The Vermont Journalism Trust and VTDigger.org are sponsoring internationally known e-journalist, author and speaker Dan Gillmor at a public presentation at 7:30 p.m. Monday, April 8, at the Alumni Auditorium of Champlain College.
Dan Gillmor is an international expert on citizen journalism and new media. He writes a column about new media and technology for The Guardian, and he is the author of two books about the way in which the Web has transformed the power dynamic between the public and the media. The goal of his latest book and ongoing project, Mediactive, reflects his "strong belief that we need to turn media 'consumers' into active (even activist) users instead of passive receptacles."
Gillmor teaches digital media entrepreneurship and is a founding director of the Knight Center for Digital Media Entrepreneurship program at Arizona State University's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
The Center, originally funded by the Knight Foundation and the Kauffman Foundation, is working to help create a culture of innovation and risk-taking in journalism education and in the wider media world. Prior to his career as a professor at Arizona State, Gillmor covered Silicon Valley at the San Jose Mercury News for 11 years. While at the Mercury News, he started a blog — one of the first by a journalist for a traditional media company. Before covering the high-tech world, Gillmor worked at the Detroit Free Press, Kansas City Times and the Vermont Press Bureau and Times Argus in Montpelier where he covered Vermont politics in the 1980s.
Bill Schubart, chair of the Vermont Journalism Trust, invites Vermonters who have an interest in democracy, transparency and open government to attend the event.
"The health of our democracy depends on a vigorous press scrutinizing the activities of our three branches of government, along with businesses and nonprofits," Schubart said. "It is more important than ever that a well-funded, unbiased and hardworking press corps delve deeply into important policy matters that give citizens and stakeholders the information they need to effectively participate in our democracy. Join us for a riveting event with Dan Gillmor and help raise funds for VTDigger."
Contributions accepted at the door to support VTDigger's Sally West Johnson Fund for Journalism for investigative reporting. VTDigger, a project of the Vermont Journalism Trust, is the state's premier online news organization dedicated to coverage of Vermont politics, consumer affairs, business and public policy.

LSU goes back to practice without All-American 'Honey Badger'
BATON ROUGE – For the first time in three years, LSU scrimmaged without cornerback Tyrann "Honey Badger" Mathieu on Saturday.
"It was weird not having him out there," defensive end Barkevious Mingo said. "He's a great player, and we'll miss him. But we're kind of getting used to this kind of thing happening during the preseason. The good thing is we know how to adapt."
On Aug. 19, 2011, a bar fight near the LSU campus resulted in the arrest and four-game suspension of two-year starting quarterback Jordan Jefferson, but the Tigers rebounded from that and seven suspensions in all through the course of the season to finish 13-0 and win the Southeastern Conference before losing the BCS national title game to Alabama.
On Friday, LSU coach Les Miles announced that Mathieu, a Heisman Trophy finalist last season and winner of the Bednarik Award as the nation's top defensive player, had been kicked off the team permanently for repeated behavioral issues in a decision made by the university and Miles.
A person familiar with the situation confirmed to USA TODAY Sports that Mathieu was dismissed for multiple positive drug tests that revealed marijuana over the last year. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the test results were supposed to remain confidential.
Mathieu, suspended for the Auburn game last Oct. 22 for a positive drug test that revealed marijuana, had been receiving counseling in recent months, LSU athletics director Joe Alleva said. Counseling is an element of LSU's substance abuse policy after the first, second and third violations.
Under the heading "Third Violations," LSU's substance abuse policy states, "If institutional drug testing reveals the existence of drugs at any time, permanent ineligibility to participate at LSU will result."
Playing cornerback in Mathieu's place Saturday were redshirt freshman Jalen Collins and true freshman Jalen Mills. Wide receiver Odell Beckham returned punts, something Mathieu did in spectacular fashion last season as he finished second in the SEC with a 15.6-yard average and brought back two for touchdowns. Mathieu also led the nation in fumbles recovered with five and led the SEC in fumbles forced with six. He returned two fumbles for touchdowns.
Mathieu, a junior from St. Augustine High in New Orleans, talked and tweeted constantly. LSU's football meeting room just became a lot quieter.
"I certainly recognize that there were some emotional feelings in this building," Miles said. "We're going to miss Ty, but I think we're going to be fine. I think our guys understand that if there was an injury, we'd have to go beyond it. In this room, there's a responsibility to the team, and I think our guys understand that."
Mathieu visited McNeese State of the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) two hours west in Lake Charles, La., on Friday and is considering a transfer there.
"We contacted LSU to get permission to talk to him, and he arrived on campus later that night," McNeese State coach Matt Viator said Saturday in a school release. "We visited for an hour and a half, and then he went back home to New Orleans."
Miles said he was keeping in touch with Mathieu and his transfer.
"I'm passively involved," he said. "In other words, I know what's going on, but I'm not directing it in any way by the nature of the fact that he's no longer on our team. I want what's best for Tyrann."
Miles said he and his team were used to dealing with such crises before and during seasons.
"I always expect there'll be some crisis along the way," Miles said Aug. 1 when practice opened and Mathieu was still in good standing, though being monitored more closely than most players. "No matter how smooth the weather may be today, you just never can tell."
LSU lost five starters last season for a total of 10 games for various reasons. Jefferson missed four. Mathieu and tailback Spencer Ware missed one each for a positive drug test. Linebacker Ryan Baker missed one for disciplinary reasons outside of the school's drug abuse policy.
"One of the things we do here at LSU is we have always young guys who can step in and fill roles when they need to," offensive guard Josh Dworaczyk said.
"If we have to score more points with Tyrann gone, we'll just have to do that," quarterback Zach Mettenberger said. "We understand we lost a teammate in Tyrann, a great playmaker. We're going to miss him a lot, but we've got to handle this adversity because this team is not a bad team even though we lost one of our best players."

