TORONTO -- The Tigers could've retaliated Thursday night, but they didn't.
They resisted the urge. And, although it might not have been the most popular decision in the Tigers' clubhouse, it was certainly the smartest.
There's no questioning the players' frustration. It was made abundantly clear Wednesday night that the Tigers did not approve of Colby Rasmus' hard slide that wiped out Omar Infante.
Torii Hunter called it dirty. Max Scherzer said it warranted a suspension. To sit back and not do anything about it? That's a tough pill to swallow.
Which is why it makes absolute sense they'd want to stick up for one of their teammates, particularly Infante, who has been a staple in the organization the past two seasons.
To retaliate Thursday might've seemed like the correct action for the Tigers to take, particularly since it was the last regular-season game to be played between the two.
But given the circumstances, the timing couldn't have been worse.
"It just wasn't the right time or the right place," Justin Verlander said. "And I'm not saying it will ever be the right time or right place. It was just one of those things."
Typically, a team will get an opportunity to exact their revenge. But sometimes there's a price to pay to get even. Just ask Rick Porcello.
Porcello was issued a six-game suspension and an undisclosed fine Tuesday by Major League Baseball for intentionally hitting Ben Zobrist with a pitch this past weekend.
He's appealing the punishment, but it's likely to stand. He retaliated and it will probably cost him a start.
"There was no use in trying to do anything (Thursday), you'll get suspended," Hunter said. "You saw Porcello."
Simply put, it was a risk the Tigers couldn't afford to take again. At least, not right now.
The Tigers are in the middle of an exhausting 20-game, 20-day stretch. There's still 10 games remaining before they reach the All-Star break, their first day off in three weeks.
My point? They can't afford to lose an arm, particularly if that arm is attached to Verlander, a former AL MVP and Cy Young Award winner.
Verlander had a chance to plunk Rasmus. Based on the comments Verlander made after his start, he strongly considered it. But he opted against it. And it was the right move.
"Obviously, it crossed my mind," he said. "I wanted to stick up for my teammate. I'm sure every single guy that came out of that bullpen wanted to. But it just wasn't the right time or the right place."
Had Verlander thrown at Rasmus, or any other Blue Jays batter Thursday night, there's a strong chance he would've been tossed from the game.
While risking an ejection might seem like a small price to pay to stand up for a well-respected teammate, take into account the shape of the Tigers' bullpen at the time.
Drew Smyly was unavailable, as was Joaquin Benoit. If Verlander had plunked Rasmus in, say, the second inning, Detroit's bullpen would've been responsible for eating seven innings. It would've left the bullpen in complete disarray for their series in Cleveland.
So the Tigers had to grind their teeth and bite the bullet. They couldn't exact their revenge. But don't think for one moment that Rasmus has slipped their mind.
Baseball players are a strange breed. They remember everything. Every at-bat. Every pitch. And every play. Rasmus' slide was dirty. The Tigers won't forget that.
"I don't think we're a team that you want to stir up the hornets nest too much," Verlander said. "We've got a lot of veteran guys and a lot of guys with pride. If you go in hard and do something like that, it's baseball, but you don't want to stir these guys up too much."
For Rasmus, it's likely too late. The nest has already been stirred. Now, it's just a matter of when they'll strike.

