Site: Myrtle Beach, S.C. (TicketReturn.com Field)
Event: Chanticleer Classic
Score: Coastal Carolina 8, Michigan 4
Records: U-M (8-8), CCU (8-10)
Next U-M Event: Saturday, March 16 -- vs. Coastal Carolina (Myrtle Beach, S.C.), 3 p.m.
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -- Freshman Travis Maezes (Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer) went 2-for-5 with two runs, and the University of Michigan baseball team grabbed a 3-0 lead in the first inning only to see Coastal Carolina score four runs in the bottom of the seventh to break a 4-all tie for the 8-4 victory on the first day of the Chanticleer Classic Friday afternoon (March 15) at TicketReturn.com Field.
Michigan had only one hit in the first but took advantage of three walks, a hit-by-pitch and three Coastal errors to score three runs. Junior Michael O'Neill (Powell, Ohio/Olentangy Liberty) was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning. Maezes reached on an infield single, and O'Neill, who went to second on a wild pitch, scored on an error. Maezes stole third and scored on a throwing error, putting the Maize and Blue up 2-0. The next three Wolverines walked, and freshman Jacob Cronenworth (St. Clair, Mich./St. Clair) scored as junior Cole Martin (Bay City, Mich./John Glenn) reached on another error.
Coastal Carolina scored a run in the bottom of the first before taking the lead with three runs in the fourth. Michigan wiggled its way out of a bases-loaded jam in the sixth and tied the game at three in the top of the seventh. Maezes led off the inning with a double to right and moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on a groundout to second by Cronenworth.
Coastal took the lead in the bottom of the seventh, scoring four runs with two outs in the inning. The first two Chanticleers reached on walks. A fielder's choice put runners on first and second, and Michigan got a second out on the back end of a stolen base, but a walk and a hit-by-pitch loaded the bases. An infield single untied the game, and a bases-clearing double to right was the final dagger.
Sophomore James Bourque (Ann Arbor, Mich./Huron) took the loss on the mound, giving up a run and two hits with a pair of strikeouts and three walks in 1.1 innings. Senior/junior Logan McAnallen (DeWitt, Mich./DeWitt) allowed two earned runs and seven hits with a strikeout and two walks in his 4.2-inning start.
Michigan and Coastal Carolina will meet again Saturday afternoon (March 16) at 3 p.m. to continue play in the Chanticleer Classic.

"Another studio publicist, who asked not to be named because people in Hollywood often reflexively ask for anonymity for no particular reason, said that some assistants…."
WHO? Robin Abcarian, in this L.A. Times article. Do you think, just maybe, Robin ought to have named his/her source? Giving anonymity for such a childish reason makes it harder for anonymous sources to be taken seriously.

It would depend on budget ? With the side imaging units you can actually see Sturgeon laid on the bottom , Heres an example with a group of Sturgeon on the right side of the screen .
I bought the smaller version of this model and it was about $1000 , I think thats about the cheapest you can get with side imaging , Once you learn how to read the screen it does become a big advantage .

However revolutionary and convenient they might be, iPods and their kin don't do much to further the cause of awesome hi-fi sound quality.
Sure, audio compression systems have come a long way in recent years, and you can adjust the amount of compression your iPod applies to your favourite tunes depending on how much memory space you're willing to let a song occupy. But for the most part, iPod music is never going to rival a good SACD, DVD-Audio, or even high quality CD for sheer, eargasmic sound quality.
Not that this has prevented them selling like the most molten of hotcakes, though, as countless people have become accustomed to sacrificing sound quality for convenience. Which is a bit of a bummer if you happen to be a manufacturer of high-end hi-fi gear.
For the likes of Linn, B&O, B&W and Meridian, the way the iPod (and downloaded music) has gradually reduced accepted standards of sound quality must have created a commercial headache quite separate from the one induced by all that compressed music insulting their finely tuned ears.
Eventually, of course, many of the big hi-fi brands have had to conclude that if you can't beat them, you really need to join them. Meridian's had its £1,500 F80 and i80 iPod dock system for a while now, B&W's got its Zeppelin iPod speaker dock systems... jeez, even marvellously bonkers valve-based outfit Fatman has its brilliantly named iTube Fatdock systems.
It was inevitable, then, that eventually even Bang and Olufsen would have to learn to stop worrying and love the iPod, despite the premium brand's inevitably circumspect approach to new forms of AV technology. What we hadn't expected, though, is just how far B&O would go to make its first dedicated iPod product truly memorable.
Once you've clapped eyes on the BeoSound 8, it's not a sight you'll forget in a hurry. Its design (from the ever-imaginative David Lewis) is a true original, even by B&O's usually 'out there' standards.
Particularly eye-catching - and promising - are its frankly huge speakers. As well as hitting you in the face with their 10in width, they're also unusually deep round the back by speaker-dock standards, to give their sound room to breathe. The speakers' design also funnels back to create a cone-like shape that both hides the speaker rears from view when you're looking straight at the system, and avoids internal parallel surfaces so that the sound won't be distorted by standing waves.
Given, though, that the iPod docking section of the BeoSound 8 is essentially just a slender but sumptuously solid aluminium bar sitting between and just behind the front of the two speakers, the speakers' depth would seem to represent a pretty major balancing problem for the BeoSound 8. But B&O has ingeniously turned this problem to its advantage by tucking little feet on the rear end of the speakers so that you simply rest the whole system back onto them. This has the added advantage of tilting the BeoSound 8's front up, further adding to its aesthetic appeal and potentially helping it deliver a more room-filling sound.
If you prefer, you can also mount the unit on the wall - provided you can accommodate the amount it sticks out!

