A wild pitch on strike three by Eric Fornataro in the 11th opened the gates for New Orleans, who pushed across two to down the Redbirds 5-3 at home. Memphis (2-4) is currently in third place, a game behind Nashville (MIL).
Fornataro (L, 0-1) had the third out of the frame but the batter took first when catcher Rob Johnson was unable to corral the offering. Another wild pitch sandwiched around two singles broke a tie that had held since the top of the ninth when the Zephyrs pushed across a tally against Victor Marte. Marte yielded two hits, a sac bunt and a sac fly in the ninth, the first of his two innings of work.
Starter Nick Additon fanned six in five innings with the only mark against him coming in the third when he yielded two runs on two of his five hits plus one of his two base-on-balls. Maikel Cleto issued one free pass over the sixth and seventh while Jorge Rondon was perfect in the eighth.
Trailing 2-0, Memphis finally broke through with three in the eighth. Brock Peterson doubled in Chad Huffman after Huffman worked a walk. A walk to Jaime Romak and single by Johnson jammed the sacks full for Jermaine Curtis who singled in Peterson and Romak while Johnson was nailed at the plate.
Kolten Wong's three singles were almost one-third of his team's 10 hits. Oscar Taveras was intentionally walked in a pinch hitting appearance in the eighth.
Wednesday's game: vs. New Orleans (3-3), 7:05 pm CT, John Gast (1-0, 0.00)
Springfield managed just two hits as they were pasted by host San Antonio 11-2. The S-Cards (2-4) dropped the series 1-2 and are in second, a game behind Arkansas (LAA),
One of those hits was a double by Ruben Gotay that knocked in Jake Lemmerman who got aboard via a free pass to open the fourth. Gotay capitalized on the Missions' sloppy fielding, advancing to third on one error and touching home on another.
That closed the gap to 5-2, but the visitors could get no closer as San Antonio poured on six more in the eighth – first against Deryk Hooker and then Michael Blazek. Hooker coughed up five on five hits, including two doubles and a wild pitch while retiring just one. Two of those runs came across on a double on Michael Blazek's watch. Blazek permitted a single that brought in the final score of the frame.
Starter Richard Castillo (L, 0-2) went just three innings, allowing five runs, earned, on five hits and three base-on-balls. He threw two wild pitches. Dean Kiekhefer struck out three while giving up two hits in three and Kevin Thomas fanned two with one hit in the seventh.
Wednesday's game: off. Springfield's home opener is Thursday when they face first-place Corpus Christi (HOU).
Palm Beach matched St. Lucie's nine hits but not their results as they were shut out at home 4-0. The Beach Birds (3-2) sit two games behind both St. Lucie and Fort Myers, who both sport a perfect 5-0 record.
Our Player of the Day Travis Miller took the hard-luck loss in his first professional start, allowing an unearned run on just one hit in five. The right-hander walked three, struck out two, hit a batter and threw one wild pitch. Jonathan Cornelius did not retire any of the five he faced in the sixth, yielding three tallies on five hits. Jose Almarante struck out two of the three he faced that frame, stranding both runners inherited from Cornelius to stop the bleeding. Almarante picked off a runner in the seventh to erase a lead-off single. Brandon Creath struck out three in two innings.
The Cardinals were a dismal 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position and stranded eight in the shutout. James Ramsey, Colin Walsh and Stephen Piscotty had two hits apiece, batting in the top of the order, but they were unable to coordinate their attack.
Wednesday's game: vs. St. Lucie (NYM), 6:35 pm ET, Sam Gaviglio (1-0, 1.80 ERA)
Peoria was held to just three hits, falling to visiting Beloit 4-1 to even the series at one game each. The Chiefs (3-3) are tied for third, two games behind Quad Cities (HOU).
Lead-off batter Michael Swinson had two of the Chiefs' three hits, including a triple in the ninth that produced his team's only tally. Breyvic Valera ground out to the right side of the plate, bringing across Swinson. First baseman Jordan Walton had the only other hit as no Chief drew a base-on-balls.
Starter Hector Hernandez (L, 0-1) served up back-to-back long balls in the fourth that resulted in three tallies. The southpaw allowed four hits in all, walked one and struck out three in six. Both of the hits and one of the two walks permitted by Joey Donofrio came in the eighth, his second inning on the mound, and produced another tally. Dixon Llorens retired the side in order in the ninth.
Wednesday's game: vs. Beloit (OAK) (2-4), 6:30 pm CT, Kurt Heyer (0-0, 6.00 ERA)

