MLB's ever-expanding playoffs
Originally Published: April 27, 2011By Jim Caple | Page 2
Commissioner Bud Selig said last week that baseball will likely expand the playoffs yet again, saying, "Ten is a fair number." Why does a sport that got by perfectly well with four postseason teams just 18 years ago and eight teams since then suddenly need 10 teams to be "fair"? Forget about handicapping the wild-card teams. The real reason behind the proposed change is money. The more teams in the postseason, the more teams in "contention" in September and the more tickets sold in between fantasy ...

This is really just to satisfy my curiosity after this question. Although I'm now using an alternative solution, the original problem appears to come down to the fact that TIOCMGET is not implemented, and I'd like to know a bit about why that is.
Sadly, I haven't found much useful information just by googling, and I'm finding the tty_ioctl man page (the first result) pretty impenetrable.
So, what exactly is TOCMGET, where is it implemented, and where might mono be looking for it and failing to find it?

Need a film filled with hand-to-hand combat, light comedy and superheroes decked out in awesome suits? Then "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" will not disappoint.
This action-packed thriller has many of the characteristics of the other Marvel movies, including sarcastic one-liners, blinding explosions and heartfelt moments.
Taking place two years after "The Avengers," this movie focuses on Steve Rogers, aka Captain America (Chris Evans). In "Captain America: The First Avenger," the film focuses on the creation of the legendary superhero and his battle against the evil organization Hydra. He saves the world by crashing a Hydra plane holding nuclear bombs in the Arctic and is presumed dead. The film ends with Rogers waking up in the 21st century and finding out that he had been frozen for more than 70 years.
In "The Winter Soldier," Rogers is still adjusting to modern life. He takes up normal activities, like jogging with his new friend and fellow war veteran Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie). Rogers is later picked up by Natasha Romanoff, aka the Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), who informs him they have a new job: saving lives of S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives who have been taken hostage on a ship by Algerian terrorists.
It turns out that there is more to the mission than Rogers first thought when he finds Natasha storing information on a flash drive. Rogers grows suspicious of her actions and of S.H.I.E.L.D. He learns there is no one he can trust, even the organization he works for that is dedicated to protecting people.
His greatest challenge arrives in the form of a hired assassin, the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), who hides his face with a mask and can be identified by a silver robotic arm. The assassin's powers seem to rival Rogers', matching his inhuman strength and ability.
Directors Joe and Anthony Russo did a great job with this movie, especially the casting. The star-studded cast features returning fan favorites such as Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Agent Maria Hill ("How I Met Your Mother's" Cobie Smulders). New faces appear, too, such as longtime actor Robert Redford as a senior S.H.I.E.L.D official named Alexander Pierce.
The script, written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, allows Evans to portray a wide range of emotions, from betrayal and anger to relief and hopefulness. The script also has many small comedic moments, amazingly well done by both Mackie and Johansson.
In addition to her sassy attitude in this movie, Johansson brought more depth to her mysterious character than in any other movie. Though the main hero of the movie is Captain America, the Black Widow plays a bigger part in this film than she did in "Iron Man 2" and "The Avengers." Fans of her character will be very pleased with her fighting scenes as well as her witty banter with Rogers.
This 136-minute long movie keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. However, it is noticeably more violent than any previous Marvel film. There are many scenes that involve explosions, guns and blood. For this reason, it may be scary for children under 10.
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is definitely a great film to see in theaters, especially in 3-D.

USA: A model of a 'tree-home' designed by researchers at Tel Aviv University and a branch of America's famous M.I.T.
Scientists from Israel and the U.S have proposed building ingenious 'tree-homes' in cities and towns as a way of saving the planet. Using advanced techniques in the scientific branch of airoponics, which is an offshoot of hydroponics, the green-fingered researchers are confident that the first prototype home could be ready in as little as ten years. Returning us all to the trees to live in the manner of the Swiss Family Robinson, it is hoped that by re-connecting with our organic roots, pollution and carbon footprints could become a thing of the past.

Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream inspired Charles Baxter's The Feast of Love; in turn, Baxter's novel has inspired a film. The story's locale has shifted from Ann Arbor to Portland, Oregon, but its theme—the intoxicating power of romance—remains the same. The action revolves around the couplings and uncouplings of a circle of acquaintances whose stories are narrated by Harry (Morgan Freeman), a philosophy professor who holds court in a local café. Even as Harry's own marriage is tested by tragedy, he continues to dispense advice to his lovesick neighbors, including the café's proprietor (Greg Kinnear) and its mutually infatuated barristas (newcomers Toby Hemingway and Alexa Davalos). Although the plot occasionally feels contrived, director Robert Benton (Kramer vs. Kramer) steers clear of treacle and delivers an ode to love that is witty, grown-up, and profoundly humane.

Like the record industry before it, the publishing industry is changing dramatically. Of the Big Seven publishers (Random House, HarperCollins, MacMillan, Penguin, Simon & Schuster, Hachette Book Group (Little, Brown & Co, et al), and Scholastic), six of them–all but Scholastic– have proven to be too big to change their business strategy in a rapidly changing marketplace. The culprit was a combination of the predatory sales practices of online retailers (particularly Amazon.com) and changes in the media (MP3s in the case of the music industry; ebooks in the case of the book industry).