text: Hi all - I just bought a 1991 Brougham with about 39.5K miles - all original, extremely clean. It has a few little "warts" that I will fix or get fixed. The most troublesome is that the power antenna doesn't work. Don't hear the motor running or anything. Gonna look for a fuse or fusible link first. I'll be looking for the stainless (chrome?) trim strips that sit atop the left-side doors - both have dents in them like someone dropped a tool or something. Hoping I can find them at a junk yard. If I do, installing them will be somewhat of a PITA, I think. The nice thing is - it just does fit into my garage! YEAH!

Shakespeare's Globe is on a high. It kicked off this season with a star performance (from Joshua McGuire) in a wonderfully clear and accessible touring version of Hamlet (directed by Dominic Dromgoole). Now it inaugurates its main stage repertoire with a production of All's Well That Ends Well that one would say takes the roof off the theatre, had the theatre a roof.
See it first
Films: I saw 'Never Let Me Go' and found it very impressive. In such a believable way, it incorporates science fiction with the strangeness of the times we actually live in. It was deep, haunting and beautifully shot. My other favourite is 'The King's Speech'. Top drawer!
As one of the very first society photographers, EO Hoppé captured images of everyone who was anyone in the arts and in politics between the two world wars, on both sides of the Atlantic.
Opera is brilliant for the blood pressure. According to research, Verdi's arias, which follow musical phrases that are 10 seconds long, synchronise perfectly with the natural cardiovascular rhythm. When stroke and cardiac patients were played rousing operatic music like Puccini's Nessun Dorma, full of crescendos and diminuendos that alternately arouse and relax the body, they experienced lowered blood pressure and better outcomes.

Nutty Brown-Rice Tabbouleh
Tabbouleh is a Middle Eastern salad typically made with bulgur (dried and ground or crushed wheat berries that are parboiled). Here, warm brown rice takes bulgur's place.
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 10
- 2 cups short-grain brown rice
- 1/2 cup dried apricots
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups chopped parsley
- 1 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cup chopped mint
- 1/4 cup salted toasted sunflower seeds
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
How to make this recipe
In a saucepan, bring the rice and 1 quart of water to a boil. Cover and cook over low heat for 50 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Let stand for 5 minutes; fluff with a fork.
In a bowl, cover the apricots with hot water. Let stand for 10 minutes. Drain and chop.
Preheat the oven to 350°. Spread the almonds and pine nuts on a baking sheet and toast until golden, about 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk the oil with the lemon juice. Add the rice, apricots, almonds, pine nuts, parsley, cilantro, mint, sunflower seeds and tomatoes to the dressing. Toss well, season with salt and pepper and serve.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has warned that the fall of his regime would produce a ''domino effect'' that would destabilise the region ''for many years''.
''The whole world knows that if Syria is partitioned, or if terrorist forces take control of the country, there will be direct contagion of the surrounding countries,'' Dr Assad said in an interview with two Turkish media outlets.
''Then there would be a domino effect on countries perhaps far from the Middle East, to the west, east, north and south. This would mean instability for many years, even decades.''
The interview, with Ulusal television and Aydinlik newspaper, focused on Syria's ties with Ankara, which has backed the two-year uprising against his regime.

[NWSL: Week 3] Sydney Leroux didn't score, and Megan Rapinoe didn't play, but that didn't stop the Seattle Reign from defeating the Washington Spirit, 3-1 on Wednesday evening for its second straight win. First-place Seattle looks like it is the real deal even though it drew just 1,754 fans on a damp evening for its second game since its move to Memorial Stadium.
The Reign opened the scoring quickly as defender Kendall Fletcher put it ahead in just the third minute off
a Jess Fishlock assist.
Keelin Winters scored off Naho Kawasumi's
corner kick to make it 2-0 in the 48th minute and Fishlock wrapped up the Seattle scoring in the 80th minute to ice the win after Diana Matheson's penalty kick
made it 2-1 in the 73rd minute.

