Bats in the Caribbean | Explore Research
The Florida Museum has produced dozens of videos for their series "Explore Research," which highlights research done at The University of Florida. The Museum serves as a conduit to disseminate highly technical university-based research to the public in a language they can understand. Explore Research is an area of the Museum's public exhibits that has been built just for this purpose. Each video, along with a 3-dimensional exhibit, runs for several months and can be seen by Museum visitors for free. The video below is a video that we produced with the Museum about our research in the Caribbean. It features Ph.D. candidate Angelo Soto-Centeno.
Primate DNA tells us about the history of an African rainforest
October 29, 2012
We know that all animals are dependent on their environment. They need resources like food and mates. If their habitat changes, we expect that to have an impact on their population. For example, if their forest expands, we expect that their population will grow. Alternatively, if their habitat shrinks, then their population will likely shrink too. Because of this, if we know the size of an animals population in the past, we can make hypotheses about what has happened to their environment in the past.

The game also features a popularity-based scoring system which allows players to unlock increasingly acrobatic and devastating moves based on the player's ability to gain the support of the audience through the execution of taunts aimed at humiliating one's opponent, as well as holds and other moves both legal and not. The game allows you to play as one of 30 real-life AAA wrestlers from Mexico's premiere wrestling federation. In this you have the choice to play as either a "Tecnico" (Face/good guy) or a "Rudo" (Heel/bad guy). Each of these has their own storyline in the single player campaign. In addition, players can create their own luchador character and take him all the way to the top of the game. Either way you play, Lucha Libre AAA: Héroes del Ring is a refreshing change of pace from games that have come before it and a true evolution of the wrestling genre.

Derby Runner Intense Holiday Put Down
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Intense Holiday, the 12th place horse in this year's Kentucky Derby has been put down.
The horse went into surgery late last month for an injury to his right front leg. While recovering, Intense Holiday developed laminitis in both forelimbs. Doctors say their treatment options were limited and the horse was put down Thursday. The horse's owners had already retired him from racing and had planned to have him stand at stud once he recovered.

Sonoma State University Police Services is proud to announce the release of The Center for Personal Protection and Safety instructional DVD and training program designed to empower students, faculty, and staff with knowledge and strategies for preventing and surviving an active shooter situation.
"Shots Fired On Campus" provides individual student, faculty and staff members with critical guidance on how to recognize and survive an active shooter situation.
You can access this training from any personal or campus computer on the University premises. The video is posted on Sonoma State University's intranet. It is not posted on the internet. Due to copywrite laws, this video is only allowed to be viewed from on campus.

the ones listed in the wiki work out of the box.
The last time I played with bt was back in 2.0 days with a senao nl2511cd plus ext2 card which was a complete pain to get working btw, but my dumb ass stepped on it in a drunken stupor stumbling around the room and bent it at an almost 90 degree angle. Lesson learned, no more hardware lying around the floor... This time around I just don't have the time to play around as much anymore as I used to and would rather just get something that will work from the minute I pop it in. Is there anything out there in the 200-300mW range for $50 or so, or would I have to shell out more cash than that?
the ones listed in the wiki work out of the box.
For Back track 4 beta this is what i have tested and found working flawlessly right out of the box (monitoring+injection):
1. Linksys WUSB54GC (the old and ever working, you probably knew that already)
2. ZyXEL G-202
Both are USB and are tested with both VMware and bootable DVD.
I'm still a noob at this but in my opinion it seems that the ZyXEL works faster and better.
It could maybe have something to do with its superior reception compared to the Linksys. In my neighbourhood i receive 3 AP's with the Linksys and 6 with the ZyXEL.
I have not tried my D-link DWL-G630 E2 (PCMCIA-card) yet but i will soon.

Most law enforcement pants on the market treat everyone like they're built the same, and sacrifice usability and comfort for the sake of a professional look or vice versa. Blauer's premium pants, however, are carefully and expertly engineered to defy that trend.
First, all Blauer pants use the best available fabric technology (including options ranging from cotton to Nomex®) to achieve the perfect blend of tactical flexibility and breathable comfort. You will not find a pant which allows you a greater range of motion in your everyday work as a law enforcement officer, while still retaining durable characteristics which keep you looking professional no matter how many times you put Blauer pants through the wash.
Next, decades of experience have refined the fit of Blauer pants to accommodate a wide variety of body types, including pants engineered specifically for female officers. By working with officers in the field, and observing how garments survive tactical environments, Blauer has achieved unparalleled success in creating the best possible pants for the actual world you work in, no matter what the climate or weather is like.
Technical features also include the careful placement of pockets for actual items that you carry with you, including adequately-sized pockets for log books, flashlights, knives, and more – all placed to maximize their utility and your ability to access your gear when seconds count.
From spending time on the range, to the harshest possible tactical environments, Blauer pants are available in options to fit your exact needs. Read the reviews that real officers like you have posted about our lineup, and you'll see that nobody beats Blauer when it comes to providing you with the best possible pant for your day, every day.

A news series featuring art selected by me. There will be a wide range of themes and genres covered. In addition, there will be periodic interviews and artist spotlights.
If you like this article, please add it to your favorites to help spread the love for the art and artists within.
Daily Features
On my profile page, I feature a new deviation every day (or two or three). The piece is usually something that caught my eye. Could be an amazing digital painting, a fun stamp, a quick photograph that made me smile, perhaps a piece for a weekly theme, whatever. However, it moved me enough to share it with my visitors. Below is a list of the artists which I featured during October 2012. I am showcasing different pieces from their gallery in the hope of showing them a bit more love. If you would like to see the original piece I featured of each of these artists, please visit this folder.

