Generals Lead North Division With Seven All-Stars
Almonte, Capps, Dunigan, Franklin, Hultzen, Sucre, and Walker to play in Southern League Midseason Showcase
June 6, 2012 3:21 PM ET
OF Denny Almonte, 23, leads the Generals in RBIs (28) and home runs (9) and hits (61) through 60 games this season. Almonte has had 17 multi-hit games and had the second longest hitting streak for the team from April 19-27 (9 games, 17x32). Denny boasts two 2-HR games this season: April 21 v. Huntsville and April 26 v. Tennessee. Almonte is batting .394 (13x33) with 7 runs scored, 3 doubles, 1 home run and 5 RBI in his last 8 games. Denny was selected by the Mariners in the 2nd round (75 overall) of the 2007 June draft and resides in Miami, FL.
RHP Carter Capps, 21, holds a 2-2 record and leads the Generals with 6 saves through 20 appearances. Capps has the second-highest SO/9 IP ratio (13.5) among relievers in the Southern League. Carter has an ERA of 1.53 and has struck out 44 batters this season. On Tuesday against Chattanooga, Capps struck out 5 in 2.0 innings for the save, including the final batter, Blake Smith with the tying run at second base. Capps was a 3rd round supplemental selection for the Mariners in the June 2011 draft. The right-hander resides in Kinston, NC.
OF Joe Dunigan, 26, has hit 8 home runs in the 2012 season, which is second on the team. Dunigan has served as designated hitter for the Generals 40 times this season and has a batting average of .273. Dunigan had back-to-back games with homers April 16 and 17 against Mississippi. Joe also had a 2-HR game in the Generals' 11-8 win over Huntsville on April 21. Dunigan has 8 stolen bases this season and collected two of them on April 20 v. Huntsville. The Chicago, IL, native was a Mariners 5th round selection in the 2007 June draft.
INF Nick Franklin, 21, has had a breakout season in 2012, leading the Generals in six hitting categories. Franklin boasts the top batting average (.337, 60x178) and slugging percentage (.540) in the league. Nick began the season with a 6-game hitting streak and had another 6-game streak from April 20-25. In his first game back after missing 7 games with a thumb injury, Franklin went 4x4 with 2 triples, a double, 3 runs and 2 RBI (May 18 vs MOB). Nick has hit safely 13 of his last 18 games, batting .358 (24x67) with 9 runs scored, 6 doubles, 4 triples, 2 home runs and 11 RBI. Franklin was named the Southern League Hitter of the Week for May 28 through June 3. Franklin was selected by the Mariners in the first round (27th overall) of the 2009 June draft and resides in Longwood, FL.
LHP Danny Hultzen, 22, has had an incredible first season, leading the Southern League in ERA (1.44), WHIP (0.99) and opponent batting average (.152). He also leads the Generals with 67 strikeouts and 6 wins in 11 starts. Hultzen pitched 16 straight innings (April 19-29) without allowing a single run of any kind. Danny had a career-high 12 strikeouts in Jackson's May 23 loss at Montgomery. Hultzen was named the Southern League Pitcher of the Week for May 28 through June 3. The former Virginia Cavalier was the Mariners' first round pick (2nd overall) in the 2011 MLB Draft.
C Jesus Sucre, 24, boasts a .313 batting average to lead all Southern League catchers. Sucre is batting .414 (12x29) with 4 runs scored, 1 double and 3 RBI in his last 8 games. Jesus has also hit safely in 8 of his last 11 games with 6 multi-hit games. During this stretch, he is batting .415 (17x41) with 4 runs scored, 1 double and 5 RBI. Sucre has caught a league-leading 40 games and has caught 17 of 38 runners stealing (.447). Jesus was signed as a minor league free agent on July 19, 2011, and resides in Cumana, Venezuela.
RHP Taijuan Walker, 19, is 4-1 on the season and has the fifth-best ERA in the league at 2.68. Walker has struck out 53 batters over 50 1/3 innings pitched. Taijuan had a 3-game winning streak from April 9-27; only former-General Andrew Carraway had a winning streak as long this season. Walker was selected by the Mariners in the first round (43rd overall) in 2010 draft and was named the Seattle Mariners Pitcher of the Year in 2011.

Ongoing Review of Cholesterol Drug Vytorin
Get Consumer Updates by E-mail
FDA issued an Early Communication on January 25, 2008, announcing that it will conduct a review of Merck/Schering Plough's recently completed study on Vytorin (ezetimibe/simvastatin) once the agency receives the final results. This Early Communication is based on information that FDA has not yet fully evaluated.
Merck/Schering Plough Pharmaceuticals issued a press release on January 14, 2008, reporting that there was no significant difference found between Vytorin and simvastatin alone in the amount of atherosclerotic plaque in the inner walls of the carotid (neck) arteries, despite greater lowering of bad cholesterol (LDL).
FDA has not received a final study report and at this time, it is not clear why the lower levels of LDL cholesterol in patients who took Vytorin did not lead to lesser amounts of plaque, compared to patients treated with simvastatin alone.
Until FDA reviews the study data, patients are advised to talk with their health care providers if they have questions about the study or the cholesterol-lowering drug. FDA's Early Communication reinforces its commitment to inform the public about its ongoing drug reviews.
FDA will provide updates as new information becomes available.