Buying a Sony PSP
Without any doubt, the Sony PSP is one of the most successful portable entertainment consoles ever built. Its powerful engine and amazing features have made it very popular among users. We decided to create a buying guide for those who feel they could enhance their portable gaming with a brand new Sony PSP. This guide will cover specific details about hardware revisions, firmware and of course memory sticks. Let's begin.
- Why this guide is needed?
Most of you are probably asking yourselves what, another PSP buying guide? Not exactly... This guide aims at offering you specific details about important features that advanced users look for. The recently released PSP hardware cannot be downgraded to the "magic" 1.50 firmware and many users are very frustrated about this. How you can identify if a console has a "good" or "bad" firmware revision? In our quest to find which Sony PSP will better suit our needs, we came upon an interesting discovery. Every retail package indicates which firmware revision is being used. That is very important. Why? Because all PSP's with 2.80+ firmware cannot be downgraded to 1.50 (at least at the time this article was written).
Is that bad? It depends. If you don't care about homebrew applications and underground development projects, then no. But if you want to use the full potential of the PSP platform, a PSP with a lower than 2.80 firmware revision is required. So how can you check this important aspect quickly? Fortunately, there is a particular bit of information you should look for on the retail package:
The red arrow in the photo above shows a letter under the voltage rating. This letter indicates the firmware for the PSP unit. You should keep in mind the following list and buy accordingly:
This information of course is not ours. It's taken from QJ.NET forums, kudos the QJ.NET users who assembled the above list. We suggest you visit QJ.NET forums and read more about this subject.
To be able to downgrade your PSP, you should buy one with at most a K revision (2.71). If you buy the L version, then you are out of luck. Recently released PSPs have a different hardware revision too. The so called "cursed TA-082" board revision is no longer an issue, provided that you have 2.71 firmware! There is some information that other colors than black (for example Pink) use a much newer board revision, "TA-086", so we suggest you avoid buying them. The white version doesn't seem to include the new TA-086, but be sure to check which firmware is being used.
Of course, the above applies when buying from a store. In which case, you can inspect the retail package and identify which firmware is installed. When buying online however, this is not possible. So what can you do? We don't have a lot to suggest, other than ask the supplier to identify the firmware for you, but you can never be sure that they will provide the correct information or may not know what unit will eventually be shipped, since marketing and sales departments are two totally different "stories".
Like many users, we first looked at ebay for a brand new PSP. I was very impressed with all the offers I saw, until I started investigating them carefully. After having monitored many online auctions and contacted sellers about shipping costs, the overall cost wasn't very different to buying from a retail shop.
You must be very careful with Pink, Blue and White PSPs being sold, at least, from ebay.co.uk. Most of them are imports from Japan. Ebay sellers claim that they are better, with sharper screen, which maybe so but we cannot confirm this.
My next question was, is this item covered by a warranty? The answer I got was "...there is a warranty card in japanese...". So if you live in the European Union, as I do, how can you have a warranty from Sony Europe? I don't imagine that Sony has a worldwide warranty for PSPs but then I could be wrong. Probably in the US, ebay is a better solution, but then again, be careful about firmware revisions. There is also the issue of stuck/broken pixels. In the event the screen is not working properly or as it is supposed too, you have to return the item back to seller. That means additional shipping costs. With a retail store, you can complain and get it exchanged with a new unit, no need to wait.
Many users sell used PSPs with 1.50 firmware at inflated prices, since with the new PSPs there's the risk that they aren't downgradable. Of course they claim "...we ship up to 80 games with it.." that afterwards proved to be ISO pirated games on DVD media. More profit for the seller, more loss for the user. So if you do want to buy a used PSP and save money, visit a local store that sells used PSP consoles. Go there and investigate the console, see what its condition is like, check the firmware revision and make a smart buy.
- Memory cards
There are several packages of PSP, the base pack, the giga pack and the value pack, with different bulked games and accessories. We would suggest buying the base pack and grab an at least a 2GB Memory Stick Duo Pro card. Here, you'll need to be very careful if you go through ebay. There are many dangers lurking. After having looked at many auctions and contacted sellers, we understood that most of the currently sold Memory Stick Pro Duo on ebay are "fake". A big price difference should tip you off there. There is a very detailed guide on how to identify a "fake" MS Duo Pro, but that's after you've bought it. It's very possible that even retail shops sell fake MS Duo pro, it's simply very hard to identify them.
"...So what's all the fuss about "fake" MS Duo Pro. I bought one from ebay and it works perfectly. I saved myself 50% off the retail price..". That's true, you may save money, however, there are hundreds of reports of "fake" MS Duo Pro media breaking down after 3~6months of use. Of course, no warranty can be given by Sony/Sandisk, only from the seller (who will probably send you another fake one). You can read more users' opinions at the Afterdown.com related forum thread.
As many other users have suggested, Sandisk products are slightly cheaper and faster than Sony's. We confirmed this claim. If you look carefully at ebay.co.uk, not many Sandisk products are on sale, especially the Sandisk II (Fast version) MS Duo Pro.
To our question if this product has a warranty, a seller answered "...Yes this is an original product with 2 years warranty...". Hey wait a minute, Sandisk offers 5years warranty and that seller offers only 2?
Something is wrong here. Of course, we never got a reply to our query. So before you consider buying a Sandisk MS Duo Pro, ask many questions. Ask if there is a warranty card so that you can register the product with Sandisk. Yes, that's right, you can register even memory products at the Sandisk website.
Overall, we suggest you avoid buying MS Duo Pro from ebay, unless you are 100% sure it is genuine. Users who wish to use homebrews should buy at least a 2 or 4GB MS Duo pro memory card. We suggest the Sandisk Extreme II/III series that provides very fast reading/writing speeds. The retail price for the Sandisk Extreme II 4GB MS Duo Pro can be up to ~ €150, which increases the overall cost. Prices are expected to drop after the 8GB MS Duo Pro hits the market.
Sony's PSP is a wonderful portable console platform. Users must be very careful when they buy consoles and especially media from online stores. We have briefly covered several methods and techniques on how to protect yourself from people who sell fake memory cards and consoles. Of course, no system is perfect and there should be other ways users can protect themselves. If you have such stories, please email them to us at email@example.com, as well as any suggestions and overall comments.

