WASHINGTON (PAI) -- Declaring presidential "fast-track" trade authority dead, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka is urging President Obama to construct a new trade policy, as part of larger pro-worker economic policy.
In a major speech on fast-track and trade, and in Q&A afterwards, Trumka called the president's current trade plan "dead on arrival" in the U.S. Senate because then-Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., couldn't find any other Democrats to support it on his panel, which writes trade laws.
Over in the GOP-run House, though Trumka did not say so, three-fourths (150) of House Democrats have abandoned the president's fast-track proposals, as have at least 28 Republicans.
The death of fast-track, Obama told the Center for American Progress, gives him the opportunity to construct a new trade policy to benefit workers in the U.S. and worldwide, that guarantees labor rights, that protects "buy America" federal, state and local rules and that is not tilted towards corporations, among other positive factors.
And when Obama agrees to go in that new direction, labor stands ready to work with him on crafting it, Trumka pledged. Organized labor is not against trade, he declared, but against unfair trade. "The question is how the U.S. engages in the global economy, and what it means for American workers and workers around the world," he explained.
Fast-track, formally called trade promotion authority, lets a president rush legislation implementing trade pacts through Congress. The danger with that approach, unions note, is that a president could decide to circumvent hearings at which the public might have input and avoid changes, including pro-labor amendments. Unions also feel that fast track could be used by a chief executive trying to avoid the issue of protection of labor rights by our trading partners.
Existing U.S. trade pacts, Trumka said, have also cost hundreds of thousands of jobs here at home and are a major factor in increasing U.S. income inequality.
U.S. trade officials and the business community that pushes fast-track and trade pacts don't consider these factors or take note of public opposition to unfair trade, Trumka said. "If you close your eyes and listen to their talk, you'd think it was 1999 or 1994," Trumka commented. "We can't enact a failed model" of trade policies or economic policies, he added.
The goal of any new trade policy, he added, "should be to create enforceable labor standards, environmental standards and consumer standards - and to structure the pacts to drive wages up." Past pacts, he said, drove wages down by encouraging corporations to offshore U.S. jobs unless workers agreed to much lower living standards.
Death of fast-track, Trumka said after the formal Q&A, also means two trade pacts President Obama is negotiating - one with 11 other Pacific Rim countries and the other with the 27-nation European Union - are dead in Congress, at least for this year. If fast-track were to pass, the president would submit legislation implementing the two.
Most of the criticism of those trade pacts has centered on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which includes extremely low-wage nations that lack worker rights. But Trumka said there are pitfalls in the proposed pact with Europe, too.
One is that big financial institutions "on both sides of the Atlantic" would use that pact to undermine central bank requirements that curb financiers' speculation. Such speculation, with shaky or no asset backing, led to the 2008 Great Recession, which cost workers millions of jobs in the U.S. and worldwide, he said.
"Our trading partners" over the last 20 years "pushed weak unions, low wages and subsidies for foreign investment - such as tax-free export zones. That gave us a global financial system" that produced the crash, he explained. The old model of trade pacts "fuels bubbles and busts. And ever since the 1980s, big business has looked offshore first, rather than America, as the place to invest."
A new trade policy would produce the opposite results, he declared. The federation has put together its own trade policy package and is touting it to lawmakers. It includes enforceable worker rights - including the right to organize - and continued central bank requirements for financiers to back their trading with capital.
It also would include preserving "buy America" laws, a ban on using government procurement rules as a way to undercut public servants' jobs through outsourcing and offshoring, and enforceable language saying that currency manipulation is an unfair trading practice that can be penalized.
That trade policy should be part of a wider Obama economic policy designed to benefit workers, not corporations, he said. "Its best advocate - on his better days - has been Obama," Trumka said, recalling the president's statements at a 2009 summit of industrial nations, held in Pittsburgh.
"But we need to pursue policies for a strong cycle of global growth," he said, "including a global New Deal to bring electricity, water, roads and the Internet" - among other infrastructure "to everyone worldwide."
That global growth policy would also focus on raising workers' wages, thus increasing living standards and purchasing power for all workers, in the U.S. and abroad, he added.

Bold shoulders are all over the catwalks this season and we want to find a way to wear them in a not-so-fashionista (otherwise known as intimidating) way. That's why we thought that this Warehouse Zip Shoulder Bodycon Dress ($86) was a perfect fit! The LBD will be wearable over and over again and the zippers along the sleeves allow us to give the shoulders a rest for hotter or more mellow nights. Fab!

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Junior Willie Bloomquist and senior Andrew Beinbrink were named Offensive Co-Players of the Year at the 1999 Arizona State Baseball Banquet held at The Buttes last night.
Bloomquist and Beinbrink were also recognized as the On Deck Circle Most Valuable Players. Bloomquist led the team in hits, runs and triples and posted back-to-back 100+ hit seasons. Beinbrink has become ASU's career leader in RBI, runs scored, and total bases. He is also in the top five in career doubles, hits and homeruns at Arizona State.
Senior Chuck Crumpton and freshman Jon Switzer were honored as Co-Pitchers of the Year while junior Mark Ernster was named Outstanding Defensive Player of the Year. Crumpton, who hails from Mesquite, Texas, went 7-4 during the regular season with a 4.33 ERA and threw three complete games.

The Bobby Winkles Award was given to sophomore Jeff Phelps while the Jim Henderson Courage Award went to Chip Gosewisch who came back from shoulder surgery in 1998.
Senior pitcher Charlie Williamson was honored as Mr. Fireman. Williamson led the conference in appearances with 30 and led the ASU pitching staff with a 3.73 ERA. He struck out 45 batters in 31.1 innings of work in 1999.

First National Arts Index measures health of the arts
Americans for the Arts announced the National Arts Index at a press conference this morning. The Index is a single-number score measuring the the health and vitality of the arts in the United States. Think of the national consumer confidence score.
The 2008 score of 98.4 is down 4.2 percentage points from 102.6 in 2007, "reflecting losses in charitable giving and declining attendance at larger cultural institutions — even as the number of arts organizations grew," according to Americans for the Arts.
The Index is a highly distilled annual measure based on 76 indicator categories. It covers a span from 1998 to 2008 and is set to a base score of 100 in 2003.

Electrical is flicker
The anchor and the strife
They are analyzing details
Through the morning, through the night
From chaos, order
From darkness, light
I will offer no resistance
I can offer no respite
Wake me when the conflict is over
I aim for a peaceful life
Shake me when this madness is no more
I favor a peaceful life
Cain and Abel
The wrong and the right
I will offer no resistance
In the battle, in the fight
Wake me when the conflict is over
I aim for a peaceful life
Shake me when this blackness is no more
I favor a peaceful life
Wake me up when the fury is over
I like living a peaceful life
Shake me when this conflict is no more
My aim is a peaceful life

The Shadowy World of NYC's Underground Ramen Joints
Late-night slurping in the city that never sleeps.
If you thought you'd conquered every ramen outpost in NYC, check out Eater's list of "secret" ramen-yas — most of them pop-ups that come out after dark, since the noodle soup is the perfect après-drinking slurp for the city that never sleeps. The action takes place mostly at midtown sushi restaurants courting double identities, and oddly enough, in Williamsburg/Greenpoint, where even divey No Name Bar is now offering after-hours ramen in its basement.

