The custom cursor I'm using for my game is always below spawned objects(the enemies). I don't know how to fix this. To attach the enemies, I'm using the attachMovie method with getNextHighestDepth. I was thinking about using the swapdepths method, but I have no idea on how to use that. The cursor is on the stage to begin with. I am using AS2. Please Help.

Uh, what game am I watching? McCutchen clearly swung. That should have been a K. A-freakin-mazing.
That was one of those that was so obvious the home plate ump shouldn't have even checked to first.

We found your stolen Prius, it was voting for Ralph Nader.
A better throw from Hanigan would have nailed Marte at third.
Need a friendly ground ball here
Laboring through the first, not looking like Homer is going to throw one of his patented complete game shutouts like he normally does against Pittsburgh.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Big K there. Let's go!
Big strikeout there of Jones. Two down.
Jones K's. Two away.
Reds Fan Since 1971
I think Paul is hitting second to jump start the offense, which hasn't done too much against the Pirates this series.
1-2 count on Alvarez. Bury something in the dirt here.
Homer struck out 4 that inning! (Not officially.)
Or just do that. Bailey K's the side!

Event : Race
Brussels Eco Trail: 3rd Belgian edition of this run!
- Opening periods
- Saturday 24 September 2016
- Saturday 24 September 2016
- Address:
Around Brussels: contact the organiser for further details.
The idea behind the Ecotrail is to promote the most beautiful green areas of this European city. In Brussels on 13/09/14!
Discover the Belgian (and European) capital and its surroundings thanks to this outdoor run through the city that aims to promote the local, natural and cultural heritage. The longest distance is 80 km and runs along the Soignes Forest and the Green Walk to the Atomium. An original way to cross both Flanders and Wallonia regions.
En 2014, the plan will change somewhat, to put emphasis on contrast and paradox.
The trail enables you to discover the city in the most rustic way, by showcasing its numerous green spaces.
Sportingly speaking, to complete the challenge, runners must overtake one another to finish the diverse routes within a time limit.
Final paradox: the time trial sees the end of the trail, a bunch of pros who, like in previous years, will take up the challenge of the longest distance (80km), and other competitors who are eager to give the less ambitious distances a go (5km).
6 races on offer (all ending at the Atomium):
- Trail 80km individual (qualifiers for the UTMB)
- Trail 80km Run-Bike-Run: 3 runners with 2 bikes,
- Trail 18km: departing from the Atomium (New!)
- Trail 18km Duo: same distance, in pairs and not timed,
- Walk 18km: for walkers, not timed,
- Trail 9km: for first timers, those who have the "I trail for my health" spirit.
The starting points are all reachable by metro from the Atomium.
Races start late morning and early afternoon.
Don't hesitate to join the Eco trail community on Facebook!

Past Exhibitions: 2010
An Economy of Means: The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection
January 30–May 2, 2010
The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection is notable both for the character and breadth of the objects and for the individuals who created it. Herbert Vogel (b. 1922) spent most of his working life as an employee of the United States Postal Service, and Dorothy Vogel (b. 1935) was a reference librarian at the Brooklyn Public Library. Setting their collecting priorities above those of personal comfort, the couple used Dorothy's salary to cover the expenses of daily life and devoted Herbert's salary to the acquisition of contemporary art. The couple began collecting in the early 1960s, with a focus on minimal and conceptual art, though they also embraced a wide range of post-minimal practices as well as new figurative directions that emerged in the 1980s. As the first collectors to buy work by many artists who were then unknown to a wide audience, the Vogels offered encouragement at the start of the careers of several figures—artists like Robert Barry, Edda Renouf, and Richard Tuttle, among many others—who went on to achieve considerable acclaim. Many works in the collection were given to the Vogels as gifts, a testament to the Vogels' close and longstanding relationships with many of the artists they supported. The exhibition is drawn from the Vogels' recent gift of fifty works to the Museum of Art, donated as part of The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection: Fifty Works for Fifty States, a national initiative to place fifty works from the collection in a selected art institution in each of the fifty states.
This exhibition is made possible in part by the Friends of the University of Michigan Museum of Art.

