The Academy, Shooters Hill: 328 new homes
Designed in grand baronial style The Academy has a prestige presence on the leafy slopes of Shooters Hill, between Blackheath and Woolwich in south-east London. Dating from 1741, the listed 21-acre site was a royal training school for commissioned officers, but closed after the Second World War with the transfer of the facility to Sandhurst in Surrey.
This heritage site is a gem with its central tower, a chapel and lodges, and forms the focus of this self-contained conservation area of courtyards, quadrangles, a parade ground and cricket pitch. Some 328 new homes will be built within the grounds, with homes being carved from the former officers' mess and cadets' quarters, and new buildings are named after distinguished alumni such as Churchill and Kitchener, though not another more troublesome graduate — Napoleon.
The grounds also have a military-style fitness trail and a children's play park and the Great Hall is to become a community space combining library and residents club.
Just released are townhouses and apartments in the academy's original west wing. Due for completion in summer 2013, prices start at £400,000. Call developer Durkan on 020 3689 7823.
Live near Wandsworth Road's new Tube station
The builders are hot on the trail of the £1 billion Northern line extension from Kennington to Battersea. One of two new stations will be at Wandsworth Road, where Sainsbury and Barratt have announced a one million square foot retail and residential scheme with 750 homes to sit alongside railway tracks forming a boundary with Nine Elms. Sainsbury also has consent for 66 apartments above the concourse of the new Tube station.
For many years, derelict Battersea Power Station cast a shadow over the neglected hinterland between the river and Wandsworth Road, a run-down district of rough roads and railway viaducts, industrial premises and council estates. But Nine Elms regeneration is moving on apace and in five years' time, when the stations open, it will be a very different place.
Redevelopment of a Sixties college into a scheme of 231 flats called This Space proved a hit with young buyers. Now on the same lively strip of Wandsworth Road comes Stewarts Lodge (pictured), 33 apartments priced from £315,000 to £630,000, through estate agent Lauristons.
The Filaments, formerly a gas mantle factory, is a new hub for Wandsworth town centre, a complex of seven blocks with 416 homes and workspaces for small businesses.
The low-cost commercial premises are aimed at local accountants, internet entrepreneurs, lawyers, architects and designers who want to be able to walk or cycle to work. Contact developer Mount Anvil on 020 7776 1800.
London Living rentals extras: a cleaner and a Fortnum's hamper
Targeting the capital's burgeoning army of renters, Galliard is launching a new London Living rental brand in selected central areas including Romney House, Westminster; Marconi House, Strand (pictured), and Albany House, Bloomsbury.
Rents start at £500 a week and tenants are being offered complimentary John Lewis bed linen, cushions and toiletries, a Fortnum & Mason hamper, 12 months' free gym membership and a free weekly home clean. Plus they will have access to a range of paid-for concierge services and spa treatments. Call 0800 988 2456.
New office to residential conversions: St Paul's and the Strand
Leaner times for lawyers mean character homes for buyers, as legal offices and chambers in historic parts of town close to St Paul's Cathedral are sold to builders scooping them up for conversion.
Law firms have shed about 20 per cent of staff since 2009 and companies are relocating from the heartland City and Midtown areas to cheaper Southwark and Canary Wharf. Nimble-footed developers are acquiring vacated buildings for niche apartment schemes.
At 7 Ludgate Broadway, along from majestic St Paul's, Galliard is creating eight flats and a three-bedroom duplex penthouse, while at Red Lion Court, a passageway close to the Royal Courts of Justice, there are 14 apartments. Prices from £775,000. Call 020 7620 1500.
Ashlar Court, Ravenscourt Park: 68 new homes
The west side of Hammersmith's Ravenscourt Park is a leafy corner of the borough with pockets of Regency and Victorian villas and terraces plus a pretty square. There, too, is the former Royal Masonic Hospital nurses accommodation, a handsome art deco building which developer Linden is refurbishing into 68 homes.
A four-storey extension with rooftop pavilions is being added and an underground car park. Called Ashlar Court, prices start at £750,000 for two-bedroom apartments. Call 01883 334443.

Could another veteran small forward be coming to the San Antonio Spurs? Ken Berger of CBS Sports tweeted Tuesday the Spurs were one of six teams to express interest in the Dallas Mavericks' free agent Caron Butler.
"Six teams have expressed early interest in UFA Caron Butler: Nets, Clippers, Bulls, Heat, Spurs and Knicks, per sources. #NBA"
Berger followed up that tweet by saying that the Mavs and Butler's agent have also talked about the forward's return. Interesting to see the Spurs mentioned as a team interested in Butler since they already have three small forwards on their roster. The Nets and Clippers have the most cap space for Butler, while Miami, Chicago and New York are all more appealing destinations than San Antonio, but all of those teams have other needs. Berger also tweeted the Nets and Clippers will first try to land a big fish whether it be via free agency or trade, while the Heat and Knicks are likely to chase a big man before a small forward.
It'd be a curious move for the Spurs to sign Butler while they have Richard Jefferson and Kawhi Leonard as well. As I wrote earlier, Jefferson could be a goner via amnesty to get the Spurs under the luxury tax, which would allow them to use the full Mid-Level Exception. But isn't the bigger need at the 4 or 5 spots? Is a Jefferson trade in the works? All that being said, Butler would fit the Spurs model really well if he were signed. Stay tuned, looks like the Spurs may be more active in free agency than some of us originally thought.