Here's how it goes for me. I believe I've won TWO awards.
1. Cutest Dog In All the Camp Site (next was Sadie)
2. Most Played With Dog (next came Roxy)
Yup, I'm the Tuxedo Dog and I am HOT. Oh yessssshhhhh.
Well, any other way, I am the coolest and Woodward was fun.
| ~-[-]-[-]-~ |
_ /
Jazz, Roxy, Sadie, Sierra, and I all went on a camping trip with our humans! IT WAS SOOOO MUCH FUN! *snort* I wore my little life vest and swam around in this HUGE bathtub! FUN! I went on a boat, and I'll post some pictures of me and the ladies later! Luke, my daddy, rode on this big mattress with Roxy's daddy, Kris, and they were "towed" behind the boat! They fell off a bunch of times and Jazz's sister says she got it on camera! BOL! I LOVE CAMPING!!!
P.S. I was held alot and I felt like the luckiest dog in the WORLD! Chicks dig me! BOL!!
One day, in New York, my daddy took me to a store to get a soda. When we got in the back to get the soda, I went, "Bleh, Bleh! Bleh!!" and puked right in front of the machine. The guys there were pretty mean and when we went to the front to pay for the soda, I puked a little and the guys told my daddy to clean it up. He said, "That's fine." He said that because he was happy to only be cleaning up the small puke. The next day, we were on the plane! THEY CAN'T CATCH US!

ANN ARBOR -- David Moorman is a busy young man. The 2015 offensive lineman out of Northville (Mich.) high school spent Father's Day weekend competing at Sound Mind Sound Body in Southfield and now heads off to a church retreat this week near Traverse City.
But before heading up north, Moorman made a quick trip to Ann Arbor Sunday to compete on the opening night of the Michigan football camp, working closely with Wolverine assistant, Darrell Funk.
"It was awesome," Moorman told GoBlueWolverine. "I talked to him on the phone a couple of times but it was really good to get here and work with him for about an hour. It was a fun way to get used to Michigan and get used to him coaching."
Projected as either a guard or tackle at the next level, Moorman played guard as a freshman for the Mustangs before moving outside to tackle his sophomore season. Whatever position Moorman eventually lines up at, a physical, run blocking mentality will follow him, something that stood out about his experience Sunday night with coach Funk.
"He really puts a lot of emphasis on run blocking which is nice because at my high school we're a run blocking team," said Moorman. "It was really fun to do some of the drills that Michigan guys do and get his views on running schemes and stuff like that.
"I like to pancake guys."
Moorman's penchant for pancakes started around middle school when he says he became a huge fan of Big Ten football and the physical brand of football it entails.
Holding offers from Central Michigan and Eastern Michigan so far, Michigan hasn't pulled the trigger with a scholarship offer just yet, but Moorman can already see the bond growing between he and the Wolverines.
"This is my first time being here and talking to them in person besides Sound Mind Sound Body," said Moorman. "It's a pretty new relationship with them but I'm really enjoying it so far and hopefully I can keep building on it the next couple of years."
Moorman doesn't plan to slow down his summer schedule once he's back in town later in the week, working on visits to Eastern Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Michigan State, and a return trip to Michigan in the near future.
With two years remaining on the prep level and several scholarship offers still to come, Moorman already has a good gauge for what he'll be looking for when decision time rolls around.
"I just want a school that can give me a good education," he said. "I want to pursue a business degree so the business school is everything. But also, I want to play for a coach I really like and I can get along with the next four years. I just want to play for a team that wants to win championships."

XDate (GitHub: arshaw /
xdate, License: dual MIT and GPL)
by Adam Shaw is a wrapper around
Date that provides
improved date parsing, formatting, and manipulation. XDate format
strings really help with
formatting dates, which I find myself doing a lot lately in Node or
single page applications.
Here's an example of XDate's formatting method:
new XDate(2011, 0, 1, 6, 0).toString('d/M/yy h(:mm)TT');
Another useful feature of this library is the set of XDate diffing
methods. They provide a friendly API
around date subtraction.
Most of XDate's methods return an
XDate, so it's chainable
d1 = new XDate();
d2 = d1.clone()
The JavaScript BigInteger Library
(GitHub: silentmatt / javascript-biginteger,

JavaScript. The author has written detailed blog posts on how the
library works and the algorithms behind it:
If you look at the source, you'll probably notice that I'm actually using base 10000000, not base 10. I'm using decimal in these examples because it makes things clearer but everything works pretty much exactly the same way in any base. Using a larger base just makes things more efficient because you get 7 digits in each array entry.

