Posted by ESPN.com's Heather Dinich
Morning, guys.
Since I had to get up early and have a long drive to Virginia Tech today, there wasn't enough time to read the papers. So I'm improvising, starting with a Hokie fan who is quite familiar with the depth chart:
Matt, in Charlotte, N.C. writes: regarding comment that Va Tech is ranked too high in preseason coaches poll - I totally disagree. I was pleasantly suprised with the ranking and agree with it immensly. I was afraid they would be ranked too low based on the projections I was reading and disagree with. Va Tech is a perenial top 20 program and doesn't rebuild, they reload. The players that step up for the Hokies this year are ready to be the next stars for Va Tech and will prove the nay sayers wrong. Players like Jason Worilds, Stephen Virgil, Dorian Porch, Blake DeChristopher, Purnell Sturdivant, Brett Warren, Cordarrow Thompson, John Graves, Dyrell Roberts, Marcus Davis, Darren Evans, and Ryan Williams will all be names the ACC comes to know well and fear. Anything less than 10 wins from this team (or any other Va Tech team) has to be viewed as a disappointment. They are BCS bowl contenders year in and year out and I fully expect then to challenge for the ACC title again. Now, if we can just figure out how to win our bowl once we get there...
Heather Dinich: Matt, I get where you're coming from, I really do. That's why I picked the Hokies to win the Coastal Division. I just think from a national perspective, there are teams out there with less questions who deserve to be above them. Will Virginia Tech work its way up the polls this season? I have no doubt they're still capable of winning 10 games.
Steve, in Roanoke, writes: Great job Heather! Blogging on a Saturday morn is impressive. Any news on VT's RB situation w/ all the injuries? Thanks!
Heather Dinich: Steve, thanks for noticing, man. The latest is that Jahre Cheeseman and Kenny Lewis Jr. will be ready to go Monday. That should lessen some of the concern at this position, but as Matt pointed out, the coaches are also excited to see what freshman Ryan Williams can do this summer.
Jeff, a Hokie in Denver, writes: Heather, I realize the losses the Hokies have had at the skill positions but am curious as to whether you think Brian Stinespring will be on the hotseat regardless if the offense fails to produce this season? Thanks for the awesome reporting - your blog is great! Jeff
Heather Dinich: I haven't heard any rumblings about that, but this isn't the first question I've received about Bryan Stinespring. I think he made some critical calls last year that played a HUGE role in the Hokies winning the ACC title, and that Frank Beamer prides himself on staff stability. I'd be surprised if anything happened to Stinespring. If the offense fails to produce, that might have something to do with the fact the Hokies lost all four receivers and their leading rusher.
This one comes from Naples, Italy: How about covering the Terps.
Heather Dinich: Been there, done that. Still do. Check back later today for three questions facing Maryland this season.
Speaking of the Terps (since this is their first day of practice, too), Alex in Ramsey, N.J. writes: Great writing Heather, Real quick will heyward-bey be seeing alot more passes this year considering the new system and ? at running back or will we be seeing another great receiver not getting the damn ball.
Heather Dinich: James Franklin would love to throw more deep balls this season. Why didn't they do it more last year? Well, in part because of the play calling and in part because Darrius Heward-Bey is still developing as a receiver. Remember, he was a track star first. No doubt the receiver position is Maryland's strength. Check back later this week for an interview I had with first-year receivers' coach Lee Hull.

By Jayne Hatton, Fort Sam Houston Independent School DistrictApril 22, 2010
FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas -- Sixth-grade students from Robert G. Cole Middle School celebrated the 40th anniversary of Earth Day April 14 with the planting of two drought-resistant Redbud trees.
Sixth-grade reading teacher Mary Borden formed the Cole Middle School Recycle Club at the interest of students. During club meetings, students generate ideas, and discuss and agree on recycling and Earth Day activities.
"As the Environmental Management System Program Manager, Kristen Lynch has been instrumental in the celebration of Earth Day at the Cole Middle School campus," said Borden, the Recycle Club coordinator. "She also gave the students new ideas and suggestions for recycling and conservation."
"We are excited to partner with the school district and look forward to future opportunities where we focus on recycling and Earth Day initiatives," Lynch said of the event.
Fort Sam Houston Garrison Commander Col. Mary Garr spoke to the students as the trees were planted near the front entrance to the middle school building. A stone commemorates the 2010 Earth Day event and serves as a reminder for students to make decisions that benefit everyone on our planet. Garr spoke to students about making a difference in their community and shared how the idea of one man 40 years ago resulted in the creation of Earth Day.
"Each student has the ability and responsibility to protect and conserve our environment," said Dr. Gail Siller, FSHISD superintendent. "Our students have shown their local commitment to their global community and we look forward to supporting their future efforts."
Madelyn Bishop from the Cole Recycle Club also spoke about encouraging environmental awareness.
Members of the Recycle Club are: Connor Barr, Tiara Beverly, Madelyn Bishop, Tae Gallegos, Steven Lamoureux, Olivia Lougee, Kristine Lovrien, Chase Miller, Dani Riedlova, Mariah Rogers, Mercy Sherbourne and Kina Wong.
"We want to recycle items and do things for our community," Riedlova said. "Mr. Thomas P. Gayer-Brindisi from the Fort Sam Houston Qualified Recycling Program helped us with paper bins and battery containers. We really appreciate his help in cleaning up our environment."
The FHISD would also like to thank the following people who helped to make the event possible: the DPW Environmental Staff; Michael J. Grizer, DPW Director; James H. Graham, Chief, DPW Environmental Division; the DPW Roads and Grounds Crew and Cole Middle School Administration.