Catalina Island Customers
Catalina Island
Safely providing electricity, water and gas to Catalina Island is our top priority. Below is helpful information about these services for the more than 4,000 year-round residents and 700,000 visitors Catalina Island hosts every year.
Catalina Island Water Services
Since 1962, we've been providing water service to Catalina Island through water storage, wells, water treatment and distribution, and, more recently, a desalination plant. Download our fact sheet to learn more about the water system.
Stage 2 Water Rationing Is In Effect
Stage 2 Mandatory Water Conservation and Rationing requires a 25 percent reduction of previous water use. In other words, your monthly water allotment is 25 percent lower than the water used for the same month during the 12-month period before Stage 1 Mandatory Water Conservation was implemented in June, 2013. Download our fact sheet for a complete list of additional restrictions on water use.
Water Supply Status and Stage 2 Results
- As of July 14, 2016 the Middle Ranch Reservoir water level was 161 acre feet.
- In June, 2016, water use declined 33%; 23 acre feet of water was used compared to 34 acre feet in June, 2013.
- Between July, 2015 and June, 2016, water use declined 42% even with a 26% increase in visitors to the island; 223 acre feet of water was used compared to 382 acre feet in June, 2012-May, 2013 (baseline).
Catalina Water Quality & Mandatory Rationing: Frequently Asked Questions
When does water rationing get implemented?
Mandatory water conservation goes into effect when water levels in the Middle Ranch Reservoir ("Reservoir") fall below 600 acre-feet. Mandatory water rationing goes into effect when water levels in the Reservoir fall below 300 acre-feet.
Based on water levels in the Reservoir, mandatory water conservation and water rationing are already in effect.
How is water alloted during Stage 2 Mandatory Water Conservation and Rationing?
Part of the water rationing plan includes the use of monthly water allotments. We have provided you with your individual monthly water allotments, which were calculated from your monthly water use from the 12-month period before Stage 1 Mandatory Water Conservation was implemented.
Stage 2 Mandatory Water Conservation and Rationing requires a 25 percent reduction from your baseline water use.
What is baseline water allocation? To determine your monthly baseline water allotment during Stage 2 Water Rationing, we take your water usage from the same month during the 12-month period before Stage 1 Mandatory Water Conservation was implemented and reduce it by 25 percent. For example, if you used 100 gallons in September 2013, your baseline water allotment for September 2014 is 75 gallons. You will be responsible for monitoring your water use to ensure you do not exceed your monthly water allotments. The 25 percent water usage reduction will be strictly enforced.
What happens if I exceed my water allotment?
First offense: You will receive a written warning on your bill.
Second offense: We will install a flow-restricting device on your water service line. The device will be removed after a minimum 3-day period has passed and upon payment of a $200 fee.
Third offense: We will install a flow-restricting device on your water service line. The device will not be removed until water rationing is no longer in effect and upon payment of an additional $200 fee on top of the $200 fee charged with the second offense.
Any tampering with a flow-restricting device may result in fines or discontinuation of water use at our discretion.
Are there additional restrictions on water use?
Stage 2 Mandatory Water Conservation and Rationing requires certain prohibitions and restrictions on the use of fresh water, subject to future changes if directed by the California Public Utilities Commission.
Download our fact sheet for a complete list of additional restrictions on water use.
How can I conserve more water?
To save more water, consider these tips from the saveourh2o.org.

For additional water saving tips, visit saveourh2o.org.
Where can I get more information about my drinking water?
We guarantee that we're providing you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water by regularly monitoring the water supply. We're required to test for a number of different contaminants in the water system, with the timing of the sampling varying based on the state's requirements, from daily to annually. The company conducts more than 2,300 tests for over 150 drinking water contaminants.
In order to ensure that water is safe to drink, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water, established regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Monitoring results are routinely submitted to the Division of Drinking Water and are subject to review and inspection by the agency.
For more information about what we test for and how it compares to California water quality standards, please refer to our annual Consumer Confidence Report.
The California Public Utilities Commission-approved Schedule 14.1 explains the requirements and restrictions that are part of Stage 2 Mandatory Water Rationing.
Catalina Island Gas Services
We also provide commercial and residential customers on Catalina Island with gas services. Below are answers to some questions you may have related to your gas service.
Catalina Gas Services: Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I suspect a propane gas leak?
If you smell propane gas or suspect a leak has occurred, follow these important rules:
- Do not touch, breathe, or make contact with leaking propane gas
- Get everyone out of your home or building, and open doors and windows to ventilate the area
- If outside, leave the area immediately by walking into the wind and away from the propane gas
- Do not light a match, start an engine, use a cell phone, or do anything that may create a spark as the leaked propane gas can ignite
- Turn off machinery and equipment, but never approach equipment that is surrounded by a gas cloud
- Provide a description of the propane leak and its location
- Warn others to keep away
How is propane gas delivered safely to my home or business?
Propane gas is supplied to our customers via a pipeline system- the safest, most reliable and most efficient way of distributing propane gas. Pipeline failures on Catalina Island are rare because our pipeline system is designed, installed, tested, operated, and maintained according to strict standards used by us, the pipeline industry and those required by local, state, and federal government agencies.
We continuously monitor the pipeline system through a combination of safety programs:
- Patrols of the pipeline system
- Visual ground inspections and leak surveys
- Computerized system reports and records of line pressure 24 hours a day
- Construction practices that help prevent rusting and minimize corrosion
How can I help keep gas pipelines on Catalina Island safe?
Everyone can contribute to the safety and security of the pipeline system on Catalina Island. Any activity near or on a pipeline route—even something as simple as planting a tree or building a fence—can potentially damage a pipeline.
A gouge, scrape, dent or crease to a pipeline or its coating may cause a break or a leak in the future. If you plan to dig, drill, or engage in any other activity that could damage a pipeline, call Dig Alert at 1-800-227-2600 at least 48 hours before you dig or excavate.
When you call Dig Alert, our personnel will come out and mark the pipeline route for you. When excavating near propane gas piping, the excavation must be done with hand tools until the propane gas line is found.
If you know of even minor damage to a pipeline, please contact us immediately at 1-310-510-4301 so we can investigate.
Where are the underground gas pipelines?
Usually, an underground "main" pipeline located in the middle of the street in front of your home or business supplies propane gas. Additional underground piping runs from the main pipeline to the propane gas meter that supplies propane gas to your home or business. In open areas, main pipelines are marked with aboveground signs to indicate the general location, our contact information, and that the pipeline contains propane gas. Markers do not provide information on the depth or number of pipelines in the vicinity and the markers do not indicate the exact position of the pipeline.
What can I do above ground to keep underground pipelines safe?
Pipeline routes must be kept free from structures and other obstructions. If a pipeline crosses your property, please do not plant trees or high shrubs along the route. Also, do not store or place anything on or near the pipeline route without first contacting us so we can explain the company's construction guidelines to you. Call us during normal business hours at 1-310-510-4312 if you have any questions.
Is there anything else I need to know?
Always follow these important safety tips:
- Never use a propane gas oven or stove burners for heating
- Only use indoor-use portable heaters when inside
- Don't use an outdoor barbeque grill indoors
- Always keep propane gas appliances well-ventilated
- Have propane gas appliances tested regularly by qualified technicians
Catalina Island Electric Services
We generate electricity for Catalina Island using six diesel generators and 23 propane-powered microturbines, and we distribute that power using three distribution circuits that serve the entire island. Here are some useful ways to help you manage your electricity usage:
- Helpful tips: Low- to no-cost ways for you to maximize your savings.
- Get to Know Your Rate: Learn how residential rate plans work
- Rebates & Incentives: Get paid for purchasing energy efficient appliances or participating in energy-saving programs
- Make your home more energy efficient