Gallery 1401 (Terra Hall, 14th floor)
Mary Parisi: Food
"Food" explores the complicated relationship we have with food. In Mary Parisi's largescale color photographs, we see closeup views of the detritus of cooking and the preparation and aftermath of a meal. Starting in the 1990s, Parisi created sculptures and photographs of fruit and this exhibition is a continuation of that work. The Boston Globe wrote of "Food" that, "The irony of Mary Parisi's photographs of food is that, although completely undoctored, they look wildly unnatural, even unrecognizable, compared to the luscious offerings we see in the pages of magazines and supermarket fliers."
Through March 2
Sculpture Gallery (Hamilton Hall)
Adam Fergurson: Tune in Every Sunday
With his newest installation, Adam Fergurson revisits a constant theme in his work, which is to reveal that consciously or not, human beings are ritualistic and devotional by nature. "Tune in Every Sunday" asks the questions: Are pop culture and professional sports a religion? What do we worship and why? Is consumerism a ritualistic behavior? What does American society hold sacred? And, how does one express devotion? By creating shrines and offerings to imagined sports icons and re-contextualizing traditional tarot imagery in an everyman context, Ferguson challenges the viewer to reexamine their Sunday rituals.
Through February 10
Sol Mednick Gallery (Terra Hall, 15th floor)
Din of Murmurs: Mold by Nick Kline BFA '90 (Photography)
Photographer and 1990 UArts alum Nick Kline's series "Mold" comes by its title literally, depicting rubber silicone objects that were previously used in a casting process. Transformed into near abstractions, these mysterious black and white photographs explore presence and absence, and stem from Kline's ongoing socially engaged collaborative artwork since 2009 titled the GlassBook Project.

Now in his 80s, Radin has traveled the earth many times, often as a still photographer for film and television productions. His photographs have appeared in galleries throughout the United Sates, as well as in books and magazines. Radin's images encompass a wide range of subjects: animals and wild life, archeology and adventure, shrines and temples (Jain, Buddhist, Hindu and Greek Orthodox), portraits, and anthropological studies. Out of his entire collection of more than 6,000 slides, Radin has selected 40 photographs for UArts. They include images from Egypt, Nepal, India, China, Antarctica and Kenya.

Kivlehan picking up nuances in AFL
Mariners' No. 16 prospect goes 2-for-4 with an RBI in victory
By Robert Emrich / MiLB.com | October 22, 2013 9:38 PM ET
A few years ago, Patrick Kivlehan was doing something a little different in October.
So after leaving football behind to focus on baseball, the Mariners' No. 16 prospect is in the Arizona Fall League. He singled twice and drove in a run as Peoria beat Salt River, 5-3, on Tuesday.
Kivlehan lined to left field in his first at-bat in the third inning. He was forced out on the next play, but the Javelinas went on to score three times in the frame. The New York native singled home Jorge Bonifacio in the next inning before grounding out in his final two-at bats.
"I felt good," he said. "It was nice to finally get a couple hits and get the win. I just wanted to stay aggressive [and] get my pitch. You just want to do your part. I started it off and the rest of them finished it."
A fourth-round pick by the Mariners in 2012, Kivlehan is coming off a strong full-season debut, batting .303 with 16 homers in 128 games between Class A Clinton and Class A Advanced High Desert. The 23-year-old third baseman was second in the Mariners organization with 90 RBIs and scored 74 runs.
A football player at Rutgers, he switched back to baseball in fall 2011 following a three-year hiatus from the sport. The change did him good.
"Every now and then you think about it," Kivlehan said. "Mostly in [the] offseason when I'm at home late at night and doing nothing. I'm thinking about where I've been and where I've come from. Hopefully, one day [I'll] make it [to the Major Leagues]."
Kivlehan is batting .238 in six Arizona Fall League games and he has driven in a run in the past two games for the Javelinas. Participating in the league has given him a bigger frame of reference about the game.
"There's not too much specific," he said "I just want to get better at everything. Being so new to baseball, I just want to get as many reps as possible.
"I didn't really know what to expect. I didn't know anyone going except on my team. So far everything that's happened and everyone I've met have been awesome. I'm loving it out there."
Fellow Mariners farmhand Chris Taylor was 2-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored while Cameron Rupp drove in a pair of runs for Peoria. Bonifacio, the Royals' No. 5 prospect, doubled and singled.
Alex Sogard (Astros) improved to 2-1 after fanning two over two perfect innings. Carson Smith (Mariners) allowed a pair of hits in a scoreless ninth to record his first save of the fall.
Rockies' No. 9 prospect Kyle Parker homered, doubled and plated two runs and Stephen Piscotty, the Cardinals' seventh-ranked prospect, doubled home a run for the Rafters.
Grayson Garvin (Rays) gave up four runs on nine hits over 3 1/3 innings to suffer the loss.

