A briefcase initially reported as a suspicious package Tuesday afternoon at the Utah Valley Convention Center in Provo turned out to contain only tools, according to Provo Police.
Dispatchers received a call about the package at 1:17 p.m. Police and fire personnel converged on the convention center at 220 W. Center St. to check it out.
Lt. Matthew Siufanua said an employee at the convention center called to report the package after noticing it was unattended for some time. Siufanua said police and fire personnel responded and evacuated the convention center. Center Street between Freedom Boulevard and 300 West also was blocked off for about an hour.
Siufanua said bomb disposal team used a robot to retrieve the package. An X-ray taken of the briefcase later revealed work tools inside.

The homeowners' checklist was simple.
They wanted 180-degree views of Puget Sound from all the living and dining areas of their 1960s Edmonds home that was a choppy maze of rooms with a bunch of walls and a monstrous rock fireplace.
They got what they wanted — and more.
"We took all the walls down from the back of the house to the front," said Sandra Gjesdahl of Bristol Design &Construction in Lynnwood. "Everything interior wasn't bearing. Why someone put all the walls up in the first place we'll never know."
The massive fireplace was removed. An open galley kitchen utilizes the original 55-foot-long skylight that now spans the home in unobstructed splendor.
It was a six-month project for the design and building firm owned by Sandra Gjesdahl and her husband, Scott.
The home's kitchen won the firm a first-place award in Seattle Design Center's 14th annual Northwest Design Awards. The 150 entries in 14 competition categories were judged on proportion, composition, use of space, materials and design solution.
"It's a huge honor and compliment," Sandra Gjesdahl said.
The homeowners, who want to remain anonymous, lived in a back room of the house during the project that remodeled about 1,500 square feet of main floor space.
"We ate out a lot," the homeowner said.
The home, custom built on a cul-de-sac about a mile from the water, had the right bones for the project.
"We wanted to maintain that integrity. We let that drive pretty much everything," Gjesdahl said. "The goals were to embrace the original post-and-beam structure modeled after Pacific Northwest longhouse architecture that emphasizes Asian inspired pavilion style details and joinery."
The house hadn't had much updating since it was built in 1961.
Gjesdahl said the goal was to create a cohesive remodel: blending eras and respecting the original architecture while implementing spatial changes.
"They wanted an open kitchen plan that was aesthetically pleasing as well as functional," she said.
"The firm has a full woodworking shop. It enables us to create more innovative and interesting architectural details. I view all the cabinetry as furniture in this case."
Some old materials were repurposed. Those big stones from the atrocious fireplace found a new life as a garden path at friend's home. "I couldn't wait to swing the first hammer to get that fireplace out," the homeowner said.
Two smaller fireplaces were integrated into the design. Bifolding panels conceal a TV above the sitting room fireplace. The living room fireplace was clad in cold-rolled steel rising from the floor to the vaulted ceiling, notching around the rafters. The cantilevered concrete hearth adds seating.
"It put that 1960s home into the next century," Gjesdahl said.
The homeowner agrees.
"The home is now warm and very bright. It brought in this flow of space, so when have a party, people just can flow around the rooms," the homeowner said. "It's fun to get up in the morning."
Phase 2 is next: The master suite is part of the master plan.
"We did master planning for the entire home," Gjesdahl said. "A lot of people are phasing work these days. They are spending within their means instead of doing what led to the bubble bursting."

Johnson pitches Barons to 30th win
White Sox prospect allows four hits in seven shutout innings
By Josh Jackson / Special to MLB.com | May 25, 2013 7:43 PM ET
Count Jacksonville Suns manager Andy Barkett among those impressed by Erik Johnson on Saturday night.
"That's one of the best starts I've seen in this league in three years," Barkett said of the Birmingham Barons right-hander. "That guy had complete control of the game, had a great tempo and threw strikes."
Johnson allowed four hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over seven innings as the Barons blanked the Suns, 3-0, to become the first Southern League team to reach 30 wins this season.
The White Sox No. 3 prospect lowered his ERA to 2.15, which ranks third in the 10-team league. He leads the circuit with a 0.92 WHIP.
"That was a pretty good day at the park," Johnson admitted.
The 23-year-old right-hander, selected in the second round of the 2011 Draft, missed the first half of the 2012 season due to shoulder fatigue. He hasn't missed a beat this season, sitting third in the league with 58 strikeouts over 58 2/3 innings. And in 10 starts, he's issued only 15 walks.
Facing a Jacksonville team that's in second place in the South Division, Johnson (4-2) needed only 11 pitches to get through the opening inning and retired the first seven batters.
"It was nice to have a good start to the game, especially with that first inning," he said. "It's always nice to have a quick inning, no matter what inning it is. That keeps your pitch count down and that allows you to go deeper into games."
Audy Ciriaco singled with one out in the third for the Suns' first hit, but Johnson retired the next two hitters -- top Marlins prospects Noah Perio and Christian Yelich -- to get out of the inning. After allowing another single to Mark Canha in the fourth, he recorded seven consecutive outs.
"You know what the biggest thing for me was? First-pitch strikes," Johnson said. "Every hitter, whether it be a fastball or an off-speed pitch, I was going for a first-pitch strike. Working ahead and getting ahead early really helped me in the long run."
In fact, Johnson missed the strike zone on the first pitch to only five batters, and he never missed with a first pitch twice in the same inning. His only trouble came in the seventh, when Kyle Jensen hit a leadoff single and Zack Cox poked a grounder through the right side with one out. With runners at the corners, Johnson retired Marlins No. 9 prospect J.T. Realmuto and Ryan Fisher to end the threat.
"They're a good hitting team, but I was still working ahead to a lot of those hitters [late in the game]," he said. "They just put some good swings on the ball."
Johnson attributed his immediate success at Double-A to the hard work he put in during the offseason and to the development of one pitch in particular.
"I feel like my changeup is one of my better pitches in my repertoire," the University of California product said. "I've worked hard to get it where it is and I'm comfortable throwing it. That's what I throw whenever I'm really looking for an out. It's become an out-pitch for me.
"I'm thankful to be off to a healthy start. I did everything in my power to stay as healthy as I can and it definitely feels good to have this start to the season. You just have to take advantage of all the chances you get. If you do the small things right, everything else should follow."
White Sox No. 2 prospect Trayce Thompson was hitless but drew a bases-loaded walk. Marcus Semien, Chicago's 16th-ranked prospect, singled, walked and scored a run.

Slayer reveal Hanneman's cause of death, plans for public "celebration"
Listen to Slayer on iHeartRadio
Slayer's Jeff Hanneman died of liver disease. Band members have posted on their website that they've " just learned that the official cause of Jeff's death was alcohol related cirrhosis."
The group says their guitarist had a number of health problems in his final years, including necrotizing fasciitis, and neither he nor those close to him were "aware of the true extent of his liver condition until the last days of his life." They add that was not on the liver transplant list, and "by all accounts, it appeared that he had been improving -- he was excited and looking forward to working on a new record." Hanneman passed away last Thursday. He was 49.
Slayer is also making plans to honor Hanneman. They say they're organizing "a celebration of Jeff Hanneman's life," and are welcoming Jeff's friends, family, and fans to attend. Details are still being worked out, but Slayer wants to host the event later this month.