:thumb106381715: :thumb337135336:
:thumb327147023: :thumb331187884:
Spotlight Interview
In this series, I hope to introduce the community to some artists who have been around dA for a while, but are still relativity unknown. The interviews are meant to be short and sweet. I encourage you to check out the artist's full gallery and add them to your devWatch.
-- This issue, we talk to digital artist, Niraven
Could you introduce yourself and tell us a little about yourself and your dA life? (You can use this question to plug any groups or off-dA projects you may have.)
I'm Niraven, aka Tawny to some. I'm a self-taught artist and joined dA 5 years ago. I'm not actively involved in any major clubs or so, but over the years I've built up a nice little network here and visit almost everyday.
What would you say your main artform is? Secondary?
I'd say my main artform is actually traditional, and my second is digital coloring/painting. I'd call traditional my first because, unknown to many, I actually draw out all my linework by hand and scan it before I color an artwork digitally. As vibrant as the digital artwork is, and even though it's the main featured art form in my gallery, you will find 400x more traditional artwork around my actual workplace.
When did you start pursuing your art? What prompted you to?
Art's been a part of my life ever since I was born, and it was something that was recognized, encouraged, and thus pursued from a young age in one form or another. I actually come from a line of traditional painters on both sides of my family. Though there was no pressure to actually pursue art, it's always been a passion of mine. I started working with digital art around 8 years ago and started taking commissions regularly about 4 years ago. Telling me to live a life without creating artwork is like telling me not to breathe.
What is your favorite piece in your gallery at the moment?
This is actually also one of my newest artworks, too. I spent more time on this than any artwork to date and really wanted to bring it to life.
In general, what is your favorite thing to create (i.e. fan-art, poetry, etc) ?
Fan art is fun, but my favorite is depicting darker characters and concepts-- whether they're original, fan-made, etc. I like the edginess and it reflects my personality and many of my passions as well.
Just for fun question: What is your favorite movie?
Now that's a tough question. If I had to pick one, I'd actually have to pick a handful. My favorites include Wall-E, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, James Cameron's Avatar, Shaun of the Dead, The Addams Family, and The World's Fastest Indian.
Time to spread the love. Who are 3 artists you feel could use more love? Tell us why you love them. (please select one piece from each of the artist's gallery and send me the thumb)
Ikaruga-Riku (alt. account Purgatory-Maren) is an incredibly talented traditional artist I met years ago on a games forum, who became one of my best friends. He mainly does ATC- Artist Trading Card commissions (the originals of which are sent to commissionees), and could use a lot more love. Seeing how fine his detail work is and how much he brings characters to life in person is amazing.
Ideya-Freak is another close friend I met via a games forum originally. I've watched her grow and her art improve so much over the years we've known each other. She's also predominantly a traditional artist who uses colored pencils. Her blending is absolutely incredible.
Another deviant who has become a dear friend of mine. I've watched EsaKris go from basic traditional work to very clean and professional digital work in just a couple years. She could always use more recognition.
Final words?
Yes. Go give my friends' pages a look and give them some love and commissions.
Some of my picks from :devniraven's gallery:
Themed Feature
A friend and I were talking about designing original characters and the fact that there are only so many hair colors, eye colors, and general appearance traits, that most characters are going to resemble another character somewhere. The character we were specifically discussing has black wavy hair. So, with that on my mind, that's the theme of this weeks search feature.

Janelle Monae cancels dates for mandatory vocal rest
Listen to Janelle Monae on iHeartRadio
Janelle Monae is canceling some dates on her "Electric Lady" tour.
The singer has been put on mandatory vocal rest as she tours in support of her sophomore album. She's canceled her Wednesday and Thursday shows in San Diego and Phoenix.
Janelle apologized in a message to fans on her website, saying that having to gave them a rain check has left her "heartsick and shaken" because she lives to connect with fans and give them "a one of a kind concert experience." Explaining her need to rest her voice, the singer compared herself to a smartphone, saying that "even the most expertly designed android breaks down sometimes and must recharge."
She will return to the stage on Saturday in Dallas but has yet to reschedule the canceled dates.

Hey guys,
Ok I've had it, I've tried every guide known to man about installing nvidia drivers and I still get the stupid "no screens found" error when I try to startx. I have an Intel i5 x64, running BT5R3 64bit GNOME with a Geforce GT630M 2GB, have tried installing nvidia drivers via apt-get, have downloaded them from nvidia website a million times and tried that way but it all just leads to the "no screens found" error when I try to startx.
If I disable the nouveau driver I can install the nvidia drivers fine(otherwise I get the "nouveau driver must be disabled first" error if I don't), so the nvidia drivers install fine, then it creates the xorg.conf file itself during the nvidia install, it's after that when I try to startx I get the no screens found problem. If I then rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf I can startx straight away and its back to fine and default(other than slow scrolling and jerkiness etc!).
So that's it, I'm out of guides/how-tos and forum posts to try, so I'm in need of some CLEARLY said help. Anyone out there actually fixed this problem?