This year, Disney's Hollywood Studios is celebrating Frozen Summer, which of course means Anna and Elsa are on hand. You'll have to head over to the Magic Kingdom if you want to meet them in person (and I highly recommend getting a FastPass to minimize the often crazy wait times), but you have some great opportunities to see them at the Studios, too.
The first daily chance to see Anna and Elsa is in their royal welcome processional at 11 a.m. each day through September 1. Stake out a spot early, and try to get as close to the stage as possible because that's where the presentation will be once the processional is done. If you don't want the hassle of picking and holding a good spot yourself, you can buy the Frozen Package, which includes a great viewing spot.
The processional is a mini-parade with lots of performers who pave the way for Anna and Elsa in their horse drawn carriage. Kristoff is on hand, too, although Sven must have gotten distracted somewhere eating carrots as he's not part of the entourage. It ends at the stage, where Anna and Elsa come out for the official royal welcome. Kristoff joins them, as does Olaf, albeit just on the big screen. Then Elsa does a bit of magic to make sure that there's snow, no matter how hot the Florida temps have soared for the day.
Click the slideshow accompanying this article to get an idea of what you'll see.
It's a fun little mini-parade and show, and kids who love the Frozen princesses will get a kick out of seeing them live. You might have to wait a while to get a good parade spot, but that's nothing compared to the multi-hour waits that can happen at the busiest times to see Anna and Elsa in the Magic Kingdom.
Of course, this isn't the only opportunity to see the duo. Jump to this article to read about their live sing-along show, which is presented several times a day. The Frozen Package includes preferred seating for the sing-along (and yes, of course it includes "Let It Go"). I recommend catching the processional, then heading over to the theater to enjoy the nice air conditioning during the show after your wait outside in the sun.

June 30, 2000
My academic and intellectual interest continues to be focused on the relationship between liberty and responsibility, and public, clinical, and legal policies based in the idea that the person is a moral agent. I'm neither for nor against AA or MM. To me, it would be like saying I'm for or against a particular religion. I think people should have the freedom to worship as they see fit, and those who want to go to AA and/or MM are no exception. Both programs, as are all forms of "treatment" for behavior, have more to do with moral management and secular ethics than science and medicine. I have long maintained that since addiction is not a disease, it cannot be treated. People who want to attend these programs have a right to attend them, and to delude themselves, just as they should have a right to take drugs. Harming oneself may be a vice. Harming others is a crime.
I could care less whether AA or MM or any of the "recovery" groups live or die, just as I could care less whether any particular religious program lives or dies. I am opposed to coercion. My main concern is that people be allowed to do whatever they want as long as they do not harm others in the process.
I think it's important to focus on personal responsibility in this case, not on any treatment-approach responsibility. Instead of getting defensive about any one approach I think people should focus on the personal responsibility issue. Blaming one approach avoids this central issue: Audrey Kishline the person is responsible for her behavior and the consequences of her behavior. Period. Also, there is no point in speculating about the reasons for her behavior. The fact is nothing caused her to do what she did. She drank for reasons that will likely remain unknown. As Tom Szasz has always emphasized, things are caused, behavior has reasons.
The issue of Kishline's renouncing of MM -- or any approach -- is, in my opinion, a red herring. It's an issue only if one is intent on blaming one approach or another. Blaming anything or anyone other than Audrey Kishline is a way of absolving her of responsibility for her behavior. Her announcement in January is irrelevant. There is no reason to explain, justify, or rationalize Kishline's behavior.
If one is to engage in a debate about whether such-and-such a treatment is to blame, I think the bottom line is obvious: Treatment or "recovery" programs, regardless of their orientation, don't work. Period. The defense attorney's and prosecutor's continued faith in treatment for her, again, regardless of its orientation, is outrageous and should be criticized. They are risking the public's welfare and safety by encouraging Kishline to be in treatment for addiction.
Kishline's behavior is a criminal justice matter, not a medical or recovery matter. Society needs to be protected from Audrey Kishline. She is a threat to society and should be put away for a long, long time. My inclination is to criticize the prosecutor for suggesting anything less than a life sentence in prison.
I support a life sentence in prison for Kishline. Another option would be to give her the opportunity to commit suicide. I know the state won't give her this option, but I think it is a viable one.
If Audrey Kishline tries to commit suicide, as she may very well attempt to do given the opportunity, her behavior will immediately be diagnosed as an expression of mental illness. This, most likely, will be used to divert her into psychiatric treatment.
The idea that anyone would listen to what Kishline has to say about "problem drinkers" versus "alcoholics" is ludicrous. It is a way to achieve moral exculpation in the public eye, a way to portray herself as a victim. As I wrote in my book, Addiction Is a Choice, in the chapter entitled "Moderation Management and Murder," this is why I separated from MM years ago. The distinction between problem drinker and "alcoholic" with the disease of alcoholism or "dependency" is nonsense.
People can control their drinking. That's a fact, not an opinion. Whether they will control their drinking or not is another matter.
Finally, let's be clear about the tragedy here: Kishline is no victim. The father and daughter she killed, their family, and Kishline's family are victims of Audrey Kishline. There should be absolutely no doubt who the victims in this tragedy were/are, and by the same token, who the predator was/is.

Looking for a mussels recipe with Wow factor? This is it. Fresh mussels cooked in and served with a spicy coconut curry broth.
- 2 lbs of mussels, cleaned and debearded
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 thai chili, finely chopped (can substitute good pinch of chili flakes)
- 3 teaspoons of ginger, minced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of curry powder
- 1/2 cup of chicken broth
- 1 can of coconut milk (13.5 fl. oz.)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 stalk of lemongrass, chopped into four pieces and smashed
- 3 kaffir lime leaves* (optional)
- Chopped cilantro
- Lime wedges
*Kaffir lime leaf: a key ingredient in Vietnamese, Thai, and Hmong cuisine; can be found in Asian Markets, though many markets now carry them in the produce aisles with other fresh herbs. The taste is very distinct and can't be substituted. However, you can make this dish without the leaves and the mussels will still taste great.
1 Place mussels in a bowl of cold water so the mussels will spit out any sand or mud. Let them sit for 10 minutes. Drain and repeat. Toss any mussels that are open as these are dead. Debeard the mussels, pulling out their byssal threads (aka: their "beards") and place them in a bowl of cold water until ready to use.
2 Heat the oil in a pan and add the onion and stir for a few minutes until they become soft and slightly translucent. Add the chilies, ginger, and curry powder and stir for a minute until fragrant.
3 Add the chicken broth and reduce half. Add the coconut milk, salt, lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves if using and bring to a boil. Drain and add the mussels, reduce heat to medium and cover with a tight fitting lid. Cook for 6-7 minutes until the mussels open. Discard any that are closed as these were dead before cooking. (Some may only be slightly open, if you have to debate on whether it's good to eat or not, toss it.) Spoon mussels into bowls and pour over with broth. Garnish with chopped cilantro and juice from lime wedges.

Oh the weather outside is frightful – frightfully cold nationwide.
While we'd all like to relive our childhoods, making snow angels, ice skating, snowboarding, cross-country skiing and so on, PLEASE watch out for the welfare of your kids and grandkids and take proper precautions.
As a parent or grandparent, reducing weather-related health problems should be at top of your list during extremely frigid temperatures.
Across the nation, we are experiencing the coldest winter weather in decades, and while it may be tempting to experience and relive the joy our youth and have fun in the snow, by all means do so, but only if you take proper precautions and DRESS for success in extreme frigid temperatures.
When the skin is exposed to extremely cold temperatures, the body begins to lose heat faster than it can be produced and prolonged exposure to the cold uses up the body's stored energy, resulting in hypothermia or frostbite -- abnormally low body temperatures. Lowered body temperatures are known to affect the brain, making one unable to think clearly or comprehend sensations and move in appropriate ways. This makes hypothermia extremely dangerous, especially in children, because they may not understand what is happening to them and therefore unable to react or do anything about it.
When temperatures are frigid, don't go outside if you don't have to. But kids are kids and keeping them inside on snow days is not always easy. There are snowmen and forts to make, mountains to slide down and all that good fun. After all, WE walked how many MILES to go to school in the snow? Or maybe that was our grandparents. At any rate, that was then and this is NOW. Why risk it?
If you have to let the kids go outside (Look – you're the adult who makes the decisions--they don't have to, even if they're driving you nuts…but…once it's no longer extremely cold, and you DO let them play outside, be strong, be smart, and dress them appropriately.)
Most importantly, make sure the kids know
The Top 10 Rules of when to come inside
1. If it's not warm enough for you to go out, don't let the kids go out. PERIOD.
2. Dress them warmly, in layers, and make sure they stay dry. Let them know that once they feel "wet" inside their boots, on their hands, on their faces or heads – they should come inside. Explain to them why.
3. Hats are a must, because the head is the first place hot air is released. Hats with earmuffs are even better.
4. Mittens are better than gloves, as they are said to keep hands warmer longer.
5. Wrapping a scarf around their faces as well as their necks is important.
6. Make sure they know to avoid walking on ice or getting wet.
7. At the first sign of any "tingling" sensation, anywhere on their body, they should know to go inside immediately.
8. Never try to warm hands up with hot or cold water – medium temperatures are best. (If the water's too hot and your hands are too cold, you may be at risk of scalding yourself.)
9. Remove all wet clothing and dress in warm clothes, even using blankets to warm up.
10. No one was ever hurt by a nice, warm cup of "hot" cocoa and a warm hug!