CBO was kind enough to score the revenue impact of the proposed and much debated Buffett Tax, now appearing in non-populist literature as "Surtax on Millionaires." According to the Budget Office, said tax which is the source of substantial consternation among the population, would generate, over the next decade, a grand total of... drum roll... $453 billion.

A source of an amazing amount of misery for our website customers comes from MySQL CHARSET encoding. Many times, a customer will export their database from their previous deployment, install it on their new server, and discover strange characters embedded in their database.
We've actually written a couple of utilities to repair these problems in the past, including on in Ruby. However, they are very specific to the individual account you're working on. Additionally, it's not unusual for a customer to have a partially broken installation due to attempts to fix it. We had a customer some months ago who gave us a veeery long weekend after dumping the site, then shutting down the old account, and then requesting we do the import for them.
Unfortunately, the encoding on the dump was wrong, and after importing it, we have a plethora of issues. In addition, the database had a mix of unicode (utf-8) and latin1 encoding due to several previous attempts to fix the problem, or perhaps upgrades (nobody was sure), so we ended up having to sift through literally gigs of mysql .sql dumps by hand to fix the problem.
Not fun.
It turns out that:
That last one is sooo not fun.
If you're in this situation, you should seriously read this post from yk, which basically lays out the basics on converting table encoding. I'll rate that post a 4 out of 10. Useful, but it pales in comparison to Derek Siver's post on oreillynet, which actually lays out a better explanation than the notes I kept on our process. It's one of the best posts I've come across on fixing the problem, so I'm actually going to link to it rather than spend two hours writing up our notes, which are substantially the same. Thanks for the Monday evening back Derek. I think I'll go watch my MythTV box.
I cannot reiterate enough the importance of starting your MySQL database projects exclusively with UTF-8 encoding - it will save you from more headaches down the road.

* Canadian dollar at C$1.1851 or 84.38 U.S. cents * Bond prices mixed across the maturity curve By Solarina Ho TORONTO, Jan 7 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar weakened further against the greenback on Wednesday as a bigger than forecast Canadian trade deficit for November compounded the negative tone that has pervaded the market during the oil-price rout. Canada's trade deficit was C$644 million, sharply higher than the C$300 million that market operators had expected, with exports showing their biggest monthly drop in more than two years, down 3.5 percent. "I think the trade data in general has been receiving a little bit more attention over the past several months just given that it's become such a critical part of the narrative for the Bank of Canada," said Mazen Issa, senior Canada macro strategist at TD Securities. The Bank of Canada, which has repeatedly expressed concern about the struggling export sector, is widely expected to keep interest rates on hold until after the U.S. Federal Reserve makes a move on rates. Canada's economic recovery has been lagging that of the United States. The Canadian dollar was trading at C$1.1851 to the greenback, or 84.38 U.S. cents, weaker than Tuesday's finish of C$1.1828, or 84.55 U.S. cents. The currency has been hitting its weakest levels in more than 5-1/2 years. "There's just a lot of forces going on in the market place right now and it generally has a negative tone to it...a higher USD/CAD is probably the path of least resistance from this point on," Issa said. Battered oil prices were steady on Wednesday after losing some 10 percent just this week, but U.S. crude remained around $48.50 a barrel after having fallen below $47 earlier. Canada is a major exporter of the commodity and the Canadian dollar's retreat has largely shadowed that of oil prices. Canadian government bond prices were mixed across the maturity curve, with longer-term securities falling. The two-year bond was down 3 Canadian cents to yield 0.97 percent and the benchmark 10-year bond was off 25 Canadian cents to yield 1.665 percent.