ARCADIA - Color the comeback of Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens complete.
The winner of three Kentucky Derbies and eight Breeders' Cup races emerged from a seven-year hiatus to win Saturday's first race at Santa Anita aboard the Tom Proctor-conditioned filly, Branding, by 2 lengths while covering seven furlongs in 1:23.94.
"You can consider me a full-time rider," said the Caldwell, Idaho, native who has been doubling as an analyst on HRTV and will turn 50 on March 6. "They were getting with it the first quarter of a mile and I thought they might come back to me. My filly was traveling real well around the turn. She didn't really accelerate coming into the stretch but they stopped pretty good.
"I worked out quite a few horses this morning and the track because of the wind that we had and the real dry conditions was perfect for snow, but not exactly a racetrack. It was a little on the cuppy side and tiring."
Branding, a 3-year-old Kentucky-bred filly by Street Sense, was Stevens' third mount in a comeback that began Jan. 6 at Santa Anita. Owned by Leonard Lavin's Glen Hill Farm, Branding had been idle since her debut on June 28 at Betfair Hollywood Park, a race in which she broke slowly and was beaten by 15 lengths by eventual multiple stakes winning filly Executive Privilege.
As 9-5 favorite Tizmetizyou and 14-1 long shot Rhinestone Diva, ridden by Jose Valdivia and Julien Leparoux respectively, battled it out through fractions of 22.47 and 45.55, Stevens allowed his filly to gather herself and by the time the field reached the far turn, it was apparent Branding was on the move and would make her presence felt.
Tizmetizyou stopped the six furlong timer in 1:10.72, but the result was a fait accompli at that point as Stevens and Branding sailed by approaching the sixteenth pole to win clear.
Branding, off at 5-1, paid $13.20, $6.80 and $3.80. With the winner's share of $33,600, she ran her earnings to $33,950.
With Saturday's win, Stevens now has 4,889 in a remarkable career that also has included a record nine Santa Anita Derby wins, two wins in the Preakness, three Belmonts and, at the time of his retirement in November, 2005, $221,212,704 in purse money won.
Stevens will ride four horses today at Santa Anita, including Tale of a Champion, who is scheduled to run in the Grade II, $150,000 San Gabriel Stakes for older horses at 1 1/8 miles on turf. The San Gabriel has been carded as the eighth on a nine-race card and Tale of a Champion is 8-1 on the morning line. First post time is 12:30 p.m. today.
Fed Biz, Smith triumph
Fed Biz, considered by many to be Bob Baffert's top 3-year-old a year ago, made amends for a disappointing run in the opening day Malibu with a gate-to-wire win in Saturday's Grade II San Fernando Stakes.
Fed Biz won by a head under Mike Smith and ran the 1 1/16-mile in 1:42.34. The win was Baffert's record fifth in the prestigious middle leg of Santa Anita's Strub series for newly turned four-year-olds.
"I expect so much from this horse. When he loses, it's very disappointing," Baffert said. "He's a very talented horse and he was good today going to the gate and he ran well. In the Malibu, he went to the gate and he tried to sit down in there so it was a tough go."
Fed Biz, sent from the gate by Smith, who broke from post position eighth in a nine-horse field, set fractions of 23.59, 47.28, 1:11.41 and 1:36.08 while being closely pursued by Tritap, with Corey Nakatani, and Handsome Mike with Mario Gutierrez.
"I really liked him when I breezed him before the race on opening day and for some reason he got really hot," Smith said. "I hadn't taken two steps inside the gate and he was over (and he) threw me out the back, and he just wasn't right after that."
Smith, asked about the San Fernando stretch duel with Tritap, acknowledged Fed Biz is maturing in all aspects.
"Early on, he used to be a little stubborn about switching to his right (lead)," Smith said. "Once I got him over there, he's game, he wouldn't let somebody by him unless they surprised him."
As for what might be next for the 4-year-old son of Giant's Causeway, Baffert indicated the Grade II Strub Stakes on Feb. 2 could be a bit too soon, which makes the Grade I Santa Anita Handicap on March 2 a more likely destination.
"I ran him back too quick after we beat Jimmy Creed (in the El Cajon Stakes on Aug. 31) at Del Mar," Baffert said. "I don't want to do that again."
Fed Biz, the morning line favorite at 7-2, was a post time overlay of 9-2 and paid $11.20, $6.20 and $4.40.
With the winner's share of $90,000 Fed Biz, who is owned by Kaleem Shah, Inc., increased his bankroll to $274,456 from an overall mark of 8-4-0-1.
Tritap, who broke from the far outside under Nakatani, showed good speed while going four-wide into the Club House turn. He engaged the winner around the far turn, battled head to head with him to the wire and finished a half-length clear of Guilt Force and Joe Talamo.
Tritap, trained by Steve Asmussen and off at 9-1, paid $9.80 and $6.40.
Guilt Trip, one of three Baffert trainees, came with a big run from off the pace and finished 2 3/4 lengths in front of Battle Force and Garrett Gomez.
"Looking back, I wish I had just circled the field," Talamo said. "I think if I'd have gone five-wide, I don't know if he'd have won, but he came flying. He's a nice horse."
Guilt Trip, off at 7-1, paid $5.60 to show.
Baffert's third runner, Mile High Magic, was off as the 4-1 favorite and was eased under Martin Garcia after breaking in the air and slowly.
With 28-1 shot Chasing the Heat taking the ninth and final race on Saturday, there is a two-day pick-six carryover into Sunday of $231,345. The pick six will cover races four through nine. The total pool could reach $1 million by fourth race post time.

Man's Girlfriend and Side Piece Both Show Up At Hospital After His Car Accident
If you wind up in the hospital after a car accident, you're having a pretty bad day, but for one guy that happened to, his terrible night was just beginning.
He was being treated by the medical staff, his girlfriend next to him for support, when his side piece showed up.
In the drama-filled video, one woman screams, "I called and asked to come up here," and the other shouts, "He was with me last night." Someone else talks about calling security while shocked nurses comment on how the man's heart rate was going up.
Hopefully the guy, and his love life, make a speedy recovery.

The lending industry spent much of 2012 fearing the avalanche of consumer-friendly mortgage rules that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was working on. Uncertainty is not good for the lending market, they said. After some of these major rules were issued recently, that anxiety eased somewhat as lenders and consumer groups applauded most aspects of the rules.
But just as lenders thought they could put the days of uncertainty behind, questions were brought up: What if the appointment of the CFPB's head is ruled unconstitutional? What if all the new mortgage rules are overturned as a result?
The hype began after a federal court of appeals ruled that President Barack Obama's recess appointment of three new members to the National Labor Relations Board violated the Constitution. The appointments were invalid because the Senate was technically not in recess on that day, the court says. Richard Cordray, the CFPB director, was appointed on the same day as the NLRB's members.
A CFPB spokesperson says, "The bureau is not a party in the recently decided case, and the court's ruling has no direct effect on the bureau."
The ruling certainly raises questions and takes away some of the certainty that lenders thought they were beginning to have regarding mortgage regulations, says Julia Gordon, director of housing finance and policy for the Center for American Progress.
"The housing market needs these rules to be in place," she says.
Before anyone hits the panic button, put big emphasis on the "ifs" behind these questions.
The NLRB case still has to go through the Supreme Court. If the Supreme Court upholds the decision, Cordray's appointment could be called into question. But even if that becomes the case, it wouldn't automatically invalidate the recently released mortgage rules.
"A conclusion that the Cordray appointment was invalid would leave a number of issues to be resolved as to the Bureau's authority," says David Beam, an attorney and partner at K&L Gates in Washington, D.C. "For example, certain provisions of Dodd-Frank might be interpreted to say that certain powers conferred on the Bureau could be exercised only by a validly installed director."
But the courts might still rule that the bureau has the authority to take a number of significant actions even without a director, Beam says.
"In short, if courts finally decide that Cordray's appointment was invalid, it is possible that they will invalidate some of the actions that the Bureau took, but not all," he says. "In other words, the result might not be all or nothing."
And remember that while there may be questions about the rules, Gordon says, "There are certainly no questions about the statute." Some of the major rules that the CFPB has issued recently -- including the qualified mortgage or ability-to-repay rule -- were mandated by the Dodd-Frank law. And with or without Cordray, Dodd-Frank isn't going anywhere.