The team's jerseys will have a gold tank patch sewn on jerseys for this week's conference opener in honor of Alan "Tank" Arrington, the team's offensive line coach who died in an auto accident last December.
To read more or comment...
No one is immune to increased competition on the University of Akron football team.
That includes quarterbacks.
Coach Terry Bowden demonstrated that Saturday against the Pitt Panthers when he pulled starting quarterback Kyle Pohl in favor of his backup, Tommy Woodson, who played his high school football in Western Pennsylvania.
The metaphorical hook appeared on the Zips fourth possession when Woodson found himself the recipient of some playing time.To read more or comment...
The Akron Zips beat the Pitt Panthers unequivocally in almost every phase of the game Saturday at Heinz Field.
The Panthers should have no excuses, but this is reality, not Fantasy Island.
I posted my keys to the game Friday and they were pretty much dead on. Yes, I am patting myself on the back. My final thoughts posted last night, but I omitted one very significant factor in the Zips win.
Pitt thought they were the best team on the field, but the Zips played like it. Colleagues in the press box could see that. They expected UA to roll over and play dead after being smacked on the nose by one touchdown – like in Penn State and even in that instance, UA didn't quit.To read more or comment...
The Akron Zips football earned every right to celebrate their huge 21-10 win over the Pitt Panthers considering the way they played. It wasn't easy, initially, but no one can question their heart. Most of my final thoughts this evening are positive, but as they head into Mid-American Conference play, issues still exist that need correction.
Clearing the hurdle: After coming close against Michigan, hanging tough against Penn State and getting shellacked by Marshall, there's little doubt that coach Terry Bowden was savoring this victory.
"I don't have many sweeter than this. Where we've started and how far we've come, I wouldn't think of a win today," he said. "It's a big win. As much as I just want to savor the victory, it's only going to last seven days. But you can't take a victory like this away from these young men. Four our players to come into Pittsburgh and win this game – it's a big win for Akron.
Chuck Amato's defense redeemed itself: After last week's showing against Marshall that saw them give up 48 points, the Zips defense regrouped. They went back to how they were playing in fall camp – that swarming style of hitting and tackling. It showed in the way they tackled the country's leading rusher, James Conner, holding him to 92 yards on 25 carries.To read more or comment...
PITTSBURGH: The University of Akron football team pulled an upset at Heinz Field, beating the Pitt Panthers 21-10 on Saturday.
Conor Hundley rushed for 148 yards in the win, and nose guard Cody Grice, who played fullback at Firestone High School, scored touchdowns in the win.
Quarterback Kyle Pohl, pulled earlier in the game, came back to lead the Zips to the win with a 15-of-29 passing for 193 yards. He passed for a score.
The Zips defense held the nation's leading rusher, James Connor, to 92 yards in the upset.To read more or comment...
Many thanks to Sam Werner of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for providing insight into the Pitt Panthers this week:
Q: What are James Conner's strengths and weaknesses as a running back, especially given that he is a converted defensive end?
A: Conner's biggest strength is definitely his physicality. He's 6-foot-2, 250 pounds and can absolutely run people over. He has been getting a ton of carries through four games (27.5 carries per game), which is sort of a double-edged sword. On one hand, that sort of workload is very rare in college football and we'll see if it can hold up, but the positive is that as he runs over linebackers and defensive backs, you can tell they start to ease up in the third and fourth quarter and aren't so eager to try and lay a big hit on him. He also is a little bit quicker this year than last, and has some moves.
His biggest weakness is just knowing what the right move is on a given run. Even though he's a bigger back, he can run a bit smaller at times. By that I mean he has a bit of a tendency to bounce things outside or try spin moves to evade defenders rather than just bowling them over. He's definitely better than he was last year, but he needs to remember that he's at his best when he's running north-south between the tackles.To read more or comment...
The Akron Zips have another opportunity to show how they stack up against other programs considered more prominent.
Thus far it's been a mixed bag. They were in the mix for much of the Penn State game. As for Marshall? Yeah, let's just file that one away under the "Oops" category. Now comes, the Pitt Panthers, a team that features a ferocious rushing attack and solid defense. Some would say the Zips could be looking at another blowout. However, some things the Iowa Hawkeyes did in defeating the Panthers last week might serve as a road map.
For UA to beat Pitt, they need to do the following five things.
Score touchdowns not field goals: UA has been abysmal in red zone offense this season. In fact the first-team offense hasn't been able to establish much in the way of continuity since walloping Howard the first week of the season. In the red zone they're a troublesome 50 percent [6-of-12] overall and 33 percent [4-of-12] when it comes to scoring six points.To read more or comment...
The Akron Zips lost 48-17 to the Marshall Thundering Herd at Infocision Stadium. There isn't a lot to say in such a loss, but here are my final thoughts regarding this umm…err…contest.
They had no ability stop the run: Defensive coordinator Chuck Amato said it earlier this week. The Akron Zips defense had to stop the run and make the Marshall Thundering Herd's offense one dimensional. With two running backs – Devon Johnson and Remi Watson – over 100 yards, that didn't happen. That is one area that caused the Zips to lose the game. Yup, they missed linebacker Justin March, who didn't play.
No pressure on Rakeem Cato: When Marshall wasn't running, they weren't getting a lot of pressure on Cato any way. He didn't have his normal 317 yards of passing per game, but he was effective enough. He also inflicted some damage on the ground scoring two touchdowns with his legs.
Their offense did them no favors: The reality, however, is the offense did the defense few favors in this game. There was little in the way of a spark and the scant few times they generated any sense of rhythm it would for naught.To read more or comment...
By the time the University of Akron football team found any rhythm on offense it was too late to drum up anything that could match the rampaging offense of the Marshall Thundering Herd.
The Zips (1-2) spotted the Herd (4-0) a 24-point lead courtesy of an ineffective offense that delivered their opponent four turnovers that led to 17 points – one a fumble on a nice play by a Marshall defender and the other courtesy of an interception after a pass breakup. More importantly, two of those gifts came in the red zone with UA having the chance to get back in the game.
Marshall used that advantage to beat the Zips 48-17 at Infocision Stadium.To read more or comment...
The Akron Zips will into their game against the Marshall Thundering Herd without three starters.
The biggest hit may come in the person of Justin March who was injured during the Penn State game. March, one of the team's defensive leaders, will miss the game. That means junior Dylan Evans will step up and fill his rather substantial shoes.
The offense will take the brunt of this, losing two starters. Starting running back Jawon Chisholm will miss the game with an injury. It will provide someone at the running back an opportunity. More than likely that will be redshirts sophomore Hakeem Lawrence.
Coach Terry Bowden said earlier this week that the Florida native had earned some more reps in game situations. This looks like it could be the day that fate dictates that happens.To read more or comment...
Call it part deux of the three trials of the Akron Zips. The first came last week against Penn State where the team had opportunities that they squandered and essentially ran out of gas.
This week it's Marshall, a former member of the Mid-American Conference, that is off to a 3-0 start, a feat that's impressive itself, but it's also a matter of how the Thundering Herd arrived at that record to open the season.
Marshall comes into the game averaging 44.7 points per game (No. 15 nationally) and better than 620 yards (No. 2 nationally) of total offense per game under the guidance of quarterback Rakeem Cato, a senior quarterback from Miami, Fla.
This could very well be the Zips' stiffest test on defense all year. That's not to say they're not up to the challenge. UA owns the sixth-ranked scoring defense in the nation giving up just 10.5 points per game. Marshall is no slouch in that category either, ranking No. 19 giving up 16 points per game.To read more or comment...
After losing to Penn State 21-3 on Sept. 6, the Akron Zips host the Marshall Thundering Herd on Saturday at 2 p.m. How can Akron keep up with one of the nation's fastest offenses? Zips beat writer George Thomas breaks down that and more.
To read more or comment...
Akron Zips coach Terry Bowden sounds as if he's looking for a little more pop in the team's running game.
What exactly does that mean? Don't expect senior starter Jawon Chisholm to go anywhere. Chisholm just needs to find a rhythm in a game to get going. And Conor Hundley is a straight ahead back that fights for tough yards.
But Bowden would like to see Hakeem Lawrence, a speedy redshirt sophomore out of Florida, get some reps.
He said Lawrence, who played as a true freshman, but redshirted last season, was toughened up by the experience and that his hard work has earned him a look. Then there's the fact that he's one of the two fastest players on the team, the coach said.To read more or comment...
With his West Virginia roots, it should be of little surprise that there are ties for the Bowden family to the Marshall Thundering Herd football program.
University of Akron football coach spoke about those ties – including his father Bobby's portrayal in the movie We Are Marshall which told the story of the aftermath of the airplane crash involving the football team in November of 1970 – at his weekly press conference.
The Zips take on the Thundering Herd, a team expected to win Conference USA this year, that comes in averaging 44.7 points and over 600 yards of offense per game this Saturday at InfoCision Stadium.To read more or comment...
According to a University of Akron source, the NCAA ruled today that former Firestone High School standout and transfer from Ohio State, Tommy Brown, will be eliigbile for the season.
Brown, who sought a waiver after transferring to UA just prior to preseason camp, should provide help on the line.
Brown, 6-foot-4 and 310 pounds, is eligible to play against Penn State, but whether he will remains unclear.To read more or comment...
Men's golf coach David Trainor has received a contract extension through 2017, the University of Akron announced Friday. Trainor has led the team in 2011. Read the full news release below:
AKRON, Ohio -University of Akron men's golf head coach David Trainor has received a three-year contract extension, Director of Athletics Tom Wistrcill announced on Friday. The extension, which is pending approval by the UA Board of Trustees, will keep Trainor at the helm of the program through the 2017 season.