How to get a conservative well-posed linear system out of thin air. Part I. Well-posedness and energy balance
Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering,
Imperial College London, Exhibition Road, London SW7 2BT, UK; firstname.lastname@example.com.
2 Department of Mathematics, University of Nancy I, BP. 239, 54506 Vandœuvre-les-Nancy, France; email@example.com.
Let A0 be a possibly unbounded positive operator on the Hilbert space H, which is boundedly invertible. Let C0 be a bounded operator from to another Hilbert space U. We prove that the system of equations determines a well-posed linear system with input u and output y. The state of this system is where X is the state space. Moreover, we have the energy identity We show that the system described above is isomorphic to its dual, so that a similar energy identity holds also for the dual system and hence, the system is conservative. We derive various other properties of such systems and we give a relevant example: a wave equation on a bounded n-dimensional domain with boundary control and boundary observation on part of the boundary.

Charter schools are usually associated with conservative politics. But this perception belies the reality that there are hundreds of "progressive" charters in dozens of states. Among the oldest and most prestigious of these is Bernie Sanders High School in Portland, OR.
Nestled snugly between a Starbucks and an Urban Outfitters at the corner of 23rd St. and Cesar Chavez Blvd, Sanders High caters to "the jaded and the unimpressed." Like most charters, it has a strict uniform policy. (All students wear flannel tops and acid-washed jeans.) But the curriculum at Sanders is anything but conventional. The economics textbook avoids the topic of comparative advantage. The health textbook is a 351-page ode to single-payer. And units 1–5 of the civics curriculum deal with strategies for changing the Democratic Platform, while units 6–10 are a page-by-page examination of Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States.
Thanks to a curious loophole in Oregon law, students at Sanders forego traditional standardized tests in favor of an ever evolving "purity test," which no student has ever passed. Former students attribute the test's difficulty to its general tediousness, and to the fact that...
Secretary DeVos can be explained and forgiven—especially in these wee early days of her tenure—for bringing many of her public statements back to the theme of school choice. After all, that was President Trump's one big education idea on the campaign trail, and the public-policy cause to which DeVos has dedicated her life.
And yet.
There's a saying that when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Team DeVos loves the hammer called school choice. (I do, too!) But they could use a few more tools in their toolbox, lest they cause some serious damage to the construction project we call school reform. Secretary DeVos: May I offer you a screwdriver?
The trouble started with her White House comments to presidents of Historically Black Colleges and Universities. These postsecondary institutions were "pioneers for school choice," she said in prepared remarks. "Tone deaf," Representative Barbara Lee (D-CA) tweeted. "HBCUs weren't 'more options' for black students. For many years they were the only options." The DeVos team soon walked it back.
But, it didn't stop there. A week later, when speaking to the Military Child Education Coalition, she...
A restorative justice session has healed the wounds left by the DeVos confirmation battle, according to a joint statement written by Senators Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and Patty Murray (D-WA), the ranking members of the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions committee.
The closed-door meeting took place Friday, as the warm afternoon light filled the committee hearing room, inoculating the atmosphere with a sense of peace.
Congressional staffers reported that Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) initiated the session using a rarely-used committee rule on community health. All committee members were present, and special guest Dawn Jyoti, a guidance counselor from nearby Swanson Middle School, facilitated, according to committee aides in attendance.
"They began with an icebreaker called 'A Big Wind Blows,' which, I assure you, was not intended as a comment on anyone's verbosity," said one aide. Senators also held a candle-lighting ceremony, and participated in a rose-bud-thorn reflection activity. When pressed for more details, the aide stated, "I am not comfortable sharing more about what was said. People got really personal really fast. I do not want to violate the sanctity of their experience." The aide did note that the...
In an unexpected show of bipartisanship on the Senate floor today, the "Federal Tax Credit Scholarship Act" passed easily with 68 votes to 32. Expecting a fierce battle, Republican Senators instead sat shocked as the final votes were tallied.
The bill gives individuals and corporations a federal tax credit for donations made to nonprofit scholarship-granting organizations. Those nonprofits can then use this money to provide financial assistance for tuition, as well as the cost of relocation, to parents so that they can choose the education that best fits their children.
Hill staffers behind the scenes hinted that the secret to the surprisingly large winning margin was a final push by Senators Al Franken (D-MN) and Patty Murray (D-WA) to include an amendment to the bill that ensured parents could choose to send their children to the public or private school of their choice, regardless of international jurisdiction.
In other words, students can now attend schools in Canada and all the Scandinavian countries.
This led to fourteen democratic senators from Washington to New Hampshire, as well as Independents Bernie Sanders (VT) and Angus King (ME), crossing party lines to...
While on a recent visit to Wardlack Elementary School in Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi, Betsy DeVos was surveying the school cafeteria when a child started choking on a piece of fried okra. The secretary quickly rushed over and performed the Heimlich, dislodging the obstruction from the child's throat.
Then, on her way home, she pulled over to rescue a dog stranded in the middle of the interstate, which she has since adopted after a thorough and public search failed to find its owner.
Despite these objectively good acts, many on the left are nevertheless condemning her choices. A cacophony of detractors has, for example, accused her of offending cafeteria workers by declaring the product of their hard work a choking hazard. "DeVos isn't satisfied insulting public school teachers, she has to disparage the support staff, too!," decried Randi Weingarten.
Some have even called into question whether she saved the child at all. A teacher sitting at a nearby table in the cafeteria, who later met with reporters, said, "The child was coughing. You can't cough if you can't breathe. A nurse was right there!" Another educator accused her of "staging the...

