STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A nation's history is recorded in its music and there was a period in the 1950s and early 1960s when the entire country emitted with a new and wild sound that was dubbed "rock 'n roll."
A Cleveland disc jockey named Alan Freed had christened the new sound and given it life. His radio program, "Moondog Rock 'n Roll Party," reached out to the kids and the sound began to take off.
Like so much else, there was an evolution of sorts that originated in the sound known as rhythm and blues. In the early '50s, a hybrid recording by The Penguins, "Earth Angel," became the catalyst that propelled the recording industry into an uncharted territory of doo-wop and rock music.
The key words in the '50s was change and innovation. Early in the decade, the first commercial computer, the Univac, was introduced. Then came the first transistor radio followed by the first artificial satellite, Sputnik.
In 1958, the first intercontinental jet service was initiated and Alaska was admitted to the union as the 49th state. The United States' gross national product was about half of that of the entire world.
Change was evident in attitude as well. It has been since speculated that young people became rebellious in a search for identity and as a force as consumers of the new music.
The old-style 78 rpm record morphed into a smaller, more durable 45 rpm and albums were cut on 33 rpm vinyl.
Thus unfolded a slew of firsts. Bill Haley formed the first rock 'n roll band, The Comets; his hit of 1953, "Crazy, Man, Crazy," was the first rock n' roll song to hit the Billboard charts ... Alan Freed organized the first rock n' roll concert, the Moondog Coronation Ball ... Chuck Berry's songs were the first to have guitar as the "lead" instrument, emphasizing the rhythm, rather than the harmony.
Among the dozens of hits in 1958 were Berry's "Johnny B. Goode"; Little Richard's "Good Golly Miss Molly" and "Jailhouse Rock," the Leiber & Stoller hit recorded by Elvis Presley.
Three of the biggest hits of the era were born in that fateful year of 1958. All three had Staten Island ties.
The first was actually a group of five young men who grew up in South Beach, led by Vito Picone. The others were Arthur Venosa, Frank Tardogano, Carmen Romano and James Mochella. The group, Vito and the Elegants, often performed under the boardwalk near their homes and hit it big with a 1958 recording called "Little Star." By September of that year, the song topped the R&B as well as the pop charts as the No. 1 record in the country.
After splitting up, the group reunited in the early 1970s and continues to perform in this nostalgia-oriented present. "Little Star" has become one of the most popular and identifying songs of the rock 'n roll era.
Bobby Cassotto was from the Bronx, but each summer his family rented a bungalow in South Beach where the young man spent his days here on the Island. Among his South Beach buddies in those teen years was Mike Azzara, former Memories columnist for the Advance.
Better known as Bobby Darin, the singer made a name with a catchy 1958 disc called "Splish-Splash." But his greatest work was ahead of him. A jazzed-up recording of the Three-Penny Opera tune "Mack The Knife" catapulted Darin into recording history.
Multi-talented as he was, Darin will be forever identified with the enduring classic that was his benchmark as a recording artist. Sadly, Bobby Darin suffered with a heart weakened by several bouts of rheumatic fever as a child. The singer passed away in 1973 at age 37.
Born John Mastrangelo in New York City, Johnny Maestro and the Crests hit the charts with their '58 recording of "Sixteen Candles." The Mastrangelo family moved to Staten Island in the 1960s and John was a frequent visitor to his parents' home in Midland Beach.
Later in life when Maestro was ill, he stayed with his brother Ron, who lives on the Island. After several years of successful hits with the Crests, Maestro left the group for a solo career.
In 1968, he joined the Del-Satins as the lead singer and as a five-man group initiated the name The Brooklyn Bridge. The group continued to tour and record in the 2000s, and was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall Of Fame in 2005. Johnny Maestro died on March 24, 2010, from cancer at age 70.
In the Parthenon of Staten Island fame, 1958 stands out as a special year for the Island's rock 'n roll connections with Vito and the Elegants, Bobby Darin and Johnny Maestro as legends of their time.

Prom night is often something high schoolers look forward to for years, which is why some students at a Texas school surprised a very deserving classmate.
Fifteen-year-old Kennedy Brown has been battling brain cancer for the last couple years.
Her condition is getting worse, so her best friends put together a plan to give her a prom night she'd never forget.
"We realized we need to do this for her so that she can get this experience that were all going to get," event organizer Betsy Goodfriend said.
"I serenaded her. I wrote the song I sang to her (to) ask her out to prom," another friend, Alex Carranza, said.
Students dressed up and danced. By the end of the night, they awarded Kennedy the prom queen title.
"It was nice to see her smile after all she had been through," Goodfriend said.
They even held a special graduation ceremony where Principal Ramon Moss gave her an honorary degree.
The mascot of one of her favorite teams, the Houston Rockets, also made an appearance at the party.
"It may have been the last time I see her, so just to see her then made me really happy," classmate Lyric Baldridge said.

OK, it's clear there's a growing sentiment from Detroit fans that Amir Johnson needs to see more playing time. While it's hard to agree with the extreme side of that argument (Amir should start over McDyess), it would probably be in Detroit's best interest to allow the young power forward mature more during actual games than just in practice.
Well, Flip Saunders was asked last night why Johnson isn't seeing more game action.
January 16, Detroit Free Press: "I think just a total understanding of what we're doing," coach Flip Saunders said. "Being more able to defend his position without getting into foul trouble. I think a lot of times, when he's played games -- his 12-minute stints -- he's picked up four or five fouls in that time."
Defending without fouling comes with more strength and experience, Saunders said.
Now, while it's safe to agree that Amir needs serious polishing, Saunders' statement is fairly inaccurate, at least if you limit your sample to this regular season. If you were to check out Johnson's game log, you would see he's only picked up four or more fouls twice.
So, in nine games where Johnson has seen approximately ten minutes or more of playing time, he's only eclipsed four fouls twice. Now this isn't to say he doesn't have problems staying out of foul trouble. Johnson is averaging just under three fouls in those nine games, or a foul every three and a half minutes, but we've certainly seeing a bit of exaggeration on Saunders' part.