"I am thrilled with the committment that Tom Wistrcill, the Board of Trustees, and the University of Akron has made in me and our men's golf program," Trainor said. "My family and I have enjoyed our time in Akron, and look forward to leading this program in the future."To read more or comment...
Many thanks to Nate Bauer [@NateBauerBWI] from BlueWhite Illustrated, a Rivals.com site, for taking the time to provide some perspective about Penn State and what the Akron Zips can expect when they invade Happy Valley Saturday for a game that will be televised on ABC (WEWS Channel 5) Saturday.
Q: How does James Franklin differ from Bill O'Brien? Was a culture change necessary? Or were there just tweaks?
A: In terms of personality, they couldn't be more different. O'Brien liked to have fun, but his general demeanor was typically pretty gruff and hard to crack. His players and staff generally loved him though. Franklin's players and staff also love him, but his outward persona is effervescent, he's always got a smile plastered on his face and to the general public, he's infinitely more approachable than O'Brien.
Within the program, though, both coaches did and do many of the same things. There is a renewed vigor at Penn State that had faded toward the end of Joe Paterno's tenure, and many of the kicks in the pants O'Brien brought to the program have simply been furthered by Franklin. One area that has seen a dramatic improvement, however, is in recruiting. No doubt, O'Brien was working under the constraints of NCAA sanctions against the program that made recruiting a nearly impossible game both in quality and quantity, but now that there's light at the end of the tunnel, Franklin has absolutely shot out of a cannon and has made strides in both areas.To read more or comment...
Once again, the Akron Zips will face one of those Power 5 conference teams – Penn State - in a matchup that could raise the program's profile.
Is there upset potential there? What applies on any given Sunday also is relevant for any given Saturday. Coach Terry Bowden has said that a team grows faster between games one and two than at any other point in the season. Here's where we see whether that is the case. Here are the primary keys to the game:
Though impressive, ignore Pohl's numbers [62 percent completions, 308 yards, four TDs] from the win over Howard University. He took a big step toward assuming ownership of the Zips after enduring an extremely lackluster second quarter against the Bison. It was during the lull with UA up by 21and Howard blitzing from all over the place. Yes, they held the Zips scoreless, but in the third quarter Pohl, who took the blame for that period of time, came right back in the second half to put the offense on track. It showed leadership – definitive leadership. However, his offensive line, which is still gelling, will have to solidify faster to take on a defensive line featuring Deion Barnes and Anthony Zettel, who, along with linebacker Brandon Bell, combined for five tackles for loss. As of this posting, there was still no word on right tackle Tommy Brown, who was listed as the No. 1 right tackle prior to the start of the season, and his waiver application from the NCAA.
This is the one area that could be picked apart last week. Take away Pohl's 48 yards of rushing and the running game – to be generous – was ineffective. The running backs combined for 21 carries for 65 yards. Starter Jawon Chisholm couldn't get into a rhythm. It could help that he's going home this weekend – he played high school football in Harrisburg. The reality is he and backup Conor Hundley will have to run well enough to keep Penn State off their game because Bowden is expecting more, telling media he wants prefers five yards per carry to two. He is, however, pragmatic.To read more or comment...
It's been a good week for University of Akron quarterback Kyle Pohl.
In addition to being selected Mid-American Conference offensive player of the week for the East Division earlier this week, Thursday he was chosen MAC male scholar athlete of the week.
Pohl currently holds a 3.75 grade point average and is majoring in exercise science.
In the 41-0 shutout victory over Howard, Pohl led the Zips with a career-high four touchdown passes on 23-of-36 passing for 308 yards. He threw three touchdown passes in the first six minutes of action, as each scoring drive was under 38 seconds. Pohl led all rushers with a career-high 48 yards on seven carries.To read more or comment...

Home Theater Curtains & Media Room Shades
- Prevent or reduce glare on screens
- Solid shades are ideal to block light
- Blackout shades offer total darkness
- Soften light with solar or cellular shades
- Curtains will block additional light seepage
Get rid of the distracting glare on your television screen with home theater curtains and blackout shades. Solar screen shades and semi-opaque cellular shades will uniformly soften light to minimize glare, while a blackout shade will completely darken the room. Please keep in mind that "blackout" only applies to light passing through the fabric and you may need to consider light going around the sides of the shade. Curtains are also a practical solution in this case and will be able to completely cover your existing blinds or shades. Solid shades will always be more effective at reducing glare than blinds with slats and holes that allow light to pass through.

