Steve Busby is in his third full season as the television play-by-play voice of Rangers games on FSSW and TXA21. The former major league pitcher moved to television full-time from the radio booth in June 2012.
He joined the Rangers radio broadcast team in 2011. Busby has been a part of Rangers radio and television coverage for over 25 years. Before joining the radio broadcast full-time, he served as a lead analyst on Fox Sports Southwest's pre and post-game Rangers programming while working a limited schedule of television and radio games over the previous several years.
Busby originally joined the Rangers broadcast team in 1982, serving as the analyst on television games on KXAS-TV (1982-84) and Home Sports Entertainment (1983-85). He then spent ten seasons calling Rangers games on KTVT-TV, working as an analyst from 1986-89 and as lead play-by-play announcer from 1990-95.
His broadcasting career also includes two stints with the Kansas City Royals and major league and college game coverage on CBS Radio and ESPN.
Drafted by Kansas City in the second round of the June 1971 Draft after an outstanding collegiate career at the University of Southern California, Busby had a 70-54 record and 3.72 ERA in 167 games over eight major league seasons, all with the Royals. The right-hander is the only pitcher to toss a no-hitter in each of his first two big league seasons, April 27, 1973 at Detroit and June 19, 1974 at Milwaukee. Busby posted 22 wins in 1974 and 18 victories in 1975 and was an AL All-Star both seasons. From 1973-75, he averaged nearly 19 wins, 263.2 innings, and 177 strikeouts per season.
A torn rotator cuff forced him to miss all of the 1977 season and hampered him for the rest of his career, which ended in 1980. Busby is tied for fifth in Royals history with 53 complete games, has the seventh best winning percentage at .565, and is tied for tenth in wins. He joined Amos Otis as a member of the inaugural class in the Kansas City Royals Hall of Fame in 1986.
In addition to his broadcasting duties, Busby has worked extensively as a private pitching instructor to amateur players. Steve is married to Pam and has five children, Melissa, Michelle, Stephanie, Sara, and Steven. The family lives in Grapevine.
Tom Grieve is in his 21st season as the primary analyst in the Rangers' television booth after debuting on Prime Sports broadcasts in 1995, the longest tenure of any TV broadcaster in club history. Elected to the Rangers Hall of Fame in 2010, he has been with the Washington/Texas franchise for nearly 47 of his 48 years in professional baseball.
Named the Rangers' Vice President and General Manager September 1984, Grieve became the youngest General Manager in baseball at the time. He remained in the position until September 1994, still the longest tenure of any General Manager in team history. Grieve was the Senators' first round pick in the October, 1966 June free agent draft after an outstanding high school career in his hometown of Pittsfield, Massachusetts. He played in the majors with the Senators, Rangers, Mets and Cardinals from 1970-79. Grieve was the Rangers' Player of the Year in 1976 with career bests of 20 homers and 81 RBI.
He joined the Rangers' front office as director of group sales in 1980, became assistant director of player development in 1981, and was promoted to director of player development after the 1982 season.
Tom and his wife, Kathy, have three children, all accomplished athletes. His oldest son Tim, a 1994 graduate of Texas Christian University, pitched in the Kansas City and Arizona organizations and is now a Texas scout for the Detroit Tigers. His son Ben was the 2nd pick in the nation in the 1994 June draft and played nine major league seasons with the A's, Devil Rays, Brewers, and Cubs, earning 1998 American League Rookie of the Year honors with Oakland. Daughter Katie was an all-state volleyball player at Arlington Martin HS and went on to play at Auburn University. She graduated from the University of Texas in 2000. Tom and Kathy have eight grandchildren.
Jose Guzman returns to the Spanish radio booth in 2015, serving as an analyst on approximately half the regular season games. The former major league pitcher previously served in that role on a fulltime basis from 2004-09 and has worked a select number of games on radio for the last several years.
Guzman provided analysis on the Rangers Spanish home television broadcasts from 2010-13. He also makes appearances in the community on behalf of the team. Guzman compiled an 80-74 record in 193 career appearances with the Rangers and Cubs from 1985-93. He won 11 or more games four times with Texas and was the team's Pitcher of the Year and AL Comeback Player of the Year in 1991. Shoulder injuries plagued him for much of his career, although he came out of retirement to pitch for the Independent Fort Worth Cats in 2001 and 2002.
Matt Hicks is in his third full season in the Texas Rangers radio booth after joining the broadcasts in June 2012. Hicks came to the Rangers from the Corpus Christi Hooks, the Houston Astros Texas League affiliate, where he had served as Director of Broadcasting and Media Relations since 2005. In that role, he was the primary play-by-play voice on all radio broadcasts and called Hooks television games on Fox Sports Southwest's Astros Minor League Game of the Week from 2007-09.
Hicks has 26 years of professional baseball play-by-play experience, making stops with Frederick of the Carolina League from 1989-94 and El Paso of the Texas League from 1995-2004 before becoming an inaugural employee at Corpus Christi. He is a former winner of the Radio Broadcaster of the Year Award in El Paso.
In addition, Hicks has extensive experience broadcasting college basketball with Mount St. Mary's College (Emmitsburg, MD), James Madison University (Harrisonburg, VA), the University of Texas-El Paso, New Mexico State University, and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. He was also the first play-by-play voice of the El Paso Buzzards of the Western Professional Hockey League. During his time in Corpus Christi, Hicks also broadcast high school football on the Texas Sports Radio Network's CCISD Game of the Week.
Hicks is a graduate of the University of Maryland in College Park, where he called baseball, football, basketball, and lacrosse on WMUC Radio. The native of Washington, DC, also was an extra in the movie Major League II, appearing in scenes featuring Bob Uecker, A.K.A. Harry Doyle.
Hicks and his wife, Estelle have a son Nathaniel and reside in Keller. Matt also has a daughter, Amy, who lives in Maryland.
A familiar face in Texas Rangers telecasts, Emily Jones returns in 2015 as the field reporter for the majority of the FOX Sports Southwest's home telecasts and a select number of road broadcasts. In addition, she serves as host of the weekly Rangers Insider show and all other in-season and off-season Rangers programming on FOX Sports Southwest as well as make appearances on behalf of the club. She also undertakes assignments for MLB Network and mlb.com.