Logan Mankins and Nick Kaczur represent
the starting left side of the New England Patriots offensive line. Along with
reserve defensive tackle Santonio Thomas, the team came away with three
solid players from last years event. The
Denver Broncos are also relying on a pair of former Shrine veterans.
Starting cornerback Dominique Foxworth and reserve cornerback Karl Paymah both excelled in the 80th Shrine Game last year. Chris Kemoeatu,
a reserve offensive guard for the Steelers, also impressed scouts when the game was in San
Francisco a year ago.
the NFC several rookies who participated in the 2005 Shrine week are now helping playoff
teams. Seahawks starting strong side linebacker Leroy Hill has led
a rejuvenated defensive movement in Seattle. Stefan LeFors is
Carolina's third string quarterback. And though no longer listed as the
team's starter, no rookie had a greater impact on their team than Kyle Orton did fro Chicago this past season.
Other teams also relied on rookies that played in last years Shrine Game. Michael Roos started all season at offensive tackle for the Tennessee Titans. Philadelphia Eagles running back Ryan Moats, a junior when he played in the '05 Shrine Game, was impressive in late season action. Jay Ratliff played well for the Cowboys defensive line rotation. Fred Amey did enough to earn himself a roster spot on the 49ers next season while Ryan Fitzpatrick started several games for the Rams when their veterans were injured.
So who are the prospect on the radar screen once practices begin in earnest Monday morning?
The East Team
Wisconsin receiver Jonathan Orris a physically gifted athlete who showed minimal consistency in college. A big week could push him up draft boards.
Leon Washington was a highly rated running back coming into the season. Yet a porous Florida State offensive line and terrible passing game was part-n-parcel to the disappointing campaign suffered by the Seminole ball carrier. Washington needs a big post-season to jump back into the draft's top 75 selections and his opportunity starts tomorrow.
Ohio cornerback Dion Byrum flashed big play ability all season, being the difference-maker in several games. Byrum has the opportunity to prove to NFL scouts '05 was no fluke as he'll be pitted against several outstanding receivers all week.
Jason Spitz has been a dominant offensive lineman for several seasons now. Holding down the guard position at Louisville for three years, Spitz will be able to show his versatility by playing center. Good performances will only enhance his draft value.
Considered the top I-AA prospect in next April's draft, Cornell's Kevin Boothe was a devastating blocker on the small school level. He needs to prove he can handle a step up in competition at the offensive tackle position.
The West Team
After an exceptional first campaign at BYU, game breaking wide out Todd Watkins took a step back as a senior. A receiver with the ability to stretch opposing defenses, a good week of Shrine practices could get Watkins back in the good graces of NFL scouts.
This year's new internet icon, Abilene Christian's Danieal Manning, possesses the size\speed numbers which legends are made of. Yet no one is quite sure what Manning's best NFL-position is. A junior invited to the game, Manning needs a big week of football to impress scouts.
A former tight end at Oklahoma, Chris Chester did an outstanding job last year after moving to the offensive line. Effectively handling both the guard and center positions despite a knee injury, Chester's draft stock has been on a straight-shot north since September. Good performances in San Antonio could push him into the draft's first day.
Another who stood out in his first year on the offensive line was TCU tackle Michael Toudouze. Doing a terrific job on the blind-side all year, Toudouze could continue to improve on a splendid senior season against some of college football's better pass rushers next week.
TFY's Coverage of Shrine Week
Starting Monday, premium subscribers of Scout.com can look forward to daily coverage of the goings-on everyday in San Antonio.
Practice reports will be available from both the East and West side every afternoon. Breakdowns of those who impressed and those who disappointed will be posted Monday-through-Wednesday.
Every night the practice reports will be followed-up with a look at which players NFL teams are concentrating on as well as the rumors swirling at the Shrine Game and any other breaking news.

Buy Electric Cigarettes – Not sure you want to quit smoking yet.
Buy Electric Cigarettes – Not sure you want to quit smoking yet.
Look at Electric Cigarettes. They feel like a real cigarette as you inhale. The end lights up just like the real thing. The best part is that they put no combustible material in your body every time you light up. You will be able to smoke these everywhere, they are only vapor with no odor. In NY the tax is killing us and Cigarettes are fast approaching $10.00 a pack. Don't support the government at the tune of over $300.00 a month. Check out your option of Electric Cigarettes. Reduce smoking cost by 75%!
It's Time for Electric Cigarettes .
For smokers, it couldn't have been a moment sooner. You now have an option that feels, tastes, and satisfies just like your favorite cigarette, only this new option is about a million light years ahead of what you are smoking now.
- There's No Smoke
- Bye to Chemicals
- No Tar
- No Odor
- Bye to second hand smoke
- Pick how strong you like it
It's Technology: Your electronic cigarette starter kit comes with a full pack of electric cigarettes that actually recharge their lithium ion batteries while in the pack. It's plug and use at it's best, as the pack can be plugged into any outlet or USB port, when you are ready to charge up. One electronic cigarette cartridge is the equivalent of 7 cigarettes, and your pack can carry 5 cartridges plus the batteries, which means… one electric cigarette pack is the equivalent of almost 2 packs of traditional smokes.
How Do Electric Cigarettes Save You Money?
They are 75% Cheaper than traditional cigarettes!
The "carton" of cartridges you buy contains 25 cartridges. Each cartridge is the equivalent of 7 cigarettes. This means a carton is about 175 cigarettes and costs $25.00 total all inclusive including the shipping. *However, each cartridge gets you 100 puffs (14-15 per cigarette) where a normal cigarette may get you 10-12. So quantity is about even… say 200 cigarettes worth either way, carton to carton, because you get slightly more puffs per cigarette.
Buy electronic cigarette starter packs for all of your loved ones. You're getting much more than just an electric cigarette. You're getting cutting edge technology that will change your lifestyle, and quite possibly your life… you bet, and it will save you quite a bit of money as well. Do yourself a favor and buy electric cigarette kits today!