OSLO (AP) -- Olympic champion Allyson Felix goes head to head with Ivory Coast's Murielle Ahoure in the 200 meters at the Bislett Games on Wednesday, while local hopes are pinned on Henrik Ingebrigtsen in the Dream Mile event.
Felix, a three-time world champion, hopes to reestablish herself as the dominant force over 200 meters after an injury-plagued 2013. She has a total of 12 gold medals at the Olympics and worlds.
The American will face a stiff challenge from Ahoure, who has made an encouraging start to the year and will have the support of the crowd. She came second in the 100 and 200 at the worlds last year, and spends a good deal of time training in Norway.
Ingebrigtsen, the European 1,500 champion, can also count on home support in the fifth Diamond League meet of the season as he takes on last year's winner, Ayanleh Souleiman of Djibouti, in the Dream Mile.
Souleiman has already recorded personal bests over a mile and 1,500 meters this season.
American Matt Centrowitz, who claimed bronze and then silver in the 1,500 in successive worlds, makes his Dream Mile debut. He set a personal best over the mile at Eugene on May 31.
Galen Rupp, who set an American record in the 10,000 at Eugene, will turn his attention to the 5,000, where he faces formidable competition from Ethiopians Yenew Alamirew, Dejen Gebremeskel, Hagos Gebrhiwet and Imane Merga, as well as Kenyans Edwin Soi, Thomas Longosiwa, Gideon Gathimba and world leader Caleb Mwangangi Ndiku.
In the absence of Usain Bolt, who is working his way back from a foot injury, Trinidad and Tobago's Richard Thompson is favored for the 100. The 2008 Olympic silver medalist ran 9.95 in Hengelo last weekend.
Frenchman Jimmy Vicaut also ran 9.95 this year and the lineup includes local favorite Jaysuma Saidy Ndure, former world champion Kim Collins, and British runners Richard Kilty and Adam Gemili.
Locals are hoping Andreas Thorkildsen can return to his best for the javelin, where the former world and Olympic champion faces Egyptian world leader Ihab Abdelrahman El Sayed, Kaliese Spencer is looking for three in a row in the 400 hurdles after winning in Rome and Eugene, and the women's high jump promises to be another closely contested affair between Croatia's Blanka Vlasic, Russia's Olympic champion Anna Chicherova, and Poland's Justyna Kasprzycka.

Sixteen people arrested in March for protesting the Philadelphia School Reform Commission's decision to close 23 schools were acquitted of disorderly conduct charges Thursday by a Municipal Court judge.
"I really do believe you went a little too far, locking arms and standing in front of a door like that," said Judge T. Francis Shields.
Still, Shields said, there was no evidence that any of the 16 blocked had doors to the auditorium at School District headquarters at 440 N. Broad St., as others had done.

HOW ABOUT HOWARD THE CROCODILE? No one can blame Universal for trying to cut its losses on Howard the Duck, the unfortunate fowl that laid a $35 million egg for George Lucas. Already featured on some highly discriminating all-time-worst lists, filmland's most ignominious duck is making an undercover comeback Down Under as Howard, a New Breed of Hero. Maybe the studio is hoping the Australians have been too busy worrying about the America's Cup to keep an eye peeled for north-of-the-equator reviews. And just in case your average Aussie might prefer a movie about, say, a wallaby, the new poster for the film shows only a tiny Howard, off in a corner, looking like something you might slip onto the barbie.
WHEN SONNY GETS BLUE: Lorenzo Lamas is a marked man, and none too attractively at that, in the view of Falcon Crest co-star Jane Wyman. "My relationship with Jane off-camera has similarities with the relationship on-camera," says Lamas. "She gets on my case once in a while. The third year on the show I had a lot of problems. My dad had died, my marriage broke up. I spent four months on my Harley. Every time something went wrong, I rushed to a tattoo parlor." Lamas is proud of his tattoos, but remembers that Wyman recoiled when she first saw the tiger he had inscribed on his forearm. "Jane said, 'Why are you doing that?' " recalls Lorenzo. " 'You're an actor, not a biker.' " Lamas sees it differently. "Being a biker," he says, adding a memorable footnote to the thespian credo, "makes me a good actor."
THERE SHE GOES, MISS AMERICA: Candid Kellye Cash—Miss America 1987—says the hardest thing about her triumph has been convincing the public that "real people win Miss America." Explains the once and future Memphis State undergrad: "People just don't think I'm a real person. I walked into a restroom with my crown on and a lady looked at me and said, 'What are you doing?' I thought, 'Oh, that's right—me and the President, we don't go.' "
BEWARE OF THE ATOMIZER: When CBS wanted Edward Woodward of The Equalizer to enhance his unlikely sex-symbol status by losing a few pounds, they took infinite care not to offend. In the series, after all, Woodward's character, an irascible dispenser of justice, isn't wild about being told what to do. So the network took the roundabout approach. As the 56-year-old actor explained to the Washington Post, the elapsed time between "the Universal producer calling my agent in Los Angeles, my agent in Los Angeles calling my agent in England, my agent in England calling [my wife] Michele, and Michele telling me, was about six weeks. When she told me the whole chain of events, I got a bit angry. I said, 'What am I supposed to be, some kind of ogre?' " That isn't the only gripe Woodward's got with his job. There's the title. Sometimes people call him "the equivocator" or "the exterminator" or even—his favorite—"the emphasizer." "I hate the title," Woodward says grimly, "loathe it." Now if he'll just tell Michele, CBS should know it by April.

During a hazard assessment, the physical characteristics of a hazard are evaluated to determine the potential impact on the overall level of risk of a facility. The hazard's inherent potential for causing property loss is analyzed as are any protective measures which may be in place to minimize this potential.
A fire risk assessment is a comprehensive study of the hazards which have the potential for causing property loss at a facility and the protective measures, both private and public, which have the potential for reducing the loss. This assessment usually includes an attempt to quantify the level of risk at a facility. One example is the prediction of probable maximum loss (PML).

