Tai-ler Jones, a wide receiver at Gainesville (Ga.) High, committed to Stanford this afternoon. North Carolina had been in the running for Jones, who also had offers from Georgia, Alabama, Notre Dame, Ohio State and UCLA, among others.
Jones and his father visited Stanford last week over his spring break, and the player came back with his mind made up, he told Gainesville coach Bruce Miller.
"He's doing it for more than football; he's not one of those kids who comes out of high school already thinking about the NFL," Miller said. "He wants to be a sportscaster after college."
But Jones can play. He had 81 catches for 1,000 yards as a junior, with 15 TDs. And Miller said, "He runs the most precise routes of any kid I've ever seen."
*Gainesville has another big-timer in 6-3, 195-pound DB Daunte Carr, who has offers from Duke, East Carolina, N.C. State, South Carolina and Wake Forest among others, and is also interested in Clemson.

Upstate carpet fiber plant closing; 170 to lose jobs
Published: Tuesday, December 2, 2008 at 11:23 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 2, 2008 at 11:24 a.m.
ANDERSON, S.C. (AP) -- An Anderson County plant that makes carpet fibers is closing at the end of January, leaving 170 workers without a job.
The Anderson Independent-Mail reports that Shaw Industries Group Inc. officials said they are shutting down the plant because the slowing of the housing market means less demand for carpet. But the company says it has expanded production at other plants.
Shaw Human Resources Director Al Scruggs says some workers may be able to get jobs at other plants, but he didn't know how many positions would be open.
The company says the plant that is closing mostly made fibers for a different facility in Anderson County.

Boart Longyear Expects Strong Demand as Miners Continue Projects
Boart Longyear Ltd., the world's biggest provider of mineral drilling services, expects demand to remain strong as large mining companies proceed with projects.
"We still see very strong demand, particularly from the majors," Craig Kipp, chief executive officer of the Salt Lake City, Utah-based company, told reporters today in Sydney. "We haven't heard from a lot of the majors outside of Australia that there's a change in their plans or in their budgets."
Mining companies will probably boost exploration spending as much as 15 percent this year from a record $18.2 billion last year, Halifax, Nova Scotia-based Metals Economics Group said in a March report.
"We haven't seen any change in market dynamics - we're operating all over the world," Kipp said. "We do see that juniors, the second-tiers, have had problems getting financing."
Kipp's comments comes after Jac Nasser, chairman of BHP Billiton Ltd., the world's biggest mining company, said yesterday the company won't meet its target of spending $80 billion on new mines and asset expansions over the next five years. BHP expects commodity prices to decline, Nasser said. Prices have fallen 12 percent from this year's high in February, according to the Standard & Poor's GSCI Spot Index of 24 raw materials.
Boart Longyear forecasts $460 million in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization this year. The shares rose as much as 4.5 percent to A$3.26 and traded at A$3.19 as of 1 p.m. in Sydney. The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index fell 0.6 percent.

Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Scientists have demonstrated techniques that reorder genetic information so thoroughly they have succeeded in creating genomically recoded organisms (GROs). They began by replacing all known UAG stop codons in E. coli with synonymous UAA codons. Not content with this tour de force, they then removed every occurrence of 13 different sense codons across 42 separate E. coli genes and attempted to reshuffle all the remaining codons. When they were done, 24% of the DNA across the 42 targeted genes had been changed. The proteins the genes produced, however, remained identical to those produced by the original genes.
In assessing the significance of this work, the scientists explained that such extensive genetic engineering could lead to GROs capable of synthesizing proteins that incorporate nonstandard amino acids, offering considerably expanded chemical capabilities. Also, GROs could be engineered to be isolated from nature. Such organisms could better resist viral infections, for example, or be incapable of surviving outside the laboratory.
The scientists detailed their work in two papers published October 17 in Science. The paper describing the work with the stop codons is entitled "Genomically Recoded Organisms Expand Biological Functions." The paper describing the work with sense codons is entitled "Probing the Limits of Genetic Recoding in Essential Genes."
Both studies reflect the leadership of George M. Church, Ph.D., the Robert Winthrop Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and founding core faculty member at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering. Dr. Church's lab is credited with developing the technologies that made it possible to create the GROs. Among these technologies are the MAGE and CAGE genome editing tools.
MAGE, or multiplex automated genome engineering, was used to swap out E. coli's stop codons. Using a piecemeal approach, the scientists created 32 bacterial strains that had only some, not all, of their UAG stop codons substituted with UAA. Every possible substitution, however, was made in at least one of the strains. Then, the bacteria in the different strains were allowed to swap their genes with each other. This swapping was arranged to occur systematically, through the application of CAGE, or conjugative assembly genome engineering.
Besides using CAGE to arrive at a GRO that had every UAG substituted with a UAA, the scientists removed release factor 1, a protein that recognized the UAG codon and terminates translation. This change was crucial because it permits the reassignment of the UAG codon's function.
After assessing their newly created GRO, the scientists said that it exhibited improved properties for incorporation of nonstandard amino acids. Also, it "exhibited increased resistance to T7 bacteriophage, demonstrating that new genetic codes could enable increased viral resistance."
Moving on from this success, the scientists set the sights even higher. "The first project is saying that we can take one codon, completely remove it from the genome, then successfully reassign its function," said Marc Lajoie, a Harvard Medical School graduate student in the lab of George Church. "For the second project we asked, 'OK, we've changed this one codon, how many others can we change?'"
Of the 13 codons chosen for the second project, all could be changed. "That leaves open the possibility that we could potentially replace any or all of those 13 codons throughout the entire genome," Lajoie said. The authors of the second paper, however, conceded that while codon usage was malleable, synonymous codons occasionally demonstrated nonequivalence, in unpredictable ways. This result, the authors added, "[underscores] the importance of a strategy that rapidly prototypes and tests many designs in small pieces."
Together, the two studies suggest not only the power of altering large swaths of genomic material all at once, but the advantages of leveraging the power of natural selection itself. "When an engineering team designs a new cellphone, it's a huge investment of time and money. They really want that cell phone to work," Dr. Church said. "With E. coli we can make a few billion prototypes with many different genomes, and let the best strain win. That's the awesome power of evolution."

