This was not a glitch. Look at the line itself. It is composed of a number of sell orders. It was a simultaneous bungee jump. On the buy side, there were multiple orders that bid the price right back up.
Not a WOOPS.

The New York State Police reports the arrest of two Middletown, NY men for burglary. On April 4, 2013, at approximately 4:00 PM, troopers from the Middletown barracks were patrolling East Main Street in the Mechanicstown section of the Town of Wallkill when they observed two males exiting a vacant residence. Both men were carrying large duffle bags.
Further investigation by the troopers revealed that the men did not have permission to be in the residence, and had removed a large quantity of copper wiring from within. Troopers arrested ARNULFO FLORES, age 25, and RICHARD P. SOHL, age 24, both of Middletown. Both subjects were charged with burglary in the third degree, a felony, and possession of burglar's tools, a misdemeanor. Both men were arraigned in Town of Wallkill Court, and committed to Orange County Jail in lieu of $4,000.00 bail/$16,000.00 bond.

A La Crosse Mayoral candidate released phase three Thursday of his plan to revitalize local neighborhoods.
Doug Farmer has already outlined his plan to invest money into refurbishing homes, and cutting down on neighborhood crime. Phase three is to control property taxes.
He is calling for an Executive budget. It would be created by the mayor after working with each individual department head.
It's been done in the past, but not under the current mayor.
Farmer says the overall goal is to level off property taxes. "If you just keep them from growing and let the other community catch up, it will be good for us, we need to give people a chance to stay in their own homes and that's what we're after here, not tax them out of their houses," said Farmer.
Voters will decided between Farmer and Tim Kabat on Tuesday.

"The narrative is more about a personal note of my own — about life and death," said Tristan Schober, one of the artists whose work is on display inside the Coastal Bend College art gallery, along with that of other faculty.
The display is part of the exhibit featuring artwork of the college faculty.
"Several of my loved ones have died recently, and several of my loved ones have died due to suicide.
"It is a reflection of where do you go from there."
Each photo in this series features a white marionette made of porcelain in an area meant to convey a feeling that comes when a loved one is lost.
A marionette is simply a puppet whose movements are controlled by strings.
"I hate to take it this far back but Sesame Street was my first introduction to puppets," she said. "That is very childlike — sweet and educational.
"But then I was introduced to the movie the Dark Crystal and Labyrinth which are both Jim Henson productions."
These photos, along with her other work, delve deeper than most would think could be accomplished with a simple white figurine.
"The work is pretty serious despite the fact that it does feature marionettes," she said. "It is a little bit of a self portrait."
While they are a self portrait of her, they can also be self portraits of anyone who views them.
"It is a blank canvas," she said. "The are representative of any man – of every man."
Schober said that it was this symbolic nature of the porcelain figures that attracted her.
"You can see yourself in the puppet's shoes or place."
A person, she said, shares characteristics with the figures.
"A puppet is pretty much motionless unless you interact with it and make it move," she said. "Sometimes we can feel like a puppet.
"We are tugged on and pulled on by a lot of different things in life.
"There are many different factors that can influence us."
Her photos, five on display at the museum, depict life, death and the healing that comes after a traumatic event.
"This piece is called Lost," she said, standing in front of one piece. "As a survivor or someone left with the reality of a death. What do you do with this knowledge?
"It is heartbreaking. It is sad. You experience a lot of different emotions."
The marionette in this piece is suspended in tall grass that could easily consume him.
He is supported by only one of his strings.
"This marionette is in an aimless field," she said. "His strings are flung all over the place... on the precipice of collapsing or getting lost amongst the grass."
The marionette conveys that helpless feeling.
"Death is a loss and a lot of times you feel lost and you don't know how to process it."
Each photo takes a different emotion.
The exhibit will remain on display through Sept. 17 in the Simon Michael Gallery of the college's art building.
Works from other college faculty are also on display.

The no-cost workshop, called "From Battleground to Breaking Ground," is one of numerous free educational opportunities to be provided to attendees of the show, which takes place Nov. 8-10 on the grounds of the Freeman Coliseum, 3201 E. Houston St.
"This program will give military veterans interested in farming or ranching the opportunity to get information on aspects of starting, developing and funding an agriculture-based business," said Bryan Davis, AgriLife Extension agent for Bexar County and educational coordinator for the show. "It's one of dozens of no-cost educational programs being offered during the SAIFRS, most of which provide attendees with continuing education units or credits."
Davis said the workshop addresses the possibilities for ranching or farming for veterans both with and without disabilities.
"This program for veterans has been created with input from AgriLife Extension, Texas AgrAbility, the USDA's Natural Resource Conservation Service, the National Farmer Veteran Coalition, Farm Service Agency, Texas Department of Agriculture and others," he said.
The program begins with registration from 8:30-9 a.m. Presentations start at 9:15 a.m., beginning with an overview of agribusiness opportunities and a talk by a military veteran currently involved in production agriculture. Additional agenda items include a panel discussion on resources available for funding and business plan development, and the program concludes with a presentation on the Texas AgrAbility Project.
"Texas AgrAbility is a program of AgriLife Extension that focuses on connecting, assisting and empowering agricultural producers, their family members and employees with disabilities and chronic health conditions to stay engaged in production agriculture," said Dr. Cheryl Grenwelge, AgriLife Extension specialist in disability transition with the Texas AgrAbility Project. "About 45 percent of returning veterans are from rural areas, and we want to enable veterans with or without disabilities to return to the area of production agriculture if they choose."

- 100g mayonnaise (I used Hellman's)
Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Pour enough water into a small pan to one-third fill it. Bring to the boil, then remove the pan from the heat. Put the chopped chocolate into a large bowl that will fit snugly over the pan without touching the water. Sit the pan over the water (still off the heat) and leave the chocolate to melt slowly for a few mins, stirring occasionally until it has melted evenly. Remove the bowl from the pan, then let the chocolate cool slightly.
Meanwhile, lightly oil and base-line a 19cm square cake tin that is 5cm deep. Combine the flour, cocoa and bicarbonate of soda. Using a wooden spoon, stir both the sugars into the cooled chocolate with the coffee, vanilla and buttermilk. Stir in 1 tbsp warm water. Break and beat in the egg, then stir in the mayonnaise just until smooth and glossy. Sift over the flour and cocoa mix, then gently fold in with a spatula without overmixing.
Pour the mixture into the tin, then gently and evenly spread it into the corners. Bake for 30 mins. When a skewer is inserted into the middle, it should come out with just a few moist crumbs sticking to it. If cooked too long, the mix will dry out; not long enough and it can sink. Leave in the tin until completely cold, then loosen the sides with a round-bladed knife. Turn out onto a board, peel off the lining paper and cut into 12 squares.