Music isn't as easily serialized (insert Schoenberg joke here) as is a television drama. In other words, TV has an overall plot arc that can leave the viewer expecting and wanting more while still resolving smaller plots pertinent to a single episode, whereas stopping a track/piece/song/whatever right before an important point will likely just leave the listener confused. Obviously this doesn't necessarily hold for dramatized forms like opera and musical theater, which could easily follow a more TV-like model. I'm not sure how a subscription model would work with an art-form that isn't easily serialized.
Music is also not really consumed in the same way as TV. Music is often listened to repeatedly, with favorite parts of a work (track off an album, movement of a symphony, etc.) being extracted from the whole and listened to individually. Not that this doesn't happen with TV, but one can really only watch a scene from 'Breaking Bad' for the first time once. Repeated viewings can certainly bring out things you may have missed, but overall character motivations and plot twists aren't going to change. Listening to the same piece of music several times, however, is often necessary to fully comprehend the piece and can often create a deeper understanding and enjoyment of the piece. Again, I'm not sure how that would fit into a subscription model.
For someone whos handful of fans believe she's an intellect this is egg on her face.
Not buying what you're selling.
Essentially, the original question isn't even asking for an answer to a mathematics problem - it's asking the student to critique the application of a process. The parent doesn't even bother to actually read and understand the assignment before launching into their critique - which is a great lesson to be teaching their kid. It seems to me that teaching students to analyze an algorithm and its application can't be a bad thing at all - this would help prepare them for not just math, but some of the applied math fields like computer science as well.
Some people believe in continual improvement, i.e. progress. You should be specific in your critique of this particular pedagogical approach rather than simply claim the o.p. is somehow biased. That method A produced B does not mean that another method is inferior be because it is new. Such an appeal to tradition is fallacious.

Latino Americans : Season 1
- Network: PBS
- Series Premiere Date: Sep 17, 2013
- Summary: Narrated by Benjamin Bratt, the three-part documentary explores the history and challenges Latinos faced going back more than 500 years to the present time.
- Genre(s): News/Documentary, Documentary, Educational
- Season 1 premiere date: Sep 17, 2013

Score distribution:
Positive: 5 out of 5
Mixed: 0 out of 5
Negative: 0 out of 5
Covering nearly five centuries, half a dozen groups and a dozen wars, with interviews from 100 subjects, Latino Americans looks to be exactly what it claims to be: the most thorough documentary on Latino American history yet made.
The notes of triumph become louder and more frequent as PBS' ambitious six-hour series on America's fastest-growing minority moves toward its conclusion.
Latino Americans is the kind of polished, intelligent documentary series that PBS does so well.
The filmmakers do a very good job keeping all the separate plates spinning for six hours, although, to be honest, the show virtually cries out for a sequel focusing more thoroughly on modern times.
The documentary, narrated by Benjamin Bratt (son of a Peruvian mother), is rather dry in spite of the rich subject matter. It's particularly slow-going at the start (the pre-Alamo section is a slog), but it picks up steam as the chronology moves toward the modern age with notables contributing first-person accounts.

All Natural Baby Sling Made to Carry Baby or Toddler Close and Keep You Comfortable with Hands free customizable
Product Info
This sling is made in three sizes. The only difference is the length of the tail. Technically the tail should come at least to you hip. Now my sister insisted on me making her a bigger sling because she likes to have enough fabric to use as a cover for nursing or just to cover baby up if needed. So the one shown in turquoise with owls above is the large and fits all size women and dads. The small is really for those who feel the tail would just be too long for their needs. The regular is shown in a dual tone sling above, a perfect size for everyone with just less tail. These slings are selling quickly and are loved by all. A sling is a great gift for all new mommy's and daddy's. Each sling will come with care instructions and a list of friendly sling sites to show you all the neat ways to hold baby. The rings used are completely strong aluminum and the best rings for sling carriers. Rings come in many colors and chosen color appropriate for each sling.

Religion Youth Pastor Watch
posted by October 17 at 11:14 AMon
Christopher Paul Neil is "the world's most-wanted pedophile." He's the creep that posted hundreds of images online of himself abusing boys; the boys' faces were clearly shown, Neil's face was digitally scrambled. Police were able to unscramble his face and identify Neil—and now we're learning all sorts of interesting things about his past. Like the fact that he was seminarian and a youth pastor of sorts in British Columbia before becoming a fugitive.
The school's website Tuesday morning listed Neil as a Grade 7-8 history teacher, with a degree from The Seminary of Christ the King, in Mission, B.C. His name has since been removed from the school's website.
Archdiocese of Vancouver spokesperson Paul Schratz confirmed that Neil studied at the seminar. "He apparently left at some point when he was not invited to continue his studies for the priesthood," Schratz told CTV British Columbia. The school's rector is quoted as saying Neil did not have the qualifications to be recommended for the priesthood.
Yeah, good pedophile priests are made of stealthier stuff—they can for decades without being caught. Still, despite not being invited to continue his studies, Neil was allowed to help other Catholics—underage Catholics—with their studies:
Neil then shifted his focus to teaching and began volunteering at St. Patrick's Catholic parish six years ago.
"He at some point did some volunteer catechism instruction in the parish—so he would be working with students, preparing them for the preparation of the sacraments, their religious education, that sort of thing," Schratz added.
But let's not talk about the creepy pedophile we sent to work with your kids! Let's talk about JP2 appearing to us in a campfire! Look over there—it's a miracle!