I have a HP Mini 110. It has the BCM4312 which apparently from what I have read and experienced, doesn't work. I have heard that you can use ndiswrapper but you won't have the ability to inject or monitor on WiFi. So that leads me to ask, does anyone have an alternative Mini Half-PCI WiFi card to use? I have a BCM4311 which works for the most part for injecting and monitoring but it's a full PCI WiFi card and won't fit in the slot. Thanks!
I've got the same problem with HP mini 5101.
does any body know, how can i fix that?
thanks in advance.

Regional Reviews: New Jersey
Darkness to Light: Conscientious, Admirable and Very Long
Also see Bob's review of A Murder, A Mystery, and A Wedding
In textbook fashion, Darkness to Light wends through Beethoven's entire life. It begins in 1827 in Beethoven's Vienna home when he is on his death bed. He relates his life story to Gerhard, his best friend's adolescent son, who has been left to tend to him. He relates that he was born in 1770. We meet young Ludwig at the age of ten when Johann, his abusive alcoholic father, foolishly brings him to a scheduled meeting with the King of Bonn. His father expects to be promoted to the position of court Kapellmeister, which was once held by his own father. Instead, the King informs Johann that he is bringing in an outsider, a musician from the court in Vienna, for the job. Ludwig's father's abusive reaction costs him his position at the court. Johann immediately takes Ludwig out of school and arranges for the musical prodigy to give his first piano concert. It is with great reluctance that Ludwig's jealous father allows him to study with new court Kapellmeister Neefe.
Darkness to Light diligently continues to chronicle a plethora of events concerning Beethoven's musical genius and troubled life. Author Andy Shapiro depicts his move to Vienna at the age of 17 where he seeks the instruction of Mozart only to have to return temporarily to Bonn because of the death of his mother. Then there is Beethoven's support of and devotion to his younger brother Carl; his revengeful treatment of his hated father; the failure of his relationship with Juliet, the love of his life; his failure to sustain a relationship with any woman; his composing and performing successes; his debilitating loss of hearing over a period of many years; and, ultimately, his selfish, yet successful, battle with his brother Carl's widow to gain custody of his nephew. In his relationship with his nephew, Beethoven turns into the abusive father that he so hated. Finally, death frees Beethoven from his emotional pain and deafness. This imaginative, metaphysical conclusion, along with Beethoven's fearful speculation that his deafness derives from his father's curse upon him, are among the too few theatrical inventions which extend the play beyond its textbook feel.
Six actors play sixteen roles. The performances are lively and straightforward. David Sedgwick plays Beethoven from the age of 10 to his death at the age of 56 without any change in appearance or costume. Changes in intonation and movement lightly suggest the passage of the years. A dignified presence and believable displays of emotion are other elements of his solid performance.
The other cast members play a variety of roles, clearly delineating specific attributes for each role, and smoothly coalescing into an impressive ensemble. Maria Silverman gives compelling performances as Beethoven's mother, his lost love, his sister-in-law, and a woman of easy virtue. Paul Murphy is in exceptionally fine fettle in four character roles. Murphy is particularly engaging as the easygoing prince who is friend and benefactor to Beethoven, and as a distracted Mozart. Michael Giorgio, Brian J. Dowd and Dennis DaPrile play a total of eight roles with aplomb.
The large, semi-abstract unit set by Jessica Parks features four columns and multiple playing spaces at various levels, all surrounding a central stage on which is set a piano of the period. A valance depicting flowers in black on a white background is arced in a semi-circle across the center of the stage. There is a diaphanous curtain at the back of the stage on which identifying dates and locations are projected, and characters are seen in real lit shadow form.
As noted, director Larry Bart has directed most skillfully. He has effectively fulfilled Shapiro's intention to prominently feature Beethoven's stirring and enchanting music throughout the production. Still, it is only fair to note that Bart should have insisted that his author tighten each scene and the dramatic structure, substantially reducing the play's untenable length in the process.
Andy Shapiro's play is so diligent and detailed that we cannot help but believe in its fidelity to Beethoven's life. In a set of notes in the press packet, Shapiro writes that his play is largely factual, while painstakingly noting several specific deviations from facts concerning people and events which he made for dramatic purposes. He even points out where he imputed beliefs and ideas to Beethoven and others which he could only assume were consistent with their lives and times. Andy Shapiro is clearly a man to be believed.
Neophyte author Shapiro submitted the play to 12 Miles West, which has a new playwright's development program. The play has been under development - a number of workshops and staged readings have been assayed there since 2004.
Darkness to Light is an admirable accomplishment for Shapiro. With editing and re-shaping, Darkness into Light could provide suitable, edifying fare for regional and youth-oriented theatres and student audiences.
Darkness to Light continues performances (Thurs.-Sat. 8 pm/ Sun. 3 PM) through June 8, 2008 at the 12 Miles West Theatre in residence at Playwrights Theatre, 33 Green Village Road, Madison, NJ 07940. Box Office: 973-259-9187; online: www.12MilesWest.org.

