The Class A-Advanced Palm Beach Cardinals came off a tough 18-inning loss Friday night. In addition to having a position player (Bruce Caldwell) toss three innings, the Florida State League club had sent two pitchers to Springfield this week.
On Saturday, the drain increased as reliever Mitch Harris was promoted from Palm Beach to Springfield.
|A. Garcia
In addition, Palm Beach lost outfielder Anthony Garcia to the seven-day disabled list and infielder Ronnierd Garcia was returned to extended spring training camp.
Two of the three Saturday openings were filled with pitchers, temporarily shifting the Florida State League Cardinals roster to 14 pitchers and just 11 position players. When Springfield activates Harris, they will need to make a corresponding roster move.
The two new Palm Beach Cards pitchers are Luis Perdomo from Johnson City and Josh Lucas from State College. Also promoted to the Beach Birds is outfielder Luis Perez from State College.
Off Palm Beach Active Roster
The story of Harris, 28, is well known. The former Naval officer was drafted in 2008, but 2013 was his first post-discharge season. Given his age, the right-hander needs to move up in competition relatively promptly.
Harris opened the 2014 on the disabled list, joining Palm Beach on April 22. He allowed six runs in 12 2/3 innings for a 4.26 ERA. In his eight games in the FSL, Harris struck out nine and walked six.
Returning to Palm Beach this season after an injury-plagued 2013, Garcia was expected to solidify the lineup, but has been inconsistent. The right-handed hitter is second on the club with six home runs and 22 RBI, respectively, but is batting just .230.
Ronnierd Garcia, 21, spent 10 days filling in with Palm Beach. In four plate appearances over two games, the right-handed hitter went 0-for-3 with a strikeout. He also drew a walk.
Onto Palm Beach Active Roster
In his third season in the system in 2013, Perdomo, 21, made 12 appearances for Johnson City, including 10 starts, logging a 5.40 ERA.
Lucas, a 23-year-old right-hander, missed all of 2012 and returned for just six outings in 2013. Four of those were starts with Class-A Peoria during which he registered an ERA of 6.53. He opened 2014 in extended spring training.
Perez, 22, moved from Johnson City in late July last season. Earlier, he had one game as a fill-in with Peoria. Overall, the right-handed hitter's 2013 line was .257/.316/.368.