In his new book, The Road Taken, the distinguished historian and engineer Henry Petroski looks back on the evolution of our core physical and transportation infrastructure – the roads, bridges, interstate highways, everything constructed and maintained in past centuries for the chief purpose of moving human beings and commerce from one location to another. Petroski also declares a state of emergency concerning the dismal state of affairs (a "tipping point") of our decaying transportation infrastructure.

There's the Hillary Clinton who is and always has been an activist, advocate, and idealist determined to advance civil rights, promote women's equality, champion the strivers, and upend the status quo by using the levers of power to effect political and social change. But no, there's another Hillary Clinton, a calculating, privileged member of the elite who is too cozy with power, condescends to ordinary Americans, sees herself as above the law, and manipulates every word and sentence for political, personal, and financial gain.

Financial Audit:
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Funds' 2004 and 2003 Financial Statements
GAO-05-281: Published: Feb 11, 2005. Publicly Released: Feb 11, 2005.
Additional Materials:

GAO is required to annually audit the financial statements of the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF), Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF), and FSLIC Resolution Fund (FRF), which are administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). GAO is responsible for obtaining reasonable assurance about whether FDIC's financial statements for BIF, SAIF, and FRF are presented fairly in all material respects, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and whether FDIC maintained effective internal control over financial reporting and compliance. Also, GAO is responsible for testing FDIC's compliance with selected laws and regulations. Created in 1933 to insure bank deposits and promote sound banking practices, FDIC plays an important role in maintaining public confidence in the nation's financial system. In 1989, legislation to reform the federal deposit insurance system created three funds to be administered by FDIC: BIF and SAIF, which protect bank and savings deposits, and FRF, which was created to close out the business of the former Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation.
In GAO's opinion, FDIC fairly presented the 2004 and 2003 financial statements for the three funds it administers--the Bank Insurance Fund, the Savings Association Insurance Fund, and the FSLIC Resolution Fund. GAO also found that FDIC had effective internal control over financial reporting and compliance for each fund. GAO did not find reportable instances of noncompliance with the laws and regulations it tested. In prior years, GAO reported on weaknesses in FDIC's information system controls, which were described as a reportable condition. Specifically, FDIC had not adequately restricted access to critical financial programs and data, provided sufficient network security, or established a comprehensive program to monitor access activities. A primary reason for FDIC's information system control weaknesses was that the corporation had not established a comprehensive information security program to manage computer security. During the past several years, FDIC has made progress in correcting information system control weaknesses, and in 2004, FDIC made substantial progress in correcting most of the weaknesses that GAO identified in prior years, including taking steps to fully establish a comprehensive information security program. These improvements, combined with the progress reported last year, enabled GAO to conclude that the remaining issues related to information system controls no longer constitute a reportable condition. FDIC's implementation of new financial systems in the coming year will significantly change its information systems environment and the related information systems controls necessary for their effective operation. Consequently, continued management commitment to an effective information security program will be essential to ensure that the corporation's financial and sensitive information will be adequately protected in this new environment. GAO did not identify any reportable conditions during its 2004 audits. However, GAO noted other less significant matters involving FDIC's internal controls, including information system controls. GAO will be reporting separately to FDIC management on these matters.

Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): If you can dream it, you can project it. True frontline potential with two easy future 70-grade pitches.
The Player: Taijuan Walker (RHP, Seattle Mariners) – A supplemental pick in 2010, Walker and the Mariners agreed to an $800,000 signing bonus out of a California high school. He only pitched seven innings in the Arizona complex league after signing but absolutely blew the Mariners away with his performance in the fall instructional league. He broke onto the national scene in 2011 with a 2.89 ERA in 18 starts at Low-A. He struck out well over a batter per inning (112 in 96.2) with a solid walk rate.
Scouting Report
Body: Absolutely flawless frame (6-4, 195) that oozes future projection. Has natural strength and room to add more without become stiff.
Makeup: I've heard nothing but good things about his makeup in my conversations with area scouts from his time as an amateur and in discussions with the Mariners.
Delivery/Mechanics: Everything is easy in his delivery. Employs a modest leg kick that allows him to maintain excellent balance over the rubber. His arm action is exceptionally clean and lightning fast. He finishes well out front and lands in a position that allows him to field come backers.
Fastball (FB) Velocity (Wind-up): High – 99, Low – 92, Average – 94-95, Grade – 70/80
Fastball (FB) Velocity (Stretch): High – 98, Low 92, Average 94-95, Grade – 70/80
Fastball (FB) Movement: Has good life and gets on hitters thanks to his long limbs and extension in his delivery. Will show some boring action in on right-handers at times. Shows aptitude to manipulate the ball. Grade – 50/60
Overall Fastball: Potential elite fastball velocity with such an easy delivery that it explodes to the plate and has added deception as a result. Grade – 70/80
Curveball (CB): Scouts saw both a true hammer and a loopier breaking ball from him in 2011. The hammer has elite potential and could be one of the better ones in the game if he can find consistency. Has 12-6 to 12-5 break that is hard and biting when it's on. Grade – 50/70
Change-up (CH): Maintains arm speed and slot well but lacks feel for the pitch. Doesn't always trust it and will try too hard to take some off it at times. Shows some sink when its working. Grade – 30/50
Control: Athleticism allows him to repeat his delivery well which helps him pound the strike zone with both FB and CB. Will work up in the zone too much at times, particularly when he tries to dial it up. Needs to trust natural velocity and pound the bottom of the zone. Grade – 40/70
Command: Locating within the zone is a work in progress. He will show flashes of moving the ball side to side and can intentionally elevate at times, but is too often just throwing at the zone rather than trying to hit a spot. Ultra-projectable delivery and athleticism gives plenty of projection. Grade – 30/60
Summation: You can imagine Walker becoming just about anything down the line. With crazy athleticism, great arm action, two pitches with at least 70 potential and a good head for pitching, he could be a true front of the rotation monster. He will require some developmental time but his potential is undeniable. The nuances of the game such as fielding his position, pickoff moves and pitch sequencing are still very much a work in progress, but they should come with experience. If the change-up leaps forward to be an average pitch there won't be much left to stop him. The ace tag is thrown around too often by fans but Walker has everything needed to develop into a legitimate top of the rotation stud.
Relative Risk: High. In this case, with great potential reward comes great risk. There's still a lot that could go wrong as Walker navigates the developmental hurdles – including the injury nexus – of a young pitcher.
Future: The Mariners haven't set his 2012 assignment in stone yet but it is highly unlikely he will be anywhere but the California League to start the year. There could be some statistical bumps this year but as long as he remains healthy and shows progress with his command and change-up, he should stay on target for a late 2014 debut.

