First and foremost, thanks to Carp for giving me a spot in the lineup. Most appreciated.
Here we are, folks. A dozen games in the books already. Twenty-five percent of the schedule done, just like that.
Sure, a truncated 48-game season is better than no season at all. But it hasn't started out the way most of Ranger Nation thought it would. A team that came within six wins of capturing the Stanley Cup last season shouldn't have stumbled out of the gate, right?
When you don't play together as a team for nearly eight months, there's going to be some rust.
When you don't go through Camp Tortorella, setting the foundation for the season, there's going to be some mistakes. And in some cases, plenty of them.
We've seen a little bit of everything from the Rangers over these first 12 tilts. Things that make you pull for them with all your heart. Things that make you pull your hair out — like Tuesday night's third-period meltdown in Beantown.
They sit with a 7-5 record after the 0-2 start that probably had many of you teetering on the ledge.
So what to make of it all?
Without any further adieu, here are a few of my observations (in no particular order):
1. 61-derful — Up until the Rangers acquired him in last July's mega-deal with the Columbus Blue Jackets, Rick Nash was a polarizing figure amongst the Blueshirt faithful, with the contributors to this blog being no exception. However, the big guy has been nothing less than a powerful, energizing figure from game one. Granted, he only has three goals. But his play in all three zones in nothing short of outstanding. He makes all the prototypical power moves. He's hard to take off the puck because of his body position. He's got a pretty good set of wheels. The coach loves him. And that deke he put on Rask in the shootout was amazing. Great move getting Mr. Nash.
2. Not so special teams — Perhaps the NHL should adopt a rule enabling teams to decline penalties, just like they do in the NFL. That way, the Rangers wouldn't have to put themselves and their fans through the pain of watching their powerless play go to work. What is especially alarming is their ineptitude with the 5 on 3. It's already cost them valuable points in the standings. And the penalty killing (middle of the pack right now) certainly hasn't been up to its usual standards. The absences of Brandon Prust, Brandon Dubinsky and Ruslan Fedotenko certainly have something to do with that.
3. Filling the need for more speed — As you go up and down the lineup, you see the Rangers certainly have some players who can wheel and deal. Hagelin, Kreider, Gaborik, Nash, J.T. Miller, Powe, Halpern, McMonster. All can really move. And the way the game is played today, you need that speed. Rupp couldn't keep up, now he's in Minny. That's how it goes.
4. Rounding into royal form — It took nearly a month for Henrik Lundqvist to start playing like Henrik Lundqvist. But that's what happens when a world-class athlete doesn't have world-class competition, or any competition for that matter, for eight months. The King thrives on plenty of work. And it has taken him a quarter of the campaign to regain his Vezina Trophy winning form. As he goes, so go the Rangers. It's that simple.
5. Changing their depth perception — The Rangers were certainly a top-heavy team for most of the first dozen games, with the Richards-Nash-Gaborik line being the focal point of their offense. But a couple of moves have taken the Rangers out of the depths with more depth. Ridding themselves of Mike Rupp and adding Darroll Powe gave them a player who could work third or fourth-line minutes with speed, snarl and penalty killing ability. Plus J.T. Miller and Chris Kreider have given the Rangers a solid third line along with Captain Callahan. Arron Asham and Jeff Halpern have looked good recently as well. Teams that roll four lines can make a lot of noise in the spring. Remember what the Devils fourth line did to the Rangers in the Eastern Conference Finals last season? 'Nuff said.
6. Sometimes Brad, sometimes bad – Brad Richards will never fulfill the expectations of his lofty contract. But, he is a seasoned veteran with a season on Broadway under his belt. He should be adjusted. He should be more consistent. He should be putting more points on the board. Being a mentor to the kids is one thing. But that won't get the Rangers to the top of Mount Stanley. And get him off the point on the powerless play, please!
7. Less than full Boyle — Brian Boyle has been a big disappointment thus far this season. Counted on in previous campaigns for solid third-line minutes and strong penalty killing duties, No. 22 has provided neither so far. Subsequently, he's in the coach's dog house and will hopefully learn from watching his teammates from the press box. This is a character player who can play at a much higher level than he's shown. Not sure when he'll get back into the lineup, though.
8. Stral stands tall –– When you have Dan Girardi, Ryan McDonagh, Marc Staal and Michael Del Zotto as your top four guys on the blue line, you know where the majority of the minutes are going to go. But Anton Stralman has been super solid again this year. A sound positional player with deceptive speed and a pretty good shot, No. 6 has become a mainstay on the Blueshirt backline. Perhaps he should man the right point on the powerless play.
9. Too many men, too many times — Twelve games. Six penalties for too many men on the ice. WTB? Change is supposed to be good for you.
10. Trying to find the grind — Last season, the Rangers imposed their will of plenty of their opponents, as they played a shutdown style that preserved many a lead. It was a part of their DNA. Their identity. That has been noticeably absent for much of the first dozen tilts. The only time we've really seen it was the third period last Sunday at the Garden against the Lightning. Certainly didn't happen in the third period in Boston. To take another team's will away is both a physical and mental thing. It's how teams go deep in the play-ons. The Rangers need to get back to that. Fast.