Never made chocolate brownies before, but tried this recipe yesterday, and wanted to add my voice to the rating of 5 stars. It's absolutely divine. Kids love it, tried it with some vanilla ice-cream yesterday, totally delicious! Will be making a couple of batches for a gathering of 23 I'm cooking for at the end of the month, and plan to serve it with ice cream. Thank you for this recipe, I'm sure I'll be making it again and again.........! PS was easy to make too!
I made these for the first time yesterday, they were perfect! It did feel weird putting mayonnaise in, but hey ho, they taste goooood!
I didn't have the right size tin but threw caution to the wind and used a 30cm x 9cm x 3cm tin and it worked great. 30 mins was perfect for me.
Although they aren't gooey on the inside, they are so soft and moorish. I will probably put choc chunks or nuts in next time to add a bit of crunch.
Great recipe but made to look a lot more difficult than it actually is with such a long winded explanation of every step!
Instead of 185 of dark chocolate, I used 100g of dark chocolate, 40g of milk chocolate and added a spoonful of golden syrup when I added the chocolate and butter to eggy mousse mix. I also added 1tsp of baking powder to the flour. Instead of 50g of milk and 50g of white choc I used 100g of terrys milk chocolate orange....they were so good, my hubby and his friends were bickering over who would get the last one at a poker night!
Made these yesterday with my 10year old son and they are absolutely gorgeous and you'd never know they were low fat. Just used ordinary milk. Nobody could tell what the secret ingredient was and I felt especially smug because I used Hellmans light mayonnaise, which I suppose means you can eat two without feeling guilty !
One of my favourite recipes, at first I was a bit unsure about using Mayo instead of butter, but they are delicious, whilst being simultaneously Dense and Light. I like to add chocolate chips. I also now separate the mixture into cupcakes cases and make Chocolate Brownie Cupcakes. One of my 'go-to' recipes, without a doubt.
what a lot of rubbish... these are full of sugar.. Why? Anything full of sugar and gunk will taste good to someone who is addicted to sugary baked junk... and Hellman's Mayonnaise?... Is a GMO product ... Very bad indeed... as is wheatflour. Wake up and stop putting out the same old tedious tooth rot., and then trying to pass it off as healthy!.. no wonder the nation's health is in jeopardy
I made the buttermilk by myself by adding 1/2 tbsp of lemon juice(or white vinegar) to 1 1/2 tbsp of milk and left it to rest after mixing them both, I used soya milk. Also, I reduced the caster sugar as it was too sweet to my taste the first time, and added lots of walnuts, choco chips, and mini marshmallows! It was fantastic and everybody loved it at school :D

Richwood man sentenced in Upshur
A Richwood man will spend the next five years behind bars after being sentenced Tuesday in Upshur County Circuit Court for delivery of a controlled substance and for driving on a revoked license.
Steven James Thomas was also ordered to pay all associated costs and fines within three years. He had hoped to receive an alternative sentence which would have allowed him to enter a private rehabilitation facility in Florida. But because none of the court officials were aware of this program and because of Thomas' extensive criminal history, Judge Thomas Keadle opted to sentence Thomas to the penitentiary where it was recommended he receive the necessary substance abuse counseling.
"You have never really accepted responsibility for your misdemeanors," Keadle said. "Some times when you want to dance, you have to pay the fiddler. You are at that point."
Keadle outlined a laundry list of criminal charges dating back to the 1990s in Nicholas, Lewis and Upshur counties, asking if Thomas had fully paid the costs, fines or restitution. Thomas only answered that he had paid "some," explaining he had very little money left over after his $710 monthly check was used to pay for rent, food and utilities.
"The simple solution to that problem is to quit violating the law, so you don't get these fines," Keadle said.
Tonya Thomas, the defendant's wife, testified that she would have a difficult time providing for herself and the couple's four children should her husband be sent to prison. She testified that her husband and herself have had a drug problem since they have been together for the past 14 years. She said they both attend Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous meetings in the Richwood area.
"I know I done wrong," Steven Thomas said. "Once you get on drugs, it's hard to quit. I would like to go to rehab for six months, a year, whatever it takes, not just two weeks."
But Keadle refused to allow the Thomas family to travel to Florida to participate in a program with which he and others were not familiar with.
"It would be like sending him out into the wilderness somewhere and hope something good happens to him," the judge said.
In other matters, a Knoxville, Tenn., man was placed on five years of probation after being convicted of attempted malicious assault.
Dewight Smith will also be allowed to move to Wood County to live with family members, and the supervision of his probation will be transferred to officials there. Smith had served 221 days in jail since being arrested in June 2012 following an altercation at the Bobcat Lounge in Buckhannon.
Keadle also ordered that Smith submitted to mental health counseling, should those services be available in Wood County.
A Buckhannon man was also placed on five years of probation and ordered to $15 in restitution to the Upshur County Sheriff's Department after being convicted of conspiracy to deliver a controlled substance.
Joshua Poling will have to pay an $11 monthly fee to cover the costs of Community Corrections programs and his probation supervision, and he will have to pay any other costs associated with the case within the next six months.

