Checkerboard Chances 2Probability puzzles require you to weigh all the possibilities and pick the most likely outcome.
Timothy has a four by four checkerboard. He uses scissors to cut out each square from the board. He then randomly arranges the pieces into four rows and four columns. What is the probability that this layout is in a checkerboard pattern?
AnswerThe first black piece can go in 16 different places since the checkerboard has an equal number of red and black squares (8 red and 8 black). The next piece however has only 7 different places it can go since one space is taken and it must be in a checkerboard pattern. The next piece has 6 different places it can go, and so on. Therefore, the number of ways the black pieces can be correctly put into the checkerboard is 16*7*6*5*4*3*2*1=16*7! (7! is 7*6*5*...*1). The first red piece has 8 different places it can be put. The next piece has seven. The next piece has six, and so on. The number of ways the red pieces can correctly be arranged is 8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1=8! (this is read 'eight factorial'). The total number of ways all the squares can be arranged (correctly or not) is 16! (16*15*14*...*1). The number of arrangements that form a checkerboard is 16*7!*8!. The probability that a checkerboard will be formed is 16*7!*8!/16!. Simplifying this fraction by canceling (a lot!) you get 1/6435 or about 0.01554%.

'"For his first practice, I thought Tim did well," Ruff said. "We'll let the coach decide. He needs to have a good practice tomorrow. We'll hope it just carries on and elevates it. He got involved in some physical stuff and tomorrow a little more. I would anticipate him progressing."'

Find information on the classes you'll need to take and general information about the curriculum.
First Year Students: You will learn how to ask good questions and how to explore them in different disciplines. You will start to think about what questions really interest you. Perhaps 'What makes a meaningful life?', 'What role should morality play in business and politics?', or 'How should humans treat the environment?' You will take the following courses (keep in mind that depending on your major, you may not be able to take all these courses in the first year):
Second Year Students: This is your year of exploring. In consultation with your Professors and Advisor you will decide on a question that you would like to pursue in your Integrative Studies. You'll also probably want to explore one or more Experiential Learning Pathway in this year. Here's what you'll take:
Third Year Students: This is your year of integration. After taking (or at the same time as) your third and last Integrative Studies course, you sign up for the Core Milestone Experience. Here you'll look at all the artifacts and reflections you archived in P@N--from your P-EQ and IS courses, and from your Experiential Learning. You'll sign up for:
Fourth Year Students: This is your year of application. If there are parts of the Core Curriculum that you still need to complete, you can do it now. But ideally, this is when you apply the skills and knowledge that you gained through the Core in your major area of study. Also, you may want to sign up for another Experiential Learning Pathway to see how what you have learned in the classroom can be applied to real world problems and issues.
Learn more about the Core curriculum, here.
Note: Transfer students will take a Core & Portfolio Workshop(CPW) (0 credits) in place of ACS 101.
Religious Studies
Social Science
Visual and Performing Arts
Note: One of these courses will be a a First Year Seminar.
Unsure of which core to follow? Find out here.
One of your Perspectives-Enduring Questions courses taken your first semester (you can request which one) will be a smaller seminar that includes strategies to develop speaking skills, extra focus on how the course fits into the larger structure of the core, and off-site activities to get to know your classmates and professor.
First-year students work together to build community, discuss the transition to college, and hone study and time-management skills. Learn more about ACS class.
You take two writing classes because crafting sound, persuasive arguments for different audiences is such a critical skill:
Some programs require two classes in the same foreign language. Studying a foreign language is recommended for all students to make you more marketable and skillful in our increasingly interconnected global world. You can even study a language in a place where it's the dominant language. All students are encouraged to study abroad.
You choose one course from each of eight liberal arts subject areas. Each course introduces you to the subject through exploring a perspectives enduring question.
Three upper-level courses of your choosing help you explore the question YOU want to explore. How do you pick your three "IS" courses? Find out more here.
Start to explore Faculty-created Integrative Studies cluster here.
A hands-on learning experience that allows you to apply what you're learning in your Integrative Studies and your major courses. There are seven pathways for Experiential Learning: course-based service learning; student leadership; internship; co-curricular service; study abroad; field work (student teaching, practica, clinicals); and Creative Activity, Research, & Scholarship.
Enjoy a wellness class such as yoga or compete on a sports team.
The seminar where you put it all together: You reflect on and integrate your learning, and you create a project to showcase your Integrative Studies to your classmates.
You create your own electronic portfolio to archive and compile your work in the core, to help you reflect and convey it to others. Learn more.