Topic: First scan since trial started
Hi, everyone.
I have my first scan since I started the trial on Friday. I get results on Monday. It's a weekend of waiting, but that's much better than a week!
I'm trying not to think about it. I have put my faith, and my life, in Gods hands. And I know negative thoughts are detrimental. So I'm thanking Him for steering me to the trial, and telling him I am sure He has it under control. I'm thanking Him for my good results for next week!
I'm feeling like a teenager with acne, but if that's my side effects, I'll take it!
And I will post as soon as I am able so you can all hear how this new drug is working, on me, at least!! I can't wait! I'm very excited!
For those of you who don't know or can't remember, I am in a trial for those for whom traditional therapies have not worked. It's here in the north east, at Fox Chase, U of P and one other cancer center. And I believe there are still openings. The drug is LY2801653.
"Don't just have minutes in the day; have moments in time."
Any opinions I give are based on personal experiences, and are not based on medical knowledge. I strongly suggest receiving medical care and opinions.

>General Running>Training.
The Logic of Long Distance
Runners run.
Me and my gang in Breck
That which does not kill us makes us stronger. Neitzsche "Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go." "Dedication and commitment are what transfer dreams into reality."
I just was looking through an old thread from letsrun (remember when it was great, before the days of incessant trolling?) and it's such a gem, that I thought I would post it here in the hope that it might spark some discussion about general approaches to training.
When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you've done?
I found the stuff about speed before endurance interesting. I'll come back to this after finishing reading the thread.
The first stage is an introductory period (6-8 weeks) of building volume through easy runs and progressive tempos where the runner finishes strong when feeling good. This period can be sustained longer or extended when coming off of a long break or injury. Though this is called an introductory phase, this sort of running is where, over years, minutes will come off of your time.
The second stage is a fundamental period (8-10 weeks) where the runner aims to build race-specific aerobic power. This stage involves a heavy work load because mileage is maintained while race specific intensity is added. You can see the threasd for more specific advice on how to add this intensity, but really it's just a matter of throwing in a couple of hard sessions a week. The increase in workload cannot be sustained indefinitely and gains here are best thought of as "sharpening"; after a racing season, it's back to the introductory period.
I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it. firstname.lastname@example.com
He also seems to turn the traditional wisdom on its head in terms of building speed first and then focusing on endurance (after an initial base building phase).
As he's talking specifically about marathon training, it's hard to take the training as purely speed first-endurance second. He builds endurance and works on shorter progression runs, but not hard progressions, in the first phase. In the second it focuses on race specific work, which is naturally more endurance oriented due to race specificity. He does talk pace both below and above anaerobic threshold in the second phase, which makes sense and isn't all that different than would be done for other race distances.
The order is not important since we always, in training, begin in the middle. Over the course of a lifetime of running, 6 week shifts of emphasis are blurred, a marathon runner is born: speed-endurance.
Think Whirled Peas
Just because running is simple does not mean it is easy.
Also, since the periodization is repeated, year after year, temporally neither is first. First one, then the other. The order is not important since we always, in training, begin in the middle. Over the course of a lifetime of running, 6 week shifts of emphasis are blurred, a marathon runner is born: speed-endurance.
How To Run a Marathon: Step 1 - start running. There is no Step 2.
Stated another way, its great that you can see the forest from the trees ... but sometimes the job is to see the tree.
Intelligence demands breaking the holistic act of running down into its constituent parts: speed, endurance, tempo stuff, power, form, etc. That's what it means to intelligently analyze your running: to look at it from one angle or from another to try to identify strengths and weaknesses. These distinctions are useful.

For some Mets fans, this is the response to a Jeopardy clue: "Which Mets pitcher should be sent to Triple-A?" I don't see it that way, and indeed, the question is largely a rhetorical one at this point.
Mike Pelfrey has moments when he looks like an ace. He has moments when he looks like a pitcher who doesn't belong in the major leagues. This is nothing new, and has nothing to do with some perceived psychological or mental limitation. It is because he doesn't strike many hitters out, leaving him vulnerable to wide swings in his results.
Look, the results have been awful in 2011. Through six starts, his ERA is an unsightly 7.39. But as I detailed in a spirited discussion on Twitter Friday night (are you following us @lohudmets yet? Well, why on earth not?) with Steve Keane of The Eddie Kranepool Society and Metsblog's Michael Baron, a period like this recent struggle is nothing new. And what usually follows is an evening out of luck.
This is what happens to pitchers who only strike out around 5/9 innings, as Pelfrey has throughout his career. Sometimes, the balls find holes. Sometimes, they don't.
From June 19-July 19, 2010, Pelfrey had a 9.11 ERA over six starts. In his next seven starts? A 2.58 ERA.
From June 21-July 17, 2009, Pelfrey had a 6.19 ERA over six starts. In his next six starts? A 3.58 ERA.
From April 25-May 26, 2008, Pelfrey had a 6.47 ERA over six starts. In his next six starts? A 3.67 ERA. In his next 11 starts? A 2.57 ERA.
In short, the Met defense can go a long way toward improving Pelfrey's performances. Pelfrey himself, if he found a way to increase his swing-and-mises, could as well.
But chances are that this is Mike Pelfrey, for better or worse. And that is a pitcher with value- he's been durable, for one thing, and there's a clear floor on what you will get from him over the long haul, with the floor getting higher depending on how good the rest of your team is defensively. That is value enough to keep him in the rotation, especially when the alternative is Dillon Gee, a pitcher with more floor than ceiling himself.
It is time for Mets fans to stop panicking every time he goes through a rough stretch. And it is also time for fans to put aside the expectations of a future ace, fed by his high draft selection and tall frame. (The team probably didn't do him any favors in this regard by starting him on Opening Day.) The Mets have someone even taller than Pelfrey's 6'7″ in Chris Young, and no one expects him to be an ace, or even throw 90 miles per hour.
Put it this way: if the Mets didn't want Pelfrey's ups and downs in the rotation, they probably would have traded him last winter. Because Pelfrey has been who he is now for years.