Last week received the following email message from a Hong Kong service provider:
|"Is there a product that actively monitors call performance in a Cisco Unified Communications environment?"
|Recommended that the Hong Kong service provider investigate and Download the Free Cisco Unified Service Monitor 2.0 Evaluation Kit. The free Cisco Unified Service Monitor 2.0 - CUSM 2.0 evaluation software provides users with a free 90-day evaluation period. The following is a brief overview:
Cisco Unified Service Monitor is an application in the Cisco Unified Communications Management Suite used to monitor quality of voice in real time. The Cisco Unified Service Monitor analyzes and reports on voice quality using Mean Opinion Scores (MOS) received from Cisco Unified CallManager clusters and Cisco 1040 Sensors. This solution helps enable IP network and IP telephony managers to more effectively manage their IP communications infrastructure by providing near real-time quality of voice metrics and providing alerts when the voice quality falls below a user-defined threshold. The solution consists of these components:
|Cisco 1040 Sensor - A hardware appliance or probe used to monitor quality of voice for up to 100 active RTP streams per minutes. The sensor then forwards a quality of voice metric in the form of a Mean Opinion Score (MOS) for each monitored stream every 60 seconds to the Cisco Service Monitor server.
|Cisco 1040 Sensor
|Cisco Unified CallManager - Stores the CVTQ data from gateways and phones in Call Detail Records (CDRs) and Call Management Records (CMRs), which is then sent or retrieved by Service Monitor.
|Cisco Service Monitor Server - Compares the quality of voice metrics incoming from the Cisco 1040s to a user-defined threshold. If a threshold violation is detected, Cisco Service Monitor will forward a SNMP trap containing the pertinent information to as many as four trap recipients. Cisco Service Monitor can also optionally archive all incoming call metrics, and is used to manage the Cisco 1040 sensors.
|One of the functions of the SM server is to manage the Cisco 1040 sensors. This entails creating the configurations for the sensors which informs the sensor where to forward the quality of voice metrics. These configurations (as well as the Cisco 1040 binary image) must then be manually copied from the SM server to a TFTP server. The reason for this is the Cisco 1040 operates similar to an IP Phone - when it is first booted up it receives not only its IP address from a DHCP server, but also the IP address of a TFTP server (DHCP option 150) where it can find its binary image and configuration.
|The sensors have two Ethernet interfaces: one to report the call metrics to the SM server, and the other is connected to the SPAN port of a switch used to continuously monitor active calls. This means that the administrator needs to SPAN the appropriate ports or VLAN to a SPAN port on the connecting switch. The sensor also receives its power from switch ports that support Power over Ethernet (PoE). The sensors monitor each call stream for 60 seconds and then forwards the metrics to the SM server in the form of a Syslog message.
|In addition, a MOS value for an entire call is calculated on some gateways and IP phones using the Cisco Voice Transmission Quality (CVTQ) algorithm. At the termination of a call, Cisco Unified CallManager stores the CVTQ data in Call Detail Records (CDRs) and Call Management Records (CMRs).
|The SM server retrieves the MOS values from the Cisco 1040s and the Cisco Unified CallManagers and compares the MOS metric against the user define threshold. Any threshold violation is then forwarded as an SNMP trap to up to four trap receivers. Typically, one of those receivers is Cisco Operations Manager which then displays the trap on its Service Quality Alerts dashboard.
|Access to both Cisco Operations Manager and Cisco Service Monitor is via a standard web-browser.
|The Cisco 1040 sensors use an algorithm specifically created for determining voice quality in a data network – G.107 R factor. Among other things, this algorithm takes into account delays and equipment impairment factors, and creates a score between 0 and 100 (poor to excellent).
|Since the MOS is still the most widely used metric for call quality, the sensor converts the R factor into a MOS value and transmits this to the SM server.
|A similar algorithm is used for the CVTQ values. In the end, both the Cisco 1040 sensors and Cisco Unified CallManagers report MOS to the Cisco Service Monitor application.
|For larger enterprises (generally more than 5,000 phones), it is possible to have Cisco Operations Manager and Cisco Service Monitor co-reside on the same platform depending on the number of calls to be monitored, but a separate platform is recommended.
|Depending on the number of calls to be monitored, multiple instances of SM can be deployed and still all report to a single instance of Cisco Operations Manager or other trap receiver.
|Each dedicated SM server can support up to 50 Cisco 1040 Sensors to provide a distributed, highly scalable, and redundant mechanism to analyze IP telephony voice quality.
|A separate SM is not required at each remote branch location.
|The sensors' configuration file specifies the location of the primary and secondary SM servers.

Pilot glides to crash landing in Victor cornfield
A pilot escaped without injury after a crash landing last night in an Ontario County cornfield.
The Ontario County Sheriff's Office says the 1940-vintage Taylor Craft flown by a Shortsville man apparently ran out of fuel and the engine quit. Pilot Richard Schaefer glided towards an open field just south of County Road 41 near East Victor Road. The plane came down in a cornfield, but the lightweight Taylor suffered minimal damage and the 74-year-old pilot suffered even less.
An FAA official interviewed Schaefer at the scene and will conduct a followup investigation. Schaefer is making private arrangements to truck his plane back home.
Thanks go out to listener Todd Whiting who sent us the photo.