David Ubben (3:00 PM)
Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Big 12 chat. What's on your minds today?
Joe Mayo (Boulder, CO)
Obviously if KSU and OU both win this weekend, KSU would go to the Fiesta Bowl and OU would probably go to the Sugar. If OU would win and KSU would lose, would KSU have a shot at the Sugar? If not, why wouldn't they as a 10-2 team?
David Ubben (3:01 PM)
I don't think so. That's asking a lot. It's impossible if Kent State wins. But K-State would be pretty undesirable at that point. They'd be coming off two uninspired losses in three weeks to end the season and wouldn't have any share of the Big 12 title. 10-2 would be a great record, but they would likely fall all the way back to the Alamo Bowl.
Kevin (Dallas)
After this upcoming Saturday it looks like TCU, WVU and TTU will all be 7-5. Will it matter in the bowl picks that TTU beat both of the other teams or when it comes to the lower bowls is it really more about the match ups?
David Ubben (3:03 PM)
It's largely about late-season momentum and matchups. TCU has the most, followed by WVU and TTU. The way Tech finished doesn't really make them an attractive candidate, and WVU has a lot of big names that fans will recognize. This is all about bowls getting the matchup that fans want to see most. It'd be fun to see WVU-Pitt in the Pinstripe Bowl. Or any Big East team, really.
Ben (Chicago)
What do you think the chances are the Big 12 expands before the start of the playoffs?
David Ubben (3:03 PM)
Very low right now.
Pete (Missouri)
Shouldn't Johnny Manziel's arrest influence Heisman voters? If it doesn't, where is the moral compass in College Football. Klein and Te'o are much more deserving!!
David Ubben (3:06 PM)
This argument is so dumb. First off, Manziel's arrest was for two misdemeanors, the worst of which was disorderly conduct. Cam Newton had a more serious past, and nobody cared, or at least not folks digging for reasons why he shouldn't win the Heisman. If Manziel was under investigation for sexual assault or some violent crime, then fine. I think that matters. But some idiotic, alcohol-fueled fight back in June, and getting caught with a fake ID? Please.
Mark (Springfield, MO)
Do you think Collin Klein has a chance to win the Heisman by having a stellar game against Texas?
David Ubben (3:07 PM)
He's still alive. Getting the last word helps. He's going to need something Herculean (300 passing yards, 150 rushing yards, 5 TDs) to really even make it interesting, but it's not over until it's over. None of the other candidates have any games left. That helps Klein.
Collin (Dallas)
Was Texas in your top 25 ballot? Baylor is the best team they've beaten at home and they have arguably the worst loss of any team all season (Red River Rivalry). The Horns are a questionable call in Stillwater away from having another horrendous season... and that's not even counting their debacle @ Kansas.
David Ubben (3:09 PM)
Yeah, I agree with you Collin. The four-game winning streak, even though it came against questionable competition, had me buying in to Texas. Amazing how one game can change the outlook of a season. Texas looked completely lost. One win over K-State might change a few things for the Horns, too.
Soonerfandave84 (OK)
Ubben, if OU gets lucky and wins the conference outright, there is talk of the Sugar and Fiesta trading teams so there is an OU vs UF game, how exactly does that work?
David Ubben (3:11 PM)
Well, you pretty much just talk to the bowls. It's nothing against the Fiesta. Oklahoma's just been out there too much. I think Berry Tramel called it "desert fatigue" this week. The Insight Bowl is hosted by the same people at many of the same places, and OU has been in one or the other in four of the last six years, including the last two. Just want a change of scenery.
David If you had to guess, who would be the starting QB for the Longhorns next season Brewer, Overstreet, or Ash?
David Ubben (3:13 PM)
Ash. I'm interested to see what Tyrone Swoopes does once he enrolls early. He had a rough season this year as a senior, but you never know. Nobody thought Ash would earn time as a freshman, either. A lot can happen between now and August.
Nick (Iowa)
What bowl will ISU go to? Who will they play and will they win?
David Ubben (3:16 PM)
Depends on what happens at the top of the league. If the Big 12 does indeed get two BCS teams, Iowa State should end up in the Heart of Dallas Bowl, which I like to refer to as the Zombie Cotton Bowl. If not, Iowa State will have to go to a bowl without a Big 12 tie, because the league only has eight tie-ins. Could be anywhere. Independence Bowl again?
William (Houston)
Thoughts about the TCU/OU game this Saturday? I think that the Frogs may be able to hold OU to its smallest offensive stats of the year. If the Frogs are able to throw the ball well and win the turnover battle - TCU might just pull another upset.
David Ubben (3:17 PM)
I'd agree with that. More on that later this week ...
Gundy (Stillwater)
Is your curse the reason we lost on Saturday?
David Ubben (3:17 PM)
I'd say special teams, fourth-quarter three-and-outs and late-game defense had a little more to do with it.
Stephen (Ok)
How much do you think Landry's recent efforts have affected his draft status? Those were some clutch drives in the past two weeks, something I think was doubted from him in the past.
David Ubben (3:19 PM)
Definitely has gone up a bit. He's been solid in Big 12 play. It'll be interesting to see how he handles the combine and how it affects his stock. I think he'll do well, but he's racked up a lot of great --and not so great -- game tape. He seems like a high risk, high reward pick. No idea what'll happen with him in the NFL.
