CINCINNATI -- Dusty Baker is fed up -- and apparently, he let his players know it.
Baker spoke with the Cincinnati Reds after they made three baserunning blunders and outfielder Drew Stubbs lost track of the number of outs in a 5-0 loss to the San Diego Padres on Saturday.
But he did not participate in his usual postgame session with the media.
"Dusty's upset, and rightfully so," third baseman Scott Rolen said when told Baker didn't talk with reporters after the Reds had a season-low four hits while being shut out for the first time this season.
"He's not happy with what's going on on the field. We're not either," Rolen said.
Adrian Gonzalez homered for the second straight day, Wade LeBlanc pitched three-hit ball over six innings and the Padres won their eighth straight.
Will Venable also connected and Yorvit Torrealba added a two-run double to help send the Reds to their eighth loss in 10 games.
LeBlanc (1-0), making his second start since being recalled from Triple-A Portland on April 18, walked two and struck out three.
"He mixed his pitches up," said Rolen, who went 0 for 3. "That's what he set out to do and he accomplished it."
"Wade threw really well," San Diego manager Bud Black said. "He mixed his pitches properly and effectively."
Luke Gregerson retired all six batters he faced and Edward Mujica allowed a hit in the ninth to finish the Padres' third shutout of the season.
LeBlanc retired Cincinnati's first eight batters before Johnny Cueto popped up a bunt that fell between the mound and first base for a hit. Drew Stubbs followed with an infield single, but Cueto -- anticipating an out -- wandered off second base and was tagged out.
That was the first of three Reds to make baserunning errors. Brandon Phillips ended the fourth inning and Jonny Gomes the fifth by being caught stealing, LeBlanc to first baseman Gonzalez to second baseman David Eckstein.
"I don't usually have a good pickoff move," LeBlanc said. "That was good strategy from the coaching staff. They made the calls from the bench."
Stubbs, Cincinnati's center fielder, caught Kyle Blanks' routine fly ball and threw it into the stands, even though it was only the second out of the sixth inning. Nobody was on base at the time.
The usual postgame 10-minute closed clubhouse period lasted an extra three minutes and a member of the team's media relations department who usually is immediately allowed into the clubhouse waited in the lobby.
"We haven't played good baseball the last couple of days," Rolen said. "It's time for us to start taking care of ourselves. We're trying. It just didn't look that way today."
Cueto (0-1) lasted six innings and picked up his first decision in four starts. The Padres reached him for seven hits and five runs. He walked one and struck out five.
The Padres winning streak is their longest since winning 10 in a row last May 15-25.
Gonzalez gave San Diego a 1-0 lead with an opposite-field homer to left-center on an 0-1 pitch with two outs in the first inning, his fifth of the season and fifth in San Diego's last six games against the Reds, all at Cincinnati and dating back to last season.
"Gonzalez has good power to the opposite field," Black said. "We've seen it at home and on the road."
Chase Headley doubled and Venable walked to lead off the fourth inning. One out later, Torrealba lined a double into the left-center field gap for a 3-0 lead.
Venable followed Chase Headley's single with his fourth homer of the season, a 405-foot shot into the right field seats on a 2-2 pitch in the sixth. Venable improved to 4 for 5 with two home runs and five RBI in his career against Cueto.
- Gonzalez tied Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn Sr. for fourth place on San Diego's career home run list with 135. Dave Winfield, also in the Hall of Fame, is third with 154.
- Padres RHP Chris Young, who is on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right shoulder, is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Monday in Florida. He reported no problems after a four-inning simulated game in the bullpen before Friday's game. Young is eligible to be activated.

Prada's Localized Product Collection
Luxury brand looks to engage with quality, local products.
In the age of freight liners, airplanes and the Internet, it seems that we can get almost anything at anytime. The flip side of such a situation, is that many products are often mass produced, whereby they have no relationship to their country of origin. This is, of course, evident in even the luxury market where many products are made with materials from their home country but with the labor from somewhere else.
In an attempt to focus on products that exemplify such attention to detail by craftsman who understand the history as much as the skill set to create a product, Prada will produce its "Made in" series. Coolhunting reports:
This curious connoisseur's spirit remains at the heart of Prada, and translates into a sort of antidote to homologation and globalization so often seen among its competitors. Using Mario's original approach, Prada collaborates with many different artisans to produce its designs utilizing the traditional craftsmanship, materials, and manufacturing techniques of a specific region.
This tactic will be soon explicit in the new "Made in…" project, a series of local products with special labeling declaring the origin of each piece.
What type of products is Prada looking to produce? Examples include jeans from Japan, kilts from Scotland, and alpaca wool knitwear from Peru.