Dear Fordham readers,
I am writing to inform you of some unfortunate news. There has been a catastrophic hacking of Fordham President's Michael J. Petrilli's email account, after he fell victim to a "phishing scheme"—a fake advertisement for "organic cantaloupes" that he clicked for a one-dollar discount.
Education Week, which first reported the story, also made Petrilli's hacked emails public. Less than three years after I handed over the helm to him, this correspondence paints a sinister plot to destroy Fordham itself.
At the center of the conspiracy is Petrilli's secret strategy to write conservative op-eds on Mondays, libertarian op-eds on Wednesdays, and liberal op-eds on Fridays in an attempt to raise money from philanthropists across the ideological spectrum. Emails with several co-conspirators reveal a plan to rename the organization "Lean the Way the Wind's Blowing," whereby competing funders would pay Petrilli to espouse their views in articles and tweets from his Twitter citadel.
In one March 2016 email to co-conspirator Randi Weingarten, Petrilli explains, "My Friday op-ed will explain how we should dismantle teacher evaluations since they are bogus and allow schools...
Surprising the post-industrial world, the United States for the first time has the highest achieving students in international education rankings according to PISA's math, reading and science assessments.*
The influential PISA rankings, run by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), are based on tests taken every three years by fifteen-year-olds in more than seventy countries. The United States, to the dismay of many, has forever produced mediocre scores—typically behind countries such as Japan, Estonia, Finland and even Vietnam.
The 2016 results therefore continue a whirlwind twelve months of unexpected outcomes for the world: the Chicago Cubs winning the world series, Leicester City winning the English premier league, Brexit, and the U.S. presidential election.**
The results also held some hard truths for many nations. The UK and France failed to make any substantial gains. Traditionally low-performing countries like Peru and Colombia improved. And education ministers in Moscow were thrilled to see Russia jump into second place in reading, math, and science—mere points behind the U.S. of A.***
The broader consequences of the results for the education reform world are as yet unknown, but many have already declared definitively...
Following President Trump's election and his contentious nomination of Betsy DeVos as Education Secretary this past February, an ever-increasing number of disgruntled Democrats have opted to ghost the education world, fearing that Trump presents a no-win scenario for left-leaning reformers. Work with him, and be painted a "collaborator," they say. Work against him, and you'll likely have to oppose reforms you truly believe in.
Thus many have taken up other endeavors to fill their time and wallets. Shavar Jeffries, the president of Democrats for Education Reform, is pursuing his dream of becoming a banker. The entire staff at the Center for American Progress was granted a sabbatical to open a D.C.-wide chain food trucks featuring a variety of veganic sprouted grains and meat substitutes. And New America's Conor Williams recently announced his plan to leave D.C. entirely and open a polar bear sanctuary in Finland.
Yet education reformers across the aisle aren't celebrating. AEI's Rick Hess recently lamented, "This is such squishy nonsense! During Obama's eight years of running roughshod over the constitution, did you see me quit education to pursue my lifelong hope of creating a line of...
Chance the Rapper's recent meeting with Illinois' governor about education funding for Chicago Public Schools coincides with a wave of hip hop education-related efforts across the country.
Last week, Kanye West voiced his support of the Trump administration school voucher push and announced plans to open Yeezus Walks Academy, a private "religious" school serving grades K–8. Common recently released a new single called "I Used to Love C.O.M.M.O.N. C.O.R.E." Veteran supergroup Jurassic 5 has launched an afterschool paleontology program. And Pitbull, who already has one charter school, Sports Leadership and Management (SLAM!), has plans for a second, the Worldwide Institute of Latin Dance (WILD!), that will open alongside the first in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood this fall.
But perhaps the biggest news comes via Robert Matthew Van Winkle, a.k.a. Vanilla Ice, who shocked the nation when he came out of rap retirement to create a set of educational rap videos for schools. When asked to comment, he noted, "It's been a dream of mine ever since rapping in Ninja Turtles 2: Secret of the Ooze. It's all about the kids, kids, baby!" ...
For months now, the buzz inside the beltway swamp has been that President Trump intends to propose a huge tax-credit scholarship program as part of his tax reform initiative. That expectation has led to lively debates, both on the page and on the stage, and earlier this month was the focus of Fordham's annual Wonkathon.
As a supporter of vouchers for low-income children, I understand the appeal of such an initiative. An infusion of $20 billion a year, the eye-popping number Trump unveiled on the campaign trail, could help upwards of two to four million needy kids (at $5,000–$10,000 apiece) gain access to life-changing options. It would breathe new life into thousands of urban Catholic schools, institutions that have a proud legacy of serving poor and minority students well, but that are at risk of near-extinction. It could bring private school choice to major American cities in blue states that will almost surely never enact voucher programs on their own, including New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
So the prospect is compelling for school-choice enthusiasts. But so is the goal of Heaven on Earth. The question is how to get from here to there....

Astellas and Ambit End Leukemia Drug Partnership
Just a few days after Galapagos and Roche ended their over three year-long fibrosis alliance, another alliance that's lasted about as long is being terminated: Astellas Pharma and Ambit Biosciences are ending their collaboration for the joint development and commercialization of FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) inhibitors, including quizartinib (AC220), effective September 3, 2013. Astellas has exercised its right to terminate the worldwide license agreement signed in December of 2009, and over the months ahead the companies plan to work together to transfer current development activities to Ambit. Ambit will regain all rights granted to Astellas and continue with the quizartinib clinical trial program on the date of termination.
As part of the original 2009 deal, Ambit received an up-front payment of $40 million, and it was estimated at the time that precommercialization milestone fees under the deal could've reached $350 million.
"While our decision is based on strategic reasons, we are proud of our collaborative work with Ambit, and we are committed to working with Ambit on a smooth transition," said Yoshihiko Hatanaka, president and CEO of Astellas. "We remain committed to the field of oncology as a major area of focus for the company and will continue to pursue our goal of becoming a global category leader in oncology."
"With the Phase II study results for quizartinib that were presented at the ASH Annual Meeting last December, we and members of the medical community continue to be excited about quizartinib and its potential to meet a significant, unmet need in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients," Michael Martino, president and CEO of Ambit, said. "We are fully committed to moving forward with the Phase III clinical trial plan and look forward to advancing this important drug candidate toward approval."