SANTA CLARA — Aldon Smith hasn't had a sack for the past four games but 49ers defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is not concerned.
"I don't look at it as a drought," Fangio said Thursday. "You guys were at the game last week. The guy (Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers) was throwing the ball extremely fast."
Smith racked up a franchise-record 19½ sacks through the first 13 games and finished second in the league behind the Houston Texans' J.J. Watt.
"Teams have respect for our rush and throw it quick," Fangio added. "It's not always stats. Don't look at your play-by-play and make your conclusion. Watch the game."
In their next game, the second-seeded 49ers (12-4-1) will visit the top-seeded Atlanta Falcons (14-3) at noon Sunday for the right to reach Super Bowl XLVII.
The 49ers are seeking their sixth Super Bowl title, and their first road playoff win since claiming a Super Bowl berth Jan. 8, 1989 at Chicago. The Falcons have reached the Super Bowl only once, when their 1998 team fell 34-19 to the Denver Broncos.
In Saturday's 45-31 win over the Green Bay Packers, the 49ers welcomed Justin Smith back from a two-game absence related to a torn triceps tendon. Fangio said Smith and Aldon Smith teamed up well on the right side of the line in their reunion, noting: "They played well and did a good job for us."
Regarding Aldon Smith's recent outings, Justin Smith said: "He demanding a lot of extra attention. If you don't study tape, there's a lot of attention over there and rightly so. The guy's a beast over there. You're not just going to let him go one-on-one."

About the Book
Matt Hilton's pulse-pounding thriller Blood and Ashes has ex-military operative Joe Hunter facing down a gang hell-bent on mass destruction.
The police say Brook Reynolds' death in a car accident was just a tragic accident, but her father knows better, and he wants Joe Hunter to bring her killer to justice. Hunter is skeptical until another attack—and a threat to Brook's sister—changes his mind. Soon the entire family is under siege and only Joe can truly protect them.
The battle to save Brook's family starts Joe Hunter on a trail of death that leads right to the heart of a racist conspiracy. White supremacists want to hold the government to ransom; and they have got their hands on a dirty bomb to make everyone pay attention. But can Joe stop the plotters before they reduce the free world to ashes?
How does one man stay alivewith a dozen assassins targeting him?
Ex-soldier Joe Hunter once employed his killer instincts for Don Griffiths. Together, they brought down extremist groups and domestic terrorists before they could implement their destructive plans against the country. It was a job that nearly cost Hunter his life—and his humanity. So he severed all ties with Griffiths.
But when Griffiths' daughter is murdered and the rest of his family is targeted by supporters of Carswell Hicks, an enemy from his past and long believed to be dead, Hunter knows he can't stand by and let innocent people get hurt. Agreeing to help Griffiths protect his family, Hunter sets out on a suicide mission—for a dozen merciless killers are bent on avenging a dead man . . .

The Breckenridge Golf Course is closed for winter now, but golfer Mark Caples sent in a photo of friend and fellow golfer Matthew "Frodo" Zeiset who shot a hole in one on hole four of the Bear Course on Sept. 29.
From left to right, the golfing quartet is Todd Barson, Zeiset, Anthony Bulfin and Caples. All four are from Breckenridge, and after Zeiset sunk the ball, his companions suggested they benefit the local bars on the tradition that the one who gets the hole in one pays for drinks.
According to Caples' information from Breckenridge Golf Course staff, there were eight hole-in-ones on the courses this summer, with Zeiset's being the last.
If more than 400 golfers play daily at the height of the season, that would be more than 1,500 attempts a day.