CFOs PLAN SLIGHT INCREASE IN FINANCIAL HIRING IN FIRST QUARTER
Robert Half Financial Hiring Index: Business Confidence Remains High, Recruiting Challenges Rise
MENLO PARK, CA, December 6, 2010 -- A net 2 percent of chief financial officers (CFOs) interviewed for the Robert Half Financial Hiring Index said they plan to hire full-time accounting and finance professionals in the first quarter of 2011. While modest, the number represents an increase from the fourth-quarter projection and is the strongest showing in more than two years.
Eighty-eight percent of CFOs expressed confidence in their firms' growth potential in the first quarter, and businesses also report greater hiring difficulty. Half (50 percent) of executives interviewed said it is challenging to locate highly skilled finance professionals, four points higher than the previous quarter and up from 34 percent in the second-quarter survey.
The Robert Half Financial Hiring Index is based on telephone interviews with more than 1,400 CFOs across the United States. It was conducted by an independent research firm and developed by Robert Half International, the world's first and largest staffing services firm specializing in accounting and finance. Robert Half has been tracking financial hiring activity in the United States since 1992.
"As business needs rise, companies are more open to hiring on both a full-time and temporary basis," said Max Messmer, chairman and CEO of Robert Half International. "Some firms that made deep personnel cuts are now finding their teams are too lean to maintain quality service and meet increased customer demands."
Accounting and Finance Hiring -- By Region
The West South Central states are expected to see the most hiring activity in the first quarter. A net 14 percent of CFOs plan to add full-time accounting and finance professionals.
"Companies in the West South Central region, especially those in the manufacturing and energy sectors, want to have their teams in place to start the new year strong and are making selective hires," Messmer noted. "Other businesses are resuming projects that had been placed on hold, which may require adding personnel."
Above-average hiring activity also is predicted in the Pacific region. Seven percent of CFOs there expect to add staff and 3 percent anticipate declines, a net 4 percent increase in hiring activity.
Accounting and Finance Hiring -- By Industry
Across the United States, financial executives in the wholesale industry are most likely to hire additional staff in the upcoming quarter. Ten percent of wholesale industry respondents plan to expand their teams and none expect staff reductions.
About the Robert Half Financial Hiring Index
First published in 1992, the Robert Half Financial Hiring Index was conducted by an independent research firm and is based on more than 1,400 telephone interviews with CFOs from a random sample of U.S. companies with 20 or more employees. For the study to be statistically representative and ensure that businesses from all segments were represented, the sample was stratified by geographic region and company size (by number of employees). The results were then weighted to reflect the proper proportions of company size within each region.
The Financial Hiring Index is conducted as part of the Robert Half Professional Employment Report, which tracks hiring trends among professional occupations. More information about the Professional Employment Report is available at www.roberthalf.us/per.
About Robert Half International
Robert Half International was founded in 1948 and is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Its financial staffing divisions include Accountemps, Robert Half Finance & Accounting and Robert Half Management Resources, for temporary, full-time and senior-level project professionals, respectively.

text: Body ContentWhat is a CV? A CV is a document that tells a prospective employer about you and your: qualifications work history skills experience personal interests It needs to make a good impression as it is often the first point of contact an employer will have with you. As a school or college leaver, your CV will look quite different to someone who has several years of work experience. Your CV should focus on your skills and recent studies. It is also important to include any work experience that you have gained (including Trident work experience). The downloadable example is designed to give you an idea of what your CV should look like with an explanation of each section below.Download example of school leaver CV (size 278kb)Download example of graduate CV (size 266kb) What does my CV need to include? Personal information This should include your: name address telephone number(s) email address - use a professional email address format - i.e. not email@example.com residential qualifications It does not need to include: age date of birth nationality Profile This is a short, high impact statement in which to sell yourself. It should include the area of work you want to move into and a summary of what you have to offer an employer. For example: "I am currently looking for an office-based position where I can develop my computer and administration skills. I am highly organised, work well with others and I am happy to undertake any necessary training that may be required." Key skills Ideally you should list 4 or 5 skills that match the job you are applying for, with a brief statement evidencing each skill. For example: Information and Technology - I have a working knowledge of computers and have recently updated my skills by passing the ECDL examinations. Education and qualifications In this section you should list where you were educated (secondary school and beyond), the dates you attended each institution and the qualifications you have gained, starting with the most recent first. For vocational qualifications include the modules or units you have studied. Employment history This should feature both paid and unpaid work, including Trident work experience and holiday / weekend work. Always start with your most recent job first and include the employer name, dates, job title and work responsibilities. Additional qualifications and achievements List any further achievements / qualifications not already noted in the above sections, this may include out-of-school activities such as sporting or musical achievements, charity fundraising or services you have carried out in the community. For example: "I have recently completed a First Aid in the Workplace training course". Interests Include current hobbies only and explain the skills that you have developed from these. Referees Include details of 2 people who have agreed to provide references for you, with name, job title, postal address, email address and telephone number (wherever possible). Ideally 1 referee should be from your school or college and the other from a workplace.