New Rgb Saber Mod
alright beta 3 or 4 . i didn't count ....
extract in the GAMEDATA and ru the
to load the game !
the configs are in the setup screen ...
the source code is here :
any feedback will be apriciated....
and i know that the color in the box and in game are slightly diferents.....
Mmm Mmm Mmm. Keeps getting better.:) Soon it wont be reffered to as a saber mod, but just the mod:)
Still should have been like this in the first place...
thx !
do you have any sugestion or problems ????
any idea on what i could add ?
This is too sweet. :)
thx do you have any sugestions? or comments ?
thx .....
Well, is there anyway to get your saber previewed like it would be in-game? Thats all I can really think of. :)
Now what would be really sweet is if you could somehow call up the windows pallette color picker thing and select your color through that. :)
well arn't the sliding bars enought .....?
because it was really hard to make and even more difficult : the previsualisation ...
you know the horible box that shows you aproximately the color of your lightsaber ....
It was really difficult .....
for the windows palette well even if i used the windows API it wouldn't be in-game ....
i would have to create an exterior program which would give you the rgb values....
But the color might not show up exactly the same in jk2 so i don't plan on doing such a thing ....
u have to make tck_saber default 1 and a cvar_rom then remove the lightsabercolor selection option that came with JK2 from the specific menu's. That's what i think should be adjusted in the next version
that 's done ....
thx for the idea ...
now in the tck menu the is a switch
Activate Custom Sabers on/off
when it s on the old saber selection's doesn't exist anymore and the rgb sliders show up ...
and when it s off the sliders and the colored box disepear and the old saber menu comes back...
but all the options aren't on the same page =
old raven selection = player page
my customs colrs = tck mod page ....
but it s much better now ....
i ll post this menu soon !
any other ideas ?
make it so that the RGB values lowest limit is 5 and not 0, since when its set to all zeros there is no glow anymore, this could be seen as cheating.
well actually the limit is one ...
and it *might* be considered as cheating ....
but if you want to have a cool saber like dark purple you will need to put the green at the lowest possible you know like 1 !
i know it won't really change the color but ....
and a 5 5 5 blade has almost no blade too....
And another thing that might be considered as cheating is for TEAM games.
coz you an still change your saber color's even in team ffa or capture the flag....
i may create a cvar to block it ....
and i added a server cvar : g_allowdoublesaber 1
that allows the server to allow the clients to have the double bladed saber without cheats enabled ...
it s a servercommand so the admin can control it ...
I will wait till after the newest version to add any new ideas. I wont be able to try that one out for a few hours.
Modifying saber colors in team games is NOT cheating. You can still see their clothes. Now modifying saber colors in team games to look like the other team is worth getting booted... but that's up to the host.
Best mod for JK2 so far. I just wish someone knew how to make it work for SP...
Actually i was talking about the saberglow
new version out ...
i don't know if you already downloaded it because it was available since 6 hours on my ftp but here it is :
new menu the old saber selection won't show up if the customs sabers are ON and the sliding bars won't if it's off...
and there is a new server command :
g_enabledoublesaber 1
that allows the players to have the double bladed saber without cheats....
update your source code 2 plz
well do you mean the source code for the cvar i included :
the g_enabledoublesaber ????
or the menu ??
cause the menu is just a .menu in the pk3 file....
and the code hasn't really changed since the last version ....
(except the game for the cvar )
well i ll do it in a few hours (not at home...)
yes, i mean the source not the menu files offcourse, thanx
Ok this would probably be hard to do, but here it is anway.
I think the way to make this be the best it can be, would to do something like this here. If I were able to code, and all what I would do would be to try to add in another saber selection. When one of the default ones are selected the mod would be off, like how you have it that it can be turned off now. But clicking on the sabers as usual and have one more thats just white would show that the mod is turned on. When its on you would click the saber mod words, and it woudl bring up a menu just like configuring the force powers, and you would handle the sliders,a nd all there. Plus you could toss your name in the bottom corner of the window for that.:D That way it can all be throught the palyer options like it should be idealy.
I know it would probably be pretty hard to do, but I think that would be the best route to take.
Im fine with the way its done now, but I just think it could be better this way.
By the way awsome touch adding in the ability to use the destroyer.;)
allright i ve updated the source ....
and for you Darkhold X
it seems to be a lot of work for almost nothing...
isn't the menu in the setup good enought ???
i really worked hard on it and scripting these menus sucks big time!
And when you are in game and press ESC the player menu don't show up by itself ...
you still have to click the PLAYER button so..
*instead of player click on setup*
no ???
and a last word i m going to modify theddestroyer code a bit so you won't have to have the saber holstered to make it work ...
I didnt say I didnt like it the way it is, I just think that the way I said would be a better way, but far from needed. It would just seem more natural mainly. Its fine now.:)
And I have a key bound to automaticly switch the saber. It holsters it, and all. So you are able to do it while the saber is out. Dont know if it will help since its a console command. Its bind = "sv_saberswitch; wait 75; thedestroyer" Of coarse its set up to be bound to the = key there. the wait 75 is a variable, but if its set faster than that the code dosent work half the time. I have found that to work every time, at atleast that length.
i tried to change the saber code with the destroyer and it s not showing good ....
i wanted to light off the saber and then light it on again but
and i can't really delay (can't put wait in the code lol) so the animation looks crappy.
i ll leave it the way it is ....
another idea
i know it was hard to code the beging of it, but is there some way you could copy the code and make the core mod, instead of changing the outside color, alter the white core, would add allot more colors people could do that would look good.
Hmm can you release a second version that doesnt nerf any saber attacks or anything?
One that just has the saber color cycling please!!
If you won't, can someone provide me with a link to a different RGB saber mod? I'm pretty sure I've seen quite a few
what do you mean nerfed ?
it s just the 1.04 patch from raven and no i won't change it to defaults 1.02 damages and moves...
well you can try the JK2 mod by fan for fan...
he has implemented my code in his ..
i m not sure that this version has been released yet thought ...
and what do you mean color cycling ?
you can create a script for it ....
the cvar are
well if you don't know how to script then ....
When I use this mod (and a few others) and I do a backstab attack I can't spin during it and the damage is weakened..
I'm requesting a mod that just has the RGB.. Every mod I've ever used is doing this.. Raven hasn't released a 1.04 patch yet, either.
If I was going to color cycle with tck_saberred then I'd need to load in the mod, which nerfs the saber moves.
All I need is a way to do the RGB Saber colors
and they won't (release a new patch..)
because lucasarts doesn't want too !
so they made the changes in the code before releasing the sdk so everymod has the new patch!
If you read the other threads you would know that !
Oh, sorry! Thanks for the advice..
Well if you type these cmds:
It might do the same thing... But how do I enable them to work?
I assume it works the same way as your mod, when you turn the RGB on.
What becomes enabled when you select YES for the RGB colors?
If it works the same then it can be done without a mod..
All's we need is a way to enable the RGB..
I checked your menu files and when you select YES all's it enables is tck_saber 1.
If I enable tck_saber 1 and do the ui_saberred/green/blue, it doesn't work.. THat's exactly what the RGB portion of your mod does, but only with sliding bars..
Is it even possible to do it without sliding bars and/or a mod enabled?
Deoes this work in multiplayer games? will they beable to see the color even if they don't hav the mod?
no they won't
the server has to have it and loaded .
It s just as if you wanted to play counter-strike on an half life server.
Hey Tchouky, I replaced your glow pics today, using some default ones I altered. The glow looks alot better with it. If you want I can post either the pics, or just the pk3 with the altered pics in it already.
i ll be glad to test them...
send me the pk3 and/or pictures.
When can we expect to see an updated version of your great mod Tchouky and what will be added ??
I hope you are able to add the FFA bot challenge cvar so we don`t have to enable devmap code first !! :) :) :)
By the way Tchouky do YOU know if it is possible to add more than 5 emmotional attachment characters to a MP Bots .jkb file ?
I have posted a thread obout this subject but no one seems to be replying. If anyone knows if it is possible, i thought it might be you.
for the new version well not many things :
- slower when using the extended blade.
- saber locks outside of duels.
- bot duels cheat protection removed.
well i don't really have any other ideas so if you have any suggestions ....
for the attachement you need to change the code...
one line to change :
#define MAX_LOVED_ONES 4
I know you have a problem with the your new ui_ cvars (eg. You can alter ui_saberred and the other 5 which you don't want) just change the CVAR_ statment in your cvar registers to CVAR_ROM|CVAR_INTERNAL. Clients won't be able to change them but you can still set the cvars in the code.
I hope I helped! :)
If i download your source code and alter the ai_main.h file what do i do then ? do i just run the batch files you included ?? will this compile it ???
Emotional attachments? Surely not. :)
I haven't heard much about this bot thing. What's it about?