Major facelift begins at mallUPDATED 10:34 AM CDT Aug 05, 2013
Construction crews are preparing to demolish Merle Hay Mall's south parking deck to get ready for Flix Brewhouse.Video Transcript
A major facelift - for a metro mall! Construction crews preparing to demolish Merle Hay Mall's south parking deck - to get ready for Flix Brewhouse! KCCI's Kim St. Onge is live at the mall, where renovations start this morning! Eric and Laura, the 12 million dollar, 8 screen, 3-D movie theatre is unlike anything Iowa has ever seen. You see the drawing here. It's a multi- screen movie theater, restaurant and microbrewery... Set to open later next year. The brewhouse theatre will brew nearly a dozen craft beers on site along with dinner, served at your seat while you watch the movie. A full menu will be available and you'll be able to eat at a table instead of a movie theatre seat. The new Flix Theater means the end of the long running Merle Hay Cinema, which has been open since 1992. The theater near the Sears store will close as soon as Flix opens. I caught up with Merle Hay Mall's general manager Joe Murdock to find out what kind of impact this Flix Brewhouse could have! "I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL COME HERE BECAUSE IT IS UNIQUE AND YOU CAN GET THE CRAFT BEERS AND THEN YOU CAN COME IN AND GET THE MOVIE OR ONE OF THE OTHER OR BOTH OR THE FULL MENU. HAVE DINNER AND NOT HAVE TO GO SEPARATE PLACES." The only other Flix Brewhouse is in Texas so this really is not only unique for Iowa but for the whole country! Mall officials hope to have the brewery and theatre open next summer. Eric and Laura?

North Korea has secretly built a new uranium enrichment facility, American nuclear scientist Siegfried Hecker told The New York Times on Saturday.
During a visit to the secretive communist nation in November, Siegfried and his Stanford University colleagues were reportedly shown an "ultra-modern control room, operating hundreds and hundreds of centrifuges."
Stephen Bosworth, the U.S. special envoy for North Korea, said Monday that while the revelation was disappointing, it was no surprise.
"This is obviously a disappointing announcement. It is also another in a series of provocative moves" by North Korea, Bosworth said. "That being said, this is not a crisis. We are not surprisedby this. We have been watching and analyzing the (North's) aspirations to produce enriched uranium for some time."
News of the atomic complex follows a report last week that Pyongyang is constructing another light-water reactor. "I'm on a very quick trip through the region consulting with our partners on next steps in the process of negotiating with the North Koreans," Bosworth said.
North Korea has made these nuclear advances despite being hit with several rounds of sanctions since it first tested a nuclear device in 2006.

Although the finished form of my dickey greatly resembles that of Elizabeth's Tricky Dickey, the knitting format is totally different.
I also made cuffs to match. Wearing both dickey and cuffs makes it appear as though you're really wearing a sweater under that top you have on. I gave the cuffs the same roll-top to match my dickey.
If you knit this pattern, let me know how you like it.
With 16" circular needles, Cast on 80 sts. Join, making sure not to twist. Place marker.
RNDS 1-6: Knit.
RND 7: Purl.
RNDS 8-14: work K2,P2 ribbing.
RND 15: Purl.
RND 16: Knit 40 sts. Put rem 40 sts on holder (back) TURN; Purl back the 40 sts just knit. Work FRONT in St st for 6 more rows.
(RSF) K2tog, knit across, turn. (WSF) P2tog, purl across. Work these two decrease rows in St st til 16 sts remain.
NEXT ROW: (RSF) K2tog, knit across to last 2 sts, K2tog (14 sts) DO NOT TURN. With circular ndsl, pick up and knit 30 sts along left side of front; knit the first 2 sts from the back 40 sts, INCREASE one st, *knit nxt 2 sts, Inc 1 st. Repeat from * across all back sts (60 sts); pick up and knit 30 sts along right side of front; knit the 14 sts from the straight ndls; (134 sts total); place marker; join at left side and work one rnd in Purl. Then work 6 rnds of K2,P2 ribbing. Cast off LOOSELY in pattern.
On 11" circular ndls or dpns, Cast on 36 sts. Knit 6 rnds. Purl 1 rnd. Work K2,P2 ribbing for 6" or desired length. Cast off LOOSELY in pattern.
NOTE: For a quicker Quickie Dickey, omit the K2,P2 ribbing around the neck and just knit all the rounds from RND 1 through RND 14. Then continue pattern same as above. The neck doesn't stand as high, but looks nice and knits up faster. Try them both.

If that's so, then her most moving part surely is The Dana Hill Story. The fact is, Dana's small stature stems from childhood diabetes, which has delayed her maturation. The condition was discovered at 10. At the time, Dana, always highly competitive, was the only girl on her youth-league basketball team in suburban L.A. She was into scholastic swimming and track as well. In a Southern California meet she placed third nationwide in the 880-yard run and fourth in the mile. Her father, Ted Goetz, 53, a producer of TV commercials (Chrysler, Kellogg's), recalls one meet in which Dana, at 10, raced against one of the nation's top-ranked girls. "Dana had this look on her face," her dad remembers. "Nothing could beat her, and she won."
A few weeks later, however, Dana collapsed on the track. Tests revealed her diabetes. Unchecked, it ultimately could have damaged her blood vessels, eyes, kidneys and nervous system. "I was really mad at first," Dana remembers. "I didn't want to accept the restrictions." Until she adapted to the sugar-free diet and daily insulin shots, she fell ill and was hospitalized several times. "About the same time, her growth slowed," says her father. "It seemed all her teammates were getting taller and stronger, and she wasn't. The prognosis is she won't grow anymore. It stopped her athletic career."
But not her drive. At Cal Prep High School in Encino she became as intense about acting as she had been about sports. "One day my dad mentioned that Mary Tyler Moore also suffered from diabetes," Dana recalls. "She could do everything I wanted to do—comedy, drama, dancing, singing. I've never met her, but she's been my idol ever since." Her parents tried to discourage her from acting. "They wouldn't hear of it," Dana says. "My father said it was too hard on kids."
Ironically, her dad later provided her first break. In 1973, unable to find a kid who could twirl a basketball on one finger for a YMCA TV commercial, he asked Dana whether she could. "Of course," she lied, then secretly practiced for hours and did the job perfectly next day with Boston Celtics star Dave Cowens. She later filmed six commercials and graduated in 1979 to a spot on TV's The Paul Williams Show. Dana's mother, Sandy, 48, helped her through TV commercials and guest spots but "cut the cord" for Shoot the Moon. "She brought that from within herself," Mom says.
No doubt it was in the genes. Dana was born into a Los Angeles showbiz family. Her paternal grandfather was a sea captain whose five sons all went into some aspect of films. Her great-uncle, William Goetz, married the daughter of Louis B. Mayer and became a vice-president of 20th Century-Fox and later an independent producer. "We didn't want Dana to be accused of nepotism," explains her dad, "so she uses her mother's maiden name, Hill."
With Dana's acting success, there now is less cause for sibling rivalry with brothers Matthew, 15, and Daniel, 13. "When she was into sports," explains Matthew, "she was always so good that we were looked at as 'Dana's younger brothers.' " A straight-A student at Cal Prep, Matthew is more interested in medicine than showbiz. Young Daniel, though, is about to follow Dana into TV commercials.
The family (plus five cats and an Irish wolfhound named Liza) live in a spacious San Fernando Valley home just minutes from the studio where Dana shoots The Two of Us. She drives to work in a 1979 VW convertible purchased with her earnings. Highway police stop her occasionally because she looks too young to drive. "They're embarrassed afterward," she shrugs.
Dana's fresh appearance is also a pain at R-rated movies and parties where people say, "This kid isn't old enough to be here." Men? "I haven't had that many crushes yet," Dana says, "except Tom Selleck." The boys she does date are "mostly 16 or 17," she adds shyly. "Dana is just beginning to mature," says her mother. "It's going to take a very special man to marry her. She knows exactly where she's going and she has a mind of her own." That means she has no intention of competing with teen nymphets on-or offscreen, except maybe when Oscar time rolls around next year. "I'm not in any hurry to play seductive ladies," says Dana. "I have plenty of time for that."