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

Festivities were first started by the Wodeyar King, Raja Wodeyar I (1578-1617 CE) in the year 1610. The Mysore Palace is lit up on all the 10 days of Dasara. The festivities begin with the Wodeyar royal couple performing a special puja to Goddess Chamundeshwari in the Chamundi Temple located on the top of Chamundi Hill at Mysore. This would be followed by a special durbar (royal assembly). It was during the reign of Krishnaraja Wodeyar III in the year 1805, when the king started the tradition of having a special durbar in the Mysore Palace during Dasara, which was attended by members of the royal family, special invitees, officials and the masses. This tradition has been continued even now with the current scion of the Wodeyar family, Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wodeyar holding a private durbar during Dasara. The ninth day of Dasara called as Mahanavami is also an auspicious day on which the royal sword is worshipped and is taken on a procession involving elephants, camels and horses.
On Vijayadashami, the traditional Dasara procession (locally known as Jamboo Savari) is held on the streets of Mysore city. The main attraction of this procession is the idol of the Goddess Chamundeshwari which is placed in a golden howdah on the top of a decorated elephant. This idol is worshipped by the royal couple and other invitees before it is taken around in the procession. Colourful tableaux, dance groups, music bands, armed forces, folklores, the royal identities, decorated elephants, horses and camels form a part of the procession which starts from the Mysore Palace and culminates at a place called Bannimantap, where the Banni tree (Prosopis spicigera) is worshipped. According to a legend of the Mahabharata, Banni tree was used by the Pandavas to hide their arms during their one-year period of Agnatavasa (living life incognito). Before undertaking any warfare, the kings traditionally worshipped this tree to help them emerge victorious in the war. The Dasara festivities would culminate on the night of Vijayadashami with an event held in the grounds at Bannimantap called as Panjina Kavayithu (torch-light parade).
Another major attraction during Dasara is the Dasara exhibition which is held in the exhibition grounds opposite to the Mysore Palace. This exhibition starts during Dasara and goes on till December. Various stalls which sell items like clothes, plastic items, kitchenware, cosmetics and eatables are set up and they attract a significant amount of people. A Game area containing attractions like Ferris-wheel is also present to provide entertainment to the people. Various Governmental agencies setup stalls to signify the achievements and projects that they have undertaken.

If you are seeing a lot of annoying markings on this web page (empty boxes, or black diamonds containing question marks), please go to the "view" menu of your browser, select "character/text encoding," and then chose "Western (Windows)" and this page miraculously will look nice and neat. If you do not have "Western (Windows)" as an option, any other "Western" setting will be much better than the default "Unicode" (although I recommend switching back to "Unicode" after leaving this page-- since leaving it at a "Western" setting supposedly weakens the security of your browser).
If you ever tried to send me messages to firstname.lastname@example.com, I am unlikely to have read them. That address tends to fill with spam, and it freezes up when it gets overfull. If you have any questions about this course, please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com instead. Although, I do sometimes find important messages from my students in my spam folder for that address too, so it's not perfect either. #sigh# Lately, I have been attempting to use a new account ( firstname.lastname@example.com ) exclusively for communicating with students and other faculty and staff here at CCSF, but I admit that I only check that address every few days.
I do not require students to check in when they register. You do not have to email me before the semester starts, but please feel free to ask a question.
The textbook for the course is the 6th edition of "The Essential Cosmic Perspective" (not the full length version that lacks the word "essential" in the title, and not any of the five earlier editions of the same name), by Bennett, Donahue, Schneider, and Voit (ISBN # 978-0-32-171536-4). It is available in a cheaper loose leaf binder version as well as regular paperback, and it is cheapest and most efficient to purchase an electronic copy.
Important Notice #1: This course requires a mid-term exam and a final exam that must be taken in person at the CCSF main campus. (Multiple times for taking these exams will be offered, so personal scheduling is not likely to be a concern as long as you are in the Bay Area during the mid-term and finals weeks.) Please do not enroll in this course if you cannot attend exams in mid-March and mid-May.
I plan to hold two optional but highly recommended orientations in Rosenberg Library Room 414:
Wednesday, January 20th, from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM, and
Saturday, January 23rd, from 12:00 noon to 1:30 PM
Simply joining the class without any orientation is okay, but a majority of students do experience problems or suffer confusion-- especially regarding the course structure and expectations-- that an in-person orientation would reduce. (An uncomfortably large number of students who miss orientation discover that they are doing things wrongly or inefficiently only long after the course begins. I have considered making orientation an absolute requirement because of this, but I know that not all students can make it to campus that day. But please attend if you can.)
As soon as the new semester starts, you may begin the course on your own, regardless of whether you plan to attend the optional orientation. You will be emailed instructions how to login to CCSF's new Insight system. If you have not received these instructions by Tuesday, January 19th, you most likely are not checking the account that CCSF has on file as your email address. Unless you have set it up otherwise, the default is the "mail.ccsf.edu" address assigned to you by the college, so please be sure to check that for messages. I also often will use your CCSF email address for sending important announcements to the class, and for communicating with individual students.
Important Notice #2: This course is "front loaded" in the sense that students are expected to work hard right away, but have less work in the last week of the semester (which is the opposite of most college courses). We will start working at a rather fast pace, from which it will be difficult to catch up if you begin the class more than a few days late. Because of this, and because I usually have a very long list of additional students waiting to get in if space is available, I may drop you from the course if you do not access the class and begin work within the first six days.
If you are waitlisted:
If the class already has started and you want to add it late: Until 2014, this class always started off absolutely full and with a very long official wait list. But if CCSF continues to suffer from low enrollment, then many openings are likely to appear during the add/drop period. Please wait until after January 24th to email me at my preferred email address (see above), and I can let you know your prospects. Given how many no-shows and drops normally occur right off the bat, I will be surprised if I cannot find room for everyone who is willing to wait patiently for space to open. My only concern-- and, after two weeks, this becomes a very big concern-- is that you'd be getting a late start to fast-paced course.
I look forward to meeting everyone-- either on line or in person-- as this course takes off!