Nov. 10, 2013
Head Coach Paul Chryst
Opening statement:
"That was a good win. I appreciate what the players and coaches did. We were able to do enough things tonight to win. It was a great atmosphere and it was fun. I know it fueled our kids."
On the performance of the entire team:
"I thought all units did a heck of a job and contributed, and that's what makes this one feel good."
On the defense coming up big:
"Defensively, we had the two big picks by Ray Vinopal and obviously key stops. We were able to do the job stopping them on third downs."
On the performance of the offense and the rushing game:
"Offensively, we were able to run the ball enough and took care of it. We were as good on our third downs as you'd like to be. I thought James Conner ran hard. He was dominant at the goal line. I thought Isaac Bennett ran hard as well. We were able to run the ball enough so that it didn't just become a passing game."
On the performance of the special teams:
"We had a big return by Lafayette Pitts. I thought our coverage units did a good job for the most part."
On Tom Savage's performance:
"I don't think we learned anything new about him - it's kind of who he is. It's how he's been. He wasn't perfect. I thought he made some big throws. He competed and that kind of rubs off on the rest of the team. I thought he did a lot of good things."
On using the win as momentum for the next game (vs. North Carolina):
"We've got to enjoy tonight and tomorrow and take it and go forward. It was a good win to get. We'll play out the year and see what happens."
Quoting Wide Receiver Devin Street
On the team playing with a lead:
"It was just about finishing. The game's not over until it's over, until the final second clicks down. That was the biggest word today, finish, and don't wait. We came out there and played as a total team today and I couldn't be more proud of these guys."
On his game-tying touchdown:
"It was a great dial up by Coach Chryst and we just executed it. It was all about the dial up."
On the atmosphere at Heinz Field:
"It was amazing and the best I have seen so far. I am proud of Pittsburgh and all of the fans."
Quoting Running Back James Conner
On his two touchdowns:
"I knew that I had to get in the endzone. I felt I was running kind of soft earlier in the first half and I decided that I have a big body, and I had to use it to get inside the end zone."
On the overall season:
"This season there have been ups and downs. I missed a couple games and I got hurt at Virginia Tech, and then I didn't get too many carries against Old Dominion or Navy. I felt it was time to get back in the groove and set it back up. The game was on ABC and it was a big stage so I wanted to perform well."
Quoting Quarterback Tom Savage
On the feeling on the sideline during Pitt's game-winning touchdown drive:
"It was a unique experience out there with the guys. We all kind of looked at each other on the sideline and said this is the time. It's time to go out there and answer because I think we were due. It was a lot of fun."
On if the offense was fueled by the performance of the defense:
"Absolutely. It was awesome seeing the guys out there balling out like that. We knew it was our time and our turn to step up for the team and make a play."
On grinding out the win late in the game:
"Our offensive line and running backs did a great job of really running the ball down there and it made it easy for the team and to control the clock. It was fun."
Quoting Defensive Tackle Aaron Donald
On getting the win tonight:
"It felt amazing out there. It was a big-time game and a big-time win. We needed one and we did it today and it was exciting."
On the atmosphere at Heinz Field:
"It was loud and amazing because everybody was on their feet. It was really exciting out there."
On the play of Ray Vinopal:
"I told him big-time players make big-time plays in big-time games and he did that out there for us. I thanked him and gave him a hug and was really excited for him."
Quoting Safety Jason Hendricks
On where this win ranks on his all-time list:
"They all rank at the top, especially when you beat Notre Dame because it's a rivalry game between us. Every time we play them it's a hard game, so I'm glad my team came out and challenged them."
On the performance of Ray Vinopal:
"He played a great game, just a great game. He kept his head up because he gave up a pass but he just kept playing and erased it from his memory and made some big plays for us."
Quoting Safety Ray Vinopal
On how it felt to win tonight's game:
"It's always a pretty big deal to beat Notre Dame and to see the seniors so happy and emotional after the game, it's what you play for."
On his individual performance tonight:
"The coaches always had a good game plan and all week just feed us tips to put us in the position to make the plays that I made today. I gave up a rough one to the tight end earlier and you have to put stuff like that behind you. Notre Dame's going to make plays; they're a very capable team with great athletes. They all practice and are on scholarship too. I just had to go out there and keep playing every series hard to get the win."
On the atmosphere at Heinz Field:
"It was awesome. Looking up and seeing all those people was awesome. It was primetime and you only get that once and you take those opportunities and hold them close."

Needs Better Rewards For Players
As far as I can tell the place is a good time I'm there everyday since a friend told me to go. The only hitch is at thistledown or the horseshoe you get treated better. I'm a rockstar reward holder and let me tell you that I spent over 500 there last night and I'm only showing 8 or nine points and I had 4 so no good in my opinion. Second, I went today and spent 50 dollars at least I think more like 70 to take part in the spin to win promotion and never came close to being rewarded a spin. There is something wrong with their system and should be adjusted. The staff on the other hand is excellent and are helpful and polite except don't call there and get transferred cause I received a voice message saying they weren't available and leave a message. I mean really? It's close to home but you can't turn your reward credits for cash or free play at the very least so that makes the other two casinos more appealing. I am not a wealthy man but budget recreation money towards gambling and it upsets me to think I'm being rewarded but really I'm getting bs I don't really want . The establishment is beautiful and the staff is excellent but the perks most places give are not there I'm considering cutting up my hall of fame card that who knows how much it cost to win that level player because I feel like they are not interested in keeping the regulars , no matter what they spend too happy.
Hard Rock Casino Northfield Ohio
The staff is excellent and the buffet is awesome there could be a better selection of rewards like trading for freeplay or less points to get the promotions because some of us are not rich and on a budget. The atmosphere is electric and it is a fun time every time I go. Thanks Northfield Hard Rock

Men and Women Go for Different Perks
Men and women share the desire to advance in the work place but the similarities end there.
A new study by Randstad U.S. says there are some interesting differences between the sexes when it comes to reasons that men and women pick new jobs. According to the survey more women care about the location of their job than men do. The study also says women care more about schedule flexibility than men.
Sandra Yancey who is the founder of eWomenNetwork, one of the largest women's networking organizations in the world, says in her experience women want clear goals and expectations, "what women are wanting is the ability to say, what is it that you want from me, what do you want it to look like, how do you define excellence..."
The study did find common ground between the sexes in the interest of advancement. Both men and women care very much about their chances for promotion and higher responsibility.

i feel nothing
My project began as a multi-faceted investigation into the sense of touch: lack of feeling, the relationship between the body and memory; between land and it's "spiritual" history, superstitions, old wives' tales, sacred stones and talismans as once deeply woven within Palestinian identity. 'I Feel Nothing' is a video-poem inspired from these ideas, and from Palestinian and European versions of the fairytale The Handless Maiden as well as from Titian's Noli Mi Tangere combined with extended research on Palestinian sites once believed to have magical or supernatural powers. Metaphorical throughout, a relationship is recounted, though remains ambiguous if it is between a man and a woman, life and death, the past and the present, or an individual and a homeland.