Mark Ellis wrote:I understand that each player may only absorb a small percent of what is taught. I am ok with that. It takes a base level of understanding and experience to follow some of the more advanced instruction. Let each player take away what they can. If everyone only gets a few things which help their game this is still a success.
Disc golfers are not going to take notes. If I passed out paper and pencils and threatened demerits they would not take notes.
Disc golfers are not going to read pass out materials. Ok, maybe 5% would. Maybe. They might watch a video a few times but video is much more consumer friendly. If I could make more videos I wouldn't spend my time on Clinics (except to publish them on video). The videos I have published so far have over 2 million hits. The Clinic I will teach this Saturday may get 30 to 50 players.
If I can't teach something clearly enough that disc golfers can follow it then the fault is mine.
Totally understandable. When I put on clinics/classes I often ask myself, "Why bother?" when I see people recycle them/throw them afterwards. But there are those few that do hang on and do use them that thank me for them. And they don't need to be huge elaborate notes. They could be just some key summaries based on your videos, few detail pictures and they can write their notes on that. Just an option to those who want that kind of detail.
Mark Ellis wrote:On Disc Selection:
Disc Selection is too personal to be taught to a group. Just because a Crush is the perfect hyzer disc for me at 300 feet means absolutely nothing to the group I am teaching, unless their throwing style and power level is the same as mine-which it ain't. Attending my Clinic are 10 year old kids who throw 100 feet and big. strong, athletic players who throw 500 feet but can't hit the forest in front of them.
Once I see a player throw a few shots and know what spot they want to fill in their bag I can hand him the disc to do it (and teach him the form to do it). This is a one on one thing, not a general topic.
Topics which are universal are good for clinics. Throwing form is universal. No matter your skill, experience or power you need to know the various ways to throw an anhyzer (for example). Throwing a Magnet is not universal. For any given disc there are some players who will love it and others who will hate it. Neither player is wrong. I am never going to put an Optimizer or an Extreme or an Epic or an 86 Mold in my bag but each is a disc which may work well, even brilliantly, for particular players.
It would take an audience of only Pros and top Tournament Ams before I would consider Disc Selection Issues. The risk/reward of Wide Rimmed Drivers would be fun for very good players.
I don't personally believe in learning discs in order of speed (start with putters and only throw them until you master them then move to mids then move to narrow rimmed drivers and only last start using high speed drivers), so I don't plan to teach that approach. It makes no sense to me and I know of no examples where it was effective. Others may teach it and more power to them. I don't even buy starting all beginners on light weight, flippy discs. Some beginners are strong athletes with good snap developed in other sports.
I agree with you that this is a one-on-one topic, but at the same time, certain aspects can easily be touched up on in a group setting. Plus my suggestions were under the assumption that you were targeting the 'true beginners'. People that don't understand physics, didn't really play sports, and relatively "uncoordinated".
When I first started playing DG after the first 2-3 weeks I could easily throw Leopard/Buzzz/Comet/etc... So one of my buddies let me use his Nuke SS and it just made me frustrated cause I felt like like I was stuck or I was weak, etc... But I didn't understand the discs 'make up'. Then he suggested I go to GGGT and talk to the guys there. I remember the first time I went into Gotta Go Gotta Throw, I was completely overwhelmed. Then I talked to one of the workers there and they gave me the 'low down' and kind of a progression based on where I was at. Not to mention there's quite a few people out there that play disc golf and don't really understand what the discs really are capable of. One of the guys I play DG with, when I first met him, almost any disc he had and threw, would just go straight and fade left, and he though that was it. Discs are our tools, we need to understand them to make the best use of them.
As an Athletic Trainer dealing with college injuries can get very frustrating cause they don't feel like they're improving. One way we help them over come this frustration is to build a program based on progression. It's a blast to see someone be able to jog again after an ACL tear, it's like the best day of their life, and they tell the world. When people struggle with something, they go to clinics/class/seek help to get better, but too many clinics don't 'paint the big picture'.

Now, with a stylish renovation under its belt, the Astor still wows with its stylish Maison d'Azur eatery. But that's only half the story. This hotel itself has 40 beautifully restored, restful guest rooms with comfortable beds and an upscale feel. While the views on offer are less than perfect, the rooms are quiet and its popular bar and courtyard easily add to the hotel's allure.

of blessed memory
My father Efraim Brandwein of blessed memory was a respected communal activist, who got along well with people in our city of Podhajce. He was an active Zionist, and participated in the Zionist institutions of the city. On occasion, he served as a mediator during various disputes, when the two sides preferred to accept his decision rather than presenting their case to arbitration or the rabbinical court.
He was an intelligent man, who knew how to find common language with members of the younger generation as well as those older than he. He earned his livelihood as an accounting director at a beer factory. On occasion, he also worked with his own hands in that company. Mother also did her share in supporting the family at the appropriate level by managing a small grocery store. The sisters also attempted to increase the family income by giving lessons and doing any other job that came their way.
The atmosphere in the home was warm and pleasant. This was especially felt during the Sabbath and festival evening meals, which were filled with joy and exalted spirits. Every event in Jewish life in the Land of Israel or the Diaspora had an appropriate echo in the family discussions around the table. The link was thereby forged, and the feeling of a common lot with all the members of our nation, wherever they were found, intensified.
Their fate was the fate of all the natives of their city. Woe over those who were lost and who will never be forgotten.
May their memories be blessed.

May the memory of my dear, pure, martyred family, men, women, and children, be brought to the fore. They were murdered, killed, and slaughtered in sanctification of the Divine name by the impure Hitlerist Nazis and their accomplices, may their names be blotted out, and especially by the murderous Bendera gang, may its name be blotted out.
I will remember my father Avraham the son of Shlomo-Zalman of blessed memory, and my righteous mother Chava the daughter of Mordechai and Freda of blessed memory (nee Heiden), who died a natural death in their homes and on their beds, and were brought to eternal rest in the Podhajce cemetery, next to the graves of their parents and family members.
I will remember my brother Tzvi Walden of blessed memory, who perished in one of the death camps, and his family members who were slaughtered in one of the large-scale massacres in Podhajce.
I will remember my brother Yaakov (Koba) of blessed memory who was murdered by the Bendera gangs, may their names be blotted out, and his family members who were murdered in the large-scale aktion.
I will remember my sister Shoshana of blessed memory, who died of hunger in the ghetto during the era of atrocities.
Thus did all of the members of my family perish and die. They were all people of toil and work, who lived modest lives, and whose prime desire was to help their fellow. They were murdered through no fault of their own, only because they were members of the downtrodden and persecuted Jewish people. Only I myself survived of all this wide branched family as the final scion of a branch that was cut off from the tree of life.
I bow my head in their memory, and I will not forget them until my soul ends.
May their memories be blessed, and may their souls be bound in the bonds of eternal life.
Shlomo the son of Avraham and Chava Walden.