Whether its trucks, trains or cars, Amarillo's Eastridge neighborhood has had enough.
The City Commission heard all about traffic issues at Tuesday's meeting, which was at Eastridge Elementary School. The meeting was the seventh meeting the city has conducted away from City Hall in an attempt to reach residents and hear neighborhood concerns. Eastridge Principal Linda Vaughn asked for increased policing to stop speeders during student drop off and pick up times.
"There are days we have to all but stand out in the street as a guard," Vaughn said, adding drivers typically go more than 35 mph despite the 20 mph school zone.
Another resident asked the city to install signs to discourage truck drivers from parking 18-wheelers on residential streets and increase enforcement. City Manager Alan Taylor said it was illegal for truckers to park on residential streets - he actually spotted two on his way to the meeting - and that he would work on the issue.
One resident, of the fewer than 10 whoo attended the meeting, asked for extra police enforcement on cars that are parking on sidewalks in the neighborhood. Taylor also responded to comments regarding trains blocking 24th Avenue. Taylor said he would speak with Xcel, which uses the track to supply coal to its Harrington Station.
City staff will report back to the City Commission in two weeks on how to address the problems discussed by residents.
In other business, commissioners approved a $4.7 million contract with Southland Contracting Inc. for the second phase of a sewer project.
The first phase, which cost about $4 million, currently is under way and is the construction of a lift station to replace two older lift stations. The second phase involves construction of new gravity sewer lines and a force main under Wolflin Avenue and South Georgia Street. Only one lane of traffic will be closed at any time, Taylor said.
City commissioners also purchased their first 107-foot ladder fire truck. The $700,000 will be placed at the remodeled central fire station. The ladder will reach about nine or 10 floors and be used downtown.
The city is expected to purchase four more fire trucks next week.

In doing so, you give him use of the account with no legal obligation for the incurred debt.
I think it is a very questionable legal defense to assert fraud on his part for using the authorization he was given.
The issue of whether calls to the creditor closed or did not close his access to the account is a matter that needs to be worked out between you and the creditor, and if unresolved, then possibly a judge.
The issue of his opening other accounts in your name is quite a different matter. He fraudulently used your identity to open accounts not authorized by you.
The FCRA gives specific and powerful remedy for such identity theft. You just need to assert, not prove, the reported information is related to potential identity theft.
First, simply file a police report, and then mail a copy to the CRA, along with proof of your identity, and they MUST, under FCRA 605B, exclude the asserted identity theft information from your credit report. Credit reporting impact of those accounts thus gone.
Second, send a copy of the police report to the OC, and request under the provisions of FCRA 609(e), all of their internal business records pertaining to those accounts.
A powerful mini-discovery right without need for any court order. Armed with that information, you can then mount a factual basis for their CR deletion as inaccurate reporting of information under your name. In the interim, the 605B block has already barred inclusion in your credit report, so ultimate deletion from your credit file is not so pressing.

Ecological niche modeling (ENM) has become an important tool in conservation biology. Despite its recent success, several basic issues related to algorithm performance are still being debated. We assess the ability of two of the most popular algorithms, GARP and Maxent, to predict distributions when sampling is geographically biased. We use an extensive data set collected in the Brazilian Cerrado, a biodiversity hotspot in South America. We found that both algorithms give richness predictions that are very similar to other traditionally used richness estimators. Also, both algorithms correctly predicted the presence of most species collected during fieldwork, and failed to predict species collected only in very few cases (usually species with very few known localities, i.e., <5). We also found that Maxent tends to be more sensitive to sampling bias than GARP. However, Maxent performs better when sampling is poor (e.g., low number of data points). Our results indicates that ENM, even when provided with limited and geographically biased localities, is a very useful technique to estimate richness and composition of unsampled areas. We conclude that data generated by ENM maximize the utility of existing biodiversity data, providing a very useful first evaluation. However, for reliable conservation decisions ENM data must be followed by well-designed field inventories, especially for the detection of restricted range, rare species.