Headlines (News Releases)
Carol Shaben named winner of the 2013 Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Jul 30/13| For Immediate Release
Ute Lischke, Professor
Kevin Crowley, Director, Communications & Public
WATERLOO Carol Shaben has won the 2013 Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction for Into the Abyss: How a Deadly Plane Crash Changed the Lives of a Pilot, a Politician, a Criminal and a Cop (Random House Canada, 2012). Award receptions to honour Shaben will take place Nov. 13 at Lauriers Waterloo and Brantford campuses.
In Into the Abyss, Shaben reconstructs a 1984 commuter plane crash in northern Alberta that killed six passengers and wounded four othersincluding Shabens father, a prominent cabinet minister.
Its a stylishly written, fast-paced tale of redemption thats more gripping and engaging than you might expect, said Ute Lischke, award juror and Laurier professor of English and Film Studies.
While the story is an expertly researched, detailed reconstruction of the crash and a call for better oversight of small, commuter airlines, its heart lies in the portraits Shaben draws of the crashs survivors: her father, the pilot and an RCMP officer and the prisoner he was transporting. Through interviews and written documents, she paints a haunting portrait of the bond created among the survivors and how the crash affected their lives.
Shaben is a freelance writer who lives in Vancouver with her husband and son. In 2005 she left a business career to focus on her long-time passion for writing, and in 2009 she was nominated for three National Magazine Awards, winning two: a Gold Medal for Investigative Reporting and a Silver Medal for Politics and Public Interest. Into the Abyss is her first book.
In addition to Into the Abyss, the shortlist for the 2013 Edna Staebler Award also included: Intolerable: A Memoir of Extremes by Kamal Al-Solaylee (HarperCollins, 2012) and A Thousand Farewells: A Reporters Journey from Refugee Camp to the Arab Spring by Nahlah Ayed (Viking, 2012).
On Wednesday, Nov. 13, the award presentation will take place from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Senate and Board Chamber on Lauriers Waterloo Campus, followed by a reception at 8 p.m. A reception will also be held on Lauriers Brantford campus earlier in the day; details will be available at wlu.ca/staebleraward.
About the Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction
Established and endowed by writer and award-winning journalist Edna Staebler, the Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction is administered by Wilfrid Laurier University, the only university in Canada to bestow a nationally recognized literary award. The $10,000 award encourages and recognizes Canadian writers for a first or second work of creative non-fiction that includes a Canadian locale and/or significance. Winning books are distinguished by first-hand research, well-crafted interpretive writing and a creative use of language or approach to the subject matter. Previous winners include authors Linden MacIntyre, Wayson Choy and Elizabeth Hay. The award is celebrating its 22nd anniversary this year.

Wes Parker Video at SABR 41 in Long Beach, CA
Greetings everyone! I have not been able to load my pictures from my trip to Minnesota & also from the SABR41 convention. But I have this video of Wes Parker when we caught him outside one of the sessions. I love Wes Parker's love for the game.
I had such a great time at the convention. Everyone was so nice and friendly. Love the fangraph group, loved talking to lots of people there. I bought some great books. I love the volunteering, going to the tour of old baseball ballparks in LA. Never knew that there was a ballpark in Vernon so close to where the Farmer John company is. Loved listening to Rob Neyer, Dennis Gilbert, Al Ferrara, Tommy Davis, Francisco Balderrama, oh just everyone!
Loved going back to Dodger Stadium with the group & going to my first trip to see the Storms against the Visalia Rawhides. Did you know that the Rawhides is locally-owned and operated by Tom and his cousin, Kevin O'Malley? Tom's grandfather was the legendary Walter O'Malley.
SABR41 was a great experience and I made some wonderful friends like Abby& Kent in this picture:
I need to go to Minnesota next year where SABR42 will be held. Also SABR43 will be in Philadelphia!
Enjoy the video
7/25/11. It worked embedding the video!

That was the SABR convention to go to Kristin since it was in Long Beach. Me too, KRistin, wished the O'Malleys were still involved with the Dodgers….
In case you didn't already know, there is a great book that profiles the life of Walter O'Malley and covers the move to Los Angeles. It is called "Forever Blue" and is written by Michael D'Antonio. I checked out a copy from the library and just finished it.
Great video Emma! Gotta love Wes Parker! It's so cool to see ballplayers and former ballplayers talk baseball.
IT was a blast and yes , I got friends in Minnesota🙂
It was great listening to Wes Paker. He still has such passion for Baseball. The stories that he was telling were priceless. I also got to listen to All Ferrara & Tommy Davis. Could listen those three for hours.
Yes it has been a loooong time! lol. I'll check your post. Will bookmark the site. Thanks
I've seen the book but have not bought it or checked it out of the library. I bought 2 books at SABR41 convention and we got another one in the goodie bag. Also Kent, who I met at SABR41 emailed me his copy of "Five O'Clock Comes Early" by Bobby Welch. I never read it so that is my next read. BUT I will read the book you suggested. So many books so little time. I also have the book "You Can't Hit the Ball wih the bat on your shoulders. by Bobby Bragan. It is signed from back in 1984. My friend Lorena found it in Dallas and she brought to me. She is sweet.
Hey Emma!
Congrats on ranking #16 on mlb fan blogs! Hope you can make it to NY next month to visit the monument to Ebbets Field (the new Citifield).
Thanks Abby! You did give me the ticket? If so let me know how to send you the money. Looking forward to it.

Preview: Phillies v. Brewers – 7:05 pm Eastern.
The Phillies (5-6, 4th) will continue their seven-games home stand by playing the first of three games at home against their 2008 National League Divisional Series opponent, the 2008 National League Wild Card Champions Milwaukee Brewers (4-8, 5th National League Central). The game will be played tonight at Citizens Bank Park and will start at 7:05 pm Eastern. The Phillies will send to the mound the ageless veteran Jamie Moyer (1-1, 6.55), who is coming off a win against the Nationals back on April 13, as he pitched six good innings, giving up four runs on eight hits and two walks, while striking out five, in the Phils' emotional 9-8 victory. He will be going for his second straight win, which trying to cut down on the number of runs that he has so far given up this season. The Brewers will counter with Manny Parra (0-2, 6.97), who is coming off a lost to the Cincinnati Reds on April 13, where he pitched six innings, giving up three runs on three hits and four walks, as he struck out four in the Brewers' 6-1 lost. He will be gunning for his first win of the season. The Phillies will be trying to even up their record at 6-6 with a win tonight.

This should be a great series.
Both teams are seeking some early answers, and should be primed for some wild times on the field.
The Phillies hit a bit of a rough spot, and should have a better result with Moyer on the mound tonight.
Who would have thought the Phillies would be at 6-6 right now. I truly thought they would be 9-3 at the worst at this point.

Julia – Thanks.
RR – It just seems to be a typical April for the Phils. But, they are around the same point as they were last year, with a different. The bats are hitting, with Ryan Howard being among them, which is a pleasent surprise. Guess coming to Clearwater trimmer this spring was what he needed to do.
Yeah, the bullpen has blown a couple of early games, but no one expected the bullpen to be as good as it was last year. The problems are the starters are giving up too many runs early in games, thus forcing the bats to constantly play catch up and giving up too many gopher balls, especially with men on base. I'm sure that once they stop doing both, things will improve.
Of course, I do not plan to press the panic button, yet, since this team seems to catch its stride in August-September, when things really count.