Why did Michelle Kujawa leave last week?
She found love with Ryan Putz, a member of the crew.
Ryan ended up dropping from Michelle's balcony and breaking both ankles out of fear of being caught when another crew member showed up to check on Michelle.
Another 'Winner of the Week' award goes to Ben Scott for having a serious relationship but wanting a vacation. If it weren't for a letter from his girlfriend found in his backpack he could still be partying instead of leaving paradise.
Then there is Elise Mosca.
She and Dylan Petit had been a thing for a week and Elise was hearing wedding bells. Dylan wasn't feeling it and tells her they should see other people, which she translates to, he's testing our love.
That night she decided to try out new arrival Chris Bukowski, with some serious kissing in the ocean.
The next day Dylan confronts Elise and doesn't seem too upset but more relieved that she gave him the clean exit he wanted.
Too bad she didn't understand it that way.
When Dylan gets a date card, Elise is confident that they will be sharing a romantic date together. again she misses the mark and he asks her good friend Sarah Heron and she still doesn't get it.The night of the rose ceremony Dylan tries one more time. He tells Elise that if she offers him the rose, he'll refuse to take it. Guess what, she offers it to him anyway and he rejects the offer.
So now she has another pick but before that, she goes into some 'crazy place' and gives a speech then picks Chris Bukowski.
Good for Dylan being honest but bad for him since he didn't get a rose and went home.

There are currently more than 30 pharmacopeias operating in the world, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) (1). Some of these organizations have been in existence for quite a long time—in some cases more than 100 years—while others were recently created. Pharmacopeias, in general, are national, meaning that they provide standards for a particular country (e.g., United States Pharmacopeia [USP], Japanese Pharmacopoeia [JP]) and others serve as regional bodies (e.g., European Pharmacopoeia [Ph. Eur.]) or even global bodies (e.g., the WHO's International Pharmacopoeia [Ph. Int.]). Their standards are published in a wide variety of languages to meet the needs of those using them. In terms of updates, several pharmacopeias have active processes for revision, with new editions and supplements published on a regular basis, but not all pharmacopeias have the resources to publish revisions as frequently.
Clearly there are differences between pharmacopeias, but there are also important similarities such as their purpose and content of their publications. Given today's global pharmaceutical environment, it is instructive to consider the current pharmacopeial situation with a goal of defining the "ideal" state. This concept was jointly discussed in May 2006 between industry representatives from the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) and the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA). This article presents the conclusions from that discussion, with further development by PhRMA's Compendial Liaison Team.It is hoped that the industry vision provided herein will stimulate further discussion to ensure a continued beneficial role for pharmacopeias in our global healthcare system.
A pharmacopeia's purposeA pharmacopeia includes published, public quality standards for pharmaceutical ingredients and dosage forms. A standard may include acceptance criteria as well as test methods for determining the conformance of an ingredient or dosage form to the standard. The existence of a pharmacopeia is often a legal mandate, referenced in national law and enforced by governmental bodies. The fundamental purpose of the pharmacopeia is to promote public health, as stated in the mission and preface to USP 31, the preface to JP 15, and in the following text from the introduction of Ph. Eur. 6.0 (2–4):
"The purpose of the European Pharmacopoeia is to promote public health by the provision of recognized common standards for use by healthcare professionals and others concerned with the quality of medicines. Such standards are to be appropriate as a basis for the safe use of medicines by patients and consumers."
The Ph. Eur. introduction continues by noting that Ph. Eur. is widely used internationally, and that its standards are developed by working with all users of the pharmacopeia to satisfy their needs and facilitate cooperation.
Pharmacopeias, along with regulatory agencies and pharmaceutical manufacturers, play a role in supporting the availability of safe, effective, and quality medicines worldwide. The ultimate beneficiaries of pharmacopeial standards are healthcare professionals and patients. However, it should be recognized that physicians, pharmacists, and patients do not directly use the pharmacopeias. With the exception of a few general chapters aimed specifically at pharmacists (e.g., USP General Chapters <795> and <797>, which address pharmaceutical compounding), the benefit to these parties is indirect through the published pharmacopeial standards that are implemented by the pharmaceutical industry and enforced by regulatory authorities. The direct impact of the large majority of pharmacopeial standards is on industry and regulators; this direct impact is key to the discussion of an ideal pharmacopeia.
Historical perspective
To establish characteristics associated with the ideal pharmacopeia, it is helpful to have some historical perspective of the initial creation and purpose of the pharmacopeias. The early history of USP serves as an illustrative example. In 1820, a small group of physicians met in the US Capitol building to "create a compendium of the best therapeutic products, give them useful names, and provide recipes for their preparation" (2). The resulting Pharmacopeia of the United States was intended to meet a critical need that existed at that time, when there was little consistency in the ingredients, preparation, and quality for drugs that were typically compounded by physicians and apothecaries. The early pharmacopeia provided standards to ensure uniformity for medicines to benefit patients and practitioners, whether they lived in New York, Boston, or any other city in the nation.
Today's situation is quite different. In our modern, global healthcare environment, medicines are typically manufactured by pharmaceutical companies in highly controlled facilities operating under current good manufacturing practices (CGMPs). New drug applications are reviewed by regulatory agencies throughout the world to ensure the products are safe, effective, and of appropriate quality. Regulators inspect manufacturing facilities to ensure compliance with agreed-upon quality standards. While uniformity for medicines remains an important goal, the scope has changed dramatically. It is now essential to have safe, effective, and high-quality medicines available for patients and practitioners in New York, Paris, Tokyo, or any other city in the world.