Warren Moon agrees with Rush Limbaugh on this much, at least. The progress of African-American quarterbacks in the NFL has been a media-driven issue.
"It's a story we didn't necessarily ask for," Moon said Thursday afternoon. "In a thousand interviews, we were asked about being black quarterbacks."
The screaming match that followed Limbaugh's ill-conceived September remarks about the Eagles' Donovan McNabb drowned out any more thoughtful discussion about this. Maybe that's possible now that things have calmed down.
…Just as it was important to note that Jackie Robinson was the first black man to play major-league baseball, it has been important to mark the milestones of African Americans in the signature position of quarterback. That's why Moon and a handful of others, including former Eagle Randall Cunningham, formed an organization called the Field Generals.
…Moon was joined by living links in the chain: Marlin Briscoe, the first black QB to start in the league during modern times; James Harris, the first to start a playoff game; Doug Williams, the first to start (and win) a Super Bowl; and Daunte Culpepper, one of the league's current stars.
Briscoe, now 59, is the perfect of example of why this story is worth telling and repeating. He is best remembered as a wide receiver, a position he played in Buffalo and for two Super Bowl championship teams in Miami, including the 1972 team that went 17-0.
But Briscoe was a quarterback at the University of Omaha. As a 14th-round draft pick of the Denver Broncos (then in the AFL), Briscoe signed his contract after getting one promise from coach Lou Saban.
—Phil Sheridan, The Philadelphia Inquirer "Black quarterbacks have long, controversial history in NFL"

Paul Malignaggi has gotten good reviews as an analyst for Showtime. I asked the Brooklyn-bred boxer, who is still licking his wounds from a split decision loss to Adrien Broner on June 22, still thinking in his mind what he might have done differently to sway the judge who gave it to Broner, 115-113, to switch gears and assess one particular fight coming up in the near future.
What will happen in the Manny Pacquiao-Brandon Rios faceoff, which sees Pacman ( pictured above, in Chris Farina-Top Rank photo) seeking to right his ship, get a much needed win while testing a chin that could be fatally compromised after being checked last December by Juan Manuel Marquez?
"For however long it lasts it should be a good fight," Malignaggi told me. "Both Pacquiao and Rios can knock each other out. Bam Bam can punch pretty hard."
I wondered if Rios and Malignaggi had ever sparred and the answer is no, for the record.
"I do worry a bit about Rios that guys that use their legs against him gets him a little out of his element," he continued. "But I expect an entire camp working on cutting the ring off, using good aggressive footwork, will pay off. Sometimes people think only a guy going backwards needs good footwork. But you need it going forward too. I expect at camp for Rios to get at that. He needs good footwork to come forward against a skilled guy like Manny. Manny goes in and out. Alvarado gave Rios problems with movement and Pacquiao will be a better mover than Alvarado. You don't want Pacquiao to dictate the pace of when he fights, you went to get at him during times when he's looking to rest after a combo, get on him, force the pace.
"A lot of times a boxer wants to choose when to rest, you take that option away, you make him uncomfortable, and when those doubts creep in anything is possible. Bam Bam needs to create those mental doubts in Pacquiao, if not early then midway through the fight."
And who wins the Nov. 23 clash between the 34-year-old Pacman, with the 54-5-2 record, and the 27-year-old Texas native who lives in California, and boasts a 31-1-1 mark?
"I lean a little bit towards Pacquiao," Malignaggi said. "If Pacquiao knocks Rios out I wouldn't be surprised. But I wouldn't be surprised if the fight ended in a knockout for either guy. They are both dynamite punchers who get hit.
Let's go with Pacman, a 55-45% edge to win."
I "go with Pacman," 100-0% edge to win." There will be no more [Hulkquez] hitting the lotto shot against Da Manny. Bam Bam is going to get cut up. He will not be "cutting off the ring." On his noggin and torso, Da Manny's shots will SING! SING! SING! Look that up on Bing. I will be in Macao with my cousins -- the twins -- Ging and Ming. I'm going to even sit my by girl pal Ling-Ling. And on this trip, I will not be able to use ding-a-ling! Hehehehehe!
If I could be the Roast in China, I would be single. Then with all da dames, damsels and dolls, I would be able to mingle. Holla!
I wouldn't be either, but I think Manny will stop him late. But Paulie makes a good point, Rios should def work on his footwork so is not a predictable straight forward moving target like majority of manny's opponents at welterweight. Regardless, I am excited for this fight
Rios doesn't have footwork for a reason. He cuts too much gains too much an is flat footed and heavy.
Cut the ring off?????
There will be no chasing PAC.
PAC will destroy rios, absolutely punish rios for 4 rounds until he is knocked out or stopped.
Don't be surprised of a first round knockdown and ko.
yup....if manny is anywhere near form bam bam will look deformed
I just spoke to Robert Garcia for an hour at fnf last Friday...I think to be honest it is going to be a war..I really can't call it but if PAC is near his old form it could be a quick night for bam bam
People fail to remember that Pacquiao is a SOLID boxer as well as puncher and brawler. He is patient, and can draw fights out to late stoppages
You know, Im not so sure of this fight! Manny supposedly stepped up his observance of his religion big time! Maybe it made him more placid! The knockout was a big one he absorbed not many come back from that! Before the Bradley fight Manny came out with a statement against gay marriage and he refused to retract his statements! He got a lot of heat about that! Add 2 and 2! It was a brave statement because no one else would do it!
this will be a massacre ,rios gets destroyed,made to order for a returning pac..
And Da Manny never "came out with a statement against gay marriage," thus he didn't need to "retract his statements" of anything.
It is a BIG MYTH that not many fighters come back from a devastating knockout. The truth is that the largest percentage of them do. Tons of fighters have done that jive. Some like Terry Norris and Bobby Chacon over and over again.
Fighters that were hypes, spoon-feeds and set-ups from the start are who you are hollering about B-Camp. Just peep at the heavies and you will clearly see: Louis, Walcott, Patterson, Johnson, Tyson, Lewis and Doc K all came back from kayos.
Talking heads and scribes and hating pundits are just selling you syet. Research, learn and know before you crow for yourself. Holla!
Agreed radam.
People act like a knock out leaves your brain dead.
I had a few helmet to helmet concussions in football and came back strong as ever. A week later.
How many pro football players have a concussion here or there and come back and make the pro bowl each year?!
Talk your sh... Radam! The only Kayo worse than Manny's I saw was what he did to Hatton! And murder she wrote! The main issue here, and don't side swipe it! Is Manny got robbed ridiculously after his opinion on Gay Marriage with Bradley! Nobody even acknowledged what he said for FEAR of retaliation! Manny Pacman Pacquiao! The Champ is in the house! Check the Archives Friscoe!
Hehehe! B-Camp, you are a comical man. Nuff said! Holla!
manny got knocked out cold earlier in his career against a thai boxer i believe ...he was getting the best of that guy also and got caught ...came back from that pretty well don't you think?
And Radam, I bet youd lie through your teeth telling the Pope you got abducted by Aliens! And youd give out biographical promos of yourself to any frisco that would take one!
Hehehehe! I couldn't stand myself for being a sinner. Some Alien dames, damsels and dolls abducted me. They did all types of sexual things to me, and I enjoyed every minute of that Friscoa alien behavior. On, YUP! I told the Pope how the green ones had it going on. And those blues and orange ones loved me long time. Hahaha!
I'm waiting for their hot bytches mothership to holla at me again. Hehe! Holla!
The most disturbing thing about PAC is how Marquez was able to put Pac flat on his back during the f I r s t knockdown of their last fight. I've never seen PAC get tipped over by a punch high on the forehead like that.
Rio will enter the fight almost as heavy as Shane Mosely. Even at lightweight Rios rehydrated to 155lbs.
I can't see Rios' footwork improving because he never really had any to begin with..Rio just strolls toward his opponent. PAC will be happy to engage but really doesn't do a lot of fighting on the inside ... at least not the head-buried-in-the-chest kind.... but at some point Rios will force him to....then we'll see what PAC is made of. Neither fighter can afford to lose...but I have too many questions about PAC to make a prediction .
The difference between Pacquiao's recent knock out loss and some others, is that Pacquiao was out cold for a few minutes, it was worse than Hatton's knockout. Fatton flat on his back but he had some blinking in his eyes. Yes other great fighters have suffered knockouts and come back stronger, but this was a much more severe knockout. Hopefully he recovers, the time out of the ring should help. I still think he'll beat down Rios but it might not be as easy as people think. But I wouldn't be surprised if Rios wins either
I wasn't too suprised when the sun arose today.
Rios is a nothing but a smaller margacheato ez fight for Pac.
Rios is a chooch and will be stopped by Pacman in the middle rounds.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