Jones worked full-time for FOX Sports Southwest on a variety of the network's programming from 2004 through October 2013. She previously was a news reporter and sports director at KCBD-TV in Lubbock. Emily and her husband Mike have two children, Henry and Hattie, and reside in Fort Worth.
Former Rangers infielder Mark McLemore will work as the television analyst for approximately 30 home and road regular season games in 2015 as well as selected spring training telecasts. This is his second year working as a game analyst and he also has spent the last several seasons on FOX Sports Southwest's and TXA21's (2010-14) pre and post-game coverage. His broadcasting experience also includes assignments for MLB TV and Radio and ESPN Radio.
McLemore batted .259 with 272 stolen bases over 1,832 games with the Angels (1986-90), Indians (1990), Astros (1991), Orioles (1992-94), Rangers (1995-99), Mariners (2000-03), and A's (2004). The "Doctor of Defense" was the starting second baseman on Texas' three AL West championship teams in 1996, 1998, and 1999, scoring a career best 105 runs in the latter season. The switch-hitter had six seasons of 20 or more stolen bases and was the recipient of the Rangers' Jim Sundberg Community Achievement Award in 1997 and the Harold McKinney Good Guy Award in 1998.
A ninth round selection by California in the June 1982 draft, McLemore played baseball and basketball at Morse High School in San Diego. He has been actively involved in the community and in amateur sports programs in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for a number of years. Mark and his wife Capri have three children and live in Southlake.
The 2014 recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award, Eric Nadel is in his 21st year as the lead voice on the Texas Rangers radio broadcasts. It marks his 37th year broadcasting Rangers baseball, the longest tenure of any announcer in the history of the franchise and the second longest continuous current stint with one team in the American League to Kansas City's Denny Matthews (47th year in 2015).
The Ford C. Frick Award is presented annually for excellence in broadcasting by the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. Nadel is the first primary voice of the Texas Rangers to be honored with the Frick Award, which was first presented in 1978. He was a finalist for the 2011, 2012, and 2013 Frick Awards.
Nadel was honored at the Hall of Fame's Awards Presentation on July 26, 2014 in Cooperstown, New York, along with 2014 J.G. Taylor Spink Award winner Roger Angell and Buck O'Neil Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Joe Garagiola. He was inducted as the 15th member of the Texas Rangers Baseball Hall of Fame on August 11, 2012.
Nadel joined the Rangers in 1979 and called games on television and radio in his first three seasons. Beginning in 1982, he began a 13-year run with Mark Holtz as the radio team on WBAP while returning to the television booth for one year in 1984. Nadel became the team's lead radio voice on KRLD Radio when Holtz moved to television in 1995. Among his most memorable calls are Nolan Ryan's 5,000th career strikeout on August 22, 1989, the Rangers' major league record 30-run outburst on August 22, 2007, and the final outs of Game 6 of the 2010 and 2011 American League Championship Series which sent the franchise to its first two World Series.
A seven-time recipient (1999, 2001, 2002, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2011) of the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association Texas Sportscaster of the Year Award, and two-time winner of the Associated Press award for best play-by-play in Texas, Nadel is a graduate of Brown University, where he called football and hockey on the college radio station. He had minor league hockey play-by-play stints in Muskegon, MI, Oklahoma City, Dallas and Fort Worth, and was also the radio voice of the Dallas Diamonds of the Women's Professional Basketball League.
Nadel has spent several offseasons learning Spanish and has taken part in Spanish game broadcasts in numerous Latin American countries. He is also the author of three books, including Texas Rangers: The Authorized History, published in 1997.
Eric is very active in the local music scene, annually presenting a Birthday Benefit Concert at the Kessler Theater. This year's concert on April 30 benefits Focus On Teens, an organization that serves homeless teens in DISD schools. (focusonteens.org). Since last spring, Eric has been the Music Director of the Vagabond, a restaurant-bar on lower Greenville in Dallas, where he books the bands.
A 1991 inductee in the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame, Nadel and his wife, Jeannie, reside in Dallas with their dog, Kirby, a Yorkie mix.
Eleno Ornelas is in his 16th season as a radio broadcaster for all Rangers Spanish, his 13th as the lead play-by-play announcer. In addition to his broadcast duties, Ornelas contributes to the Rangers Hispanic marketing and community initiatives in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex on a year-round basis.
In January 2014, Ornelas was presented with the 2014 Golden Microphone Award from the National Association of Mexico Broadcasters, the organization's highest award.
Ornelas began his broadcasting career at KRVA Radio in Dallas in 1993 before moving KESS-AM as a fulltime sports announcer in 1998. He joined the Rangers organization as a full-time employee in 2003. In addition to the Rangers, Ornelas has done radio play-by-play for the Dallas Mavericks and covered the Dallas Cowboys and Dallas Burn during his tenure with KESS. He currently does Spanish radio broadcasts for Oklahoma City Thunder home games. Ornelas is a native of Juarez, Mexico and was a professional baseball announcer in that country before coming to Texas. He has an extensive background as an administrator in the Mexican amateur baseball leagues in North Texas, serving as President of the Dallas League from 1993-98.
Jared Sandler is in his first season as the full-time pre and postgame host for the Texas Rangers Radio Network. He will also do play-by-play on a select number of Rangers broadcasts in 2015. Sandler served as the backup for this same role during the 2014 season. In addition to his duties with the Rangers, Jared also fulfills various on-air responsibilities with the team's flagship, 105.3 The Fan (CBS).
A native of Dallas, Sandler most recently worked for 103.3 FM ESPN as an on-air host. Prior to his return to DFW, he spent two years with ESPN 100.9 FM/Great Lakes Loons (Midwest League), calling play-by-play for baseball, basketball, and football, as well as hosting the region's highest-rated afternoon drive sports talk show.
A graduate of the University of Southern California (USC) in 2011, Sandler earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and a minor in Entrepreneurial Studies. While at USC, in addition to directing the student-led sports radio station and working with ESPN 710 in Los Angeles, Jared also was a member of the school's baseball program, serving as a practice player and aiding in baseball operations. He resides in Dallas.