FSQT2AAE: Quark AA² Tactical Gen 2 Cool White LED
The second generation XP-G LED lights are 20% brighter on all output levels while maintaining the same runtimes as previous models.
The Quark series offers a staggering array of options, accessories and interchangeability. With a wide range of LED, battery and clip choices, you get the features you want without compromise. Available in a Pro multi-mode interface or a Tactical interface with programmable primary and secondary outputs, these lights can be used in a wide variety of settings and applications. Waterproof and constructed with aircraft-grade aluminum and impact-resistant lenses, Quark lights are tough enough to meet any challenge.
The Quark Tactical subseries operates with a significantly different User Interface than the regular Quarks. This UI allows the user to program both primary and secondary outputs.
Operating your Quark Tactical is simple. Insert the battery with the positive side (+) towards the head. Make sure the head and tailcap are tightened, then depress the tailcap button fully so that it "clicks" and the light turns on. You can also press the tailcap lightly (you don't have to "click" it on) to activate the light momentarily. This is known as the momentary-on feature.
The Quark Tactical can memorize any two modes of output, from its eight total modes, to be instantly available. These two memorized modes are accessed by either tightening or loosening the head (for example, tight can be Max, and loose can be Low).
Programming Modes:
To have your Quark Tactical memorize a different mode, turn it on and loosen the head by a half-turn. Then, tighten the head at least four times rapidly (twisting it tight, then loose, then tight, etc., four times). After the fourth time, leave the head tight or loose depending which position you want to program.
After three seconds, the light will flash, signaling it is ready to be programmed. Cycle through the eight available modes by clicking the tailcap off and on. The mode sequence is as follows:
Moonlight -> Low -> Medium -> High -> SOS -> Strobe -> Beacon
Once you find your desired mode, leave that mode on for ten seconds and the light will flash again, confirming that the mode has been memorized. To cancel programming before it flashes, turn the light off for three seconds.

Novak misrepresented Byrd's action to falsely claim precedent for "nuclear option"
Columnist and CNN host Robert Novak falsely claimed that a parliamentary maneuver by Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) in 1977 constitutes a precedent for the so-called "nuclear option," an effort by Senate Republicans to abolish filibusters of judicial nominees by changing Senate rules using a controversial parliamentary technique. In fact, the example Novak cited of Byrd's "clear past use of parliamentary maneuver to force majority rule in the Senate" has little in common with the "nuclear option" that Republicans are currently contemplating.
In his April 21 nationally syndicated column [1], Novak cited a fall 2004 article [2] by lawyers Martin Gold and Dimple Gupta published in the conservative Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy [3] in which the authors argue that actions by Byrd and other past majority leaders provide ample precedent for the "nuclear option." Novak specifically mentioned a 1977 action by then-Senate Majority Leader Byrd in which Byrd "smashed a liberal filibuster against natural gas deregulation." According to Gold and Gupta, Byrd "attempt[ed] to exercise a variant of the constitutional ["nuclear"] option" in order to break a filibuster. In fact, Byrd's 1977 action provides no precedent for the proposed "nuclear option."
A standard filibuster occurs when senators exercise their full rights under Senate Standing Rule XXII [4], which requires a three-fifths majority (60 votes) to invoke cloture -- i.e., cut off debate -- on "any measure, motion, [or] other matter pending before the Senate." By contrast, Byrd's action in 1977, as described by Gold and Gupta, was a successful attempt to break a post-cloture filibuster. By October 3, 1977, 60 senators had already voted for cloture on the deregulation measure, but Sens. Howard Metzenbaum (D-OH) and James Abourezk (D-SD) continued to extend debate "by proffering a slew of amendments without debating them (thus preserving their time for debate) and then forcing quorum calls and roll call votes for each proffered amendment" [p. 262-63].
In order to end the post-cloture filibuster, Byrd invoked Rule XXII, which states that "[n]o dilatory motion, or dilatory amendment, or amendment not germane shall be in order" after the Senate votes to invoke cloture. The precedent Byrd set was novel only because he interpreted Rule XXII to allow the chair of the Senate -- i.e., the vice president -- to rule the dilatory amendments out of order without first requiring a point of order from a senator on the floor.
In the case of 10 of President Bush's judicial nominees, the Republican leadership has been unable to amass the 60 votes required to invoke cloture and cut off Democratic filibusters. (Democrats have allowed votes on the vast majority [5] of Bush's nominees, 205 of whom have been confirmed to date.) Indeed, Republican senators are currently considering the "nuclear option" precisely because they lack the 60 votes to invoke cloture on the initial filibuster.
The second difference between Byrd's actions and the present "nuclear option" is that while Byrd's action set a new precedent governing Senate procedure, this new procedure did not contradict the plain language of Rule XXII or any other standing rule, as the progressive advocacy group People for the American Way pointed out in its detailed response [6] to Gold and Gupta's article. Gold and Gupta quote Byrd explaining his reasoning at the time: "I make the point that when the Senate is operating under cloture the Chair is required to take the initiative under Rule XXII to rule out of order all amendments which are dilatory or which on their face are out of order." By contrast, the "nuclear option [7]" contemplates changing Senate rules by a simple, 51-vote majority. Such a rule change would directly contradict Rule XXII. The rule states that a three-fifths supermajority vote is required "to bring to a close the debate any measure, motion, [or] other matter pending before the Senate," including judicial nominations, "except on a measure or motion to amend the Senate rules, in which case the necessary affirmative vote shall be two-thirds of the Senators present and voting" [emphasis added].
The Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy describes itself [8] as "the nation's leading forum for conservative and libertarian legal scholarship." Gold is a former floor adviser to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN), and Gupta is a former employee of the Bush Justice Department. A March 7 analysis by Jeffrey Toobin in The New Yorker noted [9] that a draft of Gold and Gupta's article made the rounds of Senate Republicans at the end of 2004.