I Compare and Rate Six Western Europe Travel Guides.
J. E. Robinson
on February 19, 2004
Format: Paperback
I have chosen to rate 6 guides for Europe. I think there are a variety of guides. In general there are four "layers" of detail in the books on the market. There are the (1) Europe guides (reviewed here), (2) the single country guides, (3) the city guides and then (4) a variety of specialty guides such as Eurail rail guides, hiking, budget Europe, camping, restaurants, wine country, mountains, gay and lesbian guides, etc. At my bookstore there are 3 large racks of books on Europe. I have selected 6 of what seems to be the best selling guides or guides that I thought might be of general interest, and gave them my own personal ranking - just for category (1) - Europe overview. Five are very popular, one less so.
What I am looking for is a quick overview - not every tiny detail. Europe is too big and you should by a guide on France if you are going mainly to France. I think the books with photos are better since they allow you to get a better idea of the places that you might want to visit - while you plan the trip. A picture is worth 1000 words. So one might want to buy the guide before calling a travel agent.
First Choice - Good Pick
Eyewitness Europe by DK - $21.
It is 800 pages long and ranks about 11,400 on the Amazon.com sales ranking. It has all the basic stuff such as maps, food guides, accommodations, places to see, travel tips, culture, museums, history, etc. plus it has outstanding visuals. Many excellent color photos and maps. It is a good introduction and overview and makes for a beautiful souvenir. Just an outstanding and beautiful book.
Second Choice - Good Pick.
Michelin The Green Guide - Europe, 2e - $14.
This is not a popular book on Amazon.com. It rates a distant 344,544 on the sales rank and is just 540 pages long. But is very much like the DK guide. It gives an excellent overview and introduction with many photos. It is excellent for planning a trip and it is not a big book. It is a well made book with a tough and durable cover, easy to carry 5 x 9" x 0.9" thick and with lots of detail, many maps and photos. Some of the other guides are 1.85" thick.
Tied For Third - Okay Not Great
Lonely Planet Western Europe Sixth Edition ($19.59) and Lets Go 2004:Europe ($17.49)
These two are more general books with lots of text and maps. In many ways these books are similar but the latter book covers more countries. The first is 1150 pages and ranks 7,246 in Amazon.com sales, while the second book is just under 1100 pages and ranks 3,173 in sales, and is one of the more popular guides. These books include lots of detail - but unfortunately with just a limited number of photos. These two books have more detail than the first two books - but almost no photos in comparison. For myself I would like to have more photos, and even with 1100 pages one will have to buy a country book so skip these thick heavy books - I would buy one of the shorter books above (DK or Michelin) plus a country book such as Eyewitness France or Michelin Guide France etc. Lonely Planet has a series including the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe similar to this western Europe version. Both books are very thick close to 2" thick. In theory you could buy three Europe guides from Lonely Planet.
Fourth Place - Skip This Book
Rick Steve's Best of Europe 2004 - $17.47
This book uses an informal approach written by one person - Rick Steve - to take you through some of the more interesting places in Europe. The way I view this book is that it is like sitting down with a friend and he lays out the key things to see and do and then makes hand sketches of different cities etc. Having said that, the book is detailed and long - being 1200 pages long and ranks 5,352. on theAmazon.com sales ranking.
The book contains a lot of text description of interesting things to see with hand sketches and hand drawn maps to give a friendly feel - all in black and white. It includes walking tours with comments plus places to eat and hotels. It does not contain a lot of maps or any photos. He does not present lists of accommodations and restaurants. He pre-screens those and gives just a limited selection on where to stay and where to dine. There is definitely some novelty factor in the presentation. Also it is another thick book.
Fifth and Last - Does Not Compete
Frommer Europe 2004 - $16.09
This is a "conventional" travel book that covers most of Europe in 1070 pages and ranks 8,361 on the Amazon.com sales ranking. As a bonus it includes a Eurail map that detached from the back cover. The book is written by a team of authors (committee).
It is a guide to Europe. It does not plan your trip but rather goes from places to places in a formula approach giving a summary of things to see, a local map, and it lists places of interest, some history, restaurants, entertainment, and accommodations. It is a comprehensive approach - somewhat - formal and lacks any photos, i.e.: no photos, just text and some maps. That is why I rate it last. Thick but mainly just text. It is similar but not as good as the third ranking pair.
My humble opinion. Jack in Toronto

Flu activity in Tennessee is picking up in this state, particularly among young and middle-age adults.
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found the predominant strain this year is H1N1, the same strain responsible for the 2009 pandemic.
Nationally, 1,156 flu-associated hospitalizations have been confirmed since Oct. 1, but many hospitalizations can be prevented by vaccination. The CDC estimates that about 1,600 hospitalizations were prevented in Tennessee last year.
Several versions of the vaccine are available including one being offered for the first time that guards against four different flu strains. Traditional vaccines guard against three strains.
There is also a high-dose version and a preservative-free one.
The CDC recommends vaccination for anyone 6 months or older.

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
French firm Enterome raised €5 million in a series A financing round co-led by Seventure Partners and Lundbeckfond Ventures. Seventure was one of the investors in Enterome's prior €1.5 million seed financing round. The Paris-based firm is developing biomarkers and drugs for diseases that feature abnormal gut flora composition, including NASH (nonalcoholic steatohepatitis), type 2 diabetes, obesity, and inflammatory bowel disorders such as Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis. Lead programs are in the fields of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and inflammatory bowel diseases.
Funds from the Series A round will be used primarily to validate Enterome's biomarkers and commercialize them as laboratory-developed diagnostic services in the U.S. and EU. The firm also plans to set up collaborations with the pharmaceutical and nutrition industries.
The gut flora technology was initially developed at the INRA (Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique) by Enterome's scientific founder Dusko Ehrlich, who also heads the European metaHIT consortium. "We are particularly pleased to see one of our main research assets being translated into a company and financed by an international group of intestors," comments Gerard Jacquin, president of the INRA's technology transfer arm, INRA Transfert, which participated with Seventure in Enterome's seed funding round. "Enterome is a key element in our Metagenopolis organization, a center for excellence in metagenomics of the human gut microbiota developed at INRA."
Enterome claims it has developed one of the most advanced and clinically validated biomarker platforms to study the role of gut microbiota in health and disease. The firm's founders have identified and patented biomarkers originating from metagenomic signatures that are associated with disease progression or predicting drug efficacy. Enterome aims to develop diagnostic and therapeutic candidates as well as combined treatment-companion diagnostic combinations.