has anyone used lightweight spackling paste on their helmet? I'm making a scratchbuilt and I was wondering how you got the spackling to stick to a surface...
has anyone used lightweight spackling paste on their helmet? I'm making a scratchbuilt and I was wondering how you got the spackling to stick to a surface...
spackle isn't very durable... it will chip out much much easier than bondo. i think it would work if you put it on thin and let it dry between coats, but i'd recommend some good old bondo instead!
okay, another quick question, how clean is bondo to work with? and yeah the spackle is chipping off really easy...
It helps greatly, next time I go to the hardware store I'll try and find some.
Just a warning Bondo REEKS it really smells bad. So unless your going to do it in a workshop or outside there are going to be bad smells in your house.
Mix in some "Old Spice" and yer good to go
you could use epoxy, two part hardening kind, when i modified a sgt. fang helm of mine and needed some filler i just mixed some up and t worked great.
just a thought if you don't want to bondo it
I used plaster of paris and cheese cloth. And made the plaster thin but not too thin and slid it through the bowl with plaster and then slaped it on the bucket. be sure the bucket is in the rite shape because it will stay like that. IT IS VERY MESSY!!!
Cheers Gav, I'm actually looking to toss the rest of this "David Beckam" aftershave that the wife got me
come on you Spurs!!!!
I used drywall compound on the dome of my scratch built helmet and it worked just fine. It just takes a long time as you have to lay down thin layers. I then coated mine with poly eurethane ( for finishing furniture ) to give it a nice plastic coating. The final imperfections were then removed/filled in with bondo spot and glazing putty.
I can only speak from personal experience, limited as it is. I used the regular old two-part bondo, small can from Wal-Mart. Mixed up a small amount, stirred it together with tongue depressors and spread it on. I worked in the garage with the garage door up, and the smell was not too bad. I am glad I used it on plastic. The spackling paste is not going to flex very much and I don't know how well it sticks to plastics.
When you apply the bondo, try to make it smooth when you are applying it. I had some raised spots and ridges that took some serious sanding to get rid of. The smoother it is when it's applied, the less work afterwards.
Keep in mind that I had NEVER worked with bondo before and found it easy to work with. A body shop bud of mine called working with bondo "spreadin' mud". That's a pretty accurate description. It dries fast.
BTW, I let my kids, ages 4 & 6, slap some of it on with the tongue depressors. It was quite a sight!
This explains the extra sanding I had to do, but I wanted my girls to get involved with my Boba project.
Try both spackling paste and bondo on some scrap material. See which one works better for you. Go ahead and prime and paint some of it, too.
Good luck, and post pix.
Don't drop your helmet! Spackling paste is not made for flexible materials. It will work if you are in a hurry and want to get things done by tomorrow, but time, temperature, and humidity will cause it to return to its natural state. It gets extremely brittle. Even on my cardboard stuff that is just sitting on a shelf, the stuff is cracking.
Thanks for the warning dungObeetle, but I think that mine should be fine seeing as it was completely sealed with multiple coats of poly eurethane. ( I've also already trooped in it in the freezing cold. Not a single hair-line crack yet. )

Jango72 how thin would you say you applied the layers?
I tried using vinyl spackling on my scratchbuilt, hoping that it wouldn't crack as easily, and i even let it cure overnight, but it shrunk slightly during the night, and there were cracks all over it. I just ended up chipping it all off, and using bondo-glass, sold by bondo - it's bondo, resin, and shortstrand fibers. Hard as steel even with a thin coat, and easy to spread. Still stunk like hell tho, use an open area.
I remember reading your topic (was it yours?) and remember the vinyl spackling, I almost picked up some at Lowe's
I picked up some bondo two days ago, can't wait to use it!
Is there a tutorial on applying fiberglass and such?
Spackle can work if you take your time. The key is make it a little watery, not running but close. Thin layers. Apply, dry, sand, repeat many many time. Then when you've got the shape just right. Seal with varnish, Sand and paint. Yes if you drop it from a significant height it will crack a bit but easily repaired. I've done one with Bondo and one with Spackle. Really personal choice. Of course all this said, going to buy a Sgt. Fang one day when I can afford it.