"Great value for money!"
By amberdana from Becker MN
I spent a lot of time shopping for custom drapes for my two big picture windows; it was impossible to find off the rack drapes wide enough, and custom drapes through Costco's partner company were insanely expensive. I am so happy I found Blindsgalore--the employees I telephoned and emailed were so professional, and I am so happy with how great my drapes look!View this product

I have always used microcontrollers to build circuits , specially robot brainsrecently i got interested in SBCs as they provide too much processing power could be fairly enough to implement big algorithms with sufficient memorys to store large data and little execution time(500 mhz).googeling SBCs i found most of em is based on the ARM processors, are those microcontrollers or microprocessors?with no expierience in SBCs at all i would like to know how this stuff is programmed its stated that you can run an Operating system on it , Linux mostlyis it only a kernel? or with a distro?how would you use it when there is no monitor?thanks already for answers
I say that as many people I know who try to jump from M$ windoze to Linux usually struggle because they don't realize that Linux does things differently than M$ does.
I imagine like most Linux sistems without the monitor you could connect to it via telnet or ssh if you have a network connection.
One thing that will help you if you are thinking about using a Linux based SBC is to get a cheep computer (or just an old hand me down) and run Linux on it to get used to the environment, because it will be easier to use Linux to work on your project that it will be to use your Windows computer.
but generally if you aren't going to be using a laptop or extremely new hardware, installing Linux shouldn't be too hard for any one who has enough technical proficiency to build a robot
well lets put it this wayits a linux kernel that comes already in the board, like linux 2.6 (olimex boards)and you have to make a distro , well is this distro the thing goin to control the bot?in mcus the program would be written in c on pc,then compiled into hex file then downloaded into an mcu and runs therewhat is the sequence in sbcs?thanks
You don't 'program' it as you do with mcu's. Instead you compile executable files, just like the files you run on a PC but compatible with the SBC's processor (ARM for example). Then you just transfer it to the SBC's memory (could for example be an onboard flash memory, or a usb stick memory connected to one of it's USB ports, if it now has any USB port).
When you use Linux on an SBC you don't 'use' a distribution so much as make your own. With the right tools it's not so hard just more involved.
With Linux installed you just have to rewrite your C application that runs on Linux then transfer it to the SBC, overriding the previous one, you don't have to reinstall Linux.
Thanks for creating this thread. There is tons of useful information as im also in the beginning of learning about SBC's.
I also really appreciate this thread because one of my goals is to learn hardware/software at the level where I can make a ARM/Linux based robot
thats interesting, so what are the tools ? is it somthin like visual c++ (i use this when i program in c++) ?
For Linux you use gcc (GNU C Compiler) for ARM.
or you could ssh into that machine and edit your code in a Vim running on the robot. I think that's still valid with "your favourite editor" since Vim is my favourite editor
supposing i did write a program in c++ for the ARM micrprocessor then i save it on a flash usb memory,then ill plug it into the sbc, how do i make the sbc then read it?QuoteFor Linux you use gcc (GNU C Compiler) for ARM.does this compiler run over windows?
fdisk -l
mkdir /media/usbmemorymount /dev/sda1 /media/usbmemory

The far and the wide
Next up: OSCON. Get there if you can, and give them my regards because I can't make it this year 😦
A wide assortment of issues and items have cropped up in the last several days, all of which are newsworthy and most of which cry out for comment. On the latter, that's what I do. After all, they don't call it "commentary" for nothing.
So let's take a look at some of these digital news blurbs, like
RMS: Just say no to the Cloud: For once, I am completely and unequivocally behind the man behind the GNU. Richard Stallman wrote an article appearing in the electronic version of Der Speigel outlining the dangers of so-called cloud computing. It's fairly simple — your data, held remotely, is not really your data since you don't have possession of the drive that physically holds it. Yep, call me "old school" about this, and I'll thank you for it.
But why is it in Orlando? The release schedule for Ubuntu 12.04 is out and it looks like the UDS — that Ubuntu Developer Summit to the unenlightened — will take place at the end of October or early November, in Orlando, Fla., as usual. Why? Disney World? Who knows?
Who's on first? Though not a news item per se, Carla Schroder wrote an excellent piece on Linux.com about how to find out who and what is on your network. The Linux.com tutorials and "weekend projects" are generally top notch and very educational, and this one in particular takes one through how to go about doing some router spelunking.
Meanwhile back in the Sunshine State . . .: Florida is getting a lot of attention. Red Hat is holding its North America Partner Conference on Oct. 25-27 in Miami. That's about 240 miles south of Orlando, where the UDS will be taking place about the same time, possibly. It's a straight shot down the Florida Turnpike, if you're interested. According to the VAR Guy, "the event signals a shift for Red Hat, which previously lumped partners and customers together at the annual Red Hat Summit."
Now if you'll excuse me, I have an appointment to fiddle with a newly installed version of CrunchBang.

Ricoh introduces an M mount-compatible module for its GXR systemWednesday August 10 2011
The M-mount originally introduced with the Leica M3 camera in 1954 is not subject to intellectual property laws as Leica no longer holds the patent.
Since this date more than 35 Leica-branded M-mount lenses have been produced, along with the offerings of several companies that have also conformed to this format such as:
Elcan, Konica, Minolta, Voigtländer, Rollei and Carl Zeiss
When talking film-photography some cameras other than Leica are compatible with the M-mount; however in the digital photography world so far only Leica cameras have continued using this legacy approach.
Now Ricoh has launched a new module that is compatible with the more than 80 M-mount lenses ever launched and here are some of its specs:
- This module, dubbed "A12" belongs to the GXR category (GXR Interchangeable Unit Camera System)
- With this system it is possible to 'replace' the core of a camera or the place where its sensor is embedded.
- The sensor is an APS-C-sized CMOS that measures 23.6mm x 15.7mm
- It is bound to have in-house distortion correction capabilities on both barrel and pincushion and the user will be able to specify the strength of such corrections
- While not having an optical or EVF it will be possible to magnify the screen image by 4x and 8x in order to help focus the lens
- It features two shutter methods: a "newly developed focal plane shutter" and an electronic shutter
- Manual exposure with B (bulb) and T (time) modes.
- 1280 x 720 pixel video capabilities
- Approximately 12.3 effective megapixels
The Ricoh GXR A12 Mount is expected to launch on September 9th.
- See the image quality reviews and specs for other M-mount compatible cameras such as the Leica M8, the Leica M9 and the Leica M9 P.