Gynaecological Ultrasonography
Posted on December 18, 2011
Although it is most frequently associated with antenatal scans, ultrasound, as a safe, non-invasive and widely available diagnostic tool, also plays an important role in gynaecological examinations outside of pregnancy. Particularly important is its ability to show soft tissue and differentiate between different tissue types. Common gynaecological ailments such as pelvic pain or vaginal bleeding are often investigated using ultrasonography in order to determine their cause, and it is also utilised in diagnosing causes of infertility as well as tracking the progress of infertility treatments. A gynaecologist can use ultrasonography to diagnose a number of conditions, such as ovarian cysts, fibroids and cancers.
Two types of examination are generally used by radiographers and sonographers working in gynaecology. The first is a transabdominal scan, a procedure similar to an antenatal pregnancy scan, which is often able to produce high quality images, especially of the bladder, cervix, uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes. The patient lies face up on an examination table, and a gel is applied to the skin in order to improve the transmission of ultrasound waves from the transducer into the body. However, if this does not produce a sufficiently high resolution or detailed image of the reproductive organs, then a transvaginal scan can be employed to compliment the transabdominal results. This involves using a specially designed transducer that can be inserted into the vagina in order to get closer to the uterus and ovaries, requiring a less penetrating and higher resolution ultrasound frequency as the distance is reduced, producing much more detailed images of the pelvic organs. A transvaginal scan is most commonly employed when seeking to diagnose problems with the cervix and uterus, and is significantly less invasive and uncomfortable than a manual gynaecological examination. Most women report the procedure to be painless. However, the fallopian tubes do not normally show up on a transvaginal scan, and must be imaged transabdominally.
As ultrasound scanning works best when imaging tissues with a significant liquid content, an accurate ultrasonographical image of the inside of the uterus can be obtained by filling it with fluid. This is often used in conjunction with transvaginal scanning to diagnose uterine deformities and abnormalities, such as neoplasms, Asherman's syndrome, endometrial atrophy and polyps. This procedure is referred to as sonohysterography, and is commonly employed by gynaecologists when diagnosing the causes of infertility. In order to achieve similar results when scanning the bladder, patients are requests to try to retain its contents.

Activists Heard! Senate Committee Boosts Lupus Research Funding
Senate Appropriations Committee approves a draft of the fiscal year (FY) 2014 Labor-Health and Human Services-Education appropriations bill.
October 20, 2011
(Washington, DC) - The Lupus Foundation of America (LFA) is pleased to announce the 2011 Gina M. Finzi Memorial Student Fellowship Program grantees. This unique program seeks to cultivate an interest in lupus research among young investigators by supporting basic, clinical, and psychosocial research studies under the supervision of an established investigator. These five awardees, chosen through a rigorous review process, join the ranks of the more than 200 Finzi Student Fellows that the LFA has funded for more than 25 years.
The five 2011 award recipients are:
Nashla Barroso, University of California, Los Angeles David Geffen School of Medicine (Los Angeles, CA)
Genetic Association of Bone Mineral Density in SLE Patients on Glucocorticoids
Thomas J. Covey, State University of New York at Buffalo (Buffalo, NY)
White Matter Integrity and Working Memory Dysfunction in SLE
Lindsey E. Harward, Duke University Medical Center (Durham, NC)
Ovarian Reserve in Women with Autoimmune Disease Treated with Cyclophosphamide
Taylor Teplitzky, Yale University School of Medicine (New Haven, CT)
"Extrafollicular Helper T Cells in Lupus"
William Yuen, Hospital for Sick Children (Toronto, Ontario Canada)
Target of Autoantibodies in Congenital Heart Block Pregnancies
This one-of- a-kind award program was established by former LFA President Dr. Sergio Finzi in honor of his daughter Gina, who passed away from lupus. Participants in this valued fellowship program have produced numerous publications in respected peer-reviewed journals, gone on to earn M.D. and Ph.D. degrees, and have become medical practitioners and academic researchers.
The LFA's National Research Program: Bringing Down the Barriers™, is dedicated to addressing research issues that have for decades obstructed basic clinical, epidemiological, behavioral, and translational lupus research. The LFA's approach to research is unique because it directs its funding to areas where gaps exist in the understanding of lupus, and to promising areas of study that are underfunded. Using a three-pronged strategy, the LFA and its national network are committed to advancing the science and medicine of lupus by: leading special initiatives and forging collaborative efforts among stakeholders to address critical issues to advancing the science and medicine of lupus; funding research to close the gaps in lupus research; and advocating for expanded investment in research from public and private sources. For more information about the LFA's National Research Program, visit www.lupus.org/research.