It must be giveaway season here at ENS, it seems like I have had quite a few in recent months, and this one just might be the best one yet. If for some reason you are not familiar with The Clash and Joe Strummer, stop now and close this site, and don't come back until you have at least listened to London Calling.
Ok, now that those folks left, we can talk about the giveaway. To get the facts about the upcoming giveaway, lets hear it straight from the PR mouth, shall we? (trailer video after the jump as well)
The ongoing 30th anniversary salute to the Clash etches a new peak with the long-awaited DVD release of JOE STRUMMER: THE FUTURE IS UNWRITTEN, a film by Julien Temple, which will arrive in stores July 8th on Legacy Recordings, a division of SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT.
The intimate biographical portrait of Clash frontman, vocalist, rhythm guitarist, and primal lyricist Joe Strummer (b. Aug. 21, 1952 – d. Dec. 22, 2002) underscores his passion for the music, and his instincts as a committed social and political activist. His body of work, alongside his partners in the Clash, led the band to be inscribed in rock history as "the only band that mattered†then – and the only band that really matters now.
Filmmaker Temple's 30-year association with John Graham Mellor aka Joe Strummer resounds throughout the course of the film, as the Clash City Rocker's life and times and influences unfold. THE FUTURE IS UNWRITTEN – with narration throughout by Strummer from his BBC radio show – is a major musical event in its own right, featuring some 65 songs heard in full or in part.
Want to win a DVD? How about a DVD and the film soundtrack? Well, one lucky winner will win both if you enter this contest. Just send an email to ens contests at gmail dot com and include Strummer DVD in the subject line. This is a very cool prize, so good luck!
Contest has ended, thanks to those that entered….

Hello ! Today we are learning to dress for a very special occasion: a trip to the zoo. The zoo has a different meaning for everyone, weather it be a dreadfully boring experience staring blankly at a couple of giraffes hoping to be entertained by their leaf-munching, or a fantastic immersion into the world of exotic animals (a.k.a feeding goats with tiny pieces of brown crap), putting together a zoo-appropriate outfit might make your outing a bit more BEARable (me pointing out my pun is a desperate call for recognition, I concede)
So for this outfit you will need a couple of leopard garments.Don't be afraid to cross the matchy-matchy line, it's the zoo after all. Just be warned that you may get asked on a date by a leopard, in this case, please do not freak out, they have great table manners.
I'm wearing a vintage jacket, Gap sweater, Urban Outfitters skirt and Senso shoes

After appealing his original 10 game suspension as a result of his actions towards an official in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Final, the NHL has announced today that they have revised Daniel Carcillo's suspension to six games, making him eligible to play in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final with the New York Rangers.
The Rangers' forward was originally handed a hefty suspension under Rule 40.3 which carries a minimum suspension of "not less than ten (10) games" for deliberately applying physical force to an official. Under further review, the league has decided the crime committed by Carcillo fits better under Rule 40.4 for "physical force to an official for the sole purpose of getting free of such official during or immediately following an altercation."
Carcillo served three games of his original suspension following the incident and will miss the next three against the Los Angeles Kings, beginning tomorrow night at Staples Center when the Kings host the Rangers in the opening game of the 2014 Stanley Cup Final. With the amendment, he can now return to the Rangers lineup on Wednesday June 11.
In eight games this postseason, the 29-year-old winger has two goals and team-high 22 penalty minutes including the 12 minutes he registered in 1:45 minutes of ice time on May 22 when he was accused of getting physical.