"Hiking for exploring the area around the lake" Orangeville Things to Do Tip by Faiza-Ifrah
Orangeville Things to Do: 7 reviews and 28 photos
We were watching the lakeside scenery from canoes, but hiking on the lakeside trail opened a whole new world of nature to us.
The Vicki Barron Lakeside Trail is appropriate for all trail users. It starts close to the store and docking area.
We found its wide base made up of packed gravel screenings that made it suitable for bicycles, wheelchairs and strollers. No motorized vehicles are allowed though. The easy Trail goes all along the lake (see picture # 5) and seemed to be fairly popular with hikers and anglers.
Spring season wildflowers were blooming all along the Trail. However, much winter foliage had not turned into full green yet.
There are two other trails going into the forest.

Records and the Threat of Cloud Computing I recently hosted a panel for ARMA that proved to be one of the most thought-provoking sessions I have been involved in for a long time. What became abundantly clear early on was that records managers and compliance officers really need to get their head around cloud computing, and fast.

SAP Upgrades BusinessObjects Explorer Last May I complained that the SAP BusinessObjects Explorer release announced at Sapphire wasn't everything I expected from the big, splashy product launch. As of November, however, the missing ingredients -- namely the combination of system-agnostic data integration and acceleration -- will finally be in place. Here's the scoop.
Ksplice: No More Reboots? How'd you like to never have to reboot a Linux box again -- no, not even if you have to apply a kernel-level patch? That's the promise of Ksplice, a software technology for Linux (and maybe soon other platforms) designed to allow a system to be patched from the kernel level on up without having to be restarted. It's available right now for Ubuntu, and from what I can see, it's not digital snake oil.

Business vs. Tech Perspectives on SharePoint 2010 It's tough to get your mind completely around SharePoint 2010 -- an even bigger and more all-encompassing platform than 2007... I can't overstate the enthusiasm for SP2010 at last week's SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas. But here's a question for you the enterprise customer: is all this enthusiasm always in your best interest?
DOD Says Yes To More Open Source Open source in the government and military isn't a new thing; governance is one of open source's biggest target markets, so to speak. It's still all the more heartening to hear the Department of Defense come out strongly in favor of open source, and to recommend using more of it whenever possible.
Defense CIO Touts Benefits Of Open Source Deputy CIO David Wennergren points to reliability, security, and lower TCO as among the potential benefits of using open source in the U.S. military.

Analytics Aplenty at IBM's IOD Conference What were the odds we'd hear all about analytics at this week's IBM Information on Demand (IOD) conference in Las Vegas? I wish I could have placed that bet! "Analytics" was in the very name of two out of four new products announced at IOD. Here's my quick take:
EnterpriseDB, Postgres Maker, Raises $19 Million IBM, Red Hat, and NTT are backing the open source database maker.

Teradata's Hardware Strategy and Tactics The most important takeaways about Teradata's hardware strategy from the Partners conference last week are: 1.

Teradata will mix and match parts (especially storage) in a modular product line.
Windows Partisans Don't Get It Last week's release of Windows 7 has some Windows defenders rubbing their virtual hands at the prospect of Microsoft delivering a knockout blow to Apple. But their arguments reveal that they don't understand why SMBs and consumers have been embracing the Mac in increasing numbers.
How Reliable Is Windows 7? Ask Its Built In Reliability Monitor! Windows 7 has lots of new features, including a useful Problem Steps Recorder. But many SMBs would like to know just how frequent those problems really are. Well, Windows 7 has a built in Reliablity Monitor that's designed to tell you how often a Windows 7 machine has experienced problems.

Is Cloud Bigger Than The Advent Of The Personal Computer? Eric Schmidt, Google CEO, says "the cloud" is a phenomenon that is bigger than the advent of the PC. I think he's almost got it right. Cloud is bigger than the PC Revolution, but it's big in part because it incorporates and extends the PC revolution to Internet server clusters. The cloud owes more to the PC than Eric acknowledges.

Vt. to receive $9 million for rail upgradesThe Associated Press | September 05,2013BURLINGTON - The U.S. Department of Transportation is going to spend nearly $9 million to help upgrade the railroad network in western Vermont.
Gov. Peter Shumlin and Federal Railroad Administration Administrator Joe Szabo are planning to discuss the issue Thursday afternoon in Burlington.
The Vermont grant is one of 52 projects in 37 states that were announced Thursday by U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx.
Vermont rail officials have worked for years to upgrade the railroad network from Bennington to Burlington to improve the connection with rail lines in New York.
Earlier this year the New England Central Railroad, most of which is in eastern Vermont, completed a series of track upgrades with help of a $50 million federal stimulus grant. Rail beds, bridges and tracks were upgraded for passenger and freight trains.MORE IN This Just In

Nokia CEO says they "will return to the consumer world"
Nokia, as a handset maker, is gone from us. Having sold their hardware division to Microsoft, the once-dominant mobile device maker is changing direction. Now a company of services, Nokia will concentrate on its Networks unit, technologies division, and impressive mapping prowess. Still, as end-users and consumers, many of us still want a Nokia handset. Their Lumia devices co-produced with Microsoft were special, but those will now be branded as Windows. Still, Nokia CEO Rajeev Suri isn't closing the door on Nokia handsets in the future.