Context Effective multifactorial interventions reduce the frequent falling rate of older patients by 30% to 40%. However, clinical consensus suggests reserving these interventions for high-risk patients. Limiting fall prevention programs to high-risk patients implies that clinicians must recognize features that predict future falls.
Objective To identify the prognostic value of risk factors for future falls among older patients.
Data Sources and Study Selection Search of MEDLINE (1966-September 2004), CINAHL (1982-September 2004), and authors' own files to identify prospective cohort studies of risk factors for falls that performed a multivariate analysis of such factors.
Data Extraction Two reviewers independently determined inclusion of articles and assessed study quality. Disagreements were resolved by consensus. Included studies were those identifying the prognostic value of risk factors for future falls among community-dwelling persons 65 years and older. Clinically identifiable risk factors were identified across 6 domains: orthostatic hypotension, visual impairment, impairment of gait or balance, medication use, limitations in basic or instrumental activities of daily living, and cognitive impairment.
Data Synthesis Eighteen studies met inclusion criteria and provided a multivariate analysis including at least 1 of the risk factor domains. The estimated pretest probability of falling at least once in any given year for individuals 65 years and older was 27% (95% confidence interval, 19%-36%). Patients who have fallen in the past year are more likely to fall again [likelihood ratio range, 2.3-2.8]. The most consistent predictors of future falls are clinically detected abnormalities of gait or balance (likelihood ratio range, 1.7-2.4). Visual impairment, medication variables, decreased activities of daily living, and impaired cognition did not consistently predict falls across studies. Orthostatic hypotension did not predict falls after controlling for other factors.
Conclusions Screening for risk of falling during the clinical examination begins with determining if the patient has fallen in the past year. For patients who have not previously fallen, screening consists of an assessment of gait and balance. Patients who have fallen or who have a gait or balance problem are at higher risk of future falls.

BMB Group Ties Up With Alliance Capital
LONDON—BMB Group, an investment firm founded by Asian entrepreneur Rayo Withanage and Brunei's Prince Abdul Ali 'Yil-Kabier, has acquired a stake in Alliance Capital Group, a Netherlands real-estate firm that manages €3 billion ($3.67 billion) of assets throughout Europe.
Executives involved in the deal declined to say how much of a stake BMB is acquiring, but the company said the merged firm, renamed BMB Alliance, was formed by the investment of $500 million into Alliance Capital Group.
BMB Alliance also plans to announce soon a new fund that hopes to acquire €3 billion in assets over the next 24 months.
The Alliance Capital portfolio includes more than €1 billion in Dutch offices and logistics properties such as warehouses, €1.2 billion in German residential portfolios and €800 million in shopping malls in Europe.
"We see the recent real-estate-market movements in Europe as an opportunity for Eastern investors to capture global market positions," BMB Group Chairman Mr. Withanage said in a statement.
BMB Alliance will follow other international investors looking to benefit from distress in European property markets. Qatar, through its investment vehicles including Qatar Investment Authority and Qatar Holding, has been buying up prime London properties and stakes in companies.
But finding the right properties and portfolios mightn't be easy for BMB Alliance because investor demand outstrips supply in European real-estate markets. Most owners aren't willing to sell at today's prices.
Property advisers CB Richard Ellis predict the volume of European commercial real-estate-investment activity will rise to €100 billion this year, compared with €73 billion last year as investor demand helps drive transaction volumes and size.
But that still is below the €255 billion in 2007 or €121 billion in 2008.
Also, sales activity could be weakened if investors stay cautious due to the introduction of austerity measures by some European governments.
BMB Alliance will invest in retail, office, residential and other properties and also target European corporate and government sale lease-backs.
It also will look at U.S. and Asian markets, and work with investment structures that comply with sharia, or Islamic law.
BMB Group, founded in 2004, manages assets for wealthy investors from the Middle East and Asia, corporations, sovereign institutions, and companies managing investments and trusts for wealthy families.
The new company will continue BMB Group's strategy of taking over other asset managers.
"We are intending to seek and absorb similar real-estate investment vehicles over the next 12 months," said Gary Peters, head of global real estate at BMB Group, in a statement. "We are particularly interested in developing this business in Latin America, North America, the Middle East, China and Southeast Asia."
The announcement follows BMB Group's acquisition this month of Contrarian Capital Partners and its subsidiary, Beacon Hospitality Partners, which are real-estate advisers to Middle Eastern and Asian sovereign investors.

yesterday: 3-2 +1.02u
mlb 26-15 +11.43u
Hey all!
Been away for awhile. Getting back into this a little bit. Im 1 and 8 in my last 9 picks (not posted). Finally got a win with OKC last night. I haven't been doing much research or following anything closely but I like today's card. Please feel free to let me know if think any of these are bonehead plays.
Reds +155 - Cueto at that price? I'll take it. I look for him to back bounce back after his last performance. I don't care if he's playing the Yanks and Sabathia.
Marlins +104 - Sabermetic data suggest Johnson will get better and Lowe is due for regression. I'll take the plus money here too.
Phillies -136 - Beckett and the RedSox are struggling with baseball and personal issues. I'll take Lee and Phils playing at home at this short price. I don't even care to look at stats on this game.
Pacers +2 - Miami is toast
Week: 20-14 +4.40u YTD:114-72 61.3% +35.00u
This is the easiest play of the year. No capping, No breakdowns, No leaning, just plain and simple.
All-star game = UNDER the total (I'm guessing 7.5, haven't looked yet)
This is by far the toughest hitting enviornment for a batter. Facing a different All-star pitcher every 2 innings, meaning they will probably be only facing each amazing pitcher once, if at all. I don't care how good the hitters are in this game. Great pitching almost always beats Great hitting and we will follow that rule here. I'm playing 2 units on the UNDER.
I will also be posting my Home Run Derby picks in here later. That will take a bit more capping.