Liberty Completes Sweep with 12-4 Win
With its season-high sixth consecutive win, Liberty moves to 28-23 on the season. Longwood drops to 22-25. Earlier in the day, Liberty had won game one, 5-3.
Liberty batted around in the first inning to race out to a 5-0 advantage. Tommy Bussey (Jr., 2B, Boynton Beach, Fla.) walked to lead off the contest and advanced to third on a double to the right-centerfield gap by Errol Hollinger (Jr., C, Upland, Calif.). P.K. Keller (Sr., RF, Clearwater, Fla.) then plated both runners with a double into the right-center field gap. After a groundout moved Keller to third, Cody Brown (Jr., 3B, Boca Raton, Fla.) chased the runner home with a single to right field.
The frame continued as Garret Young (Sr., DH, Fountain Valley, Calif.) singled and Aaron Grijalva (Sr., LF, Redlands, Calif.) walked to load the bases. Joseph Feeley (Fr., CF, Chesapeake City, Md.) followed with a RBI single to bring home the fourth run of the inning. Aaron Phillips (Sr., SS, Claremore, Okla.) then grounded into a fielder's choice, plating another tally for a 5-0 edge.
The Flames added to their lead in the third frame with an unearned run. Grijalva was hit by a pitch to open the inning and moved to second base on an infield single by Feeley. On the single, Grijalva advanced to third when shortstop Scott Kimble overthrew the first baseman in an attempt to get the hitter, Feeley. Grijlava then scored by beating a throw to home on a grounder to the pitcher by Phillips, pushing the advantage to 6-0.
Liberty plated single runs in both the fourth and fifth innings to stretch its lead to 8-0. In the fourth, Keller singled and later scored on a double by Young. In the fifth, Hollinger brought home a run with his second double of the game.
Longwood broke through for a run in the sixth off Stokes. Center fielder Rob Bailey reached on an infield single and scored on a two-out double by second baseman Phil Cerreto.
Liberty upped its lead to 10-1 in the eighth inning. Pinch hitter Jeff Jefferson (Fr., Danville, Va.) walked to begin the inning and scored ahead of a home run by Giammaresi, his sixth of the year.
The Lancers scored three runs in the bottom of the frame, two of which were unearned.
In the ninth, the Flames scored runs on a wild pitch and a single by Nate Thompson (So., C, Stoneville, N.C.) for the final margin of 12-4.
Liberty starter Stokes (Sr., RHP, Locust Grove, Okla.) allowed one run over seven innings of work to run his record to 7-4 on the season. The senior struck out six and did not walk a batter. Longwood starter Rob Moody falls to 1-3 on the year. He gave up five runs on five hits in one inning of work.
Hollinger paced the Flames and led all hitters with his trio of hits in the game. Keller, Giammaresi and Feeley each added two hits for Liberty. Cerreto and right fielder Nick von Gersdorff had two hits apiece for Longwood.
Liberty hosts Longwood tomorrow afternoon in a single game at Worthington Stadium. First pitch Sunday is set for 1 p.m.

BTW, I bought a Pixel Qi screen for my laptop the day it came out and installed it into a Samsung Netbook to achieve the same end. I've used it for a year or two. The Pixel Qi screen DIY kit only works on older netbooks and it does not compare with the contrast of eInk for reading (no light is refreshing and better, but I find my eyes strained for another reason because of lack of contrast). But the real reason I'm searching for another solution is that my netbook machine is getting slow and is a pain to carry around and open and wait for Windows 7 to wake and allow me to input a note or reference a document.
So, I continue my search to find a powerful mobile system behind an eInk display.

Japan's Sanyo Electric Co. on Wednesday unveiled a large-screen, high-definition projector with the world's shortest projection distance.
The LP-XL50 can project an image to fit an 80-inch screen from a distance of only eight centimeters (3.2 inches) from a range of positions and surfaces due to its new optical engine technology, Sanyo said in a statement.
The device can be hung on a wall and project the image immediately underneath, preventing shadows from disrupting the image, it said.
Sanyo hopes the projector will be used in schools, classrooms or department stores to beam images onto walls or floors.
The machine is expected to hit stores in Japan in December and soon after overseas.

A few years back, I found myself surprised to discover that all of the problems of equity in the U.S. had been fixed, right under my nose.