David Ubben (3:20 PM)
I do think he'll convince somebody to take him in the first round. Measurables are just to ideal for the NFL game.
Wayne (Stillwater) [via mobile]
Mr. Ubbs, how do you see OSU doing in a potential SEC match up in the cotton bowl? Or even the PAC-12 Matchup in the Alamo bowl? Which is the better matchup for us and what would make a better game.
David Ubben (3:20 PM)
Very well. I'm excited about it. We haven't seen a really good Big 12 offense with that spread style in the Cotton Bowl in awhile.
Marty (Manhattan )
Who are you endorsing for Big Xll COY? Gotta be Snyder right? RIGHT?!?!?!
David Ubben (3:21 PM)
Most likely. If he loses this week, I may have to think about Gundy or Patterson.
Allan (Stillwater)
What are the odds that OSU loses to Baylor this weekend? How disappointing of an end would that be with such a solid team?
David Ubben (3:22 PM)
It's possible. Oklahoma State's got to be spent a bit after last week's game. OSU's the best team in this game, though. Clint Chelf should have a big day. It'll take an off day from the Pokes to lose it.
Abed Nadir (Greendale)
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being most interesting how would you rate this Big 12 season overall?
David Ubben (3:24 PM)
Ah, I'd say about an 8. It's been good. Not quite as crazy at the top as I thought it might be. Some surprises. Some disappointments. Good year.
W (Anaheim)
David - How much weight does a nickname carry in the Heisman race? Optimus Klein v. Johnny Football...Klein's got this all the way.
David Ubben (3:25 PM)
Not enough, folks.
thebigdroot (DTG's Closet)
If Landry Jones has another Saturday like the last 2 does he get any Heisman consideration? Let's say he throws for over 500yds and 4 TD's. Considering the WR struggles to start the year he has had a pretty darn good year. 6th in the nation for yards.
David Ubben (3:26 PM)
No Heisman nod, but if he does that against the Big 12's best defense at TCU, he'll have my attention. Depending on what Klein does, he might make the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year voting very interesting.
Chris(Woodward OK) [via mobile]
How worried should I be about Kent St snubbing my sooners out of the sugar bowl? If that happens can you see a cotton bowl matchup with LSU happening? I would love to play Florida or LSU. Get a lil payback for '03 or '08.
David Ubben (3:28 PM)
Better find a Northern Illinois hat ... and fast. Could very well see LSU in that game. It'd be fun. Rematch of the 2003 national title game.
AC (Dallas)
What does Baylor have to do to beat Okie State this weekend?
David Ubben (3:29 PM)
Force some turnovers and score in the red zone. That's what's absolutely killed them the past two years in Stillwater. They've come away empty down there and been sliced up by the OSU offense.
James H (West Virginia)
How can we talk Heisman and not mention Tavon Austin ?
David Ubben (3:29 PM)
I didn't earlier today. That 6-5 record is too much for him to get legitimate mention.
Dusty,VA [via mobile]
I know it is early but what are you predictions for next year in the Big 12? Seems like most teams are losing a lot..
David Ubben (3:30 PM)
A lot are. I think you'll see TCU and OSU be really strong. Maybe the favorites. OU will be right there, too. Texas should be on paper, but it's tough to have faith in the Longhorns these days. Can't "wait 'til next year" every year.
WreckEm711 (Lubbock)
Did we (Texas Tech) end up being who you thought we were? Or are you going to let us off the hook?
David Ubben (3:31 PM)
Haha. Nice. You weren't who I thought you were seven games in. That K-State game started it all. It's been a long, painful stay in Ouchtown for the Red Raiders these past few weeks.
Troy and Abed (In the Morning)
Tommy Tuberville said losing Jace Amaro took away 25-30% of Tech's offense. Was Amaro really that important or is Tubs making excuses?
David Ubben (3:32 PM)
I kind of buy it. I mean, Tech is deep at receiver, but they don't have a guy who can block like he can or be the force down the middle of the field that Amaro was. Darrin Moore's got good size in the red zone, but the Amaro loss was huge. Overlooked a little bit, in my opinion.
Art Briles (Waco)
Odds that I leave Waco for "greener" pastures?
David Ubben (3:33 PM)
You can never say never when it comes to this kind of things, but Briles believes he can do big things at Baylor, and I'd expect him to want to be around when the Bears open their new stadium in 2014.
Mike (College Station)
Hey David, Do you think we'll see a Aggie - Longhorn national championship game any time soon? With the Longhorns recently being a perennial almost team, and the Aggies coming into their own, what do you put the over/under at?
David Ubben (3:34 PM)
I'm not betting on it, but I know that would be the greatest championship game atmosphere of all-time. Can you imagine if it was played in Cowboys Stadium, too? I bet some tickets for that game would reach five digits. Not kidding at all.
Troy and Abed (In the Morning)
Which Big 12 teams will begin the 2013 season with the same starting QB who finished 2012?
David Ubben (3:36 PM)
Iowa State with Richardson. Texas with Ash. I think that may be it. I expect OSU to go back to Lunt. Pachall may return to TCU. It's Heaps' time at KU. Geno's gone at WVU and Michael Brewer and Blake Bell should take over at Tech and OU.
Jimmy (Arlington, Va)
If the Big 12 does expand; does it come down to the Maryland settlement; to see whether FSU and Clemson can join?
David Ubben (3:37 PM)