During the minor league portion of baseball's annual Rule 5 draft, the Oakland A's lost outfielder Eliezer Mesa to the Detroit Tigers and infielder Michael Gilmartin to the Cincinnati Reds. They selected two players: third baseman Tom Mendonca from the Texas Rangers and catcher Steven Hill from the St. Louis Cardinals. Unlike the major league portion of the Rule 5 draft, minor league Rule 5 selections are not required to remain on any particular roster during the 2013 season in order to be a part of their new organization long-term.
Mesa was the player-to-be-named-later from the Colorado Rockies in the Mark Ellis deal in 2011. The speedy outfielder played at three levels for the A's in 2012: Low-A Burlington, High-A Stockton and Double-A Midland. The majority of his at-bats came with Burlington, where he hit .294/.326/.412. He hit .130 in 13 games with Stockton and .179 in 18 games with Midland.
Mesa has plus speed and is a solid defensive outfielder. He swiped 25 bases in 29 chances in 2012 and stole a career-best 29 bases for Low-A Asheville in 2010. Mesa is currently playing in the Dominican Winter League, where he is batting .321/.357/.434 in 53 at-bats. He is 24 years old.
Gilmartin was the A's 27th-round pick out of Wofford in 2009. The left-handed hitting infielder had spent the past two seasons with the Stockton Ports. In 2011, he was a mid-season Cal League All-Star and hit .264 with a career-best 14 homers.
Gilmartin got off to a slow start with Stockton in 2012 and hit only .256/.339/.360 in 118 games. However, he was one of Stockton's best hitters during the second half of the season, when he hit .311/.397/.453 in 212 at-bats. Gilmartin can play second, third and short. He is 25 years old.
Mendonca was once a highly regarded prospect in the Texas Rangers' chain. The Rangers' 2009 second-round pick out of Fresno State posted an 898 OPS in the pitcher-friendly Northwest League in 2009. He slumped to a 722 OPS at the High-A level in 2010 but rebounded to post an 827 OPS and hit 25 homers at the Double-A level in 2011.
The Rangers attempted to move Mendonca off of his natural position of third base to catcher during the spring of 2012, but the experiment was unsuccessful. He got off to a poor start to the season at the plate, as well, hitting only .208/.249/.329 in 63 games with Triple-A Round Rock. Mendonca was sent back to Double-A for the final six weeks of the season and hit .277/.342/.455.
Mendonca has always had good power, reaching double-digits in homeruns in each of his three full minor league seasons. However, he has struggled with his plate discipline throughout his career. In 2012, he walked only 19 times while striking out 121 times in 332 at-bats.
Hill brings a little bit of major league experience to the A's organization. The former St. Louis Cardinals' 2007 13th-round pick appeared in nine games for the Cardinals in 2012 and one game for St. Louis in 2010 (he homered in that game). Hill spent the majority of the 2012 season in Triple-A, where he hit .266/.326/.488 with 17 homers in only 87 games.
Hill joins A's minor league free agent signing Luke Montz as Triple-A depth for the A's major league catching corps. The A's graduated two of their Triple-A catchers to the major leagues in 2012 (Derek Norris and Josh Donaldson) and traded another (Anthony Recker). Hill and Montz both bring power bats to the position. Hill has reached double-digits in homers in all of his professional seasons and Montz had 29 homers last season and hit seven in 87 at-bats this winter in the Mexican Winter League.