Mordechai and Feiga Lehrer
of blessed memory in the year 1922
We were a large, jolly family. Father was a wheat merchant. He also ran a grocery store, in which Mother assisted. Mother was an exemplary housewife. In addition to all of her business, she found time for social action, for offering assistance and support to the needy.
Our house was the center of this wide branched family. Mother was a native of the town of Gnilobody, and was very connected to the members of her family who were spread out in all the villages and towns of the region.
All family members knew that in our house, they would find proper counsel and advice that was appropriate as a solution to their problems. Every family event, whether happy or sad, was brought first and foremost to the adjudication table of our family. Therefore, our home was always bustling with a large number of visitors uncles, aunts, cousins, and other relatives. Our family had the name of a beloved and united family.
The first breech in the unity of our family took place in May 1926, when I moved to live in Krakow after my wedding. Later, my sister Aliza (Freida) left the home and made aliya to the Land. During my first visit to our home after my marriage, my mother uttered a broken hearted sigh over the two empty seats at the table, and asked sadly: How were you able to leave the home?
Father died suddenly in 1932, and my family and I made aliya to the Land in 1934. However, the house was not emptied, and it bustled with life as always. My two eldest sisters got married and lived in our family home. The two families gave birth to children, and Mother had satisfaction from her grandchildren.
When I came to bid farewell to my family before I made aliya in 1934, I did not imagine that I would be taking leave of them forever, and would never see them again. Our last greeting arrived to us in the form of a postcard from my brother-in-law Yehoshua Landman. He wrote that their situation was good. They were all alive, but that the situation of Mordechai Lehrer was better than any of them From this I understood how bitter and terrible was their fate, if they were jealous of our dead father
May their memories be blessed, and may their souls be bound in the bonds of eternal life.
Yafa Shulwolf, nee Lehrer
Dr. Arnold Landau was the son of Immanuel Landau, the publisher of the first Hebrew newspaper in Tarnopol. His mother was Berta of the Rozmarin family, a progressive family who owned the lease of the Nowosiulki estate in the region of Podhajce.
Dr. Landau was born in 1868. He concluded his course of studies in medicine at a school in Krakow in 1891. That year, he settled in Podhajce, where he worked as a doctor for 50 years. He was an expert diagnostician and a faithful physician for the residents of the city, four generation of whom enjoyed his dedication medical service.
The honor, medical ethic, fulfilling of his promises and complete fulfillment of his duties these were the main trait of his life. Through his strong connection with Judaism, he was very familiar with the Jewish mentality. Every tragic event that took place with the ill people whom he tended caused him personal suffering. During the era of the First World War, when he was a military physician in the hospital for communicable diseases, he greatly assisted the Jews, with personal sacrifice. Those people coronated him with a title of love and honor our father.
In his daily personal life, he went along his usual path: upright, faithful to those who depended on him, pursuing peace, and distancing himself from any feeling
[Page 272]
of jealousy or hatred. He was modest, and never looked for greatness or personal benefit. He was a devoted and dedicated father to his three children, and dedicated most of his free time to them. His wife was from the Bernstein family, the daughter of a well known banker and estate owner from Warsaw, who was a scion of the family of the Gaon of Vilna.
He died in Lvov in 1941 as a result of a heart attack, at the time that the German troops were taking their first steps in the outskirts of the city. He left behind a son named Edmund, who was the manager of the large machine factory in Przemysl, a daughter named Halina who was married to the engineer Zigler, a daughter named Janina who is married to the pharmacist Hesheles, and three grandchildren. Of three generations, only the writer of these lines, Janina Hesheles, survived. I live today in Jerusalem along with my husband the pharmacist Hesheles.
Janina Hersheles
I remember the pleasant spring days in our town, which were days of great interest and joy. The people of the town would be working at their respective jobs and tasks and the entire town bustled with life. A textile shop appears before my eyes on one of the streets, and behind the counter, the eyes of my parents of blessed memory are smiling at me.
A splendid beard adorned the face of my father Reb Avraham. Many charitable deeds were concealed within him. He was busy with his livelihood from morning until night without rest, and even at times without a meal however he never forgot the times of prayer a time when nothing else was more important. Then, he would leave his business and commune with his Creator for several minutes. Synagogue affairs were as important to him as his own affairs. He concerned himself primarily with the cleanliness, heating and light of the synagogue, and anything that was for the comfort of the worshippers.
With longing and yearning I recall the Sabbath eves and Sabbath days in our city and our home. It was as if the entire world desisted from its normal course and went out to greet the Sabbath Queen. The house took on a new look, and it was as if its residents were born anew in order to greet this day. Everything was cleaned and polished in the house, and everyone wore festive clothes. Mother of blessed memory even wore a sheitel[1] in order to greet this day that is honored above all days. The Sabbath candles that were lit twinkled and spread their light in all corners of the house, and added a unique sparkle in the eyes of its residents.
Father returned from the synagogue, and to our joy, he always brought a guest for the Sabbath meal. The table, covered with a white tablecloth, was spread with tasty Sabbath delicacies that were prepared tastefully by Mother of blessed memory. Men wearing streimels[2] were hurrying to and from the synagogue, with the joy of the Sabbath and the extra soul[3] beamed from their eyes.
Thus did life go for generation after generation a life of Torah and Divine service, of days of festivity and days of mourning until the Days of Awe came, the days of the Second World War and the Nazi conquest, that destroyed and eradicated this entire life off the face of the earth within a few days.
Many tragedies occur to a person during the time of his life, and he succeeds in overcoming them. However a tragedy such as this, the spilling of clean blood in such great proportions cannot be forgotten or silenced for the life of the entire generation.
All the members of my family fell prey to the cruelty of the Nazis and their accomplices, and only I alone remained alive a lone scion of an entire family. With a grieving heart, I hereby recall my dear ones, whose pure blood cannot be weighed in gold:
My father Avraham of blessed memory and my mother Itta of the Kornbaum family.
My brother Berl of blessed memory and my sister Sala of blessed memory.
May their souls be bound in the bonds of life, Amen and Amen!

Marketing Information
Application infrastructure, like the network, is distributed and diverse. Traditional network monitoring solutions that provide connectivity and resource availability metrics are no longer suffcient to fully understand the factors that affect consistent application performance to users. When application performance degrades, network engineers need tools that can be quickly and economically deployed to provide full visibility to all events on key aggregation point(s) so that an assessment can be made to where the impact was felt, and isolate to the fault domain quickly: server, network or client. Furthermore, network engineers need to support application developers and system administrators by providing the evidence to resolve the problem. The Network Time Machine answers these needs by providing instant high-level visibility of which applications and users are affected, plus detailed fow and packet level analysis.