Kalpesh Patel, the brain and brawn behind ProCricket soldiers on.
Kalpesh Patel is the brain (and the brawn) behind ProCricket, the professional league created with the aim of bringing cricket to mainstream America.
The ProCricket league, comprising 8 teams, officially began its regular season on July 2, 2004 in New York. It has since held thirteen matches in temporarily retrofitted minor league baseball parks in six cities across the United States, using the three-hour Twenty20 format.
In Houston for the Chicago Tornadoes vs. Texas Arrowheads matchup, Kal Patel spoke to Little India about the target audience's response to ProCricket, reactions of the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to the new league, and his future plans.
What made you take this bold decision of trying to introduce cricket to America?
We did some Gallup polls to get an understanding of what can be done, and we believe that this is something that will be successful.
How has the response been so far to the new initiative?
So what kind of feedback are you getting from the spectators?
What they don't know is that my business plan allows me to have empty stadiums for three years and we will still continue. After three years if I see empty seats, then something has gone horribly wrong.
The positive responses are phenomenal. "We love this game." "We love the fact that this game is only three hours, that it is in a professional facility, that the amenities are good, that you have concession stands." I am happy with the fact that whatever the turnover - 200, 500 or 2000 - the ratio is such that there are always 20-30 percent white Americans who have never watched cricket before.
What is it, in your opinion, that will attract Americans to these cricket matches?
Which network is that?
Did you have difficulty roping in international players?
It was difficult but not very difficult. We approached them through their agents. We had exactly 104 committed players who wanted to participate in this league, ranging all over England, West Indies, Zimbabwe, Kenya, India, Australia, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. But we realized we needed a set of players who were ticket sellers, people who appeal to the fans, like Franklin Rose, who is an outstanding character.
Then Colin Miller, another phenomenal character. He is known as Colin 'Funky' Miller. He sometimes dyes his hair to match the color of his uniform. These are the kind of players we got in, so we can get families to come and watch. But then along came the issue of the BCCI, which actually tarnished everything.
Even after this, S K Nair (secretary of the BCCI) sent out a letter saying any player participating in ProCricket in America will have to face severe consequences. This included Ranji players, players who were never going to make the Indian team because they were too old, even players that were fourth string on the Ranji team.
If that is the case, why do you think the BCCI reacting like this?
So there are absolutely no Indian players here in the U.S. now?
What exactly is the stand of the United States of America Cricket Association (USACA)?
How did you manage to get Anshuman Gaekwad involved? What is his role in your organization?
How are the international players assigned to the different teams? Are they contracted to a particular team?
So how do they like the experience of playing this form of cricket on this kind of stage?
Where do you see yourself over the next few years?
Like I said earlier, my business plan is for three years. It is not a two-month plan. It is actually a 10-year plan, just like any other business. We have a lot of people lined up for sponsorships. But we are waiting for the product to be complete. After the end of the third year, I may have to see some returns from the tickets. At the end of the third year, based on my plan, I expect about 40 precent of the crowd to be mainstream American spectators. The way we are going to market it, I am confident we will be able to get there. Incidentally, we have also been approached by Fox World International to broadcast our matches in South America, Australia, England, Hong Kong and parts of Africa.

So the vacuum advance amount becomes less and less as the throttle is opened.
Un-ported vacuum shows the advance mechanism manifold pressure from the moment the engine fires. To that end vacuum advance is present at idle but otherwise functions as outlined in the first paragraph. This can help a low compression engine or a long cammed engine to idle and transition to mid throttle more smoothly.
There really isn't a right or wrong here, it's more studying what the engine as it's installed in the vehicle likes best.
This is the best explanation I've seen here. The only difference between mainfold and ported vacuum is that the former is taken below the throttle blades and the latter is taken from a port (hence the term) just above the throttle blades. As soon as the throttle is opened enough to uncover the ports, manifold and ported vacuum are exactly the same. The only difference is when the throttle is closed. As pointed out, depending on how the engine and the distributor are set up, you want one or the other.
What hasn't been pointed out is that ported vac advance really came into favor in the late 1960s as an easy way to control NOx emissions at idle. By preventing the vac advance from working, the combustion was less efficient and NOx was reduced. This same concept is why cars of the late 60s and early 70s had Transmission Controlled Spark. The vac advance was disabled in all gears except top gear to further reduce NOx. Since this tended to make the car run hotter, these systems also had a temperature controlled valve that would bypass the TCS and run full manifold vacuum to the distributor in the event that the car was about to overheat. Note also that this disabling of the vac advance was the concept behind the "NOx device" that was required to be retrofitted to 66-70 cars in the state of California.