IPC Director Mary Giovagnoli Quoted in The Fiscal Times
Published on Tue, Apr 08, 2014
IPC Director Mary Giovagnoli was recently quoted in The Fiscal Times article "A Republican Path to Citizenship – Via Boot Camp". The article covers Rep. Jeff Denham's (R-CA) ENLIST Act, which would allow undocumented immigrants to become legal permanent residents upon service in the U.S. military
"It's not surprising that Republicans would dip their toes in the water with these types of bills," said Mary Giavagnoli, director of the Immigration Policy Center at the American Immigration Council. "There's overall consensus that people are who are willing to serve their country should be able to have the benefits of citizenship."

Performance Tradeoffs in Disk Recording
Playing time, disk diameter, bandwidth, dynamic range, and overload probabilities are conflicting parameters for disk recording. A theory has been developed to predict the tradeoffs that are available among these performance characteristics for Gaussian distributed program material. Practical implications of this theory are reviewed.

Live Prices Not Available
To show you the most accurate prices, TTPM only displays our pricing tool on products which we've reviewed in the past three years.
Each Monster High character has something about her that makes her unique. And now those freaky flaws are magnified with creepy cool lights and sounds in the Monster High Ghouls Alive line. Spectra Vondergeist is the daughter of a ghost and has see-through body parts, much like a ghost. When you press the button on Spectra's stomach, her see-through arms and legs light up and ghostly sound effects play. Spectra wears an updated, over-the-top version of her original Monster High outfit. A doll stand is included.
The Monster High dolls have always been freaky, fabulous, and a little tongue-in-cheek. Monster High fans will love that Spectra's translucent skin lights up, and the ghostly sound effects are a clever touch. This doll helps kids bring a favorite Monster High character to life.
Ghouls Alive Spectra Vondergeist is for ages 6 and up.
Three button cell batteries are included. They are for in-store try-me purposes, and Mattel recommends replacing them before you play for best results.
Additional Ghouls Alive dolls include Clawdeen Wolf (who howls) and Frankie Stein (who lights up and makes sparking noises). Each is sold separately.
3 Cell batteries required