This week we asked our Facebook fans about their favorite sports cars, the streamlined two-seaters that make your heart race: Symbols of freedom, a need-for-speed and impeccable style. We heard about your loves, and now it's time to get in, buckle up and rev the engine. Here are our top five favorite cars for spirited driving.
1966 Shelby 427 Cobra: Weighing in at only 2,550-pounds with 800-horsepower (in some trims) screaming from the rear-wheels, the Super Snake has a totally insane power-to-weight ratio. Any vehicle attached to Carroll Shelby's name is iconic, and the Cobra has always been a recognizable favorite. If you are looking for creature comforts, go elsewhere. But if you are looking for raw power, nostalgia and have deep pockets, this one is worth a drive.
1961 Jaguar E-Type: It's a streamlined crowd-drawer that looks even better speeding around the track, and it was one of the best and, somehow, least expensive cars in its class. The car oozes style and has plenty of power: 265-horsepower for a joyous ride. Not only that, but the E-Type was released in 1961 to extraordinary praise, and a man famous for beautiful machinery, Enzo Ferrari, referred to it as "The most beautiful car ever made." That's good enough for us!
1969 Ferrari Dino 246 GT: Its soft, flowing lines call out to every driver, "Come on, let's go fast! I dare ya." And fast it will go: the Dino accelerates from 0-60 mph in 5.7-seconds. While many sports cars have rigid angles and harsh lines, the Dino stands out from the rest. It was Ferrari's first mid-engine road car, (and a V-6 at that!) and after production ceased in 1974 it had become one of the brand's best-selling models at the time.
1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS: When it was released, it was the most powerful 911 with a larger engine (2.7-liters) that produced 210-horsepower. And why not? It was built to meet homologation requirements so Porsche could enter into the FIA Group 4 class, and the handling was improved ober run-of-the-mill 911s by adding stiffening the suspension, adding bigger brakes and widening the rear wheels.
1970 Datsun 240Z: Although some may argue, the Z-car isn't just a vehicle for everyday transportation; it has been raced successfully in the FIA, ARRC and SCCA. It was a well thought-out, more affordable sports car of its time, and the makers crammed every bit of modern technology in it that they could while keeping an eye on the bottom line. Examples of its high-tech components include the powerful 2.4-liter single overhead-cam inline six-cylinder and fully independent suspension — being cool isn't just about looking good.
We have no desire to wade into the minefield that is the eternal "chick car vs. dude car" argument. But it's self-evident that the cars on this list most defini … More

Students at Capilano University will be allowed to take their final exams.
Striking faculty members have agreed to take down their picket lines.
The University's Richard Gale says teachers will "return to work at 12:05am tomorrow" that's because contract talks are resuming.
"The collective agreement willl still be negotiated. We've agreed to find a highly-regarded mediator with significant post-secondary experience who will meet with the parties and resolve outstanding items."
Faculty have already agreed to a wage increase of 5.5 per cent over five years, but other key issues include job security and 'academic freedom' are still outstanding.
Gale says he's relieved a mediator is being brought in to oversee non-binding negotiations.
"People have been laughing a bit at my optimism, but I have always believed that two sides that had students foremost in their interests were going to be able to come to some kind of agreement and I'm still confident that'll happen down the road."
Gale says exams are slated to resume Thursday.
"We've come to an agreement about bringing the faculty back, so they could administer exams for the students for this term and so, that all the students could, in fact, finish their term."
Classes have been cancelled since Wednesday.

Then there's a fitted luggage set built from carbon fiber, available in three sizes. The luggage is designed to be like the engine cover of the MP4-12C and have been lined with the same "space fabric" used on the supercar's seats.

A cow. It is a big kind of animal, spotted with combinations of whites, blacks, and grays. They are huge, but most would say that they are harmless. No doubt they are in demand in funny cow pictures used for advertisements or social trends.
Ever imagine how could these innocent animals be captured in funny cow pictures? I do too, but they seem to be a natural because they do not hesitate to strike for a pose or two. Maybe they are aware that their pictures are being taken, but they do not mind it because they do not mind to be famous and be in the next milk AD. These funny cow pictures would sure be a way to perk up someone's day if they are going through some struggles. Because who would not think that cows being silly are not funny? Cows are indeed incredibly funny and adorable.

Analysis: Seattle lost $6 million in productivity during World Cup
We know we like our soccer in Seattle, but were we really $6 million less productive during the just-finished World Cup?
That's what a New York personal finance advice firm says.
We ranked No. 7 in lost productivity, with Los Angeles leading the list at nearly $20 million lost money from you people watching the games during working hours, says SmartAsset.
Worldwide, lost productivity was estimated by SmartAsset at more than $7 billion.
Surprisingly, the U. S. led in lost productivity during the games with $2 billion, followed by host country Brazil at $970 million, World Cup-winner Germany at $750 million and England at $640 million.
It's not that we're so soccer-mad, says company spokeswoman AJ Smith, but because our wages are high in comparison to a country like Brazil, and our population is 3.7 bigger than a country like Germany that has more comparable wages. And, she says, a lot of the games fell during our working hours.
For U. S. cities, here's the list of lost productivity, according to SmartAsset:
1.) Los Angeles – $19,469,135
3.) Chicago – $10,352,261
4.) San Francisco – $9,081,258
6.) Dallas – $6,927,455
7.) Seattle – $6,237,254
8.) Boston – $4,916,968
Here's a link to the complete list of countries and the methodology used.