Various details from the work of Melbourne artist Elizabeth Gower
Respected Melbourne artist Elizabeth Gower makes amazing geometric paper-cut artworks using collected printed ephemera, packaging and magazine pages. By re-purposing these remnants of popular culture, Elizabeth explores ideas of consumerism and consumption – a topic she has been inspired by since the 1970's.
In an impressive career spanning over 30 years, Elizabeth has been the recipient of numerous awards and prizes, including grants from the Australia Council and Victorian Ministry for the Arts. Her work has been commissioned for many high profile public buildings including the Melbourne World Trade Centre, MCG and the Sydney Olympics Superdome, and has been acquired by the Art Gallery of New South Wales, National Gallery of Victoria and the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra!
Elizabeth says her works over the past few years have all had different starting points, and are heavily influenced by her surroundings and by travel. 'My last show was Cuttings from New York, made exclusively from papers collected in New York while I had the residency at the Australia Council studio in 2009. The format or design was derived from the gridded layout of Manhattan. Other shows have been Savings, using up all the papers I had saved for over 20 years, or Cuttings from Paris referencing wallpapers from the Musee Carnalvalet on papers collected while at the Cité International des Arts.'
Elizabeth's newest show opens tomorrow at Sutton Gallery in Fitzroy. The exhibition, entitled 'Monochrome', showcases a striking new body of work created entirely from black and white pages sliced from glossy magazines and advertising imagery – well worth a look if you're in Fitzroy this weekend!

- - Stage 2 boost. Problem? (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f51/stage-2-boost-problem-33881/)
Stage 2 boost. Problem?
So last week I went stage 2. It went great and I was pushing out good power. Then a few days ago I boost spiked on the highway. That sucked. I downloaded and installed the low waste gate map. Works fine now. Instead of 18/19 pounds of boost I'm at 16/17 which is whatever. Better than boost spiking. My question is in all gears except 2nd my boost stays around the 16/17 target but in 2nd I can boost up to 19/20. Is this a problem? Is there something wrong?
Is this from an OTS map on the AP?
AP stage 2 no intake LWG
Are you catless?
Yes and its divorced not that thatll make any difference
Catless exhausts are notorious for spiking. Get a cat welded in and do your part for your environment. :D
where to buy a suitable cat that can fit the invidia 3" DP?

My Dog is wimpering when it walks,
He is having issues going up stairs or down, I have checked his pads and they are fine no issues when I push on them, no swelling in his joints, and his range of motion seems to be normal. I just dont see any thing wrong with him, he is not wanting to go outside to do his morning bussiness so I am not sure what the heck it is.

It means you need to take him to a vet. Whimpering, not wanting to move, difficulty in mobility..all indicate an injury or issue.

I agree with Wiley, it's time to take a trip to the vet.
Chase answered on 2/14/13. Helpful? / 0
I agree with the first two answers...it sounds like perhaps a spine issue to me and if it is, he MUST get treatment ASAP as paralysis can easily result from further swelling in the disks, which will then mean expensive surgery and a much more iffy recovery!
I would crate him until I could get him in to the soonest vet appointment available. IF it is a spinal issue, he will need steroids and muscle relaxants as well as strict cage rest until it is healed.
Please take care of this NOW before it becomes more serious!!!

Titan X details: supercomputing takes a jump
This week NVIDIA announced that the total number of CUDA downloads reached a whopping 3 million. Back in 2008, there were 150,000 downloads total. In 2015 there are 319 CUDA apps, far surpassing the number of apps back in 2008 - just 27. NVIDIA CEO and co-founder Jen-Hsun Huang made clear that he was proud of the graphics computing community, suggesting that the jump from 77 supercomputing teraflops back in 2008 to 54,000 supercomputing teraflops globally here in 2015 was a monumental jump. This comes to fruition with 450,000 Tesla GPUs in the world today as well.


text: NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- /Continental Who's Who/ -- Dr. Bob Deutsch is recognized by Continental Who's Who as a Pinnacle Professional in the field of corporate and marketing strategy as a result of his role as Founder and President of Brain Sells, a company dedicated to helping clients reinvent how the story of their products can be crafted to fit into the story people have of their own lives. Dr. Bob Deutsch has often been called a "game changing" thinker. He starts from a primary insight: to be successful you have to know something about the less rational and more associative aspects of your own mind, as well as the mind of your audience. That's as true for a corporate as it is for a person. As a cognitive anthropologist, Bob studies how people bend and blend data and information to fit their emotions and beliefs- this in order to design their own brand of meaning. In doing so, people are translating the world into their world. Bob applies knowledge of his translation process to help brands and the agencies that serve them to develop innovative strategies for success and prosperity. As founder and president of the consultancy, Brian Sells ( www.brain-sells.com), Bob has worked in the primeval forest, in executive office across the globe, and in war rooms on Pennsylvania Avenue and Madison Avenue. Based on three decades of experience on how human nature and the nature of the mind structure the way people "attach" to products, personas, and ideas, Bob's consultation to his clients focuses beyond adapting to the future, to making the future. His unique way of thinking rings true whether your concern is commercial, societal, or political; and whether your focus is innovation, leadership or branding. It's that primal. Bob writes frequently in leading newspapers and magazines about what one sees when casting a primal eye and modernity. He has also appeared in Good Morning America, in a series on why people buy what they buy.

[29 March 2007]
There are two standard phrases in hip-hop that typically grab my attention because, usually (say, 90% of the time), they stand for confidence: (1) "And it goes a lil' somethin' like this" and (2) "And you don't stop". The first generally kicks off a rhyme; the second sometimes ends it. When I hear either of them, I get the feeling the rapper is convinced that the track is the bomb. Well, EV Records presents: Everything opens a 14-track collection with a sample containing the first phrase ("And it goes, and it goes, and it goes a lil' somethin' like this") and, while my little theory might not be a universal truth, it applies well here. EV, the independent and hardworking record label out of Chicago, Illinois, serves a platter of fierce but jazzy tracks coupled with snappy, polished rhymes. With an abundance of skilled underground emcees, the set takes a shot at showing literally everything the label has to offer. Wielding the microphone, you'll find Royce Da 5'9, Longshot, Profound, Diverse, Illogic, Ang13, Modill, Psalm One, Pace One, Thaione Davis, Verb T, Finale, and One Be Lo. On the beats, you get Earmint, Overflo, Copperpot, and K-Kruz. As the saying goes, there's strength in numbers. While it's always a treat to sample a variety of styles and voices, numerosity may lessen the album's cohesiveness. Still, you'll love standouts like "The Mic", "Nightshift", and "Things I Do".

What do you think of HID headlight kits?
2 Attachment(s)
They have come down in price in recent years. Making it almost cheaper to convert to HID headlights than replace the halogens. I got 4 bulbs and 4 igniters at a cost of 50 bucks. plug and play.
The big question is are they cool?
I went with 3k yellow hi and 8k blue low. My car is green and if you step back the yellow and blue blend to green. Here check it out.
I cant see the colors that well :smash:, but wondering how the current draw compares to the halogen ones?
Less power consumption and less heat emitted.
The bulbs color is really subtle.
Well seems like they throw a fair bit of light, thats what I think.
I think they suck and blind everyone on the road, ps conversions are illegal.
I think the idea is seeing in the dark,,,What does the law have to do with it? I would hope he runs only low beam and then has the candle power to light up the back roads with deer blinding HID.
1 Attachment(s)
pic swap, too lazy to find that thread,,,
Those of us on HR.com from Europe would find this laughable as American cars arent bright enough by comparison.
I dont mind the factory HIDs; I don't even mind a well installed 'kit' that is PROPERLY adjusted, but I get really bent when some tunerkid or dork in a jetta with a roof rack rollin on 15s is driving around with HIDs installed and not aligned. Someone in CNY almost lost their life because of a jackhole blinding them in oncoming traffic with improperly installed HIDs
Moral? Legal or not, make sure they're aligned properly
I think those kits are for kids trying to trick out POS cars. No offense to anybody but more often than not it seems like kids are the ones into upgrading their head lights. Hey, more power to them. I personally think normal head lights are fine.
The authorities state it is illegal to change the color beyond 8000 kelvin as the headlights become a blue color. Only emergency vehicles can have blue lights.
The HID used is the stock GM 35wt not 55.
It is illegal to drive in the city with the brights on. Hid or not.
Most kids have the clear alteeza? headlight housings, this changes the bulb location and sometimes has a reflector system. They also look cheap.
The integra has the factory projector headlight housing without mirrors to reflect the light sideways or whatever.
It is the same brightness as my neighbors audi or benz on the other side.
If you get a bulb out , and you want to replace it with HID kit, it is legal. Just follow the limitations of the law. The cost is very similar to halogen now.
NOT MORAL, your kidding right?
So they died because the headlight were too bright . That is awesome.
No disrespect meant. The story is not believeable. The momentarily blinded driver CAME BACK TO LIFE to issue the complaint that the lights were bright?
Did they hire a psychic to communicate with the dead to find out what caused the accident ?
Did the involved/passengers speculate on what the problem was, I think so.
It is a good story. There is an investigation team who finds which party is at fault. Then the party at fault has to blame it on something.
My friend Dan is just the opposite. He will only turn his headlights on if the streetlights are. He drives a dark colored car, and in the city the lights are timed. They don't have photo sensors. He has been creamed twice. It just isn't right.
HID conversions are ILLEGAL in all 50 states. The reason is that An HID requires a projector style housing to focus and clip the light beam as they broadcast a flood of light .
Now if you have projector style housings then nevermind.
An HID in a standard housing floods the area in front of the car, you can see well but oncoming traffic is Dazzled with light and cannot see.
Try them and see. The Cops will let you know. rolly better to stop one and ask before you get the ticket.
Yes they are projectors.
Do you have a link to the federal 50 state law targeting hid conversion ? I would like to show somebody. When I enquired they decribed color as the illegal factor.
I believe we had similar concerns and conversations when halogen lights came into favor in the 70's ... remember cibie, hella and bosch conversion kits?
It was really easy to spot a cop car coming towards you on a secondary highway, as they were the first, it seemed, to install them. :D
Hmmm, I wonder if they also had this conversation when "motorcars" first adopted "electric lighting"? :mwink:

African Union accuses ICC prosecutor of bias
By Richard Lough
ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - African countries support the International Criminal Court (ICC) but its chief prosecutor is guilty of double standards, the chairman of the African Union Commission said on Saturday.
Jean Ping's comments came a day after Africa's foreign ministers threw support behind Kenya's bid to defer the trials of key suspects accused of masterminding the ethnic bloodshed that followed a disputed election in 2007.
That vote, although still to be rubber-stamped by heads of state, is expected to embolden the east African nation to ask the U.N. Security Council -- which helped set up The Hague-based court -- to invoke article 16 and defer or suspend the cases.
"We Africans and the African Union are not against the International Criminal Court. That should be clear," Ping told a news conference at an African Union summit in Ethiopia.
"We are against Ocampo who is rendering justice with double standards," he said, referring to ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo.
The ICC's active cases all target crimes against humanity committed in the African states of Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, Uganda and Kenya.
"Why not Argentina, why not Myanmar ... why not Iraq?," said Ping.
Moreno-Ocampo has rejected criticism from African states, saying the ICC is only a court of last resort for countries that are either unable or unwilling to try suspects themselves. Continued...

Flower senses that one era is ending in Australia with a "fresh cycle" about to begin for England's Test team, and he wants to be part of it.
Flower acknowledges that, for England to start to revisit the glories he oversaw in three previous successive Ashes series victories and a rise to the top of the International Cricket Council world rankings, urgent action is needed.
"I do think that some things have to change, because I do think this is the ending of a certain era for this team - and after Sydney it will be the start of some fresh cycle in some way," he said.
"I'd like to carry on. I love exciting challenges. I would have the appetite to do that.
"I still have confidence in my ability to lead this group in the right direction."
Flower cited Graeme Swann's retirement after three Tests and Jonathan Trott's departure after the first match with a stress-related illness as two signposts that change is afoot.
An unsuccessful campaign will hit rock bottom if England succumb to a fifth consecutive Test defeat in Sydney to suffer a second Ashes whitewash in three tours - and only the third in the long history of their battles with Australia.
But he has nonetheless already made it clear his current intention is to remain as coach in an effort to regenerate the team alongside captain Alastair Cook. Flower is chastened by events but not yet at the end of his tether after England's latest embarrassment - an eight-wicket defeat at the MCG, conjured up out of nowhere from a promising position in yet another hapless collapse against the bowling of Mitchell Johnson.
"I am not demoralised actually," he said.
"I am very disappointed, but I am very hungry to succeed - starting in Sydney."
He has faith too in his fellow coaches and other specialists who helped to plot England's rise, before their fall.
"I'm very confident in (them)," he added.
"They've done an excellent job over the years, and I think it would be careless in a way to have a knee-jerk reaction to this Test series loss in that regard."
Changes to playing personnel, terminal in Swann's case, have already taken place.
Flower said: "We have seen Trott disappear at the start of the tour; we have seen Swann disappear after three Test matches - and those have been two absolute stalwarts for us.
"We hope Trott comes back at some stage - we don't know about that - but with the passing of those two stalwarts and some of the results we have got on this tour, I think it is fair to say that post-Sydney the England management should view this as starting afresh."
They will do well to rip up whatever template or text book they were working from in Melbourne.
"(We were in a) position from which we could have dominated the Test match, and the fact we went into our shells was very disappointing," added Flower.
Flower believes there was a collective loss of confidence, after several misadventures against Johnson in particular.
"A lot of these guys have done some outstanding work for England over the last few years - and this series is very obviously not one of those," he said.
"But five-Test series are very testing examinations of yourself and the strength of your team, and no doubt we have been wanting in that regard here.
"It's probably a product of loss of confidence through the series.
"Some of those second-innings dismissals were soft at best - I think we all could see that.
"They haven't forgotten how to win games of cricket.
"But we have been outplayed ... and I think it's fair to say that our batsmen have lost confidence as we have gone through the series."
He is not about to prescribe a lighter touch, as some have advised, in his coaching and man-management methods.
In fact, if the Flower regime does endure it sounds as if it might just be about to get a whole lot tougher.
"If I may say so, I think it's 180 degrees inaccurate," he said of the theory that England may have become too intense for their own good.
"If anything, recently, I think I have relaxed a little in certain ways.
"One of the areas ... we can improve and change I think ... I could bring more intensity and a closer control on certain things."Reuse content

There are many spectacular sights to see in Turkey, as its natural beauty is off the chart, but its museums are quite good as well. There are about 100 public and a 100 private museums in Turkey, and I have barely scratched the surface. The mountains and waterfalls and flowers are hard to beat.

Portfolio manager Martin Pelletier is turning to Twitter Inc. more often these days.
To build better portfolios for his clients at TriVest Wealth Counsel in Calgary, Mr. Pelletier, like an increasing number of investment professionals, scans Twitter feeds published by the likes of fixed-income fund manager PIMCO and hedge fund manager Tim Seymour for broader market insight.
On Twitter, "you're getting more information in a much quicker fashion than you would through more traditional media sources," he said.
As market participants look to social media for more immediate trading triggers, complex algorithms and analytical tools are also under development to gauge changes in investor sentiment on a mass scale.
The demand for such applications may help Twitter squelch skepticism that its free micro-blog model is worth its current $11-billion (U.S.) valuation and opens the door for other social media platforms able to make money off their ability to gauge public sentiment.
For any investors who doubted Twitter's influence on global markets, a tweet sent by The Associated Press at 1:07 p.m. on April 23 served as a lesson. "Breaking: Two Explosions in the White House and Barack Obama is injured," it said. Within seconds the Dow Jones industrial average plummeted and U.S. Treasuries spiked.
Six minutes later, AP confirmed that its tweet was sent by someone who hacked the news outlet's Twitter account. Investors immediately began to reverse positions taken in response to the rogue tweet.
The "hash crash," as the AP incident is now known, came just three weeks after the Securities and Exchange Commission ruled that companies can use social media to make material announcements, rather than issuing press releases. Twitter itself took advantage of the change. The micro-blog service announced its plan to raise up to $1-billion in a tweet that linked to its newly public financial disclosures. Suddenly, social media couldn't be ignored.
Now financial-markets participants are trying to get ahead of the game. "Everybody's trying to figure out what to do with social media information," said Doug Clark, the head of research at ITG Canada, which specializes in electronic trading.
A growing number of companies are trying to help them do just that. Two years ago, financial news and data giant Thomson Reuters, set up a team that specializes in social media. The mission: To build complex algorithms and data mining tools that gauge market sentiment and take cues from the online masses.
"It is not what I said, or you said. It is about what 'we' said," said Asif Alam, the company's head of 'machine readable news.' (The Thomson family, which controls Thomson Reuters, owns 85 per cent of The Globe and Mail.)
Instead of relying solely on analyses from investment advisors, established market strategists or traditional financial media, investors now have electronic tools available to them – such as Thomson Reuters – that can scan Twitter to gauge the sentiments of a large group, and then calculate the impact on affected securities.
The insights gleaned from these analyses could one day be so valuable that there is speculation Twitter may ultimately sell access to the underlying code for its data streams, the same way that TMX Group, the owner of the Toronto Stock Exchange, charges for access to its trading data. Such prospects are especially lucrative for the micro-blog company now that it is going public and needs to be profitable.
Mr. Alam stressed that any benefits come from using more than just one tool. "We really think the value of social media and Internet news is in aggregation," he said. For that reason, the electronic systems his team has set up scans everything from Twitter to Facebook to blogs of knowledgeable investors and academics.
Potential gains from social media mining aren't limited to investors. There is a growing realization that companies can, for instance, use these platforms to help them figure out who their investors are – something that's especially important for a junior mining company that has yet to attract big name money managers.
Dmitriy Mitchev, chief executive officer of Toronto-based Finmaven, which sifts through social and other digital media, said the scope is extremely wide. A former McKinsey consultant with a background in private equity, he launched his startup because of what he believes is a huge knowledge gap between what anyone in capital markets can do with social media, and what they are currently using it for.
Take Mr. Pelletier, who doesn't just use social media as a channel for market intelligence. He and his team post links on Twitter and LinkedIn that they think might attract attention, a strategy that, he claims, has drawn inquiries from potential clients. A recent example: linking to a Barron's story titled "Another 'Groundhog Day' Gain for Stocks" on why shares keep rising depsite weak economic data.
Despite the possibilities, Mr. Clark from ITG said some wariness remains. Professionals understand there is some untapped potential, but they are reluctant to rely on social media too much – especially after events such as the hash crash. Often, 140 characters doesn't explain enough to prompt a sophisticated investor into a position.
"There are going to be retail guys who follow people with big names," such as George Soros or Carl Icahn. "I'm not convinced that that's going to be the smart money." If Mr. Icahn is making a big bet on turning Talisman Energy around, for instance, "I want more than 140 characters to tell me why."
"It's a fascinating area" but "it's too up in the air," Mr. Clark said. "We're watching it from 20 yards away instead of 2 feet away."Report Typo/Error

Ventral Ophthalmic Artery
This variant is extremely rare in the human — a persistent embryonic connection between the area of the anterior communicating artery and the intraorbital ophthalmic — (A) in the diagram below:
A — ventral ophthalmic artery, B — dorsal ophthalmic artery, C — Inferolateral Trunk, D — meningo-ophthalmic artery, E — stapedial artery, F — forerunner of the middle meninigeal artery originating from the stapedial system at this point
Below is an illustration of an incidentally found ventral ophthalmic artery (white arrows). Note opacification of the globe choroid (not labeled)
Stereo pair in frontal oblique position, demonstrating associated A1 segment fenestration (black arrows), an embryologic variant closely tied to the ventral ophthalmic artery — the infraoptic course of the A1
Beautiful stereo pairs
Because ventral ophthalmic represents a persistent communication between the ACOM complex and the ophthalmic artery / ophthalmic segment of the ICA, it also explains the so-called "infraoptic course" of the A1. The A1 which runs underneath, rather than over the optic nerve is nothing more than a segment of persistent ventral ophthalmic artery, in this case associated with "normal" origin of the ophthalmic artery itself. Here is an example of this variant, in a patient with a giant cavernous aneurysm — another testament to aberrant development. The infraoptic A1 / ventral ophthalmic is labeled wit the yellow arrow. The ophthalmic artery arises from the same same segment as the "A1″ — as should be the case if both represent a vestige of the ventral ophthalmic artery. Notice infraoptic course on T2 MRI, and developmental ectasia of the contralateral right A1 (white arrow)
Stereoscopic view of 3D-DSA, from medial to lateral, demonstrating preferential lateral aneurysm expansion and ophthalmic segment anatomy, and the infraoptic ventral ophthalmic / A1 segment. There is also a well-seen mandibulovidian artery (white arrow)
Lateral projection views immediately post Pipeline embolization (top), and 4 months later (bottom). Notice branches of the MHT (purple arrows) which remain open, and are now visible after the aneurysm has disappeared. The mandibulovidian artery is again marked with white arrow.
The following case, courtesy of Dr. Hima Pendharkar, National Institute of Mental Health & Neuro Sciences, Bangalore, India illustrates this connection in a patient with an unusual Moya-Moya variant characterized by occlusion of the carotid artery at the supraclinoid level, just beyond the typical origin of the ophthalmic artery. As a result of this more proximal occlusion, the typical puff of smoke collaterals between the anterior choroidal, superior hypophyseal, and lenticulostriate arteries are unavailable. Instead, one sees a pathway of "typical" ophthalmic (black arrow) to "ventral ophthalmic" ( white arrows) to anterior cerebral artery. In other words, both the typical and ventral ophthalmic arteries are present in this patient, with retrograde ventral ophthalmic flow reconstituting the anterior cerebral artery territory.
Recurrent Meningeal Artery 2: On head CT, aberrant MMA origin can be inferred by absence of foramen spinosum (or a much smaller foramen than contralaterally, attesting to asymmetery in MMA size.) The contralateral foramen spinosum is labeled in blue. The recurrent meningeal artery travels along the sphenoid ridge (orange arrows) and then over the convexity (red arrows)