Sparkle or Spackling?
Ok so I can't spell...LOL...Spackling
I can vouch for using spacking and/or drywall mud as a construction material for a sculpt if you plan to make a mold from it. That's how I do 98% of my sculpts and I have had little problem with cracking or flaking. Sure, occasionally I get a problem spot here or there, but let's be honest - you get problem spots here and there no matter what you use.


text: It has been an "interesting" presidential election season, in the same sense that a train wreck is interesting: painful to watch, but somehow fascinating.It started with the circus that was the Republican primary, which included a plethora of unlikely candidates, some of whom I don't think were even qualified to be a high school class president, and simply gambled on our being so angry with the current state of affairs that we would be dumb enough to vote for them.Fortunately, the circus eventually left town and we were left with two reasonable choices. Unfortunately, we the public had to endure a barrage of political ads that used the time-honored methods of half-truths, deceit and fear-mongering. It made reality shows such as "Survivor" and "The Bachelor" look stately and dignified by comparison. In addition, the sheer number of ads, commercials, mailings, etc. was endearing, in the same way that a stalker can be endearing. It also gave me the impression that the political campaigns thought we all suffered from some sort of neurological disorder related to short-term memory loss, and we repeatedly forgot the ads we just saw 30 seconds ago.Regardless of who the winner is, he can look forward to working with Congress: a group of legislators constantly striving to stoop to new lows in bickering and incompetence, and who are so dysfunctional that their idea of compromise is not to fling feces at each other.Yes, we had a clear choice for president; I myself voted for Martin Sheen from "The West Wing."Kesavan Srinivasan, Hudson

Sporty number: One version of these two slick Nissan IDx show cars will soon become a full-fledged road car.
15 January 2014
By BYRON MATHIOUDAKIS
NISSAN has confirmed that the Tokyo motor show-starring IDx Concept will find
its way to production sometime within the next two years.
Speaking to GoAuto at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit
this week, Nissan Motor Company executive vice president Andy Palmer said the
rear-wheel drive 2+2 seater coupe would slot in well below the current 370Z
sports car in terms of pricing, positioning and size.
However, he stopped short of revealing which drivetrain choices would be
on the production version, while the name of the coupe remains a mystery.
Intriguingly, Mr Palmer made the distinction of singling out just one of the
two IDx concept vehicles as a manufacturing certainty, as there are two
versions of the show-car that originally debuted on the
Nissan stand back in November.
"We've made a decision on one of those two," he said.
"One of those two will go into what we call our 'midterm plan'. Now whether we
do both remains to be seen. I am not saying that we won't do both, but we
definitely will do one of them.
"I'd sit in somewhere … where 200SX/Silvia used to sit."
As first shown in Tokyo, both IDx concepts were featured side-by-side in
The first, dubbed the IDx Freeflow, is a more accessible and eco-minded version
that is designed to use a choice engines from the 1.2-litre to 1.5-litre
bracket, as well as a CVT continuously variable transmission.
Next to it was essentially the same vehicle but with Nismo – as in Nissan's
Motorsport arm – enhancements and badging. It included a significantly more
aggressive look with racing-inspired paintwork, bulging wheelarches and a
larger wheel and tyre package. It features a 1.6-litre four-cylinder turbo
petrol engine driving the rear wheels via a CVT with paddle-shifts.
The IDx Freeflow is described as "a casual/lifestyle-focused vision" while the
IDx Nismo is "an ultra-sporty model of the future that looks as if it came
directly from a driving simulator."
Hinting at the development of some sort of Datsun Silvia/200SX successor some
months before the IDX Concept debuted in Japan late last year, Mr Palmer said
Nissan was keen to create cars "for Gen Xs and Gen Ys."
The veteran engineer added that the production cars would not stray too far
from the show cars.
"Yes, I mean they do resemble obviously a [Datsun] 510, that wasn't deliberate
at the outset," he said.
"We went into a collaborative process to see what youth would like in a car,
and that collaboration with about 100 individuals took us to the 510 retro
look. So obviously if that's where the product planning process has taken us,
the execution won't be too far away from what that looks like."
Nissan's announcement may have been timed to coincide with Kia's unveiling of
its answer to the Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ twins (that the IDx Concept is
clearly meant to compete against) – the show-stealing Kia GT4 Stinger Concept.
Although the South Korean turbo rear-drive sports coupe is still officially a
design study for now, Kia president Peter Schreyer was vocal in his desire to
see it in production in the near future.