Every year, I write a column two weeks into the season, and every year, I try to find a new way to say that this is the most dangerous time to be trading. There are enough stats now that they feel indicative, even though they aren't. People are ready to abandon their preseason assumptions, which can be a good or bad thing. And then there are the standings, which couldn't mean less right now.
I've tried extended metaphors, cigarette-label-style warnings, and even a complex rebus but I'm still not sure people understand that patience is a virtue. But that got me thinking: Does patience necessarily mean trading is verboten? What if it actually means that now is the time to trade for the virtue of patience and to target those owners who have the most compelling reasons to be impatient?
Casing the joint
Let's start with the impatient group since they can't wait. The first thing you have to ask yourself before you make any offer is "Why would they do this?" Even if the answer comes back with more plot holes than a Michael Bay film, you have to have some reason to believe they'll want the deal. Thus, I want you to look at your league's standings and immediately rule out making offers to any team in the top three or four for this week unless one of those owners has suffered a subtle but substantial head injury.
But when you look at the other end of the standings, especially in roto leagues, you find some people who may consider "prudence" to be nothing more than a character from a Beatles song. Find that last-place team's worst category and pick at it like it's a scab. Make sure you point out that they don't want to go into May with that kind of gaping deficit. Prey upon the fact that the only thing they are lacking more than roto points is patience.
On another front, while most stats don't mean a thing this early, there are some numbers that are leading indicators, and one of them involves a different kind of patience. When a player shows a marked increase in his willingness to work counts and prioritize getting on-base, that's a change in approach. Sure, it may lead to a few more strikeouts, but at the end of the day, it usually results in better at-bats and more time on base. Then again, when a player who has shown patience at the dish before suddenly starts swinging earlier in the count, that's not what I'm looking for.
So this week, rather than focusing too much on a player's results, I'm looking at players whose patience has me ready to act, one way or another.
Three I'm stealing
Fred Lewis, OF, Giants: Lewis strikes out too much for someone with such limited pop, but that doesn't hurt you as a fantasy owner. However, you can't ignore the fact that Lewis is second the majors in pitches per plate appearance. Unless Lewis is really Barry Bonds in disguise, his OBP isn't staying better than .500, but he's taking more walks and he certainly has enough speed to turn all those trips to first into 20 or more steals during this season. In mixed leagues, he's likely free on the waiver wire, but in NL-only formats, he's a guy I'd start sniffing around.
Daniel Murphy, OF, Mets: With fewer than 180 total at-bats in The Show, Murphy doesn't have a lot of hard data behind the buzz he has created by winning a starting gig. He has established a good approach at the plate, though, with 21 walks and 34 strikeouts in his young career. Forget the notion he has to develop patience, because Murphy already has it at age 24: He tops the majors in terms of pitches per plate appearance. Murphy will take some walks this year, and on a team as offensively potent as the Mets, that will lead to runs coming in bunches.
Akinori Iwamura, 2B, Rays: Iwamura has been a solid on-base guy since he arrived in the United States, with a very respectable .354 mark in his first two seasons. However, he has posted only 20 steals over those same two seasons despite being on a team that loves to run. This year, he seems determined to up his walk total, ranking in the top 10 of pitches per plate appearance, but it's the four steals in his first 12 games that I'm liking most. A year ago, he was a hot commodity who underperformed. This year, he's under the radar and attainable, even in AL-only leagues.
Three I'm dealing
J.D. Drew, OF, Red Sox: It pains me to say it as a Sox fan, but he has not looked right this year. His hallmark is his willingness to take a walk in any situation, even to the detriment of his team. But before Friday's games, Drew ranked 145th in the majors in terms of pitches per plate appearance, and when he does wait at the plate, it's turning into K's. Throw in the ever-present risk of chronic injury and he's officially a guy whom I'm offering around like the shrimp platter at a cocktail party.
Miguel Tejada, SS, Astros: I don't know whether the swallows have returned to Capistrano, but it must be spring because I'm talking smack about Miguel Tejada. We all know he's in a player in decline, but do your leaguemates realize just how steep it is? We're talking about five years of falling homer totals, from 34 in 2004 to 13 a year ago. He's coming off a 2008 when he took only 24 walks, the fewest he's amassed in any season in which he's played in 100 or more games. This year, he's seeing only 3.07 pitches each time he goes to the plate. I implore you, while he's hitting better than .300 and still has some cachet, shop him to anyone who needs a shortstop.
Cristian Guzman, SS, Nationals: I was all prepared to tell you to pick up Guzman, owned in less than 30 percent of ESPN leagues, while he's leading the NL in batting at .515, just so you could immediately dangle him in front of someone who is easily distracted by shiny objects. Of course now he's on the DL with the old hammy whammy, but I still think the strategy holds if you have room on your DL or bench. The fact is; he's a man with a lifetime batting average of .272 and a disdain for plate patience. Guzman has zero walks year and even though he's batted better than .300 during the past two seasons, his entire value is tied up in whether his unrepentant swing-addiction results in hits. As soon as he's off the DL, he's lovely trade bait.
Pulling the job
'Twas an active week for both The S.T.E.A.L. and myself. In one of my several "anonymous" public leagues, I made a blockbuster, dealing away Rafael Furcal, Vladimir Guerrero, Mike Cameron and Brett Myers for Jason Bay, Adam Jones, Elvis Andrus, and Scott Baker. Essentially, I dealt for four players on the upsides of their careers for four I think have had their best seasons. I particularly wanted to deal Myers, whom I'm not fond of on many levels, and I felt that Baker's early-season injury had depressed his value. If Elvis can steal enough bags to keep up with Furcal, I really like the chances of Bay and Jones to give me everything I'd have seen from the combo of Cameron and Vlad, with a bit more batting average and a lot less injury risk.
In The S.T.E.A.L., the big move was between Alex "L.L." Byrnes and Jonathan Dilger, owner of "Frank Dux Roundhouse." Dilger dealt Paul Konerko, Dan Uggla and Joel Hanrahan to Byrnes for Ryan Howard, Clint Barmes, and Derek Lowe. Needless to say, the swap got the message boards boiling, but for my money, I think Dux landed the slightly stronger roundhouse on this one. Ryan Howard's issues in the past have been slow starts, and this year he's hitting for average until he finds his power stroke, plus Dilger had the saves to deal because he has Brad Lidge and
Jonathan Broxton on his roster. If Konerko has a great year and Lowe's strong start wanes, it ends up being even. But if Howard and Lowe both go off, Uggla will have to have a career year to balance the scales.
So that's it. Have patience. Buy patience. And don't just win your league. Steal it.