Focusing screens
I have been looking around the net to find a split image focusing screen for my D600. Katzeye makes one for the D7000, but the screens are not the same.
I have been in touch with Katzeye, and they were not encouraging, although they didn't rule out the possibility of making one.
This is not my number one priority, but it would be nice to have a split image for manual focus.
Any ideas?

Hi Tom,
Katzeye products are excellent and would be my first choice as well.
I am not aware of anyone else making focusing screens for the D600.
Have you tried using Live View with a tripod to Manually focus instead of the viewfinder?
Best Regards,
#3. "RE: Focusing screens" | In response to Reply # 1tfeazel Nikonian since 12th Sep 2004Fri 19-Apr-13 02:24 PM
Yes, I use live view fairly regularly.
Trouble is, it's not very fast.

Her's the word, directly from KatzEye, when I inquired about screens for the D600:
At this point, we have not yet had the opportunity to study the D600, so I cannot say with certainty. However, given the difficulty we have encountered with the design of Nikon's recent full frame cameras, and the unavailability of Nikon parts for use in R&D, it is unlikely we will be able to support the D600 model. I will keep your email on file, and if there is any news regarding the D600 camera, I will be sure to let you know. Thanks again for your interest in KatzEye Optics products and if you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.
This was October 2012.

Phoney Supermarket Price War Is All in the Mind
"PRICE WAR!" has long been an essential weapon in the retail journalists headline arsenal–emotive, self-explanatory, guaranteed to attract worried readers with shrinking bank balances–but is now so universally misused as to be almost meaningless.
Nostalgic analysts scoff at the headlines, commenting that the last real price war was in 1999 when Tesco and newly Wal-mart-owned Asda slashed prices, cutting into supermarket profits across the industry. Since then typesetters have hauled out the "Price War" banner every January as the grocers purport to cut prices, but ultimately there's very little profit shed come February. It's in no supermarket's interest to be the first to draw blood when they know, with such stiff competition, that everyone will suffer.
Instead the war of the words continues. Asda and Tesco continue to battle it out in the halls of the Advertising Standards Authority, with 60 separate adjudication judgements in the last five years involving the two largest supermarket chains.
And still the hoopla prevails. A full week before Tesco's latest value volley–The Big Price Drop–was revealed, chatter in the market and rumours of a major price move had permeated all the newspapers, securing enviably free 'Price War' publicity despite the coy "no comment" coming from the U.K's grocery juggernaut.
Then when all was revealed the hue and cry was replaced by a sigh of relief from analysts and investors as they realised the £500 million ($778.1 million) headline cuts would be funded predominantly by reducing other promotions, accusations of smokes and mirrors from Sainsbury, and a snigger from Asda who merely claimed their Asda price guarantee had already ended all price wars.
While Asda hasn't responded beyond reiterating that they guarantee to be 10% cheaper than their biggest rivals or you pocket the difference, Sainsbury, the UK's third-largest supermarket chain, Sunday responded with its own headline grabbing move to roll out branded price-matching of Tesco and Asda products in the U.K. after a small trial in Northern Ireland.
The Price War headlines predictably ensued but few in the industry believe it.
"We believe that a price war requires significant gross margin investment and leads to profit downgrades," Shore capital analyst Clive Black said in a note to clients Monday. He believes the Tesco price drop has turned the margin screws but doesn't amount to a major move.
And the exclusions that apply to Sainsbury's price match (which focuses on branded goods, not the substantial sale of its own-brands and fuel) "suggests that the direct gross margin impact should be small", according to Bernstein analyst Chris Hogbin. Instead he believes the move should help maintain or improve Sainsbury's price perception.
So while grocery baskets will hopefully be a little cheaper now, and it will cost all the supermarkets some margin to offer these cuts, both Tesco and Sainsbury will earn more in intangible price perception points than they pay to knock a few pence off an already expensive basket of goods (food inflation remains stubbornly at 5%).
These days the battle for the wallets of wary shoppers is as much about how they are perceived as how many pennies you can save at each ring of the till.

Ron Baker's family left Scott City to make the 11 hour drive to St. Louis earlier this week. They're here to cheer on their son and the Shockers as they continue on the road to the Final Four.
Ranae Baker says she'll never get used to her son on national TV, but she's proud of how he and his team carry themselves with so many watching.
"That's one thing Coach Marshall stressed when we met him. He wants his team to be respectful to everyone they meet and you can see that in all they do," Ranae said.
Ranae says she still gets nervous before every game, especially heading into the NCAA tournament. But she says she's just trying to enjoy the ride and she's thankful to a team and game that's given her family so much.
"Ron has been to more places than I will ever go with the team, but when we can, we'll hop in the car and travel along," Ranae said.