105 Year Old Texas Woman Attributes Her Long Life--to Bacon!!
A North Texas woman has hit 105 years old...and she attributes her long life to--bacon!
Pearl Cantrell, who lives in Richland, southeast of Dallas, talked with 1200 WOAI news today about her love of bacon.
We ended up talking with her son, Bill Allen, who calls himself his mom's chief bacon fryer, talked with us because Pearl is hard of hearing.
"This morning she woke up about 6:00 and said, 'you got my bacon ready?' I said, no, but I will in a minute.
Pearl recently celebrated her 105th birthday with a three day party which included, you guessed it, donations of bacon from the Oscar Meyer Company, which also allowed Pearl to ride shotgun in the Weinermobile.
"She has eaten bacon all her life," Allen said. "Back when I was little, Daddy used to kill a hog and we would have fresh bacon."
Allen says bacon is the first thing Pearl talks about in the morning.
"How long have you been eating bacon," he asked Pearl.
"All my life," she replied.
Bill says his mom downs two strips of bacon every day.
Rather than a birthday cake for her 105th birthday, Pearl had, yup, bacon.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by HoustonFrog, Apr 18, 2013.
By many people on this forum...yes, he did.
and Belliceks record in the SB since Weis and Crennel left: 0-2
and what has Bellicek won since Weis and Crennel left?
The 1995 Browns went 5-11.
It can be a fact. It can also be pretty damn meaningless.
That's true. In the 8 years since those guys left, Belichick has won an abysmal 8 playoff games, including 2 conference championships (stats most HC's would kill for).
Here's the key difference you seem not to realize: Belichick without Parcells has won 3 Super Bowls and 5 AFC championships while Parcells has won squat. But unlike Belichick, Crennel and Weis were abysmal failures once they were out on their own, so it's pretty tough to make the argument that they were the brains behind the face.
Nice try, though!
2 conference championships and 8 playoffs games. There's probably no more than 1 or 2 HC's that can make that same claim over the past 8 years.
8 playoffs victories in 8 years is a bit better than 0 in 7 years, wouldn't you agree? Awful lot of guys have won 0.
So did the 2000 Patriots. I've never claimed the guy never had any down years. I'm just saying that in 7 years of being an HC without Bill Belichick, Bill Parcells never won a single playoff game.
You can play that game with little Bill too. He was a losing coach before Tom Brady. Got fired in Cleveland. Was mediocre in New England until the all timer came along.
I'll take Parcells over him. He can show up anywhere and turn around any team regardless of the cast of characters he's got to work with. At any age, too. All Belichick was proven is he can win big with arguably the greatest QB ever to play the game.
Oh, and study Tom Landry's career. I'm pretty sure you can do the never won anything without this assistant thing for him too.
It's about an agenda.
You show me a great coach and I'll show you some great players.
And all Parcells has done is show he can win with the greatest defensive player ever to play the game - not to mention a future Hall of Fame coach working for him.
Bill Belichick without Bill Parcells: 3 Super Bowl Championships, 5 Conference Championships.
Bill Parcells without Bill Belichick: 55-57 career record, 0 playoff wins in 7 years.
I'd take Parcells over Belichick any day.
One guy desecrated the game by blatantly breaking the rules despite recently being reminded that it was against the rules. Then he lied each and every step of the way after getting caught. First saying that they didn't do it. Then saying they only did it a little bit. Then saying that they only did it against the opposing team's defense. And also never acknowledging the accusations by other teams that they were messing with their radio signals.
Once one of the main helpers in cheating came forward, they looked to ruin his career. And saying that he 'couldn't pick him out of a lineup', even though he was standing next to him in 3 different yearly team photos.
The other guy didn't desecrate the game and greatly helped increase the popularity of the league in the 1980's. Not to mention, the other head coach has won with Phil Simms, Jeff Hostetler, Drew Bledsoe and Vinny Testeverde as his QB's. The other hasn't won squat without Tom Brady.
But rarely has there ever been a great coach who has a clear line of demarcation in his career revolving around just one specific individual player.
The Pats scored 12 points and gained 268 yards that game in 2003. Dallas turned the ball over 3 times and the Pats turned it over once.
The Panthers scored 20 points and gained 244 yards in the regular season of 2003. A couple of gift pass interference calls set up some easy scores for the Panthers.
The Panthers did have an offensive explosion in the playoffs. Newman decided to play like a rookie that day and the defense as a whole played poorly.
The 2003 defense was a good one. It wasn't great and certainly had some holes that needed to be improved, but it was good. Most notably they needed a better rush end opposite of Ellis, a better corner back opposite of Newman, a better defensive tackle to play alongside of LaRoi Glover and depth at every position.
The problem in 2004 was not only did they not improve those obvious weak points, they actually got worse at those positions. And to make matters worse they loss Darren Woodson to injury.
Bill Walsh and Joe Montana say hi. And so do Chuck Noll and Terry Bradshaw.
Kinda funny how I just named 2 of the greatest dynasties of the Super Bowl era, huh?
As the old saying goes: You are entitled to your own opinions. You are not, however, entitled to your own facts.
Please educate yourself as to what actually happened and I'll be happy to further discuss the matter with you. I cannot, however, discuss the matter with someone who has no clue what happened.
The fact is you just don't like to hear the facts.
I have read 'SpyGate: The Untold Story' book and poured thru numerous newspaper and magazine articles with regards to the subject. I've also talked with associates of mine that work for different teams around the league and some with FOX Sports and ESPN. Most of them are not happy with what the Patriots did, felt that they got away with cheating and hurt the integrity of the game.
If you really wanted to talk about the case and where I'm 'wrong', you would have. But, you would just be misrepresenting the actual facts of the case and having to debate the merits of cheating all the while putting your Patriots pom-poms on.
He cheated. He lied. Then he lied some more. And then when he was repeatedly questioned on the matter...he kept lying until he ran of story thread to lie about. Goodell covered it up because it was a black eye on the integrity of the game and well...in general he's a boob who will ruin the games popularity in about 10 years.
Oh, and he was fined by Goodell....only to receive a raise for an undisclosed amount about 3 weeks after he was fined (aka Kraft covering his fine for him).
Few comments about this:
1) Parcells was a coach who over three decades left each team he coached for better than he found it, with different coaches and players. That is unarguable results. He had warts, as every single great has had, but he is a very remarkable person to have been involved with the NFL. Any argument about this is asinine.
2) Whether his success is to be attributed to Belichek is also asinine. 100% it's attributable to Belichek. And Belichek may never have gotten where he did without Parcells. Or Brady. And Tom Brady wouldn't have been drafted if not for the QB coach of NE in 1999. And Peyton Manning didn't win a Super Bowl without Marvin Harrison. And Landry didn't win one without Staubach. And so on and so on. There is not a single person in all the NFL who didn't achieve greatness without talent around them. Even if it's true that Parcells never won something without Belichek, good for him for working so long WITH Belichek. To me that's just another great eye for talent and a testament to Parcells.
3) thanks for the suggestion on the above book, Yakuza. I know little about spyware but that piques my interest. One thing I do agree with, Goodell is an absolutely horrible commissioner for the NFL.

New Program targets chronic School Absences
With the school dropout rate in Bexar County and across Texas falling, city officials and leaders of the county's 15 school districts today started a new initiative...targeting students who chronically miss a day here, and a day there.
"If they get into a habit of missing one or two days a month, that turns into doubling their chances of dropping out of school," said Judy McCormick of the P16 Plus Council, which is partner in the SA 2020 effort.
"If they miss ten or more days a year for any reason, it is very dangerous from an academic standpoint."
The program, calls SA Kids Attend to Win, will include various activities designed to get kids and parents into a 'routine' that includes school, including going to be at the same time every night, setting the alarm in the morning, get out of the habit of scheduling medical appointments or other events during school hours, and get the student excited about attending school.
Three major factors behind the on again off again student include problems with transportation, health, and lack of awareness of the importance of attendance.
Chronically absent students are less likely to read at grade level, are 18 TIMES more likely to be chronically absent by the 6th grade, and are at an even higher danger of dropping out than are students who attend school, but underperform.
It is also a benefit to the schools. If all 322,00 students in the 15 public school districts in Bexar county were to attend just one more day of school, the ISD's could receive as much as $14,000,000 in additional state aid to education funding.

|The Seal Destroyed!! (#47)
|"Chibaku Tensei"
|Naruto #440
|"Rasenshuriken vs. Shinra Tensei!!"
|Pain's Assault (Arc)
|Naruto Shippūden #168
Naruto picks up on the Fourth Hokage's claim that he is his son. Naruto is overjoyed and follows his father to a part of his subconscious where the Nine-Tails is not threatening to kill them both. The Fourth explains that he had designed Naruto's seal to produce an imprint of him if ever the seal was about to break. Naruto asks why the Fourth would seal the Nine-Tails within his own son. The Fourth responds that he trusted only his son to master the Nine-Tails in order to defeat the masked man responsible for its attack on Konoha sixteen years earlier. They discuss Pain's ideas about peace and the Fourth suggests that he is a product of the war-torn era he grew up in, something the masked man is likely taking advantage of. The Fourth encourages Naruto to find his own solutions about peace and Pain. After restoring the seal, he disappears.