Local Legends
Dillinger Four and Atmosphere kicked off the year by sharing the stage at First Avenue's staff party last January--and, surprisingly, nobody got naked. Since then, D4's St. Patrick Costello and Atmosphere's Slug have crisscrossed the world on separate DIY tours. We asked the local punk bassist and punk-ass rapper to recount stories from the road and other 2002 highlights.
--Peter S. Scholtes
CITY PAGES: Got any good anecdotes?
SLUG: I don't even know what an anecdote is. I thought it was like, "Oh man, it burns when I pee. I gotta go get an anecdote."
ST. PATRICK COSTELLO: My most memorable moment this year would be traveling around the country and writing messages to Atmosphere on their tour posters.
SLUG: Yeah, everywhere I went, there was "D4 loves Uptown Jesus" in the bathroom or in the bar. And there were always three kids that came up to me and went, "We just saw Dillinger Four, do you know those guys?"
CITY PAGES: Didn't Dillinger Four play a squat in Switzerland with a pool?
COSTELLO: That was really cool. It was this mansion that this American built, and he'd have diplomats come for dinner and stuff. It looked all Sound of Music. But somewhere along the line he went bankrupt and just packed up and left. So these people squatted and put on shows. The cool thing was that it was right next door to the mansion where Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein. This dude, who I couldn't even really talk to because he only spoke French, he was like, "I am to take you to the mansion. You see for the monster!" And we got pretty loaded and he took me over there. We had to walk a half-mile through the woods. It was really stormy, and I got really terrified.
Another thing was we had no idea that we had a genuine following in England. The first show we played was in London, and we would have been happy if we drew a hundred. And this place, the Underworld, was damn near sold out. It was more like 600 to 700 people. And I remember we played "OK FM DOA" first, and people jumped on the stage right out the gate, singing along to everything. I was dumbfounded.
And then after the show everybody came up and was like, "Do you know Atmosphere?" [laughs] We heard about Atmosphere everywhere. We heard about Har Mar Superstar everywhere. Some people bring up Mason Jennings. Some people bring up American Head Charge.
SLUG: Yeah, Har Mar, you, and Mason Jennings.
COSTELLO: We're always hanging out in this hot tub.
CITY PAGES: How did you two become friends?
COSTELLO: [Through Lifter Puller singer] Craig Finn. Sean, didn't you take him to a rave or something? That's what he told me. He said "Dude, have you ever heard of Atmosphere?" He told me some story about how you got him high out of his mind and took him to a rave or something. It was like the best night of his life.
SLUG: I don't remember taking him to a rave. I've been to two, and I played at both of them. We played one out in Woodbury or some shit, and one in St. Paul near downtown.
COSTELLO: That's the one where I met you, because I remember I had this really cool pacifier in my mouth. And my glowsticks were huge.
SLUG: Your glowstick is still huge. Give yourself credit.
COSTELLO: [laughs] I got one of those little Irish glowsticks.
CITY PAGES: Sean, I saw your DJ, Mr. Dibbs, throw up on your shirt at First Avenue. Is there a story behind that?
SLUG: When we went to Japan, they took us from the airport to the venue. We started walking around and it was this huge rap festival. They had rappers from around the country that they brought over there for this. And after about a half-hour people would start to realize who we were: "Atmosphere!" "Mr. Dibbs!" They would start coming up to us going, "Mr. Dibbs!" [makes a gagging motion, finger in mouth].
CITY PAGES:: I didn't realize Dibbs did a lot of vomiting on the road.
SLUG: He made a DVD and a videotape called Scratchapuncture. You know when all the DJs were making these videotapes for kids to learn how to scratch? Well, Dibbs made one where there's barely any scratching in it. It just had tons of fights and throwing up and people eating human shit.
COSTELLO: That's the stuff people always bring up. Because we get that too: "Are you going to take your pants off tonight?" They ask in advance. We'll be like, "Yeah, during the fifth song." Actually that was the highlight of this year, when you and I had that vomit contest in that Laundromat. I suppose that wasn't a show, though.
SLUG: He won. He threw up first.
ELLO: When we played at the Troubadour in L.A., that was the show where Avril Lavigne showed up. And this was when she had the hit single or whatever. But we didn't know who she was because we weren't listening to the radio.
I just remember the security guard coming up and saying, "Ms. Avril Lavigne is here, and she'd like to know if she can come in." And we're like, "April who?" Then we had to drive from L.A. right back to Minneapolis the next day, and it was then that we had the radio on, and we were like, "Oh!" We had no idea. We wouldn't let her in the dressing room. She was too young to drink, anyway.
SLUG: On Halloween in Montreal, some girl drew a soul patch on herself and came to the show and said to me: "Who am I?"
COSTELLO: Actually, we just got e-mailed photos of some guy who went as me for Halloween. He walked around with his pants halfway down his butt and wrote, "How much art can you take?" on his chest. He shaved this Mr. T haircut that I had on the West Coast. Everybody was like, "Yeah, he really looked a lot like you."
I was looking at him like, "Goddamn, I am a fat, ugly motherfucker if I look like this dude."
SLUG: I was in Oklahoma City going back to the hotel after the bar, carrying a six-pack of Corona that I took home with me. And I had to take the Coronas out of a cooler full of ice. And they gave me a six-pack case to put it all in. So I guess by the time we got back to the hotel, the wet beer from the cooler water dissolved the bottom of the cardboard. But I didn't realize this.
So I'm just walking, carrying it, and we're staying at this nice hotel. I'm walking through the lobby, and I turn the corner and I start making my way to the elevators, and all of a sudden I feel one of the bottles go through the bottom of the six pack.Ptchsshhhh! Glass and beer all over the floor of this nice hotel.
So I go, "Fuck, I better start walking faster." And in one arm I got a humidifier that we'd just bought at Wal-Mart on the way back to the hotel, because my throat had been fucking with me, and in the other this six-pack--now a five-pack. All of a sudden I'm getting close to the elevator and another one falls through. Ptchsshhhh! So I quicken my pace, like, "Man, I'm gonna lose all my beers! If I get in the elevator, at least it's carpeted and the beers won't break!"
All of sudden I hear: "Hey! Stop!"
I turn around and look, and it's this little, fat, Flintstone-looking cop. And he's starting to run down the hall towards me. And I've got about 30 yards before he reaches me, right? And I'm just like, "Ah, fuck!" And I start walking faster to get away from him, to get in the elevator. I'm drunk.
Another one falls. Ptchsshhhh! And right before the elevator, I lost all the beers. They all crashed to the floor.
The cop is screaming at me. I get in the elevator, and I'm pushing the door to shut it, 'cause if I get the door to shut, he's not gonna get me. I'm gonna get to whatever floor I'm going to, and it's over.
Fucking cop comes running. And he tries to stop in front of the elevator and put his hand out. But he slips in the beer and falls right off his feet onto his back, hits his fucking head. And I see all that, and then I see him slide past my field of vision.
So now I'm like, "Fuck, this dude fell in glass and beer," so I get out of the elevator to go deal with this. I'm not gonna be the dick, I'm gonna help him up.
Well, he didn't need help. He gets up, covered in beer and shit, grabs me, throws me against the wall, and my humidifier goes crashing to the floor.
He's got me like this, and here comes [Atmosphere friends] J-Bird and Murs, and everybody's kind of just going, "What do we do? The cop's arresting Sean."
The cop's saying, "Why are you breaking beer?"
And all I could say was, "I wanted to drink those beers, man. You think I brought those here to be a dick? I brought those to get drunk, man."
They let me go when the other cop came. But the guy was so embarrassed. He wanted to kill me. It was a very anti-drug tour, though.
COSTELLO: Another weird thing you just made me think of: We played this show in Scotland. It was really weird because we got the itinerary of what we were doing in England. I don't know that much about the geography of England, but I knew enough, thanks to the movie Quadrophenia, to know that Brighton's on the southernmost point of England.
And the very next day we were playing this place called Haddington, Scotland. And I just remember looking at it and going, "This doesn't make any sense: Why the hell are we driving the entire length of England in 24 hours?"
Our buddy Sean Tyler, from Rough Trade, who booked the tour, was like, "Well, I'll tell you, this kid had e-mailed us for two years saying, 'You gotta come play Scotland.'" And [the kid] had thrown out crazy shit, like, "I'll fly you here."
You just kind of write it off because you get weird e-mails like that, anyway. But apparently he had tracked down Tyler, and he had thrown out some amount that he would pay us, and Sean was like, "Look, there's just no way we can fit it in. They're not here for that long."
And every time Tyler would e-mail him and tell him "no," the guy would write back with some higher number. It eventually reached this amount of money that was just stupid. Like, I wouldn't pay it to see tomorrow.
So Tyler was just like, "I went ahead and took it. It's doable."
So we ended up having this thing where we played Brighton. We literally had an hour to hang out with people and then we had to jump in this van and drive all night. And we got into Haddington at noon the next day or whatever.
What we found out was, this kid--he's not really a kid, he's probably 23--wasn't a promoter at all. Which is fine; we're used to that. But what he had done is that Scotland has this thing where it's a kind of "youth help" deal. You can apply to get money to do things that are supposedly going to help youth. So he applied for money saying he wanted to promote a show that would get kids to play musical instruments, to get them off the street. So they gave him all this crazy money. It was at this community center. And he'd built this stage. We told him he didn't have to do all that, and he's like, in his Scottish accent: "That doesn't matter, I've got the money!"
We showed up and it was a Scottish village, it wasn't a city by any means. But the posters were everywhere. And people knew who we were before we got there, because everybody knew about him applying for the money and getting the money. So we showed up. Man, his dad drove up in a hatchback filled to the roof with beer. There were like three moms who had made the craziest spread ever. It was seriously like an Old Country Buffet in this community center. We were on tour with our friends the Tone from England and they were like, "God, I've never seen anything like this in my life." And then newspapers showed up to take pictures of us with him.
So we do the show, and it was great. It was weird, everyone [had come], from these punks that had come down from Edinburgh, [to] these little kids in Korn shirts. And then there'd be these 60- or 70-year-old people who came just because it's this event in this town.
Afterwards we hung out and had a great time walking around and drinking with all these lunatics from the town. And later on, we found out the thing was such a big success that they chose this guy as the example of what the youth of Scotland should be: You know, get things done, apply for money. He got invited to go to this castle and meet the royal family from England. It's totally funny.
I made a joke to him at one point. We were there and I was like, "Man, this place rules. Everybody's funny, everybody's cool, everybody's nice. I ought to come and live here."
And his dad totally took it literally, and he e-mailed me maybe three months ago. His dad, who works at a brewery there, was like, "You know, if you need a job, we can get you one."