It's no secret that the state Department of Environmental Conservation, which manages the state's fish and wildlife scene along with monitoring and protecting New York's environmental health, is hurting these days.
Last month, DEC Commissioner Pete Grannis was fired for "insubordination and incompetence" following the release of a memo he drafted outlining the current state of the Department and the impact, in his opinion, of additional 200 cuts the governor's office had ordered.
"Many of our programs are hanging by a thread," Grannis said. "The public would be shocked to learn how thin we are in many areas."
The memo warned that fewer polluted sites would be cleaned, stocking of game fish could be halted and fewer regulators would be available to oversee the expected natural gas drilling boom in the Marcellus Shale that extends into southern New York.
This week, nearly 160 pink slips were handed out statewide in the DEC. Members of state advisory boards to the DEC who usually are in close contact with department are in the dark about the impact of the cuts.
Howie Cushing, president of the New York State Conservation Council, along with Chuck Parker, of Mexico, who also serves on the council, were among those who attended a recent marathon, nine-hour Assembly hearing that looked at the DEC's staffing levels.
The two men told me:
- During the past couple of months, the DEC's Region 7 office in Cortland has lost five senior employees to early retirement — a wildlife technician, three senior wildlife biologists and the natural resources supervisor. They're not being replaced and the loss of their institutional knowledge will undoubtedly have an impact on local programs, Parker said
- The state did not train any new environmental conservation officers this year and there's no plans for an academy to be held in 2011. Figure in early retirements and the natural turn-over of employees, and only it makes sense that there will be less staff out in the field statewide doing less enforcement of the state's fish and game and environmental laws.
"Right now we have 300 to 325 conservation officers across the state," Cushing said. "The way things are going right now, we're going to be down 70 to 80 officers in the coming year."
- Asked about the hatchery system, Cushing pointed out the state has 13 hatcheries, which the DEC has said takes 80 people to keep them going at their current level of service.
"Right now we're down to 67 staffers and through layoffs and retirements, we're probably going to lose another 5 to 6 workers."
- The state's Conservation fund, which is fed by hunting, fishing and trapping license fees, pays for the salaries and benefits of 340 of the 360 employees in the DEC's Department of Fish and Wildlife and Marine Services.
- Since 2007, that department has seen a 50 percent cut in non-personnel-related allocations, such as paper, computers, cell phones and most importantly, mileage allocations that allow the staff to travel out in the field to do research or to even attend meetings.
"How can the wild life biologists do their jobs if they can't get the gas mileage to go out and do their work?" Cushing asked.
Granted, every state department is facing cuts. But what Cushing, Parker and others say is that Gov. Patterson's cuts are being "unfairly" applied to the DEC. The point out the DEC is being asked to make the same percentage of staff cuts as other state departments that are 100-percent state taxpayer supported, with no consideration of actual savings to the state's general fund.
This is significant because a total of 75 percent of the overall DEC budget is funded by outside sources, other than taxes, the two men said.
Among the largest sources is the $50 million state Conservation Fund. Another $15 to $18 billion dollars comes from federal grants and programs with matching federal money, Cushing said.
Last year, when the state hiked sportsmen's licenses across the board, sportsmen were promised by the DEC it would maintain the services and programs paid for out of the Conservation Fund at "existing levels." So much for promises.
The bottom line is that if DEC staff are cut who perform services and programs paid for by the state's Conservation Fund or by federal dollars, there is no overall savings to the taxpayers, Cushing and Parker note.
Why is this all significant? Parker said the state's recreational fishing generates about $6 billion a year to the state's economy, with hunting and trapping approaching the $2 to 3 billion mark. Recreational boating contributes another estimated $5 billion each year.
"It's like if I gave you $100 and can show a $600 return, that's a pretty good investment," he said. "But if you take away the person who can implement or who can apply for that money... the over-all losses are even greater."

Erie Zoo closing for the year on Nov. 30
Jack Yarrington stared at the jaguar Wednesday morning, watching the sleek animal pace from side to side.
The 3-year-old Harborcreek boy counts the Erie Zoo's jaguar exhibit and classic train ride as his favorite parts of the popular facility.
"Let's go to the playground!" Jack happily shouted to his mother before running off.
Better add the playground to his list of top spots at the zoo.
Erin Yarrington took her two children, Jack and 1-year-old Hannah, to the zoo on Wednesday for what is likely the final time this year.
The zoo's last day is Nov. 30 before it closes for three months.
Erie Zoo President Scott Mitchell said shutting down the zoo in December, January and February saves the facility about $80,000. Once open year-round, the zoo has been closing in late November for the past decade.
The zoo will reopen to visitors on March 1.
"This is a great place, even just to walk around," Erin Yarrington said. "It's something that we do as a family, and we'll miss it over the winter."
Several staff members on a sunny and mostly warm Wednesday walked the zoo grounds with brooms and garbage cans, sweeping up fallen leaves and cleaning up loose garbage.
Mitchell said the zoo saw a 5 percent increase in business in 2012 when compared to 2011. The Erie Zoo annually averages about 465,000 patrons.
"We had a tremendous spring, one of the best in our history. But the hot summer didn't help us," Mitchell said. "Ninety degrees is good for beaches and water parks, but not us."
The zoo began closing up shop for 2012 about a month ago when the first signs of overnight frost hit the region, Mitchell said.
Several animals, including the pigs, tortoises and porcupines, were moved inside until spring because they can't handle nighttime outdoor temperatures below 30 degrees.
Banana and hibiscus plants, and other sensitive tropical plants in the zoo's outdoor greenhouse, have been relocated to the zoo's indoor greenhouse.
Three buildings housing the zoo's concession stands also have been shut down.
"A lot of the work has been done," Mitchell said.
Waterford resident Jeanette Stull, at the zoo Wednesday with her youngest daughter, Kallie, 3, said her family has been zoo members since 2004.
"We love coming here," Stull said. "My oldest (8-year-old daughter, Kendall) is mad. She wanted to come with us today and take the day off from school."