Paulista dump Luxembergo's Santos
RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Santos coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo suffered his first defeat since returning to the club following a stint in charge of Real Madrid, his side crashing 3-1 to Paulista in the Sao Paulo state championship on Thursday.
Santos got off to the worst possible start when Jonas missed a penalty and Paulista's Wilson punished poor defending to open the scoring after half an hour.
Fabinho equalised for Santos, but Luis Fernando scored with a low strike before Abraao extended Paulista's lead from the penalty spot.
Luxemburgo, who led Santos to the national title in 2004, has wasted no time in overhauling the playing structure at the club.
Santos made 15 new signings for the 2006 season, and a lacklustre performance in the opening 1-1 draw with Sao Bento prompted the tough-talking coach to drop Giovanni, Claudio Pitbull and Luizao and place them on the transfer list.
Gifted midfielder Ricardinho beat all three to the exit door by signing for Corinthians on Thursday, rejoining the club where he made his name before spells with Sao Paulo, Middlesbrough and Santos.
Paulista, from the Sao Paulo satellite town of Jundiai, has won two of their three games so far in the state tournament and hold one of Brazil's slots for the South American Libertadores Cup.
Meanwhile, an under-strength Corinthians moved into third place in the table as Rafael Moura scored both goals in a 2-1 win over Juventus.
Corinthians coach Antonio Lopes is employing a rotation system to preserve players ahead of the Libertadores Cup, with Carlos Tevez, Gustavo Nery, Rosinei and Eduardo Ratinho all rested.

Formula One is back on track with its first pre-season test in Valencia this week — so with eight of the 12 teams debuting their new cars how much will the running reveal about their prospects for 2011?
This week in Valencia has always been the target for most of the F1 teams to have their new designs completed and ready to run, giving them the maximum track time over a total of four tests (15 days of running) before the season-opener in Bahrain in just over one month's time.
Early running is never a great indicator of things to come, and after this test, indeed even by the time the second test in Jerez ends on February 13, the true picture will be far from revealed despite wide reporting of lap times and paddock chat from the track.
Yet deep in the data, the teams will have learned a huge amount about where they are headed in 2011. So what will the teams be focusing on in Valencia?
The shakedown run is the first crucial indicator that everything fits into place as expected, and it is used for nothing more than that.
Ferrari has already given its new F150 machine two short private runs in Fiorano, with Fernando Alonso doing a shakedown after the car's launch and Felipe Massa doing an FIA-legal 60km filming run, in damp conditions, to ensure they were ready to hit the ground running in Spain.
For the other seven, which includes last year's front-running teams Red Bull, Mercedes and Renault, the Valencia test will not be the first time they have started up their cars but it will be the first time they have done all the running systems checks in action. For them, then, the first day will be about simple systems checks rather than pace, so Tuesday lap times will likely be fairly irrelevant.
Reliability runs
Further to this, teams typically follow the initial shakedown test with longer run reliability checks, and Ferrari has already intimated that will be their plan for the early running of the F150.
The following two days, then, will likely be focused on reliability rather than performance, as if there are any major issues then it is important to get a handle on them quickly to give enough lead time to have new solutions ready before the season starts in Bahrain.
Most teams will have assessed their cars on rigs in the factory, but simulation and reality can be quite different. Elements such as internal temperatures generated by engine, exhaust, gearbox and even tyres are not testable in non-track conditions, and anything that is note quite right can take time to adjust.
As an example, the solution created by McLaren to mimic Red Bull's blown diffuser had teething problems, and it took them several days of practice running to establish the problems, create solutions and test them to finally reach a successful solution.
Aerodynamic proof of concept
The aerodynamic characteristics of the car are also important to check in these initial tests, as again sometimes the reality of on-track testing does not correspond to the numbers that were coming out when the model was being tested in the wind tunnel or on the CFD systems.
Although there are high-tech developments in wind tunnel technology these days, in most cases wind tunnels cannot consider the intricate full motion effects that occur as wheels steer, suspension moves and parts flex during a lap — and these can make a big difference.
Any problems in aerodynamics can be highlighted during reliability runs and they are often quickly discovered but rarely quickly solved.
Parts like the front chassis, nose, engine cover and sidepods have relatively long production lead times — so if there are any issues then the earlier they can be spotted and the parts re-designed, the quicker the team will be able to get back on track with new solutions.
New tyres
Much has been said about the new tyres, and although the structure has been tested already in Abu Dhabi at the end of last year, the compounds have still been under development.
The grip created by those compounds will affect the forces going through the tyre's structure and therefore alter the dynamics of the tyre and how its form alters throughout a lap.
This can affect many things, including the stresses on components and the airflow over the car, so teams will be keen to quickly get to grips with what is happening — so much so that some may run 2010 models as well, to assess the difference.
Certainly McLaren, who will not have their new car until after the first test, will be making this the major focus of their Valencia test.
Radical rule interpretations
Finally, although some teams have hinted that they will be interpreting the regulations in a very aggressive way this season, it is unlikely this will be fully seen in the early tests, unless the radical design is integral to the overall car (as in the Renault design, it seems).
In the cases of front or rear wings and other easily added on parts, radical solutions may not appear until closer to Bahrain, when the teams that have created them will be confident their rivals will not have the time to produce copycat solutions before the opening race.
It is often the case that items such as front and rear wings can change significantly between the launch of the car and the opening pre-season tests and the first practice session of the season. Indeed, talking about the new F150, Ferrari's Aldo Costa admitted: "The aerodynamics is simplified and temporary for the first tests, waiting for the real aerodynamic development for the first race."
So while it will be exciting to see the new cars out on track, take the times they set with a pinch of salt.
These three days in Valencia are still crucial testing days, just not very important in terms of setting a pace. It will be the final two tests, in Barcelona between 18-21 February (which has a greater variety of corners) and Bahrain on 3-6 March, where more answers about F1 in 2011 will be revealed. So until then, don't place your bets...