Can't argue with Bodio's leans. I am a true believer in his handicapping style. My only concern is the wind blowing out at Coors field. Cook is a groundball pitcher while Peavy allows more flyballs which could spell trouble for him today.

Pitt/Chi Over
Wells is coming back off the DL and I feel they are rushing him back due to the Cubs dire need for starting pitching. Wells thinks he'll be able to throw around 90 pitches on Saturday and wasn't concerned that two minor-league rehab appearances might not be enough to get him ready. He wrote off his last start at Triple-A Iowa – seven runs in four innings – as trying to locate his fastball and get a feel for his sinker.
Malholm is nothing special and hasn't had much success against Chicago's hitters in the past. Soriano and Ramirez have blasted 6 home runs off him in 63 AB. The Cubs hit lefties well and have responded well this year with big production after getting shut down the game before. There is also a stiff breeze predicted to be howling off the Great Lakes directed towards the ivey laced brick wall today @ Wrigley

This will probably be an unpopular play today I imagine b/c you will hear alot of "Jackson sucks on the road" rhetoric from the peanut gallery. That is exactly why I like this play.

We've had a nice stay at the studio from Salvatore. Everything was really close by foot. When we had rain, the studio was spacious enough to comfortably rest an afternoon indoors. If we'd stay another weekend in Nice, we probably would come to the same apartment.
Very smal, but well equiped and clean appartement in the best part of Nice. Excellent service from host Salvatore! Daphne, Amsterdam
A Very nice stay, nice city.The bed was completely demolished, the slats was broken, so were Sleeps null.Salvatore was eager to find a new stick, he also has made but we did not fit as we return to 2 nights should return to the old studio. Nevertheless, we continue to recommend it.
Ein Sehr schönes Aufenthalt,schöne Stadt.Das Bett war komplett demoliert, das Lattenrost war kaputt,also die Schlafmöglichkeiten waren null.Salvatore war sehr bemüht uns eine neue bleibe zu finden ,hat er auch gemacht,hat uns aber nicht gepasst da wir wieder nach 2 Nächten zurück in das alte Studio kehren sollten.
Trotzdem empfehlen wir es weiter.
The apartment was small but clean. The nights were noisy. The road noise was all night. But I would go with the kids back to this apartment. Marietta
Die Wohnung war klein aber sauber. Die Nächte waren laut. Der Strassenlärm war die ganze Nacht.
Doch ich würde mit den Kindern wieder in diese Wohnung.
Salvatore was extremely friendly. Just booking one day in advance he was able to make a perfect hand over the next day. really flexible.
The flat and its location is perfect. I can not imagine a better location.
thank you
Small, very nice and clean.. Very helpsome host - reliable and very well located little flat close to the sea.. All in all - just as I expected it to be..
Nice Studio with all necessary equipements , in the middle of the city. A lot of restaurants are situated all arround and the beach is only 10 min away.
Salvatore is very sympatic and helpful.
We are not happy with this accommadition because of below reasons:
1- We planned to meet with him at 5 p.m. But because of traffic, we couldn´t be on time. Then he called us 3 times and send 2 sms. We´ve already informed him that we are on the way. And we tried to find the right way, but our navigation couldn´t find the address. Then we called him and requested that he can pick up us from where we are. We were just 300 meters far away. But he said that he doesn´t know where we are and didn´t come. We couldn´t find any place for parking. Anyhow, we found the right address. He just gave us the key and went. He didn´t advise us any information about the city. During 3 days, he didn´t call us.
2- The bed which was at the downstairs was broken. We couldn´t sleep well during 3 nights. He didn´t show us how we can open it. We had difficulty to open and close it. Also we couldn´t sleep because of the noise outside.
3- He gave us the wrong internet access port. So, we couldn´t use internet.
As a summary, it was not a good accommadition
Nice is a beautiful city. Well worth a stay in any case. Especially the really worth seeing and experiencing old town gives the city its own special charm. Salvatore is a nice and pleasant host. The whole experience was totally uncomplicated and easy. His apartment is very centrally located, the city center with shopping facilities, tram and train station are within a few minutes. Nevertheless, it is very quiet, so you can sleep well at night. The apartment is nicely decorated and the space is utilized optimally. We were together and it was perfectly adequate, especially because one is always a little in the house. Conclusion: a very good value for money ratio.
Nizza ist eine wunderschöne Stadt. Ein Aufenthalt lohnt sich auf alle Fälle. Gerade die wirklich sehenswerte und erlebenswerte Altstadt verleiht der Stadt ihren ganz besonderen Charme.
Salvatore ist ein netter und angenehmer Gastgeber. Der ganze Aufenthalt war total unkompliziert und locker. Sein Appartement liegt sehr zentral, die Innenstadt mit Shoppingmöglichkeiten sowie Tram und Bahnhof sind in wenigen Minuten zu erreichen. Trotzdem ist es sehr ruhig, so dass man nachts gut schlafen kann. Das Appartement ist nett eingerichtet und der Platz wird optimal ausgenutzt. Wir waren zu zweit und es war vollkommen ausreichend, vor allem weil man ja eh wenig in der Wohnung ist. Fazit: ein sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis-Verhältnis.