I wouldn't mind buying those games for $5.
Any chance they would look better than they do now

Pirates rule the Philippine seas
Posted May 14th 2007 8:00PM by Eric Caoili
Filed under: News, Imports
After a tour of the country last year, Indian President Abdul Kalam described the Philippines as a "smiling republic." Wherever he went, Kalam was met with smiling faces. Well, you'd be grinning too if you saw how cheap their games are. Thanks to the black market, popular Nintendo Wii titles are priced as low as $5 in some shops. Piracy has become so widespread in the Southeast Asian country, even Sony admits that most of its Playstation software sold in the Philippines are bootlegged copies.
Filipino site GameOPS found that many stores also offer modchip installations. For about $51, you can have your system hacked to play these counterfeit games at the local mall or market. Furthermore, some shops advertise console bundles, selling imported and modded US Wiis with five copied games of your choice for around $450. Similar deals for chipped Xbox 360 systems with 10 pirated titles are actually cheaper at $388.
With such a high level of piracy already in place, Nintendo will have a lot to work against when -- or if -- it decides to finally launch the Wii in the Philippines.
Thanks for sharing.

I can't help myself. In the summer they're everywhere I like to be: along the beach path from my parents' summer rental in Cotuit, Massachusetts … surrounding my friend's Nantucket "shack" … along the harbor walk from Charlestown to South Boston … hugging the length of the Province Lands bike path on the tip of the Outer Cape … and up in Camden, Maine, they separate Noma's stony beach from her grassy backyard. I'm talking about Rosa rugosa–a.k.a. the wild rose, or the beach rose–the backdrop to summer at the seashore. I love gathering the delicately-scented, edible flowers–pale pink, fuchsia, and white–the way some folks collect seashells.
I can't leave the house in summer without a plastic bag. The walk to the beach takes me twice as long, because I pluck as I go. (I don't gather from private gardens or state beaches, and I avoid stripping bare the lovely barrier these low shrubs provide. I also like knowing the source of my petals, because I love to cook with them, and a pesticide-protected garden isn't going to help my end game.) As soon as I have a full bag of Rosa rugosas I toss a few into the evening's salad and freeze the rest. When I've accumulated enough, I get busy making preserves–a treat anytime, but smack in the middle of a winter snowstorm, as you spread this fragrant jam on your morning toast, you may just feel the hint of a warm summer breeze.

For some people, life's problems go far beyond typical mental health difficulties. Serious mental illness can be truly debilitating. Perhaps more than with any other type of mental disorder, it can leave a person and his or her family completely devoid of hope.
Through Community's full spectrum of services for the seriously mentally ill, these individuals and their families can find a way to cope and even to hope. Community's professionals work to treat each client at whatever level of care he or she may need. They then strive to help their clients reach the highest possible level of functioning.
For 24-hour crisis referral, call 317-621-5700 or toll-free at 800-662-3445.
Clients of Community's program for the seriously mentally ill typically have schizophrenia or another psychotic or mood disorder that significantly impairs their ability to function. This illness is expected to last more than a year or is the result of some kind of situational trauma. Clients typically experience significant problems in at least two of these four areas:
For these clients, Community psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, social workers, counselors, case managers and other professionals can provide any or all of the following services.
For those clients who can remain at home, Community provides a range of support. These services can help them remain as active as possible while receiving the professional care they need:
The professionals at Community Support Services manage the cases of clients facing a serious mental illness. For each client, a case management team assesses the client's needs, plans treatment, monitors medication and provides home visits as needed.
This service also offers "psychosocial rehabilitation," which includes therapy groups, mental health education, skill-building groups and work teams. Clients learn coping skills from enjoyable recreation and socialization in a clubhouse atmosphere.
In addition, Community Support Services can provide supported employment services and vocational rehabilitation and offer referrals for home health nursing services.
Some clients in the midst of a serious mental illness are unable to live independently. In these situations, Community offers a variety of supervised living arrangements.
Group homes
Group homes in Indianapolis and Shelbyville provide clients with 24-hour supervision. Instructors help residents learn daily living skills such as money management, cooking, cleaning, medication management and personal hygiene.
Case managers supervise each resident's clinical care. Other supportive care includes transportation and assistance with medical appointments as well as social support.
The group home staff monitors each resident's functional level with the goal of improving independent living skills so he or she may move to a less restrictive living environment.
Cluster apartments
In this program, two clients live together in affordable housing, receiving case management services in the day and skills instruction in the evening. The program strives to build clients' skills and health so they may move to a more independent living situation.
Semi-independent living program
In this time-limited program, clients live independently but with professional support that helps them establish and maintain their independence.
Clients dealing with a severe psychiatric crisis can find help at the Psychiatric Pavilion located on the Community Hospital North campus. The pavilion features a number of age- and diagnosis-specific inpatient units, including a program specifically designed for the needs of seriously mentally ill clients.
The staff stabilizes individuals and helps them reach a point where they can return home or to a residential living program.
Indiana offers some state hospital programs that provide long-term care for treatment-resistant psychosis or for clients who are persistently suicidal and/or homicidal. Community's professionals can refer you to the appropriate care.
Whatever your situation, help is within your reach. Call Community's 24-hour crisis phone line at 317-621-5700 or 800-662-3445 (toll-free) for more information about any of these services. Our professionals can suggest how and where you can begin to find help.
Master's-degreed clinicians stand by at all hours and have at their disposal a network of supportive services in your area, including emergency behavioral care.