Armenia Country Overview
The Republic of Armenia has an executive branch that includes a president and a prime minister and a legislative branch composed of a National Assembly or Parliament. Members of Parliament are elected for four-year terms. The judicial branch includes a Supreme Court system as well as regional and city courts.
Peace Corps/Armenia is currently collaborating with the Ministries of Higher Education and Science, Trade and Economic Development, Health, Nature Protection, and Foreign Affairs.
In 2004 the per capita Gross National Income in Armenia was $1,120 and the purchasing power parity was $4,270. For comparison the per capita Gross National Income in USA was $41,400. The Armenian economy is based on the Armenian Dram. One U.S. dollar is equal to approximately 400 drams.
The country's chief crops are grains, vegetables, and fruits. Livestock production includes sheep, goats, chickens, pigs, and cattle. Armenia is rich in precious and semiprecious metals and minerals, but it has no significant oil reserves. Its natural resources include copper, zinc, aluminum, and molybdenum.
Progress has been made in harnessing the Hrazdan River for hydroelectric power. A Soviet-era nuclear plant (not of the Chernobyl design) meets all of Armenia's power requirements, and Armenia exports some electricity to neighboring countries.
The major industries are mechanical engineering, mining, chemicals, textiles, and building materials. Current exports include cut gems, jewelry, scrap metal, copper, molybdenum, textiles, cognac, fresh fruits, processed agricultural products, and some machinery. Most of the large factories that supplied the Soviet Union are closed, with little hope for revival.
Although the transportation infrastructure in Armenia is adequate, the entire country is currently under a limited blockade (borders with Turkey and Azerbaijan are closed), which disrupts much of the former import-export system. Businesses use alternative routes, and access to consumer goods in the capital is excellent.
Several economic sectors show promise as replacements for the former heavy industry in Armenia. Tourism has great potential. Armenia has incredible ancient ruins, fortresses, churches, and monasteries; Neolithic sites; and fascinating places such as the "Armenian Stonehenge." The country's performing arts, including a ballet and a symphony, are highly developed. Its cuisine is an eclectic mix of European and Middle Eastern tastes, and it produces wool carpets, gold jewelry, and other items attractive to tourists.
Armenia produces high-quality wines and excellent fruits, including apricots, cherries, apples, and berries. In the past few years, fruit juices, cheeses, and wines have been developed for export markets. While the rate of export remains small, it is increasing as consumers begin to recognize the quality of these products.
Information technology is also a potential growth area; since Soviet times the country has been a computer science center.
People and Culture
Census records indicate that there are more than 3 million people in Armenia, but given the high rates of emigration to Russia, Europe, and the United States, the actual population is probably much smaller. The capital city of Yerevan has a population of 1.4 million. The largest cities are Gyumri, Vanadzor, and Abovian.
The country's ethnic composition is 95.9 percent Armenian, 1.7 percent Kurdish (including Yezdis), 1.6 percent Russian, 0.3 percent Ukrainian, 0.2 percent Assyrian, 0.1 percent Greek, and 0.2 percent "other." Several Armenian enclaves exist in neighboring countries, the most important of which is Nagorno-Karabakh (also referred to as "Artsakh") in Azerbaijan, whose population is 90 percent Armenian. The official language is Armenian, although many people also speak Russian. The majority of the population is Armenian Apostolic Christian.
Armenia has a strong musical tradition. Many children take music lessons or attend music schools. If you have a small, portable musical instrument, we recommend that you bring it with you; and if you read piano music, you may have opportunities to practice. Traditional Armenian instruments include the doudouk, a wooden flute; the dehol, a drum held under the arm; the kemancha, a stringed instrument played with a bow; and the zourna, another type of flute.
Armenians are extremely hospitable and welcoming to Americans. They are also strong and determined as they struggle to recover from the collapse of the Soviet Union and a dramatic drop in their standard of living, the war with Azerbaijan, and the disastrous 1988 earthquake.
The historical area known as Greater Armenia covers more than 260,000 square kilometers (104,000 square miles). The Republic of Armenia today constitutes only about 10 percent of that area, or 29,800 square kilometers (11,920 square miles). Slightly larger than Maryland, Armenia is the smallest of the former Soviet republics. Despite its small size, Armenia's highland location at the junction of various biogeographical regions has produced a variety of landscapes: semidesert, steppe, forest, alpine meadow, and high-altitude tundra.

Time for an overhaulNovember 04,2013
Time for an overhaul
I am writing in regards the state law mandating the inspection of motor vehicles licensed and operated in Vermont. In short, I feel this law is ineffectual and damaging.
First, I have observed a significant measure of subjectivity and ambiguity with regards inspection parameters from one licensed inspector to another. My conclusion, having read the document from which licensed state inspectors are directed to make their assessments, is disbelief that any vehicle, excepting a car with little to no wear, is able to pass a Vermont state inspection at all. Thus, perhaps it is, in part, the overly comprehensive nature of the law which causes inspectors to vary as to the consistency with which certain findings pursuant to the inspection process are either overlooked or enforced.
Second, and more grievous, is the fact that a law exists which mandates a consumer annually take any personal possession to a service provider and compulsorily purchase any and all services the provider deems necessary to continue legally using said personal possession in the state of Vermont. Is this not state-sanctioned extortion? Should not the inspector be an independent third party with no vested interest in the results of the mandated inspection?
I believe the Vermont state automobile inspection process, handled correctly, could be of great benefit to both automobile owners and the communities in which we drive. I do not believe the current law serves that purpose. I encourage fellow citizens to engage their state representatives and demand an overhaul of this law.