HOUSTON (AP) - Democratic gubernatorial nominee Tony Sanchez on Saturday accused Republican Gov. Rick Perry of being too cozy with the state's insurance industry through high-dollar campaign contributions while Texans face rising premiums and reduced coverage.
"Some folks don't like me to be so blunt about Rick Perry," Sanchez told the Texas Coalition of Black Democrats during a campaign stop Saturday in Houston.
He said Perry, the former lieutenant governor who took office when President Bush resigned a few days before becoming president, has accepted $1 million in campaign contributions from insurance interests while Sanchez hasn't "accepted a dime from any insurance company."
Sanchez also touted his "Bill of Rights" for Texas insurance companies, a plan unveiled last Wednesday that he said would reduce rates.
But Sanchez' International Bank of Commerce, which sells unregulated property insurance policies through a subsidiary, makes him part of the insurance industry, Perry spokesman Ray Sullivan said. "Sanchez' false attack ignores the fact that he owns an insurance agency, profits from higher insurance rates and admits that his plan will cause rates to go even higher," Sullivan said.
Insurance reform has become a top issue in the gubernatorial race.
Both Perry and Sanchez have called for regulating some property insurance markets and other reforms to make sure companies justify rates charged to consumers. Perry has said the state should be able to freeze rates, and both have said they oppose "credit scoring," when companies set rates based on a consumer's credit history.
If elected governor, Sanchez said Saturday he would prevent companies from postponing claim payments and ensure they treat consumers with respect while providing easy-to-read policies. He said he would lead such reform and Texans need a governor "who isn't owned lock, stock and barrel" by the insurance industry.
Sullivan countered that Perry "has already cracked down through lawsuits and proposed re-regulation on illegal and irresponsible homeowners' insurance practices."
In mid-July Sanchez, a political newcomer whose fortune is estimated around $600 million, reported he has spent $31 million in the first six months of this year.

) describes a hack (in every sense), the most subversive ever perpetrated, nothing less than the root password of all evil.
Ken describes how he injected a virus into a compiler. Not only did his compiler know it was compiling the login function and inject a backdoor, but it also knew when it was compiling itself and injected the backdoor generator into the compiler it was creating. The source code for the compiler thereafter contains no evidence of either virus.
Ken wrote,
In demonstrating the possibility of this kind of attack, I picked on the C compiler. I could have picked on any program-handling program such as an assembler, a loader, or even hardware microcode. As the level of program gets lower, these bugs will be harder and harder to detect. A well installed microcode bug will be almost impossible to detect.
Ken does not mean bug in the sense of error, but in the sense of listening device. And it is "almost" impossible to detect because
easily propagates into the binaries of all the inspectors, debuggers, disassemblers, and dumpers a programmer would use to try to detect it. And defeats them. Unless you're coding in binary, or you're using tools compiled before the KTH was installed, you simply have no access to an uncompromised tool.
In fact, given the amenability of microcode to the KTH, not even then.
All manner of controls and monitors could be secreted this way in the OSes of all the devices we all use day to day. It isn't very far fetched to suggest that the hack, in software, can create an updatable backdoor. This way every piece of software on the planet can be KTH bugged without any possibility of detection by any mortal engineer anywhere.
Well, maybe with the diligent use of an electron microscope.
Given last week's horrifying revelations concerning the US government's TotalInformationAwareness
of every US domestic phone call, it is difficult to imagine that the ThreeLetterAgency
's KTH-hacked binaries are not omnipresent. I mean, can you really imagine AdmiralPoindexter
would pass up an ability like this?
Doesn't Ken's virus depend on the fact that the compiler (a pre-existing binary version thereof) was used to bootstrap itself? Had a different compiler been used to compile the compiler, the virus would have been killed.
No. Ken notes "I could have picked on any program-handling program such as an assembler, a loader, or even hardware microcode." Put it in the linker, say, and all your compilers are affected.
You could use a debugger to inspect the compiler's operation.
Perhaps a debugger toggled in via the patch panel on the front of a PDP-10 ... otherwise s/login/debugger/ in what Ken said and paste in another trojan or two.
How about modification of the compiler sources for another reason? Might have fooled the "am I compiling myself" algorithm, or might have caused the Trojan to have been inserted incorrectly.
There are no C compilers out there that don't use yacc and lex. But again, the really frightening thing is via linkers and below this hack can propagate transparently across languages and language generations. In the case of cross compilers it can leap across whole architectures. It may be that the paranoiac rapacity of the hack is the reason KT didn't put any finer point on such implications in his speech ...
These examples are not given to rebut Thompson's point (which is a valid one), but instead to remind of good practices to prevent this sort of thing.
What practices? I can't think of any way to do it without the resources of a major TLA. KTH demonstrates that we are not able to fully trust any binary even when we have compiled it ourselves from trustworthy sources on a system we have compiled ourselves. The OpenSourceMovement
might have an off switch ... but your cell phone probably does not.
It's been more than twenty years since I read Thompson's marvelous paper, but I believe I correctly recall his fundamental point: UNIX, and every system like it, can NEVER be "secure". It doesn't matter how many layers of anti-virus software, "internet worm protection", "firewall" or any other buzzword -- systems like UNIX (including all versions of Linux, Macintosh OSX, and all versions of WinXP) will NEVER be secure. Thompson published his paper and revealed his hack in order to demonstrate this point.
Whereas what systems are secure? Ones that are not compiled from source code, presumably. And certainly not, say, Windows which you left of your list by sheer coincidence.
In August 2009 a virus utilizing the Ken Thompson hack was seen in the wild. It infected Delphi 4 through 7 and applications genereated with it.
Although non-trivial, an effective counter has been identified:
That's only (and trivially) effective if you already have a trusted compiler executable. The problem is generating one of those in the first place. Living in the era of PRISM, we can guarantee you can't get one online - KTH in the network will see to that. You sure didn't get one shipped with your OS - all the commercial OS mfrs are compromised and the open source ones all went through PRISM's internet.
The only way you're going to get a clean compiler executable now is to build your computer yourself out of TTL logic you salvage from some museum somewhere, then code up a set of basic binary tools sufficient to assemble assembler. Then bootstrap from the source of all the modern tools.
This actually sounds like a worthy project until you realize that the only person who could possibly trust your clean compiler executable is you. No one else will know for sure that you're not secretly working for PRISM. Or that you're not just too careless, or that black hats didn't hack their way into your garage and add the KTH while you weren't looking. And even if you got far enough to prove something, the great conspiracy would dose you with mind-altering chemicals or blackmail you into silence or discredit you or similar. Face it, little dude, against
there simply is no defense.
Little dude? Why the put down? Who are you putting down, all of us? Please see
{I don't think it was intended to be a put-down so much as a colloquial generic diminutive used as a rhetorical invective to imply weak superiority. It suggests the writer was not confident in his/her claim that "against
there simply is no defense", and subconsciously sought to blunt the full force of the assertion by diminishing the reader.}
[Dude. Print out the hexdump of the disassembler, disassemble it manually, see that it works, then use it as the first step in analyzing the compiler. Oh, and
is trivially visible in the .s file if you're looking for it.]
{You're assuming the disassembler, hexdump tool, editor you use to read the .s file aren't all compromised.}
Yep. The weakness in
isn't there. It's in the fact that it will have to make mistakes in identifying the disassemblers, hexdump tools, editors, compilers, etc. Somewhere, there's a program whose output it will change but it shouldn't have, or a program whose output it should have changed but didn't.
'''I've never been able to understand why simply doing some programmatic transformation of your compiler first isn't considered a good defense. Basically just obfuscating the code. For such a backdoor to work the injection point needs to be recognized by the injector. So if one ... Started with a corrupted compiler and then obfuscated it's source. Then compiled the obfuscated but "clean" source with the corrupted compiler. One should end up with a clean and uncorrupted compiler. Then compile the unobfuscated source with the "washed" compiler (if the obfuscation significantly degraded the performance of the compiler). If in my paranoia I needed to bootstrap an entire toolchain this way. I'd start with an FPGA. Use it to emulate an FPGA (at horrendous loss of efficiency). Then use the emulated FPGA to run a custom simple soft-CPU. Preferably hand written. Ad then bootstrap a build toolchain using some expensive obfuscations for the first pass after which the tools are considered clean. One would probably always need to be careful of the CPU the toolchain runs on though, but similar obfuscation arguments should apply...''
How do you know that the compromised compiler won't recognize the obfuscation you used? If it does, your "clean" compiler is no longer clean. (The FPGA and CPU solution has the same problem.)
Wouldn't it be extremely hard (in any sense I can think of) to actually be able to recognize every program that does a particular operation? Say you wrote a program that runs a JVM implementation of a MIPS emulator that can make host system calls that runs a program that implements login by reading whatever files contain the passwords in backwards and converting them to EBCDIC before doing processing on them. I find it hard to believe that the KTH-implementing compiler would actually recognize anything that program is doing.
Yes, it will have to make mistakes somewhere. This is because any implementation that was always correct could be used to solve the
. But this doesn't make any particular trick undetectable. What they detect is mostly a matter of whether or not they thought of it and whether or not they considered checking for it worth the effort.