School is right around the corner, and that means you should be on the lookout for back-to-school scams.
South Carolina's Department of Consumer Affairs says if you have to apply for scholarships and financial aid to make ends meet, you'll want to beware of any supposed scholarship representatives that ask you to pay up front for scholarship information or ask for credit card information.
Also, be careful whom you hand out your child's vital information to, even if it's a sports team, doctor's office or school organization.
Make them explain why they need it.
If you're considering getting a cell phone for your child, be careful with the "no contract" or "no obligation" sale offers. Often times, these plans include hidden fees or don't always deliver exactly what they promise.
And, if you're thinking about getting your child a credit card, watch out for those unbelievable low-interest rate offers. Often times, those are for a limited time and will skyrocket after the promotional period ends.

Retail hub planned on Laurel Road east of I-75
Published: Tuesday, January 28, 2014 at 5:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 28, 2014 at 6:15 p.m.
VENICE - Vacant stores and undeveloped retail properties have dominated what was intended to be a commercial hub at Laurel Road and Knights Trail east of Interstate 75.
On Tuesday, the Venice City Council also discussed or heard about the following:
The Woods at Venice
Developer Pat Neal said he wants to meet with residents in the Border Road and Jackson Road area who object to the density of his proposed The Woods at Venice subdivision at the northwest corner of that intersection.
Neal said he wants to resolve residents' concerns before the project is considered in public hearings by the Planning Commission and City Council.
City officials have received numerous letters expressing opposition to the development.
Dance pad reconsidered
The council will reconsider a prior decision in favor of construction of a concerete dance pad at Centennial Park.
Representatives of the downtown merchants association Venice MainStreet and the Venice Book Fair and Authors Festival complained that a 12-foot-by-14-foot dance floor in front of the gazebo would interfere with their uses of the park for events that require tents and take up too much green space.
Kat Quast, executive director of Venice MainStreet, suggested the city acquire a portable dance floor that can be stored when not in use.
More than 75 people petitioned the city for a concrete dance floor. Tom Marovich, owner of homebuilder Northern Precision, offered to donate materials and labor.
Legacy Trail support
At the request of Friends of the Legacy Trail, the council unanimously supported the idea of Sarasota County extending the hiking and biking trail from Palmer Ranch to Payne Park near downtown Sarasota. The trail already extends south into Venice.
Tax exemption for PGT
The council granted a partial property tax exemption to PGT Industries, a manufacturer of storm-resistant windows and doors, in exchange for its $10.6 million expansion that will add 642 full-time workers to the 1,409 now on its payroll by 2019.
For 10 years, PGT will save $24,424 a year based on the current city tax rate.
Voters approved the tax exemption program in August 2010.
But with the cloud from the Great Recession fading, business appears to be picking up.
Another sign came Tuesday when John Peshkin of Laurel Road Property LLC asked the city of Venice to approve a mixed-use project on 50 undeveloped acres at the northeast corner of the intersection.
Called "Portofino," Peshkin's development would replace another proposed by developer Mike Miller in 2007 that included a 200,000-square-foot Walmart, which many residents opposed.
Portofino would include 425,000 square feet of retail and office buildings and 650 single-family homes, villas, townhouses and assisted living facilities.
Businesses could include restaurants, a garden center, hotel, day-care center, banks and doctors' offices. The maximum building height would be four stories.
Churches, arenas and movie theatres are not included but could be allowed if approved separately by the City Council.
Peshkin agreed, in writing, that prohibited businesses include pain management clinics, adult entertainment venues, utility plants, manufacturers and warehouses.
Many residents of the nearby Willow Chase and Venetian Golf and River Club subdivisions, with whom Peshkin conducted several meetings, still dislike the idea of a "big-box" store.
They spoke favorably about Portofino to the City Council, though. They foresee a need for smaller commercial uses in the area, even though the existing The Shoppes at Laurel Square on the northwest corner of the same crossroads remains mostly vacant.
Jerry Jasper, a board member for the community development district for Venetian Golf and River Club, would prefer some components of Portofino be approved on "a case by case basis." Otherwise, he thinks more retail and professional services will be "beneficial" for new and future residents.
Richard Barber, a vice president of WCI Communities (which is still developing Venetian Golf and River Club), expressed support as well.
"The area has been underserved by retail and restaurant services," Barber said.
Portofino is south of Toscana Isles, a subdivision of more than potential 1,000 homes on Knights Trail where construction could begin this spring.
Habitat for Humanity South Sarasota County intends to build homes on a two-acre site between Toscana Isles and Portofino.
Judy Wilcox, Habitat's director, said the nonprofit favors Portofino as well.
"We wanted to make sure we weren't a little island out there with nothing around us," Wilcox said.
Jeff Boone, attorney for Laurel Road Property LLC, said including a residential component in Portofino will increase demand for its retail and other businesses in the vicinity.
"It's ideally located," Boone said, noting the site's proximity to Interstate 75 and Laurel Road. "... Now that the Great Recession has ended, the Laurel Road corridor is ready for development."
The City Council will get another look at the project in a second public hearing in a few weeks.
Laurel Road Property LLC is under contract to buy the site from OB Waterford LLC, which is based in Lafayette, La.

President Bush unveiled a plan to privatize the Social Security program during his State of the Union address and Wednesday U.S. Senator Ken Salazar, (D-Colorado), met with residents in Grand Junction to discuss the proposed overhaul. Salazar spent about an hour stating his case with the Social Security program, which President Bush said was in a crisis situation, isn't really in any immediate danger.
The newly elected senator told the audience of mostly retired residents, by 2014 the president's plan would double the nation's yearly deficit. The deficit is already projected to be 400 billion dollars and would drastically slash Social Security benefits. Salazar adds there are other programs that demand immediate action. The senator admits minor changes to the Social Security program are needed, not a complete restructuring.
Salazar also met with Grand Junction residents and officials on his first trip to the Western Slope since he was elected in November.