No doubt that will have a big effect. If the Terps leave for a reasonable number, I'd say it makes the odds FSU and Clemson leave much higher. Still, the ACC sounds like it believes that $50 million exit fee is iron clad.
Troy and Abed (In the Morning)
Which Big 12 team was most affected by a single injury this season?
David Ubben (3:38 PM)
Tough call. Does Pachall count at TCU? What about Klein at K-State? He didn't miss time, but he wasn't himself after the head injury at Oklahoma State. I'd probably go with the latter.
jay (oklahoma)
Ubbs, can you clear up a debate between a few of us here at work. Does kent state "steal" the big easts BCS bid if they finish higher than the big east champ, or do they turn one of the at large bids into an "auto" bid for themselves?
David Ubben (3:39 PM)
Turns one of the at-large bids into an auto bid. The Big East still gets its champion in the BCS.
David Ubben (3:39 PM)
I should clarify: Kent State only gets an automatic BCS bid if it finishes higher than the Big East champion AND in the top 16. They're currently No. 17 and play No. 21 Northern Illinois this week in the MAC title game.
Shaun (NJ)
How about an update on recruiting sometime this week?
David Ubben (3:40 PM)
It gets crazy during the season. Look for one after the season is over.
Baylor Respect (Arlington, VA)
What does Baylor have to do in the next two games to earn your respect back?
David Ubben (3:41 PM)
They won it at K-State. I picked 'em to win against Tech. Be competitive this week and win a bowl game? That's a pretty stinkin' good year when you consider what the Bears' lost from last year's team.
Charles (Savannah, GA)
Ubbs!!! You better not put OU on upset alert!!! How do you really see the bowls playing out if KSU, OU and Kent St. all win? Does the Sugar bowl really take Kent St.?
David Ubben (3:42 PM)
Doesn't have to be the Sugar Bowl, but there's no choice to be made. It's BCS rules. And stupid.
Jimmy (Arlington, Va)
How early does Tavon Austin get drafted?
David Ubben (3:43 PM)
Gotta be first round. He's too dangerous in the open field. If you've got offensive creativity, he can be a special player. He doesn't fit in a lot of NFL boxes, but you can find a spot for him to have big success.
Phil (Fort Worth)
Would you consider not putting a team on upset alert? What about potentially doing an opposite day and say which teams will not get upset. Switch it up.....
David Ubben (3:45 PM)
Haha, last time I did that, Baylor beat the heck out of K-State. I didn't think the Bears had a chance to keep that game within single digits. To their credit, they didn't.
RBF (Texas)
How good is 'The Walking Dead'?
David Ubben (3:47 PM)
Loving this season. Looking forward to the finale this week.
Nick (Waco) [via mobile]
Why is it that Art Briles can pull skill players out of his long sleeve shirt for a party trick but UT can't find a quarterback to save their life (and season, and careers)
David Ubben (3:48 PM)
The man has an eye for it. Texas' inability to find a quarterback has defined their recent mediocrity. No doubt about that. Briles can find and develop passers, and his offense is well-suited to their talents.
Nick (Waco) [via mobile]
Is Baylor's new stadium too small? The school is expanding with record freshman classes 3 years straight. The football team is getting more popular. However, the bears are getting a smaller stadium than Floyd Casey.
David Ubben (3:49 PM)
No, it's the right size. Baylor has issues selling out their current stadium. No sense in building a new, bigger one if you can't fill it. The school's getting bigger, but not that much bigger.
Dave (Austin)
Does Twill get the Biletnikoff? If not, what would it take for him to receive the award?
David Ubben (3:49 PM)
Going to be close between him and Marqise Lee. I'm not sure who I'm voting for yet. I go back and forth. A big day against good OSU corners will help his case.
Cowboy-KS (Orange Country )
Style Q - Let's get your gear selections out on the table. What kind of phone do you carry? What kind of laptop? Do you have a cellular modem for the laptop?
David Ubben (3:51 PM)
Haha. If I must. I go iPhone 4. No upgrades for me. Macbook Pro. And yes I have an AirCard.
BB (Manhattan)
Where do you see Arthur Brown being selected in the draft?
David Ubben (3:51 PM)
He's a little undersized, so I could see him falling to the second or third round. Still, with his IQ and speed, he's going to be very hard to turn down in the first down. We'll see more at the combine. His game tape won't lie. He's a stud.
Nick (IA)
Do you think Kirby Van Der Kamp (ISU Punter) will get the Ray Guy Award?
David Ubben (3:52 PM)
Sorry, nope. He's not a finalist.
Kris (Hollidaysburg, PA)
Team most affected by an injury was easily WVU. When they lost Shawn Alston after the first few weeks of the season, the running game was completely sporadic, and the offense stalled. No question.
David Ubben (3:54 PM)
That's a decent case. I don't think Alston's a game-breaking player, but his absence was felt in the pass blocking game and WVU had trouble getting tough yards. He'd be pretty high on my list.
Advisor [via mobile]
Ubbs, how many injuries, tipped passes, bad calls, etc has TTU had this year? Seriously, with a little luck we could be undefeated right?
David Ubben (3:55 PM)
Absolutely not. No idea where you get that. There have been some close losses, but the two Big 12 title contenders beat the heck out of Tech.
Phil (Fort Worth)
Devionte Fields is a Freshman All American right?And other Big 12 nominations?
David Ubben (3:57 PM)
Most definitely. He's going to be hard to unseat as the league's DPOY.
David Ubben (3:57 PM)
That's it for me today. Thanks for all the questions. See you next week.

