Shumpert would love to be in this right!
His defense is so key, he'll be our 4th Superstar soon.
Jeremy needs to stop picking up his dribble and stick that off arm out there to keep those reaches away from the ball. It doesn't help that the Heat are holding him as Mike Dant said after the first quarter.
Shumpert would love to be in this right!
His defense is so key, he'll be our 4th Superstar soon.
This is the first time Lin is playing against a proper defence. His handling skills aren't up for that yet. He's been alright on defence though. Stoudamire wants this. Anthony's buying into the idea as well. Davis needs to play more in the second half.
we could def. use shumpert.. he would own chalmers
The Lin bandwagon just hit a brick wall. Like Tebow against New England. Interception City
Wake up Lin! Let's go Knicks!
Don't sleep on Lin. The kid is smart and I'm not spurting hyperbole.
The guy will be in the lockerroom watching the video, figuring out how he can exploit the Heat.
Mark my words, Lin is going off in the 2nd.
Funny tidbit

Go to the ASM Web Pageand click on the Topic Map at the top of your computer screen. A pulldown menu will appear, allowing you to pick topics from the following list: All Topics, Biodefense, Clinical Microbiology, Postdoc Fellows, and Student Programs.

New from ASM Press: Cumitech 42
ASM Science
Cumitech 42: Infections in Hemopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients (Coordinating Editor: Allan L. Truant), focuses on infectious complications frequently encountered in hemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients. Guidelines for preventing opportunistic infections among HSCT recipients by the CDC, IDSA, and the American Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation provide a solid foundation for this review. Infections are broken down into four main categories, including bacterial, viral, mycotic, and parasitic infections, and focus on those agents that occur at an increased rate among HSCT recipients in comparison to the general population.
New Academy Reports
Microbial Triggers of Chronic Human Illness
A new report, "Microbial Triggers of Chronic Human Illness" released by the American Academy of Microbiology, details how the increasing aging populations in the United States and throughout the developed world appear to correlate with a switch from acute infectious diseases to chronic diseases, as the major cause of morbidity and mortality. The report also recommends new criteria be developed for evaluating the strength of association between microbes and chronic illness.
Preharvest Food Safety and Security
The recently released American Academy of Microbiology report, "Preharvest Food Safety and Security," points out that recent outbreaks of a number of foodborne illnesses have been linked to contamination occurring in the preharvest stage of food processing. Recommendations are made for creating an accessible international database of genetic sequences for known foodborne pathogens along with new and improved tools for detecting and cataloging pathogens on the farm.
From Outside to Inside: Environmental Microorganisms as Human Pathogens
"From Outside to Inside: Environmental Microorganisms as Human Pathogens," a new report released by the American Academy of Microbiology, points out the issue that while many infectious diseases are caused by human-to-human transmission, others are caused by microorganisms that exist in the outside environment. The difference between the two is the ability for environmental pathogens to survive and thrive outside the host. The report recommends that scientists from different fields work together to address the challenges presented by these environmental pathogens.

Light May Rapidly and Painlessly Kill Bacteria That Cause Gum Disease
Exposure to broadband light may provide a rapid and painless method for killing the bacteria that cause plaque and periodontal disease, say researchers from Texas and Massachusetts.

The Refugio County Commissioners Court came to the consensus at a workshop on Friday morning, April 5.
Commissioners also learned what the county's jurisdiction was: what it could do and what it could not do.
County Judge Rene Mascorro said the county does not have the authority to prohibit establishments that are game rooms or amusement centers.
However, he noted that the establishments are legal businesses the county can set regulations and fees to abide by.
He added that the county has no zoning, so it cannot require the businesses to be in certain locations.
Mascorro suggested that the county set fees in line with the cities's fees. All would have to agree on the same fee per eight-liner.
Currently, Woodsboro is amending its ordinance to set the fee at $1,000 per eight-liner.
The city of Refugio has set the fee at $500 per machine.
Bayside and Austwell have no ordinances that set fees for the machines. The cities also do not have game rooms.
However, Bayside Mayor Ken Dahl said his town may consider such an ordinance and adopt the uniform fee.
Mayor Rey Jaso said he would present the idea of a uniform fee to the Refugio City Council.
Mayor George Hernandez of Woodsboro also agreed to a uniform fee.
"That way, no community is given the advantage," Hernandez said.
Commissioners Ann Lopez, Stanley Tuttle, Gary Bourland and Rodrigo Bernal all agreed the uniform fee was a good idea.
Also, all elected officials at the workshop agreed that eight-liners are a law enforcement problem if the law is being broken.
Refugio County Sheriff Robert Bolcik said he sent a letter to all the game rooms, notifying them that they have 30 days to comply with the law.
"After 30 days, we will be actively investigating," he said.
Bolcik said he wanted to respect Refugio's and Woodsboro's police departments. He said if the cities need help from the sheriff's office, he would be glad to provide it. Otherwise, he would take care of those establishments outside city limits.
Bolcik also said he was reviewing his employee policy manual.
Refugio Police Chief Andy Lopez Jr. noted that he had revised his policy manual and has implemented the changes for a couple of months.
"Any kind of conduct that reflects negatively is detrimental to the city and is not allowed," he said.
He said his department's officers should set a good example by not participating in any kind of gambling.
"The main word here is 'legal,'" said Commissioner Bourland.
"If they step out of bounds, then they need to be squashed," Bourland added.