Why I love VSAN!
I receive a lot of questions about VSAN, how it relates to PernixData FVP and if it will impact PernixData in any way.
In my opinion VSAN corroborates the architectural shift away from monolithic storage designs. The move away from storage arrays being the natural object to provide both storage performance and capacity to the virtual infrastructure. It's another voice telling that there are different ways of providing storage services to your virtual infrastructure. And its great to see many people reconsidering the current design paradigm. And thats what I love about VSAN, now let's take a closer look at the solutions both products provide, their similarities and their differences.
VSAN is similar to PernixData from a design perspective, providing a scale out solution in the compute layer. Both PernixData FVP and VSAN operate at the correct place, at the hypervisor kernel level. By operating at kernel level, both solutions scale out natively at kernel and cluster level, reduce management overhead and provide operation simplicity.
True scale out storage performance
Scale out should be applied where it's required and the natural layer is the compute layer. As new workloads are introduced, architects look at the compute layer to expand their pool of compute resources, CPU and memory. The missing part up to this point was storage performance. With the success of acceleration platforms such as FVP it is clear that storage performance should be considered as an integral part of the compute layer when designing your environment. Up to now, buying boatloads of capacity with the goal to provide performance was considered to be storage scale out. By placing a clustered solution that harness the power of flash provides the correct tool for the job at the correct place. Storage arrays can still be used for what they were designed for initially, storing data and providing other data services such as replication and snapshotting.
Where both solutions differ
The reason why VSAN does not impact FVP directly is that VSAN provides a persistent data store layer to store virtual machines. Using VSAN either forces you to move the current virtual machines from your current storage array or place new virtual machines on this new datastore.
FVP does not create a persistent storage layer. It does not require you to change the configuration of current virtual machines and new virtual machines are still stored on the storage array.
FVP decouples the performance requirements from the capacity requirements from storage arrays. This means that the path to the performance layer is short, where it matters (application to flash resources), and the path to the storage layer is longer which becomes transparent to the application.
FVP leverages server flash and clustered services to provide storage performance where it belongs; at the compute layer.

Discussion in 'Now Playing - TV Show Talk' started by Steveknj, Oct 11, 2013.
I have a teenage girl.....Accurate!!
I did enjoy this episode and really loved the final video for the date site.
Still enjoying this, waiting for the cancellation/hiatus ax to fall.
Testify, brother.
Latest prediction from the Cancellation Bear:
ABC: 'Trophy Wife' Is Certain To Be Canceled
Too bad, as I enjoy this show. It's not "A" material, but it's entertaining.
I'd hate for it to be cancelled. It consistently gets a laugh out of me.
"The Iron Man". Good stuff.
There are so many sit coms now that aren't nearly as good as this. Maybe it's the time slot.
The Halloween episode was great- what a shame this show probably won't make it
Really sad if this does get canceled. It is a fun show.
Not hilarious, but one of the few sitcoms this year to have survived with SP intact. Dads and Precinct 9-9 or whatever it's called are the only other two I can think of at the moment. (But I *DID* keep SPs for a couple of the cancelled already ones to catch burnoffs next summer.)
Aw, damn. I enjoy this show too. Some really great characters.
Halloween show was fun, although the horse/woman costume was kind of creepy (creepy/funny, though).
Wife #2 and her kid are favs of mine.
The Ironing Man.
That made me LOL.
Oh, and the Queen Elizabeth I costume was very well done.
Funny that the young girl didn't recognize Elizabeth, and wife #2 had no idea who Beance is. I'm proud that I know both, even tho I have no idea how to spell Biance.
Morton Downey has a son?
Beyoncé once had a fiancé.
Well, thankfully, we can stop worrying- show was picked up for the full season
I'm not sure I'd ever trust a prediction from the Cancellation Bear!!
Show picked up for rest of the season. I guess it made sense to predict it was a goner, it's lead in is nowhere as strong as the other sitcoms.
I loved the Halloween episode. Ironing Man cracked me up!!
The Cancellation Bear is amazingly accurate on these matters. But not perfect.
Here they analyze why they were wrong, and some potential game-changers (like ABC Studios vs 20th C-Fox):
Just so you know, I was kidding about "the Bear" It just seems such a weird name.
It's sad that I look at that list and most of the shows I watch are in "Cancellation Predicted"