The chapter opener discusses how the Federal Communications Commission is considering more stringent regulation of product placements in television shows. Evaluate the arguments for and against this policy by the FCC. (LO3)
The chapter opener discusses how the Federal Communications Commission is considering more stringent regulation of product placements in television shows. Evaluate the arguments for and against this policy by the FCC. (LO3)
Unlike some countries, the use of product placements in television shows and movies is not prohibited in the United States. While the use of undisclosed commercial messages in broadcasting has been regulated by the FCC since 1934, broadcasters do not have to disclose product placements when they are offered without charge or for a nominal fee. However, they are required to disclose any money, service or valuable consideration that is paid to, promised to, or charged by the broadcaster in exchange for product placements. The broadcasters have been considered in compliance with the regulation by placing an announcement in the credits at the beginning or end of the program stating that "promotion consideration paid for by (name of sponsor)" which remains on the screen long enough to be seen and/or heard by the average viewer. However, as the use of product placements has increased, a number of consumer advocacy groups have argued that more regulation of the practice is needed. They argue that product placements are inherently deceptive because many TV viewers do not realize they are in fact a form of advertising. Moreover, critics argue that consumers do not have their usual veil of skepticism or perceptual defenses engage, like they do when watching a standard television commercial, when exposed to a product placement in a show. They are also concerned over the way many of the product placements are now being integrated into television shows which makes it difficult for viewers to distinguish a commercial message from the actual program. They also note that seeing a brand used in the context of a TV show and used by a popular character may have an impact on consumers, particularly children, and thus increase the likelihood of purchase.
Marketers are obviously opposed to any additional regulation of product placements such as the use of a notification system that would alert consumers when a product placement appears in a show. They argue that disclosure at the end of a program is sufficient as notification during a program would disrupt the flow of a show (and of course alert viewers to the fact that a fee was paid for the product placement). Producers of television shows and the major broadcast and cable networks are also opposed to any regulations as product placements are becoming an important source of revenue that help underwrite the costs of TV shows. Marketers view product placements as a way to deliver branding messages to consumers who are becoming increasingly difficult to reach with regular TV advertising as many of them now record shows on their DVRs and fast-forward through the commercials during playback. Proponents of product placement also note that the Federal Trade Commission has declined to regulate their use arguing that they have no basis for doing so since they rarely make objective material claims about a product or service when used within a program. The FTC also argues that it would be difficult to develop a "one-size –fits-all" rule or guidelines that could effectively regulate product placements. It is likely that the use of product placements in their current form will continue unless there is more consumer backlash against them or the practice becomes too intrusive.