The Bird Flu Diaries
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2006
The nightmare has become a reality. Bird flu has come to Britain and the clock is ticking for the survival of its population.
However, as always in a crisis, Mr Blair has a media-friendly solution to boost the morale of his doubting public he'll stage a contest! And the prize? A space in his nuclear bunker, a bird flu-free zone, sure to provide a dream sanctuary for the winning entrant.
All the great British public must do to win this coveted prize is submit a video diary, stating their case for the space.
, Sarah Solemani
Original Review:
The Bird Flu Diaries is based on the convoluted but almost plausible premise that bird flu has mutated and hit the UK, and there's one spot left in Tony Blair's bunker. To decide who gets it, members of the public have to make their own video diary detailing why it should be them.
The show dips in and out of the lives of three pairs of people: the gothic death-worshippers, the student roommates, and the hippy girls. It's all tied together by a wonderful news anchor pastiche, that stylistically has echoes of Chris Morris' s The Day Today, but is a little more silly.
The sketches vary, with some working better than others. The two roommates are particularly strong, especially with the marvelous bile-filled rants about Jamie Oliver and other media figures. The Goths provide a more surreal humour, which doesn't work as well but gets some great laughs.
Not every sketch is great, and the fairly limited pool of characters can lead to repetition and predictability. A video screen is used to great effect, showing the diary submissions and the news segments.
The real genius of the show comes in how the sketches all dovetail together at the end. We get hint,s references, and callbacks throughout the show reminding us that these events are all happening in the same fictional universe, but it's not until the end you realise the true structural brilliance of the intertwined stories. It's the quality of the show as a whole, rather than simply the sum of its individual sketches, that sets this apart from similar work.

In terms of the hardware Samsung has packed within the sturdy body, we're looking at a 4.5-inch display with a lowly resolution of 480 x 800, a 1.2GHz, quad-core Snapdragon processor with support for LTE and 1.5GB of RAM. The company has also included a 5-megapixel/2-megapixel camera combo, 8 gigs of microSD-expandable storage, and a 2,200 mAh battery pack.+ View Specs

BlackBerry LeapCompareThe BlackBerry Leap sports the fairly quaint Snapdragon S4 Plus system chip with 2GB of RAM and 16 gigs of internal storage. It's the battery life that the company touts as one of the hallmark features of the new phone, though, as it has a 2800 mAh battery pack. With all the sleek newly unveiled devices, though, the Leap strikes an impression of being quite thick with 9.5mm of thickness and a weight of 170g. There is both a rear and front-facing camera: the rear, main one, has an 8-megapixel sensor.+ View Specs

Gionee Elife S7CompareThe Elife S7 is 5.55 mm (0.22"), which is apparently Gionee's threshold when it comes to thickness now. We are still getting a master of a phone, though, with a 5.2" 1080p AMOLED display, a 64-bit octa-core MediaTek 6752 chipset, 2 GB of RAM, and 16 GB of internal storage. Moreover, Gionee placed a 13 MP rear camera in the Elife S+ View Specs

The device is powered by a 2 GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6592 SoC with LTE connectivity, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of on-board storage and microSD on board.

The Lumia 640 has all the options you'd expect from an affordable phone: more specifically, it arrives in a single- and dual-SIM versions with both a 3G model and 4G LTE version of the handset, including a dual-SIM LTE device. The handset comes in a range of colors including cyan, orange, black and white. It's also got an 8-megapixel camera with dynamic flash and auto HDR, as well as a front-facing camera with wide-angle lens. It is pre-loaded with the latest Lumia camera app update.+ View Specs

Lenovo VIBE ShotCompareThe Lenovo Vibe Shot is amazingly stylish, highly affordable, and, from the looks of it, truly capable camera-centric Android phone. If a 16 MP BSI sensor with optical image stabilization, tricolor LED flash, and six-element lens with sapphire coating doesn't make a camera-oriented handset, we don't know what does, but the kicker is that Lenovo managed to stuff all that jazz in a premium 7.3mm thin chassis that is built of aluminum, with Gorilla Glass 3 front and rear surface. Kudos to Lenovo for pulling the style off, but that's not all -the Vibe Shot is equipped with a fine 5" 1080p display that offers 400+ ppi density, a 64-bit Snapdragon 615 chipset that is just a step below Qualcomm's finest, 3 GB of RAM, and the generous 32 GB of storage to save all the media you are going to create with the phone, plus a microSD slot if you need more space.+ View Specs

Your newly acquired pole-dancing move or other risque dance floor mating call ritual should probably be saved for your significant other or perhaps for just about anyone but your colleagues.
People are at the party to be in a social and non-threatening environment, not watch you work the floor like you're trying to pay the rent. You might think it is funny or cool, but co-workers and superiors from afar may have not received that particular memo. They might just write you off as unprofessional or inappropriate.
This goes for anything wild and freaky -- mosh-pit-type stuff and anything that might be seen as too fringe. Stick to low-key moves that will look very generic from a distance. It is OK to enjoy your time on the dance floor, just keep it in check.
No. 1: Get sloppy drunk
Employers occasionally keep their employees happy by throwing them a holiday party and figure it would look stingy if they did not provide some adult beverages as well.
After all, having alcohol at the holiday office party is probably as old a tradition as the office party itself. After all, isn't that what the holidays are all about: keeping up with tradition?
However, even though your employer might provide you with this once-per-year opportunity to drink like a champ, resist the urge to take them up on it. Do not allow yourself to get sloppy drunk -- complete with slurred speech, loss of balance, etc.
While to many, this may sound like a basic rule of thumb, a surprising amount of current stories still exist regarding employees abusing the free bar at the office party and living in infamy within their respective companies. Fun stories indeed; just don't let those stories be about you.