Bruno Mars Confirmed As Super Bowl Halftime Performer [VIDEO]
Bruno Mars moves from the MetLife Stadium parking lot to the 50-yard-line as The NFL that the 14-time Grammy nominee will be the half time entertainment at Super Bowl XLVIII.
The league made the official announcement before today's 1:00p.m. games on Fox. He said on Fox NFL Sunday that he "had a few phone calls to make" about the halftime show and promised it would be "good."
The league says details about the performance will revealed during the season by Fox, the network airing the Super Bowl on February 3 from the Meadowlands.
Looking forward to it! #superbowlXLVIII RT @BrunoMars: WE'RE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!!!!! #PepsiSBHalftime
— Governor Christie (@GovChristie) September 8, 2013
The Hawaiian born Mars has had a number of solo hits and collaborations in the past few years including "Treasure," "When I Was Your Man" and "It Will Rain" from the Twilight movies. the performed in 2012 in the parking lot of MetLife Stadium with the Lollapalooza tour.
Many thought that given the location of the first outdoor cold-weather that the show would take on a regional theme with New Jersey's Bon Jovi or Bruce Springsteen or New York's Billy Joel or Jay-Z would be selected.

CyrusOne Inc (NASDAQ:CONE) currently has an Average Broker Rating of 1.47. This number is based on the 17 sell-side firms polled by Zacks. The ABR rank within the industry stands at 193. Analysts on a consensus basis are expecting that the stock will reach $61.15 within the year. The ABR is provided by Zacks which simplfies analyst ratings into an integer based number. They use a one to five scale where they translate brokerage firm Buy/Sell/Hold recommendations into an average broker rating. A low number in the 1-2 range typically indicates a Buy, 3 represents a Hold and 4-5 represents a consensus Sell rating.
Investors may be searching high and low for the secret to attaining success in the markets. Knowing when to sell can be just as important as deciding which stocks to buy. Holding on to a loser for too long may leave a sour taste in the mouth. Investors may have unrealistic expectations about a particular name. Knowing when to cut and run can be a gigantic savior for overall portfolio health. Of course if investors end up selling winners too early, they will most likely be leaving too much profit on the table. Finding a good balance and knowing overall market conditions can help with the decision if the time has come. Closely tracking fundamentals and technicals can help give some insight into stock price behavior. Making sure company earnings are in line may also be a wise choice when investing in a recently researched stock.
An evaluation of a stock's expected performance and/or its risk level as judged by a rating agency such as Standard and Poor's. A stock rating will usually tell the investor how well a stock's market value relates to what analysts believe is a fair value for the stock, based on an objective evaluation of the company. The greater the amount by which the fair value exceeds the market value, the more highly recommended a buy the stock is. Conversely, if the market value of the stock exceeds the fair value of the stock, then analysts recommend that the stock be sold.
As we move into the second half of the year, investors will be keeping a close watch on their portfolios. There are plenty of financial gurus who are predicting the end of the bull market run, and there are plenty on the other side who believe that stocks are bound for greater heights. Whichever way the markets go, investors will need to watch which companies are hitting their marks on the earnings front. Investors may closely follow sell-side analyst estimates. It is important to remember that analyst projections are just that, projections. Following analyst expectations can provide a good glimpse into company actions, but strictly following what the analysts are saying may lead to difficulty in the future. Doing careful and extensive individual stock research may provide the investor with a more robust scope with which to successfully trade the market.
Research analysts are predicting that CyrusOne Inc (NASDAQ:CONE) will report earnings of $0.76 per share when the firm issues their next quarterly report. This is the consensus earnings per share number according to data from Zack's Research.
When getting into the markets, most investors realize that riskier stocks may have an increased potential for higher returns. If investors decide to take a chance on some of these stocks, they may want to employ some standard techniques to help manage that risk. This may involve creating a diversified stock portfolio. Mixing up the portfolio with stocks from different sectors, market caps, and growth potential, may be the right move. In general, the goal is to maximize returns in accordance with the individual's specific risk profile. It should be obvious that no matter how well rounded the portfolio is, there are always risks in the equity markets. Having a sound plan before investing can help ease the burden of knowing that markets can sometimes do crazy things without any rhyme or reason.
Most recently CyrusOne Inc (NASDAQ:CONE) posted quarterly earnings of $0.77 which compared to the sell-side estimates of 0.74. The stock's 12-month trailing earnings per share stands at $2.84. Shares have moved $7.72 over the past month and more recently, $-1.72 over the past week heading into the earnings announcement. There are 8 analyst projections that were taken into consideration from respected brokerage firms.
CyrusOne Inc (NASDAQ:CONE) closed the last session at $58.19 and sees an average of 585594.88 shares trade hands in each session. The 52-week low of the stock stands at $39.66 while the current level stands at 90.26% of the 52-week High-Low range. Looking further out we can see that the stock has moved 8.24% over the past 12 weeks and 30.09% year to date.
14 analysts rate CyrusOne Inc a Buy or Strong Buy, which is 82.35% of all the analyst ratings.