Take a pigeon.
Now put that pigeon, along with thousands of others, into small coops that don't give the bird much freedom to move.
Don't worry about food or water. It won't matter.
Take some of the pigeons - who are already disoriented from hours, maybe days, of confinement - and place a couple of them each into spring-loaded box traps on a field.
About 20 yards behind the traps have people with 12-gauge shotguns line up.
Release the pigeons and watch juveniles disguised in the bodies of adults shoot these non-threatening birds. Most of the birds will be shot five to ten feet from the traps; many, dazed and confused, are shot while standing on the ground or on the tops of cages. Each shooter will have the opportunity to shoot at 25 birds, five birds each in five separate rounds.
About a fourth of the birds will be killed outright. Most of the rest will be wounded. Teenagers will race onto the fields and grab most of the wounded birds. They will wring their necks or stuff them still alive into barrels to die from suffocation.
Some birds will be able to fly outside the killing field, only to die a slow and painful death in nearby yards, roofs or rivers. A few will live.
Now, do it again. And again. And again. All day long. At the "state shoot" in Berks County, about 5,000 birds were launched from 27 boxes on three killing fields.
And, just to make sure that you're a macho macho man, why not stuff a bird onto a plastic fork and parade around the grounds? How about wearing a t-shirt with language so nauseating that even Cable TV would have to blur the message?
By the way, make sure you collect your bets. Illegal gambling, along with excessive drinking, is also a part of this charade that poses as sport. The shooters don't make much, but thousands of dollars will exchange hands.
These are the same psychopaths who probably twirled cats by their tails, and used birthday money to buy BB guns to pluck birds from fences and telephone wires. In their warped minds, they probably think they're Rambo, their shotguns are M-16s, the cages are bunkers, and the cooing birds are agents of Kaos, Maxwell Smart's long-time nemesis.
This is what the NRA is defending as Americans' Second Amendment rights. And why the Pennsylvania legislature has been afraid to pass a bill prohibiting pigeon shoots.
For more than three decades, Pennsylvanians have tried to get this practice banned. For three decades, they have failed. And when it looked as if there was even a remote chance that a slim majority of legislators might support a bill banning pigeon shoots, the House and Senate leadership, most of them from rural Pennsylvania, figured out numerous ways to lock up the bills in committees or keep them from reaching the floor for a vote. In 1994, the House did vote, 99-93, to ban pigeon shoots. But 102 votes were needed.
But now a bill to ban this form of animal cruelty may be headed for a vote in the full legislature. SB 626, sponsored by State Sen. Patrick Browne, R-Allentown, forbids the "use of live animals or fowl for targets at trap shoots or block shoot" gatherings. It specifically allows fair-chase hunting and protects Second Amendment rights.
Last week, the Senate Judiciary Committee finally got a spine, and voted 11-3 to send legislation to the full Senate to ban this practice. Six Republicans and five Democrats voted for the vote; all three negative votes were from Republicans, including the Senate's president pro-tempore. Many of those voting for the ban are lifetime hunters; many are longtime NRA members. They all agree that this is not fair chase hunting but wanton animal cruelty.
But, the NRA, with its paranoid personality that believes banning animal cruelty would lead to banning guns, fired back. In a vicious letter to its members and the media, the NRA stated that national animal rights extremists, whom they have also called radicals, are trying to ban what they call a "longstanding traditional shooting sport."
The International Olympic Committee and the Pennsylvania Game Commission disagree. In 1900, the Olympic committee banned pigeon shoots as cruelty to animals and ruled it was not a sport. The game commission says that pigeon shoots "are not what we would classify as fair-chase hunting." Also opposed to pigeon shoots are dozens of apparently other radical extremists - like the Humane Society of the United States, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the Pennsylvania Council of Churches, the Pennsylvania Veterinary Medical Association, and the Pennsylvania Bar Association. "Each pigeon shoot teaches children that violence and animal cruelty are acceptable practices," says Heidi Prescott, senior vice-president for the Humane Society.
The vote will be close in both chambers, mostly because of the financial power the NRA wields in the rural parts of Pennsylvania, and the NRA's fingernails-on-the-blackboard screeches to its members. On his blog, State Sen. Daylin Leach, D-King of Prussia, a member of the Judiciary committee, wrote that when he supported a ban on pigeon shoots in previous Legislative sessions, he "got more hate mail on this than any other issue I've been involved with." He stated he "got e-mails from all over the state telling me that I obviously hated America and that God, who wanted the pigeons he created to be slaughtered as quickly as possible, was very disappointed in me."
Failure to pass this bill into law will continue to make Pennsylvania, with a long-established hunting culture, the only state where pigeon shoots openly occur, and where animal cruelty is accepted.

There are a few things being glossed over in these assumptions:
1) There have been only about 40k 2011 Mustangs sold (at most). They have not...
I wouldn't sweat that.
How'd it go?
Interesting......there are also people with new F150s complaining about fighting a shimmy.
You've just been handed the golden ticket. I would advise staying very calm and collected. Help them help you.:nice:
I haven't driven one yet, but I did see a post from a guy who said that he had to pop the hood on his rental Mustang to be sure it wasn't a V8....
My vote - new V6.
Correct, lots of changes, including engine modifications.
Funny, that has seemed to worked for the last 45 years.
Same tires as the performance package V6, which just kicked into production.
I ran 275/40/17 Nitto drag radials on an 8" wide rim. They looked, handled and wore normally, you'll be fine!
My opinion, I would buy a 2011 V6 before I bought a 2010 GT. I'm sure others will disagree.

The House of Givenchy was opened in 1952, with Audrey Hepburn in place as one of designer Hubert de Givenchy's original muses. While the brand still captures the chic, feminine moments of the midcentury ideal, today's collections have an edge. Models are frequently done up in overstated eye makeup with slick, slightly waved hair. Get ready for Paris Fashion Week by checking out some modern-day interpretations of the fashion house's forward-looking approach.
Spring 2007
A smattering of models wore metallic, rectangular-shaped designs to frame their eyes at the Spring 2007 show, as two-textured hair faded into the background.
Fall 2007 Couture
Designer Riccardo Tisci was inspired by futuristic Greek goddesses when creating the Fall 2007 couture lineup, where models wore subtle makeup and overdone fringe.
Spring 2009 Couture
With frothy fabrics and ultrasmoky eyes, the gothic and the romantic merged on the Spring 2009 couture runway.
Fall 2009
There may have been a vintage vibe, but models' low-slung chignons were given a crimped texture for a modern take on the retro coiffure.
Fall 2009 Couture
A Middle Eastern influence dominated the beauty looks on the Fall 2009 couture catwalk. Golden.
Spring 2010 Couture
Red lipstick is bold in and of itself, but adding heavily glittered, heavily smoked-out eye makeup into the mix created a whole other level of intensity.
Fall 2010
An unexpected pop of pink on the eyes played nicely with patent-leather red lipstick for Fall 2010.
Spring 2011
Hairstylists toyed around with textures for Spring 2011; note how this multifaceted style started out as a finger wave, moved into a slight crimp, and was finished off with two frizzy-ended pigtail braids.
Fall 2012
With mulberry-hued lipstick and richly bronzed eye makeup, things got dark with Givenchy's Fall 2012 beauty look.
Spring 2013
Chaste designs melded with '60s-era Givenchy silhouettes to make way for a minimalistic hair and makeup look at the fashion house's Spring 2013 show.
Fall 2013
This girl is on fire! From a red skull cap to rouge-rimmed eyes, the Fall 2013 runway look was blazing.
Spring 2014
The makeup look was also a work of art on the Spring 2014 runway. The jewel masks were encrusted with Swarovski crystals.
Fall 2014
The focus was on highlighting the cheekbones and eyes, giving the face a natural bronzed look.

Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease happens when fatty deposits called plaque (say "plak") build up inside your coronary arteries. This process of plaque buildup is called atherosclerosis.
Coronary arteries are the blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to your heart. Plaque buildup may reduce the amount of blood that gets to your heart. Coronary artery disease can cause angina symptoms, such as chest pain or pressure. It can lead to a heart attack.

Completely Blank Console
October 22, 2009, 07:34:13 AM »
Hi all,
OK first post so please bear with me. I've had a look around and haven't been able to track down anyone with the same problem, or at least not that I've been able to interpret.
Long and short, my sheevaplug doesn't boot anymore. I.e, the console is completely blank! It doesn't even get to the inital "512MB" bit, or at least not that I can see.
Bit of backgroud: I may potentially have done something very stupid, hypothetically speaking of course ¬_¬
I got it out of the box, and fired it up. Managed to get in to the default install of ubuntu via SSH. I was very psyched. I then set about doing an "aptitude -y dist-upgrade". Yes, that's right, I updated everything with out setting up a new users first (I usually run debian, so such a step wouldn't normally have been a problem. I could just log back in as root).
Which of course means, that after a reboot, I couldn't log in anymore!
What followed was a downward spiral of events, which started at a "resetenv" from the console, and ended in me installing a TFTP server elsewhere and trying to boot from that. Which kind of worked, but just got stuck at "......Booting Linux kernel".
I may have also tried to apply some filth hax by reflashing the NAND, which of course (being a n00b), I completely screwed up.
So there we have it, my Sheevaplug no longer boots, at all. I can't even get in to the Marvell>> console.
Is there anyway of getting back from this?? I really want to get this sheeva plug working, it's an awesome bit of kit.
What I'm thinking is, is there any way of flashing the NAND with a new image?? I also haven't been able to get the runme.exe OR runme.php working, as I get a:
**** Burning uboot and environment variables ... This will take few minutes ...
sh: openocd/openocd: No such file or directory
**** openocd FAILED
**** Is the mini USB cable connected?
**** Try powering down, then replugging the Sheevaplug
btw, that's from both a Windows and Debian machine.
ANY help would be appreciated!!

Maybe this could help you, based on how I do it in the "windows" version of the sheevaplug-installer. I know you are already familiar with the basic instructions but I just added some things.
Please, also take note that I am using Teraterm as the serial console.
I have also installed the USBtoSerial JTAG driver (FTDI) on my windows PC.
1. Connect the USB stick (preloaded with installer) into the Plugcomputer.
2. Attach the JTAG into the plugcomputer and connect it to the PC using USB cable.
3. Supply power to the plugcomputer unit.
*4. When the plugcomputer boots up, disconnect and reconnect the USB cable of the JTAG.
5. Execute "runme.exe | nand" on the command prompt, this will format the NAND flash.
*6. After the nand is formatted through open ocd, close the CMD prompt. Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable of the JTAG.
7. Open teraterm and select the appropriate serial port. Configure Baud rate to 115200.
8. Wait until the rootfilesystem is flashed into the NAND and the system reboots.
Oftentimes, I have to disconnect and reconnect the usb cable of the JTAG board just to make it work on windows.
Hope this could help.

Hi snake, thanks for your help on this one. It's very much appreciated! I've tried a number of variations here and I always seem to get stuck at the same stumbling block!
Error: unable to open ftdi device: device not found
Runtime error, file "command.c", line 469:
**** openocd FAILED
**** Is the mini USB cable connected?
**** Try powering down, then replugging the Sheevaplug
The most interesting line of which is this:
Error: unable to open ftdi device: device not found
Now, I've been over a few things here to make sure that I haven't missed anything:
I've checked that firstly the drivers for the JTAG are installed correctly, which they appear to be
Ive checked that the vendor/product ID's are correct (useing USBDevice), which they seem to be
I've checked that the serial convertion is ok. I have 2 USB Converters (A and B) both of which are loading the COM ports (COM3 and COM4)
I can connect to both of the COM ports at 115200 but am still presented with a blank screen on both and it will accept any input. That's using both PuTTY and HyperTerminal (I haven't tried TeraTerm, although, I'm not sure it would make much difference as I get the same behaviour from a "cu -s 115200 -l /dev/ttyUSB0" on a debian box)
I can't help but feel that some part of me is screaming "USE A 32 BIT XP YOU FOOL!". I'm intending on trying this tonight, when I get home. I don't know if XP 64bit (which is what I'm running) does stupid things with USB to serial converters or USB devices, etc. And I'm running an AMD64 bit kernel on my debian box.
I'm trying desperately not to lose hope here. I refuse to accept that there isn't a way to get this thing back up and running again.
Thanks again for any help you can give me, even if it doesn't solve the problem directly, it might give me new avenues to explore!

Just throwing my own two cents in...
Have you tried checking the usb cable itself and maybe trying a different one? Many people have had issues with the cable coming loose or not connecting securely. I didn't have the issue with my plug, but another one I setup had a 'loose' connector. Swapping the cable solved my issue there.
Just a thought :-)

And thanks to everyone so far that helped. I've been away all weekend, hense the late reply. Happened to have a 32 bit XP laptop lying around, so I tryed the install procedure on that, which is running through as I type. Hopefully it'll finish ok. I'll keep you all updated.