text: Any hope left for WVU? By Dave Hickman February 19, 2013 Story Share AP Photo After colliding with Kansas State's Will Spradling (on floor) Monday night, West Virginia's Eron Harris was whistled for a personal foul and a technical foul. MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - No one needs to point out to Bob Huggins the difficulties his West Virginia basketball team has endured this season at the hands of the better teams in the Big 12 Conference.In fact, when it was redundantly pointed out to him once again in the context of a question Monday night, the Mountaineer coach had a ready retort."We're due then, aren't we?'' Huggins asked.Well, yes. Overdue, in fact.But after West Virginia was pretty much manhandled by Kansas State Monday night in Manhattan, Kan. - the final score was a not-awful 71-61, but that was thanks to a meaningless 10-0 run by WVU to end the game - it begged the question of whether the Mountaineers would ever get over that hump.If they can't on at least a few occasions during the next five games and the Big 12 tournament that follows, it will be the end not only of the season, but of the program's nine-year run of postseason berths.Already it seems that, barring an unlikely run to finish the regular season and/or a Big 12 tournament championship, a sixth straight NCAA tournament appearance for West Virginia (13-13, 6-7 Big 12) is out the window. Just don't tell that to Huggins, whose job it is to keep alive those hopes until the bitter end."I don't know,'' Huggins said. "I don't know that it's ever over. Who knows? We may make a run and win the Big 12 tournament.''Or the Mountaineers might not. Most of the smart money is likely on the latter, given that Monday's loss was the seventh in as many games for West Virginia against the six teams ranked above it in the Big 12 standings. Against the three teams below WVU, the Mountaineers are 6-0, but that's of little consequence now considering that all five remaining games are against the top end of the conference. That begins Saturday with the first of back-to-back home games, a 2 p.m. contest against Oklahoma State at the Coliseum. It's yet another opportunity for WVU to show that it is more than just the best of the worst teams in the league, although Huggins maintains that his team has gone a ways toward proving that a few times already."We had chances. Let's be honest,'' Huggins said. "We could have beaten Kansas State at home. We didn't, but we could have. The Oklahoma game, if we don't have all those breakdowns and rebound the ball, we have a chance. The problem is we have chances and we don't do it. We don't take advantage of them. That's the problem.''Monday at Kansas State the Mountaineers really didn't have many chances, not after falling into early foul trouble with their two best scorers, Deniz Kilicli and Eron Harris, and digging an 18-4 hole. In truth, West Virginia didn't actually play all that poorly (five fewer turnovers and seven fewer fouls than K-State, along with 52.6 percent shooting in the second half), but in a stop-and-start game dominated by whistles, there were precious few spots in which to make a run.One opportunity did present itself after Huggins got a technical in the second half and the Mountaineers cut a 21-point deficit to 14, but a few minutes later, with the gap still 14, Harris got a technical of his own and fouled out after colliding with Will Spradling near midcourt.Harris was so upset with his game - zero points and just two shots in only eight foul-plagued minutes - that he spent part of the second half sitting on the bench sobbing, which was not lost on ESPN and its Big Monday cameras. Kilicli, who overcame his foul trouble to score 16 points, said that was probably the last of his team's chances to make the game competitive, although he said it was hard to fault Harris."That's how he plays. He flops,'' Kilicli said of Spradling, a guard with an eight-point average who scored a career-high 19, including four free throws after the Harris foul and technical when the margin was still 14. "I'm not saying that in a negative way. He does a good job of it."But that was four points they didn't even have to work for. We just gave it to them. And that killed us. We never recovered.''Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at Twitter.com/dphickman1.

LAS VEGAS >>Warriors big man Marreese Speights has spent the offseason running on a treadmill in which only the power generated by his footsteps will turn the belt.
Speights said Monday his motivation for beginning his offseason conditioning program earlier was to come into training camp in better shape than he did last season after signing a three-year, $11 million contract.
"Because I feel like last year I started off bad," Speights said after meeting with new coach Steve Kerr and visiting the Warriors' summer league team. "I didn't like the taste in my mouth. I feel like I ended the season good, and I'm going to take the momentum to next season."
The 6-foot-10, 255-pound Speights averaged 6.4 points and 3.7 rebounds in 12.4 minutes per game last season, for a time falling out of coach Mark Jackson's rotation.
Kerr said Speights looked good and envisioned the 26-year-old as a reserve center who would back up Andrew Bogut and perhaps be used over Festus Ezeli against smaller teams without a dominant big man.
Speights, after hoisting up a career-high 31 3-point attempts and making less than 26 percent of them, said he could be both a stretch center and forward, but was first focusing on getting into better shape.
"Last year, I really started (offseason conditioning) late," Speights said. "That was my fault, so I feel like this summer I just know every day I can do a little something to keep me in game shape. I feel pretty good, but I still can improve more.
"I ain't really worried about basketball-wise. I'm just worried about conditioning, for real."
Said Kerr: "We're going to need him to back up that center spot so he'll be a factor for us, but he's got to come to camp in great shape."
• David Lee withdrew from the USA national team training camp roster that was announced Monday while recovering from "very minor" surgery a few weeks ago to address a core muscle injury, according to the Warriors.
The Warriors expect Lee to be fully recovered in early August, but according to the team, he does not want to a rush his return to the floor.
"He's fine," Kerr said, adding Lee had been working out.
Lee, 31, underwent a surgery for the third consecutive offseason. He had procedures to repair a torn right hip flexor in 2013 and torn abdominal and abductor muscles in 2012.
Lee, who averaged 18.2 points and 9.3 rebounds last season, joined teammate Andre Iguodala (knee tendinitis) in missing the USA Basketball training camp due to injury.
The Warriors are the only team with more than one player on the national team roster participating in the July 28-Aug. 1 training camp at UNLV, with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson among the 19 players expected to compete for spots on the Americans' FIBA World Cup team.
• The Warriors currently can afford to sign free agents from minimum contracts due to salary cap constraints and are interested in bringing back Brandon Rush, who tore an ACL while with the team in 2012.
Rush, who played in 38 games for Utah last season, is scheduled to work out for the Warriors and other teams interested in signing him.