- Abstract
- We perform a joint likelihood analysis of the power spectra of the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) and the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies under the assumptions that the initial fluctuations were adiabatic, Gaussian and well described by power laws with scalar and tensor indices of ns and nt. On its own, the 2dFGRS sets tight limits on the parameter combination Ωmh, but relatively weak limits on the fraction of the cosmic matter density in baryons Ωb/Ωm. (Here h is Hubble's constant H0 in units of 100 km s-1 Mpc-1. The cosmic densities in baryons, cold dark matter and vacuum energy are denoted by Ωb, Ωc and ΩΛ, respectively. The total matter density is Ωm = Ωb + Ωc and the curvature is fixed by Ωk = 1 - Ωm - ΩΛ.) The CMB anisotropy data alone set poor constraints on the cosmological constant and Hubble constant because of a 'geometrical degeneracy' among parameters. Furthermore, if tensor modes are allowed, the CMB data allow a wide range of values for the physical densities in baryons and cold dark matter (ωb = Ωbh2 and ωc = Ωch2). Combining the CMB and 2dFGRS data sets helps to break both the geometrical and tensor mode degeneracies. The values of the parameters derived here are consistent with the predictions of the simplest models of inflation, with the baryon density derived from primordial nucleosynthesis and with direct measurements of the Hubble parameter. In particular, we find strong evidence for a positive cosmological constant with a ±2σ range of 0.65 < ΩΛ < 0.85, independently of constraints on ΩΛ derived from Type Ia supernovae.

Split/Second ReviewBy Sterling McGarvey - Posted May 17, 2010
Set in a fake reality TV show, arcade-style racing title Split/Second offers plenty of thrills and big explosions. It has some stumbles, but overall, it's a great high-octane thrill ride.
The Pros
- A gleefully competitive and fun action racer
- Presentation ripped straight from a primetime ABC show
- Great-looking stages designed with tension around every corner
The Cons
- Cheap rubberband AI renders your skills impotent
- Stage recycling becomes more noticeable the longer you play
- Certain side games aren't as strong as core racing
Black Rock Studio's Split/Second comes at a curious time for racing games. Forza Motorsport 3 is still holding down the fort for simulation. Need for Speed: Shift marked a return to form for the ailing series. Two more racing games, ModNation Racers and Blur, both come out at the same time as Split/Second and offer different variations on kart racing. Amidst these other games, S/S fills the niche for arcade-based racers nicely. It's not the best game to come along in the genre, but it'll satisfy your jones for destructively competitive racing for now.
All This…On the Next Split/Second!
S/S' plot offers a unique take on racing games. Unlike so many titles that weave a loose narrative around racing tournaments, S/S' barebones story is warmly enveloped within a credible scenario. You're participating in a reality show in which you're driving around a massive studio set racing against the clock, wannabe participants, and at the end of each "episode," a variety of elite drivers with American Gladiator-like handles such as "The Hammer" and "Vixen." Credible, you say? It sounds a bit off until you fire up a new episode and the announcer previews the events you'll endure. It hits home even more during the end credits, which feel authentic to the point that you'd imagine watching "Split/Second: The Show" on Disney-owned ABC. I found the season finale to be a bit sour in its ending -- it telegraphs a sequel with all the predictability of a Von Kaiser punch -- but others in the office loved it. Go figure.
Aside from S/S' presentation hook, the gameplay is designed around using explosive elements on the set to stop your opponents from getting an edge on you. That usually consists of triggering an explosion that collapses a structure onto their car. In that sense, it's tactically different from the likes of the Burnout series, since there's less physicality involved in downing your adversaries. S/S rewards you more for tactical maneuvers and less for brutish bullying on the course. Aggressive techniques, like trying to smash others into guardrails, aren't nearly as effective as letting your opponent squeeze ahead, then triggering a massive explosion that takes him or her out of the race.
The charm of S/S' reality show approach wouldn't have nearly the impact it does without amazing visuals. Although I could've done with a few better visual indicators of impending danger on a few stages, Black Rock's approach to crafting a well-designed hazard trap is quite commendable. The stages feel lively, tense, and diverse in theme, from Hoover Dam-like reservoirs to airports full of corridors, hairpin turns, and impending peril. And they look great. Like the studio's previous effort, 2008's sleeper hit PURE, S/S is clean-looking and aesthetically pleasant.
Throughout S/S' episodes, you face challenges beyond vanilla racing in the quest to crack into the Elite races that mark the end of each stage. It's here that S/S wavers a bit in quality. Air Strike, in which a chopper fires one-hit-kill missiles at your car while you swerve to avoid them, is frustrating, and while I adjusted to its quirks over a few episodes, I still gritted my teeth every time a challenge came up. Elimination, which resembles the same mode in Burnout Revenge, doesn't execute as well as Criterion's game. That's partly because S/S' deepest core issue -- rubberband AI -- gives you myriad chances to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Rubberbands Make You Snap
Driver AI is truly the monolithic stumble that separates S/S from hitting the standards set by other genre staples. As I discovered over the dozen hours I invested in races, upgrades, and grinding for more win points to unlock better cars, it's a spectacular game that's ultimately handicapped by cheap AI and some harsh difficulties. Few things serve to undermine the player experience more than the methods by which S/S punishes you for small mistakes, like wrecking on a sharp drift that other games would permit or blowing a 3 second lead in first place at the finish line because of your drift. It's amazingly easy to go from the lead to seventh in, well, a split second, regardless of your skill level and quality of vehicle. The AI just doesn't feel well-tweaked enough, and you'll experience some legitimately aggravating moments throughout.
Yet for the frustrations, S/S is at its most effective when you're in the heat of a race and avoid its numerous death traps. Though I'd like to have seen more variety in stages -- just past the halfway point, the luster starts to fade a bit when you're in the same race type on the same stage you did at the game's start and it could've used more of the dramatically destructive "alternate routes" -- there's a real charm to the proceedings. Aside from the ABC/Disney analogy regarding presentation, there are many harrowing hazard moments that evoke the sort of narrow-miss scares you'd see on a Disneyland thrill ride. It's in those small sections that S/S hits the peak of its potential.
S/S offers online multiplayer for up to 8 players. It's fairly standard stuff, in the sense that you'll have the same race types offered up for competitive play. Without the trappings of cheap AI, racing is even more tense and cutthroat against other players. There are some caveats, though. If you spin out (rare as it was for me), it's hard to turn around and get back on track, which others in the office reported. Also, for some reason, online car selection restricts you to what you've unlocked in single player, so until you've done your grinding to acquire cars, you'll be at a handicap against other racers. Generally, though, it performed well, and there's incentive to play and win, since your racing rank and number function both online and in the single-player season.
I Hope It Gets Renewed for Another Season
There's no shortage of fresh racing titles on the market right now. From last fall's sims to this spring's kart racers, there's something to play. Split/Second falls short of the heights set by the Burnout series, but as viciously competitive arcade racers go, it's a fun and entertaining diversion. Since the finale shows no compunction about offering up a sequel, I'm excited for a new installment that builds on this strong foundation. From the excellent TV-driven presentation to its passive-aggressive approach to crippling your opponents, it's an exciting thrill ride that's worth your time investment.