On a Short Leash? Young Organizations, Strategic Change, and Venture Capital
Matt Marx
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
September 14, 2009
Abstract: A vast literature chronicles the struggles of established firms to adapt, but few studies have examined whether young organizations are indeed more adaptive than their senior corporate siblings. Firms attempting to commercialize inventions during a period of technological change may need to adapt their strategies, but established organizations often remain tied to existing paths. Nascent firms may be better poised to explore various commercialization avenues yet are resource-constrained. While external investment may promise to solve the resource problem, might such investors reduce a firm's adaptability? I investigate these questions using a dataset chronicling strategies and financing of all firms in the worldwide automatic speech recognition industry from 1952-2006.

Haunt Review: Terror in the Park (Buhlow Fun Park)
I feel bad for haunted house lovers in central Louisiana. Southern Louisiana is one of the most blessed regions for haunt fans with the 13th Gate, House of Shock and The Mortuary all within about 90 minutes of each other. However, once you go north of Lafayette, things become rather dead until you make it to Shreveport or Monroe (and even then it seems to be dicey).
Louisiana Nightmares was a solid haunt in Alexandria operated by Midnight Productions, the same people who do the 13th Gate, but they closed it down to focus on the larger Baton Rouge attraction. Sadly, nothing has risen to fill its void, though the Buhlow Fun Park (do NOT click that link, may cause cancer of the eyes) seems to have made a play to capture its customers.
For those who don't know, which I imagine to be most of the people reading this, the Buhlow Fun Park is a basic fun park on Buhlow lake outside of Alexandria, Louisiana. It has go-carts, an arcade, mini golf and a place to get your picture taken with The Simpsons among other attractions. However, every October it also opens up its "Terror in the Park" haunted house, which the signs assure us it is a "A Real Haunted House".
I visited the Buhlow Fun Park haunt two years ago and came away with a mixed impression. Though it was short and low-budget, I had to respect their creativity and imagination. They did a lot of great work with what they had. My review, if I had written one, would have been a 5 out of 10 with a tag line "A less-than-average haunt displays some above-average ingenuity to become a mediocre attraction that's still respectable."
However, in the two years since something has changed. The creativity is gone and what is left is a disappointing haunt experience that no longer redeems itself in any significant way.
The Good
Previously, the haunt was very creative and there were many scares that made me think "I've never seen that before". Fortunately, at least some of that spark is still alive. The haunt makes great use of sound throughout, airhorns and lights are well timed and are effective, if somewhat cheap, startles.
The haunt also does a reasonably good job of disorientation. Though it has limited space it seems to make good use of it with lots of twists and turns. While I'm not fond of the use of mazes, which the haunt has, it's short and actually helps to confuse more than to lose you as you go through.
The actors in the haunt were also very good and worked their roles very well. From the mourning widow to the Hannibal Lecter character they played their parts the best they could and their effort did show.
However, there is very limited that I can say good about the haunt this year. In prior years, the actors made use of everything from powertools to folding chairs to get scares. This year, they were more limited in what they did and that had a very negative impact on the haunt.The
The Bad
The question here is where to begin.
The walkthrough is incredibly short. From ticket taking to completion was only 4 minutes and 15 seconds for my group. This despite a $10 admission fee. Chamber of Horrors, by contrast, costs the same and has three times the walkthrough. It felt like it should have cost half as much.
The decor in the haunt was nonexistent. All of the walls were, more or less, flat black and most of the props were clearly store bought and, truth be told, looked fairly cheesy. There's also not much of a facade outside to speak of, just faux stone brick wrapping, the kind that many home haunters use.
The scares themselves were fairly unoriginal and ineffective. This was largely because much of the scaring wasn't being done by the actors or they were working in rooms that didn't let them get the desired effect. In short, the rooms were working against the people trying run them.
This made most of the haunt walkthrough fairly dull actually. Yes, there were loud noises, good use of lighting and some talented actors roaming the halls, but there was nothing to look at, no really good opportunities to get scared and it was all over much too quick.
In short, it isn't worth the trip and certainly not worth the money.
Bottom Line
If the attraction had cost $5 instead of $10, I probably wouldn't be so jaded. That would put it at a price point on par with various charity haunts I've been to and have enjoyed and it would be about the same quality. But with the higher price tag comes greater expectations and tougher competition.
Compare this to the Chamber of Horrors. Both cost $10 but CoH has a 12-minute walkthrough, well-designed sets, custom props and a slew of well-placed scares. Buhlow gives you a third of the walkthrough, a quarter of the design and almost none of the scares but sees fit to charge the same price.
What drives me crazy though is that Alexandria is so haunt-starved that Buhlow is doing brisk business. My group had to wait almost 45 minutes to get through the line. Meanwhile, CoH, on the same weekend, was fairly dead (though things have picked up since).
My advice to anyone in the area is, if possible, to skip this attraction. I could only recommend it as a starter haunt for someone who had never been inside one before. Scary enough to get the rush in places, but gentle enough to coddle even the most faint of heart. The reasonably brave or experienced should pass.
Instead, they should take I-49 south and then either I-10 or 190 east to Baton Rouge and visit the 13th Gate. Here's a map if you need one.
It is what we did and you will thank me later if you do it, even if it is a long drive.
My wife and discussed this rating beforehand. I wanted to give it a 4, she voted a 3. After thinking about it, I have to agree with her.
Note: I am loathe to do ratings on reviews in general because it can be impossible sum up a complex series of opinions in a number. This is especially true with haunted attractions as your enjoyment of the haunt will depend almost exclusively on what it is you seek. Your mileage will always vary.
Buhlow Fun Park is located at 1715 Monroe Highway, Pineville, LA., just outside of Alexandria.