On Friday, the New York Jets signed former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive guard Willie Colon to a one -year deal worth $1.2 million.
The 325 pound lineman appeared in just one game in the span of two seasons (2010 and 2011) due to a torn Achilles tendon and missed five games last year after undergoing season-ending knee surgery.
The Steelers selected Colon in the fourth round of the 2004 NFL draft out of Hofstra University. The Bronx native started in all 62 career games in the Steel City.
Colon was a member of the Super Bowl XLIII champion Steelers, who defeated the Arizona Cardinals 27-23. During the summer of 2011 the Steelers signed Colon to a 5-year, $29 million deal, but the offensive lineman was hobbled by knee and back issues and struggled to stay in the starting lineup. This week the Steelers released Colon and the Jets seized the opportunity to add the talented, yet injury plagued seven-year veteran.
The former Hofstra University standout played both the tackle and guard position for Pittsburgh and brings versatility to a Jets offensive line that could lose both guards Matt Slauson and Brandon Moore to free agency.
New York's offensive front was one of the biggest contributing factors to its downfall last season. The Jets' running game struggled to produce big plays and quarterback Mark Sanchez faced constant pressure and turned the ball over at an alarming rate.
Gang Green's offense took a major hit this week when Sanchez's favorite target Dustin Keller signed with the Miami Dolphins and starting running back Shonn Greene signed with the Tennessee Titans.
In an attempt to revamp the offense, general manager John Idzik signed former Oakland Raiders backup running back Mike Goodson along with Colon on Friday.
Goodson rushed for 6.3 yards per carry during the 2012 campaign. He finished the season in Oakland with 221 yards rushing on 35 carries.
The defense is also looking to reload after the departure of several key players. The Jets signed former San Diego Chargers defensive tackle Antonio Garay to a on- year deal on Friday. The defense has already lost Mike Devito, Yeremiah Bell, and LaRon Landry to free agency and released Sione Pou'ha earlier in the week.
The Jets have salary cap issues and can't afford to sign the big names. Santonio Holmes agreed to restructure his contract to free up salary cap space. The Green and White lost a few fan favorite players this week, but Idzik has been busy in attempt to replace them. With free agency in full swing and the NFL Draft a month away, the Jets will have a bevy of new faces from far away places playing at MetLife stadium next season.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – TeamSLR and Scott Lagasse Jr. announced today that the team is expanding its current race program to the NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) and will be partnering joining with Hybridlight and the Boy Scouts of America (BSA).
Hybridlight, the BSA, and TeamSLR have signed a long-term agreement to develop a strategic relationship using motorsports as the platform and will participate in three NNS races during the 2012 season. Lagasse will make the team's debut in the No. 8 Hybridlight/BSA Chevrolet this weekend at Kentucky Speedway.
He will also compete at Kansas Speedway Oct. 20 and Homestead-Miami Speedway Nov. 17. The team will expand to a minimum of 15 NNS races in 2013.
Hybridlight, a subsidiary of Peterson Industries, offers many products, including solar flashlights. Hybridlight's patented technology makes its products always ready to work without a concern for dead batteries.
The products use revolutionary energy technology that generates power from any light source and stores it. When fully charged the Hybrid Solar FlashlightTM can hold a charge for years. It's durable, environmentally friendly, and guaranteed for life. The Hybridlight family of products offers cost savings while providing light when and where you need it.
"Hybridlight is honored to be associated with TeamSLR, Scott Lagasse Jr., and the BSA," said Terry Peterson, Peterson Industries CEO. "We salute the BSA for their role in providing the skills and experiences that lead to producing our next generation of great young men. Scotty is the perfect spokesperson to promote our products and our brand."
The BSA is one of the nation's largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations. The BSA provides a program for young people that builds character, trains them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develops personal fitness. This weekend will mark the BSA's debut in NASCAR.
"The Boy Scouts of America is extremely excited about our relationship with TeamSLR and driver Scott 'Scotty' Lagasse Jr.," explained Craig Shelley, Director of Development and Corporate Alliances of the BSA. "Scotty is a terrific role model, and we see tremendous value in partnering with him. Scotty exemplifies what young men should strive to achieve: be well educated, have integrity, and be passionate about their goals. The excitement and high-tech nature of NASCAR is a perfect platform to promote science, technology, engineering, and math to those involved in scouting and is in line with the BSA's strategic vision. Our relationship with Scotty allows us to bring this vision to life."
Lagasse has been racing since age 7. He won in motocross, Karts, Modifieds, Late Models, ASA, and the ARCA Racing Series. He made his NNS debut in 2005 with Fitz Bradshaw Racing and competed in 41 events in his career. The St. Augustine, Fla., native scored five top-10 and 12 top-15 finishes and eight top-10 starts in NNS competition.
TeamSLR is the creation of Lagasse as he continues to grow his family-run race team into the upper levels of NASCAR. The team competes regularly and wins consistently in dirt and asphalt races in the southeastern U.S. Team SLR includes a successful driver development program and will expand to NNS competition beginning at Kentucky Speedway this weekend.
"The Nationwide Series program has taken a couple of years to develop and a lot of time and effort from many," commented Lagasse. "I feel blessed and very fortunate to have so many people around the sport continue to believe in me and this dream. It's truly an honor to have the Boy Scouts of America, one of the world's premier youth organizations, as a marketing partner with Hybridlight and our team. I am anxious to begin the on-track part of our growth."