I'M #8 and what do I do? …what I do everyday, aspire to take over the worldReplyCancel
Narf! Beautiful lady, Danielle!ReplyCancel
Awe LoMo. Sorry about the gun picture. It was my very first time shooting a gun but it was at a shooting range. So it was a safe environment and not some willy nilly thing. I even had to go through a brief 30 minute seminar before they'd let me into the gallery since it was my first time.
I don't promote violence but I wanted to know how to shoot a gun. I'll never own one but I don't think there is any harm in knowing how to shoot in a safe environment.
I did own a bow & arrow as a kid but I've only ever shot at targets. I would never ever use it to harm a living animal or person.

Sour Grapes
It has been well documented, by myself, that Nate McLouth is a scum bag.
Harsh words? Maybe he always came off as a nice guy in Pittsburgh, but since his trade last June he has done nothing but trash the team I love.
It hurts to hear one of my favorite players of the last few years go off like that and I agree he does have a point.
Jason Bay too was traded somewhat unexpectedly, he still raves about his playing days in Pittsburgh. I just cannot respect a guy (McLouth) who does not respect the team that brought him up.
I am bringing this up again because ironically enough the Braves faced the Pirates today. McLouth would not only go up against his former team, but bat against the man he was traded for, pitcher Charlie Morton.
McLouth wasted no time sending a message. He lit up the scoreboard with a solo homerun to lead off the ball game. The Buccos got the last laugh when they won 7-6 over the Braves.
The win was surely welcomed for a ball club who has lost seven of their last ten. The 'W' puts the Pirates at 6-12-1 for the spring training tilt.
With just a mere ten days before Opening Day at beautiful PNC Park, there is something just a little more important along the way. The SWEET 16.
Tonight West Virginia and Washington do battle at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, NY. The third round of NCAA tournament action tips off. The scene around Morgantown today and all throughout the month of March has been one of anticipation. We want it! A National Championship that is.
The Huskies and Mountaineers are a good matchup in that UDUB instills a run and gun offense while WVU plays lockdown defense. It is an 11th seed (wash.) vs. a 2nd seed (WVU). Many pundits across the country are picking the Huskies for the upset. In fact and ESPN.com poll says 32% are labeling this as the upset of the night.
I respectively disagree.
West Virginia will be without starting point guard Darryl 'Truck' Bryant, but that is okay. He has a foot injury and has not been playing his best in the postseason. Joe Mazzulla will step in nicely. He has starting experience and may play the best defense on the team. Mazzulla also has a unique tie-in with the Pirates. He was arrested in PNC Park two summers ago for dissorderly conduct. Not the brightest move and I cannot really stand up for him here but it has shadowed his illustrious Mountaineer career.
I hope those of you following the tournament get to tune into this game tonigth at 7:30 on CBS. I hope your brackets are still in tact and that you picked West Virginia to go far. I surely did. Tonight will prove to the country that WVU is for real and that we really will make noise on our way to the Championship game.

I don't know what McClouth said, but if he trashed the Pirates that's not classy at all. Booooo.
Yeah i agree with Jane, no trash talk allowed! I want Duke to win.
That is the worst feeling when a player trashes the team that brought him up and got traded by. I saw a game where CC Sabathia was attending and he said publicly that he was trying to recruit Lebron to go to NY. I don't know if he was kidding, but it's tough when CC was groomed by us and now seriously/kidding about Lebron. Oh well maybe one of these days Cleveland can win a championship. http://clevelandbaseball.mlblogs.com/
Just goes to show the difference between the classy and the classless. I see WVU did indeed win last night – congrats!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
What did Nate say about the Buccs? Do I need to burn my McClouth jersey? lol.
West Virginia looks pretty darn good! Good luck in the Elite 8 against Kentucky.
love the picture and the titled! Sad to hear this about McClouth, just classless.
Congrats on WVU!
April th is just around the corner! I'll be at work following the game on the internet.
Nice read. On McLouth…unfortunately. you have to deal with a few rotten apples in MLB. Take a look at Houston for example, we have Hunter Pence who is everything you would want from a player and a human being. THEN, we have Carlos Lee.
Dogging the team that drafted you is pretty beat. You're right…JayBay has done nothing but take the high road. It's just a matter of class.
well maybe nate may want to hit better than .129 (3 for 34) before taking shots at the bucs. Hes making them look good for getting rid of him if he continues to stink it up.

The Application
Step 1: The Application The first step toward becoming a Peace Corps Volunteer is to complete an application. This is an important step, so give yourself some time to work on it. The best way to apply is to complete and submit an application through the Peace Corps Website.
Whether you apply online or by mail, the process is basically the same. You'll be asked to submit the following:
- A completed Volunteer application form
- A completed Health Status Review form
- A copy of your college transcripts (an unofficial copy is okay)
- A copy of your resume
- The names of three people who will serve as your references
What's in the application? Well, there are the usual questions about your education, your work and volunteer experience, your interests and hobbies, and so on. There are also a few essay questions to give you a chance to tell us why you want to join the Peace Corps and what you're expecting to get out of the experience. The second part of the application, the Health Status Review, is designed to help us understand your medical situation so we can determine what countries and regions will allow you the best access to the health care you need.
Set aside some time to work on your application, answer everything completely and honestly, and you'll get through it fine—we promise! Remember, you can always come back to the website or call your recruiter if you run into any questions.
After your application is submitted, a few things will happen:
- If there's anything missing from your application, your recruiter will contact you to ask you for clarification or further information.
- Your recruiter will send you forms for each of your references to complete and mail back to the Peace Corps. You'll need to follow up with your references to make sure they complete the forms.
- You'll receive a letter in the mail with instructions for how to access My Toolkit, our online portal for current applicants. Through * My Toolkit, you'll be able to monitor the status of your application, keep your address up to date, and be sure to send in any additional requested information. (Many people report their on-line Toolkit updating some time after their interview).