Projected 25-man roster for 2011
OK, the parade is over. The champagne has dried up. A while
Moresplashhits won't stop reliving the 2010 season – we'll be visiting some key
moments all through the offseason – it is time to start thinking about 2011.
So we must start someplace, so we'll start with a projected
2011 25-man roster, based on players that the Giants currently control through the 2011
season. This doesn't mean all these players will be back with the Giants in
2011. Some players who are arbitration eligible could be non-tendered by the
Giants. The deadline to tender players under reserve in 2011 is Dec. 2.
So here is our projection of the 2011 opening-day 25-man
roster (with players' 2011 salary; 2010 salaries are listed for reserved
players with 2011 contracts .. i.e. arbitration eligible players)
1B Pablo Sandoval ($465,000; pre-arbitration)
2B Freddy Sanchez ($6 million)
SS Emmanuel Burriss ($410,000; pre-arbitration)
3B Mark DeRosa ($6 million)
C Buster Posey ($400,000; pre-arbitration)
OF Cody Ross ($4.45
million; arbitration eligible)
OF Aaron Rowand ($12 million)
OF Andres Torres ($426,000; arbitration eligible)
1B Travis Ishikawa ($417,000; pre-arbitration)
IF Mike Fontenot ($1 million; arbitration eligible)
IF Ryan Rohlinger ($400,000; pre-arbitration)
OF Eugenio Velez ($416,000; pre-arbitration)
OF Nate Schierholtz ($417,000; pre-arbitration)
C Eli Whiteside ($405,000; pre-arbitration)
SP Tim Lincecum ($13 million)
SP Matt Cain ($7 million)
SP Barry Zito ($18.5 million)
SP Jonathan Sanchez ($2.1 million; arbitration eligible)
SP Madison Bumgarner ($400,000; pre-arbitration)
RH Brian Wilson ($6.5 million)
RH Sergio Romo ($417,000; pre-arbitration)
RH Santiago Casilla ($420,000; arbitration eligible)
LH Jeremy Affeldt ($4.5 million)
LH Javier Lopez ($775,000; arbitration eligible)
LH Dan Runzler ($401,000; pre-arbitration)
PROJECTED NON-TENDERS: RHP Chris Ray, RHP Ramon Ramirez
PROJECTED 40-MAN ROSTER MINOR LEAGUE OPTIONS: LHP Alex
Hinshaw, RHP Waldis Joaquin, RHP Henry Sosa, 3B Connor Gillaspie, 1B Brent
Pill, OF Darren Ford, OF Francisco Peguero
FREE AGENTS FROM 2010 ROSTER: 1B Aubrey Huff, SS Juan Uribe,
SS Edgar Renteria, OF Jose Guillen, OF Pat Burrell
CURRENT 2011 PAYROLL (not including pay raises for
arbitration, etc.): $87.219 million
WORTH NOTING: Our projected 25-man roster includes players
who are candidates to be non-tendered. Mike Fontenot is a prime candidate.
Also, Cody Ross. The Giants may decide that the potential of a $5-$6 million
contract for Ross through arbitration may be too much. So they could non-tender
him, then attempt to re-sign him as a free agent for a lesser amount. Of
course, then they would battling other potential suitors for Ross' services.