Video Description
A picture of Joseph Wagner, winemaker for Meiomi.
Tasting Notes
Where does Meiomi come from? Well, it comes from a series of vineyards all selected by Joe Wagner, Winemaker & Viticulturist for Belle Glos and Meiomi. Each vineyard is chosen for its unique flavors, textures and aromas. Bucking tradition, this Pinot Noir is a blend of multiple vineyards stretching along the California coast starting from Sonoma, to Monterey, and last but not least...Santa Barbara
Wine Maker Notes
Meiomi is a high style Pinot Noir that is shaped, more than anything else, by the fruit sources that lay the foundation of the blend. A pure bred enjoyment wine, built to accommodate any pairing from food to friends. Unifying California's most noteworthy coastal areas opens the door for a dynamic and opulent wine that is ready to enjoy whenever you are.
Technical Notes
The dimensions of Meiomi begin in the vineyard. It then relies on sound winemaking to hold onto those characters and build upon them with the tools available. We hope you enjoy this Pinot Noir as it was meant to...anywhere, anytime.

BLUF: Incredible athlete with frontline starter potential, but he remains unbelievably raw.
The Player: Tyrell Jenkins (RHP, St. Louis Cardinals) – Drafted in the supplemental first round by the Cardinals in 2010 and received an over-slot seven-figure bonus. Spent his age 17 and 18 seasons in the Appalachian League compiling a 3.66 ERA in 13 starts. Tossed 59 innings with 65 hits allowed, 15 walks and 57 strikeouts. Has struggled at times in Low-A in 2012, posting a 5.66 ERA in 14 starts, allowing 62 hits and 32 walks in 62 innings, with 61 strikeouts.
Basis of Report: Compilation – Personal Observation (Midwest League 2012), Industry Contacts
Scouting Report
Body (6-4, 200): Plus-plus pitcher's frame. Freakish athlete. Premium wide receiver talent coming out of high school. Long arms and legs. High waist. Great body with projection remaining.
Delivery/Mechanics: Has become cleaner and more consistent as a pro. Leg kick has been reduced and his lower half is more involved. Drops on his back leg and drives to home plate. Clean and loose arm action. Everything works well because of athleticism.
Fastball (FB) Velocity (Wind-up): High – 96, Low – 90, Average – 92-93, Grade – 60/70
Fastball (FB) Velocity (Stretch): High – 95, Low 89, Average 91-92, Grade – 50/70
Fastball (FB) Movement: Not a ton of movement outside of some natural life on his four-seamer. Will show occasional sink but not on command. Long arms and large frame lead to good angle to the plate. Should have average future movement. Grade – 40/50
Overall Fastball: Can be highly variable. Typically plus velocity with decent life, but will lose mechanics at time and arm can drag, causing the pitch to vary in quality and firmness. Potential for plus-plus velocity and enough movement to keep him off the center of the bat. Grade – 50/70
Curveball (CB): Occasional flashes of plus pitch with good, tight spin and downward bite. Lacks consistency. Gets around the ball at times and can get caught casting it as well. Shows ability to adjust from one pitch to the next, correcting his mistakes. Potential plus pitch with more experience and feel. Grade – 40/60
Change-up (CH): Good arm speed gives deception. Gets a little too firm at times. Generally trusts the grip and lets it fly. Shows some fade and a little sink at its best. Could be average third pitch but requires a lot of faith and projection. Grade – 30/40
Control: Works around the strike zone and typically works within the confines of the zone. Has small bouts of wildness but shows ability to correct. Has athleticism and clean delivery to project as a strike thrower down the line. Grade – 40/60
Command: Command is a ways off. Lacks feel for locating FB and CB. Typically just throws it at the zone. Needs significant work refining ability to locate to both sides of the plate. Extremely athletic with good body awareness and clean arm action. Ingredients for command projection. Will need time to pull everything together. Likely the last thing to come and may not reach average level until well after big league debut. Grade – 30/50
Summation: Scout's dream for a pitching prospect. Long, lean frame with exceptional athleticism and strong work ethic. Learns quickly and can apply suggestions and changes real time. High makeup/character kid. Potential for plus FB with additional consistency. Same for CB, which could be hard downer that misses bats. CH could give third pitch of at least average level, but could take a while. Extremely raw. Sashimi raw. All-Star level starter ceiling but incredibly long way away from reaching that ceiling. Epitome of high risk, high reward pitching prospect.
Relative Risk: High. High doesn't even do this justice.
Future: The Cardinals are committing to taking a BBQ approach to Jenkins; low and slow. Could return to the Midwest League in 2013 and may not reach High-A until 2014. Still extremely young and ahead of the developmental curve. His first exposure to the upper levels could come as late as 2015, giving him a 2016-2017 big league ETA. Patience is required.