Cats – predictors of earthquakes
Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions do not freak minute, and some powerful planetary processes. Deep processes are slow. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, especially strong, preparing for a long time: over the years, thousands of years. Long-term accumulation of enormous amounts of tectonic energy can not pass without leaving a trace – there is no doubt that earthquakes, volcanic somehow notify people about their occurrence in many different signals. Perhaps we are only a small part of them know and just do not know how to listen to the warnings of our planet.
Another question arises: Can not be that accurate and reliable predictors of underground storm are at hand, and we do not know them, do not try to find, examine and bring in help?
Residents of the densely populated seismically active regions, probably the first to pay attention to the restless behavior of some animals before earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Currently, there are about 70 species of animals that have proven themselves as forecasters earthquakes, volcanic hazards, which we may call the "live seismographs."
Common, even a shallow analysis of all collected data allows to distinguish two main types of behavioral responses of animals to the approaching earthquake or volcanic eruption brewing: the first – to change the overall emotional reactivity animal is not accompanied by purposeful behavior. It is noted the occurrence of uncertain anxiety, anxiety, reflected in increased motor activity, rising hair on end, shivering, BoE, etc. As a rule, such a diffuse anxiety occurs during earthquakes, or the relatively small magnitude, or in areas far from the epicenter, sludge is pretty big time before seismic activity. The second type of behavioral responses associated with the occurrence of goal-directed behavior. In most cases, this behavior has all the hallmarks of reactions that occur when a hazard. Thus, many domestic animals have a flight out of the premises, wild animals leave the burrows and migrate from areas of future earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Sensitive to the approach of many of the animals underground thunderstorms. Next, let's talk only about the reaction of the representatives of the cat tribe. In anticipation of these earthquakes are usually calm, sometimes even seemingly lazy, graceful animals dramatically transformed. Some, such as it has been repeatedly observed in a state of great excitement become violent: haphazardly rushing through the rooms, claws scratching the door, trying to escape from the house. Others, ruffled fur, cowardly shaking, loud meow. Third, if they have kittens tend to carry them to another place, hiding with sons in different nooks and crannies. Fourth, probably the most sensitive to signals impending seismic events, silently leave their place of residence a few days before the cataclysm and returned to their owners only when the aftershocks are.
Anomalous behavior of cats were reported by some residents of Ashgabat earthquake before 5 October 1948.
The famous paroxysm Pelée in 1902. In mid-April 1902 summit of the volcano Mount Pelée Martinique began to smoke heavily. And this is after 50 years of restful sleep. April 23 at the town of Saint-Pierre dropped a small ash rain, and on May 6 stoop tens of thousands of cubic meters of hot ash. May 8 side of the volcano, facing the town of Saint-Pierre, opened. She pulled away from the scorching huge black cloud and roaring rushed down the hill. After a few seconds of Saint-Pierre disappeared under a huge blanket. All the inhabitants of the city were killed in less than a minute. So, the cat broke up with their hosts in advance, without waiting to explode Pelée. There is no doubt that the reasons that led the feline tribe to flee, were very, very significant. Only a sense of anxiety, overwhelming fear could cause cats to overcome their innate, very strong attachment to the habitats and run away from them without looking back.
Likewise did the cat who lived in Vestmannaeyjar in 1973 before the eruption Helgafeldlya (Iceland). They are together, one day before the eruption of the volcano, left the city. "If the volcano to think again" talk "- joke now reborn from the ashes of the residents Vestmannaeyjar – us in advance warn our cats."
But very recent history. One admirer of cats to learn about this article, told me the following.
"I live in Irkutsk. This is an earthquake-prone area. In 1998, my cat behaved very strangely before an earthquake. Was hiding under the bed, meowed loudly, ran over all, as a ponytail. Afraid … and soon began pushing. Strashnovatenko was"
Thus, the person probably is accurate forecasters, or oracles of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, as in the person of the only cats and all animals in general. The only question is how much a person is able to understand their predictions.

When Should You Consider Collaborative Divorce?
By its nature, divorce is an adversarial process. But what happens when a couple wants to end their marriage without behaving like adversaries? In recent years, divorcing couples have started turning to a process known as collaborative divorce.
What Is Collaborative Divorce?
According to the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals:
"Collaborative Divorce, is a new way for you to resolve disputes respectfully -- without going to court -- while working with trained professionals who are important to all areas of your life. The heart of Collaborative Practice or Collaborative Divorce (also called "no-court divorce," "divorce with dignity," "peaceful divorce") is to offer you and your spouse or partner the support, protection, and guidance of your own lawyers without going to court. Additionally, Collaborative Divorce allows you the benefit of child and financial specialists, divorce coaches and other professionals all working together on your team."
When Is Collaborative Divorce Appropriate?
First things first: Collaborative divorce is not for everyone. It requires divorcing couples to trust one another and work toward a mutually desirable goal. You shouldn't consider a collaborative divorce if:
- You're divorcing a spouse who has gone missing or is incarcerated
- You suspect your spouse of hiding assets
- You and your spouse have difficulty communicating directly with one another
- There has been physical or mental abuse in your relationship
- Your spouse has a tendency to bully or intimidate you
On the flip side, collaborative divorce is appropriate if:
- You and your spouse both agree that you need to get divorced
- You and your spouse have children together and plan to remain part of one another's lives as your children grow up
- You and your spouse respect one another
- You and your spouse want each other to be treated fairly
- You and your spouse can behave ethically toward one another

Boca Juniors look to be in the market for a big name, although with fans of the Xeneize they would much rather see Juan Román Riquelme renewed. Reports in Argentina surfaced on Friday saying that Uruguayan international Diego Forlán was in the team's radar. Some are talking about a reunion for Juan Román Riquelme and Forlán dating back to their days at Spanish side Villarreal. Until this day, both players have a great relationship.
Despite the names of various players being mentioned by the club's board the one that has been repeated is the current Cerezo Osaka forward. The player's agent, Daniel Bolotnikoff (same agent Riquelme), reportedly already met with some Boca board members and would like to look at the possibility of Forlán coming back to Argentina to play after a 13-year absence.
The move would see Forlán returning way before time as he currently finds himself serving an 18-month contract with the Japanese side. Part of that contract is paid by the Japanese government as he was brought in to be the face of the club as well as the J-League for the international audience.
Yet according to these same reports, Forlán is looking to return to South American to "compete at a high level" after only three months in Japan. Could we see the 2010 Golden Ball back in South American football?