Here we are with only three and a half weeks left in 2010 and it's (nearly) below freezing outside! Usher in the season for a hot toddy with a twist (or two)!
I remember being introduced to this mythical drink shortly after moving from England to America in 2007 by my then boyfriend. Was there any merit to his "theory" that a specially concocted drink would help my achy and congested body heal? Then I remembered that in Eritrea a shot of cognac pretty much cures anything. So I had my first toddy that night in Brooklyn and I slept like a baby.
Here is a beautiful recipe for chai toddy. I choose chai because it is the perfect holiday tea! Sweet, spicy and delicious! Thank me later (wink).
Until next week, breathe well and be well!
Chai Toddy Recipe
- 6 oz spiced rum
- 2 tbsp peppermint schnapps
- 4 tbsp honey
- 16 oz hot chai tea
Combine and enjoy!

The Christian Broadcasting Network is holding summer camps for orphans in Ukraine this year. In the camps, over 400 children and young adults go to Bible classes. They also attend workshops that help them learn practical skills they can use in the future. The youths are also offered the attention and love that they wouldn't get in their normal environment. Campers are shown what the love of Jesus really is -- by the love counselors show them. At one camp, all 100 children prayed to accept Jesus as their savior. Former orphans who have participated in the summer camps, often come back and serve as volunteers. The children are connected with local believers so that after the camps are over, they will have Christian friends to turn to for encouragement.

I'm honestly not sure where he would end up. But looking at how the Canucks have their money spread out they would have to move Kesler plus someone else or move a lot of depth in order to make up the cap difference. As for Boston again they could do it but future wise it won't make sense to pull the trigger on a trade involving Rask.
I can see the Hawks make an offer. Bye bye Kane & Hjalmarsson(sp). Not sure if Kane's NMC is active until 14-15 or it doesn't kick in until 14-15. Another team is the Leafs!
I agree the Leafs would make sense. I'm just not sure they have what Columbus is looking for. Kadri, Schenn, Colbourne, 1st. No potential franchise goalie in their system to offer. It seems team have some of the criteria for a Nash trade. Some have the Cap space and are a Cup contender which Nash would likely be willing to go to (Wings, Bruins). Others have the right pieces to offer such as a young potential franchise goalie (Canucks, Kings, Bruins) and ohers are desperate and would likely be willing to gut their entire franchise for him (Leafs, Kings). Other teams have good young pieces to offer but not the franchise goalie In the end maybe he doesn't get moved until the summer. If I'm Nash, I'd want to go to Detroit. Cup contender each season, class organization and close to home (London, Ontario). However, if I'm Columbus, Detroit is the last place I'd want to deal my franchise player to.