Topic: Embolization experiences (or other pallative options for large tumors)
As noted in my previous topic, I am on the clinical trial for Sorafenib to treat Stage 4 CC. Right now one of my biggest issues/problems is reference pain in my back which we believe is caused due to the size of my primary tumor in the liver (~6cm X 8cm). In one of my consultations at UCSF (not where I am being treated) the doctor had suggested that chemo embolization might be an option to help relieve symptoms related to the primary tumor size. My doctor here in Seattle has downplayed this option. Wondering if anyone has experience with embolization of a large tumor and whether it helped significantly reduce any reference type pains that I'm experiencing?
Thanks! -Hans

Whine whine moan moan. And the joke is, when you DO get the jailbreak installed, Cydia will be so overwhelmed that you won't be able to dl anything. And most of what you finally DO get won't work until the devs update stuff. Calm down, breath slowly, be happy that there is finally going to be an untethered jb (I'm still running an i4 w/5.1.1 because of that, will get an i5 when the jb is released), and say only good things about a bunch of people who are taking their time and putting in their effort to do something nice for you (you sniveling little ingrates! ) for no money. And, remember, Apple will probably put out 6.1.1 soon to stop all of this from continuing. Enjoy the window of opportunity while you can. Oh, and NO ONE SAID it would be released today, so there's no point getting your panties in a bunch if it isn't.
I may have to start running a stock phone, the infantilism of (some of) the jailbreaking community is starting to get to me.
Actually most tweaks have already been updated for 6.1, some will still need update and some may need additional work. Also Cydia is coming ore-loaded with repo info that is, according to Saurik, supposed to almost eliminate the Cydia lag.
In the meantime, the "h8ers" are being more productive than the non-hating crowd,
like releasing an iOS6 and A5/A6 compatible blob extractor!
iH8sn0w.com: iFaith v1.5
I was only going by what Saurik had said on Reddit. But I guess you know better. I'm just not in that much of a hurry. My iph4s is running just fine and my iph5 is ready to go.
Quick!!!! It's out!!!! Everyone rush over there and get it!!! Nowwwwww!!!!!
(Nah, but I do like seeing them all scurry!)
dsg: then what fun would that be (and thanks for all the help when the last untethered jb came out)?
gibabe: for those of us that have been on these forums for a long time, it just seems like the quality of posts is devolving in a constant whine. There used to be a lot of helpful posts and community here. Now it just seems like a bunch of middle school kids saying
"I wan it, I wan it."
Folks, what it comes down to is it comes out when it comes out. You don't like that fact feel free to develop your own jailbreak. Can't develop your own then deal with the fact that the dev's will release no version before they are comfortable with the fact that it won't trash phones and damage their reputations.

Fluoride Treatments May Help Fight Cavities
Latest Oral Health News
FRIDAY, Nov. 1 (HealthDay News) -- Applying prescription-strength fluoride directly to the teeth can benefit patients at increased risk for cavities, a new expert panel concludes.
This fluoride can be applied by patients at home or by a dentist in the office, said the new evidence-based clinical recommendations from the American Dental Association.
"Topical fluoride therapy is the use of fluorides in tooth pastes, gels or varnishes that come in contact with the tooth surfaces in the mouth," explained one expert, Dr. Ronald Burakoff, chairman of the department of dental medicine at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, in New Hyde Park, N.Y.
"These therapies can either be professionally applied in higher concentrations or used at home in lower concentrations," said Burakoff, who was not on the ADA panel.
In its report, appearing in the November issue of the Journal of the American Dental Association, the panel said further research is needed, but topical fluoride might be helpful for people at increased risk of developing cavities.
According to Burakoff, those people may include children from poorer families, special needs children or adults, children living in areas that don't have fluoridated water, people with a family history of dental decay, or children or adults who for whatever reason have not been able to access dental care.
The ADA panel said dentists should determine a patient's risk for developing cavities by conducting a tooth decay risk assessment. People deemed to be at high risk might then be helped by the following:
In addition, the recommendations say that APF (acidulated phosphate fluoride) foam should not be used in children younger than 6 years old due to the potential for swallowing the foam. Meanwhile, the foam is also not recommended for children older than 6 years old and adults due to a lack of evidence for benefit.
Patients should not be worried about any side effects from fluoride treatments, Burakoff added. "Current scientific literature supports that when fluoride is used in the correct doses there are no adverse outcomes," he said.

I remember sitting at my computer in early August, contemplating; should we go back to Chile? Is it worth it? Is there snow? Can we make it happen? Alex Yoder and I had been dancing around the idea for several months. The summer was winding down and it was time to make a decision. There's something about just saying "fuck it," throwing all cares to the wind, and just committing. It's a feeling you get when you're nervous about something you know you have to do—then you just man up and do it. It was time to commit. A Rob would go, he would already have been down there, one chair ahead.
The crew met in the Atlanta Airport food court. Alex Yoder, Gray Thompson, photo master Tim Zimmerman, all American video bad-ass Colton Feldman, and myself. Jason Robinson flew down two days later, and Sammy Luebke came at the tail end of the trip. Spirits and motivation were high. Most of the crew had never met before, and some had never been out of the country, besides Canada, but that doesn't count. We had seen posts on the web and heard it was dumping. Boarding the plane I felt like a little kid on Christmas eve.
It stopped snowing the day we got there. We landed in Santiago. Jet lagged and weary, we picked up the rental car, some food, and headed up the curvy road to El Colorado Ski Center. The sun was setting and spring was in full effect. High in the mountains we looked down at the city through polluted clouds. We all saw the greatest sunset of our lives that night. We snapped some photos and went to bed.
The trip was in motion, the wheels were spinning, who knew what was going to happen. No plan, no responsibilities, we were down there to take what we could get and document everything that happened. The first few days in El Colorado were completely gray bird and a tad bit icy. The snow level was especially low compared to last season. We were eager to ride and shoot. Hot laps were in full effect, we scoured the mountain for any unique features to board.
At the end of the day it was time to revisit the past. I had been thinking about this moment for a while now. We took up our last chair and headed over the the ridge above the Santa Teresa road laps. This is the run that A Rob had passed away on the previous year. On the walk out to the ridge the day was replaying in my mind. The weather was erie, broken up clouds and a soft gray light shining on the brown snow and rocks. The day felt the same as my last day shredding with A Rob. I pointed out the spot where he made his final turns. We tied a cross together out of wood, carved his name in the side, and jammed it into rock. We all sat together reflecting, no photos, no words, just silence.