SAN FRANCISCO -- As the inevitable Giants baseball victory began to light up more than 10,000 giddy fans gathered in the civic center, a crazed countdown began about 8:45 p.m. Sunday evening: "One more out!" the crowd shrieked with ragged but joyful voices.
And then, when the final pitch led swiftly to the final out, the monstrous gathering of delirious fans who had been watching the World Serles from Detroit on massive, outdoor television monitors let out a roar that echoed off every concrete surface within miles of the broadcast miracle. Countless bottles of champagne popped and sprayed, and the black October sky suddenly filled with the cheerful, colorful glows from fireworks.
"This is the most incredible feeling ever," shouted Lynnell Hannah, a 27-year-old San Francisco resident. Like many laughing, smiling, screaming, dancing fans, Hannah captured all the excitement all around her on her cellphone camera.
"This is a feeling that's indescribable," said Alfonzo Wray, 30, of San Francisco.
Alan and Vanessa Wray of San Martin were especially in awe of hero Marco Scutaro, who had the game-winning hit.
"He's a machine with people on base," said Alan Wray.
Across town
While there were tens of thousands of viewing parties all over the Bay Area, across San Francisco, down in the neighborhood around the Giants' AT&T Park, all bars and restaurants were packed full and crazy for most of the day. As the game went back and forth, no one could relax -- even the many who brought along brooms. Numerous fans carried those universal symbols for what the Giants hoped for -- to beat the Detroit Tigers four straight games to claim the championship of Major League Baseball.
When they did just that in the bottom of the 10th inning, thousands of insanely happy fans burst out of the eateries and drinkries and rushed down to Willie Mays Plaza, right outside the stadium. They were waving brooms and singing out, "Sweep! Sweep! Sweep!" Part of the relief of dancing around the famed Mays bronze statue was obvious. So, many fans had packed the bars for hours, and others were stuck for the duration in stilled lines. Many had helplessly peered at the game through sweaty windows because they simply could not get into any establishment.
"You want to be in this environment, where the fans are enthused," said Emily Loi of Burlingame.
"It was sweet that they did it again," bleated Joey Nguyen of San Jose. "I could get used to this." Meanwhile, Joey's cousin Viet Nuygen was wildly waving a broom and said, "We're here all the time. We are die-hards, and now we're ready for the parade."
Heartfelt fireworks
At the prime bars near the stadium, such as MoMo's and The Public House, the buildup of the competitive game made the atmosphere inside extra crazy. As the bottom of the 10th inning began, with the Detroit Tigers up for the last time, a lusty chant started in the bars that simply demanded, "Three more outs!"
Just before the end of the game, San Francisco police showed up at AT&T Park in riot gear. A lot of cops, none of them wearing celebration smiles. When the fans instantly filled the plaza, they also closed down street traffic along King and Third, the sidewalks and even the air -- as they also filled the atmosphere with spritzing and splashing champagne. Many fans elevated themselves up on light poles and shouted out their amazement and delight that the hometown team had done it again -- just two years later. A special parade for the team is set for Wednesday.
There were scattered reports of partying: Someone set a bonfire in the Mission; some happy fans were riding on top of buses on Market Street; and at least one car was flipped over. A number of broken bottles and windows did not survive what was described as numerous fits of orange and black, smiling insanity going off all over town — all over the Bay Area..
The essence of the happiness all over the region was elegantly expressed by Junior Pelaez, 21, a fan who held up his broom and chanted "MVP." In summing up the feeling of being a fan of a championship team, he said, "I felt fireworks in my heart. The trophy is coming home. It belongs here."

One report that I heard said he made up approx. 300,00 votes while another said 130,000. Either way, that's a huge bump in a matter of days.
I haven't scanned the internet for conspiracy theories but I did hear one radio guy float the idea.

His ballot took steroids.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
I don't care how it happened, I'm glad it did. Always like seeing the host team's reaction to their player(s) that make the team. Will make for an even more electric atmosphere seeing the soon to be HR king receiving numerous accolades from the Giants faithful.