North Charleston officials want to purchase a fireboat to combat waterfront disasters, saying the expanding port and potential terror threats mandate better protection.
City Council on Thursday approved pursuing a nearly $800,000 Department of Homeland Security grant to purchase a 30-foot, fully equipped fireboat.
The vessel is needed "to provide comprehensive fire protection to a port community," Fire Chief Gregory Bulanow said.
If approved, it would be the first full-service fireboat in the Charleston area, he added.
Charleston's waterfront communities have various marine-response capabilities. But in the event of a disaster or waterfront fire, North Charleston officials say a dedicated fireboat would be key given the city's distance up the Cooper River from other municipalities or the next line of help.
Bulanow also noted North Charleston has rivers on two sides with significant commercial and recreational boat traffic tied to each.
The department has a 21-foot boat with a portable 300 gallon-per-minute pump. The boat being pursued in the grant would have a 2,000 gallon-per-minute pump, greatly increasing the department's disaster-response capabilities. If the grant is awarded, the city would have to put up about $200,000 in matching funds. The cost would include training the personnel who are assigned to boat duty.
City Councilman Ed Astle said a dedicated fireboat would cover a much-needed service on the waterfront. Ever since the regular Navy presence at the former shipyard left, fewer tugs with water spray are available, he said.

Strange - is this something set in the network scripts of your unnamed

It's probably not your imagination. Assuming you are gauging performance
by timing how fast a web page comes up, or how fast an FTP file transfer
occurs, then you will see a performance hit. Assuming the data is large
enough to fill many packets - let's use a one million byte file as an
example, and no TCP or IP options in the headers, then you will need
MTU IP Header TCP header "data" headers/data packets/MB
576 20 20 536 7.4% 1866
1500 20 20 1460 2.7% 685
to carry the data. You'll have some similar relationship of packets
going in the opposite direction (ACKs) unless your network stack is
only sending an ACK packet after so many bytes. This also ignores
any dropped packets, and how that may effect retransmissions.
Why would it establish such a strange number? Very good question.
In theory, this is an old X.25 standard value, and RFC1191 points
back to RFC1122, where in Section 3.3.3, we find
It is generally desirable to avoid local fragmentation and to
choose EMTU_S low enough to avoid fragmentation in any gateway
along the path. In the absence of actual knowledge of the
minimum MTU along the path, the IP layer SHOULD use
EMTU_S <= 576 whenever the destination address is not on a
connected network, and otherwise use the connected network's
You can find the RFCs using any search engine. The rfc-index says

Neither RFC1349 or RFC4379 mention MTU.
I'd suggest looking through your boot scripts - no information on which

you are using DHCP, this _could_ be coming from the DHCP server.

George McPhee has been tabbed as the first general manager of the NHL's expansion Las Vegas franchise, and he hopes to build an entertaining team that can compete sooner rather than later.
Owner Bill Foley picked McPhee out of seven candidates based on his extensive experience. It's up to McPhee to build Las Vegas from scratch when it begins play in 2017-18, a task he knows won't be easy.
"Our mission here is clear: We're going to build an organization and a team that people in Nevada and Las Vegas will be proud of, and we're going to do it quickly and we're aiming at the Stanley Cup," McPhee said Wednesday. "It's that simple."

UNIVERSITY PARK - Following are the highlights and lowlights from Penn State's 17-14 loss to Nebraska on Saturday at Beaver Stadium:
Play of the game: On first down from the Nittany Lions' 14, Cornhusker quarterback Taylor Martinez optioned right and flipped the ball at the very last second to Rex Burkhead, whose touchdown gave Nebraska a 17-0 lead with 8:51 left in the third quarter.
Offensive player of the game: Burkhead rushed for 121 yards on 25 carries and one TD. He also attempted a pass and caught a pass.
Article Photos
Mirror photo by Patrick Waksmunski
Penn State running back Stephfon Green rushed for 71 yards and two touchdowns.
Defensive player of the game: Nebraska linebacker Will Compton made 13 tackles, including one for loss.
Most telling statistic: Of Nebraska's eight punts, five put Penn State inside its own 20. Of the Lions' seven punts, none were downed inside the 20.
Hidden statistic: Penn State went scoreless in the first half for the second straight game and failed to score a touchdown in the first half for the fourth time this year.
Best run: Silas Redd cut into an opening and broke two Nebraska tackles for a 14-yard gain in the first quarter.
Best pass: Matt McGloin threw a 40-yarder over the middle to Derek Moye at the Cornhuskers' 5, leading to a touchdown that pulled PSU within 17-7 midway through the third quarter.
Worst pass: This was not a day for great quarterbacking. McGloin had Justin Brown open over the middle in the first half but threw behind him.
Best catch: Curtis Drake snagged a pass deflected off Brown and turned it into a 31-yard gainer in the first quarter.
Catch it, will ya: Didn't see any obvious drops.
Best call: The Lions ran a reverse in which Drake found McGloin for a 16-yard reception to the Huskers' 6, setting up a TD that pulled them within 17-14 with 5:42 left in the game.
Worst call(s): Penn State, down 17-7, ran the ball too much in the fourth quarter, wasting time, lacking urgency and ultimately failing on fourth-and-1 with 1:49 left.
Best block: McGloin stuck his nose in to aid a short gain on a first-quarter reverse.
Best tackle: Devon Still beat a double-team to dump Martinez for an early 3-yard loss.
Best hit: Stephfon Green decked Nebraska kickoff returner Kenny Bell to open the second half.
Best kick: Nebraska punter Brett Maher boomed a 61-yard punt to the PSU 11 with 3:52 left.
Worst kick: Anthony Fera missed a 47-yard field goal that could have opened the scoring in the first quarter. That let a little air out of the emotional crowd.
Worst penalty: On third-and-9 from the PSU 14, Nebraska drew a borderline pass interference call against the Lions' Nick Sukay in the last minute that set up the Cornhuskers' first TD and a 10-0 lead with 44 seconds left in the first half.
Best effort: In his best game of the season, Green rushed for 71 yards on 17 carries and both PSU touchdowns. He also caught three passes and made one tackle.
Unsung hero: Martinez isn't flashy, and he's got an unorthodox delivery. But he managed the game well and accounted for nearly 200 yards of offense by completing 13-of-26 for 143 yards and no interceptions and rushing 10 times for 56 yards.