Cape Town is now under a threat from Julius Malema and the other idiots. They want to flood the Western Cape with black people to show the Western Cape how upset they are for not voting for the ANC.
ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema has vowed to reclaim the Western Cape – ruled by his nemesis and DA leader Helen Zille – by flooding the province with "black" youth from the ANC-governed Eastern Cape. The Mercury
So he wants to be so spiteful just because the ANC did not win in the Western Cape, in fact the entire ANC is upset because they lost the votes of the Western Cape.
How long will this go on? How long will they illegally threaten to make the Western Cape ungovernable?
Is'nt that like threatening a overthrow of government which is a international crime?
I dont know, but something has to be done to stop the ANC from entirely messing up the Western Cape, they will kill their own people to stay in power, how much more wont they kill others to stay in control of their dictator style democracy

Postpartum Blues
In India, a woman is in confinement for 40 days after birth of the baby, when she is forced to rest & to recuperate from the childbirth. She is given oil massages and hot baths everyday. Her food intake is carefully monitored. There's wisdom in many of the traditional practices. During the first 6 weeks after delivery, the pregnancy pounds are relatively easier to come off. It gets more difficult to lose weight after that period. With the traditional diet that I was put under for the 40 days, which had 1-2 spoons full of ghee at every meal(!), I lost 21 of the 27 pounds that I had gained during the pregnancy! The diet had adequate nutrition for me as well as the nursing baby. It also helped with lactation. It seems astounding to me that people centuries ago, with no education to speak of, could devise such a diet (vegetarian at that)!
If you know of any person going through the blues, please, please visit and/or call them often. Have them get a full night's sleep at least once. It helps a lot! KP, the biosalt, is available at homeopathy stores and online. Encourage them to go out and do something they love. It may take weeks but it will pass eventually. Just be there for them. They need you.

Am glad you had people around you that helped you through it....and you are right about the traditional diet...it does help with nursing and I too was surprised I lost my pregnancy weight inspite of eating all the ghee that my mother would literally pour on top of my food.

The holidays were approaching and people working at 'Canadian Forces Station (CFS) Alert', who are far from their families, got to enjoy some amazing entertainment from special guests this month.
Nothing less than 'Shanneyganock' and 'The Fables' from Newfoundland, who were performing traditional Newfoundland and Celtic music with their own flare, were the two bands on tour.
These musical groups from Newfoundland said they were honoured to entertain Canadian Forces members and were thrilled to perform in Canada's northernmost land.
It's also the world's most northerly inhabited place just 817 kilometres away from the geographic North Pole.
The Station, which is a unit of 8 Wing/CFB Trenton, was in a festive mood and everybody took part in supporting the visit.
One of their biggest fans Corporal Michelle Tobin, President of Mess Committee and MedTech, described the show tour in these words.
"As a long time fan of both bands, I have seen them on multiple occasions. This show takes the cake. It was amazing!
"They got the crowd involved clapping, stompin' their feet and singing along. They, as well as us, are looking forward to a future return."
Everyone, including the bands and comedian Johnny Gardhouse, had a great time. They provided an excellent show with great crowd participation.
Although they were supposed to leave the following day, their flight was delayed from mid week to the weekend, which gave the Station personnel an additional occasion to socialize with the musicians and comedian in a casual way.
During the traditional TGIF get-together, Chris Andrews and Glen Simmons wrote and sang 'At the Very Top of the World', a special song for CFS Alert.

Great event for tech-oriented genealogists!
RootsTech.org is a genealogy conference that combines two of my passions: Genealogy (Roots) and Technology (Tech). Stanczyk went to last year's conference and was impressed!
It is a Family Search International conference and is based in Salt Lake City at the Salt Palace Convention Center, not far from the Family History Library. It is a 3-day conference with a wide variety of topics covered. The dates for 2013 are: 21-March-2013 – 23-March-2013 (THU, FRI, SAT).
This jester thinks that last year was a better year, judging by the sessions that are planned for 2013 as compared to what sessions were done in 2012. However, the 2013 exhibitors seems to shaping up to be much better (they say 40% more).