So, because people (Reds fans) did it in the past, then it is OK to do it again for Bonds?
If I were JR I would tell the manager that if Bonds goes to the outfield without a drug test, I am walking of the field.
What I distain about Bonds is what he is doing to Hammerin' Hank. Nobody overcame more than Aaron to beat out the Babe. To have a slimmy self absorbed character like Bonds ruin all of it is sickening.
This precisely why I have balked at putting Pete in the HOF. You crown him as Mr. Baseball in doing so and make him a hero figure to kids who cannot see his shortcomings.
"Is there a problem officers?"
Some show on ESPN this morning was commenting on this topic. Their speculation was that, since ballots are not verified (i.e., like the Oscars), that MLB may have fudged the count as a way to avoid the embarrassment of naming Bonds to the team in his hometown and during his attempt to pass Aaron. In other words, a way for Bud the Pud to not have to make a decision that he might find 'awkward'.
So....back to the question: was Bond's election fixed?
I'm still pissed that the Yankees aren't playing the Redsox in the all-star game....and they say this one counts....ya right....
"This isnt stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
Yes, I've wondered this myself.
Seems fishy that the tough decision on Bonds making the team or not now doesn't have to be made thanks to a massive vote make-up for a player people hate.
Yep, something stinks about that.

Towns historians and officials are connecting the recent low flows of the Blue River through Breckenridge to historic dredge mining at the turn of the century, which was the huge economic driver of the economy until the 1940s.
Even before the ski resort was founded in Breckenridge, the Blue River often saw low flows, according to historians. As a result of the dredging, the river appears to dry out. However, the water table lowers under the riverbed before re-emerging and draining into Dillon Reservoir, said Gary Roberts, the water division manager for the town of Breckenridge.
Robin Theobald, a longtime Breckenridge resident and historian, said that during the dredging in the early 20th century, environmental standards were not like they are today and low flows appear yearly as a result.
"They didn't care - the dredging has had lasting effects on the Blue River but it created so many jobs for the people back then," Theobald said. "Year after year, fish would survive the dredging - it was easy for them to justify that type of work when it contributed to the well-being of so many residents of Breckenridge during that time."
Thinking the dredge mining would provide jobs during The Depression, the town of Breckenridge allowed miners to operate from northern town limits through to the south end of Main Street.
Dredge boats were capable of digging up ground within the Blue River up to 70 feet in the riverbed. The dredge removed vegetation, cobblestone, sediment "literally turning the riverbed upside down, devastating its normal flow," according to information from the Breckenridge Heritage Alliance.
After dredging was outlawed in Breckenridge, the population of the town declined to approximately 254 individuals. What was once the livelihood of Breckenridge's economy, dredge mining left behind piles of excess rock, sediment and cobblestone extracted from the devastated riverbed.
Then, in 1982, the town of Breckenridge began restoration of the Blue River. Certain areas through town were lined to keep flows above the surface while other areas were rehabilitated.
However, drought conditions and low snowpack levels contribute to the the river's low flow in many areas through town, according to Troy Wineland, Summit County water commissioner.
The minimum bypass flows at the diversion point for Breckenridge Ski Resort's snowmaking is 2 cubic feet per second. Downstream on the river near Tiger Road, the minimum streamflow requirement is 10 cfs.
"The minimum bypass flows are being met, but the streamflows are so deficient the river is not flowing above the surface of the streambed - I need to stress that the water is there, you just can't see it because it's sub-surface in some sections," Wineland said.
Though the town of Breckenridge rehabilitated through-town sections of the river that were devastated from historical dredge work, the section with lowest flows Tuesday was a restored area that was left without an impermeable liner to keep streamflows above the surface, Wineland said.
Roberts said the same minimum flow requirement of 2 cfs at Maggie Pond will be required for the town, which holds the senior water right of the Goose Pasture Tarn.
"We don't want to approach the low level requirements," Roberts said. "When Breckenridge Resort is done with snowmaking in January, the town will lower the flow and store extra water in the Tarn reservoir."
The drying of the river in certain areas is normal and has been common during the early winter months, according to Wineland and longtime residents of the area.
"When I was a little boy, water disappeared in August," said C.J. Mueller, a resident of Breckenridge. "The river flows now, as a result of the rehabilitation by the town, is a major improvement over what it used to be. Low flows are just a fact of life."
During the drought conditions, Wineland said all entities utilizing water from the river are meeting the minimum flow requirements.
"It's important to realize the combination of factors: Historic low flows, snowmaking and the streambed is simply more visible during this time absent the snow cover," Wineland said. "I'm responsible for monitoring and keeping track of the river flow so once the town or the ski areas start approaching those then that's when I start having those conversations about what we can do to curtail water use and make sure those minimum flows are being met."