But for two parents whose role as teachers of their four children will finally end when daughter Hannah completes high school next year, home schooling's primary attraction was not physical protection but spiritual and academic enrichment.
"We all have a world view, and if you're in a public school it creeps in. We wanted a good education with a biblical world view," said Jim Snyder, president of the 500-family Fort Wayne Area Home Schools, which proclaims not only its belief in the triune God but also in the inerrancy of the Bible, "the foundation upon which all education should be based."
"Before we were married I asked, 'Are you OK with downhill skiing and home schooling?' She thought I was nuts," said Snyder, whose power of persuasion is illustrated by the fact that wife Denise edits the association's monthly newsletter and has served as her children's primary teacher for 19 years. Both say they've never regretted the decision, just as both say they do not feel vindicated by what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
"It was a tragedy, but (vindication) never entered my mind," Jim Snyder said.
The Snyders' religious motivations hardly make them unique among home-schooling parents. The Department of Education reports that a desire to provide religious or moral instruction is the reason most often given for the decision to home school (36 percent of students), followed by a concern for safety and related issues (21 percent) and dissatisfaction with academics (17 percent).
The Snyders are typical in another regard: Two-parent homes account for 89 percent of home schoolers, and for obvious reasons: If one parent is teaching, it helps to have another paying the bills. So Denise calls on her academic background as a registered nurse while Jim operates hospital heart-lung machines. And if they weren't always happy with their teacher, the experience has nevertheless brought the family closer together, the Snyders agreed.
Not that it hasn't been hard work.
"I've learned every day with the kids," said Denise, who had to learn enough about a variety of subjects to stay one step ahead. The Internet has been a blessing in that regard, with a variety of instruction programs available for home schools.
What's more, the Snyders said, family familiarity helped them instruct each child in the most effective way. "We have to plan (what and how to teach) every year. Some children lean by sight, others hearing, others tactilely," Jim Snyder said. When possible, home schools work with public schools, each other and others to provide social and extra-curricular opportunities. The Snyders also administer standardized tests – tests advocates say regularly favor home-schooled students over their public-school counterparts.
With its Bible-centered focus, the Fort Wayne Area Home Schools group obviously isn't right for everyone – and the Snyders say many local home schools are not members for a variety of reasons. But for this one family, it seems to have been a good choice.
One son owns a business and the other is working. Oldest daughter Abigail teaches literature at Carroll High School and Hannah hopes to teach in an overseas mission field one day.
Hannahs not sure what she wants to do with her life yet, but she is satisfied she hasn't missed out on anything. "I think (home schooling) has been pretty normal. I'd recommend it," she said.
Abigail, who said home schooling allowed her to study early and work part time when others her age would have been in school, had praise for Carroll High School, but also appreciates her parents' efforts on her behalf.
I've always been a little skeptical about home schools' ability to prepare students for life in the real world, where they'll be confronted by all sorts of ideas good and bad.
But the Snyders seem well adjusted, well educated and content with their choices. So who am I to quibble?
Still, Jim Snyder was perhaps closer to the truth than he realized when he said that success in school is all about parental involvement. Home-school parents are involved, obviously, but so are many parents of successful public- and parochial-school students.
In other words, the best way to improve education is to get more good parents involved. The perception that involved parents and respect for faith are a rarity in too many public schools may be driving the home-based alternative as much as anything – including guns in the hands of lunatics.

The Government is likely to stick with the troubled Novopay payroll system, but warned today that the next pay cycle could bring the worst problems yet.
Steven Joyce made his first public appearance to discuss the system since Prime Minister John Key took responsibility away from Education Minister Hekia Parata in last week's Cabinet reshuffle.
Mr Joyce wouldn't rule out pulling the plug on the Novopay contract with Talent2 but said further announcements would be made this week after he'd met key stakeholders.
"My sense is that we're probably more likely to stay with it at this point but I want to explore all the options and I haven't had the opportunity to do that yet."
Mr Joyce has said there will be an inquiry into Novopay eventually, but the current focus is on making sure people are paid.
He indicated schools should brace themselves for the worst. The next pay period was expected to be the system's toughest test with changes to pay rates as a result of the new secondary school teachers collective agreement.
"The last three pays have been quieter because of the school holiday period, the big challenge is getting through the next pay cycle on February 6, and playing catch-up," said Mr Joyce.
"It's like trying to change the tyre on the car when you're driving along the motorway at 100km/h."
Mr Joyce was speaking after meeting principals and staff from Wellington Girls' College and Northland Primary School in Wellington today.
College principal Julia Davidson said Mr Joyce met two staff involved with administering the system.
"I approached him because I thought possibly he was seeing it from an individual case, but I think it's important he sees what is happening in a school and the [amount] of time that my staff are having to take to do this."
Northland principal Jeremy Edwards said many of his staff had been overpaid by up to several thousand dollars.
Staff were waiting for letters claiming to claim the money they were overpaid back.
"The process is taking a very long, long time," said Mr Edwards.
Post Primary Teachers Association president Robin Duff said he hoped problems wouldn't occur as a result of the new collective agreement.
"When Talent2 tendered for the contract they surely would have known there would be pay increases," said Mr Duff.
Labour acting education spokesman Chris Hipkins said it was a cop-out to say schools had to prepare themselves for more problems.
"Steven Joyce needs to put a contingency plan in place urgently so that if Novopay still isn't delivering in two months' time he can kick it to touch," said Mr Hipkins.
New Zealand First education spokeswoman Tracy Martin said the warning would be cold comfort for thousands of school employees who have been struggling with Novopay for months and it was time ministers were accountable.
"Education Minister Hekia Parata signed off on the system, which came with no back-up plan, on the advice of her associate Craig Foss who has somehow managed to keep his place in Cabinet.
"It's been a litany of monumental errors for the Government, yet Mr Joyce insists on persevering with what is clearly a nightmare for the education sector."

Spring Training a family affair for Kubel, Tonkin
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- It was a family affair when Twins reliever Michael Tonkin toed the rubber against Jason Kubel in live batting practice on Sunday.
Tonkin, 24, is the brother-in-law of Kubel, who is seven years older than him and married to Tonkin's sister. So Tonkin, who is competing to make the club as a reliever, said it was fun facing Kubel for the first time with his full arsenal of pitches.
"It was the first time I've really thrown to him," Tonkin said. "I threw to him live in high school like once. And this offseason I kind of lobbed some balls for him in the cage, but that's it. So this was the first time I've really gone on a mound and I've thrown more than 50-60 percent in a long time."
Tonkin, who is one of the club's most promising relief prospects and posted a 0.79 ERA in 11 1/3 innings with the Twins last year, said that Kubel swung at two of his pitches with mixed results.
"The second pitch to him, he swung through it, and the other one he hit a fly ball to left field pretty deep that was kind of a high fly ball," Tonkin said. "It was pretty close to the warning track."
But Tonkin joked that the deep fly ball would've been an out in a game situation, even though Kubel hit it well.
"I think it would've been caught," Tonkin said with a smile. "That's what I'm saying."

