors. As the line between film and reality blurs, is Gilderoy working on a film, or in one?
Writer/director Peter Strickland marvels and keeping the audience guessing in "Berberian Sound Studio" as the narrative starts off in a standard enough fashion but it is in the subtle little shifts that it goes completely into the realm of the unclassifiable and that is what makes it a truly unique experience. From the shadows of the studio that may or may not be hiding some sort of unknown terror to the truly unique and haunting score that fills the halls of this truly off putting place that we find ourselves in with our mild mannered sound engineer. Strickland keeps off balance with so many different elements, that when the tension reaches its pitch, we just don't see it coming. Granted I am the first to admit that it's not the kind of film that will be for everyone, however with its peculiar mix of so many different elements that no audience would ever expect it to be such a fantastic mix of tension A sense of dread and eye popping visuals that keep us on edge from minute one, as this Italian sound studio makes for such a lucrative place to mine for so many emotions, and much like our lead character we always feel just a little out of place with the proceedings that are happening in front of us with real aplomb making for a quiet yet unnerving nightmare that we can't look away from
Toby Jones plays it quiet and cool as our sound tech Gilderoy who is increasingly and increasingly out of place the more time he spends there. He builds a great performance out of the disquieting and icky vibe that is slowly engulfing him, it makes for a very fun thing to watch. He navigates each of the individual characters with a varying range of success, until he is broken down completely and we can never tell the movie from the reality. The entire supporting cast oozes sleaze as his character spirals downward making it all the more compelling to watch.
Special features on the DVD include a feature length commentary track with writer/director Peter Strickland, a behind the scenes look at the film, Box Hill Documentary, deleted, extended and alternate scenes, a photo gallery (with an optional commentary) an alternate poster gallery and the theatrical trailer.
When all is said and done, "Berberian Sound Studio" is a strange and deeply nuanced thriller that you just might have more fun dissecting after the fact then you did while watching it.
4 out of 5 stars.
"Berberian Sound Studio" is now available to rent on DVD, Blu-Ray and On Demand from all major providers. You can also find it for purchase from all major retailers like HMV, amazon.ca and iTunes.

Crew Sleep Cycle: Wake/sleep cycle remains right-shifted (5:30am - 9:00pm EDT).
As part of the crew's regular morning inspection tour, FE-1 Kononenko began his workday with the routine checkup of DC1 (Docking Compartment) circuit breakers and fuses. (The monthly checkup in the 'Pirs' module looks at AZS circuit breakers on the BVP Amp Switch Panel (they should all be On) and the LEDs (light-emitting diodes) of 14 fuses in fuse panels BPP-30 & BPP-36.)
After resetting STTS communication/telemetry links for their stay in the DC1, Volkov & Kononenko continued preparations for the Orlan EVA-20A on 7/10. Today's focus, supported by ground specialist tagup, dealt with -
Configuring an onboard mockup of one of the 10 triangular truss segments between the Soyuz Descent Module (SA) and Instrumentation Compartment (AO) which are holding the twin pyrobolt-equipped locks and pushers for the module separation, and
Working with various devices and tools on the mockup to try out and rehearse the removal of a pyrobolt during the EVA-20A. (Background: Main objective of the spacewalk is the inspection of the Soyuz TMA-12 spacecraft at its first separation plane (Plane I) and the removal of one pyrobolt for return to Earth. Before their separation during entry, SA & AO are connected by five locks, each 'zamok' containing two pyrobolts (explosive bolts) with individual electrical connection, of which only one needs to fire to release the lock. The locks are equally spaced around the 360-degree circumference of the separation plane, i.e., 72 deg apart. After the five locks have released, five spring-loaded pushers, also equally spaced, separate the two modules by spring force. Each lock and pusher is located at the apex of two triangularly arranged aluminum pipes, i.e., altogether 20 inclined pipes, which make up the open truss structure between the modules. Since not all locks separated nominally during the reentry of Soyuz TMA-11 on 4/19/08, investigations are focusing on the separation mechanisms.)
Afterwards Sergey & Oleg restored the nominal STTS comm settings in the DC1.
FE-2 Chamitoff meanwhile performed the planned FSL (Fluid Science Laboratory) troubleshooting in the Columbus module, going through the procedural steps reviewed yesterday. With the FSL rack powered off and ground support via S- & Ku-Band voice communication & video downlink established, troubleshooting activities called for -
Removing front gap protections on the FSL rack,
Opening the FSL drawers,
Accessing the CEM (Central Experiment Module) E-Box3 and removing its halogen lamp,
Verifying if the lamp is broken, and, if so,
Replacing it with a spare unit delivered on 1J, after inspecting the spare for damages or debris, followed by
Photodocumenting the E-Box3 lamp after installation, and
Closing the FSL drawers and reattaching the gap protectors.
The FE-1 performed the periodic memory card replacement and functional checkout of the Matryoshka-R (RBO-3-2) radiation payload which is using the ESA/RSC-Energia experiment ALTCRISS (Alteino Long Term monitoring of Cosmic Rays on the ISS/ALC) with its Spectrometer (AST) and ALC equipment on FGB panel 429. (Oleg replaced the ALC-949 PCMCIA (Portable Computer Memory Card International Adapter) card with a new one (#950) for testing the AST to continue Matryoshka operation. He then used the RSK1 laptop for briefly checking the new 950 card after 5-7 min of AST activity for quantity & total size of its stored file, before re-installing it in the AST. Card 949 was stowed for return to earth.)
Later today, Greg Chamitoff is scheduled to conduct the periodic nitrogen (N2) pressure check on the MELFI (Minus Eighty Degree Laboratory Freezer for the ISS). (Nitrogen is the working fluid used by MELFI's cooling system, based on the Reverse Brayton Thermodynamic Cycle. The cooling engine, a Brayton Machine (BM), works with a compression wheel and expansion wheel on the same shaft supported by a gas bearings system. The BM can rotate at speeds up to 96,000 rpm depending on the cooling requirements. After the N2 is cooled in the BM, it is distributed to each of four independently-controlled, thermally-insulated volumes (Dewars). The N2 loop is a closed system, i.e., the gas never comes in contact with the samples in the dewars.)
Sergey Volkov had the task to conduct the routine maintenance of the SOZh system (Environment Control & Life Support System, ECLSS) in the SM, including ASU toilet facilities systems/replaceables.
Oleg Kononenko will perform the daily IMS (Inventory Management System) maintenance, updating/editing its standard 'delta file' including stowage locations, for the regular weekly automated export/import to its three databases on the ground (Houston, Moscow, Baikonur).
The three crewmembers conducted their regular 2.5-hr. physical workout program (about half of which is used for setup & post-exercise personal hygiene) on the CEVIS cycle ergometer (FE-2), TVIS treadmill (CDR, FE-1), RED resistive exercise device (CDR, FE-1, FE-2), and VELO bike with bungee cord load trainer (CDR, FE-1). Later tonight, Kononenko transfers the exercise data file to the MEC laptop for downlink, including the daily wristband HRM (Heart Rate Monitor) data of the workouts on RED, followed by their erasure on the HRM storage medium (done six times a week).
The three crewmembers were scheduled for their regular periodic PMCs (Private Medical Conferences) via S- & Ku-band audio/video, Gregory at ~11:25am, Oleg at ~4:15pm, Sergey at ~5:25pm.
At ~1:00pm EDT, Gregory Chamitoff was interviewed in a 10-min. PAO TV event with KPIX-TV, San Francisco, CA.
CEO (Crew Earth Observations) photo targets uplinked for today were Mississippi floods (Dynamic event. Floods are cresting in the St Louis-Cape Girardeau stretch of the Mississippi River. St Louis harbor is closed to barge traffic. Looking left for the Mississippi River and St Louis. Weather was expected to be 'mostly sunny'), and Pilcomayo River dynamics, Northern Argentina (this ISS pass almost paralleled the course of the failing Pilcomayo River. This river has special geological interest because it is blocking its own course with sediment, and spilling out onto the surrounding flatlands, at the point near where the track crosses the course. Also, this river has built the largest megafan (inland delta) on Earth. Wider views slightly right then left of nadir with the 180 lens will capture the engineering canals put in place by Argentina and Paraguay to maintain flow of the river (which defines the international boundary)).