General CV guidance tailor you CV for the specific job you are applying for, focusing on your strengths relevant to the role be concise; your CV should be a maximum of 2 pages long - think quality, not quantity ensure your CV is typed and set out in a clear and easy to read way.'Arial' font, size 14 for titles, size 11 or 12 for all other text is recommended make sure you are consistent in the formatting of your CV, for example if you are using bullet points, keep them all the same, don't mix between arrows and stars use an appropriate email address (for example firstname.lastname@example.com would not be appropriate) stick to black and white as CVs prepared in colour may not be printed in colour, making them harder to read ask a friend of family member to check your CV for spelling mistakes and information you may have forgotten to include. Sometimes a fresh pair of eyes can pick up something you have missed Don't make false or exaggerated claims about qualifications or experience. You are likely to be asked to produce evidence of your qualifications don't include primary school education don't include 'socialising with friends' as a hobby enclose copies of references include salary required – there is a high risk of over or under estimating your worth, which can put employers off enclose a photograph with your CV show tables on your CV. They can be useful to create a neat and well formatted style but you should hide the lines before sending it to employers Before you send off your CV Be sure to ask yourself the following questions: does my CV answer any questions a potential employer might have about me? have I checked for spelling mistakes?

November 08, 2011
On occasion, Big League Stew honors a birthday boy per week by taking a longer look at his career. Please join us in lighting the candles.
Forget the seamy guy with the big head. Ed Kranepool is the real Mr. Met. Edward Emil Kranepool III signed with the Mets in 1962, the team's first year of existence, as a 17-year old out of James Monroe High School in the Bronx. He spent the next two decades with the team, and has been one of the players most associated with the team in the three decades to follow.
Kranepool was a big deal as a high school prospect. In his senior year at James Monroe, he broke a home run record previously held by school alumnus Hank Greenberg and that was the sort of slugging lefty first baseman the Mets thought they were getting for their $80,000 bonus. They fast-tracked him to the majors, as he appeared in three games that September, all before his 18th birthday on Nov. 8. But while everyone predicted from the start that he'd be a perennial star, Kranepool turned out to be merely okay.
Still, Kranepool is one of the better New York-born baseball players to actually play in his hometown. He's one of 50 players born in the five boroughs of New York to make the All-Star team, but just one of 19 to make the All-Star team while playing for a New York team. (The modern All-Star game began in 1933, so this excludes a few earlier New York stars, like Frankie Frisch, the Fordham Flash, who starred for the Giants in the 1920s.) Kranepool still lives in the Big Apple, still gives interviews to WFAN and other local outlets, and still has a Noo Yawk accent.
Quite frankly, Kranepool almost certainly would have benefited from more seasoning in the minors. He played just 41 games in the minors in 1962 before being called up for the firs time and played just another 68 over the next two seasons. He was essentially a starting major leaguer at age 18, partly because the woeful Amazin's didn't particularly have anyone else to play first base. From 1962 to 1967, they lost 648 games, an average of 108 a year. But Kranepool was so offensively inconsistent that he got sent back to the minors for two months in 1970 at age 25 after playing parts of eight years in the majors. He came back for good after that, but was never a full-time starter, platooning at first base and in the outfield.
His 118 homers are 10th in Mets history, and his 618 RBI are fifth in Mets history.
Best Year: 1971: .280/.340/.447, 14 HR, 58 RBIs, 38 BB/33 K, 0 SB, 4 CS
Kranepool's lone All-Star appearance came in 1965, when he was just 20 years old. It wasn't a particularly good season in any respect — he was hitting a decent-not-great .287/.334/.444 when he went to the Midsummer Classic, and wound up hitting .253/.303/.371 on the season — but the Mets didn't have anyone else who was particularly good, either, so Kranepool was the single player they sent. Kranepool set his career high in games played that year, with 153. His actual best season was 1971, after his minor league stint in 1970.
In fairness, Kranepool hit very well in Triple-A, during his brief stints there in 1963, 1964, and 1970, but he only played a combined 156 games on the farm, hardly enough time to unlearn any bad habits or learn any good ones. If the Mets could have had more patience with him as a prospect, he might have prospered more as a hitter. According to SABR historian Tara Krieger, Kranepool later came to the same conclusion, saying, "It might not have been to my best advantage to get to the major leagues so fast."
The 1971 season marked his second-highest home run total, exceeded only by his 16 in 1966, and his highest RBI total.
But if that was his best season as a regular, 1974 was surely his best as a pinch-hitter. For his career, he hit a fine .277/.343/.388 coming off the bench, and in '74 he was an amazing 17-for-35, a .486 average that baseball-reference.com notes is the best in history among pinch hitters with at least 30 at-bats.
Worst Year: 1968: .231/.271/.295, 3 HR, 20 RBIs, 19 BB/39 K, 0 SB, 3 CS
The Year of the Pitcher was hell on every hitter — the entire National League batted .243/.300/.341 — but Kranepool suffered more than most. In 127 games and 405 plate appearances, he only managed 17 extra-base hits and 19 walks. Led by Tom Seaver, Jerry Koosman, and a young Nolan Ryan, the team's pitching staff took advantage of the league-wide downturn in offense, and the Mets showed the first signs of non-ineptitude in their short existence. After averaging 108 losses a year during their first six seasons, the 1968 Mets improved to 73-89, presaging the success of the Miracle Mets of 1969, who shocked the Orioles for the first World Series championship in franchise history.
Off the Field: Kranepool opened a restaurant on Long Island with Ron Swoboda after the 1969 World Series, operating it for a relatively brief period of time. He was the Mets' representative to the players' union. And Kranepool passed the stockbroker's exam after turning 21, thus becoming one of only two licensed brokers in the league, along with the future Hall of Famer and future Senator Jim Bunning. He explained the similarities between baseball and investing to the New York Times:
"There is an element of risk in the situation," he said, referring to both the Mets and the market." The important thing is to eliminate slumps. We must analyze the reasons for the decline, then restore confidence.
"Personally, I like to catch things on the upswing. I'm a little like the stock market myself. I'm good for about half the year."
Today, Ed Kranepool might be best known to young fans as the namesake for a popular Mets blog. But his unique name has really been everywhere for the past half-century. As the famous note handed to Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart during the 1973 NLCS read: "Kranepool flies to right, Agnew resigns."