Work with HTML5 and CSS more efficiently
Dreamweaver CC includes code editing features to help you find, select, author, and update code. The new tag-matching feature makes it easy to identify containers and page structure as you type. Line highlighting and line collapsing let you manage source code and style sheets with ease.
What you'll need
Code hinting has been updated to match the latest web standards. The new CSS auto-completion feature helps you produce pages faster and reduces the possibility of introducing errors. You'll also notice that Code View is much more responsive as you type. Update long, complex pages and see how the development environment keeps pace with each keystroke.
And if you like to work with a combination of code and design, you can manipulate page structures using the new Element Quick View feature. Select items in Live View, Design View, Element Quick View, and the tag selector to jump to the corresponding code in Code View. As you work, your edits are immediately reflected in Code View. Enhanced visual cues in Code View and customized color code hints help you implement your great web design ideas.
In this article, you'll learn about the features in Code View that streamline your development process as you create the structure of sample page from scratch. Be sure to check out Dan Carr's video, along with the accompanying downloadable project files (ZIP, 700 KB), in which he demonstrates using the latest features in Code View to define the basic structure of a web page (see Video 1) and then follow the steps in this article to try the features on your own.
Begin by downloading the project files (ZIP, 2 MB). Expand the ZIP file and save it to your desktop. Download and install the latest version of Adobe Dreamweaver CC from Adobe Creative Cloud.
The project files folder contains the finished version of the file, named index_final.html. You can open the file in Dreamweaver to use it as a reference (see Figure 1).
Special thanks to Dan Carr for designing the sample project featured in this article. After you complete the steps in this article, check out the article titled How to edit and preview web pages with new Live View features to continue working with the sample project as you explore the new features available in Live View.
Choose Window > Files to open the Files panel and take a moment to familiarize yourself with the site files.
Review the default page structure of the new page. The HTML5 doctype is listed first on line 1. The html tag surrounds the page content. The HTML tag contains some metadata and the title tag. It is also where you'll add the link to the CSS file later. Below that is the set of body tags that will contain all the page elements displayed in a browser.
Click in the title tag to replace the default title of Untitled Document. Type Dreamweaver CC between the opening and closing title tags. Your title tag should look like the following:
<title>Dreamweaver CC</title>
The sample project has a relatively positioned div container named grid. Inside, a set of eight absolutely positioned div containers are displayed at specific page locations to create the tiled effect.
Before adding the grid structure, follow the steps to review a diagram of the page layout.
In the Files panel, click the _src folder to expand it. Double-click the file named tile_layout.jpg to open it in Photoshop or the application your machine is configured to open JPG file types (see Figure 4).Figure 4. Review the diagram of the layout
The diagram displays the positioning of tiles in the site on a grid. The dimensions for the grid and each of the div tile containers are mapped out with their width, height, and positioning coordinates. Drawing this type of blueprint, or wireframe, and calculating the attributes of each container before you begin coding the CSS styles provides a helpful starting point for designing your web site. You could just list the values on a piece of paper, but it is better to create a drawing of the layout.
Click inside the opening grid div tag and notice that the closing div tag also highlights (see Figure 5). This light gray visual cue makes it easy to see containers and identify the page structure in your code.Figure 5. Make fewer typing mistakes with matching tag highlighting
Select the opening and closing div class for the tile. As two or more lines of code are selected, notice how the corresponding line numbers highlight (see Figure 6).Figure 6. While a block of code is selected, the line numbers for selected elements are highlighted in blue
Paste the copied tag set seven times, to create a total of eight div tile containers nested inside the outer div grid tag. When you are working with longer pages, you can select blocks of code and collapse them by clicking the Collapse Section button (see Figure 7).Figure 7. Make longer pages more manageable by collapsing sections of the code
Next you'll create the external CSS file that will contain all the styles to define the page layout and appearance.
Choose File > Save to save the file in the site folder alongside the index.html file. Name the file grid_styles.css and click Save.
Notice that the CSS file immediately appears in the Files panel along with the other site files (see Figure 8).Figure 8. The site definition ensures that all related files are saved in the local root folder
The Files panel includes many features for managing your assets, so you don't need to leave the Dreamweaver workspace. It's a best practice to use the Files panel whenever you want to rename files or update a file's location within the site folder because Dreamweaver can update links in pages and reduce potential file management issues.
Next, you'll add a style to control attributes of the body tag.
As you continue typing, notice that as soon as you type the colon after the property color, you can click the color palette icon to display a color picker. Type the hexadecimal value #FFFFFF or click the white area in the top left corner of the spectrum (see Figure 10).Figure 10. Choose a color, sample a color on the page, or enter the color value in your choice of three different color spaces
Finish typing the third line of the rule and notice that the color picker appears again to help you set the value for the background-color property.
.grid { width: 1140px; height: 890px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 40px; position: relative; border-radius: 10px; background-color: #3a3a3a; }
Next, you'll add the eight rules to control the specific attributes that affect each of the div tile containers individually. These rules set the positioning coordinates, the dimensions, and source content for the tiles.
Either copy and paste the code below into the style sheet, or copy the eight rules from the completed index_final.html file:
#tile1 { top: 20px; left: 20px; width: 270px; height: 270px; } #tile2 { top: 310px; left: 20px; width: 270px; height: 270px; background-image: url(images/tile2.jpg); } #tile3 { top: 20px; left: 310px; width: 560px; height: 560px; } #tile4 { top: 20px; left: 890px; width: 270px; height: 270px; background-image: url(images/tile4.jpg); } #tile5 { top: 310px; left: 890px; width: 270px; height: 270px; background-image: url(images/tile5.jpg); } #tile6 { top: 600px; left: 20px; width: 560px; height: 270px; background-image: url(images/tile6.jpg); } #tile7 { top: 600px; left: 600px; width: 270px; height: 270px; } #tile8 { top: 600px; left: 890px; width: 270px; height: 270px; background-image: url(images/tile8.jpg); }
Use the code-hinting feature in Code View to type the ID selectors for the remaining seven div tiles. ID selectors must be uniquely named and can only exist once per page, so update the IDs for each selector to the next ascending number to match the eight ID names you added to the style sheet (see Figure 12).
Figure 12. Use code hinting to narrow the list of selectors available to style the div After adding the styles for the layout, the page design is almost complete.
The 2014 release of Dreamweaver includes another new feature to help you author projects more efficiently. You can choose custom colors to highlight your code as you work.
In Dreamweaver preferences, choose the Code Coloring category. In the Document Type list, choose HTML or CSS (see Figure 14).
Figure 14. Choose colors or enter color values in the fields
Select the HTML document type. In the Current Tag Highlighting section, notice that while Enable Tag Highlighting is selected, you can click the color chip next to Highlight Color and change the color from the default gray to any color you prefer. For this example, a bright green color is selected (see Figure 15).
Figure 15. Choose a custom color to highlight HTML or CSS tags in Code View
Click between the opening and closing div tile1 tags and press Return/Enter once to add space for more content. This time, you'll insert an image. Type <img
When you type a space, code hints appear. Type the letter "s" and press the Down Arrow key twice, and then press Return/Enter to choose the src attribute from the list.
After choosing src, a new code hint appears. Click Browse and select the file named logo.jpg in the images folder. Click Open (see Figure 17).Figure 17. Browse to select the image file located in the images folder
Type another space followed by the letter "h" and then press Enter/Return to choose the height attribute. This time, you can choose 270 from the code hint that appears and press Enter/Return to add 270 between the quotes. Type /> (a forward slash and a greater than sign) to finish the image tag.
The complete image tag looks like this:

In this project, most of the images are set as background images in the CSS styles that define each div tile in the grid_styles.css file. You can choose to add image content either way, based on the layout and the design direction of the page you are constructing. When div tags have background images defined as styles, you can add other content in the same div, such as semi-transparent images or text, that display above the background image.
Most of the div tiles contain background images or inserted image content, but div tile3 and div tile7 are still empty. You'll add some placeholder text to these files and style the appearance using CSS to apply a font from Edge Web Fonts.
Repeat Step 3 to add a span tag around the words "attention to" with the closing span tag before the period. The final div tile3 will look like this

1
Add your hero text here along with whatever else you want to call  attention to.
1

Select the font named M+ 1c. When you select it, a blue checkmark appears on the font's name, indicating it will be added. Click Done (see Figure 18).Figure 18. Choose the name of the Edge Web Font you want to add
Click the index.html tab to display the HTML source code in Code View.
Notice that after adding the web font to a style, the script with the link to download the font Edge Web Fonts is automatically added to the code right before the closing head tag. The new code looks like this:

Scroll down to div tile3. Update the h1 tag to add a class in the opening tag.
After you type the quote after the equal sign, a code hint appears to display the name of the available classes. Press the Down Arrow key to select the hero class and then press Enter/Return (see Figure 20).Figure 20. Select the hero class from the code hint list that appears
Click the grid_styles.css tab to display the CSS file in Code View. Either copy the styles below or copy them from the dw_example.css file:
.hero-bright { color: white; } .action-title { /*Use default... Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif*/ font-size:1.5em; margin-top:28px; margin-left:20px; margin-right:20px; } .action { font-family: "m-1c"; font-size: 1.25em; font-weight: 400; color: lightgray; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px; }
In div tile3, update both of the span tags to add class attributes.
As you type the quote after the class=", the code hint appears. This time, the list includes the hero-bright class. Choose the hero-bright class to change the style of the words "hero text" and "attention to" inside the h1 tag. Select Design View with Live View enabled to preview your work to this point (see Figure 21).Figure 21. Check your design using Design view with Live view enabled
You can easily identify the DOM page elements and select them in a tree hierarchy structure using the new Element Quick View feature available in the 2014 release of Dreamweaver. As you select each page element with Element Quick View, the focus is updated in Code View and in all other parts of the workspace, making it easy to jump to a section of the code.
Expand the grid div to see the list of eight numbered div tiles. Click div tile7 to select it. The selection for div tile7 is highlighted in Code view (see Figure 20). This selection syncing works both ways — you can also click an element in Live View to select it throughout the workspace (see Figure 22).Figure 22. Use the Element Quick View to navigate the page structure and select elements quickly
In Code view, click between the highlighted div tile7 opening and closing tags. Type the following code to add some text content:

Call to Action!

Add action statement, and click through to deeper levels of content.

As you type the classes, code hints make it easy to select the names of the styles and then quickly disappear to let you keep typing. Also notice how the code completion feature speeds the web production process because as you type the first few characters, it anticipates the tag you are typing and displays the full tag name. Press Return/Enter to accept the tag suggestion.
Explore the new timesaving features in Code view to experience how quickly you can write code and update web projects. With the ability to edit source code and CSS styles and see your changes reflected in Live view, you can check your work frequently without leaving the workspace. And the new Element Quick View feature lets you select page elements quickly and see a top-level view of the page structure.
In Dreamweaver CC, the performance in Code view is improved, making it much more responsive. Even lengthy HTML pages react quickly to typing and editing. Code hinting includes full support for modern web languages, like PHP 5.4. Author projects confidently, knowing that any syntax errors will be flagged as you work.

Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict forces will continue their worldwide missions despite the drawdowns in the Middle East and budgetary constraints. Our nation will need to support SO and LIC forces across vast distances, in inhospitable terrain, and with minimal U.S. support. Effective support of U.S. and partner-nation SO/LIC forces will require a network of government, industry, and international partners to leverage the capabilities of each and minimize cost. This 25th Anniversary NDIA SO/LIC Symposium will explore integrating worldwide partners into support for global SO/LIC employment.
The R. Lynn Rylander Award, DeProspero Lifetime Achievement Award, Superior Achievement Awards, and Essay Contest winners will be presented during the Annual Awards Banquet, to be held on February 10, 2014 in conjunction with the 25th Annual SO/LIC Symposium & Exhibition.
Mr. James W. Cluck, former Acquisition Executive, USSOCOM, will receive the R. Lynn Rylander Award in recognition of his lifelong and significant contributions to our country. Having served as an Officer, enlisted member, and DoD civilian, he retired as the USSOCOM Acquisition Executive, having revolutionized the manner and speed with which SOF acquires mission critical capabilities. His comprehensive strategic plan to "Accelerate the Force" had immediate, measureable combat impacts around the globe, but also built USSOCOM's acquisition element into a highly focused team that is now the benchmark for other acquisition organizations. The Award is named for R. Lynn Rylander, a Department of Defense civilian who was an early advocate and activist on the revitalization of Special Operations Forces and the organizational and legislative changes required to sustain them; and who was a founding member of the organization, which is now the SO/LIC Division of NDIA.
Lt Gen Donald C. Wurster, USAF (Ret), former Commander, AFSOC, will receive the DeProspero Lifetime Achievement Award. Over a 38 year career, he fought the battle of aging aircraft and complex logistics, succeeding as a spectacular advocate for game-changing SOF aerial capabilities without which the past dozen years of war could not have been won, to include the CV-22, unique types of mobility airframes, and the SOF UAV force. The DeProspero Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes sustained, distinguished service of an individual who has made distinctive lifetime contributions with significant impact in the areas of Special Operations, Low Intensity Conflict, or Irregular Warfare. The Award is named for Colonel Albert A. DeProspero, a retired Army Special Forces Colonel who was a founding member and eventual Chairman of the NDIA SO/LIC Division, and a lifelong supporter of and advocate for the SO/LIC community.

Cup ratings down again and dont tell me its par as it isnt, ratings ARE infact dropping more then normal. Nascar Cup Is losing ratings maybe because of a boring race and lousy coverage by ESPN not showing hardly any drivers other then the leaders fighting it out or a car wrecking, it was terrible coverage and not a great race either. We couldnt tell who was doing what, where Tony was running or anyone else for that matter as lots of big names were running top 20 untill near the end but you wouldnt know it by the lousy coverage, other then the ticker tape across the top letting us know where they were and when they were advancing or not. I turned it off for hrs out of boredom, but friends told me I didnt miss anything, as i did see the battle at the end, but a long race needs to have more excitment then that for sure. Nascar acts like everything is fine but I think they know better but will anything change or have they made too many changes already as some believe they have ruined the racing--Oh well?
NNs ratings were up a little but better then Cup is doing losing ratings.

I'll tell you all something..while Chad and JJ are interesting to listen to at times, Brad and Paul are such a great combination that listening to them takes it up another notch. And all the spotters are great as well.
I hope you had a wonderful time in Houston as I did in Fort Worth. The weather was gorgeous and I got some great pictures with some notables. Got a lug nut from the winning car and talked my way in to victory lane!