The reader is also encouraged to read the mailing list question.It's about 'Strategies to connect from Java' Refer Erlang Manual for more details on jinterface
This tutorial demonstrates how to communicate with an Erlang process (node) using a Java program For this example I have used java 1.5.0_07 and Erlang OTP12B distribution.
PartOneErlang Backend
First we need to have a erlang process (node)to communicate with Java program. If we are going to connect to an existing erlang node.So in this case we have to know the name of the Erlang node First we create a Erlang node. In windows you can create a erlang node by using the command prompt using below command.

Hugh Hansen Named One of the Most Influential People in Intellectual PropertyJuly 18, 2013
Fordham Law Professor Hugh Hansen has been named one of the top 50 most influential people in intellectual property by Managing IP. The list comprises leading academics, judges, policy makers, legal professionals, and celebrities including actress Angelina Jolie and football player Tim Tebow.
Hansen directs Fordham's IP Institute and is founder and director of the Fordham Annual Conference on Intellectual Property Law and Policy. The magazine describes Hansen as "the ringmaster who pulls together one of the IP world's must-attend events. The faculty for the annual conference…is testament to the strength of his contacts and the breadth of his interests."
This is the second time Hansen has been named to the magazine's list; he was first recognized in 2010 when he was characterized as an "IP Provocateur." He has taught copyright, trademark, advanced copyright, EU intellectual property, and U.S. constitutional law at Fordham Law since 1978. He is a frequent speaker on intellectual property law in the United States, Europe, and Asia and has served numerous times as a consultant or expert witness in IP cases. He is the author of one book on IP law and editor of nine others. He received his J.D. from Georgetown and an LL.M. from Yale. His blog, "One Thing after Another," will launch July 29.

Hold the phone
First things first: I actually have a smartphone that, well, isn't exactly used to its full intelligent potential. It's old — an HTC G2 hand-me-down running Android — and it does for me only what a phone is supposed to do: Ring when there's a call, stay connected while I'm talking (for the most part) and disconnect when I'm finished.
It's a fairly feature-stocked phone. I could take pictures of, say, cats or what I'm eating and post them on social media, but I don't.
You're welcome.
Something that has been lost in the tsunami of Ubuntu Edge hype over the past several weeks is that an actual working smartphone with a FOSS-based OS will soon be available for about 10 percent of what you may have already paid for Canonical's someday-to-be-produced-maybe product.
On Monday, Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols reported on ZDNet that a phone company called ZTE is making available a Firefox OS-based phone, which is supposed to be for sale on the company's eBay store in the US for $80.
[However a visit to the ZTE U.S. eBay store has the phone up to just over $162 in bidding, so I am not sure who is right here.]
Regardless of what the real price is, I understand that it's apples and oranges to compare the two. The ZTE is just a smartphone with Firefox OS, while the Ubuntu Edge concept, should it ever go into production, will be a computer that also acts like a phone.
Still, I'm not sold on the "revolutionary" aspect of Ubuntu Edge. I'm not sure how revolutionary it is to have your entire digital life on a device you can hold in your hand and, by accident, easily drop into a toilet; or as a news colleague did recently, drop her device irretrievably into a deep lake high in the Sierra Nevada.
I'm not convinced that spending $800 — OK, to be fair, marked down to $675 — on a not-yet-existing computer/phone that I stand a good chance of losing is prudent. But I would be willing to support Firefox OS and buy a ready-for-prime-time $80 smartphone — heck, even if it's really $160.
We'll have to see how this pans out.
Hey, Ubuntu Edge was mentioned again: This blog mentioned Ubuntu Edge and, of course, you know the drill by now.
Want to give some money to projects that really make a difference? Give instead to:
Reglue (especially Reglue, which is creating a new generation of FOSS users as you read this sentence)
Partimus (bringing Linux boxes to classrooms in the San Francisco Bay Area, or any other project like it)
CrunchBang (or your favorite distro, if it accepts donations)
Tux4Kids (the folks who bring you Tux Paint and other educational FOSS programs across platforms)
Or even taking a look at the list of projects at Software for the Public Interest and choose one of those.

description: February 15, 2013—Astrobiologist and National Geographic Emerging Explorer Kevin Hand explains how Asteroid DA-14 could be only the beginning of what we can expect from space. With more than a million such objects out there, what can be done to prevent a meteor strike like the one that crashed into Russia this morning?

name: Asteroid to Make Closest Flyby in History

transcript:
So this little rock, DA-14, is coming alarmingly close to the surface of our planet and we're fortunate that it's not going to hit us.  But it should serve as a bit of shot from across the bow from the solar system telling us, "Hey, you gotta look out for this stuff."
My name is Kevin Hand and I am a planetary scientist and astrobiologist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and I was a 2011 National Geographic Emerging Explorer.
To give you a sense of how close DA-14 is going to come to the Earth on February 15th, it's only 18,000 miles.  DA-14 is passing within the distance of many of our Earth-observing telecommunication satellites.  If this DA-14 were to come down and hit somewhere in a major metropolitan area hundreds of thousands, and potentially millions, of people would be killed.
For objects that are less than a hundred meters, and this is a type of object that DA-14 is, the estimates are that there are more than one million such objects.
And so what do you do if you find out that is on a trajectory that's going to lead a direct impact with Earth?  We would send some sort of probe out to this object and that probe would either knock into it, or attach to it and then fire some rockets to give this rock a little bit of nudge to change its trajectory.  Once you put the thruster on the backend it kind of got a remote control asteroid.
Really what we need is some kind of space-based assets to go and look around in all directions, basically, and to sort of serve as our space guard for these objects that are hard to find and very populous.

Gary Brown, PhD, LMFT, FAPA
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
I routinely work with families in my practice. There are any number of reasons that families seek counseling. Quite frequently, the reasons revolve around children and parenting. Sometimes there are issues between child or adult siblings. Unresolved conflicts from childhood. Arguments ensue over the family business. Caring for a special needs child, or an aging parent. At other times, family members have experienced a loss in the family or there are struggles with blending families in second marriages. These struggles also bring with them opportunities to create openings that may not have existed before. Counseling can be very useful in healing old wounds and settling disputes.