Jacques Torres Earl Grey Chocolate
These are chocolates w/high style and fabulous taste. I have only had these chocolates once before but they were seriously delicious. Delicate but powerful and complex. The chocolates themselves are often decorated w/cool designs and are visually satisfying to make a complete aesthetic/sybaritic experience. They came in a very cool little box too. A great treat or stylish gift but pricey

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/9/2009 (2912 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Jones, should he sign with the Blue Bombers, will only be the next in a long line of players who have run afoul of the law and most Bombers we talked to were more concerned with his ability to help the team than anything else.
"ö Terrence Edwards, WR -- "He's from Georgia, same as me. From what I've seen, he's a pretty good player. I don't know much about him, only what I read in the papers. If he's here, we'll welcome him. But I don't know that yet. But we'll give anybody a second chance."
"ö Lenny Walls, DB -- "Why do you have to hit me with that question? He's a helluva football player. That's all I know. He's somebody that can help. He's going to be a member of Swaggerville. You know that. Swaggerville is the secondary and anybody who possesses the swag to make plays back there. And he's got that."
"ö Obby Khan, OL -- "As a player, he's a phenomenal player. I don't follow the NFL too much, but from what I've seen, he's fast and agile. He's a little ball of hate. If any player can make us better, we'll take him. The coaching staff and management won't bring in any player that is going to make us worse, whether it be on the field or in the locker-room. If he can make this team better, we'll take him. We're men and we govern ourselves in the locker-room. If it gets to the coaches, it's gone too far. In this locker-room, we've done a great job with this group."
"ö Glen January, OL -- "He's an explosive player and pretty good at what he does. Any player that can come in and make us better, we welcome him with open arms. Generally speaking, we police ourselves and it comes down to us to make sure the locker-room is a good place."
"ö Brock Ralph, WR -- "At this point, it's just a rumour to us. We know as much as the guy on the street. Whoever comes our way we're prepared to welcome as part of the team. There was some discussion here, but most of it is from the outside in -- people wondering what this means and if it's true. Most of us don't have any specifics and we don't want to let it become a distraction. If there's a new face in the next couple of days, we'll welcome him."
"ö Shawn Gallant, LB -- "We're getting mixed reports. We're hearing from the media that he's coming and from everywhere else that he's not. It happens all the time. Players get cut from the NFL all the time and you never know if they'll show up or if they'll pan out if they do come. I've learned to just let it happen. It's a big name if it's the case, and if he's ready to play, he can help a team... I've never been out there covering a punt and worrying about another player. Unless he comes to my house banging pots and pans at three in the morning, he won't be a distraction to me."
"ö Doug Brown, DT -- "I don't deal in generalities or alleged rumours. I wanted to wait to comment until his contract is registered with the CFL and it becomes official. That's what I thought when I saw these rumours that Adam "Pacman" Jones could potentially be coming to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers... There's a fine line between what a player's talent can do to benefit a team and whether or not his baggage is detrimental. It's a case-by-case situation and I'm sure the people responsible for player additions and subtractions take this into account."

Marine Corps headquarters will temporarily adjust its leadership structure while military officials investigate whether a prominent general chosen to become the commandant's top adviser bears responsibility for last year's deadly attack on a coalition base in Afghanistan.
The shakeup was set in motion by Wednesday's retirement ceremony for Lt. Gen. Willie Williams, who was director of Marine Corps staff at the Pentagon since 2009. Williams' expected replacement is Maj. Gen. Charles "Mark" Gurganus, who was in charge of coalition forces in Afghanistan's Helmand province when 15 insurgents attacked Camp Bastion on Sept. 14, killing two Marines and destroying six aircraft.
Gurganus' new assignment and promotion to lieutenant general are on hold, however, as officials with U.S. Central Command determine whether he and members of his staff should be held accountable for the incident. To bridge the gap, Maj. Gen. Michael Regner has been named staff director for Headquarters Marine Corps, said Col. Chris Hughes, a Marine spokesman at the Pentagon.
It's a different title, but the responsibilities are similar, Hughes said. Regner will serve as a senior adviser to the commandant and assistant commandant, oversee headquarters operations much the way a chief of staff would, and engage with his counterparts in the Army, Navy and Air Force on issues bound for the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Williams' job will remain vacant pending conclusion of the Bastion investigation, Hughes said. It's a three-star billet, and the individual in that position is considered the Marine Corps' No. 3 general officer.
CENTCOM is investigating the Bastion attack at the request of the commandant, Gen. Jim Amos, who has said the Marine Corps must "hit the reset button on accountability" in the wake of several highly publicized scandals that have cast the service in a negative light. Since March, at least seven Marine officers have been removed from their jobs as a result of missteps within their units.
Questions remain about the level of security at and around Camp Bastion when the attack occurred, and whether complacency may be to blame. Gurganus has defended decision making ahead of the attack, saying changes were constantly made to keep the enemy off balance.
CENTCOM's investigation could be complete as soon as mid-August, Amos has indicated.
Regner arrives at the Pentagon having spent the last two years as commanding general of Marine Forces Korea.
His background is diverse, according to an official bio. Regner has commanded infantry units, and held key posts in Iraq and Afghanistan. He also has extensive experience in Washington, having worked previously as a Marine liaison to the House of Representatives, a member of the chief of naval operations' staff, and as the legislative assistant to Gen. James T. Conway, Amos' predecessor as commandant.