Cycling with Rules of Thumb: An Experimental Test for a new form of Non-Transitive Behaviour

This paper tests a novel implication of the original version of prospect theory (Kahneman and Tversky, 1979): that choices may systematically violate transitivity. Some have interpreted this implication as a weakness, viewing it as an anomaly generated by the 'editing phase' of prospect theory which can be rendered redundant by an appropriate re-specification of the preference function. Although there is some existing evidence that transitivity fails descriptively, the particular form of non-transitivity implied by prospect theory is quite distinctive and hence presents an ideal opportunity to expose that theory to test. An experiment is reported which reveals strong evidence of the predicted intransitivity. It is argued that the existence of this new form of non-transitive behaviour presents a fresh theoretical challenge to those seeking descriptively adequate theories of choice behaviour, and a particular challenge to those who seek explanations within the conventional economic paradigm of utility maximisation.

eAutoclaims, Inc. provides Internet based vehicle collision claims services for insurance companies, managing general agents (MGA) and third party claims administrators (TPA) and self-insured automobile fleet management companies. The company accepts assignment of claims from its customers, and provides vehicle repairs through a network of repair shops. It also provides online systems to connect clients with service providers of estimates, audits and claims administration services for claims for which the company does not perform the repair. The company controls the vehicle repair process from the reporting of the accident through the satisfactory repair of damage. It has contracted with approximately 2,500 body shops throughout the United States to repair vehicles. These shops, referred to as its 'provider network,' provide the company a discount on the vehicle repair because of the volume of repairs the company provides to them. Products and Services The company develops customized Internet technology solutions for insurance companies, financial services companies, and companies with fleets of vehicles and heavy equipment. These products provide for both a business process outsource and/or application service provider (ASP) solution aligned with industry standards. The outsourcing solution provides customers with a complete Internet based managed claims solution from first notice of loss through the completion of the repair cycle leveraging its vendor and partner networks. The ASP solution allows the customer to use its Internet technology solutions independent of its personnel, enabling them to reduce their costs associated with developing, supporting, and maintaining a proprietary technology solution. The company's network of vendors and partners can provide services such as independent adjustors, car rentals, tow trucks, accident reporting and auto repair centers all available through its technology solutions. The ASP solution enables customers with their own network of vendors and partners to be integrated into its technology solutions. Outsourcing Solutions The company, in its outsourcing solution, handles the entire collision repair function for its customers from the time of reporting of the accident through the vehicle's satisfactory repair. Through its network of parts and repair service providers, the company is frequently able to obtain parts and services at lower costs than otherwise available. It monitors and audits all repair work to help assure that the proper repair work is performed at the negotiated price. These services include: centralized accident reporting, copies of accident reports, identifying the appropriate network repair facility and directing the policyholder to such facility, deliver repair estimates and photographs/digital images of damage to any location overnight or same day upload, audit of every claim by its in-house physical damage experts, assignment of independent field appraiser, when necessary, expedited delivery of part and materials as needed, computerized tracking and follow-up system to minimize repair time, replacement rental vehicles, and a lifetime guarantee from its network of repair shops (for as long as the insured owns the vehicle) on all physical damage body repairs and administration of manufacturer or installer's warranty on replacement parts. The company help its clients manage their vehicle claims losses by providing the following: Technology – The company builds customized Web-based vehicle claim assignment and delivery systems for insurance companies and corporate fleets. Additionally the company builds asset recovery and remarketing Web services, applications, and tools for the financial services institutional sector. In addition, the company utilizes digital cameras, smart phones, Internet communication, advanced data storage, transmission and scanners for auto repair shops that are not equipped with digital cameras, to create a defined audit trial and high capacity digital storage. The company provides these customized applications to its clients with their own private label that includes their corporate colors and logos, which makes the claims, recovery and remarketing process transparent to both insurance company personnel and the insured. Online, real time reporting: The company provides its customers with online, real-time reports of the most critical information used in their operations. These reports include a comparison of their average paid losses (cost to repair a vehicle), cycle time (time to complete an estimate of the damage), and lost adjustment expense (cost of the repair estimate or appraisal) between the eAutoclaims network, independent appraisers and staff appraisers. Audit Trail: The company audits every claim that comes into its network. This helps the company delivers the lowest available audited cost to its clients on every repair. Customers The company's customers consist primarily of insurance companies, financial institutions, managing general agents (MGAs), third party administrators (TPAs) and managers of self-insured automobile fleets. Its customers include Mitchell International, Vision and Fireman's Fund Insurance. History eAutoclaims, Inc. was founded in 1995. The company was formerly known as eAutoclaims.com, Inc. and changed its name to eAutoclaims, Inc. in 2004.