Liev Schreiber Explains How He Broke His Nose on 'Ray Donovan'
Photo: Getty Images
By Kathleen Perricone
Ray Donovan himself, Liev Schreiber, called in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest on Friday to talk about his hit Showtime series … a week after we first tried to get him on the phone.
That just gave Ryan an extra week to think about what he wanted to bring up with the actor: The fact that he watched the premiere with his mother Connie, unbeknownst to him that there was a serious love scene in the episode.
"That was probably more uncomfortable than shooting it," joked Liev about Ryan having to sit through the scene with his mother.
Filming has been dangerous in more ways than one for Liev. He broke his nose not once, but twice!
"I've got one of those noses it doesn't matter what you do to it. We were shooting in one of those fabulous architectural houses that have glass everything. It was just one of those days you're walking around with your head down, then all of a sudden — blam — there was blood everywhere. And I looked up at the glass wall and there was this wonderful, huge Rorschach imprint of my nose and grease on the glass."
Ray Donovan airs on Showtime on Sundays at 9 p.m.

Dr. Irma Van Scoy to lead USC Connect
Dr. Irma Van Scoy, former associate dean for academic and student affairs for the College of Education at USC, has been named executive director of USC Connect, a new university-wide initiative to enhance education at the University of South Carolina.
The focus of USC Connect is to help students integrate experiences within and beyond the classroom and apply what they learn to solving problems and making decisions. The program supports students, faculty, and staff in developing systems that will help all students select relevant activities and make sense of these activities in the context of their academic work.
USC Connect begins this fall and includes USC Columbia and the regional campuses.
Irma Van Scoy
"Dr. Van Scoy brings broad knowledge and experience to her role as director of USC Connect," said Dr. Helen Doerpinghaus, vice provost and dean of undergraduate studies at USC. "She knows the importance of within-the-classroom study and beyond-the-classroom exploration for today's students to excel. Only by discovering links between theory and practice, between knowledge and application, can students fully realize their potential and be well-equipped for a lifetime of learning. USC Connect is a hallmark of a Carolina education and we are delighted to have Dr. Van Scoy directing the program."
USC Connect will involve many venues at USC including the Division of Student Affairs, University 101, resident mentors, and professional staff leaders and faculty.
Prior to this appointment, Van Scoy served as associate dean for academic and student affairs of USC's College of Education for 11 years. She earned her graduate degrees from Syracuse University including a master's in child and family studies and a doctorate in teaching and curriculum. Her bachelor's degree is from SUNY Potsdam in sociology and early childhood/elementary education.

Cause once RIM is owned by apple, the BB enterprise server features will be all integrated in the iphone, and with it .. the iphone would be business no.1 choice.. iphone till now has no proper enterprise / business management tools .. more for a personal use .. maybe it is time to by some cheap shares in RIM
I always thought bb data was rly compressed and more efficient to push through networks and their own servers.
I remember a news article slating apple and android for chewing through massive amounts of bandwidth whilst BB data is less stressful on mobile carriers...
People always bang on about bb encryption too? I'm not too sure but they say on routers it comes out encrypted...
Oh and bbm imagine merging that fanbase with iMessage it'd make buying an iphone more attractive...
They'd also get all of the bb servers throughout the world...
Apple - iPhone - iPhone in Business
Businesses and Government Agencies have been converting to iPhone for a while now. The iPhone now does basically 95% of what a deadberry can do now. Frankly it's RIM's own fault, they always refused to push the bar and make better OS's and interface software. The BB Desktop is based on IntelliSync, technology that is 15-20 years old, and was never that good to begin with.
And I'm not so sure about the last one.
OT: RIM has almost nothing of value from Apple's perspective. They don't have that many patents--and those of use to Apple (since patents relating to trackballs and physical keyboards on phones and such aren't exactly a valuable tool in Apple's arsenal) can probably be purchased or licensed separately from the rest of that debt-laden, inventory-flooded, dysfunctional company. It just defies my logic as to why Apple would do this.
Gee RIM I guess having flash on your device doesn't mean jack squat to consumers?
Why in the hell would they want to buy some floundering, dead in the water company that has no inspiration in its devices? They clearly enjoy resting on their laurels at RIM. The fact that they stock piled their devices hoping for demand runs counter to how Apple manufactures.
Let RIM continue to run itself into the ground and just go away.
I can't see this happening. The only thing I see is the IP which is useless to Apple but it keeps it out of the hands of Google and Microsoft. Apple is doing just fine attracting the business market without buying RIM. Rim seems to be sinking in that category pretty quickly by themselves.
Apple may be able to make use of the BBM technology and servers, though.
I seriously doubt any of the BB technology would be of any use to apple or anyone else for that matter. It isn't like connecting a garden hose - you're talking about two fundamentally different technologies which were not built to communicate with each other.
Best case scenario is apple gets patents for physical keyboards, which they won't use, and stockpiles of playbooks.
Mind you RIM is in a similar situation to Apple back in the late 90's...but then apple invented the iPod
As i've said before....RIM doesn't innovate...because all it's Phones look the same. Don't get me wrong.....My first Smartphone was a BB Curve 8310..and it was the BEST THING..I've ever owned. I loved the BBM interface but it was an EDGE phone & when 3G came along it took RIM..a WHILE..before they could get a Model out..and it was wack that they never stepped up with their popular model which i thought was the 8310...so.i'm sorry if RIM goes the way of the Dodo bird.It's a tough world out there in the tech world. Apple,Samsung,Moto,Nokia(to the extent) are ruling and RIM is the Titanic slowly going under.
RIM is still giving you the same phone you could purchase years ago..that's the problem no innovation as we all know. Now why would apple buy them? Put them out of their misery. BB is a dog hit by a car on its last breath..waiting for the police to put it down..seriously. Apple would get the patents so google and others could not. Smart move i guess and it puts apple another step above competition. The security bez server stuff is BS. I mean how many business actually utilize one these days? Most use iOS or Android..just saying.
i have never owned blackberry but have friends that too. very popular in latin america due to them offering blackberry plans only that don't require data plans. very inexpensive. also the lower end hardware is very cheap.
my impressions is that Blackberry had a chance to create facebook before facebook. they were half way there. Their messaging client is very social oriented and people trade images and status back and forth and it's very reliable. Never any lost messages.
closest thing to BBM is Whatsapp.
I wish RIM would license their protocol so the civilized world can communicate with Blackberry users on their own turf