VICTORY! for the dogs.. the zoning board approved the request and Barktopia stays! On behalf of myself, the dogs, Jamie and all the volunteers we want to thank each and every one of you that took the time to sign and share this petition.
I have extended the closing date for the petition. It's been extended to Wednesday June 4th- I would like to try and get at least 3,100 signatures...but would be very happy to reach 4,000.
Thanks again for signing and for helping us save BARKTOPIA!
Thank you so much for those that have signed this petition, it's wonderful to see how much support can be given from across the world. In just a few more days we will be closing the petition and getting it ready to present to the zoning board.
Long live BARKTOPIA!
Barktopia, a shelter that saves dogs from euthanasia in Tennessee, is in need of some help.
Barktopia is appearing before the zoning board on June 11th in hopes of being able to keep Barktopia where it presently resides. So let's sign and share this petition to show Maury County that Barktopia needs to stay where it is and that Barktopia does not house "vicious" dogs -- they house dogs that are being given a new chance at life while making room for other dogs in the area shelters!
We need to show our support for the volunteers and of course, the dogs. Please sign the petition to tell the zoning board Barktopia does not pose a threat and should stay where it is!
Maury County Board of Zoning,
Barktopia is a haven for dogs escaping euthanasia. We, the undersigned believe the shelter is important for the safety and well-being of dogs in the community. The dogs do not pose a threat and are not vicious -- they just need a home, and the shelter helps them find one.
Please consider the welfare of the dogs and the commitment of the volunteers when making your zoning decisions. Keep Barktopia where it currently is!
Problem on this page? Briefly let us know what isn't working for you and we'll try to make it right!

Hey I need to show that $$\lim_{(x,y)\to(0,0)} {xy \over \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}} = 0.$$ I'm not sure how to start manipulating this as I haven't gotten anything useful yet. Some help to get me going would be nice. Thanks

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Notice that $$|x| = \sqrt{x^2} \le \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$$ Using this fact, we have $$\left\vert\frac{xy}{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}}\right\vert = \frac{|x|}{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}}|y|\le |y|$$ which approaches $0$ as $(x,y)\rightarrow 0$.
It should not be too hard to convert this into a formal epsilon-delta proof.
Let $$f(x,y) = \dfrac{xy}{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}}$$ Set $x = r \cos(\theta)$, $y = r \sin(\theta)$, let $\sqrt{x^2 + y^2} = r$. $$F(r,\theta) = f(r \cos(\theta), r \sin(\theta)) = \dfrac{r^2 \cos(\theta) \sin(\theta)}{r} = r \cos(\theta) \sin(\theta)$$ $$(x,y) \to (0,0) \implies r \to 0$$ Now can you conclude what you want?