San Francisco (AFP) Dec 24, 2012
A lawsuit is seeking to stop Instagram from changing its terms of service, saying the Facebook-owned smartphone photo-sharing service is breaching its contract with users.
The class action lawsuit filed Friday by the Southern California-based Finkelstein and Krinsk law firm called on the federal court to bar Instagram from changing its rules.
"Instagram is taking its customers property rights while insulating itself from all liability," the law firm said in the filing, which also demanded that the service pay its legal fees.
"In short, Instagram declares that 'possession is nine tenths of the law and if you don't like it, you can't stop us.'"
Facebook said the complaint was "without merit." "We will fight it vigorously," the social network added.
Changes to the Instagram privacy policy and terms of service had included wording that allowed for people's pictures to be used by advertisers at Instagram or Facebook worldwide, royalty-free.
Last week, Instagram tried to calm a user rebellion by apparently backing off the changes, due to come into effect from January.
"I want to be really clear: Instagram has no intention of selling your photos, and we never did. We don't own your photos, you do," Instagram co-founder and chief Kevin Systrom said in a blog post.
But the lawsuit, filed in San Francisco, argues that Instagram didn't backpedal enough and that customers who leave the service still forfeit their rights to any photos that they had previously shared on the service.
"The purported concessions by Instagram in its press release and final version of the new terms were nothing more than a public relations campaign to address public discontent," the complaint said.
Tens of thousands of Instagram users in the state of California are eligible to join the class action lawsuit.

Lufkin's DeAndre Robertson the ETSN.fm + Dairy Queen Defensive Player of the Week
Lufkin's defense made quite the season-opening statement last Friday night at Abe Martin Stadium. The Panthers used a 16-sack effort to help turn the tide in their 52-28 victory over John Tyler.
And while several Panthers defenders stood out — eight different players had at least one-half sack — senior linebacker DeAndre Robertson led the way with 3.5 sacks to earn ETSN.fm Dairy Queen Defensive Player of the Week honors.
Robertson (5-10, 180) recorded his first sack of the night late in the first quarter with Lufkin trailing 21-14. He added a half-sack later in the possession with JT facing a first-and-10 from the Panthers' 25. The drive ended one play later on a Michael Farley interception that led to the game-tying score.
By the time Robertson collected his final two sacks of the night, Lufkin had built a 46-21 third-quarter lead.
In all, Lufkin forced 21 John Tyler plays to go for negative yardage, including a pair of safeties early in the third quarter that helped the Panthers score 18 points in the first 5:50 of the second half. And because of all the negative plays, John Tyler finished with only three rushing yards on 35 attempts.
Lufkin's Individual Sacks Vs. John Tyler
- LB DeAndre Robertson, Sr., 5-10, 180 — 3.5
- DL Josh Driver, Jr., 6-1, 225 — 2.5
- DL Darren Robins, Sr., 6-0, 190 — 2.5
- DL Dayrien Driver, Sr., 6-0, 225 — 2
- DL Eric Smallwood, Soph., 6-1, 220 — 2
- DL Chris Lenoir, Jr., 6-0, 225 — 1.5
- DL D.J. Williams, Sr., 6-4, 293 — 1.5
- DL Tyrique Spencer, Jr., 6-2, 240 — 0.5

Jillian Forsey's foray into distance running has earned her recognition as one of the province's finest athletes for the past year.
Forsey, a Kippens native who now runs in the United States, was chosen junior female athlete of the year for the province at the annual Sport Newfoundland and Labrador Stars and Legends Awards Gala Saturday night in St. John's.
Forsey won five gold medals in the School Sports Newfoundland and Labrador program. On the national scene, Forsey won a silver medal at the national cross-country running championships and won two silver medals at the National Standards Athletic Championships. At the international level, Jillian won gold with Team Canada at the NACAC 2013 Cross Country Championships in Jamaica.
Meanwhile, soccer player Malorie Harris and rugby player Ciaran Hearn were named the top senior athletes in Newfoundland and Labrador as a batch of awards were presented and a handful of people inducted into the Hall of Fame, including nordic ski star Lee Churchill of Corner Brook.
Owen Daly, a swimming sensation who lives in the capital city, got the nod as the junior male athlete of the year.
Jake Stanford of soccer took the coach of the year honours while his St. John's Under-18A girls' soccer side took team of the year honours.
Soccer's Jeff Babstock was chosen the executive of the year, while the volunteer of the year went to baseball's David Coates.
Hearn, a native of Conception Bay South, who was also named Canadian rugby 15s player of the year Friday night in Victoria, B.C., dominated 2013 on the international rugby pitch playing with Team Canada as they placed respectively in eight World Cup competitions. Hearn is also a member of Canada's 7s squad.