The most captivating way I know to embrace nature and immerse yourself in another reality is to slip into a river or to jump in a boat and go fishin'. Just going fishing is its own reward.
Now some of us get the fishing bug more seriously than others. For some, the occasional toss of a bobber or chucking a plug a couple of times is quite enough fun. (An occasional fish or two doesn't hurt either.) At the other extreme, are those whose life is focused and centered on fishing, when a day without fishing is downright painful, when, if you can't get on the water, you reread "Land of Little Rivers" or "Old Man and the Sea" for the umpteenth time. Anyone so afflicted looks forward to one event every so often that will forever remain etched in memory. It could be finally getting your first salmon, or your first big trout. Who would ever forget a fine trout taken on bamboo on a beautiful spring day on the Beaverkill? Sometimes it's the first fish for a student, child or grandchild of yours, or maybe a fishing expedition somewhere that works out just as hoped and planned.
This season I had a wonderful memory moment while fishing the Lackawaxen River nearby my home across the Roebling Aqueduct at the Delaware River.
I fly fish this river often. It offers many named holes and runs to choose from.
Naturally, I have a favorite spot, and of course, in keeping with fishing custom and tradition, I am not going to name it here. We never want to talk about our secret spot as it may quickly become invaded by a horde of one or two other fishermen. I have fished my favorite spot a dozen or more times every year for the past 20 years. I seek the river after the travails of the day. Sometimes in June, I don't get to the river until late, but I always stay at least a half hour after dark.
Dark is the time of big brown trout. The old timers say "When you're stoppin' fishing is when you should just be startin". So I do quite a bit of fishing in the dark, casting to faint movements and sounds with a White Wulff. As I shuffle around the pool in the dark, I have come to know the underwater terrain about as well as I know my own garden. Or at least, so I thought.
Recently, my son Josh and granddaughter Emma came up from Florida for a short visit. I had been away on the Salmon River, messin' with King Salmon. When I got home, Josh had already honed in on the Lackawaxen and had taken some nice Browns and Rainbows. Off we go to my favorite hole, and eagle-eye Josh spots a riser and then another in a small braid of water on the other side, vastly out of range of all but a Joan Wulff or Steve Rajeff.
Josh very slowly and deliberately wades in and picks his way along the slippery bottom. He goes far beyond where I or anyone else ventures and comes upon a submerged rock cluster, which he very carefully clambered atop. In all those years, I never knew such a perch existed. From my vantage on the near shore, I could see the two trout rising regularly but certainly out of range. Josh stripped out more than half of his fly line, made a few calculations and false casts and settled his dry fly about two feet above the riser. When the fly drifted down in the bubble line, the trout sipped it in. It was a Brookie, usually a rarity on the Lackawaxen. After releasing the trout, he again focused on the other riser even further upstream.
I watched his beautiful tight loops extend further and further up the center of the river, and then he directed his final cast at the left slipstream off a rock 70 feet away. The fly settled like a piece of down and the trout took. It was a lovely 17-inch Brookie. I had just witnessed a sublime form of perfection, and my season was made. The student exceeded the mentor, and I was filled with joy. Normally, I would have scanned the lower pool for risers. Instead, I stood awhile, washed in the moment, and just smiled.
[Editor's note: Andy Boyar's regular fishing column, The Complete Tangler, appears in The River Reporter on the second and fourth Thursdays of every month during fishing season and during the off-season on the fourth Thursday of every month.]

About SportLegs
|If you're an aggressive skier or boarder, you dread the "burn" and next-day soreness. And it's not your imagination: They really do get worse with each passing year. Unless you take SportLegs pre-sports vitamins an hour ahead. You can enjoy your sport again with the legs you took for granted ten or fifteen years ago, yet with even less next-day soreness. They really work: SKI magazine testers wrote, "You could down a couple of beers or ibuprofen to relieve the pain. But if you'd like to give your liver- as well as your muscles- a break, consider SportLegs. They prevent your muscles from producing more lactic acid than you can burn off. You can push yourself harder, remarkably free of pain." Winter Park, Colorado ski shop owner Wendy Christensen reported, "Leg 'burn' has kept me from skiing the last couple of years. And it bothers a lot of our customers. After a couple of days, they bring back their rental gear. They say, 'I have to take a day off. I'm just too sore to go.' I tried the SportLegs, and it was amazing. It was like night and day. It gave me back the feeling I could go ski anytime, anywhere, with anybody, and not worry about the leg ache. And I wasn't sore either, afterwards. I'm sold. it's definitely been one of the best things I've come across. To find a product like this, and be able to stand behind it, and know that it really works, is a real plus." So get your own SportLegs this season. Or you'll be another year older when you do.

Release # 96-036
WASHINGTON, D.C. - CPSC, Charpente Division of Michel & Co., of Culver City, Calif., is voluntarily recalling about 12,000 Classic Winnie the Pooh pull toys. Children can choke on the small wooden ball at the end of the toy's pull cord, or strangle on the toy's pull cord. The five styles of wooden pull toys each feature Winnie the Pooh characters on a wooden cart. The carts' wheels are either natural wood with wooden pegs, or natural wood with pale blue pegs. Each cart has a pull cord at least 12" long, with a wooden ball at the end. A stamp on the bottom of each toy reads in part, "Classic POOH ... Charpente Designs... Based on the 'Winnie The Pooh' works..."The five styles involved in this recall are Pooh, number 65301, measuring 6.5" long by 4" wide by 11.5" tall; Eeyore, number 65302, measuring 6.5" by 4" by 8.5"; Pooh with Honey Pot and Piglet, number 65303, measuring approximately 7.5" by 4.5" by 9.5"; Pooh and Piglet in Wagon, number 65304, measuring 8.25" by 4.2" by 8"; and Christopher, Pooh and Gang, number 65305, measuring 9" by 4.2" by 8.5".The toys were imported from Taiwan and sold nationwide from early 1994 to the present in department stores, gift shops and upscale specialty shops.