New 'Saved By The Bell' And 'Punky Brewster' Digital Comics Debut Today

Hey, cool script. I have one issue: i added manually a flag to switch off the echos, since i found it annoying, if the 2 echos pop up on each opening of a file (buffer). I think you do not need this code, but i would appreciate, if you would support this in one of your future versions. Best regards Peter
-- Thanks for the feedback! From version 0.3 on, the output verbosity can be configured and the default is to be less verbose.
Hey, it's me again. Is it somehow possible to automatically complete data, that comes from macros? I know it is difficult and your script would need some kind of an own preprocessor. Regards Peter
-- This sounds like you are searching for an extension of the "ctags" tool. I think that's not really in the scope of the script, since it only collects the generated tagfiles. There are multiple versions / variants of "ctags" around with "Exuberant Ctags" being the most widely known one AFAIK. Perhaps the problem can be solved by getting another "ctags" version? Regards, T.Kelter

Astros lose game, All-Star Altuve, ace Norris
Second baseman leaves with dislocated jaw; righty with back spasms
DETROIT -- The Astros lost their All-Star second baseman to a partially dislocated jaw in the second inning, and their ace got belted for seven earned runs in five innings before injuring himself throwing warmup pitches prior to the sixth.
It was that kind of Monday night for the Astros in their first game at Detroit as an American League team. What began as a one-run lead for Houston, and had the makings of a pitchers' duel between Bud Norris (4-4) and Anibal Sanchez (4-3), abruptly turned into a series-opening, 7-2 route.
However, it wasn't the injuries that extended the Astros' losing streak to five. It was one pitch. A pitch that Norris described as one of the poorest he's thrown while ahead in the count during his five-year career.
It came in the fourth inning, when he hung an 85-mph slider to Tigers' leadoff hitter Andy Dirks with the bases loaded.
"It was probably the worst 0-2 pitch I've made in my career, and Dirks put a good swing on it," Norris said. "It was unfortunate to me and my team, and I've got to learn from that. Next time, I can't make that same pitch."
The result would be Dirks' first career grand slam, as he sent a line-drive homer into the right-field seats. It was also the first grand slam allowed by Norris in his career.
The ironic part is that, with two strikes, Dirks wasn't attempting to put a powerful swing on the pitch. The Tigers left fielder said he was just hoping to shorten his swing and put it in play.
"It's just one of those things in baseball," Dirks said. "He didn't mean to leave a pitch over the plate like that, and I was fortunate enough to be on time with it and hit it."
Norris had been coming off his best start of the season and arguably career, pitching into the ninth inning for the first time against the Angels on Wednesday.
The 28-year-old had been throwing well, too. He allowed one run in the first inning on back-to-back doubles by Dirks and outfielder Torii Hunter, but settled down for the next two.
But allowing a five-hit, six-run fourth while against an opposing pitcher like Sanchez, who came into the game with a 1.97 ERA, put the Astros in too deep a hole to climb out of.
Along with Dirks, Victor Martinez also homered in the inning after a Prince Fielder opposite-field double to retake the lead. The Tigers notched two singles and a walk before Dirks stepped to the plate and turned the fourth into another one of those big innings Houston has been striving to avoid.
"Obviously, the big hit was the grand slam," manager Bo Porter said. "It was one of those things where, again, if we can stay away from the big inning and find a way to give up two, maybe three instead of giving up six, it's a different ballgame."
Considering Paul Clemens provided three innings of scoreless relief, it certainly had potential to remain a one-run game until late.
But that's not how it panned out. Instead, the Astros fell to 3-15 in their last 18 games. They also lost Norris and Altuve to freak injuries.
Norris hurt his back after throwing his first warmup pitch prior to the sixth. He was removed from the game, and the Astros will wait until Tuesday to see how he feels.
For Altuve, the hope was he could return for Tuesday's contest after suffering a partially dislocated right jaw colliding with Jimmy Paredes in the second inning on a short fly ball, however Altuve was placed on the bereavement list on Tuesday after the death of his grandmother and will miss at least the next two games.
"We can't hear anything from the dugout," Porter said when asked if anyone called for it. "But just from a fundamental standpoint, the infielder's job is to go and get the ball. The outfielder's job is to call him off."
Altuve said after the game he still felt pain, but believes he avoided anything long term.
Although the team rallied with Altuve out, scattering three straight singles to plate the go-ahead run on a Ronny Cedeno RBI groundout in the third, Houston knows it can't survive long without its best hitter.
"It's real tough. Altuve's the leader of the position players, he's the captain of this team," Clemens said. "Hopefully we'll get him back as soon as possible, but we gotta keep going. It's a big loss, but we gotta come out fighting tomorrow."