Active Kids Do Better in School: 5 Important PointsJoslyn Gray
Kids who are active do better in school, reports TIME Magazine. Researchers in the Netherlands reviewed 14 studies, and the overwhelming conclusion was that the more physical activity a child has, the better he or she will do, in terms of both standardized tests and grade point average. The higher scores were particularly reflected in math, English, and reading.
The study review's author, Amika Singh, said that being active may increase blood flow to the brain, providing more oxygen to cells involved in learning and attention.
What does this mean for schools?
The Centers for Disease Control say that students should have one hour of physical exercise a day to maintain health, which only 18 percent of high school students are getting. The studies reviewed show that the one hour exercise doesn't have to be all in one chunk to get the academic boost, though. Shorter periods of exercise that break up the school day can be just as effective.
From a mom's perspective, here are the important take-home messages:
- Punishing poorly behaved or poorly performing students by making them "sit out" recess probably isn't a good idea.
- Since rampant childhood obesity isn't motivating schools to keep phys. ed. on the roster, maybe the improved standardized test scores will.
- Like most stereotypes, the "dumb jock" one is a bust.
- Everything your mother told you about fresh air and exercise was right.
- When I tell my kids to go out and play in the back yard, I'm not just hoping for a moment of sanity, I'm supporting their education. Yay me.

Review: NEW Maybelline Vivid Lipstick
Wait… is this another lipstick post?
While on a totally unecessary spending spree (that I've probably talked about way too much) I noticed these new Maybelline Vivid Lipsticks and absolutely had to pick one up for myself because you all know how much I 1) love lipstick and 2) love BRIGHT lipstick. Clearly this product has my name written all over it.
I luckily found the display fully stocked so I had my pick of every color Maybelline offers. After spending several minutes contemplating my decision I finally went with Vivid Rose which is a bright pink/red combination that just screams "buy me now!"
I'm going to sum this product up in one word: OUTRAGEOUS. These are totally outrageous in a great way!
I have worn this to work a few times this week and let me tell you – I put it through one heck of a challenge. I work in a busy, upscale salon in New York City and work an average of 10-12 hours each day. I am constantly running around like a crazy person and talking non-stop so needless to say, my lip products (and makeup in general) need to LAST because I just don't have time to be touching my makeup every hour or so.
I'm proud to say that I only touched up with this lipstick one time during a full shift! Isn't that amazing! The Maybelline Vivid lipsticks wear incredibly well and more importantly, they wear off well so you never look crazy when your lipstick isn't looking so fresh. You all know that look… spotty, smudged, and just overall "bleh." I'm not a fan. I touched up about 6 hours after my initial application and it was only because I had just eaten lunch and figured I might as well refresh my makeup while I had the chance. I definitely didn't need to touch it up at that time, though. How great is that?!
So anyway – I wore this a few times and got a ton of compliments from coworkers and clients alike! A few people called the color unique and said that they hadn't seen anything like it before. I do think that this color is unique if nothing for its vivid nature so I was definitely pleased to hear that feedback from people at work. It just confirms that these products are great!
So what do you think about the new Maybelline Vivid line? Are you a fan of bright lipstick or do you stick to muted tones? Comment below and let me know!
Until next time

that is really pigmented and so pretty!
You definitely should! They would look great with your skin tone!
I'm scared of bright colours but that swatch makes me go 'WANT'! As if it stayed perfect for 6 hours?! That's crazy!
I was totally surprised by the fantastic wear time but I'm not complaining! It's so nice to wear a bright lip without worrying that it's smearing all over the place. Definitely try it out!
Love the bright colour, I love bright lipsticks even though it doesn't 'suit' my age yet. Gorgeous colour you got!
I love this color, too! It's so fun!
I definitely saw this same display and somehow resisted But I may need to change that next time I'm at the store. I'm such a lipstick hoarder, but these sound great.
More power to you for resisting it! There was absolutely no hope for me in the slightest, haha.
I am so impressed! I think it is a unique color too, and with awesome staying power and pigmentation you can't beat it. I want this now! Haha – Boho Vanity
It is SO unique! I love it! To be honest, the rest of the collection was either bright red, orange, or purple (I don't remember there being many pinks) so they didn't appeal to me. This one, however, just had me written all over it and I'm so glad I snatched it up!
mmm the color is so bright and pretty…thanks for the share
Wow, this is such a gorgeous shade! I'm absolutely in love with this lipstick!
I'm inviting you to join my international giveaway if you like
love how bright the colour is

U.S. District Judge Michael McShane will issue his ruling in Oregon's high-profile gay marriage case at noon Monday, he announced Friday.
He will post a full written decision in the widely watched case, he said.
Four gay and lesbian couples seeking the right to marry filed suit asking the court to overturn Oregon's voter-enacted ban on same-sex marriage. Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum declined to defend the constitutional limit of marriage to one man and one woman and agrees the law should be overturned.
When the U.S. Supreme Court struck down parts of the Defense of Marriage Act in 2013, it unleashed a flood of litigation in federal courts around the country. In recent months, federal judges have struck down laws prohibiting same-sex marriage in six states, largely under the reasoning that it violates equal protections for gay and lesbian couples.

The Boyfriend Jean is for Toddlers?toddler-times
They're too young to actually have boyfriends, but your four-year-old daughters can now have a pair of boyfriend jeans!
Because you really want to think about a boy getting into your pre-schooler's pants, right?
Yes, that was a little gendered. Which is the whole problem with these pants. Pointed out by Miriam over at Feministing, we were equally bemused by the news that the "boyfriend" jean has been sized down for little kids. Cut our girls' jeans a little looser, and we're on board as much for her comfort's sake as for the chance to delay the skimpy look a little longer (forever, please?).
But whatever happened to calling them "loose fit" or something similarly related to cut rather than a description of the wearer? A more generous cut for girls and women alike has been a long time in coming, and for that we thank the Gap for thinking a little more comfort. How about we just leave it at the comfort level – and let her know she CAN be comfy?
A side note: equally disturbing are the boyfriend pillows marketed to little girls – like this one emblazoned with the Disney princesses. Does a four-year-old need to think about cuddling with her boyfriend?