Visiting Memorial: visit your child's place of memorial with friends and family

Chico Hamilton: Joyous Shout
Let's review that career a bit, because it's truly quite extraordinary. Born Foreststorn Hamilton in East Los Angeles in 1921, he was in a big family. His mother's heritage was Mexican, Indian and German Jewish and his father worked as a railroad porter and later, in LA, at the University Club of Southern California. It was the first Great Depression and things were tight for the Hamiltons. Says Hamilton, "Everyone was poor so we didn't think of ourselves that way. Many ethnic groups lived together there so it wasn't really a ghetto."
Hamilton started playing clarinet at age eight but switched a year or so later to a set of drums that belonged to an older brother who had graduated. "I made my own drumsticks and played them on everything in the house. My parents weren't necessarily musical but they encouraged me to play despite the fact that the church frowned on it. My mother took me to hear Duke Ellington when I was about nine and I had never seen anything like that. The band was in a pyramid and Sonny Greer was at the top. I consider him the first true percussionisthe played everything."
Hamilton bought his first set of drums at age 12 with money he earned from shining shoes. While in junior high school, Chico competed in an "amateur hour" at a local theater and won a first prize of $50, playing with a local pianist. Hamilton went to the noted Jefferson High School where some of his celebrated schoolmates were Ernie Royal, Dexter Gordon, Buddy Collette and Charles Mingus.
Soon, Hamilton had engagements with a wide variety of extraordinary musicians including Lionel Hampton, Slim Gaillard and Slam Stewart, T-Bone Walker, Lester Young, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Charlie Barnet, Billy Eckstine, Nat "King" Cole, Sammy Davis Jr., Billie Holiday and Gerry Mulligan. He also was part of the group backing Fred Astaire in the 1941 film You'll Never Get Rich.
For eight years, starting in the late '40s, Hamilton became the drummer for Lena Horne. He remembers, "I was a 'hotshot' drummer on the West Coast and I worked for a dancer, Marie Bryant, who was a friend of Lena's. When Lena needed a drummer, Marie recommended me. I had never even heard of her. I went to her house in the hills and the guy that opened the gate was this sharply dressed dudeturned out to be Luther Henderson, Lena's pianist and musical director. We started rehearsing right away and while we were there a guy with a painter's outfit and a can of paint came in a few times. I find out later it's Lennie Hayton, Lena's husband. Both he and Luther were great musicians and major mentors for me. We rehearsed and only saw Lena after about a week!"
In 1955, Chico Hamilton left the employ of Horne and went out on his own as a leader. That year he made the eponymous debut recording of a unique, chamber-like group that included Buddy Collette, Jim Hall, Carson Smith and, on cello, Fred Katz. The personnel changed over the years and showcased such notables as Paul Horn, John Pisano and Eric Dolphy. In 1961, he revamped the group yet again, this time with Charles Lloyd, George Bohanon, Albert Stinson and Gabor Szabo. During these years, these groups made hit recordings and Hamilton did film work (he scored the Roman Polanski film Repulsion). "I had a family to feed and, besides, good music is good music. All of my work was part of a lifelong learning process."
The latest chapter in Hamilton's career also involved learning. As one of the original faculty members of The New School jazz program, the drummer found a way to discover and highlight another generation of great players. The group Euphoria was founded in 1987 with saxophonist Eric Person, guitarist Cary DeNigris and bassist Reggie Washington. This group's personnel has also changed; it still features DeNigris but also includes saxophonist Evan Schwam and bassist Paul Ramsey.