Could not live without it anymore!
By Genevieve
from Montreal (Quebec
A great product! Leaves your face wish a fresh cool feeling, a velvety texture, simply a pleasure to use!It has been only a week I use it (after cleasning, toning... as indicated) and I see an improvement, but the results seem to build with use.It leaves no unpleasant sticky residue, absorbs almost instantly,has a cool feel on the skin, no odours left.I have a very sensitive skin, and I did not get any bad reaction, not even a slight redness. I will continue using this one! Great discovery for me!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
It's worth my money
By Grace
from OTTAWA
I brought this a few months ago and I repurchased again on auto-delivery. I like this product because it suprisingly help me control my acne. I don't have anymore breakouts ever since I started using it(twice a day!)Amazing!!!
not worth the money
By KAREN
from STE-ROSE
I purchased this elsewhere but wanted to comment as I was not that impressed with this product. The line is a great one but a hit-and-miss on some of the products. I have tried others cheaper and more expensive and I find this one over priced for the results or lack of and the quantity of product.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

WASHINGTON -- As yet another Washington Nationals starter struggled, team president Stan Kasten wryly observed, "Just your typical 40-pitch inning."
For the record, Jason Bergmann needed 50 pitches to get through a three-run first inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday night. Orlando Hudson homered off Bergmann in the third to add to the lead, and Arizona held on for a 4-3 victory over Washington.
"It seems like if we just get rid of that first inning," Washington's Ryan Church said, "we'll be all right."
Indeed, the Nationals have been outscored 8-0 in first innings so far, and they've put themselves in a big hole four times in four games. In their opening three-game series against Florida, the Nationals:
• trailed 3-0 in the second and 6-0 in the fourth inning of Game 1, and lost;
• trailed 5-0 in the second and 6-0 in the sixth inning of Game 2, and lost;
• trailed 5-0 in the third inning of Game 3, but won 7-6.
This time, the Diamondbacks were up 4-0 by the third, and Edgar Gonzalez (1-0) and four relievers made it stand up.
Gonzalez said teammate Livan Hernandez -- the right-hander Washington traded to Arizona last season -- told him to throw more changeups than usual. So Gonzalez did, and that might have contributed to Washington's 0-for-13 day with runners in scoring position.
Bergmann (0-1) departed after allowing four runs in 3 2/3 innings -- which actually lowered the ERA of Washington's starters from 11.37 to 11.02.
"We were just patient with him. That was the key," said Arizona's Eric Byrnes, who led off the game with a single and eventually scored on a bases-loaded walk. "It wasn't that we were hitting the ball off him. We made him throw a lot of pitches, and we were fortunate to get a few runs in the first inning."
Bergmann's problem was control: The right-hander's line had more walks (six) than hits (five), and 42 of his 91 pitches were balls.
"He couldn't throw strikes," manager Manny Acta said. "He's got good stuff. He's got to trust it."
Arizona took its 3-0 lead with the benefit of three walks and two singles in the first, when the big hit was Chris Young's two-run single. The inning's other run was forced in when Bergmann walked Conor Jackson with the bases loaded.
Hudson then led off the third by homering to left-center to make it 4-0.
Gonzalez needed 99 pitches to get through his five innings, but he weaved in and out of trouble and gave up only two runs. Two walks helped load the bases in the third, for example, but Gonzalez induced Brian Schneider to fly out to the warning track in right.
The Nationals made it 4-1 on reliever Micah Bowie's groundout to the right side -- the lefty's first RBI since 1999. Dmitri Young's solo shot made it 4-2 in the fifth. And in the seventh, Austin Kearns singled, moved to third on Young's double, and scored on Schneider's fielder's choice to make it 4-3.
But Brandon Lyon threw a scoreless eighth, and Jose Valverde pitched a perfect ninth for his second save in two chances.
The Nationals stayed close, though, thanks to a bullpen that stretched its scoreless streak to 10 1/3 innings.
"We've got to add on when we've got them on the ropes," Arizona manager Bob Melvin said.
- The announced attendance of 16,017 was the lowest for a Nationals home game since the team moved to Washington in 2005.
- Arizona OF Scott Hairston left in the first inning after fouling a ball off his left knee and was replaced during that at-bat by Robby Hammock , who stayed in the game to play left. Hairston said he expected to be able to play Friday.
- Byrnes, who had at least two hits in each of the season's first three games, went 1-for-3 with two walks.
- Schneider has four RBI this season, but none came thanks to a hit: Instead, he drove in runs with two sacrifice flies, a groundout and Thursday's fielder's choice.

One of the first ones that got my attention.

Another one that instantly caught my attention.

It's random. It was a tough choice between this and Endrance's signature of Ai on a Segway for this vote.
8. escimo
I'll add to the pile of well deserved votes this signature has. Honestly, it's great.
25. The_Artist
This one gets the cute vote.
I'd start listing honorable mentions but frankly the list includes everyone I didn't vote for. They were all great and this month was very difficult to narrow down who got the votes. I see a lot of improvement every month and the ideas get more and more creative.....personally I think a lot of my excitement comes from just looking at the entry list and thinking "oh, that's just cool".