Let me say this as plainly as I can: by August 31, 2010, our combat mission in Iraq will end....We will retain a transitional force to carry out three distinct functions: training, equipping, and advising Iraqi Security Forces as long as they remain non-sectarian; conducting targeted counter-terrorism missions; and protecting our ongoing civilian and military efforts within Iraq. Initially, this force will likely be made up of 35-50,000 U.S. troops. Through this period of transition, we will carry out further redeployments. And under the Status of Forces Agreement with the Iraqi government, I intend to remove all U.S. troops from Iraq by the end of 2011. We will complete this transition to Iraqi responsibility, and we will bring our troops home with the honor that they have earned.

There are some caveats, and Spencer Ackerman explains the details here. But the bottom line is simple: all combat troops will be out within 18 months, and all troops will be out within 34 months. That's probably not as quickly as I'd like to see it done, but it's probably about as quickly as it was ever likely to happen given the inherent instability of the political situation.

Look at how Obama has framed the debate since the election. Every single symbolic act has been inclusive and sober. From that speech in Grant Park to the eschewal of euphoria on Inauguration Day; from the George Will dinner invite to the Rick Warren invocation....And now, after presenting such a centrist, bi-partisan, moderate and personally trustworthy front, he gets to unveil a radical long-term agenda that really will soak the very rich and invest in the poor. Given the crisis, he has seized this moment for more radicalism than might have seemed possible only a couple of months ago.
Italics mine. I think Andrew's basic point is correct: by getting the centrist optics right, Obama has been able to move more boldly than he otherwise could have. Republicans who paint him as the second coming of Karl Marx just look like idiots these days. At the same time, let's not go overboard. Here's how Obama is "soaking the very rich":
If Obama's tax plan is approved, a family making $500,000 a year would see its annual tax bill rise to nearly $132,000 from about $120,000, a 10 percent increase, said Clint Stretch, managing principal of tax policy at Deloitte Tax.
Over the past three decades, these families have seen their incomes double and triple while the rest of the country stagnated. Now Obama proposes to increase their tax bill by $12,000 — not even enough to get them back to the rates they were paying when Ronald Reagan left office. This is a very, very modest nod toward fiscal fair play, very much in keeping with Obama's modest optics. You'd have to drink several pitchers of Rush Limbaugh's Kool-Aid to think this counts as soaking the rich.

The interesting thing here is not just the particulars of the policy, but the bizarre view of the role of government that Howard is espousing. Rather than a debate between progressives who want the government to provide a public service and conservatives who want the service to exist just insofar as it can be supported by the private market, we have a debate where both sides agree that the service ought to exist but the right thinks it's important that it be done in a less efficient more costly manner....You have essentially the same debate over Medicare Advantage between Democrats who want the government to provide seniors with costly medical services and Republicans who want Democrats to provide seniors with an even more costly version of those services by bringing private insurance companies in as middlemen. It's ludicrous.
This really does highlight the right's frequently bizarre notion of "free markets." The only reason that private lenders are part of the college loan program in the first place is because the program was started in the 60s, and at the time banks were really the only institutions set up to make widescale loans. The government didn't have much choice except to use them as their origination arm and provide guarantees as a carrot to get them to participate.
The revolution in finance during the 70s and 80s changed all that, of course. The government doesn't need to pay banks to originate its loans any more than it needs to make the loans using gold bullion. But Republicans are convinced that having Uncle Sugar subsidize loans so that Sallie Mae can make outsize profits is somehow ordained by natural law. It must be more efficient because Sallie Mae is a private organization! And everyone knows that federal programs are cesspools of waste and inefficiency.
But it ain't true, and it ain't true of Medicare Advantage either. Sometimes the private sector does things better than the government, and sometimes it doesn't. In particular, when the main job at hand is cutting checks, the government is actually pretty damn efficient. There's not much to it these days, and with no middleman to get in the way the feds can provide money at a much lower cost than private lenders.
Bill Clinton tried to get rid of the private component of the college loan program, but he met a lot of resistance and didn't try all that hard. Hopefully Obama will try harder. After all, taxpayers deserve to have their money spent as efficiently as possible, right?

Grose says he accepts that the e-mail was in poor taste and has affected his ability to lead the city. Grose said he didn't mean to offend anyone and claimed he was unaware of the racial stereotype linking black people with eating watermelons.
Uh huh. He just happened to pick watermelons randomly. What a dick.