Syracuse 5 Lehigh Valley 3
• Cole (W, 7-0) 5IP, 4H, 3R, 3ER, 3BB, 8K, HR
• Grace (H, 7) 2IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• Martin (SV, 9) 2IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 3K
• Rhymes 2-3, R, 2B, BB, RBI
• Laird 2-4, BB, RBI
• E. Perez 2-4, R, BB
The Syracuse Chiefs earned a tough, professional 5-3 team win over the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. Their 2nd-inning two-run rally set the tone. A one-out single by Eury Perez, a Destin Hood single advancing Perez to third, a sacrifice fly by Jhonatan "Onion" Solano, and a Will Rhymes RBI double led to a 2-0 lead that Syracuse would hold for the rest of the night. In the 3rd, Syracuse added runs by Michael Taylor and Tyler Moore while hitting four singles and recording a walk to take a 4-0 lead. In the 4th, Lehigh Valley scored three runs highlighted by Philadelphia hot prospect Mikael Franco's two-run homer off starter and winner A.J. Cole. After starter and loser Brad Lincoln departed, Emmanuel "Manny" Burriss hit an RBI single to capitalize on an earlier throwing error by new pitcher Hector Neris. Rafael Martin tossed a dominant two innings, striking out three on a total of 27 pitches, to record his ninth save and lower his ERA to a tidy 0.88.
New Hampshire 9 Harrisburg 7 (12 inn.) — GAME ONE (COMP.)
• Espino 6IP, 10H, 4R, 4ER, BB, 4K
• Herron 2IP, 1H, 0R, BB, K
• Self (L, 1-3) 1IP, 4H, 3R, 3ER, 0BB, 0K, HR
• Vettleson 2-3, R
• Skole 3-6, 3-2B, 3RBI
• Keyes 2-6, R, HR, RBI
The Harrisburg Senators' pitching staff waited until the 12th inning to blow the game in a 9-7 loss to the New Hampshire Fisher Cats. Most of this game was played on July 27th, but rain defeated both teams efforts to complete a getaway game from Harrisburg in the 12th inning with one out. On July 27th Harrisburg was a competitive team that fought back in the ninth inning to tie the game at 6-6 on Matt Skole's game tying 25th double in front of his home fans. Skole's attempt at a walk off run on a Kevin Keyes single was thwarted by an outfield assist from left fielder Mike Newman to nab Skole at home plate. On Aug 25th. Richard Bleier took the pitcher's rubber in New Hampshire with a two-run lead, struck out Caleb Ramsey, and casually tossed a grounder from Drew Vettleson to first base to quickly record his first save for New Hampshire's "road" win.
Harrisburg 5 New Hampshire 3 — GAME TWO
• Rivero (W, 2-6) 6IP, 3H, 0R, 0BB, 5K, HBP
• Herron (SV, 6) 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 0K
• Skole 3-4, 3R, BB, HR, 3RBI
• Martinson 2-4
• Vettleson 2-4, 2B
New Hampshire temporarily stalled the Harrisburg Senators dubious march toward history by coughing up four unearned runs in its 5-3 loss. The Senators' win ended an eleven-game losing streak (12 if you count the suspended "Game 1" loss). Harrisburg took a 5-0 lead on Matt Skole's two-out, three-run homer, but all three runs were unearned due to the throwing error that allowed Adrian Sanchez to reach base. Harrisburg winner Felipe Rivero provided the quality start Harrisburg desperately needed. Gustavo Pierre reached second base on a leadoff double to start the 6th, but after Rivero plunked Jorge Flores, a double play and a strikeout quickly erased the only real danger Rivero faced in six clean innings of work. Up 5-0 to start the seventh, Derek Self gave up a double to Andy Burns and Matt Skole committed an error while Mr. Burns crossed home plate. Self then gave up a two-run homer to Michael Crouse. Tyler Herron pitched a scoreless ninth to end Harrisburg's efforts to give the game away and record his sixth save, the first for Harrisburg since Herron last managed the feat on August 13th.
Roster moves: RHPs Omar Poveda, Sam Runion reassigned from Syracuse (Blake Treinen, Aaron Barrett due off the DL today).
Frederick 6 Potomac 0
• Rauh (L, 2-3) 5⅔ IP, 9H, 6R, 5ER, 2BB, K, WP
• Encarnacion 3⅓ IP, 2H, 0R, 0BB, 5K, 2-0 IR-S
• Miller 1-3
• Renda 1-4
Potomac closed out its home schedule with a 6-0 loss that wasn't even that close. Officially, the wind was listed at 2 mph from RF to LF, but thanks to Parker Bridwell's changeup, there was also some breeze from home plate as the P-Nats bats fanned 15 times. Bridwell was perfect through six and a 1/3rd innings before Tony Renda singled to right to break it up. The loss was charged to Brian Rauh for giving up all six Keys runs on nine hits and two walks over five and 2/3rds innings. Pedro Encarnacion stranded two to close out the 6th and finished the game for three and a 1/3rd scoreless innings of relief. Wilmington and Lynchburg both lost to ease Potomac one step closer to a double-half win. The P-Nats travel to the 95 Toll Plaza state to take on the Blue Rocks for four games beginning tonight.
Hagerstown — OFF DAY
Barring a 2011-Barves/BoSox collapse, the Suns will make the 2014 Sally League Northern Division playoffs. Unlike the Carolina League, there is no reward for a double-half win in the Sally League, so it's semantics and aesthetics from here on out for Greensboro and Hagerstown. The final '14 Suns regular-season road trip is to the bandbox on the mountainside that is McCormick field to play the Tourists before closing out the home schedule with four games from Friday to Monday against the Blue Claws.
Auburn 5 Jamestown 4 (9 inn.) — GAME ONE
• McDowell 4IP, 4H, R, ER, 0BB, 3K
• Sanchez (W, 6-1) 1⅓ IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 0K, 2-0 IR-S
• Williamson 3-5, R
• Abreu 3-5, R, SB
• Marmolejos-Diaz 2-4, SF, RBI
Auburn rallied in the 7th to send Game One to "extras," where "Orange" Marmolejos-Diaz squeezed a flyball deep enough to score Clay Williamson for the game-winning sac fly in the 9th. The 9-1-2 combo of Williamson, Osvaldo Abreu, and Marmolejos-Diaz combined for eight of the 12 Doubledays hits, with Williamson and Abreu both singling in the 9th. Mario Sanchez, who stranded a pair of runners with two out in the 8th, got his team-leading sixth win while retiring all four batters he faced in relief.
Auburn 2 Jamestown 1 — GAME TWO
• Reyes 5IP, 5H, R, ER, 2BB, 2K
• Mapes (W, 1-1) 2IP, 2H, 0R, 2BB, 2K
• Mejia 1-4, 2R
• Marmolejos-Diaz 2-3, 2-2B, BB
Pitching carried the Doubledays in Game Two while poor defense lost it for the Jammers, 2-1. Bryan Mejia got on with a two-base throwing error, took third on a passed ball, and scored the second Auburn run on another Jamestown error. The yakety-sax defense made a winner out of Tyler Mapes, who worked around two hits and two walks in his two innings of relief to get the "W." Luis Reyes returned from the GCL to start and turned in five innings with one run let in on five hits and two walks.
GCL Marlins 4 GCL Nationals 3
• Costa (L, 0-2) 2IP, 0H, 1R, 0ER, 0BB, K, WP
• Morales 5IP, 8H, 3R, 3ER, BB, 2K
• Keniry 1-3, R, 2B, BB, RBI
• G. Ramirez 1-4, 3B, 2RBI
The G-Nats tumbled to their seventh straight defeat by a 4-3 count to the G-Marlins. John Costa made it out of the 1st and through the 2nd in his second appearance, but was charged with his second loss for letting in the first run of the game on an error, wild pitch, and an RBI groundout. The G-Nats (s)lumber awoke in the 7th with an RBI double by Connor Keniry and a two-run triple by Gilberto Ramirez in the 7th, but were held to just five hits and four walks total.
7 Responses to "Tuesday's News & Notes"
With the Chiefs now almost certain to make the Governor's Cup playoffs, interesting question emerges of how many of them the Nats might call up on September 1. I suggested on another board that all or most of them would be left in Syracuse for the postseason (which could last a while if the Chiefs win the Cup and so end up playing in the AAA Championship Game against the PCL champion on September 16) and got hooted down by several people. Most folks (at least in DC) would likely feel the needs of the big club come first, but if the Nats call up, say, Taylor, Trienen, Cole, Martin, and Grace and maybe others, and the Chiefs end up losing the first round, it won't do much for affiliate relations.
Cole, Martin and Grace are not on the 40 man roster, and there is no one on the current 40 man roster that looks like a candidate for the 60 day DL (Scheirholtz took the last spot when the Nats put McLouth on the 60 day DL); so, I don't see the Nats adding anyone from the current Cuse roster to the 40 man roster absent a major injury; so, Cole, Martin and Grace will not get the call (barring injury) at any time.
That limits those on the Cuse roster with a chance to be called up to Taylor, Treinen, Barrett, Hill, Cedeno, Leon, Solano, Moore and Perez. Of that group, it's a lock that the Nats call up either Barrett or Treinen (maybe both) if they are healthy, and one of the catchers, probably Leon, on September 1. Also, Souza will likely be activated off the DL and join the Nats. Even though the bench is right-handed heavy, I also don't think that the Nats wait to call up Tyler Moore as there is no current back-up first baseman on the roster. That is probably the extent of the call-ups until Cuse's playoff run ends.
When the playoff run ends, I would guess that they will call up Taylor to pinch-run, and play defense, and Cedeno to add another situational lefty, but I don't see more than that coming up.
The Nats' rationale for limiting the additions to the roster has nothing to do with affiliate relations, but is likely driven by the fact that there is no current need for other eligible players to join the team. Naturally, this could change if the Nats play a 16 inning game on August 31 or a current Nat gets banged up. In the consideration of priorities, servicing the MLB roster to ensure the Nats have the best chance to win dominates over ever other concern, particularly the playoff prospects for AAA Syracuse.
I think Jeff Kobernus is also a candidate for a call-up. My guess is that one of Kobernus, Taylor & Eury get a call-up on Sept 1 to give the Nats an extra pinch running option (my guess would actually be Kobernus), and at least one of the other two would come up after the Chiefs playoffs.
I'd add that there are still candidates for potential replacements Rafael Martin and Matt Grace. Two guys who I deem might just help the Nats more than the Bear and Cedeno. Both of these relievers are multi-inning types and aren't limited to 1 and done as apparently are Cedeno and Barrett. Both have put on very strong performances in the 2nd half for Syracuse.
One candidate for DFA or the DL might be Ryan Mattheus? But, yes, this does seem unlikely? Another possible candidate might be Jhonotan Solano? He's pushing 30 and it seems like he might never see the active roster again? Have they already attempt revocable waivers on these two and what was the result? Other possibilities for the 60-day DL might be Rivero and Solis although both are apparently back and trying to work themselves back into baseball shape in the minors?
Its really hard to say though so … this is a lot of speculation.
Even though Harrisburg is abysmal, Felipe Rivero has showing something lately. He has not been scored upon in his last two starts, striking out 11 and walking only 2. In fact, Rivero has only been scored on once since he returned from the DL in July. That's six out of seven scoreless appearances. Looks like he is justifying the 40 man roster spot that the Nats have held for him all year.
Stating pitching should be excellent next season with Giolito, Rivero, Voth, Reynaldo Lopez, probably Solis again. Beyond that I'm not sure whether they'll be improved much?
friends can someone please tell me what happened to Chris Manno I see released next to his name on his profile. I watched him in Harrisburg and he was lights out and am from Hagerstown where he was by far the most effective pitcher on the staff.
I can not believe the Nats released him