Man charged with DUI; child crueltyNovember 06,2013Crash triggers
charge of cruelty
FAIR HAVEN A Minnesota man charged with drunken driving after a crash in a fast-food drive-thru has also been charged with cruelty to a child because a 3-year-old was in the car, police said.
Curtis C. Labande, 22, of Crosby, Minn., was arrested Halloween night after Fair Haven Police were called to the McDonalds restaurant on Washington Street.
A breath test indicated that Labandes blood-alcohol level was .144 percent, police said. The legal limit for driving in Vermont is .08 percent.
Labande was cited to appear in Rutland criminal court at a later date.MORE IN This Just In

Hi there,
I would like to disable this plugin on a specific page, so that the
[gallery] shortcode displays the default WordPress gallery, i.e. a grid of thumbnails linking to full-size images.
I tried removing the plugin files from the footer using the code below in my functions.php, but that still loads the html, just doesn't display the images...
add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'my_deregister_javascript', 100 );
function my_deregister_javascript() {

Hope someone can help!

I've got an office of about 50 people in Manhattan. Pretty simple IT infrastructure: a couple of Windows servers, about 60 PC's running XP or Win7, and some networking hardware to hold it all together.
What I don't have is an IT guy.
Seems like 2/3 of my IT needs are end-user support: set up or move a computer, remove malware, set up user accounts, troubleshoot some failing program, sit on the phone with Dell to convince them that yes, this user's mobo is toast, please come replace it.
The other 1/3 is infrastructure growth: backups, security, network performance, remote user support, AD config, etc.
The challenge is that there's not really enough work to keep anyone busy full time -- but when something does come up, it often requires very quick response.
Has anyone had success with an outsourced IT company? When do you give in and hire a full-time IT guy -- and at what level?

DuPont shares soared to their highest point in more than 13 years Wednesday, after a report that activist investor Nelson Peltz of Trian Fund Management has bought up a significant stake in the company.
During a presentation at the Delivering Alpha conference, CNBC reported that it learned through unnamed sources that Peltz is amassing a big stake in DuPont. The conference is presented by CNBC and Institutional Investor.
Peltz would neither confirm nor deny the report.
"You asked me in the green room about 10 minutes ago," Peltz said to the interviewer. "'If you say DuPont, what comes to mind?' Remember what I told you? I said paint ... That is all you are going to get."
Delaware-based DuPont is a diversified science and technology company that makes agriculture products, consumer electronics items and, of course, paint.
Trian had no stake in E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co. as of March, according its most recent filing with the SEC on its holdings. There is often a lag time between when an investor buys a more than 5 percent stake in a company and when that information is made public through U.S. Securities and Exchange filings.
Trian declined to comment. Dupont spokesman Mike Hanretta said the company does not comment on rumors and speculation.
Shares of DuPont jumped $2.87, or 5.3 percent, to close at $57.25. Its shares hit as high as $57.68 in the hours before closing, the highest point since April 2000 for the Dow Jones industrial average component.

R.D. Olson Opens New Orange County Hotels
Wednesday August 7th, 2013 - 10:52AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
TUSTIN, CA—Almost one year after breaking ground, R.D. Olson Development has opened a pair of Orange County hotels in the $60-million Tustin Pacific Center, which includes a 149-suite Residence Inn and a 145-room Fairfield Inn & Suites.
R.D. Olson and Martelli Investments will retain ownership of the hotels, with Marriott International providing management services. R.D. Olson Construction completed the project 30 days ahead of schedule, allowing Marriott's management team head start in organizing the opening of the two hotels. Olson purchased the 8.38-acre parcel from the City of Tustin in 2011 with plans to deliver the first new hotels to the Tustin area in more than 15 years.
The new Fairfield Inn & Suites showcases Marriott's latest Generation 4 design, which offers vibrant public spaces. Guestrooms provide ample work areas, contemporary bathrooms and conveniences such as a microwave, coffee maker and refrigerator. The Residence Inn features Marriott's latest in-room design. The new Generation 9 suites are designed with fully equipped kitchens, workspaces and sectional sofas.
"I think we have the best brands in the market," stated Bob Olson, CEO and founder of R.D. Olson Development. "Both of these hotels promise the utmost in guest experience with an exceptionally well-thought and balanced approach to the varied needs of today's business and leisure travelers. The Residence Inn offers an excellent extended stay lodging choice, and Fairfield Inn & Suites is a competitive, high quality hotel in its own right."
The art in the hotel's public spaces celebrates Tustin's history while guestrooms are adorned with lifestyle images of Orange County's beach communities. Gene Fong Associates designed Tustin Pacific Center, with interior architecture by Johnson Braund Design Group, Inc.
The hotels offer a full complement of amenities, including outdoor gathering areas with fire pits, swimming pools and spas, exercise rooms, a sport court, convenience markets, breakfast areas, business centers, guest laundry facilities and meeting space that can accommodate groups of up to 200 people.