Michael Martinez has been recalled from Lehigh Valley to take the roster spot of Chase Utley, who hits the DL with an oblique strain. Yes, that Michael Martinez.
No, we still will not see Darin Ruf, or even the young second baseman Cesar Hernandez, take the place of Utley.
I thought we had seen the last of Martinez last season, but apparently not. As Corey Seidman so eloquently puts it:
Michael Martinez, NL ranks since 2011, min. 350 PA: .188 BA (last).241 OBP (last).272 SLG (2nd to last)
— Corey Seidman (@CoreySeidman) May 24, 2013
That's really all you need to know. It's a head scratching move, to say the least.
57 Comments
The headline should read:
In an effort to increase alcohol sales at Citizens Bank Park, the Phillies have recalled Michael Martinez.
That's the only thing that makes sense to me….WTF!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!-He not only has pictures of Ruben, he must have Montgomery too! He's like a vampire he sucks and never goes away!
I was expecting Josh Fields. This is just embarassing.
Might as well just use a 24 man roster.
To be fair Martinez is hitting .239 while Cesar Hernandez and Josh Fields are only hitting .312 and .308 respectively. So this was obviously about production. Or it could be about speed as Mini Mart has 4 SB in 6 tries vs. Cesar Hernandez' 12 SB in 14 tries.
This comment should win a prize!!!
Classic post! Lmfao. Amaro needs to put the hallucigens away.
The only thing I can think of with this move is that the Phillies are OBVIOUSLY gearing up for a big pennant run…
Our GM is a joke.
Thank god they didn't call up Pete Orr instead.
Pete Orr is actually better than MiniMart. He hits better and is a faster runner. Their fielding is probably about the same, but even if you want to give a slight edge to Martinez there, Orr beats him by enough in the other categories to be the better all around player.
I was being sarcastic you twit. Mini mart is basically a Frankenstein of the shittiest parts of baseball players.
You know…I'm one of Ruben's biggest supporters. I could even be called an apologist, I suppose. There have been moves I didn't like all that much or maybe questioned a little and there have been other moves that I fully supported even when the majority of my fellow commenters ripped him apart for them. For the most part, I agree/agreed with most of what he's done or at least given the moves a fair chance. This, however, is just mind-boggling, absolutely one of most stupid-ass roster moves I have ever heard of. I REALLY can't wait to hear his explanation and justification for this.
I can't take it anymore!!! I think we need to request a meeting with Phillies management, because they really need to explain the logic here. Galvis will take Utley's place at second base, Frandsen is a backup, why call up Martinez? His fielding is average, baserunning below average, hitting way below average. You did a great job of highlighting Martinez stats. How does he go on? He is literally the WORST baseball player, why doesn't he quit? Why do the Phillies keep him? Well I guess the Phils don't have a problem with batting average, obp and slg… since they are so good there. Oh wait, they are 16th in average, 25th in obp, 24th in slg….and since we know there is no direct correlation between gettting on base (WALKING) and runs it doesn't matter. But hang on, where do they rank in runs? Oh right 26th. After the three games with Washington, they play two in Boston……hmm, DH….maybe bring up a guy with a stick…..MARTINEZ!!!! Not sure who to hate hear, Manuel, Amaro, all Phillies management.
I don't think rage quite does justice to what I'm feeling right now.
OH BTW…who has a lower slugging percentage that Martinez…Ben Revere?
I'm going to go out on a limb and defend this move. Somewhat, anyway.
Ruf plays one position on the infield. He can't sub at SS, 2nd base, or 3rd base. The only reserve infielder would be Frandsen, because Galvis will be manning 2nd in Utley's absence. Ruf can't play any of those spots even in an emergency.
The F.O. probably feels that Hernandez needs everyday at bats that he won't get as an ML bench player.
Pete Orr may have been a better choice, I'll admit. But is Orr even on the 40 man roster? Even if he is, he would get just as few opportunities to play as MiniMart, which will probably amount to nearly none. To me, the whole thing is no big deal.
George – All you have to do is look at his numbers and that will tell you that it's obviously a horrendous move. And as for your argument of infield versatility, that's what Frandsen is for. Do we REALLY need another guy that can play the infield when there's a cry for more offensive production? You're saying that it's "no big deal"…you know, that 25th man on the roster thing….but when the team is already struggling offensively wouldn't it make more sense to call up a guy that can actually help with that?? This is a dumb move…plain and simple.
Exactly. Frandsen AND Galvis can cover 2nd will Chase is down. Based on that, what we'll need is a good pinch-hitter bat we can bring late in games and make a difference. Someone like Ruf, possibly. Or anyone who can hit an occasional double or homer. Anyone but Mini-Mart.
I STILL say the Phils need the infielod versatility, because there may be times when Galvis, Frandsen, Young, or Rollins can't go. They've been carrying two extra infielders all season, and the age of the infiled is the primary reason for that; Utley is the proof that the regulars will need breaks.
And just how many times do you believe an offensive guy will be used, seeing as how he'd be the 25th man? Wouldn't it be better for the Rufs and Hernandezes to continue on a regular routine so they can develop into long term replacements?
Utley is not supposed to be out for very longh. I expect Martinez to get fewer than ten at bats. How are ten at bats going to hurt or help? Maybe Ruf or Hernandez would get one or two more hits than Martinez.
I will continue to feel that the entire thing is no big deal. If Utley's gone for more time than expected, or another infielder hits the DL, then, and only then, will that 25th man be a problem. I'm sure that will be addressed IF IT HAPPENS.
George you must be the "butt buddy" of RAJ to defend this Frigging move. Been following baseball and rooting for the Phils since 1952 and I'm ready to give up on this "idiot" led team. MiniMart should not even be playing Minor league baseball let alone being brought back up to a team who can't hit. ANYBODY in their system has to be a better choice then this clown. Games are coming up with AL teams. Need help at DH not a 4th middle infielder. Jesus Christ I'm going to throwup.
George – I've "checked in on a few other blogs in addition to PN and I think you are the ONLY person to actually endorse this move. Either you know something that the rest of us don't or the rest of us are stupid as hell.
Oh yea, completely forgot about the need to DH coming up in a FOUR-game series against the Red Sox. You could easily have Howard DH (given that he's day-to-day) and Ruf or anyone with a semi-decent bat play 1B.
This makes the Mini-Mart move even more baffling! Damn.
So, now I suppose D.Young will likely DH with Mayberry in right.
Really stupid, stupid, STUPID!!!!
So much for the Red Sox comeback in the ALCS V The Empire maing me think I'd seen it all in The Great Game.
Should give Letterman types some monologue material if they look towards South Philly.
This one's really tough to even think about engaging in serious discussion on.
Part of me hopes Revere and Martinez are in the same lineup some game. That'd be funny.
Before the game, anyway.
Other than being small, I don't think Rever and MiniMart have much in common.
1 position vs. many
speedy vs. not so much
can hit some vs. can't hit at all
Revere is hitting .370/.420/.435 in May (51 plate appearances).
I'm not even going to mention the subject's name because the whole situation with him is laughable. He shouldn't be on our roster…period. The move in and of itself is embarrassing. At some point, don't we need to see what Ruf can do for us at the major league level? If you're going to pass him up for a guy who can't even hit his weight, why keep Ruf around? This team is not going anywhere with it's current roster. Bring some guys up and let's see what they can do.
Doesn't get more boring than this move..
Btw..no more Bull's bar-b-cue for me..stopping at WaWa before the game..got to hit em where it hurts before they wake up..
I hear you…my wife and I just sold our tickets for next Saturday's game against Milwaukee. With Utley, Ruiz and Halladay out and the offense and bullpen sucking, there's not much to watch these days. And I'm certainly not shelling out over $100 and wasting an afternoon to watch Michael Martinez.
Somewhere Cole Hamels is banging his head against a wall. Mini Mart always plays on Sundays……….
Nothing at all.
Lefty…you make a lot good posts on this website, so I'll ask you – does this team want to compete this year or not? Are you as confused by this move as I am? This is the toughest and most critical part of their schedule coming up. The team needs offense and relief help. So you bring up a utility infielder who couldn't hit Rosie O'Donnell with an earth ball?!!?
Honestly, I don't think this move makes or breaks the season one way or the other. We're talking about the 25th man, – it's Ender Inciarte, it's Ezequiel Carrera. I look at it this way, can he be a worse pinch runner than Cliff Lee? If the answer is no, then the move is inconsequential.
Chase Utley's injury on the other hand, absolutely could be a season changer if it goes as long as the 30- 40 days that some say experts say it could. You don't replace that kind of production so easily.
My comment above is representative of when I was a kid in the 1950's, and my mom used to tell me- "if you don't have something nice to say about someone, say nothing at all".
So that's what I did.
Rube stinks. Everything that takes a "decision" he screws up.
The joy of recall apparently has The Mini Man more excited than some of the fan base. Did you say SOME?
Check out Mini's twitter account. His most recent tweet as of when we'll smack the send button pictorially indicates he has interest in sticking for a spell. At least that's how the old saying goes…there's no place like home.
He's hitting better than Mike Olt, and about as well as Billy Hamilton, so he's got that going for him. 🙂
He's got nothing going for him. Quit BSing.
Once again ruin tomorrow Jr shows he has no plans of winning a divison or a series. Ive said it before and Ill say it again. AS LONG AS MINI MART AND DURBIN REMAIN ON THIS TEAM,I BELIEVE THIS TEAM HAS NO COMITTMENT TO WINNING OR CONTENDING !!! RELEASE THOSE GUYS AND I"LL HAVE FAITH AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
I second those emotions.
I don't really care about the "he's the 25th man on the roster" argument. The point is….he sucks as an MLB player and shouldn't be up here. AT ALL! PERIOD! Christ…if the dude could actually somehow contribute… CONSISTENTLY… then fine. But he can't hit at all, really isn't all that that fast, is an adequate fielder that plays a few positions but that's about it. Frandsen can play 3 infield positions (incl 1B) To me, this team ….RIGHT NOW … needs someone like a Darin Ruf or a Cesar Hernandez to maybe help provide some kind of spark. Mini Mart ain't that guy.
Rarely do we see this board so emotionally charged. Save your energy folks, big freakin' series with the Door-matitudes starting in a few hours.
No sign of Mini in this lineup.