Bedroom to Boudoir1 of 12
By Natasha Burton
During the busy holiday season, getting some alone time with your man is likely one of the last things on your mind. But rather than make a New Year's Resolution to have more sex, find out how you can turn your bedroom into a bona fide love nest tonight with these easy steps.
Smooth Moves2 of 12
If you do nothing else, change out your ratty old sheets for shiny new ones, advises Dana B. Meyers, founder of sexy lifestyle brand Booty Parlor. "Bedding that feels good against bare skin is so seductive," she says. If satin or silk seem a bit too, er, adult film, to you, Meyers recommends sheets made with cotton jersey, which she says is "an amazingly soft and totally affordable fabric."
SHOP NOW: Coyuchi Organic Cotton Jersey sheets, $185 (for queen)
Animal Instincts3 of 12
For a full-on sensory experience, invest in a faux fur throw. There are few things sexier than draping yourself in a faux fur blanket… and wearing nothing underneath.
SHOP NOW: Nordstrom at Home 'Branson' Faux Fur Blanket, $348
Mirror, Mirror4 of 12
One of the biggest love-life killers is having a TV in the bedroom (a famous Italian study found that it will cut your sex life in half!), and yet, as of 2010, 68 percent of people surveyed by the Gadget Census admitted they still habitually watch the tube in the boudoir. Swap out your flat screen for a decorative—and functional mirror. That way, you're not tempted to fall asleep to The Daily Show night after night after night.
SHOP NOW: Farmhouse Mirror, $180
Take Charge5 of 12
The TV isn't the only culprit messing up your mojo: Spending too much time on your smartphone while in bed can keep you from getting it on. To put some distance between you and your phone, keep electronics in their place with a charging station. (Set it somewhere other than your nightstand so you can't easily reach for it from your bed.)
SHOP NOW: Simply Put Charging Station, $82
Listen Up6 of 12
OK, so there is one electronic item you should have in your bedroom: a music player. According to a survey conducted by Spotify, most people say that sexy sounds turn them on more then touch. Since many of us use our smartphones as music-playing devices, invest in a wireless speaker—that way you can still leave your phone charging out of site, a la tip number two, while also using it to play some sexy tunes.
SHOP NOW: Wireless Speaker, $200
Play It Again7 of 12
According to the Spotify survey, the top two sexiest albums are the Dirty Dancing soundtrack and Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing." Try these out, or find your own sexy tunes.
SHOP NOW: Dirty Dancing Soundtrack, $7; Best of Marvin Gaye CD, $14
Hide & Seek8 of 12
Meyers suggests moving anything that's not sleep- or sex-related—exercise equipment, kids' toys, work papers—out of your bedroom. "They're reminders of things you need to do and will distract you from sexy thoughts," she says. To keep messes to a minimum, use a catchall container for all those odds and ends that tend to make their way into your bedroom. This collapsible option is great for anything you want to hide quickly, so you can easily clear the bedroom in a pinch.
SHOP NOW: Collapsible Wire Basket, $40
Picture This9 of 12
Meyers suggests removing any kid or in-law photos from your bedroom and putting them in the den or playroom instead. ("You don't need them watching!" she says.) Cover empty wall space with artwork that's colorful enough to be interesting but not so loud that it diverts your attention.
SHOP NOW: Seascape with Lime by Linda Donohue, $145
Mood Lighting10 of 12
Lighting really is everything when you're transforming your bedroom into a sexy space. Meyers suggests setting the mood however fits your style: with a frilly, bordello-inspired bedside lamp, a string of tiny white lights along your curtains, a twinkly chandelier… and of course, by having some candles handy! A wall-mounted candleholder is a great option if you don't have wide nightstands—or if you're worried about knocking flames to the floor in the heat of passion.
SHOP NOW: Mirrored Candle Sconce, $65
Think Pink11 of 12
For investment-free mood lighting, simply change out your regular bulbs to pink ones, which experts say are more flattering.
SHOP NOW: Incandescent light bulbs, $6 (for two)
Getting Intimate12 of 12
To complete your bedroom transformation, get yourself a new sexy accessory. "Whatever you choose to spice things up, whether it's a piece of lingerie, a toy or a sexy movie, make a show of it by displaying it with pride," Meyers says. Stuck in the habit of wearing an old tee and boxers to bed every night? Invest in simple, classic lingerie sets that will make you want to ditch those grungy PJs for good.
SHOP NOW: Cosabella bra, $48; thong, $20

I'm feeling very spacey and a little nauseous. I'm trying to distract myself but am not being very successful so far.
I've sold exactly 100 books on amazon. It feels good. There's something about a round number that is satisfying. I find I have a tiny obsession about round numbers. For example, if I'm entering books into the amazon store I don't feel comfortable stopping unless I stop on a round number. I have 327 books in the store and find myself saying I'll stop entering books once I have 400. That would be fine and I might believe myself except I said that at 100 books, 200, etc... Back in the days of running I wouldn't be able to stop unless it was a round number.
I have some new favorite things to do now. I love finding new music in itunes, I love getting a new box of books to go through. It's great to look through books I might otherwise not have even glanced at. I love taking pictures of flowers. I love color and there is something about the colors of flowers that is fun to capture on film. I love glancing up and seeing a hummingbird.
Hummingbirds have a special meaning for me. My mom loved hummingbirds. Two Christmases before my mom died I decided to make stained glass for everyone. I decided to make stained glass image of a hummingbird. It was getting close to Christmas and I was running out of time. When I was in the middle of making my mom's stained glass a piece near the hummingbird's breast broke off. I didn't have the right shape of the same color of glass to fit the broken piece but I did have a beautiful red piece of glass that would fit so I put the piece of red glass in place of the broken piece. The stained glass hummingbird ended up having a red breast. It ended up looking fine and my mom loved it.
Two years later when she was sick I remember wanting to ask her if it would be alright if she sent me a message after she died letting me know she was okay and that there was a world beyond this one. I never gave voice to my wish but thought about it a lot. Whenever I thought about it I would think about a hummingbird or some sort of bird. Things happened so fast and she died 44 days after being diagnosed so I never even got a chance to express this to her.
A few days after she died I was sitting on their front porch talking to a friend. I remember it being so hot. I was sitting in a chair and glanced up. About 18 inches in front of me was a beautiful hummingbird with a red breast. It hovered for what seemed like a long time though I'm sure it was only seconds. I froze and then started crying. I had never seen a red breasted hummingbird before. This has happened several times over the years.
In certain shamanic cultures the hummingbird symbolizes the connection between this world and the divine. It is also a symbol of accomplishing something that seems impossible. It is also a symbol of resurrection.