Harrison County sheriff's investigators have arrested a Saucier couple accused of running a chop shop involving more than $250,000 in stolen property.
Sheriff Melvin Brisolara identified them as 36-year-old Herbert Edward Snell and 30-year-old Rebecca Nicole Pennington.
Brisolara says investigators suspect Snell led an operation that involved stealing vehicles, trailers and equipment, dismantling them and selling the parts across South Mississippi.
Snell and Pennington each face one count of operating a chop shop and five felony counts of receiving stolen property.
Bonds were set at $180,000 for Snell and $170,000 for Pennington.
It was unclear whether Snell and Pennington have attorneys.

AIPS members from 94 nations voted in this year's poll placing Roger overwhelmingly in the number one place beating Brazilian footballer Kakà (Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite) who plays for Italian Serie A team A.C. Milan and won this year's Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year awards. 100 metre world record holder, Jamaican sprinter Asafa Powell followed in third place.
World No 1 and 2007 French and US Open winner Justine Henin who is currently preparing for the Australian Open Tournament beat Swedish athletics star Carolina Klüft and Croatian World Champion high jumper Blanka Vlasic for the AIPS top female honour.
2007 Champions League trophy holders A.C. Milan were voted Team of the Year, followed by 2007 Rugby World Cup winners South Africa and Formula One Team Ferrari.

RegexUrlResolver's _get_reverse_dict appends objects of unknown type to the reverse dict

|url, urlresolver, regexurlpattern, regexurlresolver
|Triage Stage:

In _get_reverse_dict:
if isinstance(pattern, RegexURLResolver): # ... else: bits = normalize(p_pattern) self._reverse_dict.appendlist(pattern.callback, (bits, p_pattern)) self._reverse_dict.appendlist(pattern.name, (bits, p_pattern))
In the else branch it is implicitly assumed that pattern is of type RegexURLPattern (it uses its properties). This does not have to be the case. For example, one could create a different kind of RegexURLResolver which does not inherit RegexURLResolver. This resolver would be handled as a RegexURLPattern instance and added to the reverse dict.
Patch is a short one: replace "else" with "elif isinstance(pattern, RegexURLPattern):".

Why? What's the usecase here?

- Resolution set to wontfix
- Status changed from new to closed
Whilst supporting more generic URL resolving classes is a goal, I don't think this is the solution. We need to fix the reversing support to allow handing off to lower-level classes in those cases and this means coming up with an internal interface protocol for what they need to support (probably just a reverse method, but it needs a bit of planning). So I'm going to wontfix this particular item and then in the 1.2 timeframe or thereabouts, we can work out a general plan for this. The current ticket and patch assume a solution, rather than necessarily fleshing out that it's solving the right problem and I think the problem is a little broader than that.

Speculators Haven't Piled Into Treasurys Ahead of Operation Twist
You'd think, on the eve of Operation Twist, when the Fed will be buying a bunch of Treasurys, that speculators would have piled into Treasurys waiting to sell them back to Ben Bernanke. Instead, they've emptied their shelves of them.
The latest Commitment of Traders data from the CFTC shows that speculators are essentially flat, maybe a little short, in Treasurys, notes David Ader, chief government bond strategist at CRT Capital.
"Compare positons today to where they were last fall going into QE2," Mr. Ader writes. "Here we note how LESS bullishly exposed people are — essentially flat to a very little short."
This could mean there's more support for the Treasury market going into Operation Twist than there was going into QE2, when, as apparently nobody remembers, Treasury prices fell and Treasury yields rose. Mr. Ader writes:
The bottom line is that, yes, the market has priced in a lot of what the Fed is likely to do, but that positions do not reflect gross exposure to that outcome. In other words, there's no great position need to sell once the cat is out of the bag (another cliché) and as such the current state of the market stands in very sharp contrast to the great anticipation for QE2. Thus we may get a retracement if, as we expect, the FOMC gives us a big yawn but this won't prove to be the grand reversal like we had last year and, indeed, we would be committed shallow dip buyers. Simply put, there's not a lot of paper to sell into the Fed that won't leave people short at a time economically when we don't advise being short duration.

Ripley High boasts one of the state's best baseball traditions. Many of those players of years gone by will be making a return to scene of their glory years as the former Vikings are planning an alumni softball event on Saturday, July 21.
Former players will be divided into four teams for the softball action at Viking Park. The teams will be assigned to teams based on their year of graduation. Teams will be 1989 and earlier grads (odd years vs. even years) and 1990-2012 grads (odd years vs. even years).
"We're already getting a lot of interest in this," said Coach Shane Casto. "This is going to be a fun time to meet up with teammates and raise funds for the baseball program. We have a great facility here and we want to make it even better."
Participants must pre-register no later than Sunday, July 15 by calling Casto (304-440-0021), Frankie Cummings (304-531-9956), Mike Lawrence (304-531-5601) or Mike Ruben (304-532-4865).
Participation will be a minimum donation of $20, which includes a Viking Alumni game shirt. When calling to register, players should leave their name, year of graduation, phone number, email address (if available) and shirt size.
The day's activities will include a baseball homerun derby hitting contest that is open to anyone for $10. Fans will be admitted to the games at no charge. Concessions will be available.
In the event of bad weather, the rain date will be Sunday, July 22.