It's really over.
Elisabeth Moss filed divorce papers in Los Angeles Monday to end her brief marriage to Fred Armisen, Entertainment Tonight confirms.
The Mad Men actress, 28, wed the Saturday Night Live performer, 43, last October.
According to court documents, the couple have been separated since late June.
"They had issues," one insider told Us Weekly of the short-lived pair. One of those issues? Moss's ties to the Church of Scientology.
"Her religion was as important to her as their marriage, if not more," another pal told Us. "He could not get with it."
Armisen isn't brooding on his own. After their separation, he connected with SNL costar Abby Elliot, 23. "Fred sought comfort in her after the split," another source says, adding that Moss is "fine" with his new relationship.
"They are both moving on."

|Days of our Lives Guy Wilson: playing Will is a dream come true
The day Guy Wilson stepped in to play Will Horton, a beloved gay character on Days of our Lives, it was a day that his dream came true. "Oh without a doubt. I remember driving in and pulling into the lot. I kept thinking this is cool!" Wilson said. "Then when I got on the soundstage with the cameras and the lights started going on, I was like getting a little nervous. It was all surreal."
Did he have reason to be nervous? Of course! Not only is Will a coveted role to the show, but the part was previously played by Chandler Massey, who has won two Emmy Awards portraying Will. But for Wilson it is a job going to work. Massey left this past August to go back to college.

Black and white
1.)When in bright condition
The black and white colour is detected by cone or rod?
My book said"Rod is for black and white vision"
I have done a HKCEE mc(30/99)
It said:
"When you are reading through a page , only a few words can be seen clearly each time.This is because
only a few words can be focused onto the yellow spot each time."
There is just cone on the yellow spot and the words on the book is usually black in colour.........................................
The black and white colour is detected by cone or rod?
2.) What kind of eye disease will be caused if our lens is not elastic?
Th for answering me so many questions~><
RODS are more sensitive to light than are cones, and rods are particularly important for night vision. The outer segment of rods is an elongate cylinder of cytoplasm. Within this is column of discs which are flattened membrane bubbles whose contents are technically extracellular. These hollow wafers are produced continuously from the basal portion of the outer segment, forming as projections of cytoplasm that serially fuse to form the discs. These mature discs are not connected at all to the plasma membrane.
CONES operate at higher light intensities and are the main receptor of "daylight" vision, since rods saturate at very low light levels and essentially cease to function. All color distinction is due to cone function, based on the existance of three subtypes of cones sensitive to three distinct light wavelengths. Rods respond only to one narrow band of light frequency, and rod-only retinas are entirely colorblind. Cones have a much shorter outer segment than do rods, and the developing membranous processes that in rods fuse into the disc series--remains unfused in the rods. This gives these cells the appearance of bearing a kind of comb on their outer segment, but keep in mind that in 3-D, that is really a series of plates joined at the ciliary end.
This occurs in old people. As you get older, it is harder and harder to see things close to you. Punctum proxim moves from 7 to 80 centimeters away from the eye. The condition is called presbyopia

I use an H1 tag and gilder-levin image replacement to construct my header.
But that means I have to put the title of each page into the header if I want to have only one H1 tag per page.
And then I don't know what H tag I should put in the title in my body copy? H2?
But that is what the viewer sees as the title.
So the search engines will see this

Interesting new fishing lures

Interesting new fishing lures

blah, blah blah ...

This looks strange.
It's not really clear what you are saying here. Use the H1 for your visitors and the search engines. There is not difference. Are you talking about the <title> element in the head of your document?
I am referring to the header of the web page (within ) not the the title tag within
I use an H1 with image replacement to show the logo of the company etc. in the header.
But in the body copy where I also put the title visible to the reader I surround that with H2 tags.

Interesting new fishing lures
 <---- This is the graphic header
Interesting new fishing lures
 <---- This is a text in the body copy
blah, blah blah ...

Is this right?
I was looking at my wordpress sites and they use H2 tags for page and post titles. So I suppose I use the same title with H1 tags and they h2 tags just so there is only one H1 tag per page.
Are they both within the same div? You can set the H1 to work differently with different divs by parenting the CSS. Such as:
Etc. If this isn't what you're talking about, please try to give us a bit more info
O, I see. You are using the H1 in the wrong place. Use it for the overall title of the page content. The logo is just decoration, so just wrap it in a div, or perhaps a paragraph (though that's not really the role of a paragraph either). Search engines look at the content of a page to decide what it's about, and the main header is a very important factor in this. Wasting your H1 on every page for a decorative logo is losing you a lot of ground.
Remember that the H1 signals to the reader (and Google) what the page is about.
Attached is the document structure for css-tricks and they are using a second H1 tag instead of a H2 tag for the title.
Doesn't men it's a good idea, though. That site is using HTML5, which has a slightly different document structure (where multiple H1s make more sense) but the full meaning of that document structre is not properly recognized in the 'wild' yet. There is no point in using a heading element for decoration.
Is css-tricks some sort of authority on the subject?
Not an authority; just a popular site that demonstrate some cool things you can do on the web. But plenty of what's there can be argued about.
It is extremely rare a page ever needs more than one H1 and if you find you are using one per page the odds are you have done something wrong. Also is you are duplicating the logo text with the another main first copy heading then the odds are you also might want to reconsider what you are doing with the page contents and think more deeply.

Getting through a week without controversy can be difficult for Ndamukong Suh.
Voted the NFL's dirtiest player for the second straight year in a recent Sporting News player poll, Suh denied he celebrated Sunday after an opponent suffered a concussion. Colts players alleged Suh and other Lions were laughing and pointing at Winston Justice, who was knocked down by Suh on a block following an interception.
Suh said he was celebrating with teammates, and didn't know Winston was down.
"Since Sunday there's been tremendous accusations, a lot of things said about me and the particular play that happened between me and Winston Justice," said Suh, via the Detroit News. "I am the type of person that would never celebrate someone being injured. I was celebrating my team playing well.
"The film never lies. I know there are a million cameras around me. I am not going to do anything to jeopardize myself or my team, particularly my team.
"I would like to say, though, if (Justice) did receive a concussion, I hope he heals up fast, and can get back on the field."
This has been a long season for the Lions (4-8), and for Suh, who was fined $30,000 in Week 12 for kicking Texans quarterback Matt Schaub. Suh said the kick was not intentional, and has grown tired of defending himself.
"I feel bad that it's even something I had to deal with, but it is what it is," Suh said. "I've been an easy target for negative things."
Judging by the way Suh's peers perceive him, that is unlikely to change.