With fallball 2012 in full swing and eight new programs officially working and practicing in preparation for the 2013 season, ILWomen is catching up with coaches from each of the new programs. Coastal Carolina coach Jaime Sellers talks about the upcoming season and the focus of this fall.
Past Q&As:
Winthrop Coach John Sung
Delaware State Coach Jillian Lontz
Marquette Coach Meredith Black
Kennesaw State Coach Kristina Llanes
Campbell Coach Phil Schuman
USC Coach Lindsay Munday
Stetson Coach Nicole Moore
You were hired in August of 2011 to lead the program after spending three seasons on the staff at Stanford. What attracted you to the Coastal Carolina program?
The decision to come to Coastal was motivated by many factors. Having spent my athletic career thus far in two highly supportive athletic departments, I aimed to continue that trend. I sought to become a head coach within an athletic department that fosters a strong sense of community and shares my passion for achieving excellence.
The moment I stepped foot on campus, and every day since, I have felt nothing but excitement and encouragement for the future of the Coastal Carolina Women's Lacrosse program. The profound sense of community that I experience in daily interactions with administrators, coaches, and community members has met and exceeded all of my expectations.
But, the defining moment that confirmed my desire to be at Coastal, was reading about our Athletic Director, Hunter Yurachek, and his vision to lead an athletic department that develops "Champions for Life." So much of my coaching philosophy is derived from the belief that my role as a coach is to help mentor and develop these young women, not only on the field, but also in their endeavors off the field. When you add to the equation that we are building a program from the ground up, I knew that the most important factor would be working within a department that embraces my same philosophy. In every way, Coastal Carolina shares my passion for achieving excellence.
How has recruiting been different than it was at Stanford?
I think the biggest difference is the most obvious difference — we are a newly established program. We don't have a past or tradition to point to, so we have had to do a bit of "marketing" in order to make our program and our aspirations known. Nonetheless, our goal is to bring in the same caliber student-athletes to build a program that can flourish to become rich in tradition.
What does your assistant, Christie Kaestner bring to the table and what do you think your strengths are as a coaching staff?
Christie brings awesome energy to every facet of our program's operation. Furthermore, the success she found on the field during her time at Duke and the role she played within their offense has allowed her to seamlessly transition into her coaching role here. I entrusted her with a lot of responsibility in our first year together, and she continues to thrive at learning and adapting on the fly. She plays a crucial role in our player development as well as recruiting. Most importantly, she inherently understands the level of play we are aiming to get to, and the amount of hard work that is required to do so.
What are your impressions of this inaugural team? What are your expectations for them this fall and as you begin your first season?
Since the day I was hired, the conversation we have had both individually and collectively has emphasized how important their character, persistence, and work ethic will be when building a program from the ground up. Our inaugural team is rich in both character and enthusiasm, and it is truly rewarding to walk out every day and experience that.
This fall our focus has been very inward. It is important that we address individual and team skills as it pertains to us, and not necessarily in response to what another team may or may not be doing.
What's the approach to this inaugural fall-ball and what will your focus be?
Basics. We spend a lot of time in every practice on just doing the basics. When they have a larger understanding of these basics and how they carry into more advanced systems, it will allow us to find the most success both as individuals and also as a team. We are introducing a lot of new defensive and offensive philosophies, and that takes time for us to teach and for them to trust. They are doing a great job of adapting thus far this fall, and we have made great strides quickly.
What are a few things you've learned about the team following off-season workouts and now in the early stages of fall ball?
They are eager to learn. They continue to fight. Even in these fall-ball scrimmages where the score doesn't count, they continue to battle. It has been very important that they don't cave under the pressure, or lose confidence in the face of adversity. We have made it clear that our path as a new program will not be easy, and that in order to get to where we want to be, we need to have the drive to take us there.
What are your expectations and goals for this first season and what do you see this team being capable of accomplishing in its first five years? What type of identity are you trying to establish for this program?
I have a lot of confidence in the team that we currently have. I also have a lot of confidence in the classes we have coming in behind them. In general, I have found that when a program is in its building stages, it can be easy to look forward to the future. But I really try to focus on developing the group we have now, because they are our future and will become our leadership.
I have set high expectations for our team and this program, and I only do so because I know we are capable of achieving great things. The systems we are putting into place will help our team build a solid foundation. We have made it clear that we will not find success over night and that it will take time for us to develop. But what is most important is that we all share the same common goal of becoming a premier program.