Provincially, he was chair of the Newfoundland and Labrador Soccer Associations technical committee, Hall of Fame committee, alumni fund committee and a member of the manager's committee. On the national level, Babstock was chair of the Under-18 Club Nationals Tournament.
The St. John's Under 18A Girls Soccer Team had a phenomenal 2013 on the field. At the 2013 Under 18 Club Nationals the team went to the finals undefeated with victories over Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador 2 and after 120 minutes of play they came up short to Quebec in penalty shots, winning a silver medal. They won gold at the 2013 Under 18A provincial tournament.

The B squad started strong on their first possession when an onside kick was grabbed by Jon Mattern. Although the Cowboys moved downfield quickly with runs by Sal Tobia and a pass from quarterback Rocco Carnevale to Pete Wujciak for a 22 yard gain, they gave up the ball on a fourth down attempt. Key tackles from Patrick Dardis, and a backfield tackle by Mattern, held the Panthers and the Cowboys took over on their own 18. Tobia ran for 5 yards and t hen scored the Cowboys' only touchdown on an end run. The extra point was not good.
The Panthers were unable to score in the second quarter due to key tackles from Dardis, Josh Sigler and Michael Volkert. The second quarter ended with the Panthers deep in Cowboy territory, but their scoring drive was ended when Rob Calabrese sacked the quarterback and Tobia recovered the ball.
The Cowboys kicked off to open the second half. The Panthers had three quick first downs and were finally held by tackles from Billy Mensch and Sigler. After offensive gains by Cowboys Burt Sempier and Joe Michura, the Panthers took over and were again held by key tackles including a quarterback sack by Cody D'Alessandro and quarterback pass pressure from the defensive line including Domenick Zingali.

In a letter sent to the IRS Friday, the NAACP cited what it contends is evidence that the agency launched the audit before the November election because of political pressure. The group provided a copy of the letter to USA TODAY.
IRS Commissioner Mark Everson wrote to two congressional Democrats in November, saying that his agency began investigating several dozen nonprofit groups based in part on complaints from two members of Congress, whom he did not identify. The IRS is prohibited by law from identifying the subjects of audits.
The IRS notified the NAACP of the audit on Oct. 8. The IRS told the group that its tax-exempt status was in jeopardy because its chairman, Julian Bond, had attacked President Bush in a speech to the group's national convention in July. The NAACP received a summons on Jan. 14 for information related to the speech, but in Friday's letter it declined to comply.
"It appears that political pressure, rather than any sound legal authority, motivated the Service" to open the audit, says the letter from NAACP lawyers Marcus Owens and Lloyd Mayer. Owens is the former head of the IRS office that oversees tax-exempt organizations.
The IRS denies any partisan motive for the probe, which targets "a wide array of groups across the political and ideological spectrum," Treasury Department spokesman Rob Nichols said. The IRS can ask a court to enforce the summons.
Tax law bars charities organized under section 501(c)(3), such as the NAACP, from taking sides in political campaigns. The law restricts such groups because donations to them are tax-deductible for the donor and they are in effect subsidized by the government.
Everson said in a letter to Rep. Charles Rangel of New York, the top Democrat on the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, that charitable groups must avoid "reasonably overt communication ... that the organization supports or opposes a particular candidate."
Owens, the NAACP attorney, said the IRS appears to be using a more expansive definition of political activity than it has in the past. "This is highly questionable," he said, noting the "interesting alacrity with which the IRS jumped into this."

Emporio do Brasil now Little Brazil -- and that's just the start of the changes
Lori Midson
The former Emporio do Brasil has big plans. It's already changed its name to Little Brazil, and within the next few weeks will move from the small spot on Federal Boulevard where it's been for five years to a much larger space near Colorado Boulevard and Leetsdale.
The new Little Brazil will still include a market, but it will expand into a full-scale restaurant, turning out a menu of traditional Brazilian fare, including the excellent feijoada that earned a spot on our 100 Favorite Dishes list.
We'll dish up more details as they become available.

That's not correct. "is" checks for identity, "==" for equality.
Only use "is" if you must know whether you are working on the same object; thus in practise, you only need to use it for "obj is None".
Your "int" and "string" examples only work by chance, due to the way the CPython interpreter is implemented. Take a look at this:
a = 100
b = 100
print a is b # True
a = 1000
b = 1000
print a is b # False
CPython caches instances of small integers, like 100. Therefore, they are the same object, larger integers however are created each time they are used, unless they are in the same operation or so (which is why "1000 is 1000" will still be True)
I do not know when and how CPython uses the same string instance for the same strings, but you should use == there as well. You could force instances of the same ("equal") string to be the same object by using intern, but you really shouldn't:
a = "python"
b = "pytho"
b += "n"
print a is b # False
a = intern(a)
b = intern(b)
print a is b # True
tl;dr: only use "is" when checking for None, otherwise, always use "=="
>>> a = 500
>>> b = a
>>> c = 500
>>> help(id)
Help on built-in function id in module __builtin__:
id(object) -> integer
Return the identity of an object. This is guaranteed to be unique among
simultaneously existing objects. (Hint: it's the object's memory address.)
>>> id(a)
>>> id(b)
>>> id(c)
>>> a == b
>>> a is b
>>> a == c
>>> a is c

As I wrote last time, conservatives in the state government have been attacking the University of Wisconsin, where I went to college. Studying religion and ideology, I've come to appreciate many conservative and traditionalist perspectives. But this assault on the UW system raises a tough question: why is it that conservatives – including religious conservatives – often seem so bloody hostile toward higher education? Some might say that it's because religious conservatives are Dark Ages throwbacks, but I think that some better answers might instead come from asking a more interesting and useful question: what is higher education for? What does higher education offer a rich, complex society like ours? [Read more…]

I can understand. It's not a top priority since I already have several
patches to review. BTW, the updates of the htdig.org web site from CVS
don't seem to be happening. I'm assuming you did a manual update, so
perhaps getting a cron job up would be useful.