I would like to know some command line code that will upGRADE Microsoft Security Essentials. There is code for upDATEing, but upGRADING is more elusive.
You will need to download the appropriate installer for the new version you want to upgrade to, and then run that file. The files are available from the microsoft download center. Save the file, then run
Well as MSE is now in WSUS and Windows Update you might want to do something like
There are scripts out there that will run the full detect and install for WUAU that might help but I would think you only need to download the latest MSI or EXE and use msiexec to install it silently.
I'm not sure you can do it via MSE. The command line options for it are as follows:
C:>cd %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Security Essentials
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Essentials>MpCmdRun

A lot of story lines out of Pocono, but Denny Hamlin sweeping the two events there this season stands out.
Hamlin did what you are supposed to do. Whenever a driver goes to a race and starts on the pole and dominates the spring race like he did at Pocono, you really expect to be able to come back with the same car and do it again. A lot of times it doesn't happen, but this time it did.
Hamlin started on the pole for the second time in as many races at Pocono and dominated the field. That was one of the first times I've seen a car be that consistent from race to race at the same track. Usually at Pocono, the first and second races are different because they are run at different times of the year. One race is really cool and the other is really hot, but this time they had a lot of rain and the track had a lot of grip. It was a different track condition than what we are accustomed to in the July race. Hamlin did exactly what the textbook says should happen: If you are that fast the first race then you should be that fast in the second race. And Hamlin was.
What happened behind Hamlin on Lap 32 made a lot of news, too.
Tony Stewart and Clint Bowyer had an altercation and took Carl Edwards out of contention.
I watched that wreck several times. Stewart came off Turn 3 on the outside of the track with Bowyer right alongside him pretty hard, but he wasn't hitting him, but was really up tight against Stewart. When you have a car on the inside of you pushing that much air, one of two things will happen to the outside car: you will lose either the front end or the rear end. Basically it makes the car really unstable when you get that close to a car coming off a flat corner like Turn 3 at Pocono.
Bowyer really forced Tony up against the wall and he bounced off it. When Stewart bounced off the wall he got really mad and turned and bumped Bowyer. Bowyer swung away from Stewart but didn't see Edwards trying to go three wide on the inside. Bowyer took himself and Edwards out when he swerved away from Stewart.
It's not that Stewart knocked Bowyer into Edwards, you have to go back to the first thing that happened. Stewart was forced into the wall and when he hit the wall that made him mad. He took a swipe at Bowyer -- which he shouldn't have done -- because he was really mad.
Edwards is mad because he crashed and he retaliates against Stewart really when Stewart never even touched him. It was a chain reaction and the whole thing started when Bowyer ran Stewart up into the wall. Trust me, Tony Stewart isn't going to come off Turn 3 and drive into the wall and run into it all by himself.
If I was Stewart, I wouldn't have been so frustrated to flip Bowyer off, but I would have been upset. I don't think it's fair to lay 100 percent of the blame on Tony because he's the one who got stuck in the wall. I would put 70 percent of the blame on Bowyer for running Tony into the wall and 30 percent on Tony for retaliating, and Edwards should have just stayed out of it because he was just a victim of a bad circumstance.
Race for the Chase, or next season?
At this point, drivers just on the outside of the Chase aren't even thinking about next season. The drivers thinking about next season are the ones who are completely out of the Chase. The drivers who still have a legitimate shot, like Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Edwards and a few others, are thinking about getting in the Chase. And the drivers currently in the top 10 are just thinking about staying in the Chase.
The one I like to make the Chase who is currently outside the top 10 is Earnhardt. He really runs well at Richmond and that's the last race before the Chase. He has a good shot at getting back into the top 10. I also like Greg Biffle, who is 44 points out of 10th place. Kurt Busch mathematically still has a shot, but right now he needs the three drivers in front of him (Stewart, Earnhardt Jr. and Biffle) all to have problems, and all year long they haven't been having many problems.
Surprises so far
The most surprising team, as far as performance, has been Jeff Burton and the No. 31 car. He's the Jeff Burton of old. For a while he was confused and lost, but now he's with Richard Childress Racing and his marketing team has signed a lot of new sponsors which has enabled Childress to spend a lot of money on research and development. And Burton has really had a resurgence in his driving. I spoke with Childress the other day, and he said if he could test every day, you would never get Burton out of his car. He's really into his car and the setup and is a renewed driver.
My disappointment for the year, although I know they will turn it around, is Robert Yates Racing. Sometimes you really have to get down to get back up. Dale Jarrett and Elliott Sadler have decided to leave, enticed by bigger money. Sometimes you really have to be down to know what you are doing wrong, and that's where Yates is.
Robert invited me to his engine shop because I had heard how beautiful it was. After you look at his engine shop, you will never understand how anyone can possibly compete with him, because it is such a well-oiled machine.
Robert is going to go out and hire some great engineers and align himself with better people and get some drivers who are really hungry. He's not giving up and is on a mission to get everything right. I wouldn't want to be in his line of fire right now, because he's really going to get it running.

Get Drunk Not Fat
"It's 7 p.m.—time to roll up the sidewalks and go home folks, because this party is now over."
Vancouver has long struggled with a reputation as a "No Fun City", largely due to draconian BC liquor laws. Many prohibition-era laws were not repealed until 1999 or later. The struggle to bring fun to the city culminated in the 2010 Olympics; but on Saturday, the fun proved too much for city officials, and police ordered all downtown liquor stores to close at 7pm.

NBC is once again dipping its toe into the waters of liquor advertising. Although liquor ads have been running on cable since 1996 their presence on broadcast TV remains controversial, due to the presumed influence of alcohol ads on underage drinking .

It's got hilarious drink names in it, like "Caller Abortion" (a stunt Limbaugh used on his show -- complete with the sound of a vacuum cleaner), "Feminazi Frazzle," and "John F-ing Kerry." The recipes look like they'd make tasty drinks, but I think I'll pass on the purchase. Who really needs a novelty, right-wing drink recipe book?