Sabres lose two in a row, Falcons & Dynamos win
Felix Austin | cricket20
The Somerset Sabres lost their second straight Friends Life t20 match after they crashed to a 54 run defeat against the Worcestershire Royals at the County Ground in Taunton.
Faced with a victory target of 174, the Sabres collapsed to a total of just 119 al lout with five balls to spare thanks to some impressive bowling from Daryl Mitchell (3-13) and Brett D'Oliveira (3-20).
Richard Levi (28) offered the most resistants but with wicket falling at regular intervals the Sabres suffered a second straight defeat as the Royals closed the gap at the top of the Midlands group to just one point.
It proved to be the perfect day for the Royals who set an imposing total of 173-7 thanks in part to a quick fire 47 from opening Moeen Ali.
In the days other games the Durham Dynamos beat the Leicestershire Foxes by nine wickets while the Lancashire Lighting suffered a three wicket defeat against the Derbyshire Falcons.

Regularly scheduled tunnel cleaning will require closing eastbound Interstate 10 overnight Friday and westbound I-10 Saturday night near downtown Phoenix. Crews installing new, easier-to-read overhead signs will take advantage of the nighttime closures to complete their work in the same location. Southbound State Route 143 also will be closed this weekend while workers paint one of the newly built ramp structures. The Arizona Department of Transportation recommends drivers plan extra travel time and consider alternate routes while these restrictions are in place:
Eastbound I-10 closed between I-17 and Seventh Street near downtown Phoenix from 9 p.m. Friday to 7 a.m. Saturday (Feb. 4) for tunnel cleaning and overhead sign installation. DETOUR: All traffic will detour onto north or southbound I-17. Drivers on eastbound I-10 can use southbound I-17 to reconnect with I-10 at 24th Street near Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
Westbound I-10 closed between Seventh Street and Seventh Avenue near downtown Phoenix from 9 p.m. Saturday to 7 a.m. Sunday (Feb. 5) for tunnel cleaning and overhead sign installation. Multiple on-ramps to westbound I-10 closed near work zone, including southbound SR 51; westbound Loop 202; 16th Street; Seventh Street; and HOV on-ramp at Fifth Avenue. Westbound I-10 19th Avenue off-ramp also closed. DETOUR: Exit at Seventh Street and use McDowell Road to Seventh Avenue. Drivers on westbound I-10 can also use I-17 to the Stack interchange to bypass tunnel closure.
Southbound SR 143 closed between McDowell Road and University Drive from 10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday (Feb. 6) for structure painting and sign work. Connecting ramps to southbound SR 143 from westbound Sky Harbor Boulevard and eastbound Loop 202 also closed. DETOUR: Use 44th Street to University Drive.
Northbound SR 85 ramp to eastbound I-10 closed from 9 p.m. Sunday to 3 a.m. Monday (Feb. 6) for guard rail repair. DETOUR: Consider using Broadway Road to Miller Road.