After a rocky first inning, rookie Jonathon Niese settled down and delivered a great pitching performance, allowing only one run to the Houston Astros. The Astros scored their only run in the first after Niese walked two batters and gave up one of the four hits he would allow all night.
After the first inning, Niese retired 10 batters in a row. He only struck out three batters, but he drove the Astros into the ground and induced a couple of double plays.
The Mets offense exploded for the first double-digit scoring effort since June 24 when the Mets beat the Cardinals 11-0. They had a multiple-home run night, three to be exact, for the first time in recent memory.
Jeff Francoeur launched a three-run home run in the fifth inning. It was one of four RBI on his two hits tonight. Omir Santos had a solo homer in the sixth. David Wright finally ended his home run drought in the ninth inning with the game out of hand. It was his first home run in 75 at-bats.
The Mets' scoring started off early in the first inning when they walked and had three hits. Daniel Murphy scored two with a double, Francoeur had a sacrifice fly and Cory Sullivan drove in Murphy. Angel Pagan, Santos, Luis Castillo, Murphy and Francoeur each had two hits.
Once again, the Mets didn't gain any ground on the Phillies as they blew out the Cardinals, 14-6.
The Mets can make this a 4-6 road trip if they can defeat the Astros on Sunday. Livan Hernandez tries to build on his last strong outing. Hopefully, tonight's offensive outburst wasn't a fluke.

The next wave of talented wrestlers to come out of the Desert Vista wrestling room have their work cut out for it considering the past two seasons.
All but one of the four individuals who combined for six state titles, while helping the Thunder to two top three finishes at the state tournament, are gone.
While the regular season is about four months away, the real work is down now as the state's top wrestlers head to Fargo, N.D. this week for the Fila Cadet and Junior National Championships in Greco-roman and freestyle disciplines.
The top wrestlers go there seeking a "stop sign" trophy given to All-Americans (top eight) but sometimes it is more about the time on the mat than the rewards off of it.
"In order to get on the brink of the next level they need to go and test themselves against the best," Thunder coach David Gonzalez said. "This is the time of the year to try things and evaluate where you are at and what you need to do in order to get better."
If two-time state champion Alex Bambic and fellow senior Cooper Gardner are going to get any help in keeping Desert Vista's run, rolling junior-to-be Tristan Ezell and sophomore-to-be Brian Mitchell are the best candidates.
It is going to difficult to replace the firepower lost to graduation with the departures of Robbie Mathers, Robert Sobarzo, Kendall Love and Derek Allen, but the Thunder have the type of program that always produces a quality lineup from top to bottom.
The difference makers in a lineup make all the difference, and the Thunder should have Ezell and Mitchell to count on next year.
Mitchell has already found the podium at the state level, finishing sixth at 106 pounds as a freshman, but needed to test himself nationally to see how far he has come since the season ended in February.
It has been a difficult run this summer, facing top competition at the western regionals in Iowa and the national folkstyle tournament in Idaho, but one great week in Fargo could change the outlook in a hurry.
"Brian is coming along and it has been great getting him some national exposure so he can see how he does on the big scene," Gonzalez said. "He has taken it on the chin a little, but he is getting his name out there and competing against the best."
Gonzalez believes Mitchell has the ability to develop into something special and this kind of exposure is the type of experience needed to get him there.
"He is really stepping it up and the confidence is coming," Gonzalez said. "He is learning to never let the outcome rest in someone else's hand."
Ezell already knows all about that as he cited two victories that required an undeniable amount of will to come out on top in the biggest matches of his career this far.
Whether it was a consolation semifinals match in the Cliff Keen Reno Worlds in the summer of 2010 that he won in ultimate overtime to secure a top four finish, or last year's state tournament when Westwood's Trenton Zornes executed a five-point headlock early in the match, but Ezell got two third period takedowns to win 11-9 to stave off elimination.
"I definitely try to learn from each match, but those wins show that I can come back no matter what," he said. "I like wrestling when the pressure is on and stepping up in big matches."
Gonzalez has seen willingness from Ezell to go from a talented underclassman to a leader in the room.
"He is starting to really get it," he said. "He is taking things to an intricate level by doing the extra things for himself that he knows will take him to the next level. This summer is going to be big for him.
"He has always had the moves, but now he understands when to hit the right move at the right time."
Ezell, who went 25-13 at 182 last season and missed placing at state by one match, went 9-3 at the western regional duals in Idaho.
The focus now is on Fargo where he struggled in both disciplines one year ago.
"Last year was a shocking experience," he said. "Every match is harder and any mistake beats you, but it made me better. I had a good year last year, but coming so close (to placing) has served as motivation for everything I've been doing (during the offseason.)
"I've wrestled on some big stages, but the biggest ones are still out there."