Ramping up
Stamping out the competitionAn exclusive survey reveals readers' top five choices for making curb ramps ADA-compliant. Source: PUBLIC WORKS
Whatever the curb design, truncated domes must meet certain standards.
One of the biggest issues that has surfaced in relation to curb ramps is the addition of detectable warnings, which help the visually impaired determine when they are entering a roadway. These warnings initially were required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Accessible Guidelines for curb ramps, hazardous vehicular roadways, and transit platform edges.
However, the requirement for curb ramps and vehicular roadways was soon suspended to determine the most effective type of warning.
After 10 years of research, truncated domes proved to be the most viable solution, beating out other options such as grooves, striations, and exposed aggregate.
On July 26, 2001, the suspension on the requirement expired, and truncated domes are now required on all new curb ramps.
Generally, retrofit detectable warning devices are not required for old ramps. However, if a project like street resurfacing is implemented that requires installation of curb ramps, and the existing ramps are otherwise compliant, retrofit detectable warning devices are required.
When installing truncated domes, each curb ramp is unique in its design needs; however, there are certain specifications that are universal regardless of the individual ramp design. All detectable warnings must extend 24 inches in the direction of travel and cover the full width of the curb ramp. Research has shown that this length is sufficient in signaling the beginning of a roadway 90% of the time.
In addition, the warnings must be placed 6 to 8 inches from the curb line to give blind pedestrians enough stopping distance between the curb and the street, and to give wheelchair users a smoother transition from the curb to the street. The domes must be aligned on a square grid so they can be rolled over easily, and each dome has very specific dimensions (best practices indicate 0.9 to 1.4 inches diameter on bottom, top diameter of 50% to 65% of the base diameter, 0.2 inches high, and base-to-base spacing of 1.6 to 2.5 inches from center to center) designed for maximum detectability.
Polymer concrete tiles
For curb ramps and crosswalks, the STEP-SAFE skid-resistant tiles are made from a precast polymer concrete matrix that makes them high-strength and resistant to wear, weather, and corrosion. Available in 300 mm squares. Transpo Industries Inc. www.transpo.com..
Urethane pads
Ultra-WarningPads are designed with truncated domes to alert the visually impaired to upcoming intersections. The pads come in several sizes and colors, and are made from heavy-duty, flexible urethane material. They install quickly and easily in new construction or as a retrofit. UltraTech International Inc. www.spillcontainment.com..
Polymer tiles
Armor-Tile detectable warning products come in five styles: cast-in-place, surface-applied, modular pavers, detectable directional, and detectable guidance.

Builders' Dream Home Sold for a Song at Foreclosure Auction
This just in: The actual 6,800-square-foot New American Home, on virtual display here at the annual convention of the National Association of Home Builders, has sold for a song, just $490,000 at a foreclosure auction last month. That's well below the $3.39 million price tag back in August.
Of course that price was for a finished home. This year, the builder of the model house, Domanico Custom Homes, couldn't secure the financing to complete the five bedroom, eight bathroom house. So, at this year's Builders' show, which kicked off Tuesday, the house, usually a centerpiece of the trade show, isn't available for tours and parties for the first time since 1984. Instead of being a dream home, the Las Vegas residence has come to symbolize the building industry's woes as financing remains hard to come by.
Adam Knecht, general manager for Domanico, says the home was foreclosed on and resold last month. Cumorah Credit Union, identified by Mr. Knecht as the forecloser, couldn't be reached for comment. Mr. Knecht said he owed $300,000 and there was a second lender, Erick Nelson a private investor, who was owed $180,000.
Mr. Nelson bought the house: "We have to finish it, of course," said the a real-estate investor who snaps up properties at auction, he paid cash for this one. There weren't any other competitors for a site that sold for 25 cents on the dollar at a trustee sale on Dec. 28. The original plan was to resell, but now he wants to live in the home. "It is so unique," he explained, adding he aims to be in by June.
"He got a pretty good deal," Mr. Knecht said of Mr. Nelson, adding that $1 million worth of work remains, ranging from finishing the pool to interior work such as installing countertops. In a bit of good luck, he'll get paid to finish it, though he wouldn't say how much.
"I feel good that we're going to be able to finish the house," Mr. Knecht said, adding he wasn't sure what to think when the foreclosure happened. "I don't know if I was relieved or throwing up my hands in the air and tired of it."
Mr. Knecht says he's going to stick with the construction industry, though he's eschewing supersized McMansions and doing more work with remodeling and foreclosures. Of course, when the market rebounds, he'll happily return to building big houses.
At the conference — the nation's biggest gathering for builders and suppliers – visitors will have to make do with a computerized version of what the house would have looked like.
Attendees seemed to understand. "It can't be the same," said Patti Gray Whann, owner of Glen Falls Area Realty, before viewing the show. "The needed to make lemonade out of lemons. We understand soft markets. We understand financing issues."
Mr. Knecht saw the show, which he labeled incredible. "It makes the house look complete," he said with a laugh.

Baked Mashed Potatoes RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4.5 12 14
This is one comforting side dish that you can prepare ahead. My brother was always quick to dive into these creamy and fluffy potatoes when Mom served them with dinner. My sisters and I kept our eyes on him to be sure we'd get our fair share. -Darlis Wilfer, Phelps, Wisconsin
- 4 large potatoes (about 2 pounds), peeled and quartered
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted divided
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
- 1 cup (8 ounces) cream-style cottage cheese
- 5 green onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup crushed butter-flavored crackers