While I was visiting an art gallery with my mom in New York, the manager asked how the football team at my school was doing.
I told him that I attend Red Canyon High School, which is an alternative school, so we don't have a football team.
He looked me in the eye and said, "So you're a delinquent, then." He didn't phrase this as a question. It was instantly assumed that no matter who I was, where I came from or how well I do in school, I am a delinquent because of the school I attend.
Not true.
At Red Canyon, we have our "school norms," or character qualities: respect, community, honor and self-discipline.
There is one day per month called "crew day," when we focus on nothing but learning about one of these qualities.
For the month of February, we focused on self-discipline. Yes, they sat us down and gave us the typical "go to class, work hard, don't talk in class" speech.
But it was more than that. At Red Canyon, it's not just about your grades. Yes, those are important, but it's also important that you grow as a person.
One student said that self-discipline at Red Canyon to him meant "being able to do all your classes while dealing with the rest of your life."
For self-discipline, one of the lessons they taught us was that the choices you make now really will affect the rest of your life. With that, they tied in a lesson about safe driving with the help of a representative from the program Alive at 25, a program designed to teach 15- to 24-year-olds about safe driving.
Another lesson was that the best tool you have is your spirit. One guest speaker said, "The words you say to yourself are what's going to come out in reality."
We learned that we need to believe in ourselves, or we won't go anywhere. We were taught that just because everyone else is doing it, that doesn't make it a good idea.
Another student said what he took away from the day was to be a leader, not a follower.
A teacher at Red Canyon High School said that to her, "self-discipline meant evaluating the situation and making the decision you feel is best for you and for the school."
We learn these things every month. Red Canyon doesn't just improve academic behavior; it also strives to improve our character, if we allow it to.
We are there for all kinds of different reasons, whatever those are, but we're there by choice.
So maybe some of us are delinquents. But that doesn't define who we are, by any means.
So if I am seen as a delinquent because of the school I attend, then I choose to be a diligent delinquent.
Samantha Lewis is a junior at Red Canyon High School.

A not so common guide, article by Janek Bevendorff first posted on http://www.refining-linux.org
The UNIX philosophy is based on the DRY principle which declares: "Don't repeat yourself". Therefore, a program just does what it's made for and uses libraries or even other programs on your system to do a more advanced job. Some of these auxiliary programs are user definable and probably you already know the
EDITOR environment variable, which specifies your default editor for the console. This is used, e.g., for the command
visudo, which opens your
/etc/sudoers file safely, or by
svn to input a commit comment. But another important component is your console pager, which is used to display textual content on the console.
As a system administrator or a more advanced Linux user you surely know
man and how to use it.
man shows you the (probably localized) contents of your system's manual pages for a specific command or file, at least you might think so, but actually that's wrong or let's say: not completely the truth.
man selects which manpage to show, but the display itself is managed by your pager. Of course, not only
man makes use of the pager, also commands like
I assume, you have already used your pager very often, which is nothing else than
less or
lv (which is also a good pager but very seldom installed by default and therefore rarely known). Most of the time, you use them to display the contents of log files or configurations, which you don't want to alter, but that's not all. As mentioned before, other programs use your pager as well and there is a way to configure which one to take and of course also how to use it.

Kaitlynn Sockett isn't afraid of a little speed. In fact, she craves it.
"My favorite events are downhill and super G, for sure," she said. "The speed events."
It's this speed that aids Sockett, an aspiring alpine racer, in her competitive races and that she hopes will eventually make her a name in the sport.
So far, she's had a good start.
A Breckenridge native, the soon-to-be 17-year-old has spent the past year training and racing throughout the United States and Europe. In February, she spent two weeks in Switzerland before traveling to Germany and Austria.
"There were some really good races over there, but we also got some cool training opportunities," Sockett said.
She particularly remembers spending some time skiing with the German men's Europa Cup team as well as the Austrian women's World Cup team.
Sockett was lucky enough to be able to stay with a German family while she was there, getting a feel for authentic German life.
"It's a bit different than here in Summit," she said.
The travel aspect itself was great, Sockett said, though this year she focused more on the skiing than the sightseeing.
"I went (to Europe) last year too and that was the year I was more of a tourist," she said. "This year was more about the skiing."
With such a demanding training and racing schedule, Sockett turned to online study to keep up with her academics. Another challenge is spending time away from her family.
"I like it," the young skier said about traveling. "There are some days where I just want to be home with my family and friends, but then other days I get to go out and ski in awesome places and that makes it all worth it."
Her family also finds the separation hard.
"It's really good to know that she gets the opportunity to go to Europe, but I do miss having her around," said her mother, Lisa Sockett. "At the same time, it's definitely helped her skiing and this has been a goal, to be an elite skier, that she's had for a long time. As long as we can support her, we're going to keep trying."
Kaitlynn Sockett has been involved with skiing for about as long as she can remember.
"I started skiing when I was 2 and I started racing when I was 8," Sockett said. She hasn't looked back since.
While she loves the speed events, she trains and races in all four alpine disciplines. This season, she won two gold medals in FIS downhill races, then placed sixth in super G at the U18 National Championships. Sockett also qualified for the U.S. National Championships in Squaw Valley, Calif., though she did not attend the event, choosing instead to keep training.
Her next event will take place on her home turf in Breckenridge from Monday through Thursday.
"I've had some good results, especially in speed, so I've been happy," she said of her 2012-13 season. She added that she's looking forward to skiing in Breckenridge. "For the races coming up, I learned a lot over in Europe in my training, so I want to try and race like I've been training and be put into some difficult hill situations and see how that goes."
She hopes that her performance in Breckenridge will lower her points and improve her overall rankings.
Sockett's family is just happy that she's home, even if just for a little while.
"It's great to have her back when she's here," Lisa Sockett said.
Sockett's younger sister also skies, and Sockett said the two of them will occasionally hit the slopes together to relax and have fun.
To other young athletes who think they may also want to pursue skiing like Sockett, she has a little advice to offer.
"It's a really good sport to learn a bunch of lessons that are important. I'd say, go out and try it because it's really fun," she said. "It's hard work but it definitely pays off. Skiing is pretty awesome. We live in a great place to do it, so why not?"