The economy at the end of last year contracted at a far faster rate than initially estimated, a government report released Friday said.....Output fell 6.2 percent at an annualized rate in the fourth quarter of 2008, revised downward from a previous estimate of a 3.8 percent decline. The drop was even steeper than many economists had feared — the consensus estimate had been a 5.4 percent decline — and was much lower than the 0.5 percent contraction from the previous quarter.
That's an enormous revision. I wonder how Commerce screwed up so badly?
Apparently the answer is that they miscounted business inventories. No telling how. But the good news, such as it is, is that this means inventories are lower than we thought. And since inventory overhang keeps businesses from ordering more stuff, the lower number means that maybe things will pick up slightly more than we expect this quarter. Maybe.

The Conservative Political Action Conference, the nation's largest annual meeting of conservative activists, brings together right-wingers of different backgrounds, viewpoints, and levels of respectability. A good way to get a sense of the milieu at the conference, which is going on now in Washington DC, is to walk the exhibition hall, where exhibitors try to convince passers-by that the gays, the immigrants, the baby-killers, the UN, the Muslims, Al Gore, and/or Barack Obama are trying to ruin America. Below, a collection of bumper stickers, fliers, and handouts gathered from the hall.

Very happy to see the latest review of WHEN WE JOIN JESUS IN HELL in the super awesome Black Static Magazine. Thanks to Peter Tennant for the read and time! Here's a snippet of what he said:
With its central concept of a once violent man who has been domesticated, but is prompted by circumstances to get back in touch with his inner beast, this novella reminded me of nothing so much as the Cronenberg film A History of Violence, though in the touches of arch-weirdness that litter the text – Fist trundling the corpses of his loved ones around in a shopping trolley, talking to them and pet lizard Bianca, his conversation with an artist who works with bodies – there is also more than a hint of the Lynch of Blue Velvet… At the heart of the story are questions about the nature of violence and how far we go before crossing a line. Fist's dilemma underlines the failure of both society and the justice system, leaving a man to do what a man has got to do, if I'm allowed a cliché or two. It's a powerful and affecting story…
You can check out Black Static here…
Also had a first recently when WHEN WE JOIN JESUS IN HELL got mentioned in another book's review on HorrorTalk. Pretty neat. Here's a snippet.
Not too long ago I was blown away by Lee Thompson's When We Join Jesus in Hell. What fully impressed me was not just Thompson's amazing skill, but the fact that I truly enjoyed a style of writing that I tend to avoid. Normally, I'm a meat a potatoes type of guy and don't have a lot of a time for…I don't know, "pretty" words? But Thompson didn't care about likes, he just said read it and like it, which I did. I'm thinking J.R. Hamantaschen went to the same school as Thompson, because he pulled the same shit on me with his You Shall Never Know Security, a collection of his short stories.
Also answered interview questions for Shock Totem #6, which will be out soon with a story by me and others, including that sexy mothereffer Jack Ketchum. Looking forward to when that issue hits the stands (and ereaders).
And if you're of a mind, swing by to participate in the discussion on Horror Aficionados where I'm guest author for January! We're having fun and you should too!

If It were. It would be an interesting, If perhaps rather har- rowing experience, to peer into the mind of Czech Foreign Minister Vlado Klementis, who some days ago took ship from New York, bound for Prague. Klementis has been attending the United Nations meeting in New York, where he was pictured wreathed in smiles, walking arm In arm with Soviet Foreign Mln ister Andrei Vishlnsky. Even when this picture was taken, Klementl; had received friendly warning, from Prague. He was warned tha his and Vishinsky's mas ters were preparing for him the same fate which has now been meted out to Bulgarian communis leader Traicho Kostov and a hos of others. As this is written, Klementis has reached Paris, on his way home It is impossible to Imagine wha thoughts are going on behind the bland exterior he presents to the world. Yet it seems highly prob able that the same thought has occurred to him as occurred some time ago to his former second In command, Arnost Heydrich, score tary general of the Czech foreign office. NOT LONG AFTER the commu nlsts had seized full power in Prague, one of these correspon dents interviewed Heydrich at the Czech foreign office. Heydrich was surprisingly affable and outspoken for a high official In a communis state. Toward the end of tha Inter view, he suddenly asked his Inter- viewer what the chances were of war in the near future between the Soviet union and the United States. The reply was that on the whole war seemed unlikely. Heydrich blurted out, "in that case there is nothing left to do but escape." This extraordinary remark It was as though Under Secretary of State James Webb had told a strange Tass correspondent that war with the Soviet Union was his only hope of liberation can only now be reported because Jftydrlch Hungary Arrests Relief Chief was as good as his worSTSon he -slipped across -the Czech'-borders, and he Is now in the United States. THE REASONS WHY the thought of escape may logically be supposed to have occurred also to Klementis may be briefly listed. First, there are the secret warn- ings which have come from Prague. Second, there Is the fact that a number of Klementis' closest associates and appointees, like Klinger, chief of the Czech foreign office press section, were) purged while Klementis was In; New York. And third, there is the damaging record of Klementis' past. For on a number of occasions in the past Klementis has defied the Kremlin and this is not something the Kremlin quickly for- gets. In 1S39, when the Nazis gob- bled up Czechoslovakia, Klementis "Yes, there'll be eight Winona bands playing That's the good word being given to dancers who are Inquiring about Monday's Battle of the Bands at; the armory.