Final Six: The Six Best/Worst Things to Come out of Nu-Metal
Chris "Down with the Fatness" Krovatin is the author of the young-adult novels Heavy Metal & You and Venomous, as well as Revolvermag.com's "Final Six" blog. The latter book was the inspiration for Deadlocke, a one-shot published by Dark Horse Comics.
I was there. It was awful! Awful, I tell you. Lord knows how we even survived it. The worst parts of metal and the worst parts of hip-hop, meshed together to form a lumbering force of adolescent rage that threatened to tear us apart. Everyone cutting their hair, or worse, spiking it up and dyeing it blue. Album covers more heavily inspired by manga comics and Elemental Skateboards ads than by Satan or Vietnam. And "Nookie," Jesus. It was our generation's great shame, the way that Bon Jovi and Winger must have been to those before us. I know. I was there.
That said: nu-metal produced some interesting results during its short reign over the extreme-music world. Yes, it's easy to simply dismiss the genre entirely, but to do so would be forsaking the few precious things that the movement spawned, cultural gems we must cling so as not to admit that we completely wasted the late '90s and early 2000s getting tribal tattoos. So here, ladies and gentlemen, are my Six Best and Worst Things to Come Out of Nu-Metal.*
The Six Best Things to Come Out of Nu-Metal:
1) Higher levels of human tolerance For all it's jock-rock machismo, nu-metal songs were mainly about feeling different and achieving an open mind. It began condemning the racism, sexism, and homophobia that oft plagued its extreme predecessors. No one likes a bigot.
2) The seven-string guitar Many purists may hate it, but the seven-string guitar, popularized by Steve Vai for his wheedling solos, creates a cool rumbling atmosphere that can add a certain level of guttural doom to any song. Just so happens it was popularized by this era.
3) Making fashion freakish again After a decade's worth of flannel had come and gone, it was nice to see hard music adopting a tradition of dressing like a complete sideshow again. A few piercings and bondage straps never hurt anyone. Except the piercings, actually, those usually hurt.
4) Digitalization Nu-metal was coming up at the same time as the Internet, and much of its culture and fashion was straight out of Hackers. Any metal band today who does most, if not all, of their business online owes nu-metal a nod.
5) Slipknot Des Moines' nine-headed metal monster is such a product of the nu-metal age, but they've remained relevant to this day, and they brought back the death and terror to extreme music. A truly intrepid group of psychotic drug-addled cultural pariahs.
6) Metal pride restored After grunge, no one wanted to be metal anymore—it was "hard rock" and nothing else. Nu-metal revived the pride in listening to riffy, incomprehensible noise, and taking pride in being crazy. The Gin Blossoms can suck my fat cock. Get down with the sickness.
The Six Worst Things to Come Out of Nu-Metal:
1) Limp Bizkit Sad thing is, Limp Bizkit embodied all five things on the 'Best' list, and then Jesus, they took it in the wrong direction, becoming a beacon of misogyny, obnoxiousness, and poor musicianship. Truly the worst thing to come out of the worst trend in metal.
2) The death of the guitar solo In its efforts to tune down and simplify riffs, nu-metal effectively drove a stake through the heart of the guitar solo (a single lead on a wah pedal does not a solo make, guys). Yes, punk was only three chords, but at least that was played fast.
3) Ecstasy chic Nu-metal tapped into the fear of the modern parent, but much of that fear was of AIDS and meth, which resulted in a weird obsession with rave and club culture that made everyone just look like the hippie assholes they should've been hating.
4) The big fucking pants In an attempt to take their hip-hop influence even further and more extreme, nu-metallers took the baggy jeans of the time and made them fucking massive, resulting in a generation of rockers who couldn't see their shoes. What were we thinking?
5) Rock-star bullshit Another trait nu-metal tried to adopt from hip-hop was a sense of swagger, but instead they became parodies of the hair bands of the '80s, marrying chopped-up porn stars and flipping off their fans. Repulsive.
6) The music When's the last time you actually listened to an Adema song? Oh man, they have not aged well…
DISCLAIMER: I'm not some snarky hoity-toity asshole. I was into nu-metal when it came out. I had a Korn poster on my wall at age 13. I still kind of love Powerman 5000. So remember, part of my condemnation is shame, and I know I'm not God. Back to trashing Limp Bizkit…

As much as I love Crunchy, I'm gonna be pissed if I have to pirate this just to get a copy I can watch without a web connection o_0
Surely the amount of viewings and comments it's had here should have convinced someone to license a retail copy by now? This is one of the best series released in recent years with easily some of the most original characters!
I do not know but the first time I hear "anime will be licensed in Mexico and Latin America" I was happy, even the first time I came to crunchiroll and saw many anime series, I started to see some of them but a lot has been disappeared and there are only new releases , now I can see them only on my computer, there are a lot of problems whit it i think I'm going lo close my acount.

text: Hey all, anyone have any background with decision trees, especially (what I think are known as) ensemble methods such as random forests? Straight out of the Stanford class I found an interesting problem to work on, but for a variety of reasons I think it might work better with decision trees than with neural networks. Unfortunately, that's not an area we covered in the class. I programmed a very simple, non-ensemble implementation by hand, and while it's ridiculously slow, it does seem to solve the problem. So I downloaded the "milk" python library, which uses NumPy, and tried running its (obviously much faster) random forest model. And...well...it seems to be getting the right answers, but I'm getting to the point where I'd like to compare notes with someone before I get too far out on a limb. Get it? Out on a limb? Trees?

I took their little test after being bugged by HR....the test was set up against anyone with REAL WORLD experience, or anyone over 20ish.
The questions were simple enough...But the computer I was set up to use had some bugs so some functions did not work properly. One question was Are stereotypes true? (We all know they are 99% of the time!!!) But they had a little disclaimer "don't answer the questions how you think they should be answered because it might count against you..."

I refuse to apologize for being right in my judgements in regard to sterotypes, the fact of that matter was that it was about customer service, not about raising cattle or wheat. The point was to give informative info to help other applicants with t-mobile. They don't need to take my word t-mobile descriminates based on age and that their testing methods are set up against adult with real world experience.

Boomers Discover Age Bias

Of all workers filing age-bias charges in 2002, 64 percent were from 40 to 59 years old. The nation's baby boomers—76 million strong—were born between 1946 and 1964 and came of age during the fight for civil rights.