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

Asanko is among the most undervalued gold stocks in the entire world; the combined company will have $280 million in cash and a $150 million debt facility for total available capital of $430 million. Did I mention the combined company would only have a market cap of $363 million?
- With a massive resource base of more than 7 million ounces of gold, the market is placing a value on each ounce of just $13! (Producer peers average more than $100 an ounce).
- In addition, management and insiders own approximately 12 percent of the company.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
what happens when there is no tax loss selling?
Sentiment: Strong Buy
CASH value $2.18
book value higher
Any gold price decline shouldn't have much impact on its current stock price as CASH is CASH with no debt
any reversal of gold price should have POSITIVE impact on this stock price as it raises the profitability
Sentiment: Strong Buy
All elements for a rally is here. The catalyst might be:
#1, hedge fund taking a position
#2, quarterly sales announcement(is we check back last CC, ceo was talking about the momentum in the business)
#3, Open to explore the sales of the company
#4,Business expanding to China
Sentiment: Strong Buy
for a test, when the bid and ask was at 1.31x1.32, I placed an order to buy 1000 shares at 1.33, only 100 shares filled in the last 5 minutes. The selling is almost over
Sentiment: Strong Buy
On December 20, 2013, James K. Malernee, Jr., PhD notified MRI Interventions, Inc. (the "Company") of his decision to resign as a member of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") effective as of December 31, 2013. Dr. Malernee also serves as a member of the Board's Audit Committee and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. Having served as a director of the Company since March 2010, Dr. Malernee elected to step down from the Board simply to give a new director candidate, Maria Sainz, who has extensive management and operations experience in the medical device industry, the opportunity to serve as a member of the Board. Accordingly, Dr. Malernee's resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the Company, its management or its operations, policies or practices.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
from last CC:
We have previously stated that if we need additional funds to get our ClearPoint neuro business to break-even, our plan would be to obtain the funding through debt, and not so equity as we do not want the additional dilution at the current stock price, reiterate that position again on this call
#1 most advanced innovation in surgery application LIVE MRI
#2 Five of the 10 best hospitals in the nation already use the product
#3 NASDAQ listing maybe near
#4 market cap less than $100 millions, could go $billions
#5 Business accelerating
#6 acquisition target
#7 directors buying all the time
#8 tax loss selling to end
#9 BIG FISH will play this one sooner or later
$10 in a year
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Need something from the company. TC is too weak. He might like the beating.
Man, fight back! Are you a man??
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I also made mistake betting something would come out in annual meeting, and made mistake again to bet the company would do something after the stock broke $435 bottom.
The good thing is that I was buying gradually and thus I have more cash available than what I was already in.
To be safe, I would still buy gradually when it goes down and stop buying when it goes up.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
The big problem is that the management doesn't know how to deal with the street.
Street is a crooked place. They need wisdom. Not pain s. like TC.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Forget AAPL at $700. AAPL is at $420 now, is AAPL undervalued now? the answer is yes.
Can AAPL go even lower? yes. Where is the absolute bottom? no one knows.
Is it good enough to buy at current level? Absolutely.
The logic plan is: divide the money left into 3
Buy 1 now.
if it goes down another 10%, buy another 1;
if it goes down 20%($340)(it will not happen if the whole market doesn't crash), buy another 2.
Then you are done. Close the book. Check back in one year.

APPL was way oversold at previous $435 low. Then when it broke that low last Friday, a normal CEO would do whatever it took to support the bottom.
Over whole weekend, this guy did nothing. Only 30 minutes left for him to do something.
He likes pain?
Sentiment: Strong Buy
But does he enjoy the pain? why no action??
Sentiment: Strong Buy
The question is: who is able to take AAPL private?
#1 Black rock
#2 Warren Buffet
#3 ....
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Thank you!
That was in last December.

One of the world's leading medical researchers and science
communicators, Lord Robert Winston, will visit Dunedin today
and speak to school pupils and University of Otago
postgraduate students.
Lord Winston is professor of science and society and emeritus
professor of fertility studies at Imperial College, London.
He has been the presenter of many BBC television series,
including Superhuman, Child of Our Time and the
Bafta-award winner The Human Body.
Gravida, the Auckland University-based national centre for
growth and development, has invited him to New Zealand to
speak to educational groups in Auckland.
His visit to Dunedin is hosted by Genetics Otago, whose
director, University of Otago biochemist Peter Dearden, is
also a member of Gravida's executive team.
Genetics Otago manager Sophia McKay was ''glad'' some school
pupils and university students would be able to hear from
Lord Winston, in his only speaking visit outside Auckland
during his New Zealand trip.
He will lunch with Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull and Otago
University vice-chancellor Harlene Hayne and later talk to
500 senior secondary school pupils from many schools, at
Otago Boys' High School, at 1pm.
He will later talk to Otago genetics postgraduate students.
Lord Winston, a surgeon and specialist in human fertility,
has pioneered treatments to improve in vitro fertilisation
and developed pre-implantation diagnosis.