19. Ichigo-Sora - Those eyes begging her hubby to vote.. Biased vote FTW!
33. crazyhorse - Smooth flow BG, gif always a b!tch when it comes to smooth color, yet yours doesnt seems to suffer from it a slightest bit.
7. gelato_ - the randomness and the loopable scene push this a bit higher mark to kick off the last one I've considered (escimo's Aria sig didnt have a continuity between 1st and last frame.)
Random note:
Sorry eps~ , While you gain the highest point in my little sudden death tourney to pick the last 3, yours already have a lot of votes that I feel compelled to push the others
As for me, 6 votes last I count, and one of them is from someone I totally didnt expect is enough to consider a win for myself

Sheriff Payne, the Dorset coroner, ruled out the theory that Judge Andrew Chubb was murdered by his wife, Jennifer, because he was having an affair and had just asked her for a divorce. "If she was intending to kill her husband how on earth did she do it?" he asked.
There was also no evidence that the judge, who strongly believed suicide was wrong, killed himself. But nor was it possible to establish that his death at his home near Chard in Somerset was an accident, as an earlier inquest ruled.
The judge's mistress, Kerry Sparrow, has campaigned for six years for a fresh inquest on Judge Chubb, 58, believing that he may have been the victim of foul play and claiming that the investigation into his death was botched.
At the end of the second inquest in Glastonbury, which spanned five days and involved 40 witnesses, more questions than answers remained. The coroner said it was "likely" the fire was caused or accelerated by the ignition of petrol vapour. But it had not been established where the vapour came from or how it had been ignited.
Mr Payne even said the original cause of death - burning - could not be proved and recorded the cause of death as unascertained.
However, he flagged up one crucial piece of new evidence. The pathologist who examined the judge always maintained she had not inspected his airways. But at the new inquest Charlotte Fisher admitted she had done so and had found soot in them - evidence that he was breathing when the fire began.
Mr Payne also said he believed the fire had started first and caused the explosion, not the other way round. Giving a narrative verdict, in which he outlined what had been discovered about the judge's death, the coroner said these two pieces of evidence led to the question of why Judge Chubb had not tried to get out.
Mr Payne said: "It has not been possible to establish why Judge Chubb did not escape from the shed when the fire started. Although the doors were almost certainly closed, they were not locked." He continued: "Examination of his airways revealed some soot staining which indicates he was alive and breathing after the fire started.
"It has not been possible to determine whether he was disabled from escaping by the effects of the products of combustion or other means. Both the means and cause of his death remain unascertained." On the question of suicide, Mr Payne said: "Evidence that might indicate he had expressed thoughts of harming himself falls far below proof beyond doubt."
The inquest heard evidence of Mrs Chubb's odd behaviour in the minutes after the explosion. She took the washing in to stop the ashes marking it and worried about her sheep. She told some neighbours that she was certain her husband had killed himself but later changed her story when she was interviewed by police. Mrs Chubb, 60, has moved back to her homeland of Australia and refused to return for the inquest.
Ms Sparrow, 38, criticised the original police investigation and postmortem. Important witnesses were not interviewed at the time and the shed was allowed to be bulldozed the day after the fire.
A police statement said: "Avon and Somerset police have long accepted that there were some shortcomings with the initial investigation, which is why the case was reinvestigated. We feel a line must now be drawn."

Sochaux held by St Etienne
Sochaux and St Etienne both had a player sent off as they played out a goalless draw.
Last Updated: 02/11/13 10:31pm
Sochaux and St Etienne both had a player sent off as they played out a goalless draw.
St Etienne were reduced to 10 men for the second successive week on 27 minutes when Kurt Zouma, who had earlier cleared a Joseph Lopy header off the line, delivered a crunching tackle on Thomas Guerbert.
Last-placed Sochaux pushed for a winner until Petrus Boumal was handed his second caution 18 minutes from the end.
The hosts defied their lowly status to dominate the game even before Zouma's early dismissal.
St Etienne goalkeeper Stephane Ruffier made a superb double save on 18 minutes.
Sebastien Corchia combined with Cedric Bakambu at the top of the area before forcing Ruffier to punch clear. The ASSE goalkeeper's work was not done though as Bakumbu ran onto the loose ball only to be denied.
A minute later ASSE were riding their luck again as Bakumbu delivered a corner into the area that Lopy met with a header that Zouma was well placed to hack away off the line.
Zouma's night ended early though when his clumsy, if unintentional, challenge on Guerbert deservedly saw red.
Guerbert was left writhing in pain on the ground and had to be replaced after suffering a nasty looking ankle injury.
Sochaux were unable to find the opening goal before the break with Ruffier again making a stunning save in injury-time to keep out Bakambu after he ran onto a Roy Contout pass.
The home side continued to press for a goal after the break and Edouard Butin shot inches wide after Roudet's knockdown.
Sochaux's hopes of a much-needed win were setback though when Boumal saw yellow for the second time for a tackle on Benjamin Corgnet.
ASSE could have stolen the points late on with an unmarked Corgnet shooting straight at the goalkeeper before Brandao's first-time effort flew just wide.