Sometimes I think the only thing preventing Uber Nerds from taking over the planet is the fact that their numbers are limited. Uber Nerds – the ultimate experts in their fields – are utterly indispensible. As a small business owner you likely have one of your own – or you wish you did.
If you do have one, are you making the most of your best resource? True Uber Nerds are in short supply, they command high prices, and their workloads can quickly pile up. Even Uber Nerds can only be in one place at a time. Or is that really true?
Imagine if you could clone your Uber Nerd. Ethical considerations aside, you probably wouldn't want to wait for your Nerd to mature – you know how hard it is to tolerate children going through puberty, and can you imagine the expense of gaming systems and hardware for a prepubescent Uber Nerd? Back to reality though. There's a way to work smarter, not harder, and get more out of your Uber Nerd: supply your Nerd with minions!
The easiest way to explain how Uber Nerds with minions work is through an example. I used to work in data forensics. When business was booming, we often needed to collect evidence from multiple locations at the same time. But each job frequently presented a unique set of challenges. Short of cloning our staff, we found that the most efficient way to work was to have our most highly skilled technician (a Proto-Uber Nerd) work from a single location – in this case, the office. We trained an army of minions to do the work of actually traveling to the site and recovering the data and evidence, but situations frequently arose that required super specialized expertise, beyond the training of the minions.
How did we solve the problem? The minions called in over Skype to explain the situation and get instructions from the Uber Nerd. Sometimes voice contact was enough, but in some cases the tech in the field would need to send or receive files, and also could do that over Skype. In other cases, the Uber Nerd needed to see what the minion saw, and a Skype video call helped preserve and collect all the information we needed. You can't beat an Uber Nerd with eyes and ears everywhere.
This model has many applications, but the basic concept is that if you need to put multiple experts in motion – physically visiting clients – then it can work for you. The key is finding the right technology to facilitate communication between your Uber Nerds and their minions. If communication breaks down, your model falls apart. In our case, Skype met all our needs: low cost, call and video quality, and reliability.
It's impossible to predict everything your employees will encounter in the field, and it's impractical to train every minion to become an Uber Nerd. Sending staff out with the support of an Uber Nerd, though, maximizes the reach and efficiency of your expert. You don't want to waste your Uber Nerd's talents; you want your expert solving the biggest problems, troubleshooting the trickiest challenges and coaching the minions through solutions.

Surely, it can't be equally difficult to obtain juice from different fruits, but surprisingly, they usually cost the same at the store. One exception may be cranberry juice, which is sometimes a little more expensive than the other juices of the same brand (for various reasons, I suppose).
Does the price become the same for most juices of a single brand because of store pricing policy? Do manufacturers set equal price for them? Or is it really almost equally as hard to make the different juices, so the price is basically the same?

Game Four Thoughts
Posted by Sean Forman on October 31, 2010
Happy Halloween! Our house sits right at the start of the local parade route, so I've already given out 350 pieces of candy tonight. Best costume Animal of the muppets and a box of popcorn.
I like Lyle Lovett, but that seemed a touch morose.
Little Ron Washington is not quite in Baby Mangino territory, but is pretty good.
Over/Under on how many Halloween-related shots of the crowd (18 innings * 2/inning) = 36 separate camera shots. Top of the first, Dumb and Dumber, Construction Worker are the only two I counted the top half. (Rules note, Brian Wilson costumes do not count.)
Fourth double play turned by the Giants in six innings. It's looking like Grich and Belanger out there right now.
There's Waldo!
"Rangers have the best outfield arms in baseball." We have Jeff Francouer #1 in right field, Hamilton #6 in CF (BTW Peter Bourgos deserves the Gold Glove just for the value added in just 2/5ths of a season), and Cruz around average.
With Ishikawa, Uribe, Andrus and Young starting in this game, I'm really disappointed Ogando wasn't starting and no one signed Jim Edmonds to play center. For those of you curious, no WS game has seen a player with a last initial of A, E, I, O, U and Y start the game. The only postseason game ever with six such starters was Game 3 of the 2008 ALCS. Name those six starters.
Aubrey Huff was number two among active players in games played without a postseason appearance. Adam Dunn is the new #2 behind Randy Winn.
Giants are up to 6 DP's turned. World Series record appears to be 10 set in 1951 and 1955. The Indians turned 14 in the 2007 ALCS.
After Posey's home run, FOX caught Hensley Meulens saying "Wow" to Bochy. Agreed.
Do the Rangers really not have a better option to send out there against Bumgarner than Moreland? He doesn't appear to have much chance against lefties (.603 OPS during the year). And if not, why not?
FOX just listed Bumgarner as the fourth youngest to win a WS game. Should have used they Play Index, they missed K-Rod.

Moreland hit a bomb off a LHP last night to win the game -- there's no way he's not starting tonight against Bumgarner. (I'm not saying that's the RIGHT move, but that's how Washington played it.)

SFG may have turned a bunch of double plays, but the first base ump got at least two wrong in Game 4.
I bet the umpires can't wait for the playoffs to be over because they have been terrible.
Tmckelv Says:

Not that it explains why Moreland was in there, but he did get 1 of the 3 hits.