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Lindsey Wilson College
is a hard habit to shake.
That's what LWC President William T. Luckey Jr. told more
than 350 guests Thursday night at the college's annual Founders'
Day Dinner, held in Roberta D. Cranmer Dining & Conference
"This college has always had people who have been
passionate for this place," Luckey said in the keynote address.
"More than any rational person should have cared. ... There is an
irrational passion associated with this college. This place is like
super glue -- it just grabs you and you just can't shake it."
Luckey became the college's eighth president
on July 1, 1998, but he has served the liberal arts college for 30
years. Luckey and his wife, Elise, have held various administrative
and staff positions during that time.
"Elise and I have now invested 30 years of our lives
trying to make a difference in the lives of our students here at
Lindsey Wilson College," he said. "I have absolutely loved working
with students, trying to help them create a better future for
themselves because I've always believed so intensely in the
transformational power of a college degree."
Luckey, who is a first-generation college graduate, told
the guests that he's a walking example of the power of higher
education to transform a family.
"I don't know anything more powerful to break the chains
of ignorance and to change a generation than a college degree," he
Over the last decade, LWC has experienced one of the most
successful periods in the college's 110-year history: enrollment
has increased by 69 percent to its record 2,677; faculty has grown
by 93 percent to its record 114; more than 300,000 square feet of
academic and residential space have been added; and residential
student population has blossomed to its current level of 1,099.
Luckey said that a record number of students, faculty and
staff have been attracted to the college because of its authentic
"There's a genuineness in the people we encounter here on
this campus and in this community," he said. "We're not pretending
to be something that we're not or even aspiring to be somebody
else. We're just trying to be the best Lindsey Wilson College and
best people that we can be. And that's so rare in this day and age
when so many colleges make decisions based on the rankings in
U.S. News & World Report."
Luckey said that "this intoxicating spell that compels
all of us to be drawn to this place" shapes how LWC students view
their place in the world. Many of them are imbued with a strong
sense of social justice and service. For example, LWC students
donated more than 30,000 hours of community service this year to
the region's communities.
"The things that make this place special, money can't
buy," Luckey said. "There's not a stock, or a bond or a CD that you
can buy that gives you a better return on investment than investing
in the life of a student right here at Lindsey Wilson College."
Because of the college's supporters, LWC has become a
place where "dreams come true," Luckey said.
"For many of us in this room, this place, this campus,
this college is as close to heaven on earth than many of us will
ever experience, and it certainly is the place where dreams come
true," he said.
The Founders' Day Dinner was preceded by the annual
honors convocation in Biggers Sports Center, where more than three
dozen academic and professional awards were presented. The
President's Award was presented to Kendall Sewell
of Somerset, Ky., who will graduate next month with a bachelor of
arts degree in English with a minor in women's studies.
Assistant Professor of Chemistry Brian Hilker received with
the Exemplary Teacher Award from the General Board of Higher
Education & Ministry of The United Methodist Church; Assistant
Professor of Communication Anne Streeter was named
Advisor of the Year; and Instructor of History Asa Swan was named Student
Government Association Teacher of the Year.
Former art professor and administrator Lori
Sargent was granted faculty emerita status.

Kagame, the son of a deputy chief of the Tutsi people, was baptized in 1928 and ordained a priest in 1941. His considerable activity before and after taking his doctorate at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome in 1955 included teaching, editing the journal Kinyamateka ("The Herald"), and research that resulted in a number of scholarly works. He then resided at the Catholic Mission in Butare, where he divided his time between priestly duties and scholarly pursuits.
Kagame's major books include Inganji Karinga (1943; "The Victorious Drums"), a history of the ancient Rwandans; Isoko y'Amäjyambere, 3 vol. (1949–51; "Sources of Progress"), an epic poem; La Poésie dynastique au Rwanda (1951; "Dynastic Poetry of Rwanda"); and Introduction aux grands genres lyriques de l'ancien Rwanda (1969; "Introduction to the Great Lyrical Poems of Ancient Rwanda"); and La Philosophie Bantu comparée (1976; "The Bantu Philosophy Compared"). His masterwork, however, a long narrative Christian epic conceived in 1941, is Umulirimbyi wa Nyili-ibiremwa, 3 vol. (1950– 1950; "The Singer of the Lord of Creation"), which consists of 35,000 lines arranged into 150 cantos. Lesser-known works include a novella, Matabaro Ajya Iburayi (1938–39; "Matabaro Leaves for Europe"); a historical poem, Umwaduko w'Abazungu muli Afrika yo hagati (1947; "The Arrival of the Europeans in Central Africa"); and some lighter, humorous works.


text: GW girls sink Capital By Ryan Pritt December 12, 2011 Story Share Kenny Kemp Capital's Key Key Dudley (1) and Tanija Spencer fight for a rebound with George Washington's Kayla Stewart (left) in Monday's game. Capital rolled into Monday night's game against George Washington with a lot of momentum, having already knocked off Class AAA No. 8 Huntington to open the season.That momentum carried the Cougars early, but in the end the height of No. 3 GW proved too much as the Patriots overcame an early deficit to take a 61-44 win at Capital.The Cougars finished with a rough 2-17 record last season but generated some buzz after knocking off the Highlanders on the road. In fact, the buzz was so loud GW coach Jamie LaMaster could hear."It was a wake-up call to my kids when they looked in the paper and saw [Capital] beat Huntington by [five], and it grabbed my attention real quick as well," LaMaster said. "We had played Huntington in fall ball and summer tournaments and we know that program and what they've done. Then to come over here and face a Capital program that beat them - I hope we learned a lesson about respecting opponents and valuing the basketball."Taking care of the ball was a thorn in George Washington's side all night as the Patriots turned the ball over 20 times. But the inside force of senior Alexa Peoples as well as the inside-outside game of Kelli Harrison was enough to overcome mistakes.Harrison had a monster game, recording 21 points and 16 rebounds, and Peoples tallied 19 points and 11 rebounds."We knew they weren't very strong in the post, but they are good rebounders," Harrison said. "But me and Alexa Peoples kind of figured it out."Early on, the pressure of Capital led to plenty of fast breaks and took the Patriots out of their game a little bit. Peoples attempted just one shot in the first quarter and Capital led 16-11 after the opening eight minutes.But about midway through the second quarter, GW went on an 11-0 run to claim a 26-20 lead and the Patriots never trailed again. "We came out with the same energy we played with down in Huntington," Capital coach B.J. Calabrese said. "Then you could kind of just tell there was a stretch there around three-minute mark of the second quarter where a couple of things didn't go our way, and we got our head down. We left a couple of shooters open, they hit a couple of shots. Next thing you know we turn it over a couple of times then you're down five at the half."The Cougars cut it the deficit to one to open the third quarter, but senior guard Tanijia Spencer picked up her fourth foul early in the frame and the Patriots ran the lead back out on the strength of a 13-3 spurt."Capital is by far the most athletic team I've scouted or seen to this point," LaMaster said. "They gave us a lot of trouble because although we're bigger inside, they're quicker across the floor. If you try to make that diagonal pass or make the first pass and go to the second one, they jump the lane and take it and it's a layup right now."You hope your guards can handle what pressure they put on you and take good care of the ball and value possessions and then play half-court basketball both offensively and defensively because we can't play at that tempo for 32 minutes. I think when we did settle in and play, that's when we played our best basketball tonight and got the ball inside."While GW seems poised to make another legitimate run toward the state tournament after a 3-0 start, the wild card in the Kanawha Valley may be the Cougars as Capital has displayed raw talent and potential. Those are two things Calabrese hopes he can harness as the season progresses."It's really tough for me to tell," Calabrese said when asked how much his squad had improved since last season. "I think we're greatly improved over last year. "Everyone tells me we're greatly improved over last year. But we're just going to have to find out in the long run where we're at. We'll find out over the next two weeks with some teams we should be successful with. Time will tell."Spencer led the Cougars with 12 points, and Key Key Dudley chipped in 11.Reach Ryan Pritt at 304-348-7948 or email@example.com.