Now, with new troubles to confront, they are taking their complaints to the EEOC, which administers the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) that since 1967 has barred discrimination against workers age 40 and older.
Boomers have reason to be unhappy, as do many other older workers. With the economy still sluggish, layoffs are continuing at a high level. Total job cuts, which hovered above 400,000 annually in the mid-1990s, skyrocketed to nearly 2 million in 2001 and dropped to about 1.5 million in 2002, reports the outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc.
Noting a connection between the economy and age bias claims, Dominguez says, "The [claims] go up when opportunities go down."

Age Discrimination seems to be taking place, here !! Best I got after the last interview, was thank you for your service, as a Vietnam Vet. We'll call you next week. A call I never got, to tell me whether I got the job, or not. Applied for same job at a different location and quickly received an email, that unfortunately, I was not a match for this job. This process has taken place several times and the pattern is apparent. Possibly they are discriminating against Vietnam Vets. I will follow through, this time.

EMU joins elite company with first graduates in bioinformatics
YPSILANTI - Eastern Michigan University became one of only two schools in the state to award a master's degree to students in the field of bioinformatics at its commencement ceremony Sunday, Dec. 18.
"We are very proud of these five students. They are the first to receive this type of degree from EMU," said Ben Keller, coordinator of EMU's program.
Keller said there are only two other schools in the state that offer a master's degree in bioinformatics, Grand Valley State University and University of Michigan. Only the University of Michigan has had graduates.
Bioinformatics is the use of computers in biology to help manage data, Keller said. EMU started it's program in 2004 with the help of a $50,000 grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
The thing that sets EMU's program apart from others, said Keller, is that EMU's program combines the science with business skills.
The five students receiving degrees are: Henry Kwan, Pratima Naik, Nupur Pande, Usha Reddi and Zuoshuang Xiang.
Pande, of New Deli, India, found EMU's program after earning a bachelor's degree in computer science and a bachelor's degree in biology, both from the University of Texas.
"I looked around and EMU was one of the few to offer the program," said Pande, who recently landed a job with Asterand as a biotechnology analyst.
"My undergraduate and graduate degrees really laid the foundation for my getting the job," she said. Pande said the specialization of EMU's program really helped her because it trained her specifically for bioinformatics and business.
Eastern Michigan University is a public, comprehensive university that offers programs in the arts, sciences and professions. EMU prepares students with the intellectual skills and practical experiences to succeed in their careers and lives, and to be better citizens.

If you judge a book by its cover you'll hate Panasonic's PT-AE2000E, which isn't so much plain as plain ugly, its square-edged sobriety a stark visual contrast to the curvaceous lines preferred by rivals such as InFocus and ThemeScene.
It's also an LCD projector, which once could have placed it at a theoretical disadvantage next to DLP (Digital Light Processing) rivals. LCD kit has often, in the past, suffered from an inability to display black with the same fidelity as DLP hardware, which has, in turn, crippled contrast performance.
But not any more. True, the PT-AE2000E's claimed contrast ratio (a whopping 16,000:1) is more than a tad fanciful, but it can still generate a beautifully rich, lustrous picture with exceptional depth and realism.
Brilliant to set up and install
Before we delve too far into picture considerations, let's talk set-up. Here, the Panasonic excels: it might be dull to look at but the sizeable chassis affords plenty of space for solid, stable and easily adjustable supporting feet, coupled to simple thumbwheel controls for vertical and horizontal lens shift.
Together with the backlit remote handset and clear on-screen menus, you're unlikely to find an easier projector to install at this price. It's even quiet, making it an ideal coffee-table-friendly 'occasional use' buy. The PT-AE2000E's complement of three HDMI inputs, all of which offer bang-up-to-date 1.3a support, means it's covered for almost any system expansion too.
Sharp edges, smooth motion
Thanks to its high resolution – this is a 1920x1080 'Full HD' design – and its sophisticated picture processing, the Panasonic is tailor-made for big-screen viewing. It looks superb showing Blu-ray discs, which is no surprise given Panny's fondness for the format, and of course it'll readily cope with 24fps signals.
Motion across the screen is always natural and stable, with nary a hint of judder or unsightly motion smearing. Handling of standard-definition TV and DVDs is almost as impressive, thanks to that depth and richness to the image coupled to its sharply drawn edges and lavishly textured colours.
In short, the PT-AE2000E is cheaper and better than its forebear, the PT-AE1000E, as well as being similarly easy to install and live with. If you're prepared to go to four figures for a projector, make it this one.

Test passes if the order and rotation of Arabic characters is the same, and the letters are joined in the same way.
Assertion: [Exploratory test] Setting writing-mode to vertical-rl will cause Arabic text embedded in vertical Chinese to flow up the page, with letters rotated to the right, and wrap to the left, such that the Arabic lines are read right to left, and the letters join correctly.
This is an exploratory test because the CSS3 Text module that defines writing-mode is not yet a Recommendation.