The theme of the Giants as "misfits & castoffs" has been worked to death by the media; in today's NYTimes, Ben Shpigel referred to SF's "ragtag lineup."
This concept has a basis in fact, but it gets more overplayed with every Giants win. And the description fits Texas just as well:
- C, Bengie Molina -- Traded (salary dump) in July for a setup reliever who didn't make the postseason roster.
- 1B, Mitch Moreland -- Rookie made his debut on July 29, and was mostly platooned.
- 3B, Michael Young -- Rangers tried to trade him a couple years ago, but no one would take on his contract (which still has 3 years and $48 million to go).
- LF, Nelson Cruz -- Didn't play a full MLB season until age 28; had an OPS+ of 72 in his first 2 trials with Texas.
- CF, Josh Hamilton -- Was out of baseball (and occasionally homeless) from age 22-24, and at 25 was let go in the Rule 5 draft.
- RF, Jeff Francoeur -- Traded (salary dump) in August for a utility infielder.
- DH, Vlad Guerrero -- Let go by Angels after playing just 100 games last year; took a $10 million pay cut this year.
- P, Colby Lewis -- 30-year-old began the season with a 6.71 career ERA; was released or waived by 4 teams in a 1-year span.
- P, C.J. Wilson -- Converted to SP this season, which he began with a career 4.30 ERA.
It's also worth noting that, for most of this Series, the Rangers have featured the 2 worst hitters, Molina (67 OPS+ this year) and Elvis Andrus (75). Jeff Francoeur (85) has started twice.
John Autin Says:
November 1st, 2010 at 10:27 am
Sean's note on Peter Bourjos led me to check his fielding stats. Wow! -- ten outfield assists in 51 games, and RF/9 almost one full chance above the league average. Too bad he didn't hit a lick.
JD Says:
November 1st, 2010 at 11:55 am
Why in the world would you not start Lee in game 4. Texas should of started Lee in 4 and Wilson in 5 to try and win those games at home. That would of given them 2 chances to win one in SF
John Autin Says:
November 1st, 2010 at 12:32 pm
@9 -- Reasons not to start Lee in Game 4:
-- In his 9-year MLB career, he has never started on 3 days' rest. That includes the postseason -- particularly last year's WS, when the Phillies started Blanton in Game 4 while trailing 2 games to 1.
-- C.J. Wilson also has never started a game on 3 days' rest. Also, this is his first year as a starting pitcher since 2005, and he has already exceeded his previous season high by about 80 innings.
In any case, Texas has been shut out in 2 of 4 games, and their bullpen has been putrid. It's hard to see how Lee could have made a difference in Game 4, given that the Rangers mustered 3 hits and no runs.
John Autin Says:
November 1st, 2010 at 1:14 pm
"FOX just listed Bumgarner as the fourth youngest to win a WS game. Should have used they Play Index, they missed K-Rod."
Indeed they did. Maybe they meant that he was the fourth youngest starter to win a WS game.
P.S. Kind of cool that Fernando Valenzuela and Jim Palmer, the 2nd & 3rd youngest SPs to win a WS game, were the exact same age at the time of their wins.
Johnny Twisto Says:
November 1st, 2010 at 2:21 pm
The all-time median age of a SP to win a WS game is 29 years, 64 days. Of a losing SP, it is 29 yrs, 266 days.

I had already started my vowel initials list with Chase Utley and trying to recollect who was on the Dodgers in 2008 when I re-read the sentence and noticed that the game in question was in the American League Championship Series.
Costumes of the night were those two guys dressed as recent ex-Presidents sitting up front near the Rangers' on-deck circle. What? Those weren't costumes? Never mind!
The Rangers used a total of three relief pitchers with last names that start with "O". The other two, in addition to Ogando, were Oliver and O'Day.
When I see lefthander Derek Holland on the mound in uniform #45, I keep looking for the MUL at the beginning of his last name. Terry Mulholland pitched for 11 different teams, including multiple stints with the Giants, but the Rangers were one for whom he never pitched. He wore #45 for most of those teams at one time or another.
Richard Says:

@ 7
They may have tried to trade Michael Young, but that hardly makes him a misfit/castoff.
Josh Hamilton was just a great trade. Reds got a good starting pitcher for him.
Guerrero wasn't "let go" by the Angels. He was a free agent. He made less money because GMs thought one poor season meant he was finished. They were wrong.
David Varet Says:
November 1st, 2010 at 9:13 pm
In Fox's defense (saying that makes me cringe), they did say the 4th youngest to start and win a WS game - not just win.
John Autin Says:
November 1st, 2010 at 9:53 pm
@14 -- Only the first of your three points is a reasonable counterstatement to what I wrote. You are right that Michael Young does not neatly fit the "misfits/castoffs" tag just because Texas tried (but failed) to dump his contract.
On your other 2 points:
-- The fact that Hamilton was a good acquisition does not preclude him from wearing the "misfit/castoff" description. As I said before, he was out of the game for three whole years, then was exposed in the Rule 5 draft. If he's not a castoff, there's no such animal.
-- The fact that Guerrero was a free agent does not contradict the idea that he was "let go" by the Angels. When you make no effort to re-sign your own free agent, you're letting him go.
You note that other GMs were wrong to think Vlad was finished -- well, sure. But that just emphasizes my own point about a guy like Aubrey Huff. We've heard a dozen times during postseason broadcasts that Huff was SF's 3rd choice to play first base last offseason, and they were able to get him for about $3 million because no one else wanted to pay him more. And why was that? Because a lot of GMs are just like fans; they can't see past what the player did last year. Huff has had many good seasons, and in 2008 he hit .304/32/108 and led the league in extra-base hits. Huff's fine 2010 season is no more of a surprise than Vlad's.
Huff, Ross, Uribe, Burrell (33 HRs in 2008), F.Sanchez -- they were all "castoffs" in a sense, but mostly because of other teams' money decisions. They've all had good major-league careers, and there was no reason to think any of them were washed up heading into this year. The "castoffs" concept was just a storyline that sounded good for the media.
DoubleDiamond Says:
November 3rd, 2010 at 10:18 pm
This topic is about to go to the 2nd page, but I just wanted to comment on the remark about the Reds getting a good starting pitcher for Hamilton. That pitcher, Edinson Volquez, now joins Sal Maglie as the only two pitchers to be the losing pitchers in postseason no-hitters.

Indian Dinner Party (17 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
I really look forward to hosting an Indian Dinner Party. I find it very therapeutic to spend time in the kitchen making dishes that you do not make everyday. I enjoy the smell of the spices as they pop and simmer away and I know at the end of the cooking process I will have made some amazing meals. With an Indian Dinner party, as you guests enter the door they are greated with the wonderful aromas of exotic spices and they are left in no doubt about what is on the menu.
I've collected a number of trinkets that I use for styling Indian dinner parties these include some loved and worn candle holders that I've toped with green pillar candles and a number of elephants that have found there way into the house. This year I've created a printable range to compliment the table including napkin rings, name tents and a menu, these are available from our shop at www.chicpartyideas.com
I've created a three course menu based on some of my favourite Indian recipes (I have many) that are fairly straight forward to put together. The full recipes and some useful tips are included on our blog.
For now enjoy and think Indian at your next Dinner Party.