"In my very first NFL game, I completed my first pass to Hall of Fame running back Marshall Faulk. I threw a touchdown in that same game to Marvin Harrison, who will be inducted into the Hall of Fame this August. The quarterback for our opponent, the Miami Dolphins, was, after my dad, my favorite player – Hall of Famer Dan Marino – who on the first third down of the game completed a 25-yard skinny post and it was the damndest throw I'd ever seen. Later, I completed a pass to tight end Marcus Pollard down the middle and somebody hit me really hard and after I got up I told myself, 'I know I can play in this league.'

Police look for drunk drivers on graduation weekend
Columbia officers planning sobriety checkpoint for MU celebrations
After the graduation ceremonies, police expect the celebration to last into the night. They want to try and deter people from drinking and driving.
Columbia police along with the Boone County Sheriff's Department are planning on setting up a sobriety check point sometime during the weekend.
Cops are expecting about 10 to 12 people to be arrested at the checkpoint. They didn't tell ABC 17 News where they're planning on setting it up, but did say there are a few areas they have targeted.
They say anytime there are big celebrations like graduations, people are more tempted to drink and drive. Cops hope they can prevent some accidents before they happen.
"Educate people about the dangers of drinking and driving, and then the checkpoints are kind of a way to even more enforce that, and drive that point home that there are consequences to drinking and driving," Columbia police officer Joe Bernhard explains.
Cops believe this will deter some people from drinking and driving. They believe if the public knows they're out looking specifically for this, it will change the way people go about their night.

Liverpool Message Board
Team to face Manure?
Wembley baby!! One Manc put away at Anfield, one to go! What a great performance by the boys and what an absolute cracker of a game, played the whole range of emotions on me! Take a bow Craigy! But the question is, can he make another start on Saturday? I think the answer is no but we will have to wait and see. Dirk Kuyt deserves a mention too, hes had a shocking season but put in a wonder shift last night.

I'm really surprised by how quiet it is on here today. Have not had a chance to get on until now, but see very little has been posted.
It would be hard to know that we have a game against the mancs in less than 24 hours. Normally the board would be swarmed with some trying to have a little banter and others just trying weakly to wind us up. But all we've had is a bit of clucking from someone talking about men in white sheets.
Has the City result shut them up, or is there a real fear that Utd are about to fall out of yet another cup? I did take a look at the Utd board, but that seems dead also, with just a few of them staring at their navels worried about who is fit and who is not.

We want Kuyt and Gerrard featured prominently , and despite opinions to the otherwise we want Bellamy to play most of this match. I'd start him and give him as much of the ninety minutes as he desires. Just this fan's opinion.
I suspect that both side's supporters are just a touch nervously apprehensive. Isn't football grand. I love it. ( Thus the lack of comments , I'm guessing ).
As with 99% of true Liverpool supporters I hope that no fans take verbal pot shots at the wee hypocrite evra , but I reckon time will tell. All the FA did with their heavy-handed-to-the-point-of-being-owned-by-SAF ridiculous eight match suspension is to make themselves look rather one-sided and foolish. And now , given that they can view a tape of evra saying the same exact words that he got Luis Suarez suspended for........one hopes that the FA are rightly embarrassed. So they should be.
Come on you Reds !

I'd like to see Bellamy start as well as he's more than hot at the moment, but think your right, 3 starts in 7 days maybe pushing things, and while he may look fit, we don't want to loose him to a silly injury. In fact while no one can take anything from him last night, I did notice just before he came off he was not running the channels when we were looking for an outlet man, so was glad to see him subbed off when he was. Carroll did very little last night but eating up a minute or so with Johnson in the corner was his job and he got it done.
A tweak from your line up I might suggest is putting Henderson in the slot rather than Gerrard like he was last night. Hendo may not have got many shout outs last night but I was impressed with both him and Bellars defending from the front and keeping City pinned back. I also appreciated Gerrard sitting deep with a cool head which I think also gave Adam confidence when we weren't on the ball. Just maybe a better balance.
Lastly I'd start Downing over Maxi. Maxi has the technical skills on the ball, but is not the best defending, nor is he blessed with great pace. Utd are weak imo in the center so if they are going to hurt us it's by getting the ball wide and attacking with pace. Nani might be out, but they still have options wide. Also I think Downing had one of his best games with us last night. He looked like Kuyt out there at times not giving up on balls, and I think may have taken Kenny's words from the Bolton match to heart.

Unless KD, the physios and Craig (though he'd always would) say/think Bellamy is 100% fit, I wouldn't start him, but certainly feel good about having him availble for even 45 if needed. Though, if he starts up front, he still does less running and tracking back as opposed to on the flanks, so I wouldn't completely rule it out, knowing Suarez (perhaps a signing) are availbe for Wolves.
Knowing that the backline and rb spot are a concern, and not sure over Bellamy, for me:
Doni, Bellamy, Jonjo, Kelly, Carra, Maxi, Coates
Also the wildcard thought that Spearing is fit, and if so, I'd definitely give him the nod in the deep middle, perhaps give Stevie a blow..
Who's manure ?
Doesn't make sense

Same selection as you guys and Bellamy for Carroll. Manure is a rather dirty substance that stinks John. Makes sense.