FREEHOLD – The man accused of buckling his 2-year-old daughter in a car seat, weighing it down with a car jack and leaving her in a stream to die rejected a plea offer and the case is expected to go to trial in March.
Arthur Morgan III, 29, of Eatontown, is charged with murder, endangering the welfare of a child and interference with custody.
The Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office offered Morgan a plea of life without parole.
Monmouth County Superior Court Judge Anthony Mellaci told Morgan that if convicted at trial, he faces a maximum sentence of life without parole plus 15 years to be served consecutively.
"It appears that the defendant is prepared and ready to exercise his right to go to trial," Mellaci said.
Dressed in a yellow jumpsuit with his hands cuffed at his waist and feet shackled together, Morgan only spoke to answer the judge's questions in relation to the plea rejection. Today was the last day Morgan could accept the plea from the prosecutor's office.
Monmouth County First Assistant Prosecutor Richard Incremona said his office has the discretion to offer a lesser sentence in a plea offer, but maintained that life without parole is the right sentence.
Morgan is accused of killing his 2-year-old daughter, Tierra Morgan-Glover, on Nov. 21, 2011 during his visitation time. Imani Benton, who was the young girl's mother and Morgan's estranged girlfriend, alerted police when her daughter did not return home.
A manhunt for Morgan spanned across the country and the U.S. Marshals arrested him in San Diego, Ca. the day after his daughter's funeral.
School children found Tierra's body submerged under water near the School House Lane bridge in Wall Township, still wearing her pink coat and strapped in her pink, floral pattern car seat.
Last month, Mellaci denied a defense motion to change the venue of the trial, but ruled that statements Morgan made while in San Diego, Ca. and on a plane back to New Jersey would be admissible at trial. He also denied a state's motion to show a video at trial depicting three possible scenarios in which Tierra's body ended up in the stream.
The possible two-month long trial is expected to start March 3.
Public Defender Jeff Coghlan declined to comment.

It may correct per the Standard, but it's not pretty (until you see the alternatives)
An interesting thread appeared on the SolidWorks Forum this earlier this month. A SolidWorks user posted a question asking how to flip dimension text from one side of a dimension line to the other, for an ISO Standard drawing. The perceived problem was that a non-orthogonal linear dimension appears backwards to nearby orthogonal linear dimensions. more »

Mattie Rhodes Center supports Westside arts, families, community
by COURTNEY COY
It is said that it takes a village to raise a child, but for one West Side organization, working with children, families and their neighborhoods is paramount. The Mattie Rhodes Center, the Mattie Rhodes Art Center and the Mattie Rhodes Art Gallery are devoted to providing positive experiences to Kansas City's Latino community. Social services, mental health counseling, art programs, workshops and gallery space focused on promoting Latino artists. All services are bilingual and designed to embrace the Hispanic community.
"We work primarily with two neighborhoods. These neighborhoods include Latin Americans and Spanish immigrants who are adjusting to American life," said Mary Lou Jaramillo, Director of the Mattie Rhodes Center. "The Center has been providing quality services in youth development and the arts for one hundred and nine years."
Established in 1894, the center has remained true to its mission, a pledge to "help the needy and suffering by working for them, learning about them and trying to interest others in them."
"We discovered that local youth and teens did not have enough positive activities to do, and that education could be enhanced by arts and crafts," said Jaramillo. "Quality art opportunities focusing on culture were needed. At that time there were no venues showing Latino arts. That is how the Mattie Rhodes Art Center came to exist."
"Education of one's culture is important," said Center director, Jenny Mendez. "Art connects to everything, from food to music-art is definitely an enormous part of Latino heritage and culture. By working with the center, children learn self-esteem, new skills and how to work as a team and contribute ideas. They also develop a better understanding of art and different fields that are available to them through art."
The Children's Art Exhibit, a recent Mattie Rhodes Art Gallery show, featured the work of children involved in the art center's After School Art Program. A colorful exhibit, the children utilized folk art and religious icons, mixing imagination and spirit, expressed through paint, printmaking, mixed media and ceramics. The gallery is currently preparing for its May exhibit, Mujeres Fuertes.
To balance the feminine with the masculine, Machismo is scheduled for June. The exhibit asks Latino male artists to define the meaning of being a man, exploring strengths, weaknesses and their cultural identity. Opening reception will be held, Friday, June 6, 7-10 p.m. and will run through June 28.
Other upcoming shows for 2003 include Uniendo Nuestras Culturas: A Multi-Cultural Exhibit, Chicano Exhibit, Dia de Los Muertos-The Day of the Dead and Visiones de Guadalupe-Visions of our Lady of Guadalupe. All exhibits offer lectures and workshops.
The Mattie Rhodes Art Gallery is located at 919 West 17 street, Kansas City, MO. For additional information on the Mattie Rhodes Center and the Mattie Rhodes Art Center and Gallery visit www.mattierhodes.org.