Familiar's Daughter: Chapter One
Nudging open the door to my little shack, I stepped outside into the light of the setting sun. My pale skin hidden under my long sleeve shirt and my black pants, my black haired tired back into a ponytail but my bangs hung freely around my face. Looking around my family or familiars watched me carefully, checking if I was okay and well. Nodding in the direction of one of the oldest they all returned to what they were doing before, walking along the street many of the familiar bowed their heads to me and I quickly returned the favour. In the distance I could see a trail of dust rising into the air and I immediately knew we had company.
"Everyone inside now," I ordered, standing in the middle of the street watching the dust trail become closer and closer.
All the familiars rushed round me, hiding in their small shacks and watching me through small spy holes. Stopping just outside the main gate, two young priests pulled themselves gracefully from their bikes. Staring through two wire gates, I could see them as the older one said something. Looking at the gate, the young one's eyes filled with fear seeing me.
"Big brother, there is a girl in there," He whispered to the other priest, I clearly heard them dur to my super natural hearing.
"There can't be, this is familiar country," The older one answered, looking through the gates seeing me also.
Tapping my foot once on the floor, the familiars shifted in there shacks ready to run if they needed to.
"Let's go say hello," The older one whispered, beginning the short walk towards the first gate between us. Pushing the heavy rusted gates open, they walked closer and closer towards me.
"Hello," The older priest greeted, holding out his hand and expecting me to take it.
Looking from his hand, to his face and back again. I rolled my eyes and lowered my head, before grabbing his hand and pulling it downwards. He lunged forward and I rammed my hand into the base of his stomach. The younger priest reached into the pocket of his pants and he was suddenly on the ground beside the older one, I held a knife to the younger ones throat and watched the other one to make sure he didn't move.
"Why are you here?" I asked, speaking the language that the humans spoke.
"Why are you here?" The younger priest asked, trying to push back into the ground to stop the knife from being right at his neck.
"She is asking the questions," An elder familiar known as Kunaoick said, stepping out form his hut and standing a few meters from me.
The two priests went stiff as they spotted Kunaoick standing behind me; they reached down to grab a weapon when I pushed the knife against the younger one's neck. The two priests hadn't a clue what was going on, I wasn't planning to let them know. I had to get rid of them before dark, glancing up at the sky a hand grabbed my wrist and I suddenly pushed to the side away from the younger priest.
"Little brother, run," The older priest ordered, the younger one scrambled to his feet and he was pulled back down towards the floor and someone dug their sharp nails into the skin of his ankle.
"No," The younger priest said, kicking the arm that had its hand wrapped around my ankle.
Getting up he looked around to see familiars stepping from their huts and surrounding the two familiars. I was lying beneath the older priest, the knife that I had been holding now against my neck. The sun was still shining bright in the sky, so there was no luck for the vampires to help us.
"Why are you here?" I asked, lying almost still beneath the older priest.
"To destroy the vampires," The older priest answered, it was then the clouds covered the sun and a bang was heard throughout the compound.
The older priest was pushed back against the wall with a pole thrust through his chest and the younger one was pushed back against the wall beside his brother. The young priest looked around for what had done that but it had already returned to the darkness of it's underground lair. I sat up and span round on the ground to see the younger priest looking up at his brother with a shocked expression. This boy was no priest, he was still young and still innocent.
"It killed him," Was all the boy said, turning to look at me with tear filled eyes.
"He threatened me," I answered, the boy jumped from his spot and tried to grab me.
Ducking out the way, I allowed two young familiars to grab him and looked back at Kunaoick.
Kunaoick nodded and I watched as they dragged the boy away from the light and into the darkness of the lair and heard the locking of an old cell door.
"Are you okay?" Kunaoick asked, laying his hand on my shoulder and turning away from me.
"Yes, Kunaoick, but he is going to be mad," I answered. Looking towards the darkness and not wanting to sun to ever go away.
Yet, it quickly did. The sun disappeared in what seemed like minutes and our master came out to play. He stood tall, twice as high as any human and as lean and bony as a forgotten skeleton. His shape teeth ready for anything and his eyes hidden beneath the thick protective layer of flesh.
"You could have got yourself hurt," The vampire growled, talking to me in a language the used only by vampires.
"I'm sorry," I said, quickly repeating what I had just said in the language of the vampires.
"You should have come inside, but you choose to stay outside and I had to save you," The vampire growled, everyone else backing away to avoid any confrontation with the much stronger and smarter vampire.
"I'm sorry," I growled back, trying to find of what else I could say.
"Rest," The vampire ordered, gently nudging me towards the darkness of his lair to sleep.
After I was gone, I could hear the vampire turning to the familiars and begin to growl at them. I mean while rested my head against a folder up blanket and pulled another blanket tightly around me. Drifting quickly off to sleep, the next sound I heard was the yelling coming from the boy many hours later.

Holden's Monaro and Commodore utility could soon be sold in the US as part of an export plan being evaluated by General Motors executives.
The move is being pushed by the company's vice-chairman of product development, Bob Lutz, who has breathed life back into GM's North American operations.
"There are obviously export opportunities with Holden," Mr Lutz said.
"Nothing is certain. We still have to analyse the business case and see if we can ... (justify) the considerable engineering effort that would be required for the Monaro to meet US federal regulations."
What is certain, though, is the strong push from the US to make Australian exports work. Mr Lutz considers the Monaro a perfect replacement for America's Pontiac GTO and the Commodore ute as a modern-day version of the Chevrolet El Camino.
GM is interested in the V8-powered versions only, with potential for up to 20,000 sales annually, beginning as early as 2004.
"Assuming affordability, there isn't one guy in the US that wouldn't want it (the Monaro) sooner rather than later," Mr Lutz said. "GM has a history of getting things done when everyone wants them done."
But the Commodore-based vehicles would require significant structural modifications to make them eligible for US consumption. The main issue is the stricter safety regulations in the US, especially the position of the fuel tank, which may rupture in a severe rear impact.
GM also has to evaluate whether to commit to modifying the existing vehicles, which would take at least two years to make eligible, or to wait until 2005, when a Commodore will be built.