LUCIA PIERONI, THE woman behind the alluring red mouth of Amanda Seyfried in Clé de Peau Beauté's latest campaign and the creator of the looks of Hollywood stars such as Rihanna and Jennifer Aniston, decided to
go back to her English roots – quite literally – when faced with the task of creating a new colour collection for the cosmetic brand. As a passionate gardener, also trained as an artist, she's always had an affinity for roses and was inspired by their velvety texture, rich hues and strong fragrance to design a range of lipsticks in ravishing shades that range from deep sensual reds to softer pinks. Here, she talks about the creation of the sumptuous palette and shares some invaluable tips on how to achieve a beautifully made-up mouth.
Why roses?
It's my favourite flower; there are infinite colours and possibilities of a rose, and it's incredibly feminine, very sensual. They smell amazing; they have so many colours and just this whole life of it from the little bug to the grown rose. I have a lot of them in my garden as well and love smelling them.
How did you come up with the 30 shades for the lipstick collection?
It was quite hard to condense it down to 30 colours because I made an awful lot of them. There was a lot of red because I do like red, possibly too much. I love a really dark red, almost a black. But I have to combine my creativity with my experience from being a make-up artist without going completely crazy with colours. I think roses are so incredible, you just look at them and you go, "Wow, that would be an amazing colour, and that one, and that one," and then you'd have so many and you'd have to kind of stop.
You seem to be a fan of red lips. Why do you think they're always on trend?
This year it's definitely about red, either the bright red or very dark red. There's a lot of really dark red, a goth trend going on right now. I think it's a lot harder to wear very dark red as it has a tendency to make your mouth look smaller – the darker the colour the smaller it appears, so you have to kind of overdraw so you don't look like you've got a really small mouth.
What kind of make-up do you pair with strong hues of lipsticks?
For this particular collection, I wanted to keep the eye shadow quite light because we wanted to make a statement about red lipstick and I think it's better just not to have too much make-up. So you wear very gold, bronzy colours that work really well the good life | lips | with red. It's a very simple kind of boyish face, not too much make-up but with a really beautifully sculpted brow. And then a little bit of a smoky eye but not too heavy, which is also a trend this season.
Do you have any favourite pieces from this collection?
I tend to wear the red, especially this bright red, which is number 303. I love this one; it's like a day colour, just like a rose lip, a little bit of a stain. I also like 202, which is the nude brown; I wore this one last night. It's great
if you're doing a really dark eye or black eyeliner, so there's not too much going on in your face.
Is there a difference in the way Asian and Western women approach make-up?
The biggest difference is that you wear your eyeshadow and your lip colour much lighter. Western women tend to go for darker, for sure, but to be honest with you, you're sort of slightly meeting in the middle nowadays. Of the lipsticks I create for Clé de Peau, the three top sellers are the same everywhere. I don't personally like to look at it as like East and West, I look at it as who you are and what I think you should wear or what I think would suit an individual person.

Greens And Labour Not Interested in Solving Housing Problem
Greens And Labour Not Interested in Solving Cause Of Housing Problem
Press Release by ACT Leader John Banks
Monday, February 25 2013
Today's comments by Labour leader David Shearer and Green MP Holly Walker prove that neither Labour nor the Greens have any interest in addressing the real cause of housing unaffordability - the lack of land supply, ACT Leader John Banks said today.
"David Shearer bizarrely asserts that increasing the freedom to build would increase red tape. How does this make sense and since when did Labour oppose increasing red tape? Labour put around 30,000 pages of new legislation on the books between 2000 and 2009 – by far the largest number in any decade in the history of New Zealand," Mr Banks said.
"Labour could demonstrate its road-to-Damascus conversion to opposing red tape is genuine by publicly supporting the Regulatory Standards Bill that was recommended by the high-powered Regulatory Responsibility Taskforce. The Bill would oblige new and existing regulations to be tested against sound principles more rigorously than in any time in New Zealand's history.
"As for the Greens, their assertion that freeing up the supply of land would make housing less affordable is, if anything, even more incoherent than Labour's statement. At least they deserve credit for consistency in that respect.
"The Greens are staunchly opposed to the reasonable desire of most New Zealanders to own a house with a bit of green land around it for the kids to play on, the whole family to enjoy a summer BBQ, and off-street parking. They want to force New Zealanders to intensify but New Zealanders don't want the chicken coop high rise living that the Greens want to force on them and their families.
"ACT's Freedom To Build policy will address the key cause of housing unaffordability – land supply. It will give families the choice to live in an affordable home with a bit of green land, or in an apartment if that's what suits them best," Mr Banks said.