In my days as CTO of a technology company, I often received outside advice as to how I could improve my technology. A new set of eyes is a good thing, and often the recommendations were solid ideas I implemented to improve the product.
It appears that some cloud providers, such as Google, are also open to suggestions, as Phys.org reports: "Computer scientists at the University of California at San Diego, and Google have developed a novel approach that allows the massive infrastructure powering cloud computing to run more efficiently. The new approach can make these warehouse-scale computers run as much as 15 to 20 percent more efficiently."
[ Get the no-nonsense explanations and advice you need to take real advantage of cloud computing in InfoWorld editors' 21-page Cloud Computing Deep Dive PDF special report. | Stay up on the cloud with InfoWorld's Cloud Computing Report newsletter. ]
The scholars analyzed a bunch of Google Web services, including Gmail and search, and performed two basic steps:
- Gathered live data from the Google cloud in real time
- Analyzed that data on an isolated server
Based on the results of these experiments, the scientists developed a metric, called the NUMA score, that can determine how well random-access memory is allocated in large-scale computers. Optimizing the NUMA score may lead to 15 to 20 percent improvements in efficiency around processing in the cloud computing platform.
I suspect many public cloud computing providers need to optimize their systems. With that optimization should come more efficiency, which should lead to the ability to handle more tenants and, thus, the chance to increase revenue for the cloud providers.
Cloud users should also see this benefit in faster systems, as well as lower operational costs. Moreover, such metrics should let cloud users monitor and adjust tunable parameters for their specific type of processing they're doing. However, I doubt Google would let you do that for Gmail and search.
Such optimization analysis could be a new area of discipline as cloud providers continue to manage thousands of servers. After all, it pays to have heavy thinking occur around how well those systems are functioning. A small improvement could save millions of dollars a year.

Le recensioni dell'alloggio
2 thumbs up!! Bozena is a great and caring host. Before arrival she posted me detailed directios from the airport to her address. I arrived fairly late but she took the time to show me everything I needed and gave me some travel tips fir NYC as well as NJ. Home is clean, safe and comfortable. Description of room and photos are accurate. 5 min walk to bus station. Bus takes about 20-30min to times square (depending on traffic) and run regularly. Definitly 5 stars. Thank you.
I had an awesome time at Bozena's place. She's a lovely, motherly, caring woman with an amazing personality. She made me feel totally welcome (with a bear hug) when I first arrived at her place. The blue room is very neat with a big size, comfortable bed (suitable for two), very cosy and bright, en-suite with a very clean bathroom/neatly arranged towels. The air-conditioner works fine (perfect for the summer heat in NJ/NY)The house is entirely clean with a lovely kitchen. The location of the house is very central. The bus station is about 3 mins walk from the house. The 51 Bus takes you directly to Journal square (approx 8 mins) where you can take the path train(s) to Hoboken (One of my favorite places), NY uptown/downtown, world trade center & Newark - Totally convenient for tourists since most of the main tourist attractions are located within those areas. The path trains operate 24/7 so you can get back to the house anytime. Alternatively, you can take the bus going to NY (approx 35 mins due to the frequent passenger pickup's) from the bus station. The buses and the trains are fully air-conditioned so no need to worry about the summer heat. There are grocery stores few meters from the house where you could pick up groceries. I intend going back to NY (God willing) towards the end of the year and would definitely reside at Bozena's place. Would recommend for anyone wishing to have a quiet, neat, relaxed and centralized place.
Le recensioni degli altri alloggi del proprietario
Wir waren mit 5 Personen zwischen 57 und 67 Jahren dort und haben das Gesamte als Ferienwohnung gebucht. Zuerst möchte ich das Positive anführen. Zu Beginn war Bozena sehr freundlich und gab uns auch viele Tipps. Von den "weissen Bussen" nach Manhattan bis hin zu einem tollen Lokal, in dem wir fast jeden Abend zu Gast waren. Auch der Tipp nach North Bergen war eine Wucht.
Dann jedoch merkte sie, dass einige von rauchten - natürlich nur ausserhalb des Hauses, da wir daheim auch nicht in der Wohnung rauchen. Das hat ihr gar nicht gefallen. Uns hat nicht gefallen, und das hat unsere Bewertung geschmälert, das wir gar keine Ferienwohnung hatten, sondern nur eine Erlaubnis zur Mitbewohnung hatten. Die 3 Schlafzimmer hatten eine tolle Grösse. Das Badezimmer auf dieser Etage war von den Zimmern jedoch nur zu erreichen, in dem man durch andere Zimmer ging. Das zweite Badezimmer wurde auch von Bozena benutzt. In der Küche gab es einen sehr schönen Tisch, allerdings nur mit 4 Stühlen. Für den 5. Gast wurde ein Hocker gebracht. Der auf dem Foto ersichtliche Balkon durfte nicht benutzt werden. Der Backofen war dreckig, die Mikrowelle defekt und im Kühlschrank bekamen wir einen winzigen Bereich für unsere Frühstücksdinge zugewiesen. Wenn also die 3 Schlafzimmer gleichzeitig belegt werden, hat keiner einen Bereich für sich mit gleichzeitiger Badnutzung. Schade, denn ansonsten war die Lage sehr günstig und angenehm.
Een behulpzame host met heel veel handige tips. Vijf minuten van een snelle busverbinding ( 20 - 30 min) naar hartje New York De bus rijdt vaak. Ruime kamers. Onhandig is dat je via een andere slaapkamer naar de badkamer gaat.
Fantastic host, wonderful location and excellent room and facilities!
On first arrival Bozena greeted us and gave us excellent money saving and helpful tips about New York and the surrounding area - especially about the bus that costs little and gets you into the city quickly! The room was a great size and had an ensuite bathroom (with towels included). The spacious room was an ideal location and provided an excellent place to stay when coming to NYC! Would recommend highly!
I booked this room for my boyfriend and I weeks in advance for 2 nights for our short vacation in New York City. We drove in, spent the night, and I noticed the sign out front said "no parking from 10am-noon". So at 10am, I moved my car into the driveway, recalling that the listing for the room said there is driveway parking when available. I didn't want to bother the host and figured it would be fine there for 2 hours. I reasoned that if we needed to move it during those 2 hours, no big deal - someone would let us know.
Boy was I wrong - this apparently was a very huge deal. The host started yelling at us - "Did you park in the driveway?! Move it this instant!!!" My boyfriend and I were scared - we started scrambling around, looking for our socks. I finally found the socks with her yelling through our door again "Move it!! This is not how adults act!" That's the only insult I can remember off the top of my head. She ranted on, "There's no smoking either allowed in the room!" (We are 30 years old, and neither of us smoke.)
Now I'll admit, looking back, I should have asked if it was okay to park in the driveway, but the host acted extremely inappropriately and erratically. Why couldn't she just speak respectfully to us? Yelling and chastising is not hospitable, professional behavior.
Needless to say, we felt uncomfortable and unsafe, and snuck out immediately (afraid of another confrontation). Our trip was dampered by having to find last minute accommodations, and the whole experience was demoralizing. I have been an enthusiastic guest for similar sites as this for years, but I the experience may make me turn back to hotels.
I site and/or host would not issue a refund, which is poor guest protection from problems like this.
Wir hatten einen super tollen Aufenthalt bei Bozena! Sie gab uns tolle Tipps und was Sehenswert ist und wo man am besten shoppen geht. Wir würden sofort wieder bei ihr schlafen! :) Mit den "weißen" Bussen sind wir in wenigen Minuten mitten in Manhatten gewesen. Es war wirklich super!
Unterkunft genau wie auf den Fotos beschrieben! Schön hell und geräumig!
Ganz viele liebe Grüße an dich Bozena und vielen lieben Dank!
Jenny und Ben(ny) :)

ASX to share revenue with customersGareth Hutchens
Published: November 30 2012 - 3:00AM
THE Australian Securities Exchange will share half the extra revenue it makes next year from its trading, clearing, and settlement businesses in a bid to stop its customers jumping to rival Chi-X Australia.
ASX chief Elmer Funke Kupper this week sent a letter to customers explaining that he plans to run a new ''revenue sharing scheme'', to be introduced on January 1, for the next three to five years.
He said rising costs, increased regulation, and declining activity levels had created ''significant challenges'' for the industry, and that ''sharing growth'' with ASX customers had ''never been more important''.
It comes as the federal government considers opening the ASX's monopoly clearing service to competition, something to which the stock exchange has been opposed.
Under the ASX's plan, it will redistribute half of its revenue growth - above the level of revenue generated last financial year by its trading, clearing, settlement businesses - among its customers, proportionate to each customer's revenue contribution, in the form of an annual rebate.
Analysts said the scheme was an obvious reaction to competition, but that it was difficult to know how much it would cost the ASX.
''The broking industry overall is struggling at the moment, [and] this seems to be a way to alleviate some of the stress on brokers and have some smoothing impact on ASX's fees,'' Commonwealth Bank analyst Ross Curran said.
''But we think the competition that's emerging is the bigger picture. Regulated monopolies … that have been opened up to competition in the past have tended to not be particularly favourable places to be if you're a shareholder.''
It comes as the Australian Securities and Investments Commission released its first market assessment of Chi-X Australia, the only rival to the ASX, finding a raft of ''agreed actions for improvement or attention''.
The report found there were conflicts arising from Chi-X's independent non-executive director's role as chairman of E.L. & C Baillieu Stockbroking, as well as a problem with its hidden order threshold controls, and problems with its ''documentation and record-keeping''.
However, ASIC said that, while the agreed actions were important, they had not stopped Chi-X meeting its statutory obligations, and that Chi-X had agreed to fix any problems.
Since Chi-X Australia began operating in October last year it has been at the centre of the debate about ''market fragmentation'' and the growth of high-speed trading.
Chi-X says local investors have benefited from its arrival through lower fees and ''improved product offerings'', both a consequence of competition with the ASX.

Basilisk - Tuesday, April 02, 2013 - linkThe 900's draw 300watts and lack a fan. It's rear connectors block 25-30% of the exit-path, and, compounding that, the 900's fins appear to have a 1/4" gap to the back-plate, meaning a substantial part (25%?) of the exiting air will entirely by-pass the card. In contrast, the Nvidia GRID cards have no rear connectors to restrict air-flow, the cooling shroud connects fully to the rear plate so all exiting air passes through their card, and the K2 (top model AFAIK) only pulls 225watts. It just seems that's one heck of an over-pressure requirement for the 900's Server -- or a hellishly hot running temp for the 900. (Pardon my ignorance or these server boxes.) Reply

With astonishing candour, Sebastian Vettel admitted on Thursday night that his decision to overtake Mark Webber, his Red Bull teammate, for victory at the Malaysian Grand Prix had been an act of pure retribution. "After all that happened in the past few years, Mark didn't deserve to win," he said.
The triple world champion, underlining the irreparable feud between the pair, argued that Webber had failed to help him throughout their tense five-year partnership at Red Bull and was not entitled to the win at Sepang. "He didn't deserve it," Vettel said. "There is a conflict, because on the one hand, I am the kind of guy who respects team decisions and on the other, probably Mark is not the one who deserved it at the time."
Utterly unrepentant, Vettel argued that if he found himself in a position again to flout team orders at the Australian's expense, he would do so. "Had I understood the message, reflected on it, and thought about what the team wanted to do, I probably would have done the same," he said.
The 25-year-old's frictions with Webber had flared up frequently even before the incident in Malaysia, notably when he grew frustrated with his teammate for holding him up in last year's crucial final race in Brazil.
Here, ahead of Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix, Vettel indicated that his refusal to hold station behind Webber in Kuala Lumpur had been borne of revenge. Asked if he felt he had achieved "payback", he said: "You could say that, indirectly."
This was hardly the model of contrition we had witnessed in Malaysia, where Vettel had conceded his mistake and offered an unconditional apology to Webber. Under rigorous inquisition here, he argued that the pair's fractious past had led to the decision to pass Webber in a ferocious late-race duel.
"I never had support from his side," he said. "I respect him a lot as a racing driver, but there was more than one occasion in the past where he could have helped the team and he didn't." On the question of whether they still trusted each other, Vettel replied: "I wouldn't call it trust, to be honest. I think we have a professional relationship."
Vettel and his elder sidekick also had a memorable confrontation in Turkey in 2010, when they blamed each other for a crash that ended both their hopes of winning, and at Silverstone the following year, as Webber was told to stay behind but continued to attack.
This was a performance to illustrate where the true authority at Red Bull resided, as Vettel scoffed at any suggestion that he had been sanctioned for his disobedience. "There are a lot of marks on my back," he said, grinning broadly. "I did apologise [to the team] and I meant it."
Then, with all the attitude of one with three world titles at the age of 25, he added: "Sanction as in punishment? Maybe it is a bit of dreamland that you all live in. What do you expect to happen?"
The frosty tone of the exchanges had been set from the very first question, when Vettel was pressed on how it felt to be "the bad guy" after previously being portrayed as a paragon of virtue. "I don't consider myself to be the bad guy," he insisted. "I don't think I did something that was particularly bad."
Given such defiance, it was little wonder Helmut Marko, director of motorsport at Red Bull, had expressed his preference this week for a ban on team orders by the reigning constructors' champions.
Sanction as in punishment? Maybe it is a bit of dreamland that you all live in. What do you expect to happen?
Webber, making his first public comments since escaping the row with a surfing break back home in Australia, suggested that he was considering his future at Red Bull. "Come the summer, I will talk to Dietrich [Mateschitz, the Red Bull co-owner]," said the 36-year-old, now in the final year of his contract. "I haven't made any decision yet. I am keen to continue the season."
Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton suffered a health scare as he was forced to spend yesterday in his Shanghai hotel with symptoms of an allergy. The 2008 world champion missed his scheduled press engagements as Mercedes confirmed he was experiencing eye and nose problems. Hamilton had made an early visit to the circuit but returned to his city-centre hotel feeling unwell.
Hamilton was said by his team to require a period of rest ahead of Sunday's race. Shanghai has been affected by serious air pollution levels in recent weeks.

A urinary
catheter is a flexible plastic tube used to drain
urine from your bladder when you cannot urinate by yourself. A doctor will
place the catheter into the bladder by inserting it through the urethra, the
opening that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. When
the catheter is in the bladder, a small balloon is inflated to keep the
catheter in place. The catheter allows urine to drain from the bladder into a
bag that is usually attached to the thigh. Indwelling urinary catheters can be used in both men and women.
A catheter may be
needed because of certain medical conditions, such as an enlarged prostate, the
inability to control the release of urine, or after surgery on the pelvis or
urinary tract. Urinary catheters are also used when the lower part of the body
is paralyzed.
Always wash your hands before and
after handling your catheter. Follow all of the instructions your doctor has
given you. Also:
You will need to
empty the bag regularly, whenever it is half full, and at bedtime. If your
doctor has instructed you to measure the amount of urine, do so before you
empty the urine into the toilet.
If your doctor has given you
instructions about when to notify him or her, be sure to follow those
instructions. Call your doctor if:
After your catheter is
taken out:
Also, it is important to know when you are having a
problem and when to call your doctor. After catheter removal, call your doctor

The result is a haunting series of images that make the viewer ask who is this person? Why is he dressed like this? What does it mean to be locked up? And can we guess what a person's crime is just by looking at his portrait?