Just noticed this chip in the edge of my brand new Never Summer board *pic*
Anything to worry about? Ridden once.
97 Attachment(s)
Uh, if the edge is a full wrap then yeah that's bad.
hopefully more people will chime in.
i would get that fixed i dont think its a chip its where they connected the edges together
Looks like the plug of epoxy where the wrap around edge meets together. Doesn't seem major
If that's the joint there it will probably be warrantied, call NS before getting to worked up.
97 Attachment(s)
If either of those pieces catch on something hard your whole edge could rip out. That looks like something NS warranty would cover.
not really looking to have to fix a +$500 board after one ride.
The board is no longer brand new. It's used. Unless there is some crazy damage that can't be seen in the picture I'd ride it another hundred days and toss it in my used board pile at the end of it....
Isn't this just where the full wrap ends meet? My proto has this also and I've never thought this would be a problem:dunno:

Unions Are Basically Dead and That's Really Bad
Geege Schuman stashed this in America
Stashed in: Politics!, Jobs, economics
The U.S.'s low unionization rates come with consequences for its workers. It leads rich nations in low-wage jobs—more than 20 percent of jobs pay less than two-thirds of the median wage. And the U.S. ranks in the bottom third of countries in terms of its work-life balance. Americans work about 1,790 hours per year on average, but workers in most wealthier nations work less than 1,600. 11.8 percent of American adults work long hours; less than 1 percent of Dutch workers put in more than 50 hours a week.
Unions are a casualty of the conservative movement in America, right?
Yesh. (I don't like the right wing has co-opted the term "conservative".)
They're called conservative because they're conserving their energy by not wanting to change anything. :)
I'd be willing to wager that those who would most benefit from unionization are spurred to frothingly vote against it.

Why I live in mortal dread of public speaking
Megan Washington is one of Australia's premier singer/songwriters. And, since childhood, she has had a stutter. In this bold and personal talk, she reveals how she copes with this speech impediment—from avoiding the letter combination "st" to tricking her brain by changing her words at the last minute to, yes, singing the things she has to say rather than speaking them.

text: A luxury car is considered the peak of driving comfort and aspires to provide the most rewarding sensation of motoring. Based on the oddity and expense of early automobiles, the luxury car category was actually one of the first vehicle types established. One key element of a luxury car is their higher cost to conventional automobiles. Brand prestige, but also technology causes the price of luxury cars to be greater. Due to the advance in technology, many automotive features first appear on luxury cars prior to being fully implemented for the mass market. Electric starter, air conditioning and HID headlights are some items that were introduced on luxury cars over decades. Modern luxury cars continue to push the boundaries of technology with some standout features including full LED headlights and GPS-controlled transmissions. Luxury vehicles can adhere to almost any body style. Coupes, sedans, convertibles and most recently crossover vehicles have proven

The most talked-about companies at Finovate Fall 2016 weren't even presenting on the stage at the New York Hilton last week. But they represent everything fintech innovators love to love and love to hate: The Succesful Disruptor and The Evil Bank.
If Amazon was the North Star — a beacon of simplicity — then Wells Fargo was the banking Death Star, summoning everything we hate about banks. Frankly, the army of fintech PR soldiers could not have summoned a better scandal than the one at Wells. 5,300 employees fired! 2 million fake accounts! Time for the disruptors to shove aside the corrupted legacy institutions.
Isn't that why everyone returns year after year to Finovate — to sit through dozens of presentations — hoping to find The Chosen One, the one that will shame the incumbents and provide a shining service — friction-free! — that consumers never even dreamed of?
Let's face it, after 10 years of demos, the thrill is gone. The excitement of disruption had been replaced with the long slog of actually building a company and competing with lots of knock-offs. Was that another gift card company? More biometrics IDs? More white-label banking systems?
In a conversation with Bank Innovation, Joe Salesky, CEO of CRMNXT, noted that more and more the innovators are focused on the plumbing of the financial system. The new crop is "selling to banks." When mobile banks and peer-to-peer payments hit the scene, everyone was excited — these were consumer-facing products and so fresh. Salesky demo'd at the very first Finovate in 2006, gleeful to show a real product (on a flip phone) rather than numbing everyone with PowerPoint. By the time the financial crisis hit, anything not-a-bank seemed outright thrilling. Kabbage, Moven, Simple, TransferWise, Lending Club — they were making end runs around a clearly broken system.
The model for the new disruptors is the master e-company Amazon, where the razzle dazzle is behind the scenes. "Simple buying with more choices," Salesky says.
The voice of Alexa ruled on the demo floor, cooing answers to questions asked on stage and in the exhibition area. "You have $17,000 in your bank account," came an answer from Personetics, a white label banking financial management tool that helps savers understand their money flows. The Q&A format was mesmerizing and easy — although some regulars grumbled that all this voice stuff was fluff. Y Combinator graduate BankJoy (aspirational name or an oxymoron?) introduced its platform for developers at credit unions and small banks. In their demo, they said the link they built to Alexa took just one day. "Block my debit card," BankJoy CEO Michael Duncan ordered Alexa. "Are you sure you want it blocked?"
At Finovate, Salesky demo'd the CRMNXT the platform, which gives bank employees a global view consumer accounts and enables customers to seamlessly transact from phone to desktop to phone. The drag-and-drop technology make it easy for bank employees to answer questions and sell products suggested by the software's artificial intelligence.
Simple. But. After the problems at Wells, is cross-selling such a wonderful thing? Indeed, Wells Fargo sent out "an alert" on Friday telling some employees to put a hold on the practice, the Wall Street Journal reports. Cross-selling is not the evil, Salesky explains but a system that rewards account openings as well as "stove-piped processes" that mean A can't see what B is doing are problems. The way the goals were framed and the fractured platform are the real problems.
Still, don't assume so quickly that fintechs will be the great saviors of the banking industry, writes Ron Shevlin.
Some folks I know are planning to write an article on (in their words) "FinTech's moral obligation to reform banking."
Oh puh-leeze. Enough with the self-righteousness! I had two words for the would-be authors when I heard about this plan: Lending Club.
It's disappointing that the story line of good and evil won't work. The real lesson is more important: Bad incentives typically lead to bad results. Wasn't that the moral of the 2008 crisis? Going forward, whether watching fintechs, legacy institutions, or their burgeoning partnerships, we should all consider where the incentives are leading the people who execute the business plans. North Star, Death Star, the action is here on earth.1 - Reader Likes This Post