Crisis from the Underground Up! (激走!!バトルサブウェイ!!(前編) Flat-out Run!! Battle Subway! (Part One)) is the 49th episode of Pokémon: Black & White.
Ash and co. finally arrive at Nimbasa City, where Ash hopes to get his fourth badge. Cilan is happy as a kid in a candy store to be on a subway as he's a Metro Connoisseur, and as they were riding, they suddenly stop and saw a mysterious ghost train passing through. They meet Ingo and Emmet, the Subway Bosses of the Battle Subway who are investigating the cause of this disturbance. However, as Ash and co. got to the Pokémon Center, all communications has been cut offline, and the Driftveil Drawbridge is offline too. Plus, Meowth's plan had come to fruition, but what is it? He's going to betray Ash and co. by going back to Team Rocket as he steals every Pokémon in the Pokémon Center including Pikachu and Axew in their ghost train.
Episode Plot
The heroes has arrived to Nimbasa City. Cilan checks that many trainers come to participate in many battles, which is why Nimbasa City has many facilities around. Meowth tells them he needs to go to the Pokémon Center, for he is exhausted. Ash wants to go to the Gym right away, but Iris hears Pikachu and Ash's stomachs grumbling, thinking they should also get a meal. Cilan leads them to the Subway, for this is the only means of transport in Nimbasa City. Iris thinks he is a little kid to love trains, but Cilan replies he is a Metro Connoisseur. Cilan admires the trains, but Ash thinks it is an ordinary cart. Cilan explains that is a double train, the first mass-produced train to contain small number of machine parts, for it can travel faster and is less expensive to manufacture. As Cilan continues to ramble, Meowth pulls him away, for they all are hungry.
Inside a train, Iris tells Cilan he is embarrassing them, for he is starting at a window. Cilan points out there is nobody controlling the train, for it is automatized, controlled by the main computer. Suddenly, the train stops, as the emergency system has been activated. Iris notices a train passing by and remarks he has not seen such a model, while the others tell it is a ghost train. Iris and Ash spot two lights in the distance, which Cilan recognizes as Subway Bosses. Cilan clarifies to Ash and Iris they are responsible for running the Nimbasa Underground. Ingo and Emmet arrive and fix the system, making the train to be powered again. Ingo and Emmet are glad to see Cilan again, being an subway lover. They explain that some days ago this haunted train appeared and goes through the subway. However, they cannot stop it, plus it vanishes mysteriously. Cilan is enraged someone would do that, though Meowth pulls him away.
When they come to the Pokémon Center, the heroes admire its size. Nurse Joy tells them the Center is large, for there are quite many trainers that battle around Nimbasa City. Meowth heard of the relaxation chambers and would like to go there to rest. He asks the twerps to send their Pokémon to enjoy the relaxation, which they do. As Ash, Iris and Cilan go to eat, Meowth forgot something and goes to phone someone. Meowth calls Dr. Zager, telling him to initiate the operation and goes back to go to the relaxation room. Ash remembers he needs to make a call. Meowth comes back and explains to Axew and Pikachu Audino or Nurse Joy need to touch the pad to unlock the door, for that is a security system. Ash calls Prof. Oak and tells him he is in Nimbasa City. Oak is pleased to hear that, but Dr. Zager disrupts the communications, causing Ash to lose the link with Oak. Meowth tells Audino to take a break, while he has an evil grin on his face, for Pikachu and Axew are asleep. Dr. Zager manipulates the drawbridge.
While Ash tells Iris and Axew his call with Oak got cut off, Meowth opens a vent and throws every Poké Ball he can find, including Axew and Pikachu. The Pokémon go through the vent, into the train, controlled by Jessie and James, knowing Officer Jenny is busy with the drawbridge problem. The heroes arrive and Joy warns them the drawbridge has been manipulated. Cilan sees it is part of a plot to steal Pokémon. When they enter the relaxation room, they see it empty. Ash, Iris and Cilan find an alternate route by crawling their way through the vent, while Meowth meets with Jessie and James. Dr. Zager stops all the trains, while Ingo and Emmet are terrified someone hacked into the system. The heroes encounter Team Rocket and the haunted train. The truth is revealed; Meowth was lying about being fired from Team Rocket and was traveling with the twerps to earn their trust, so Team Rocket could steal their Pokémon. Jessie sends Woobat, who uses Air Slash., to distract them as Team Rocket rides the train.
Ingo and Emmet see this is Team Rocket's plot. They tell even with the trains stopped, Team Rocket can still continue through the connecting lines to get away. They know Team Rocket cannot go directly, though they cannot see them on the map. On the map, the Bosses see they have to go through a central point, allowing them to set an ambush. The heroes want to take a cart to rescue the Pokémon, which the Bosses will allow. They get aboard the cart and start the engine, while the Bosses try to fix the system. After a while, the heroes reach the point and encounter the train. Ash jumps, but the train collapses and explodes in a smoke, causing the cart to crash. Ingo and Emmet managed to fix the system, so Cilan reports they crashed and Team Rocket used a decoy trains. The Team Rocket train passes by, though the Bosses have them locked. However, more dots appear on the map, so they see Team Rocket is using more decoy trains, but cannot determine which is the correct one.
- "But I want to look at the pretty trains some more!" - Cilan
- "Who's That Pokémon?:" Woobat
- Meowth leaves Ash and his companions, revealing that his "turning over a new leaf" was merely a plot to infiltrate the Pokemon Center.
- The official site listed this episode under the title "To Catch a Ghost Train".
- This episode was shown in the UK before it aired in the U.S. not once but twice.
- This marks the first time since the start of the Diamond & Pearl series to mention Tracey.
- Strangely Ash and co. crawl along on their bellies while traversing the vent even though the vent is high enough to accommodate crawling on their hands and knees (which would be a faster way to move).
- Meowth pulled Cilan in a fashion Brock was pulled by Misty, May and Croagunk.
Dub differences
When Ingo and Emmet pointed their fingers up in the original, Ingo said, "We need to investigate further". However, in the dub, Ingo said "Always follow safe triangles. Point your finger to signal OKAY!".