text: HAMILTON, N.J., April 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Land O'Lakes is a whole lot more than butter. The Twin Cities agricultural co-operative, second largest in the U.S., serves its nearly 4,000 direct producer-members and 900 member-cooperatives not only by marketing its famous food products, but also by satisfying agricultural needs ranging from business development services to animal feed, agricultural seed and crop protection products. Every month, Land O'Lakes sends out hundreds of thousands of invoices to its customers. Printing and mailing all those paper statements is a major cost—one that the organization sought to reduce by taking advantage of modern Web-based billing services. "eBilling is clearly the wave of the future," said Chief Information Officer Barry Libenson. "Our legacy system, however, wasn't equipped to handle online billing. We began to seek out a partner who could supply a top quality online billing portal and related support service, all in a cost-effective cloud solution." A friend of Libenson's, the former chief financial officer of one of the world's largest food and beverage companies, recommended Billtrust. "He gave Billtrust very high marks, having worked with them for some time. We explored Billtrust on our own and were very impressed." Billtrust offered Land O'Lakes not only a robust Electronic Invoice Presentment and Payment (EIPP) service ( Invoice Gateway™) that could be private-labeled, but also a flexible selection of other services. According to Libenson, even Billtrust's print billing alternative had advantages. "As much as we would like to move 100% to eBilling, there will always be accounts that prefer mailed statements," he stated. "Billtrust has nine mailing facilities nationwide. That saves on delivery time and gets our bills into customer hands days faster." Billtrust's SaaS (Software as a Service) orientation was also important to the Land O'Lakes IT organization. "SaaS is something I really like as a CIO. It means someone else can be responsible for the footprint—we remain the customer," noted Libenson. "Billtrust has a history of continually updating Invoice Gateway to stay ahead of evolving technology."

Dear Ms. Agnew, I'll admit it – I was skeptical at first. When I requested the title, I was under the mistaken impression it was a full length historical romance novel rather than something much shorter. How could the full story described fit into just 44 pages, I wondered. ... more >
Dear Ms. Sandro, When I first heard about your debut, my interest was piqued. A non-contemporary romance NA? Featuring non-white characters? Give it to me!

A process's memory regions may be paged, or swapped, to a disk file
when RAM has become scarce. The virtual memory management system is
responsible for this swapping. In most cases, a process doesn't care
about the exact, physical location of a certain memory page. However,
the latency caused by the kernel's paging of memory back into RAM may
be unacceptable to time-sensitive applications.
To avoid this latency, a process can lock specific memory regions in
RAM and thus ensure that they aren't paged to a disk file. Only
processes with root permissions are allowed to lock memory. The total
amount of memory that a process can lock shall not exceed the
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK value.
The memory locking interfaces are declared in