Ready to eat an entire bag of Halloween candy? You might be able to resist temptation tomorrow morning.
A new study published in the journal Psychological Science indicates self-control diminishes as the day wanes, making people more likely to lie, cheat, and even eat more later.
"One analogy talks about self-control as a muscle. Over the long term, the longer you exercise self-control the stronger it becomes," said co-author Isaac Smith, a doctoral student at the University of Utah's David Eccles School of Business."If you exert it, but you don't replenish it, that muscle is weaker ... You'll be more likely to demonstrate lapses in self-control."
Previous studies have documented the effect in people who are unusually exhausted, but Smith's work with Maryam Kouchaki of Harvard University showed it can happen in just a day.
"We found the unremarkable experiences of everyday living can lead to this effect, which people might not suspect," he said.
They developed the theory as they watched subjects in other ethical studies, like the effect of speed or inspiration on morality, make more bad decisions later in the day.
The researchers tested the concept with four experiments involving a total of 265 people. In one, they found people who could earn more money by fibbing were 50 percent more likely to lie in a message to a virtual partner in the afternoon. In another experiment involving an unsolvable number-matching problem, the number of liars jumped from 2.5 in 10 in the morning to 4.5 in 10 in the afternoon.
The researchers also found people were more likely to pick up a celebrity magazine, People, over a more serious publication, the New York Review of Books, in the afternoon. While 41 percent of morning readers went for the gossip, that portion grew to 59 percent in the afternoon.
The effect seems to be more pronounced in people who are generally disposed to making good moral decisions. People who can "morally disengage," or avoid feeling guilty for unethical behavior, didn't tend to change based on time of day.
"Unfortunately, it might be that the most honest people … are most susceptible," Smith and Kouchaki wrote. "In other words, our findings suggest that mere time of day can lead to a systematic failure of good people to act morally."
For businesses, the takeaway might be to watch consumers or employees more carefully for bad moral decision-making in the afternoon. For regular people, it might be to plan a workout in the morning and hide the Reese's in the afternoon.

50 Cent Prank Calls Shyne
A few months ago Shyne threw a sloppy shot at 50 Cent on his freestyle over Alicia Keys' 'Un-Thinkable (I'm Ready).' The formerly incarcerated rapper called out 50, rhyming, "I need a couple million, f— 50 Cents," but the G-Unit CEO didn't seem too keen on entertaining Shyne's beef. Instead, Lloyd Banks had 50's back, calling Shyne 'wack' for dissing his boss, but now it seems that the Queens rapper has finally decided to get his revenge.
Shyne hosted a live Ustream conference call with Def Jam Records on Wednesday (Aug. 11) and 50 decided to interrupt the session with a prank call — Bart Simpson style. Naturally, 50 also recorded the entire episode, for our viewing pleasure. Watch 50 Cent dial into Shyne's Def Jam conference call, pretending to be a caller named Sean, who opens with the question, "What is your real issue with 50?"

Now comes the next question, and I have no experience in the rev limiter dept, so bear with me on this one. This particular outdrive needs the motor to "stutter" a little bit when going from drive to neutral. Now the shift cable has this little system that if the cable is under tension (like when you are trying to get from drive to neutral and it wont release) it senses the tension and throws a switch until the tension is off. I can either take this switch to a ground, or to a + source, or whatever. I have heard myths of there being a module that will sit in this dizzy, and will advance incrementally and then to activate the shift stutter thingie they just hook +12v to the switch and connect that to the 0 degree jumper so that at idle, when the drive is pushed into neutral and it needs a little shake it will send the dizzy to 0 degrees, dip the revs and the drive will slip out of gear. SO
Is there a way to get an aftermarket rev limiter and have it drop a cyl or 2 and tie it to the switch so that when the switch activates, it drops a cyl or 2 until the switch senses that the pressure is off and turns it off. This is a microswitch, so I could change it out to be on when the pressure is on, OR have it so that the switch is off when the pressure is on. Right now, when coming in to the dock, I have to shut the engine off to get from drive to neutral. Will a rev limiter or a stutter box allow itself to be "tripped" when the motor is at idle? Again, i would ask in a boating forum, but those guys tend to buy their way out of their problems, and seeing as I call myself the garbage pikker I like to tinker and figure it out.

Would You Like To Ask A Question?


text: Ok, this is just a hypothetical question but also one that could take place in the future. Lets say your sitting at home watching a movie and a knock comes to the door. You look out the window, peephole, etc. and see LEO's standing outside. As you open the door they say Mr. xxxxx we understand you are a gun owner and CCW licensee. As part of the new laws we are going to have to ask you to relinquish your firearms. How would you respond to such a request? Just something that came to mind the other day and i was debating whether or not to post. Give me your thoughts. :comeandgetsome:
