GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- The gods of baseball are a capricious lot, not unlike the deities of antiquity. They are more fickle than public opinion, and, like all greedy gods, demand sacrifice. Those supplications may be broken bats, torn hamstrings, days of work or school missed on the holiest of holy days at the start of every April, but what they need – that which sustains them – is devotion. But, no matter how devout the adherent, baseball moves inexorably forward, leaving even the most dedicated acolyte behind.
"They always talk about playing every game like it's your last. Well, I literally watched it get ripped away on something I've done thousands of times in my life – just a simple dive into a base," says Cleveland Indians first baseman David Cooper, who, almost a year ago, didn't even know if he'd ever walk again, much less play another inning of professional baseball at any level.
Cooper is a mechanic. He studies swings – his own, and others – and he fiddles. He tinkers. He shaves and bends, cuts and sews, working at the craft of hitting. While in college at California, he and teammate Josh Satin spent an entire summer swinging together, studying the art of bat-shido. In 2008, Cooper and Satin were one of the best one-two punches in the Pac-10, with Cooper hitting .359 with 14 doubles, 19 home runs and 55 RBIs. Satin, in part thanks to Cooper, recovered from a sub-par redshirt junior season to hit a team-best .379 with 11 doubles, a triple, 18 home runs and 52 RBIs.
The pair parlayed their strong collegiate years into big draft-day jumps, with Cooper being picked No. 17 overall by the Toronto Blue Jays, and Satin being taken in the sixth round by the New York Mets.
Las Vegas 51s, Cooper hit just .121 in 13 games after an April 29 call-up – one of the worst stretches of hitting he'd had at any level, from Lodi (Calif.) Tokay High to Cal State Fullerton to Berkeley. Then, he went back down to Las Vegas and took his frustration out on a truckload of unsuspecting baseballs.
Even by the robust offensive standards of the Pacific Coast League, Cooper was exceptional. He finished hitting .364, with nine home runs and 96 RBIs, and was rewarded with a September call-up. He went 11-for-38 (.289) in his second stint, with six doubles, one home run and seven RBIs.
Cooper did well enough to earn consideration for an early promotion in 2012, and though Cooper didn't break camp with the Jays, he did come up to stay on May 25 and did not disappoint, hitting an even .300 (42-for-140) with four home runs, 11 doubles and 11 RBIs in 45 games. Then, in early August, he began feeling a twinge in his back. He'd developed a herniated disk – not acute enough to merit surgery, but painful. Ironically enough, Cooper had his best month at the dish in August of 2012, seeing action in 19 games and hitting .329 with 37 total bases. On Aug. 22, though, the debt Cooper had been racking up came due on a wet night in Detroit.
"We were in Detroit, and it'd been raining, so what happened was, I hit a ball and it was a quick carom off the wall, so I kind of slammed on the brakes at first, and I slipped a little, so I had to hurry up and get back," Cooper says. "It was a little bit of an awkward dive."
Cooper says that as he tried to get up, he couldn't breathe. He lost all mobility. Underneath the stands at Goodyear Park, he twists right and then left, not more than three degrees in either direction. "This," he says, was his range of motion. "That was it."
"At that point, I tried to keep playing, because I was playing every day and having some success," he continues. "I actually played two more innings of defense, because I didn't understand the severity of what had taken place.
"I didn't lose feeling, but I definitely had shooting pains coming around my ribs, and more predominantly on the right side."
One Indians source holds his fingers about a centimeter apart and says, "He was this close from being paralyzed."
Cooper didn't know it at the time, but that herniated disk had slipped, impinging the nerves in his spine. He wouldn't know that until an MRI in September revealed the herniated thoracic disk that was compressing his spinal cord in his chest cavity -- a location that appears in a whopping 1 to 2 percent of herniated disk patients.
After the sixth inning, Cooper sat down. Four days later, he was placed on the 15-day disabled list.
"I tried to rehab it. A lot of times, disks will heal on their own. I wasn't fortunate enough for that. A that point, it became clear that I needed to take the surgery route," says Cooper. "Rehab, there's really nothing you can do. You do some strengthening exercises that are very low-impact, but it's all just building up the muscles. Either the disk is going to heal, or it's not. You just don't want to do anything to prevent it from healing."
The Blue Jays sent Cooper to Florida for a rehab assignment in early October, but that didn't last very long.
"They sent me down to Florida for a rehab assignment, but it just wasn't getting better," Cooper says. "I think it was just one game. I couldn't. It was hurting. We finally caught the full gravity of the situation, so at that point, I had to have the surgery."
Cooper's herniated disk was pressing on his spinal cord, and there was only one solution: Vertebral fusion.
Three weeks before Cooper was scheduled to have surgery, the Blue Jays – the team that drafted him – released him. Cooper wasn't surprised.
"I won't say I saw it coming, but I knew something was about to happen," he says.
Cooper was less than a month from having his spine operated on, and despite a Berkeley education, his one marketable skill – the uncanny ability to square up a round ball on a round bat – was at risk, to say nothing of his ability to simply put one foot in front of the other. In April, Cooper went under the knife, and he was all too aware of the life-altering risks involved.
"It was really hard. Beyond baseball, it was such a big surgery. Paralysis was part of the risks," Cooper says. "The herniated disk, it impinged on my spinal cord, and they had to go in and remove it and put in a titanium plate and bolts."
A normal surgery to repair the injury would require an 18-inch incision in the chest wall, which would allow him to remove a rib and crank open the chest cavity. Paralysis wasn't the only risk. Cooper could also have suffered from pneumonia, chronic pain and/or lung complications.
Dr. Curtis Dickman -- a pioneer in endoscopy, based in the Phoenix area -- had another plan. Because of the location of the herniation, Dickman could not go in through the neck or lower back. The thoracic spine is surrounded by the rib cage, complicating matters further, because when a herniated thoracic disk -- like the one Cooper had -- compresses the front of the spinal cord, surgery has to go through the front of the chest, rather than the back. In a four-hour endoscopic procedure, Dickman used a special breathing tube to block the air flow on one side of Cooper's chest cavity, temporarily deflating his lung and giving him room to work. Instead of the 18-inch cash, he made small incisions between the ribs, and removed the herniated disk material, and then inserted two titanium screws and a titanium plate, fusing Cooper's T-7 and T-8 vertebrae along with some bone grafts from his rib.
Baseball, for the time being, wasn't nearly as important as being able to walk again, which Cooper began to do, slowly. As Cooper says, you have to be able to walk before you can run to first.
"It was kind of just, 'Let's get through the surgery and make sure everything goes correctly, and then, I'll get refocused on baseball,'" Cooper recalls.
For nearly 11 months, Cooper did not swing a baseball bat. From his futile rehab game until he was finally medically cleared – on July 5, 2013 – he was, for the longest time in his life, without baseball.
"The good news about my surgery was that it was in the mid-back. It's a bigger surgery, but the recovery time is a lot quicker," Cooper says. "Three months after, I was cleared. I just basically had to wait for the fusion to heal. Once the fusion heals, you're good to go."
It took Cooper about a month of taking hacks and getting back into some semblance of game shape before he let his agent start floating some trial balloons.
"I started swinging the day I got cleared, even if it was just dry swings. I actually rehabbed out here," Cooper says. "We kind of started putting word out that I was healthy, once I got cleared. Even though I was cleared, though, I still needed time to build up my strength. About a month after, we started putting word out and I ended up signing here."
The Indians pounced on Cooper in August, and he went to Columbus, Ohio, for seven games with the Clippers of the International League. It didn't go well. He hit just .192 in 26 at-bats. He then spent six games with the Indians' Arizona League team, going 11-for-25 with three doubles and five RBIs. Several months later, he was on the 40-man roster, with an invitation to Major League Spring Training.
"It means everything," smiles Cooper, who, growing up in the Bay Area, watched two of his current teammates play for the Oakland Athletics. "It definitely hits home."
Not only are the effervescent Nick Swisher and the grizzled Jason Giambi teammates for Cooper, but they're also twin mentors. Swisher, shockingly enough, does most of the talking. Cooper – who has always been a bit more of a shrinking violet, even going back to his college days – does all of the listening.
"He'll talk your ear off," Cooper says of Swisher.
"There are a lot of factors in the game that he knows about, just in general, to have that guy around here, especially for all these young thundercats that we've got," Swisher says of Giambi, going into his 20th season. "I'm 11 years in, and I look up to this guy. I can't imagine a guy who's trying to break into the big leagues, walks into the locker room and sees Jason Giambi. He must be like, 'Holy s***, man! That's Jason Giambi!'"
While Cooper won't go anywhere close to an exclamation point any time soon, he speaks in hushed tones about the aging slugger.
"I grew up watching him," Cooper says. "I'd never crossed paths with Giambi until now, actually. He's either been in Arizona spring training and I've been in Florida, and even during the regular season, never. It is one of those experiences where you look back and go, 'Wow, I was watching him coming up as a kid.'"
While Giambi's strength has never really been his defense, there is common ground between him and Cooper – who made a leaping grab to save an out and end the second inning in Friday's 4-0 Cactus League win over the Cincinnati Reds – and that common ground is hitting, something for which Cooper now carries a greater appreciation.
"They've played this game for a long time," Cooper says of Swisher and Giambi. "They have a lot of stuff to share and you can pick up a lot, when they're talking about hitting, defense, whatever. They've done it all for a long time."
Now, with a new lease on his baseball life – a faith, renewed – Cooper is hoping to do the same.

Re: Custom Engine Panel Design
Final install.
I still need to clean up some butyl and generally this back corner of the cockpit collects dirt (it was just washed so there is dirty runoff) but it's a nice improvement.
I removed the broken hour meter, glassed over that hole and moved the engine stop.
I also wrapped the engine wiring in conduit and re-routed it. It used to be pretty exposed in the cockpit locker, now it's a tighter run and the connectors are tucked behind the panel.
All the indicators have been tested including the temp, which I did by shorting the wire right at the sensor (the oil alarm is normally active, so no need to test manually). Theirf visibility in the recess is poorer than I intended but they're plenty bright in daylight, something that can't be said about the stock yanmar indicators.
My last concern is that my always on green indicator LED will be too bright at night. But we'll see. It's a nice feature since it's technically possible to de-power the panel and lose all alarms while the engine is still running. The green LED will be a constant indicator that things are ok.

All good ideas above. Consider separating the indicators from the switches. The indicators and light should be where you can see them and sealed from sun and water. The switches can be elsewhere out of harm's way. Key is indeed useless and a maintenance problem.

Re: Custom Engine Panel Design
Well, 2.5 years later and I finally started this project!
First, my original plans were overly ambitious. While it would be nice to have Nav/Spreader lights etc in the cockpit it's not really needed. And the extra wiring would just be a pain.
Still, the old panel was an eye sore (see it below) and in a spot where it was exposed to being kicked or bumped. Here's what I settled on:
SSI Plastic Recessed Panel:
Recessed Panel | SSI Custom Plastics
Sunlight Visible and Waterproof LED Indicator Lights:
McMaster 2779K13
New rubber boot for toggle switch:
McMaster 70205K26
Heat Shrink Fully Insulated Quick Connects:
McMaster 72625K76
Write-On Wire Labels (I'm a big fan of these):
McMaster 8668T11
The picture shows some of the steps. After doing some planning with MS Visio I first cut a template for the panel itself. Using the old panel as a guide with the router table I cut out the big holes for the guage and buzzer and drilled out the other holes. I was able to test fit this (realizing that behind the panel the toggle switch hit the buzzer), and then copy the plywood template to the panel with the router table again.
I also made a plywood template for the cutout that has to be enlarged on the boat. A cordless Ryobi router will be used for that.
-I'm probably giving up visibility on the indicator lights which are fairly small. Though the buzzer should still be the primary alarm.
-I don't have labels for the lights though I chose red for oi/temp and orange for charge. A buzzer plus a red light is going to mean shut-down! And I'll remember the order.
-I have some sunbrella fabric that I plan on using to make a roll-up cover.
-The unpopulated indicator is going to be green just to show that panel power is enabled. This is the one design addition to the panel.
-I bent 3/16" lexan to make a back cover to protect the wiring. Though I have yet to decide how to fasten it.
-I grouped the controls in the lower right because I may cover the panel with lexan and have a cutout in that corner to access them. This would mostly be for kick protection.
-In my diagram the key and the start button were aligned on the bottom but in real life the fact that their centers are off looks like a mistake. I'll probably address that.
-If I added an oil gauge I might put it where the buzzer is now, and then move the buzzer behind the panel (MainSail's suggestion earlier).
-After being frustrated by the lack of availability of good marine connectors I've definitely settled on fully insulated quick connects as the best easy solution.

Yanmar haven't learned the art of compact yet, their panels are large and mostly unpopulated. What I do miss on your panel though, are the big warning lights that come on with oil pressure drop or overheat on the Yanmar panel.
I guess if you have a buzzer that's all it really needs - I have just got used to the lights as well.
But that is a nice panel.
Re: Custom Engine Panel Design
Regarding tachometer senders and tachometers:
Don't know about the 1GM10 but for my 2QM15 the tachometer sender is a flywheel sensor and is located on the engine block just forward of the transmission on the port side. It has two male terminals on it.
For speed sensing using this type of sensor the tachometer used must be matched to the number of teeth on the flywheel. My engine has 114 teeth on the flywheel. For OPer: 1GM10 has 97 teeth.
My memory is that the stock number of the meters have the no. of teeth they are designed to work with as part of the number. Also the meter face has the number of flywheel teeth it is designed to work with engraved on the meter face.
For my Yanmar (and others) the alternator output can used for tachometer sensing IF it has an alternator fitted with an "R" or "N" terminal. VDO meters can be used in this application. To match the VDO tach with the alternator you have to know the number of electromagnetic poles of the alternator and buy a tach designed to be used with that number of poles (frequency matching the pulsing waveform coming out of the alternator).
On Yachting and Boating World Forums (www dot ybw dot com) one member mentions converting an alternator for use with a tach for a 1GM10 and might be worth a look for those interested. The thread is "Recalibrating Yanmar P116 Tachometer to P97 - Possible?"

Find out how these allegations could affect your divorce.
Find out how our firm can help you fight back.
Many times domestic violence or CDV charges are brought out of situations in which one or both of the parties may be under the influence of alcohol (or drugs). In some cases alcohol abuse or dependency may be the root cause of serious and problematic arguments and disagreements. In other cases, ther emay be false implications that alcohol was a factor in an alleged CDV offense.
Allegations of alcohol or drug use add an additional layer of complexity onto a CDV or CDVHAN case. If there is evidence that the domestic violence laws have been violated, the prosecutor or the Court may want to incorporate drug or alcohol treatment into any diversion program or sentence. In other situations, individuals may actually be more vigorously prosecuted by the police based on concerns that their substance abuse will cause them to commit more CDV offenses in the future.
Alcohol or drug use may create a situation in which either the alleged victim or the CDV defendant may not have a clear recollection of the events or complaints leading up to the arrest. It is possible in South Carolina to go to trial for domestic violence even when all of the witnesses may have no independent recollection of what actually transpired. The State's "no drop" policy may still apply even in cases where the alleged victim was intoxicated.
Examples of circumstances common in improper CDV arrests include:
When the original complaint or report is made to 911 or law enforcement by an individual under the influence of alcohol or drugs it can have serious consequences. A situation where no arrest is warranted may result in an arrest for CDV. A situation where the genuine allegations may legitimately result in CDV charges may result in felony CDVHAN charges. This is due to the fact that alcohol or drug intoxication impaired the ability (or desire) to clearly and accurate recollect and communicate events or complaints to law enforcement.
If you or a loved one has been charged with criminal domestic violence in South Carolina you owe it to yourself to obtain the services of an experienced attorney. James Snell is familiar with domestic violence law and procedure, and has represented clients in cases with allegations of alcohol or drug intoxication.

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: The caspases are an integral part of the protease cascade that results in apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in virus-infected cells. Following the elicitation of the death signal, the caspases are activated sequentially and then proteolytically cleave their substrate molecules in a site-specific manner. Three members of this protease family, caspases 3, 7 and 8, were cloned from a bovine lymph node cDNA library, sequenced and subcloned into the mammalian expression vector, pcDNA3. In transient co-transfection experiments using luciferase as a marker, caspases 7 and 8 were able to efficiently kill transfected cells as determined by a reduction of up to 90% to 95% of luciferase activity when compared to luciferase-only controls. Titration studies showed that the degree of luciferase luminescence reduction was dependent on amount of caspase plasmid transfected. Specific caspase inhibitors prevented the decrease in luciferase activity, indicating inhibition of proteolytic activity. Examination of luciferase activity at various times revealed that cell death is detectable between 10 and 16 hours post-transfection. This work will lead to a better understanding of the role of these proteases in the death processes of virus-infected cells.

Behind the masterful performance of Jon Lester, the Red Sox took down the Pinstripes 7-3 on Saturday in New York. Lester, who will be gunning for win #20 in his final start of the year, had a perfect game through 4.0 innings and a no-no through 5.1. He only gave up two hits to go with his three walks and eight strikeouts (and a 2.96 ERA for the year).
Lester's only real trouble came in the 6th, after a walk and a single, Derek Jeter singled to left field, and Austin Kearns tried to come around to score, but Daniel Nava gunned him down. Mark Teixeira made it to 3rd in the next inning, but the Yankees could do nothing.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox started their momentum in the 3rd, starting with a HBP, walk, and two singles. J.D. Drew grounded into a double play, which limited the gains from the inning, though a run did score on the play. And David Ortiz singled in another run later in the inning too.
Papi added another RBI single to his day in the 5th, and then in the 7th, J.D. Drew and Victor Martinez went back-to-back off of Chad Gaudin. The tally at the time: 6-0 good guys.
By that time, Lester's pitch count was getting up there (102), so Daniel Bard came out to pitch the 8th. Brett Gardner reach on a(nother) fielding error by Adrian Beltre, and Bard promptly allowed a home run to Curtis Granderson. After two straight doubles from the Sox in the 9th made it 7-2, Hideki Okajima allowed a lead-off home run to A-Rod before silencing the Yankees for good.
The offense gets their due, but without Lester's performance, the bullpen probably would have blown yet another game.
You actually got the sense that the Yankees could come back. Bard and Okajima combined for a 9.00 ERA (13.50 if you include the error that could just as easily been scored a tough hit) and 1.50 WHIP (2.00 with the aforementioned error) on the day.
"You can hear Kalish calling Nova off." – the Fox announcers during the first out of the bottom of the 2nd, on a play in which Kalish and Nava nearly collided. They confused Nava and Nova (the Yankees' starting pitcher) several more times.

good column John. Hey, is "stud", "dud" and "that's what he said" and "game note" your idea, or is that a format you have to use? I really like that part. Interesting stats and trivia in your game notes. Thanks, LLB
No, that's something we all usually do.

She prefers to keep her private life private, but Eva Mendes couldn't help but make a fuss about her two-month-old daughter Esmeralda while chatting with The Violet Files.
The "Other Guys" stunner talked about the way she and her beau Ryan Gosling decided on their bundle of joy's moniker.
They welcomed their little bundle of joy on September 12th and now Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes have unveiled the little one's moniker.
It's been a couple of weeks since they welcomed their newborn daughter into the world and Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes couldn't be happier.
An inside source told Us Weekly that the notoriously private "Lars and the Real Girl" hunk is settling in to fatherhood quite well.
Stepping into their new roles as mom and dad, Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling said hello to their first child on Friday (September 12).
The "We Own the Night" actress gave birth to a happy and healthy baby girl, effectively making the "Lars and the Real Girl" hunk an official DILF.
She's pregnant with his progeny and Eva Mendes has been getting the first class treatment from her handsome beau Ryan Gosling.
According to an insider, the "Lars and the Real Girl" hunk is Mendes' personal chef these days and he handles all angles of every meal.
While there are still no signs of pink or blue, Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes are reportedly expecting their first child this October according to multiple sources.
The couple is keeping quiet on the new, but a source told People that they "are over the moon with happiness."
We all know that pregnancy rumors are a dime a dozen these days, but OK Magazine is reporting that Eva Mendes is with child and Ryan Gosling is responsible!
Adding another magazine cover to her credit, Eva Mendes fronts Flare magazine's May 2014 issue.
The "Hitch" beauty looked stunning in a pink Chanel dress for the Guy Aroch-shot front page while opening up about her acting inspirations along with her fashion dos and don'ts.

Jabu Malinga dies
By Ron Jackson
One of South Africa's best known trainers Jabulani Malinga known as "Jabu" passed away at his home in Katlehong on the East Rand on Monday night after a long illness. Jabu a former fighter who fought as a lightweight and was trained by Norman Hlabane was better known for managing and training his three sons Peter, Patrick and Vusi. He also trained Nkululeko Mhlongo the current South African junior middleweight champion.
The eldest son Peter was a top class fighter who fought from 1991 to 2006 and won the South African welterweight title in April 1996 when he beat Aaron Kabi. He also went on to win the WBU welterweight title in June of the same year when he knocked Alessandro Duran in the third round.
Peter also lost in a challenge for the WBO welterweight belt against Achmed Kotiev and then captured the IBO welterweight belt in October 1999 with a points victory over Spencer McCracken in Coventry, England.
Patrick who is still active is a former South African lightweight champion and Vusi who is the youngest of the trio is a former South African and WBC International bantamweight champion.
Vusi also had two cracks at winning a world title but was beaten by Houzumi Hasegawa for the WBC bantamweight title and Leo Santa Cruz for the IBF bantamweight title.
I will always remember Jabu as an immaculate dresser with his white hat, at the ringside when he sons were not fighting.

State of the City Focuses on Downtown Arena
Saying the city of Sacramento is strong, Mayor Kevin Johnson last night focused on the downtown arena during his annual "State of the City" address at Memorial Auditorium.
The mayor is calling 2014 "The Year of Groundbreakings," the biggest of which will be the new downtown Entertainment and Sports Complex.
"Nothing will STOP us, pun intended," he said.
Mayor Johnson says the new arena will anchor downtown -- with revitalization projects on K Street, at the Capitol Mall, in Old Sacramento and the Railyard, making downtown "a place where people want to go."
"It's critical that we finish what we start. And we've got to build it. It will provide an incredible positive benefit that will far outcede the world of basketball," Johnson said.
Kings Owner Vivek Ranadive got the biggest cheer of the night for his efforts to keep the Kings in town, and build the new arena.
"We are going to make Sacramento one of the premiere cities on the planet," Ranadive said.

For the second year running, ITU-standardized IPTV technologies have been deployed in an international IPTV experiment held in conjunction with the Sapporo Snow Festival in Japan, 5-11 February 2013. The experiment ran over ITU's IPTV IPv6 Global Testbed and was successful in its ambitious attempt to employ ten software-defined networks (SDNs) simultaneously.
ITU headquarters in Geneva received high-definition IPTV content from the head-end server in Japan via a native end-to-end IPv6 connection, participating alongside broadcasters, government agencies, network operators, manufacturers and research institutes from Japan, Singapore and the Philippines.
IPTV services were used to live-stream scenes from Sapporo and to provide supporting Video on Demand (VoD) segments, accompanied by integrated social media tools and a remotely-provided captioning service. A particular achievement was the use of RISE, a next-generation Internet based on OpenFlow, to deliver IPTV content to Singapore where IPv4 and IPv6 were combined virtually (more on ITU and IPv6 here).
Core ITU standards underpinning the experiment included Recommendation ITU-T H.721's IPTV terminal for Video on Demand (VoD) and Linear TV, and ITU-T H.762's Lightweight Interactive Multimedia Environment (LIME) for interactive IPTV services.
Building on the success of similar events in 2012, Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), Hokkaido Television Broadcasting (HTB) and OKI continue to provide the infrastructure underlying what has become known as ITU's IPTV IPv6 Global Testbed.
The experiment was organized by NICT and conducted over its IPv6 research network, Japan Gigabit Network-eXtreme (JGN-X). Other participating organizations included ASTEM, MediaEdge, NTT, NTT Communications, NTT Electronics and Sumitomo Electric Networks from Japan; the Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) from Singapore; Ateneo de Manila University, Philippine Long Distance Telephone (PLDT) and the Information and Communications Technology Office of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST ICTO) from the Philippines; and Swisscom from Switzerland.
Such experiments – together with ITU IPTV Interoperability events – are important steps towards broadening the IPTV market through globally-interoperable services. Standardized IPTV will lead to a whole new market for innovation, and ITU standards will ensure this market remains open, competitive and accessible to all.
ITU-T Study Group 16 is producing the standards required to drive widespread adoption of IPTV. Global standards will lower the costs of these services for vendors and consumers, avoiding costly 'format wars' and enabling rollouts of the technology to a scale not achievable with proprietary solutions.
For more on ITU-T's work on IPTV, please see ITU's IPTV Global Standards Initiative.

Many agencies, publishers, and advertisers across Europe have been sent documents by the European Commission (EC) recently, requesting detailed information about the online advertising marketplace — and about search marketing and AdWords in particular.
This is part of an investigation into Google and antitrust. While a response isn't mandatory, questioning from industry bodies has elicited a response that suggests the commission can, if it wants to, make it compulsory.
I've been critical of Google's market dominance in the past and still firmly believe strong competition in every area of their business is good for the industry and for consumers. But while reading and answering the overlapping questions in the two documents my agency has received, I feel a growing unease that the bureaucrats who will ultimately pass judgment on Google may do more damage than good.
The questions in the documents fall into several broad categories:
- Define the digital services you provide and therefore the marketplace.
- The extent to which campaigns need to differ per country and to what extent that poses barriers.
- Scenarios around when ad spend would be switch away from horizontal PPC ads (i.e. AdWords) to other platforms or ad types.
- A surprising number of questions around how easy it is to port data between AdWords and other platforms, how easy Google make this and if it could be done "by a programmatic tool."
- Questions about the AdWords API, legal agreements with Google and anyway Google tries to restrict the use of other platforms.
It's the questions about porting campaigns and the API that worry me. This isn't one question but a series, probing for details of current processes, in-house and external tools, and the time and money involved — all asking if Google makes this difficult.
We all know that a copy and paste of a campaign from Google into adCenter or any other ad platform won't bring the best results — the systems have different campaign options, treat search strings and match types differently, have different consumer user bases, etc.
I wouldn't want to use a "programmatic tool" to dump campaigns into other system from AdWords.
Do I want to download them, open them, edit them to fit each platform and then quickly upload them? Yes. We all know how to use the various search engine editors and Excel today.
This feels like a line of inquiry a competing ad platform would push hardest — we all know there's been lobbying. I'm not accusing any one company and I trust the EC has processes in place to prevent bias. I'm just wondering aloud if this is the most useful direction for the commission to proceed in.
What worries me is this is exactly the sort of narrow-minded approach to the market that could lead to a ruling that's bad for PPC — at an extreme, ordering Google to add a "port" button to copy campaigns to adCenter or other systems — with no reference to the poor performance that may follow. Knowing how to get the best out of different ad platforms is a skill in itself.
Hopefully the detailed answers being written by search experts will steer the commission toward more genuine areas of concern, such as Google's practice of contacting big advertisers directly without telling their agencies (I saw an example of this the other day, unsolicited by the client) or locking-off top AdWords slots for its own products — and that's before we talk about DoubleClick or their market share as a whole.
Martin Sorrell never said a truer word when he described Google as a "frenemy."
This topic will be a slow burning one in Europe — and in all likelihood, by the time the bureaucratic wheels have finished turning, the marketplace will have changed again, anyway.

There are nocks for the end of your arrows that light up when you shoot. I have been researching them and I found out they didn't have a battery in them. So Are They Legal in the state of Idaho?
No, they cannot be used in Idaho.
A few years ago, the Department developed a proposal that would have allowed the use of lighted nocks while bowhunting for big game. Public input received was split between supporting and not supporting the proposal. Additionally, the majority of public testimony received by the Idaho Fish and Game Commission recommended against the proposal. Ultimately, the Commission decided to not adopt the Department's proposal. Part of the Commission reasoning was to maintain the original intent of primitive weapons hunting by limiting the use of technological advancements.

Wondering if anyone has any feedback on having a Glycolic peel, after Radiesse filler?
- paperbackwriter
- Last updated: 3 years ago
I have a Glycolic peel scheduled for two weeks after my Radiesse injections. Am I chasing my tail? Hate to spend the $$$ for the Radiesse filler if the peel is going to weaken the effects. If anyone knows for sure, I'd appreciate your response. Thanks.

Through this document are established the General Conditions of Use for USERS who access the website (www.kincosmetics.com), property of KIN COSMETICS SA (from now on, the PROVIDER) (A17094590), located in Polígono Industrial Bujonis 7-9, registered Company in the Registro Mercantil de Girona Volume 487, book 392 section 3rd page 36 sheet nº 6980, Inscription 1st. Accessing THE PROVIDER'S website implies the unconditional acceptance of the present General Conditions of Use.
The present General Conditions of Use, as well as the General Conditions of Procurement of the different services available on THE PROVIDER's website www.kincosmetics.com are detailed permanently on the website owned by THE PROVIDER www.kincosmetics.com, each user being able to file them and print them and therefore be aware of the conditions of use of the website, as well as the procurement conditions under which the different services will be provided.
To the same extent, the present General Conditions are reiterated each time a USER is registered through the application form available to that effect in order to be accepted specifically by the CONTRACTING PARTY -by means of a click on "I read and accept the conditions".
It is not technically possible for the USER to confirm the registration as user in WWW.KINCOSMETICS.COM without the acceptance of the present General Conditions. The registration as user entails the sending of a user password by THE PROVIDER in order to access the exclusive USER area, which is private and safe and from which the specific requests of services will be carríed out, all of which will be regulated by the specific General Conditions of Procurement.
The USER confirms to be of legal age, to have enough capacity to procure and to have read, understood and accepted the present specific Conditions.
Regarding the service procurement made by the USER, the PROVIDER, as soon as the procurement is produced and within a period of time no longer than twenty-four hours, will send an invoice with the description of the procured service, its cost -with a tax breakdown if applied- and the period of time by which the service is procured to the e-mail address provided by the CONTRACTING PARTY in the application form in order to confirm the service request. To the same extent, the CONTRACTING PARTY will have at its disposal with a permanent character in its private area both the present General Conditions and all the General Conditions of Procurement of the different services, as well as the details of the specific services procured and their period of applicability attached to the payment certifying invoices. Any subsequent modification of the present General Conditions or the General Conditions of Procurement of the services will be notified to the CONTRACTING PARTY fifteen days prior application, being clearly exposed in an easily accessible area of the website WWW.KINCOSMETICS.COM. All the previous documentation given may be printed and filed by the CONTRACTING PARTY, who may request such documentation via e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or phone on +34 902 370 570.
The PROVIDER's website has been created to offer professional Internet services and thus provide an easy access for the USERS to all the information regarding such services, the entity of THE PROVIDER itself and other complementary information which THE PROVIDER may include directly or through the corresponding links. From THE PROVIDER's website users will be able to procure and manage the services offered.
The use of the website WWW.KINCOSMETICS.COM does not imply the obligatory inscription or registration by the USER. This inscription will only be necessary in order to request services by means of the introduction of certain data in a USER application form where the present General Conditions of use are indicated -see clause 1 of the present Conditions. The conditions of access and use of THE PROVIDER's website are strictly regulated by the laws currently in force and by the principle of good faith, assuming that the USER will make proper use of the website. Any acts which encroach upon legality, the rights or interests of third parties, the right to privacy and honour, protection of data, intellectual property and any action which may constitute illicit conduct are therefore prohibited. Specifically and without taxtative character THE PROVIDER prohibits the following:
Realizing actions which may on the website or though the website produce damage to the systems of THE PROVIDER or a third party.
Realizing any type of unauthorized advertisement or commercial information directly or covertly, the sending of massive unrequested e-mails ("spamming") or the sending of large messages in order to block the net servers ("mail bombing"). THE PROVIDER receives notifications from different impartial organizations which fight against the use of this type of practice notifications when a user or CONTRACTING PARTY of the PROVIDER is sending massive unrequested e-mails. In the case that the PROVIDER receives such notifications, they will be communicated to the CONTRACTING PARTY so that the CONTRACTING PARTY can cease the aforementioned bad practices immediately. The PROVIDER will not assess whether the addresses which the CONTRACTING PARTY sent the e-mails to were obtained with the consent of the holder. The PROVIDER will act as long as an organization dedicated to the fight against these activities notifies so - these organizations receive the complaints from the people who receive unrequested e-mails - and therefore if the CONTRACTING PARTY were not to abandon the use of such practices the PROVIDER would cancel the service immediately and would resolve the present contract, reserving the exercise of as many legal actions as may be convenient in order to defend its interests.
To the same extent, it is specifically prohibited to use programs designed to cause problems or attacks on the net. It is likewise prohibited to try and test the security of the servers by realizing any type of entry or action which is not strictly necessary to the enjoyment of the user.
The PROVIDER may interrupt access to its website at any time if it detects any use contrary to legality, the good faith or the present general conditions - see seventh clause.
The contents incorporated on the website of the PROVIDER have been elaborated and included by:
The entity of the PROVIDER itself, using internal and external sources, therefore the PROVIDER is only responsible of the contents elaborated internally.
The USERS, by means of collaborations or voluntary introduction of contents, being the USERS the only party responsible for such contents, and the PROVIDER being specifically exempt of all responsibility which may be derived from such contents.
Natural and legal persons external to the PROVIDER, by means of collaborations posted directly on the website or by means of links, are the only parties responsible for the published contents, with the PROVIDER remaining specifically exempt from all responsibility in the terms specified by the Spanish legislation.
Furthermore, through the website of the PROVIDER are featured at the USER's disposal products and services both from the PROVIDER and third parties destined to be commercialized and which will be subject to the General and specific Conditions of each one of the services. The PROVIDER does not guarantee the veracity, accuracy or currency of the contents related to the services offered by third parties and is specifically exempt from all type of responsibility for any damages claims which may derive from the lacks or mistakes in the characteristics of the services which may be offered by these third parties.
The USER who may want to post a hyperlink on its website to the website of the PROVIDER will not realize any use which is illegal or against good faith of the information, services or products presented in the PROVIDER's website. Specifically, the USER who introduces a hyperlink agrees to:
Not destroying, damaging or altering in any way the contents, services or products presented at the disposal of the USER in the website of the PROVIDER.
Not declaring that the PROVIDER assumes the supervision of the hyperlink or of the contents of the website of the USER who introduces a link to the website of the PROVIDER in their own website. The PROVIDER will not be responsible in any case for the contents or services of the website of the USER where a hyperlink to the website of the PROVIDER is included.
Not including in their own website the brand, commercial name or any distinctive sign belonging to the PROVIDER without prior authorization of the entity.
5.1.- Connection errors, unforseeable circumstances and acts of God
The PROVIDER will not be responsible for errors, access delays, delays in the system or any anomaly which may occur related to general problems in the Internet, unforseeable circumstances or of acts of God or any other unforseeable contingency and therefore external to the good faith of the company. The PROVIDER compromises to try to solve such eventualities by putting all the means in its power and offering all the necessary support to the USER in order to solve such incidences in the fastest and most satisfactory way. To the same extent, the PROVIDER will not be responsible for communication failures which may occur due to the aforementioned causes, as well as any deletion or incomplete transitions which therefore do not guarantee the permanent operativeness of the website when this is caused by matters not attributable to the PROVIDER, or which it cannot solve with all the means in its power. The USER exempts the PROVIDER of all responsibility in case any of these causes occurs.
5.2.- Use of website: The PROVIDER will not be responsible in any case for errors or damage produced by the inefficient use or in bad faith of the service by the CONTRACTING PARTY. Neither will the PROVIDER be responsible for the major or minor consequences of the lack of communication between the PROVIDER and the CONTRACTING PARTY when it is attributable to the non-functioning of the e-mail address provided or the falsity of the data provided by the CONTRACTING PARTY upon its registration as a user of WWW.KINCOSMETICS.COM.
5.3.- Responsibility: The PROVIDER assumes the responsibilities which may derive from the provision of the services which it offers within the limits and as specified in the different General Conditions of Procurement of the services at the disposal of the USER.

The USER will be the sole responsible party against which any claim or legal, judicial or extrajudicial action initiated by third parties affected directly by the USER before Courts or any other organisms takes place, assuming all the expenses, costs and compensations which may be caused to the PROVIDER were the claim addressed to it. To the same extent, the PROVIDER will collaborate and notify the competent authority of such incidences at the moment it has irrefutable knowledge that the damage caused constitutes any type of illicit activity, especially regarding the contents introduced by the USER which may encroach upon legitimate rights or interests of the PROVIDER or of third parties.
6.2.- Reliable knowledge: The PROVIDER, upon receiving any type of notification from a third party of the supposed illegality of any content or activity realized by the USER on the services of the PROVIDER, and as long as such notification is received with proper identification from the communicator, will proceed to bring it to the attention of the USER and, if the activity is arguably illicit, will proceed to block the service in question. For this activity to be arguably illicit it must be unequivocal for any person who accesses these contents. In those specific cases such as author rights or slander and calumny the PROVIDER cannot resolve whether the USER has or does not have the right to show such contents or whether such contents constitute of slander and calumny, the comepetent authority being exclusively the only party able to indicate irrefutably such illicitness and, therefore, order the cease in the service.
6.3.- Safety and custody of access passwords: The USER will be responsible for the security and confidentiality of all the passwords with which they access to their private area -which are provided upon registration as user- in order to procure the different services, having to keep them in a safe place in order to avoid the access of unauthorized third parties.
6.4.- Due dilligence: The USER is responsible for realizing all the updates required with due diligence. With specific character, the USER must be dilligent regarding the update and veracity of their personal information, fundamentally the e-mail address provided in the registration form of the USER as the principal way of contact with the PROVIDER - see clause 8 of the present Conditions.
The PROVIDER and the USER agree to communicate and notify all the incidents produced within the validity of the different services they may procure, which should be preferably and prior to any other method communication, via electronic mail. The e-mail address of the PROVIDER for such communications will be firstname.lastname@example.com and the e-mail address of the CONTRACTING PARTY will be provided in the user registration form of the PROVIDER in WWW.KINCOSMETICS.COM. The USER commits to keep this electronic mail operative and modify it in his or her private area if necessary in order to continue receiving the communications. In any case, if an urgent problem or failure in the previous communication were to occur, communication would be taken up via phone, fax, postal mail, delivery or any other system adequate for the purpose. Nevertheless, the preferable method of communication is to be electronic mail, the PROVIDER being exempt of all responsibility which may derive from the lack of consultation or error in the electronic mail provided by the USER. Each of the parts will be responsible of the safety and custody of the copies of the communication carried out.

I'd say the Christians I know are pretty evenly split between conservative and liberal.
One of the things I like about the conservative Christians I know is how clear they are about what they believe and think. They know what the Bible says; they know who they are; they know what they're doing in life. They're solid. The whole "backbone of America" thing is no joke; the strongest trees, after all, have the deepest roots. Not a lot of wafflers in the conservative camp.
Plus, they're super dedicated. Conservative Christians don't wonder if they're in the mood for it; they just go to church. They go to Bible study. They show up for the functions at their church. They actually do stuff.
Conservative Christians also tend to be, in practice, extremely loving. Liberal Christians think that conservative Christians are harshly judgmental, and sort of fundamentally (ha, ha) hard-hearted. They think that if, in the middle of the night, a clearly gay guy showed up at the home of a Christian conservative in need of help, he'd summarily get a door slammed in his face.
But he wouldn't! All the conservative Christians I've ever known are serious about putting God's love into practice. The fact that they're so sure of what they believe makes them open to new thoughts, ideas, and experiences. If you're very sure of who you are, you're a lot more open to discovering who others might be.
On the other hand, conservative Christians can be too sure they're right about everything. It's too easy, when you're a conservative, to boil down what you believe into a really simple set of assertions, and to then never again question or allow those assertions to (so to speak) evolve. Then it just becomes about rules; then it's too easy to make everything about who is and isn't on the right side of right. When it comes to something as complex as God and history, it's too easy for "keeping it simple" to become "keeping it stupid"—which too easily becomes "keeping it mean-spirited." Conservatives have a troubling propensity for closing their minds.
One of the things I like best about liberal Christians is they're so generous with their love and respect. They're very seriously focused on God's love, and they're not afraid to insist that anything that hinders that love must be suspect. They love Jesus; Jesus preached love; they're all about loving as Jesus did, period. Also, I like the way liberal Christians are so thoughtful. They listen. They reflect. They refine. They search. They question. They study. They understand that part of their job as Christians is to actively try to access the mind and heart of God, and they're disinclined to let anything interfere with that goal. They're not afraid to get inspired. They live with the confidence that God will never fault them for loving too much.
On the other hand, liberal Christians can waffle like Belgians at an IHOP. They too often fall prey to thinking that the emotions of their loving feelings is really all they need to guide them, with the result that they never feel a need to be clear on what they actually believe at all. Maybe Jesus was mainly a social activist. Maybe the cross is a metaphor. Maybe Jesus walking on water was an optical illusion. And so on and so on, until finally they may as well be crystal-gazing astrologers. And yet, for all their comfortable ambiguity, liberal Christians can also be altogether too smug, too sure, too condescending toward those who take the Gospel as gospel. Liberal Christians (like just about everybody else) tend to think they're smarter than they actually are.
In the main, my problem with liberal Christians is that they can stay so busy remaining lofty and above it all that their rubber never hits the road. I've found many of them to be better with compassion as a theory than they are with it as a practice.
In the end, who cares? Everything's got its positive and negative aspects. All that matters, spiritually, is that each of us finds the place on the liberal-conservative spectrum where we're most comfortable. Each of us has to carve for ourselves our own niche, the one that's perfectly suited to us.
And from there all we have to do is live, love, pay attention, listen to God, and let him pull us ever closer to his divine and glorious reality.
Here's to the idea that we'll all eventually end up in exactly the same place.

Hello all.
My name is Justin King, I'm from Dallas, Pa. (just outside of Wilkes-Barre).
I'm 18 years old, and starting school at Pennstate Wilkes Campus.
I purchased (yes... my money, I bought it, not parents)
a 2007 Subaru Imprezza WRX STI in the begining of July.
Still stock (except the wax coats) and this Wednesday I'll be picking up an SPT Intake and Heatshield for the car.
Nothing much else to say, except I'm looking forward to knowing people here, and I'd really like to get out to some meets and have a good time.

i just installed a speedometer on my tranny its a 700 form a 1988 chevy and it wont work the speedometer has an electrical connection can neone help!!
check the fuses under the dash 1st, if all is ok, then check the wires that go to the v.s.s. (vehicle speed sensor). i have seen the wires melted together b4... local dealer should carry the pigtail in stock...
theres more that it could be, but that would be a good place to start.
and b4 i forget, why did u replace it? was the speedo already not working? was it leaking? more info please.
Need to clarify something. Does the trans have an electrical connection? or does the CAR harness have an electrical connection? Makes a difference what the fix is.
i replaced it cuz the stock speedometer was like magnetic or something and the gear for the speedometer is plastic on the tranny i just put in, and i put in a speedometer that is driven by a gear and has the same connection from the truck to the speedometer