Whisk Broom II (1907-1928) was American-bred Thoroughbred racehorse who raced in the United Kingdom (under the name Whisk Broom) and in the United States. A grandson of Ben Brush, Whisk Broom II was sired by the U.S. Hall of Fame stallion, Broomstick. He was bred in 1907 by the late Sam S. Brown's Senorita Stud Farm (now the site of the Kentucky Horse Park). Purchased by Harry Payne Whitney, the colt was sent to England with trainer Jack Joyner where in his second start he earned his first win in the Prince of Wales Plate at York Racecourse. In four years of English racing, Whisk Broom won 7 of his 23 races, his most important victories coming in the 1910 Select Stakes and at Ascot Racecourse, the 1912 Victoria Cup Handicap.
At age six, as Whisk Broom II, he was brought back to race in the United States where under trainer James G. Rowe, Sr. he became the first of only four horses to win the three races that compose the New York Handicap Triple Crown Series. He won the New York Handicap Triple in 1913, (Metropolitan Handicap, Brooklyn Handicap, Suburban Handicap), a feat unmatched until Tom Fool did it forty years later. In 1961, Kelso and Fit To Fight in 1984 joined them as the only other horses to win the Handicap Triple. For his performances, Whisk Broom II was voted U.S. Champion Older Male Horse and United States Horse of the Year.
In the Suburban Whisk Broom II, carrying 139 pounds, was officially clocked at 2:00 minutes flat for the one and one quarter mile race. This was almost three seconds faster than the record set by his own sire. No other clocker's figures matched that of the official clock. But even at the slowest estimate, he had beaten the American record for the distance.
Retired to stand at stud, Whisk Broom II sired 26 winners of what now would be a considered a graded stakes race, including Kentucky Derby winner Whiskery, Preakness Stakes winner Victorian, and the 1922 U.S. Champion Colt, Whiskaway, As well, Whisk Broom II was the damsire of Seabiscuit and Double Jay.
In 1979, Whisk Broom II was inducted in the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame.

Lucia Tovar in a Super Revealing Tease
The beautiful and ever bountiful Lucia Tovar is wearing nothing but a mesh outfit that encases all her curves. She still has some fun sexiness to reveal, as she knows it's a lot more than just her sexy outfit that she can do, to keep all eyes on her tempting body.
She bends over, displaying her lovely labia through her outfit. She slips her bottoms off, and opens up her top just right, to show off her sexy nipples. She continues to remove her netted pants, and teases, with them around her ankles, and showing off her toned bootie.
She knows how to show off her luscious body as she stretches and removes each clothing item, with each curve being shown off, just right. The best part of her tease, is what she ultimately does by tucking her outfit in certain naughty places.

She takes the time to show off her sexy body in her dress, even still. She lets her bootie flirt with the hemline of her tiny dress, and teasing with her fingers, as she spreads her wonderfully curvy legs.
She drops the dress, baring breasts once again, and lets it fall down her body. She leans forward on her chair and lets the dress hang on her legs as she slides it down, showing off her perky bootie as it falls.

She teases with her necktie and drops the bra after she gets up from her sexy floor crawl. She drops her bra, and lets the tie drape over her round boobs, in a tantalizing tease of sexy fun.
Happily, she starts to work the skirt off, in a tasty tease of wiggling her hips, and slipping it down her legs in a fabulous fashion, as she shows off her scrumptious bootie in the process. Then she happily moves to remove the necktie, and have some naughty fun, running it between her legs.