I wish you were right Jason. Boy we missed his spark. Let's hope he brings his shooting boots, worms up with a couple of goals against the spuds and a hatrick against the scum!
ferdinand, vidic and jones are all out for them so they will be having a nightmare in defence. Evans and Smalling in CD and Rafiel at RB is there likely line up. Would be great to have Bellers and Kuyt feeling fresh to run at them. Still maybe Andy will find some room against those two.
Unless Carroll has improved considerably in the last few days I wouldn't trust him to start. I'm guessing he prob will though.
I know Carroll needs games to become match fit but we cannot use him on such a big game
Team should be
Johnson Skirtl Agger Enrique
Downing Adams Gerrard Maxi
Kuyt Bellamy

Carmel Valley Teen Korps members support Mary's Meals
By Katherine Lauerman, 7th grader at Carmel Valley Middle School
On Saturday, Jan. 22, the Carmel Valley Middle School Teen Korps chapter met at the Center For Healthy Living in Encinitas to work on a Kids M-Power project. This fun activity supported Mary's Meals, a nonprofit organization that requires only $10 to feed a child for a year, and North County Solutions for Change, a charity that aids homeless people in need.
The teens who attended made artwork with an art specialist and were allowed to paint whatever came to mind. Also, there was the option of making jewelry with a jewelry specialist, and creations ranged from necklaces to earrings. These pieces of art will be sold to benefit the charities. This event was not only helpful, but fun and creative. Hopefully, CVMS Teen Korp members will be able to participate in many more events like this one.

Author of Multiculturalism Study Afraid To Publish Results
Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam, author of Bowling Alone, recently completed a five year study on the effects of immigration, ethnic diversity, and multiculturalism and was shocked by his own results— so shocked he fears releasing the findings which could have a big impact on the immigration debate currently raging.
According to the results of Putnam's research, immigration and ethnic diversity have a markedly negative short and medium term effect on the social capital, fabric of associations, trust, and neighborliness that create and sustain communities. According to Putnam, not only does immigration and ethnic diversity reduce social capital between ethnic groups, but also within the groups themselves. The problem isn't ethnic conflict or troubled racial relations, but withdrawal and isolation. According to Putnam: "In colloquial language, people living in ethnically diverse settings appear to 'hunker down'—that is, to pull in like a turtle."
Putnam is so disturbed by his findings that he told The Financial Times in October of 2006 "he had delayed publishing his research until he could develop proposals to compensate for the negative effects of diversity." He said it "would have been irresponsible to publish without that." Putnam has also not made details of his study available for examination by peers and the public, with only an initial summary of his findings published.

My latest stand up show. Am I finally happy? Will that destroy me as a comedian? Or does happiness bring its own problems?
This is a mildly disturbing short film that I am in that has already won the ECU film festival Audience Award.
After covering weighty issues like death, love, religion and spam javelins, 'The King of Edinburgh' (6 Music) is in a frivolous mood with this show about daftness, whether the term cool comedian is an oxymoron, bouncing joyously on the sofa and how Herring's whole career is a failed attempt to top a piece of visual slapstick comedy he came up with at 16. Can he revisit the joke thirty years on or will it smash his old bones?

Your EOS camera captures images in a 'raw' format. This is neither an abbreviation nor a technical term. It simply means 'not processed'.
The raw data comes from the millions of pixels that make up the camera sensor. Each pixel is photosensitive and responds to light by generating a small electric current. The value of each current is converted to a digital format. This mass of data forms the bulk of the raw image file.
This tutorial will explain how you can use these raw files to refine the decisions you made when you took the original photo.
• Raw vs. JPEG
• Canon Digital Photo Professional (DPP)
- Navigating DPP
- Brightness
- White balance
- Picture Style
- Contrast
- Color tone
- Color saturation
- Sharpness
- Saving Images
JPEG vs. raw
JPEG is an abbreviation and used to describe a method of reducing the large amount of data captured by the camera to a smaller file. It does this by checking various settings on the camera, such as white balance, Picture Style, Contrast, Color saturation, Color tone and Sharpness. The camera processes the image according to these values and discards all the information not required. A JPEG image is also compressed which reduces the size of the file when it is saved, but allows it to open to a larger size when viewed.
An advantage of shooting JPEG files is that the images can be printed, transmitted or saved without any further work. The disadvantage is that you have limited ability to change the image once it is taken.
Many photographers prefer to shoot and save raw files. Here, all the data from the sensor is saved with minimal processing. The advantage of a raw file is that you can make many of the shooting decisions when the image is opened on a computer.
If you shoot a JPEG file in Daylight with the white balance set to Tungsten, it is a major problem. With a raw file you select the white balance after the exposure, so it is no problem at all. There are many other characteristics you can change and adjust, giving more control over the image than you had at the time of shooting.

A former nurse, Foster said she had a plate inserted after badly injuring her neck in 2005, when she was attacked by a patient suffering from a mental illness. Twice she was turned down before finally receiving Social Security disability benefits in 2009. "I have to tell you, when you're told you cannot return to nursing because of your disability, you don't know how long I cried about that," Foster said. "And then Social Security says, 'Oh no, you don't qualify.' You don't know what that does to you emotionally. You have no idea." (AP Photo/Brett Flashnick)

- The early changes involved a delay in the timing of electrical recovery of the heart muscle following each beat, whereas the later changes involved the loss of electrical synchrony among various regions of the heart.
1.1The state of operating or developing according to the same time scale as something else: some individuals do not remain in synchrony with the twenty-four-hour day

When it comes to video playback, there are way too many choices available – even if you look at only the FREE options. Within that selection, some players are fantastic and others are sorely lagging behind their competitors, and the most popular ones aren't always the best ones. The difficulty is taking the time to separate the wheat from the chaff. That's what I'm here to do so you don't have to settle for less than best.
Comparing Windows media players is actually a pretty difficult task. Yes, some players are more feature-packed while others are barebones. Yes, some players are easier to use out-of-the-box thanks to off-the-bat codec support and such. Yes, some players are uglier or prettier. But ultimately the choice comes down to your own preferences – I use a few different ones from this list, personally.
Here are five of the best media players you can use on Windows for free. Take this list with a grain of salt. Try them for yourself and see which ones you like!
VLC Media Player
Back in the day, VLC used to be the king of free Windows media players. I'm not sure when I first discovered it, but it was a long while ago and the only viable alternatives were Windows Media Player or Winamp. Since then, VLC has become a little too bloated for me and I run into issues with playback from time to time, so it no longer has a home on my computer.
It's still good for playback, though, and remains extremely popular to this day thanks to its large feature set:
- Plays most media codecs without needing to install any codec packs. MPEG-2, DivX, H.264, MKV, WebM, WMV and MP3 are supported out of the box (among others).
- Cross-platform availability: Windows, Mac, Linux, and even Unix.
- Can play media straight from files, discs, devices, and webcams.
- Can play media straight from a stream URL. Supports HTTP, MMSH, RTSP, and raw formats.
- Supports skins so you can customize the interface.
If you use VLC as your main player and you want to explore some of the more obscure features, check out Saikat's overview of VLC's secret features.
Media Player Classic – Home Cinema
Despite the program's name (which admittedly sounds outdated), Media Player Classic – Home Cinema is one of the best media players I've ever used. It's designed to be a compact, no-frills sort of program, yet it does pretty much everything you'd expect from a media player. It works straight from installation without requiring any additional codec packs, except maybe for the most obscure formats.
- Simple, easy-to-use, and intuitive interface.
- Extremely lightweight and uses very few resources while playing.
- Out-of-the-box support for VCD, SVCD, and DVD file format playback.
- Using DirectShow, MPC-HC immediately supports a vast array of video format families including: AVI, MPEG, MKV, MP4, MOV, FLV, RM, WMV, MP3, AAC, FLAC, and a whole lot more.
Intrigued? Well, you should be. I've written an overview of Media Player Classic – Home Cinema so check it out to see if this is the right player for you.
GOM Player
I recently installed GOM for the first time (not only GOM media player, but GOM audio player as well) and I've fallen in love. It's like they truly know what makes me tick as a person and then used those principles to design their media software. For those who don't know, I am a big sucker for minimal and clean aesthetics when paired with strong functionality.
GOM player is the primary player for GOM-TV, a popular competitive gaming stream site in Korea, and it's no secret why. Check out their features:
- Brilliantly designed UI with a powerful skinning system.
- Codec Finder for when you try to play a video and don't have a matching codec. GOM automates the process and gets you viewing as quickly as possible.
- Control Panel that helps optimize your viewing controls with functions like in-clip repeating, subtitle controls, and a 10-band equalizer.
- Image and Audio Capture so you can isolate screencaps and audio tracks from videos.
Note: The program homepage for PotPlayer is in Korean, so I've linked to VideoHelp which maintains the most updated versions.
I know that I just mentioned above that I'm a sucker for minimal designs, but PotPlayer has sucked me in with its strange combination of interface-overload and ease-of-use. There are a lot of buttons and displays but it isn't as complicated as you'd think. Lots of options and great features make PotPlayer definitely worth checking out.
- Detailed interface that manages to not be cluttered while delivering all of the important information and controls that you need.
- Playlist controls for ease of video watching sessions, plus playlists are carried over from session to session.
- In-clip repeating that lets you define a point A and a point B, between which the media file will constantly repeat.
If you'd like to learn more, check out Tina's review of PotPlayer and how it's the perfect player for those of you who want full control.
SMPlayer doesn't have the prettiest of interfaces (it almost turned me away, actually) but it has some great functionality that may prove enough for you to overlook the lacking aesthetics. Fortunately, SMPlayer does have a skinning system that helps there. With built-in codecs, SMPlayer will handle almost anything you throw at it right away.
- Youtube Browser lets you search and browser Youtube straight from inside SMPlayer. I'm not going to lie – this feature is both fast AND awesome! You can also download a video by recording it as it plays.
- Remembers settings on a per-video basis, including track position, volume, subtitles, and more.
- Search and download subtitles easily with SMPlayer's integration with OpenSubtitles.
- Take screenshots of the current video with a single button click.
- Open source and cross-platform: Windows and Linux.
Media Player Classic – Home Cinema is my default video player and it has been for a very long time. However, both PotPlayer and GOM Player come close with their polish and feature sets, and pretty soon one of them might overtake MPC-HC for first place. But like I said before, your personal choice will be based on your own tastes.
The five players above are probably the best free Windows media players you'll find on Windows. Know of another player that deserves a mention? Share it with us in the comments!

Eastlands Homes spreads the love in Manchester Pride Parade
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Communities
Eastlands Pride
Three housing associations have teamed up to show their pride in Manchester's diversity.
Eastlands Homes, Mosscare Housing and Affinity Sutton joined forces again for the Manchester Pride Parade in late August.
Eastlands Homes chief executive Sheila Doran said: "We love to take part in this annual celebration of diversity which shows off Manchester at its best."
The theme was 'love' and Eastlands Homes said it celebrated "the hippie vibe" and decorated its float with flowers and love hearts. More than 40 staff from all three associations made an emotional return to the 1960s.
Music was provided along the route by Eastlands Homes' Youth Forum with their Brazilian drums. Several Eastlands Homes' customers also joined in on the parade or came along to cheer on the float.
To the delight of the crowd, Eastlands Homes handed out rainbow coloured beach balls.

Walsweer is a Jewish last name. For example most people who have this last name are Jewish and usually have big noses and big nostrils.

I knew this girl was a slut before I even asked her out. And after her being my girlfriend for only a week, I easily convinced her to fuck me in front of a camera! She instantly turned from a shy little girl, into a mega amateur fuck whore! She even went along with a huge sticky creampie!