4 Big Stocks on Traders' Radars - views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- Put down the 10-K filings and the stock screeners. It's time to take a break from the traditional methods of generating investment ideas. Instead, let the crowd do it for you.
From hedge funds to individual investors, scores of market participants are turning to social media to figure out which stocks are worth watching. It's a concept that's known as "crowdsourcing," and it uses the masses to identify emerging trends in the market.
>>5 Huge Stocks to Trade in May
Crowdsourcing has long been a popular tool for the advertising industry, but it also makes a lot of sense as an investment tool. After all, the market is completely driven by the supply and demand, so it can be valuable to see what names are trending among the crowd.
While some fund managers are already trying to leverage social media resources like Twitter to find algorithmic trading opportunities, for most investors, crowdsourcing works best as a starting point for investors who want a starting point in their analysis. Today, we'll leverage the power of the crowd to take a look at some of the most active stocks on the market today.
>>5 Stocks Insiders Love Right Now
These "most active" names are the most heavily-traded names on the market -- and often, uber-active names have some sort of a technical or fundamental catalyst driving investors' attention on shares. That's especially true now that earnings season is officially underway. And when there's a big catalyst, there's often a trading opportunity.
Without further ado, here's a look at today's stocks.
>>Stocks Are Doomed. Buy More Stocks.
Advanced Micro Devices
Nearest Resistance: N/A
Nearest Support: $2.90
Catalyst: Takeover Rumors
>>5 Rocket Stocks to Buy for May
Rumors at chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) are spurring shares higher for a third session today, after speculation of a possible buyout offer from Intel (INTC). While the rumors are just that as of this writing, they're enough to produce some real gains for AMD shareholders. Shares of AMD are up more than 22% in the past three trading sessions alone, pushing the semiconductor stock to a new 52-week high.
Making new highs is significant from an investor psychology standpoint because it means that everyone who has bought shares in the last year is sitting on gains. As a result, the "back to even" mentality is less of a concern than it would be for a name with a higher proportion of shareholders sitting on losses. Traders who aren't too risk-averse may want to consider buying here.
MGM Resorts International
Nearest Resistance: N/A
Nearest Support: $13.50
Catalyst: Earnings Beat
>>5 Rocket Stocks to Buy for May
Casino operator MGM Resorts International (MGM) is another name that's breaking out to new highs today, only in MGM's case the reasons are a little more palpable. MGM reported its earnings numbers before the bell this morning, posting a surprise profit of 1 cent per share for the first quarter. Analysts had been expecting MGM to lose 10 cents per share instead, so the news gapped shares up early in today's trading.
The move is bullish for the same reasons as the jump in AMD -- it's just less prone to headline risk. If you're looking to build a position in MGM, the momentum remains strong in this stock right now.
Alpha Natural Resources
Nearest Resistance: $7.50
Nearest Support: $6.75
Catalyst: Q1 Loss
>>5 Stocks Set to Soar on Bullish Earnings
Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) is getting hit by sellers today. Shares of the small-cap coal miner are down more than 6% this afternoon after it announced a deeper first-quarter loss. Even though the 50-cent per-share loss was smaller than the 58 cents in the red that analysts were expecting, investors didn't mirror the consensus view on Wall Street. They're unloading shares right now.
As bad as the 6% decline looks in ANR today, it could actually be worse. Shares of the miner have been stuck in a downtrend since the start of 2013, and today's selloff isn't particularly important from a technical standpoint. As long as ANR can hold support at $6.75, investors may as well hang on.
General Motors
Nearest Resistance: N/A
Nearest Support: $31
Catalyst: Earnings Beat
An earnings beat is sending shares of carmaker General Motors (GM) higher, after the firm announced first-quarter EPS of 67 cents. Analysts only expected the firm to earn 54 cents in the first three months of 2013. Car sales continue to steam on ahead in their biggest market, the U.S., and that's helped to buoy GM's fortunes in the last year. Today's earnings announcement is breaking the stock out to new highs, a bullish signal from a technical standpoint. Don't let that new high water mark scare you -- GM's momentum isn't showing any signs of weakening right now.

Does anyone think that Long Island will be alright tomorrow on sunday? I know today was good but will the winds be soft enough since they're onshore to surf tomorrow?

Does anyone think that Long Island will be alright tomorrow on sunday? I know today was good but will the winds be soft enough since they're onshore to surf tomorrow?
early morning is the call right now.
also, i've been looking at the cams and it looks a lot smaller than 5-8 at rockaway. I thought I might break my board on the wood posts like i did last time because of the size and also i just thought it was too big to be fun for me so i didnt go, but it only looks 3-4 realistically
if you watch the cam long enough you're going to see some big bombs come through. I don't think right now is the right time to go. I'm waiting for low into high this afternoon. which brings me to tomorrow... by the time the afternoo rolls around it will be junky so you'll have to take what the early morning is going to give us.
i think swellinfo is way overcalling
Long beach was 4-6 ft clean and fun
It was about shoulder high this morning, if that, in Central Florida. Will go out tomorrow a.m. But I doubt it will be as big as the forecast of 8-10.
Gilgo was firing with head high and well overhead high sets... Got some bombs in between getting worked on the inside. Im thinking tomorrow will be around head high with a nice long period. In fact the buoy currently reports swell period at 16 secs!!... MFitz has got a point about the winds coming up, so get on it as early as possible to avoid those closeouts.
I would suggest getting off the internet and actually look at the ocean. surfed 2-3 hours at Roosevelt Ave in Long Beach. It was easily head high, with well overhead sets. and then there would be a bomb set come through every now and then.
While that is just my subjective opinion, here is some objective, scientific proof. Swellinfo forecasted a 5 foot swell. Buoys were between 7-8 feet all day, with a long period.
But please, stay in your mom's basement, looking at swell cams, and telling us how small it was.

Dear Ms. [xxx]:
This replies to your request for an advance decision on Ms. [xxx]s claim for severance pay. For the reasons discussed below, the claim is not payable.
Ms. [xxx] was employed by the [Agency] as an air traffic control specialist. In early 1994, employees at that facility received notice from the FAA that certain activities, including Ms.[xxx]s function, would be contracted out in 1994. Her job was contracted out effective October 29, 1994, and she resigned from the FAA effective that date. She subsequently applied for severance pay, but her claim was denied.
The basis for Ms. [xxx]s claim is that she never received a written offer of a new position, and therefore, did not reject a "reasonable offer", as that term is defined in the applicable regulations. 5 C.F.R. 550.703. However, as explained below, Ms. [xxx] is applying the wrong regulation.
Different regulations apply to separations effected by the agency and to resignations in anticipation of an agency-effected separation. The former situation is governed by 5 C.F.R. 550.704. This regulation provides, among other things, that an employee who is removed from Federal service by involuntary separation may not receive severance pay if the employee declines a reasonable offer, which essentially means another position within the commuting area. Section 550.704.
Ms. [xxx]s situation, however, is governed by section 550.706(a). This regulation authorizes severance pay for employees who resign because they expect to be involuntarily separated if they have received either "specific written notice" that they are to be separated or a "general written notice of reduction-in-force or transfer of function". The notice of the agencys intent to contract out the work at Ms. [xxx]s facility does not meet either criteria since it did not state that any employee would be removed. In fact, the record shows that no one was involuntary removed because of the decision to contract out that work.
Had the agency involuntary separated Ms. [xxx] as a result of its decision to contract out the function--which did not happen here--then, the question of whether she declined a reasonable offer would be relevant to her eligibility for severance pay. However, because she resigned before the agency acted, the only question is whether she received either of the written notices described above. Because we conclude that she did not, she is not eligible for severance pay.
Very truly yours,
Paul Britner Senior Attorney