So Long and Thanks For All the Pix
Over a year and a half ago, my friend Rosco started telling me about his desire to shoot a cookbook. He used to work for Bruton Stroube doing food photography full time, but after he moved to Kentucky and the years wore on, he found himself pointing his lens at brides and grooms more than knives and spoons. I told him I wanted nothing to do with a cookbook, but if taking pictures of food would scratch the itch, he could drop by my kitchen any time.
He seemed excited, "Yeah! Next time you make something good lookin' gimme a call. I'd love to shoot it."
I just laughed. "Dude, it's my freakin' job. See you tomorrow."
And thus BraveTart was born.
Well. You know. More or less. For our first shoot I showed up with a bunch of cookies. He said, "maybe we'll need some plates?"
I'd never read a food blog before and didn't have the time to start. When we began putting BraveTart together, we didn't have anyone but ourselves in mind. We found ourselves shooting a tart in outer space, half eaten marshmallows hanging from wires and sprinkles raining from the clouds rather than some of the more typical food blog presentations; we had no idea what we were doing.
But I loved what we created together. Having to write a so-called "blog post" gave me a chance to articulate my otherwise unvocalized culinary musings. Rosco could focus on photography without a client, playing with techniques and setups purely for his own entertainment.
We didn't try to be a very good food blog. I wrote long and obnoxious recipes loaded with obscure ingredients. Rosco refused to do anything but take pictures. Neither of us shared quick tips or, well, any tips. We didn't do give-aways or product reviews.
Mostly, we just had fun. It never occurred to us that hanging a sock monkey over pudding could impact our lives.
But without even realizing it, Rosco's photos had become my resume. A virtual stranger offered to let me head up his pastry department because he'd seen my work here. A year later I can still say I've never loved a job more.
And now it's Rosco's turn for some BraveTart serendipity.
The portfolio he built photographing marshmallows, macarons, flying pizzas, and cupcake smudged kids just landed him a job. Last month, Arthur Agency hired Rosco as account manager and in-house photographer. He's since moved out of state to do what he loves best.
It's incredibly bittersweet for me. I'll miss our routine of getting together, lighting things on fire, launching stuff from toasters and arranging food into astronomical configurations. I'll miss his over the top style, more is more philosophy, and willingness to chase turkeys across a field so I could preach the gospel of heritage.
When Rosco broke the news of his impending move, he immediately followed up by encouraging me to call Sarah Jane to see if she'd lend her lens to our Brave cause. And when I started working with Victor, Rosco couldn't wait to meet him for drinks. He never acted possessive of his role as as "blog photographer" even though his hard work has built BraveTart as much as mine.
This isn't the end of Rosco and BraveTart. We have a standing photo date whenever he's back in town. I have a secret stash of Sideshow Photos that I've yet to share. My Serious Eats column will even feature his work later this month.
But for now it's au revoir.
I'd like to make this post like the back page of some culinary year book, filled with messages wishing him well. If you've enjoyed Rosco's photography this past year, tell him here or tweet him @sideshowphoto. I want him to know how many people will miss his incredible work.
I certainly will.

Geez… I'm overwhelmed. My new Ninja Turtle desktop image had me thinking about the blog this morning at work already. I never expected this post to pop up today to top that off.
I can't begin to put into words how much "working" on BraveTart has meant to me. Teaming up on this blog has opened up so many doors for both of us that we never could have predicted. Seriously, Stella, thank you for playing along with me and all my hair-brained ideas for the past year. I can't wait for the next time we get to meet up and do some more.

Dearest Bravest of Tarts,
I have just found your website and am so so giddy that I did. So many good things to look at and to make. Here in Copenhagen macarons are everywhere and I decided to make them myself, which has been basically a part time job for the past two weeks. A job where I was close to firing myself, because I was failing miserably. My batter kept turning out too thick, even with mixing endlessly. I just tried your recipe and TA DA, they are perfect. Underwhiping the eggwhites was my issue, I think. So a heartfelt TAK here from Denmark.
Sep 08, 2011 · 7:39 PM
Oh wow. Just when I found the coolest duo "that" side of the Mississippi you guys are working on the breakup album. I can only imagine how bittersweet it is. Rosco is insanely talented and the dynamic chemistry your desserts and his lens shared was something I looked forward to. Good luck to him and may he visit Kentucky frequently!

Yay for Rosco but boo for Lex. The double third birthday was so fun and well recorded due to Rosco's work and now I have this great family farmers market photo shoot idea and I have been meaning to call Rosco to line up. What now? When the selfishness passes I'll be super happy for you—all the best!
Sep 13, 2011 · 12:18 PM
@Kingwell, that was super fun; I looooved those pictures. If you are really wanting to enact your farmers' market family photo, lemme know; Sarah Jane is also a fabulous photographer and is perfectly at home at the market and in natural light. I'm sure she'd be down for it!
Sep 13, 2011 · 11:01 PM
I've been following Brave Tart for quite some time and I must say it is so refreshing to find a blog that is about having fun and not about being a typical food blog. The photography is fantastic (as well as the recipes!)
I was finally moved to post on here to congratulate Rosco. I actually live just north of Carbondale and I am very familiar with the Arthur Agency. I am sure you will do well there. There is a lovely coffee shop next door and I highly recommend their chocolate ginger cookies. I will miss your work on this site but maybe I will see it around Southern Illinois. Best wishes.
Sep 14, 2011 · 8:06 AM
Rosco! Wow, I can't believe you're leaving. This must be so amazing for you but we'll miss you so much! I have loved the non-traditional blog style you guys created (to be honest, when I started reading Bravetart I hadn't much experience with food blogs either, and I am HOOKED on this.) Thank you so much for all you contributed. Even though that sounds kinda cheesy/insincere, it really is heartfelt. I think you're amazing and your new employers are very lucky people.

Symantec Buys PC Tools
Cupertino-based Symantec announced Monday afternoon that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Australian software firm PC Tools, which develops security and privacy software for Windows PC users. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Symantec said the buy expands its consumer product portfolio, specifically in new, emerging regional markets. PC Tools will continue as a separate operation, as part of Symantec's consumer business unit.