This reflection is taken from my book Pro-Life Reflections for Every Day, which is available for purchase at: ProLifeReflectionsForEveryDay.org
"No one can tame the tongue…With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God" (James 3:8-9).
Reflection: In the efforts to oppress various segments of humanity, dehumanizing language is always used. The unborn have been called "parasites," "tissue," and other non-personal names. Such language not only degrades persons, but dishonors the One who made them in his image. The Culture of Life demands language that ennobles and honors.
Prayer: Guard our tongues, Lord God, that what we say about human lives may always honor them and you. Amen.

Young Phenom Recovers Like an Old Pro
Andy Zhang, the 14-year-old China native, this week won golf fans' hearts by becoming the youngest-ever U.S. Open competitor. He then wrenched them with this nightmarish start: triple bogey, double bogey, bogey, bogey and bogey.
Then, on the sixth hole, Zhang finally found the fairway on a thunderous drive. He was so excited that he bounded after the ball with his club in hand, leaving his caddy behind. He shot par that hole and for the rest of the course shot 1-over, including a birdie on the 18th hole that sent the crowd roaring.
The sixth hole was the turning point. "The first par I made, (the fans) were like kind of like yelling for me, and then I kind of gained my confidence," he said.
Already six-feet tall and muscled, Zhang is one of the more imposing figures on the golf course. But the teenager admitted that he was trembling as he started the day.
"I was on the first tee, I was like, just please don't hit a hundred-yard slice off the first tee, and I was shaking really hard," Zhang said.
His opening drive shot was fine, landing about eight feet into the rough. But he yanked the next shot far left into the bushes, forcing him to take a penalty and shoot again. At 8-over after five holes, he was on pace to break the record for the worst U.S. Open round by a first-time participant: 94, first set by Gene McNulty in 1955, when the tournament was also at the Olympic Club.
With the help of his sixth-hole drive, he didn't come close, finishing with a 79, still the fourth-worst score of the day so far. "I kept myself pretty calm out there," he said. "I think I'm pretty happy with that."

College Hockey:Ammerman, Knight each score twice as Wisconsin crushes Boston College
DULUTH, Minn. — Wisconsin is back in the championship game for the sixth time in seven seasons after surviving an early Boston College goal before scoring the next five to pull away and win, 6-2. It is the second consecutive year the Badgers defeated the Eagles in the Frozen Four semifinal.
"For the most part, it was probably one of the better games we've played in the last couple of weeks, so it's a good thing," Badgers coach Mark Johnson said.
The Badgers (33-4-2) got two goals from Brittany Ammerman and Hilary Knight, and single tallies from Carolyne Prévost and Brooke Ammerman. The Ammermans became the first sisters to score in the same Frozen Four game.
Brittany said she was excited to hear that, but added the win on its own was pretty exciting.
Perhaps the biggest goal of the night was that by Prévost. With the game tied, 1-1, a puck squirted past the point on a BC power play, and the speedy senior was off to the races with Emily Pfalzer of the Eagles in pursuit.
"I saw her kind of fumble the puck at the blue line," Prévost said. "I basically had from the blue line all the way in by myself, so I was panicking a little bit, but the goalie challenged me a little bit, so I was able to move to the outside and almost basically have an open net."
Her unassisted goal provided a 2-1 lead for the Badgers.
"When teams score in women's hockey, people get excited," Johnson said. "So it's a big goal, and it creates energy within our bench."
"I'm extremely proud of the way our team played a full 60 minutes and gave it everything we had," BC coach Katie King Crowley said, although she hoped for a different outcome.
At least in part, that was due to the efforts of Prévost, who had a goal and an assist.
"She's quick," King Crowley said. "I think she's one of their quickest players."
Hilary Knight swelled the lead to two goals 94 seconds into the middle frame, breaking in two-on-one, cutting to the middle, and scoring upstairs on BC goaltender Corinne Boyles.
"They came out and got that goal within two minutes of the start of the period to make it 3-1, so that was a tough one," King Crowley said.
The BC coach liked the start better than the teams' last meeting, when she felt her club may have been a bit starry-eyed.
Rookie Emily Field gave the Eagles (24-10-3) a flying start. Field took a pass from junior defenseman Blake Bolden and slipped the puck by a defender before sliding it through Alex Rigsby's five-hole just 57 seconds from the drop of the puck.
"I still have the puck, I still have the puck," Field said was her reaction to finding herself in alone on the goaltender. "I remember talking about shooting low, shooting low, shooting low. I got close, and I was kind of blank, and I just shot the puck where I knew I should and it went in."
Johnson had said it was important to set the tone early with a strong start on the first shift.
"Obviously, they weren't listening to me," he said. "Unfortunately for us, Emily Field makes a nice play and we're down 1-0."
Wisconsin evened the score six minutes later on a low shot by Brittany Ammerman, the first of her two goals on the night.
"It's really exciting to come out the way I did tonight," she said. "It gives me a lot of confidence."
After going down 3-1 early in the second period, BC survived back-to-back penalties including 11 seconds of five-on-three time without losing ground. However, Brittany Ammerman tallied again at 17:21 of period two, and Wisconsin began to take greater control.
Senior Brooke Ammerman tipped in a shot by Prévost to put Wisconsin up by four, but the Eagles got another five-on-three opportunity, and this time they converted.
Alex Carpenter let a shot go from the slot that deflected off of a Wisconsin skate and into the net; BC was back within three at 5-2. The goal was the 21st in Carpenter's first season.
"It was definitely very exciting," Carpenter said of her team's trip to the Frozen Four. "It was great to be here as a freshman, and hopefully, we'll get back here in years to come. It was just a good experience all around."
Boyles finished with 32 saves in her first Frozen Four appearance. Rigsby made 22 saves in earning the 33rd win of her season.
Now the Badgers know that win or lose, Sunday will be the last game of their Frozen Four experience, and in the case of those like Knight and Prévost, their careers as Badgers.
"It goes by quickly, and you have to take it all in," Knight said.

text: Aug 14, 2014 00:41 CAMP REPORT: Tigers' many tight ends enjoy slower practice pace CAMP REPORT: Tigers' many tight ends enjoy slower practice pace Advocate file photo by PATRICK DENNIS -- LSU tight end Travis Dickson catches a ball during spring practice. With 10 tight ends on the LSU roster, each player at the position is getting fewer reps, Dickson said. ROSS DELLENGER| firstname.lastname@example.com Aug. 9, 2014; 11:53 p.m. Comments Travis Dickson never had so much downtime at practice. LSU's senior tight end has the luxury of relaxing every so often during drills. That's just how deep his position group is. "It's making camp a lot more enjoyable," a smiling Dickson said. Said starter Dillon Gordon: "We can have a rotation, keep our legs fresh, not have so many plays." The Tigers have 10 tight ends listed on their roster, and half-dozen are viable options for playing time, including Gordon, DeSean Smith, Dickson and Logan Stokes. The gang could play a bigger role this season than it has in the past. But isn't that said every year about the tight ends? They mean it this season. Three LSU tight ends, all returning, caught 12 passes last year. That's more returning receptions than another position group: receiver. LSU is low on experience there. Seven of the nine receivers on the preseason depth chart have never played a college snap. The other two — Quantavius Leslie and Travin Dural — caught a combined eight passes in 2013. "Hopefully we get the ball more," Dickson said, "but we've always had a hidden role in this offense, and we're happy with it." In other words, blocking still may be the main focus. During reporters' viewing windows of fall camp, tight ends are seen mostly working on blocking. That's not so bad. "Whatever the role is, we've always had a pretty big role in this offense," Dickson said. "Tight ends, running backs and offensive line are the big veterans on offense. We're expecting these groups are going to play a real big part in our offense." Close to perfect Colby Delahoussaye made 13 of 14 field-goal attempts last season. How do you top that? "Probably working on getting better," the sophomore kicker said earlier this week. "Not looking at any stats or goals or statistics." Delahoussaye burst onto the scene as a walk-on freshman last season and claimed the starting job, made nine straight field goals, hit 93 percent of his tries overall and earned a scholarship. He also made 56 of 57 extra points. He's expected to have a new duty this year: kicking off. James Hairston transferred from LSU to Rice over the summer for an opportunity to kick field goals. Delahoussaye is listed as the kickoff specialist on the team's preseason depth chart. He has been working on kickoffs at practice and booting them into the end zone, he said. Reporters have not been allowed to view the special teams portion of practice. "Only thing different (with kickoffs) is you get more steps back, and the follow-through — you're having more of a crunch, and you're landing on your kicking foot instead of your plant foot," Delahoussaye said. "It's all the same motion. Just kick off; you get to put a little more pop into it. Field goals, you don't want to kill the ball every time. You just want to be accurate." Delahoussaye is fully recovered from a nagging groin injury last season. The strength in his kicking leg is back to 100 percent, he said. Another freshman receiver Receiver Malachi Dupre and Trey Quinn are the headliners at receiver among LSU's No. 2-ranked signing class. Don't forget about Tony Upchruch. The 6-foot-2, 230-pound Texan is making his mark early in camp, said cornerback Tre'Davious White. "He's a big-body guy," White said. "He's a guy who uses his body well. He can use his body well and sheer you away from the ball." Lagniappe LSU is holding its annual fan day Sunday starting at 5 p.m. in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center and the Maddox Field House. … LSU conducted its first day of two-a-days on Saturday. The practices were completely closed to reporters. Media members were allowed to see a 10-to-20-minute portion of practice the first five days of camp. … Donaldsonville receiver Tre Sullivan, a former walk-on, has earned a scholarship this season, a team spokesman confirmed.

I would like to know if - do you have to fight?
I understand that if there is a disparity of force you can use your gun to defend yourself. But what if there is no disparity of force, being that it appears to be an even match.
My example is that a BG wants to fight you but you decline and try to leave. But the BG has you trapped with no escape. The BG has no weapons except fists. Can you draw and shoot if the BG wont move out of your way so you can leave or do you have to fight?

Before my time, there were guys like Wilt Chamberlin, Wes Unseld and Bill Russell that my dad would refer to when he spoke about ball players who dominated on the low block.
As a kid I was fortunate enough to see legends like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kevin McHale, Hakeem Olajuawan and Patrick Ewing among others patrolling the paint during the 80's and 90's.
I thought the age of teams having a premiere post presence would die with the retirement of Shaquille O'neal and Tim Duncan subsequently, but if you look closely (ironically not on the all-star roster) you'll see the pride of Prentiss Mississippi, Al Jefferson carrying the torch for the grown man's game.
Jefferson, the 6 foot 10 center of the Charlotte Bobcats has been absolutely wearing teams out in the painted area this season. Offensively, you would have to go into the NBA archives to compare his game to another player.
Averaging 21.6 points and 10.5 rebounds per game in an era where big men are shooting three pointers and trying to stretch the floor, Jefferson's game is much more simple and quite refreshing if you ask one of my seven uncles.
"Al is one of those guys where you know what he's going to do and you still can't stop him," one NBA GM said. "Just give him the ball on the left block and watch him work. You can send two or three guys at him and he will either score or find an open teammate."
He continued, "It is almost as if his game is foreign to so many would-be defenders because he makes seven footers look like a fish out of water trying to guard him down low."
"I have been so fortunate to learn from two of the best big men in the league, being coached by Kevin McHale in Minnesota and now Patrick Ewing in Charlotte." Jefferson said, "I also got a video of Moses Malone that Doc Rivers gave me during my rookie year, he said my game reminded him of his (Malone) and I agree, I still got the tape."
The hardest part about guarding Jefferson is that he has a litany of ways to get his shot off. "I developed my pump faking after spending some time with Paul Pierce during my first year in Boston" Jefferson said, "Paul was the master of that and I wanted it in my repertoire."
Like a pitcher who throws a slider, curve ball and a fastball, Big Al also uses a jump hook, an up-and-under move and has developed a deadly 15 foot jump shot that renders him virtually unstoppable.
"Putting one guy on me is not going to cut it" Jefferson said with a sly smile, "if you don't bring an extra man over it's going to be a long night for whoever is guarding me."
Since signing a three-year $40.5 million contract during the off-season, Jefferson has helped change the culture in Charlotte this year while keeping them right in the thick of the Eastern Conference Playoff race. Currently the Bobcats are sitting in the seventh spot with 10 games remaining.
"Charlotte is going to be one of those places that teams realize if they want a win, it ain't coming easy." Jefferson said. "This is not a place where you look at the schedule, see Charlotte and think you can take the night off, cause we are bringing it every night."
That was evidenced on Wednesday night when the Bobcats hosted the Brooklyn Nets, who have been the hottest team in the Eastern Conference since the all-star break.
Led by Jefferson's 35 points and 15 rebounds Charlotte outlasted the Nets and their 17 made three-point baskets in overtime 116-111.
Pierce who now plays for the Nets said after the game, "No one on the planet can guard him. We tried to double him. Single, triple—there's nothing we could have done with him tonight. He was in that type of zone, and that's the way he's been playing."
In a venue that has hosted only one playoff game since being built in 2004, Time Warner Cable Arena was rocking like the playoffs were already underway on a cold night in March.
Teammate Kemba Walker said, "Having a guy like Al that you can get the ball to when you need a bucket, not only makes players and coaches confident, but the fans in the stands know he's going to get it done too and you can feel the energy in the building."

Does there exist for arbitrary $\alpha$, $0<\alpha<1$, a measurable subset $A$ of the closed unit interval $[0,1]$ such that Lebesgue measure $m(A)=\alpha$ and the following "homogeneity" condition is satisfied: for any subinterval $[a,b]\subseteq[0,1]$ one has: $m(A\cap[a,b])=\alpha\cdot (b-a)$?
closed as off-topic by Nate Eldredge, Bill Johnson, Andrés E. Caicedo, Anthony Quas, Andrey Rekalo Jul 2 '13 at 7:00
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
It turned out that such sets do not exist, due to the Lebesgue density theorem, as prompted by Nate Eldridge. Applied to the unit interval, the Lebesgue density theorem states that
If $A$ is a measurable subset of $[0,1]$, then $$ \lim_{\epsilon\to 0} \frac{m(A\cap (x-\epsilon,x+\epsilon))}{2\epsilon} = 1 $$ for almost all $x\in A$.
So if we take $[a,b]=[x-\epsilon,x+\epsilon]$, the condition from the original question says that $m(A\cap[a,b])/m([a,b])=\alpha$ for all $a,b$, so $\alpha$ should be equal to 1.
Intuitively, this means that measurable subsets of non-full measure cannot be spread homogeneously onto the whole set, but must be 'lumpy' like generalized Cantor sets - have dense regions in some places and holes in the other.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The federal government has been saying for years that pregnant women and young children should limit their consumption of fish to avoid exposure to potentially harmful amounts of mercury.
But now, two top consumer protection agencies are at odds about that advice.
The Food and Drug Administration argues the health benefits of eating fish outweigh the potential ill effects of mercury. But the Environmental Protection Agency calls the FDA study "scientifically flawed and inadequate" and an "oversimplification" lacking analytical rigor.
Environmental groups say it's a sneak attempt to undercut important public health advice in the waning hours of a Bush administration that has treated science as a stepchild.
The food industry is praising the FDA's shift.

by ensemble member Bruce Norris
Exceedingly clever...packs a surprising emotional punch
On two separate afternoons, 50 years apart, a modest bungalow on Chicago's northwest side becomes a contested site in the politics of race. September 1959: Russ and Bev are moving out to the suburbs. They've inadvertently sold the house to the neighborhood's first black family and ignited a community showdown. September 2009: the neighborhood is ripe for gentrification and the house is again changing hands. This time to a young white couple with plans for demolition and a knack for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.
In a provocative nod to A Raisin in the Sun, Pulitzer Prize winner Bruce Norris takes a hilarious look at what happens when home becomes a battleground.

Christians and Muslims have united today in an effort to battle modern-day slavery where millions of men, women and children are held around the world. These enslaved individuals are forced to work as work as maids, prostitutes, child soldiers and manual laborers.
The two faiths came together to launch the Global Freedom Network at the Vatican. Their goal is to wipe out slavery and encourage business, governments, faith and educational institutions to not use companies or organizations associated with this form of human trafficking and slave labor.
Founder of the Walk Free Foundation, Andrew Forrest used personal contacts to bring everyone involved with the initiative on board. He believes with a plan for profitability, communities will thrive without slavery.
"We have absolute economic proof that once you take slavery out of a community, that community grows and grows and grows," said Forrest.