The most important tasks facing them, Mao said, would be fulfilled, tanks to the correct International policy of Stalin. And these tasks, he said, were the strengthening of the front, the struggle against the war- ongers, the strengthening of good neighborly relations between China and the Soviet Union and the strengthening of friendship be- tween the Chinese and Russian peoples.

In view of all this, Klementis must be fully aware that the kind of independence he has frequently displayed has no place in the Krem- lin's new order.

Yet his former subordin- ate, Heydrich, who has known him well, does not believe this likely. In the first place, Klementis is an old friend and associate of Czech President Klement Gottwald, and if he failed to return he would thus almost certainly destroy Gottwald. In the second place, he has a cer- tain courace and independence of spirit, as his past defiance of the Kremlin has shown. But however courageous, it is hardly possible that he is not afraid.

Front pages also car- ried a detailed story of his arrival. His speech at the railway station under separate was published headings. In his speech at the station, Mao said; "For 30 years the Soviet people and the Soviet government have repeatedly given aid to the cause of the liberation of the Chinese people. These acts of friendship on the part of the Soviet people and the Soviet government which the Chinese people received during the days of their severe trials will never be forgotten." By John Randolph New York turned the water faucets tight here yesterday and eight million New Yorkers saved nearly 11 gallons apiece. That's the amount of a skimpy tub bath. .or a fast shower. .or two big dish-washings. .and- it may not seem so much. But when you get peo- ple saving that much water it means gallons that are still in the big city's giant but drought-stricken reservoirs. It was a water holiday. Friday. .or if you want to go along with the gag, "Driday." Water officials, apparently aston- ished by this blase city's response, called it all a "huge success." Then they crossed their fingers and hoped people wouldn't throw a water binge to celebrate. The final figures won't be known for certain until later today. The gallon figure was a cagey estimate based on 17 hours of the 24. The city has -already managed to trim gallons off its daily water budget since the short- age began two weeks ago. That gives a net savings yester- Jews, Arabs May Agree on Jerusalem Both Oppose Internationalizing Holy Region Haifa, Israel Informants here say Israel and Hashemlte Jordan may rush to a final peace agreement as a result of the U.S. decision to internationalize Jeru- salem, which the two countries hold jointly. The two nations, whose war has been halted by a truce, already are negotiating for settlement of traffic problems aimed at giving Jordan a route to the Mediterran- ean sea and providing Israel roads through Arab held territory to Mount Zlon. Both the Israeli republic and King Abdullah's Arab nation are in full agreement on maintaining their present positions in Jerusa- lem rather than giving in to the U. N. internationalization order. The Arabs hold the old city, in which most of the holy places of seven faiths lie. The Jews hold the new section and have set up most of their government offices there in defiance of the U. N. order. The informants said the U. N. order may speed up these negotia- tions in Order that a final peace agreement can be made. Other Arab nations would be expected to join in the peace agreement. U.N.

Director Held on Secret Charge by Reds Agency Unable To Learn Reason, Release Sought Vienna Israel Jacobson, director of the American Joint dis- tribution committee in Hungary, has been arrested by Hungarian jpolice, it was learned here today. Hungarian officials confirmed his arrest, but refused to specify the charges against him. Harold Trobe, Vienna director of the American Joint Distribution I committee, a Jewish relief agency, I said Jacobson was arrested Thurs- jday when he returned to Budapest [after a six-week leave in the United States. Trobe said he knew of no pos- sible reason for Jacobson's arrest. Jacobson's home was formerly Rochester, N. Y., but a few weeks ago his family moved to Chicago. His wife, Florence, worked in the Chicago office of the "Federation of Jewish Charities." Mrs. Jacobson was with him In Budapest before they left three months ago on their trip to the United States. Jacobson left here last Thursday after spending a week getting a Hungarian visa. Trobe said the visa was Issued with "only a min- imum of difficulty." Jacobson was driven to the Aus- tro Hungarian border Thursday morning by a driver from the Vien- na office of the A.J.D.C. At the border Jacobson was met by a driver from the Budapest office and he crossed the border at U o'clock. Inquiries Reveal Arrest When he to show up at the Budapest office on schedule Thursday, Inquiries were made at the American legation there. The legation was informed by the Hun- garian foreign office ytsterday that Jacobson had been arrested. Trobe aaid Jacobson "probably was acquainted with" Robert A. Vogeler, businessman arrested by the Hungarians No- vember 18. He said, however, the two were probably not very close friends and he did not think there is any connection between their arrests. Jacobson, who is 37, was assign- ed to the Budapest office of the A.J.D.C. in September. 1947, and stayed there until he left for the United States. He left Budapest to visit Vienna only twice during that time. Trobe said as far as he knew Jacobson was never molested by Hungarian police during his long stay in Budapest.