Thomas McConahy's wife
I, too am a descendant of Thomas McConahy and I had always heard his wife was Minerva; however, census records indicate Thomas was married to Henrietta and it was Nathaniel who married Minerva. It appears that Henrietta died soon after the birth of Thomas Braden in 1882. By then Minerva was also widowed. Census records do not show Thomas and Minerva married or living together. I suspect young Tom, and maybe the other little ones went to live w/ Aunt Minerva, but still looking for proof.
Do you have evidence to the contrary? I would love to solve this mystery!

Passing to a Revolving Door
Has the Jets' Ever-Changing Corps of Wide Receivers Stunted Sanchez's Growth?
FLORHAM PARK, N.J.—Since drafting Mark Sanchez in 2009, the Jets have committed themselves to riding out all the growing pains that accompany starting such a young quarterback. At first glance, though, they seem to have a funny way of showing their support for him.
If a quarterback's maturation depends at all on his cultivating synchronicity with the men who catch his passes, one could argue that the Jets' constant turnover at wide receiver already might have stunted Sanchez's progress. Over Sanchez's three seasons with them, the Jets have made a habit of bringing in veteran wideouts with just one or two years remaining on their contracts: Braylon Edwards, Santonio Holmes, Plaxico Burress, Derrick Mason. Two of those four receivers (Edwards and Mason) no longer play for the team. One of them, Mason, was with the Jets for just three months before they traded him. And among the four, only Holmes has received a multi-year deal since joining the organization.
The average NFL wide receiver has 2.72 years of tenure with his current team, according to Stats LLC, and none of the top three wideouts now on the Jets' roster—Holmes, Burress and rookie Jeremy Kerley—has been with them longer than a year and a half.
"Obviously, you bring in somebody new to your system, there is an adjustment period," head coach Rex Ryan said.
But while the Jets wait for Sanchez to blossom, they have been willing to sacrifice some of the comfort that he might have developed had he spent his entire three-year career with the same receivers. Instead, they've elected to try to increase their talent supply at the position, hoping that even the short-term addition of highly skilled receivers will accelerate Sanchez's improvement—which is a common trade-off when team-building in the NFL.
"You try to get the best players, and continuity will take care of itself," said former NFL general manager Charley Casserly, who now analyzes the league for CBS. "Continuity is worthless if the guys aren't any good. What good is it if the guy's there every day and he can't get open?"
It's easy to pinpoint the moment that the Jets' wide-receiver turnstile started swinging: Oct. 4, 2009, the fourth week of Ryan's and Sanchez's first season. Chansi Stuckey and Jerricho Cotchery started that day in a 24-10 loss to the New Orleans Saints that dropped the Jets' record to 3-1 and accented one of the team's primary weaknesses on offense. The pair combined for five catches; actually, Cotchery had all five. "They didn't have any speed at the receiver position," Casserly said, and the pair's inability to beat tight man-to-man coverage was clearly apparent.
Later that week, the Jets traded two players (including Stuckey) and two draft picks to the Cleveland Browns for Edwards, whose production had fallen off since his breakout season in 2007 when he piled up 1,289 receiving yards.
Since then, the Jets have sought "the right players at the right price," general manager Mike Tannenbaum said. In 2010, they traded a fifth-round pick to Pittsburgh for Holmes, the most valuable player of Super Bowl XLIII. Then this year, they allowed Edwards to sign a free-agent deal with the San Francisco 49ers and inked Burress to a one-year contract after he had served 20 months in prison for gun possession. They released Cotchery before this season, confident that Kerley, a fifth-round pick from TCU, could replace him as slot receiver.
"In a perfect world, you would have your team, and it would be set in stone for three years, and we'd kick our feet up on the desk and watch Mark get better," Tannenbaum said. "The reality is there's going to be a transient nature to it. But the point is very well taken: Is it sustainable to keep 'renting' these players?"
Edwards (who has played in four games) and Cotchery (who signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers) have just 14 combined receptions this season. Kerley alone has 13, so it's difficult to argue that their departures have damaged the Jets' offense. Tannenbaum also noted that the franchise has seen and will see fewer changes at other offensive positions during Sanchez's career: Running back Shonn Greene and tight end Dustin Keller, each of whom has been with the Jets at least as long as Sanchez has, are signed through next season, and the team's top seven offensive linemen are under contract for 2012.
As quantified by conventional statistics, Sanchez's play has improved, steadily if marginally, since the beginning of his rookie season. His receivers, meanwhile, have experienced fits and starts of production. Only after Burress's three-TD performance against San Diego on Oct. 23 did Sanchez say, "We're finally starting to hit our groove." In 2010, Holmes didn't surpass 100 receiving yards until his fourth game and didn't score a touchdown until his fifth, and he has caught just 25 passes through eight games this season. When asked last week whether he was happy with his role on the team, Holmes dodged the question, telling reporters: "We're here winning ballgames right now."
That mini-kerfuffle, of course, raised a more disconcerting possibility for the Jets: that Sanchez never develops a lasting rapport with any of his receivers. To Casserly, that prospect is unlikely, though he did say that Sanchez lacks the innate skill set that Giants quarterback Eli Manning possesses.
"There's a clear difference in talent level between the two of them," he said, "but I think Sanchez has done a lot of good things. People have to remember: This kid's only in his third year. If I was the Jets and I had him, I'd be happy. And if you don't have him, where are you?"

I want to program in Visual Studio 2010. My choice of programming language is C++. I want to know what project shall I select when I click on new project? I understand that a solution is a collection of projects.
I believe I need to select Win32 Project type as selected in following snap shot.
When I create new projects, I get a directory structure which includes following folders:
1. External dependencies
2. Header files
3. Resource files
4. Source files
I want to understand following things:
How and where to edit UI screen? I tried playing around with the project and I want not able to understand from where to get to a screen in IDE where I can create forms, buttons, text boxes, etc.
I know that we can add dialog boxes (forms) in Resource View. But is it the only way to do the same? How to find associated back-end code?
What will be a good reference material to go through to understand these concepts?
If there are more than one project in the solution that is created, how do they depend on each other?
I have seen some example codes. And there I have seen statements like
DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()written without semi-colon at the end. I want to know what does it mean? From where can I understand the basic architecture to be followed while creating a similar project.
Thanks in advance.