New restaurant Mountain Standard hosted a group of supporters of the town of Vail's Arts in Public Places program on Friday evening. Artists/sculptors, town of Vail officials, longtime locals, and fresh new faces (including successful, yet down-to-earth Australian actor Nathaniel Buzolic) came together to celebrate. Guests mingled with restaurant owner Matt Morgan and his talented crew before stepping out and taking in the impressive and dramatic ice sculpture art display.
Meandering along the Gore Creek Promenade is a magical experience any time but add the glowing illumination of ice sculpture and it is downright mystical. Thanks to the handiwork and hard work of Paul Wertin and Kent Roberg of Alpine Ice and Nathan Cox of Pink Monkey Solutions there is a spectacle to behold along the babbling Gore Creek. As part of the town of Vail's Art in Public Places, the sixth annual Triumph Winterfest exhibition celebrates all things Vail and mountain culture through interactive and visual arts.
In addition to the aspen tree and lantern-inspired ice sculptures, there is an inaugural installation of the Logan Ice Theater, was made possible through matching donations from Triumph Partners and Vail art aficionados Vicki and Kent Logan. Videos, including Warren Miller Entertainment's montage and homage to Vail, are projected onto the Logan Ice Theater's 10 foot-tall screen created from blocks of ice. Watch footage of Vail from 1962 to present times. In honor of Vail's 50th Anniversary there are additional film segments, including "Vail...Timeless" and "The Call of the Mountains - 50 Years of the Vail Ski and Snowboard School."
Town of Vail Arts in Public Places Coordinator Molly Eppard spoke to the crowd gathered outside in the Logan Ice Theater.
"Triumph Partners has been so generous to the Arts in Public Places program by donating financially, so that, we can bring these exhibitions to us ... also, I really want to thank Warren Miller Entertainment. They provided this great footage and it was just an easy collaboration to work with them."
Eppard also thanked the Logans for their dedication to the arts and her co-workers at the town of Vail and the AIPP board of directors. Eppard was then treated to a loud congratulatory round of applause from her peers for her commitment to art and contribution to the community. To learn more, visit www.artinvail.com.

first of all superb piece of software. I really like it.
Is there any way to use the ATI STREAM function with any kind of codec that are available?
Would be great if ATI Users could use their GPU as well for transcoding.

LEBANON, N.H. (AP) � The City Council in Lebanon, N.H., has defeated a plan to expand a runway at the Lebanon Municipal Airport.

SAN JOSE -- The Sharks may have broken their three-game losing streak with that 2-1 shootout victory over the Chicago Blackhawks, but they're still in their offensive doldrums as they face the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday night.
And while that troubles Coach Todd McLellan, he also focused on what his team did accomplish its last time out.
"We're still concerned," he said after his team's morning skate. "But you have to have the ability to win like we did against Chicago and we may need that again tonight."
Scoring comes in spurts for every team, McLellan added, which is why the Sharks need to show they can win without getting a lot of goals.
"You never know if you get to the playoffs, if you're lucky enough, timing may say that you're going through a bit of a slump," he said. "So can you win games playing strong defensive hockey?"
Joe Thornton leads the team with 55 points, but now has gone four games without a point — his longest scoreless stretch of the season. Linemate Brent Burns has gone 13 games without a goal — his longest drought since being converted from defense to forward in March 2012.
So what does Thornton feel he needs to do to get the line going again?
"We're getting our chances. Just put some finish on the game," he said. "I've been telling Burnzie, we don't need to press. We've been getting good chances. Just stick with it and we'll be OK."
Rookie Matt Nieto again will be the third member of the line when the Sharks face the Flyers. Goalie Antti Niemi is getting the start for San Jose while Philadelphia will have Steve Mason, who has thrown shutouts in two of his past three games, in goal.
Based on lines at the morning skate, it looked as if Tyler Kennedy would be back in the Sharks lineup after missing the past two games with a lower body injury, but McLellan did not confirm that Kennedy was playing.
The Flyers have not beaten the Sharks since Dec. 21, 2000, but McLellan wasn't attaching any significance to his team's 13-game streak without a loss.
"It is a long time, but it's different every year. We're not putting anything into that," he said. "Coches change, players change. In past years we only played them once sometimes, whether it was in our building or their building. There isn't even a story there as far as I'm concerned. It just doesn't exist. We're playing tonight. We'll play later on in the month, and those will be the two games that create a streak or a story."