Pacific Transport from picking up the Angus Ward party at Taku bar. but the American ship did deliver oil and other cargo to that com- munist port. The Pacific transport is only one of many U. S. ships that regularly delivers cargo to communist ports in North Chi- na, beyond the reach of the Chinese nationalist blockade. After an almost complete shutdown in October in fear of the blockage. British shipping firms from Hong Kong have stepped up their trade with the communist north in the last two months. The volume now exceeds that reached before the na- tionalists announced the block- age. The flagship of the Pacific Transport lines were selected by the State depart- ment as far back as Novem- ber 24 to be the official "res- cue ship" for the U. S. consul general who was ordered out of Mukden. A gale delayed the ship nearly 24 hours off Formo- sa. Another American vessel, the Lakeland Victory, reach- ed Taku bar first and picked up the Ward party. But the Pacific Transport delivered 793 tons of cargo sent to Chinese communist ter- ritory by individual business firms in the United States. In the cargo were gal- lons of oil, 67 tons of scrap steel, more than 20 tons of us- ed truck tires, and quantities of paraffin. All the cargo for Tientsin was taken on in San Francisco and Los Angeles. It was con- signed to private Chinese com- panies in and around Tient- sin. The bank of Belgium in Tientsin was receiving- agent. The five killed in two traffic accidents were either relatives of passengers or persors attracted to the scene. The father of one pas- senger was among the new vic- tims. The mayor of Chiconquiaco, a mountain village, told authorities he saw the broken DC-3 wreckage and saw no sign of survivors. He is the only person to have come from the scene. Fond du Lac Tavern Robbers Take Fond du Wis.

Mrs. Jacobson, 34, said she was "sure the legation would do ev- erything possible to get my hus- band free, but the Hungarians won't release anyone until they're good and ready." She balked at answering other questions explaining that she didn't want to say anything that might jeopardize her husband's position or his work in Europe. "After all, there may be 000 Jews who depend on the A.J.D.C. for help and if I say something that makes the Hunga- rians even more suspicious may- be the other workers will be ar- rested, she said.

Training at altitude paid off , as Morgan finished second in the junior women's race at the World Mountain Running Championships, completing the 4.34K course in 22:35, 17 seconds behind winner Yasemin Can from Turkey.
Morgan's finish was the best among U.S. runners in all categories, and the highest individual placing ever by an American junior runner. (Fellow Californian Alex Dunne, now at Stanford, was third in the girls junior race in 2008 in Switzerland, while Tennessee's Brandon Lord was fourth in the 2009 junior men's race.)
"It was totally different from anything I'd ever experienced," Morgan says, explaining that she'd never run against an international field before, and that the small mountain village of Campodolcino full of athletes was like a mini Olympic Village. "Mountain running in Europe is a much bigger deal than in the U.S."
Morgan's results in Italy proved she was completely back from an iliotibial band injury she sustained during the final 400m of her best 3200m last spring. Instead of calling it quits for the season, she got in the pool and water ran for five weeks, keeping herself fit enough to run 10:33 soon after returning to the track. Her cross country season culminated with a second place in the California state cross country meet, helping the Torrey Pines girls take the team title.
"It has been a goal of mine since my freshman year to lead my team to a state championship," she says, "so to see that goal become a reality was an amazing accomplishment."
A month later, Morgan placed 17th at the Foot Locker Cross Country Championships in San Diego, just down the road from her home.
Morgan will run for the University of Washington in the fall of 2010, but she has a few goals left as her high school career winds down, including lowering her PRs in the 1600m and 3200m and finishing on the podium (top six) at state in the 3200m.
"She'll do it," assistant cross country coach Michelle Van Someren says. "Megan is just driven. She knows what she wants, she knows what it takes to get there."

"That is not weather, that's an emergency condition." – Lewis Black on Minnesota weather
Minnesota: Tale of 3 seasons – in one hour!
Welcome to Minnesota.
If you wanted winter, spring or summer you could find it all in Minnesota Wednesday afternoon.
Didn't get enough of that wintery feeling this year? How about beautiful Grand Marais, where a chilly drizzle fell in wintery 37 degree air next to an ice cold Lake Superior.
Want spring? How about some sunny skies and 63 in Thief River Falls?
Not good enough? Okay, how about a summery 82 degrees (average highs for July) in Fairmont along I-90 in southern Minnesota.
Check out some of these observations from the same hour…4pm Wednesday in Minnesota.
A passing low pressure system and a huge temperature contrast meant you could literally drive a few hours to the weather of your choice Wednesday. A temperature contrast of nearly 50 degrees at the same moment… in one state.
Maybe Lewis Black has it right when he describes how crazy we all are to live in Minnesota. This is really funny stuff, but fair warning…it's very adult and laced with profanity… and not for you if you're easily offended by "strong language."
Still I post the link here because I think it says something about Minnesota weather, and just how high our "tolerance level" is to extreme…sometimes insane weather changes. What we think of as "normal weather" in Minnesota people in other parts of the world would truly call an emergency!
Next: Cold front
Wednesday high of 73 was the 5th day at or above 70 this month. last month, we tallied 8 days at or above 70 in March, including one day of 80 degrees in march on St. Patty's Day.
That looks like the last 70 degree day for about a week in the metro and most of Minnesota.
A cold front sweeps through overnight into Thursday morning.
Temps will tumble through the 50s Thursday, and plunge into the 30s by Friday morning.