i give up! i don't even have the will to complain about this incompetent so called ball player being brought up. to even have him waste a 4a man roster spot is a disgrace. i was always willing to give rube the benefit of the doubt. but not any more. i actually hope they go into a tailspin and monty grows a set and fires rube, chollie the whole minor league scouting dept. and gets this thing moving forward again ASAP.
Yeah, Lefty…we're all "emotionally charged" because this is one of the stupidest goddam moves any of us has ever seen. He's not in the lineup—thank God!—- but he's on the bench and, therefore, can come into the game. And none of us wants to see that happen since there are more deserving and qualified people to occupy that "25th man" pot.
well put… I will tell you what if mini mart is used in boston or still on the team then I give up . because this team will not be worth watching.
As an English teacher, I can tell you that this move makes a lot of sense. Other than Kyle Kendrick, the Phillies have a dearth of alliterative names on the team. Any good GM can tell you that the way a name rolls off the tongue is important–especially when it is Charlie Manuel's tongue.
Orr hasnt been swinging the bat all that great in the minors. However he still would of been a better choice. Kind of surprising seen that Rube will take the more "experienced" candidate overall despite the numbers 8 out of 10 times. Which in this case will be Pete Orr. The only way this move would of made sense if something was wrong with J-Roll. Rube must have some logic "his logic" behind this move. Depending on how long Chase is out the move may not be a huge deal. Though it isnt really about that but more so what is RAJ thinking,
Lately Orr has actually been tearing it up. Last 10 games at LV:
MMartinez: .212/.316/.273 (.589 OPS)
Darin Ruf: .195/.283/.268 (.551 OPS)
Pete Orr: .325/.341/.675 (1.016 OPS)
J. Fields: .324/.366/.459 (.825 OPS)
You know this call-up could be a blessing in disguise. Some extra time with Steve Henderson and Wally Joyner might release the inner triple crown winner still caged inside Mini-Mart.
Anybody seen Tomas Perez lately? I do miss those post-game interview pies in the face.
Exactly. Mini Mart, in and of himself….for an extemely limited stint…isn't that big of a deal, I suppose. But it's the stupidity of the decision that makes the whole thing so absurd.
Then more of a reason Sheckman that Orr should of got the call.
One possible rationale for calling up Mini Mart…Maybe they plan to call up Ruf (and send Mini Mart back to AAA) for the 2 games in Boston after which they plan to send Ruf back down. If they do this, they can't call back up the player that they just sent down (Mini Mart) for 10 days, so they'll have to call up a third player (Fields?) from AAA. In other words, maybe the plan all along is to only have Mini Mart for the 3 games in Washington, have Ruf for the 2 games in Boston and have another player for the bulk of the time represented by the remainder of Utley's absence.
And what sense does it make to have Mart in MLB for any games???? Why does 3 games in DC have to do with anything???

Addie Lindquist insisted a presence haunted Drake House and had hired noted parapsychologist Bryan Hennessy to investigate, but Rachel knew better than to believe in what she couldn't see--or to surrender to the strong current of desire pulling her towards Bryan.Bryan had dealt with skeptics before, but convincing Rachel was the biggest challenge of his life. The enchanting beauty had lost faith in everything that wasn't practical, and that included matters of the heart.