Playboy Arrives on iPad, Cut and Covered
Wednesday, August 11, 2010
Following the model of limited content and no nudity it initiated months ago with its iPhone app, Playboy projects the same approach larger on the iPad. The $4.99 Playboy HD downloadable digital version of the magazine for Apple's Tablet gives you much but not all of the current August issue in a format customized for iPad swiping. Those who always read the magazine 'just for the articles' may be enthused (albeit put off by the price point), but anyone looking for gatefolds and skin will be grousing about it in the iTunes review section.
The app was developed by Jump Games and turns the major features in the issue into a set of oversized thumbnails. Front matter like After Hours and Mantrack product overviews are here, as is the monthly Playboy Interview, 20 Questions and the larger journalistic features. To be sure, Playboy has put in almost all of the issue, but it leaves out most of the pictorials and cartoons as well as anything more than attractive headshots of its Playmate of the Month. All this for the same price as the hard copy issue.
Most of the articles look good enough and are converted to vertical scrolls of the major sections. The World of Playboy feature is rendered with large images of the usual Playmates and overjoyed young male celebs with their kid-in-a-candy-store grins. There is very little interactivity, however. The stories don't link to any dynamic digital content. We heard a rumor there was a video in here, and after a lot of digging we found one 30-second clip of the month's playmate being interviewed. Really?
Playboy's situation is not to be envied in the App Store. Apple itself seems to be banning nudity, so the publisher has to come up with something that appears to deliverer value without delivering the 'goods' as many readers define it. The result is almost a full issue at a premium price. The problem for Playboy is that the missing pieces are so obvious because they are so well known.
Given the amount of video assets, lush imagery, musical history, cartooning and legacy at its disposal, there has to be a great Playboy app waiting to be made. Our guess is that Playboy even could get away with a non-nude version to satisfy Apple's prudish ways. But they would need to over-deliver their other strengths – which are there but not on show in this app.

« Houston in 7 | Main | Just Watch »
October 31, 2005
And Now What?
We're talking about the departure of Paul DePodesta today on TOTC. It was less than a month ago that we had the (now former) Dodger General Manager in studio. (And by the way, I owe my producers a lunch for landing the interview!)
Personally, I'd welcome the return of the scrappy, loveable Bobby Valentine to the Dodgers. I've always been a big fan of him on the field and in the dugout. And had the Dodgers not traded him to the Angels, he never would have caught his spikes in that awful fence and broken his leg in a hundred ways and ended his playing career. So coming back to the team closes the circle.

College Hockey:Guptill's penalty shot goal lifts Michigan over Boston University
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Boston University sophomore goaltender Matt O'Connor was the story of this game for two periods tonight. Through the first 40 minutes of play, O'Connor was flawless, stopping 30 shots and shutting down through four penalty kills a Michigan power play that was converting at over 37 percent coming into tonight's contest.
In the third period though, the Wolverines' power play wrote a different ending to this game's story with freshman Tyler Motte's fourth goal of the season at 7:16 and sophomore Alex Guptill's penalty successful penalty shot at 8:46. O'Connor made 42 saves in the game, but the Wolverines won 2-1.
"They scored two goals on penalties," said Boston University coach David Quinn. "It's been a problem for us all year long — for a long time — and it's just got to get out of our game. If we're going to have success, we can't keep taking penalties.
"Three penalties in the first nine minutes and it really sets the tone. I thought we were on our heels the whole first period. The last three minutes [of the first period], we actually rebounded and scored a goal, but you can't play well three minutes in a period and expect to win hockey games. It's not going to happen. We just have to do a better job with penalties. It's unacceptable."
The Terriers scored on their fifth shot on goal of the game at 18:25 in the first on freshman Robbie Baillargeon's shot from the right circle and held that 1-0 lead through two periods. Even with the lopsided shots on goal total, both the Wolverines and the Terriers had quality shots through two periods and the game never felt like an early season contest.
"There weren't a lot of mistakes in the game," said Michigan coach Red Berenson. "There were very few blatant turnovers or blatant bad plays. This was a well-played, hard-played game between two teams. We might have had the momentum and we should've; we're at home and we've got to get on a run and we have a lot of respect for their program."
The Wolverines tied the game on Motte's goal, a one-timer from the right circle that finished a cross-crease pass from senior defenseman Mac Bennett. On his penalty shot, Guptill took a slow approach but put a fast shot through O'Connor's five-hole for the eventual game-winner.
Freshman Zach Nagelvoort made 18 saves in his second start and second win. Nagelvoort got the chance to start last weekend when sophomore Steve Racine was injured in the third period of Michigan's 1-1 road tie against New Hampshire Oct. 18.
"I liked our goalie," said Berenson. "I really liked our goalie and this is his first home start. A lot of pressure on him for a lot of reasons. He's a local mission kid and his grandparents live here. He's always wanted to come to Michigan. Now's his chance to start at home, and I thought he looked solid." Berenson said that Nagelvoort will start against visiting Massachusetts-Lowell Saturday night.
Quinn said that the decision to play O'Connor came today.
"He's a really good goalie," said Quinn. The sophomore has been splitting time in net with classmate Sean Maguire. "They both have had great weeks in practice. It was just a hunch, really. I don't make that decision on my own, so I'm not going to take credit for it."
Quinn wasn't sure who would start in the BU net Saturday when the Terriers travel to East Lansing to face Michigan State.

At my company we have an SQL Server 2005 install on the c: drive of a virtual machine. All the actual database files live on a separate (virtual) data drive, E:. The c: drive is tiny and has about a gig and a half of disk space left, while E: is enormous.
I have a database, stored on E:, which I'm trying to restore from a backup, also stored on E:. But when I try, SQL Server tells me that
There is insufficient free space on disk volume 'C:\' to create the database. The database requires 3804626944 additional free bytes, while only 1791596544 bytes are available.
...which is true, as far as it goes: C: really does have that much space left. But why would that matter? The .bak file, the .mdf and .LDF, they're all on E:!
How can I convince SQL Server 2005 to create its temporary files, or whatever it thinks it needs all that disk space for, on E: where there's plenty of room?