Frost and freeze warnings are flying for northwest Minnesota Thursday morning.
Even in the metro, patchy frost is a possibility Friday through Sunday morning as the nose of cool Canadian high pressure slides in.
It's still too early to plant the garden. Mom always used to say after Mother's Day. And we all know mom is always right.

A patent was granted on October 1, 2013 to a team of researchers from the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) and the College of Engineering at the University of South Florida. United States Patent and Trademark Office patent US 8,548,724 is titled System and Method for Real-time Travel Path Prediction and Automated Incident Alerts.
A path prediction method that uses a commuter's travel patterns to predict their route and destination, and transmit road advisories via a GPS-enabled device. Once the user's location data is transmitted via a GPS-enabled device it is then catalogued and stored in a GIS database. The user's current travel path is then compared to their path history and statistics and a destination is determined based on related spatial and time properties. A warning is then automatically delivered to the user if there is an accident along their predicted path, without requiring any request or input form the user.
I'd be surprised if there are already systems that do this.

I have a lot of trouble to learn geometry shader, I work in cg and i haven't find any tutorial or usefull documentation about it.
from now i have read the nvdia's book: http://http.developer.nvidia.com/CgTutorial/cg_tutorial_chapter01.html, and implemented sucessfully nice looking lightning (with normal map, specular map, etc) and some animation.
but for geometry i only found some sample from nvida not commented and in ASM and some article about the concept and the purpose of it.
it took me a day to actually get a working simple pass through hello world:
TRIANGLE void mainG(AttribArray<float4> position : POSITION) { emitVertex(position[0] : POSITION, float4(1,0,0,1) : COLOR); emitVertex(position[1] : POSITION, float4(0,1,0,1) : COLOR); emitVertex(position[2] : POSITION, float4(0,0,1,1) : COLOR); }

Louis is upset to find his parents becoming ultra-competitive, wanting him and his brother to get straight A's at school and join lots of after-school clubs like the other kids. Then Louis meets Maddy, who has trained her parents to ignore her.

"Cute and clever"
My nine year old son really enjoyed this book. Louis the Laff moves from his old neighborhood to a new stuffy "upper-crust" neighborhood where he doesn't fit in. Soon his parents are turning into the Stepford Parents, wanting him to become the super achiever that his peers are. Louis has his own ideas about that. And his new friend instructs him how to train his parents...
"great book for a long car journey"
The kids found this hilarious as it was very relatable to them. Also a good listen for us adults alike. we will be downloading the next books for future journeys.
I am Amelie Brindley and I flummoppéd madly! flummopped is an English word that only the top 0.5% of English people should know, it isn't in dictionaries because people who make dictionaries don't know the word. I love flummopps because it's always a good flummoppé when I'm bejourínêd.
fartsereex people don't enjoy flummopps. BTW I'm 9 years old but I'm in top 0.5% of smart people in England.

I am sure this is silly question but I couldn't find why it's not working.
I am using lesson 17 with 2007 C++ Builder and it's working, but if I just change font color to black.
glColor3f(0.0f,0.0f,0.0f); // Set color to black
i don't see the font it changes color to white. So my question is why this is happening and how can I overcome this issue.
Any comment would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Helping Kids Back to Being Kids – Dr. Jaclyn Wey

A Bay Area native, Dr. Wey feels at home in her community and treats her patients like she would her family and friends.
"One of the most rewarding things I do is to help my patients understand medicine, making sense of something that may be scary and foreign to them," she says in this video, which is part of a series highlighting the diverse voices of PAMF physicians.

"Making a Connection With The Patient is Important" – Dr. Ron Sinha
For Ron Sinha, M.D., an internal medicine doctor at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation's Redwood City Center, a good physician-patient relationship is in many ways like a good marriage — where there is open communication, honesty and mutual trust between both parties. For him, personalized care means treating the patient as a person, not just their illness. "What is really rewarding to me is when you make that connection to the patient and you motivate them to make a change that's really important to them," says Dr. Sinha.
Co-leader of PAMF's South Asian Wellness Task Force, Dr. Sinha takes care to learn about a patient's cultural and ethnic background, and family history, before recommending lifestyle changes. "Each patient has a unique culture, a unique background or family history," he says. "I have to make sure I give them advice that will fall within the context of their life."
In this video, Dr. Sinha shares his thoughts on personalized care.

Members of the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) staged walkout for being "denied to speak" during a discussion on the state budget in the ongoing session of Haryana assembly here on Tuesday.
The uproar began immediately after the question hour when the speaker, Kuldeep Sharma, asked Congress legislator Sampat Singh to speak on his calling attention on the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA), while the INLD legislators sought to speak on the budget.
The INLD leaders, Abhey Chautala, Ashok Arora and Ram Pal Majra, reminded the speaker that it had been a tradition of the House that the opposition members were asked to speak on an issue first. As their demand was not conceded, they staged a walkout. They, however, returned after a few minutes.
Meanwhile, BJP legislators, including Anil Vij, Krishan Pal Gurjar and Ghanshyam Saraf, demanded discussion on the budget. Vij said the speaker did not give him time for his calling attention motion. On being denied permission to speak, they staged a walkout, while Vij said the House had become a Congress party meeting and not a place for all legislators to speak about their issues. The BJP members returned after some time.