SOCHI, Russia – The U.S. men's hockey team has flown across nine time zones to continue a long-standing feud with their neighbor.
The Americans (4-0) moved into the Olympic semifinals for a meeting with Canada (4-0) after downing the Czech Republic 5-2 in the quarterfinals Wednesday.
"We are in a foreign land, and we traveled 5,000 miles to play each other and we share a long border," said U.S. forward David Backes. "But the great thing about this tournament is that in order to win it, you have to beat great competition."
With the win, the Americans are guaranteed to either be in the bronze medal game or the gold medal game. The semifinal against Canada (noon ET) is a rematch of the 2010 gold medal game won by Canada.
"From the start, people have bought into how we were going to play," said U.S. forward James van Riemsdyk. "And when you have that, it's a lot easier to be consistent. "
Van Riemsdyk, Dustin Brown, Backes, Zach Parise and Phil Kessel all scored for the Americans, who have outscored the opposition 20-6 in the tournament.
Coming into the Olympics, the big question about the Americans was whether they would score enough goals. The management team opted to leave off some big scorers, such as Bobby Ryan and Kyle Okposo, in order to fill the roster with tenacious, speedier players.
"We are playing fast," said USA captain Zach Parise. "We are scoring off the rush and on the power play. The way they tried to design this team, because of the (wider) Olympic rink, was to have a lot of speed and that has really been to our advantage."
Defenseman Ryan Suter had three assists against the Czechs, and defensemen Ryan McDonagh and Kevin Shattenkirk also picked up assists.
"Our transition game has been very good, and our D are mobile and moving the puck really well," Parise said.
Suter played three minutes more than any of the other U.S. defenseman, and he could end up playing closer to 30 minutes against Canada.
"He can control games with how well he plays and with the outlet passes he makes," Parise said.
Suter always draws the assignments against top forwards.
"With Ryan, it always seems so effortless because of the way he skates and the plays he makes," Parise said.
The Americans' offense will be tested against the Canadians, who have given up three goals in four games.
The big question is whether the Americans are scoring so much because they haven't faced a good defense and whether Canada is so stingy because it hasn't come across a top offense.
That will be answered on Friday.
"We know we will have our hands full," Parise said.

Don't expect the New York Jets to trade cornerback Darrelle Revis to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers anytime soon. With the two teams not seeing eye to eye on compensation, Pro Football Talk reports the Bucs are "close to moving on" from the deal.
According to PFT, the Bucs' offer is a first-round pick in 2014. The Jets, however, would like the pot to be sweetened with more immediate help—Tampa Bay's first-rounder in 2013 (13th overall).
The Jets don't have the leverage in this situation. It's no secret they don't want to re-sign Revis—he is scheduled to be a free agent next offseason—and want to get something now rather than nothing a year from now. His contract forbids them from placing the franchise tag on him.
The Tampa Bay Times isn't closing the door on the deal, but the newspaper reports it may not happen for several more weeks, closer to the end of April draft than the current March NFL meetings. Given the Buccaneers are one team not worried about the fact Revis is coming off a major knee injury still makes them a strong possible trade partner for the Jets.
The Bucs do have a veteran contingency plan at cornerback, per PFT. They, along with the Miami Dolphins, are interested in signing Atlanta Falcons free agent Brent Grimes.
Meanwhile, Jets coach Rex Ryan talked about the Revis rumors Tuesday at the league meetings in Phoenix. Although Ryan said the Jets are not actively pursuing a trade of Revis, he sounded prepared to enter the 2013 season without his star cornerback.
Ryan said it's not a foregone conclusion the Jets will deal Revis, who is unhappy with his contract. But Ryan acknowledges any team will listen if another club calls about acquiring any player.
"I'll coach who's here," Ryan said. "On opening day we'll see who that is."
Revis missed most of last season with a left knee injury, but when healthy is considered the best cornerback in the league. He earned a $1 million roster bonus on Saturday.
Ryan didn't say if he expects Revis to be a member of the Jets this season. Revis' contract will cost the Jets $6 million overall if he remains on the roster. In addition to the bonus he got last week, he has two more $1 million bonuses due before preseason begins. His base salary is $3 million.
"I always want all of our players on our team, and sometimes that happens and sometimes it doesn't," Ryan said. "It doesn't always happen, I've learned that. I always have a loyalty to our guys I've coached.
"When the first trade thing came up, I connected it to someone that clearly made it up; there was no factual basis. On the first day John Idzik is named general manager and he doesn't even know where his office is, we're trying to trade Darrelle?
"This is all speculation like it's a foregone conclusion. I don't believe it. With that, I am not naive enough to understand several people would be interest in a player like Darrelle Revis."
Revis wants to be among the highest-paid players in the league and his current deal doesn't place him at the top for his position.
Revis has never said he wants to leave New York. And the Jets have found the market for him might not yield the kind of compensation package in draft picks they feel he is worth.

The Nobel Prize for Medicine/Physiology was awarded to Elizabeth Blackburn, Carol Greider and Jack Szostak for the discovery of how chromosomes are protected by telomeres and the enzyme telomerase.
Telomeres are small DNA sequences that cap the ends of much larger DNA strands. Elizabeth Blackburn and Jack Szostak performed research on these telomeres in the early 80s showing that these telomeres were responsible for protecting chromosomes from degradation* during cell division. Later research performed by Elizabeth Blackburn and Carol Grider led to the discovery of the enzyme telomerase, which is responsible for forming these telomeres.
These discoveries are important for a number of reasons. Shortening of these telomeres causes cell aging* and high telomerase activity is linked to the propagation and long life of cancer cells*. Additionally, some inherited diseases, such as aplastic anemia*, have been linked to telomerase defects. It can be seen that the studies of telomeres and the telomerase enzymes is extremely important and the contribution of these scientists is indeed significant.

The Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded to Charles Kao, William Boyle and George Smith for groundbreaking achievements concerning the transmission of light in fibers for optical communication and the invention of an imaging semiconductor circuit--the CCD sensor.
Charles Kao began research on light transmission through glass fibers in the mid-60s. At this time light transmission through these fibers was extremely poor. Dr. Kao proposed that the key to increasing light transmission was increasing the chemical purity of the glass through the use of fused silica and quartz. The desired optical fibers were finally produced in the early 70s. This allowed for the development of fiber optic technology* used today for data and light transmission. Currently, fiber optics form the basis for the world's communication network with over 600,000 miles of fiber optic cable run throughout the world.
In 1969 William Boyle and George Smith began developing an idea for a memory device based on the photoelectric effect*. What they eventually invented was the charge-coupled device (CCD)*. This device allowed for light to be transfered to an electric signal, which can then be converted to digital information. This led directly to the creation of the digital camera and a large amount of other useful devices. The technology is used extensively in the field of astronomy and was even used on the Hubble space telescope.

The Nobel Prize for Chemistry was awarded to Venkatraman Ramakrishan, Thomas Steitz and Ada Yonath for studies of the structure and function of the ribosome.
Ribosomes* in cells are responsible for the synthesis of proteins using messenger RNA as a guide. In the late 70s Ada Yonath began her quest to determine the atomic structure of a ribosome using X-ray crystallography* (made possible by the use of a CCD sensor). However, for X-ray crystallography to work successfully, near perfect crystals must be formed. Ada Yonath accomplished this in the early 1990s after almost 20 years of research. Even after this more information needed to be obtained before the structure could be determined. This key information was obtained by Thomas Stietz using electron microscopy*. In the summer of 2000 Venkatraman Ramakrishan, Thomas Steitz and Ada Yonath were able to completely map out the atomic structure of a ribosome.
This atomic structure is essential to learning how ribosomes function. Specifically, scientists are using this information to determine how ribosomes so efficiently synthesize proteins without error. Additionally, many antibiotics target the ribosomes of bacteria to stop the spread of these bacteria. By determining the structure of the targeted ribosomes scientists can better design new antibiotics that will be more effective.

Angels' streak snapped by A's at five games
Weaver's rough sixth inning, poor baserunning prove costly
ANAHEIM -- The Angels pulled out a 14-inning thriller on Tuesday night and Mike Scioscia called his team "fortunate," because they committed several key baserunning mistakes that ultimately didn't cost them a game.
Turns out the Angels' manager was onto something.
The very next night, a couple of outs on the bases -- Collin Cowgill getting doubled off at second base and Albert Pujols getting thrown out at third -- changed the momentum early and the Angels never got it back in a 7-1 loss, which snapped a season-high five-game winning streak and spoiled any hopes of sweeping the first-place A's.
The Angels -- 36-29, and off Thursday before starting a seven-game road trip through Atlanta and Cleveland -- still won five of six on the homestand and are only 3 1/2 games back of the A's in the American League West.
"We played great baseball this homestand," Jered Weaver said after giving up four runs in 5 1/3 innings and getting saddled with the loss. "It would've been nice to take three from these guys, like they took from us at their place, but pretty satisfied with taking two of three from them. We played good baseball, and we just had one get away from us tonight."
It got away from them, mostly, because of more baserunning mistakes.
The Angels now lead the Majors with 28 outs on the bases. And at least nine of them have come within their last four games against the A's, with six taking place over the course of this three-game series.
"It's going to go in cycles," Scioscia said. "Sometimes, it seems like you run into some in bunches, and sometimes you create some things on the bases. But we're going to stay aggressive and hopefully get the good reads. We lost some guys on the bases in this series."
Scioscia didn't believe poor baserunning ultimately cost the Angels a victory in the series finale, but it certainly didn't help matters.
Cowgill -- one night removed from a walk-off homer -- led off the third with a double against A's lefty Tommy Milone, primed to score the tying run with the top of the order almost up, then immediately broke on a sinking liner off the bat of No. 9 hitter John McDonald and got doubled off when second baseman Eric Sogard made a sprawling catch.
"It's a tough read, man," Cowgill said. "He's trying his hardest to get me over there. That's his job. It's just unfortunate. It was low, and I guess I just took a chance. In my head I said, 'Go.' So I went, and he made a good play."
Pujols, who ran through the stop sign of third-base coach Gary DiSarcina in Tuesday's sixth inning and was easily thrown out by A's right fielder Brandon Moss, hit a one-out double down the left-field line in the sixth in the finale, tried to take third when it ricocheted past left fielder Yoenis Cespedes and was thrown out on another missile from the A's outfielder.
"A perfect throw," Pujols said. "You have to continue to play the game. Obviously he made a good throw. A little to the side, I would've been safe and it would've been a different ballgame."
Instead, it was Cespedes' fourth outfield assist against the Angels this season -- and his AL-leading ninth on the year -- after throwing out two runners at home in the second inning in Oakland on May 31 and tossing a 300-foot strike to nail Howie Kendrick at home in Tuesday's eighth inning.
Said Milone, who twirled 6 2/3 innings of one-run ball to outduel Weaver and get the win: "I think he's starting to [mishandle balls] on purpose, trying to bait runners to get that extra base."
Pujols had two hits on Wednesday, but is still batting .195 over his last 32 games and .145 with runners in scoring position. And Scioscia believes his struggles at the plate are spilling into trying to force the issue on the basepaths.
"I do believe that Albert is trying to create some things because I know nobody feels it worse than Albert when he's not swinging the bat the way he can and contributing to the team," the Angels' manager said. "I do think, on the bases at times, he's trying to help us in any way he can. At times he's created some stuff, and at times he's run into outs. But he's playing hard, he's playing aggressive, and that's what our team is about."
The Angels' only run came on Josh Hamilton's RBI double in the fourth, and Weaver's biggest mistake took place in the top of the sixth, when his 2-2 fastball to A's catcher Stephen Vogt sailed up and in instead of low and away, leading to the two-run homer that gave the A's a 4-1 lead and forced Weaver out of the game.
The Angels had the tying run at the plate in the eighth against Luke Gregerson, but Hamilton flied out, C.J. Cron struck out and the A's scored three runs in the next half-inning to pull away and salvage a victory in this three-game series.
They would've loved to sweep the best team in the AL, but they'll settle for a 5-1 homestand -- and hope to clean up the mental mistakes moving forward.
"Going 5-1, you can't complain about that," Trout said. "We won the series. That's always big. We're going to keep our heads up. It's one game. We have an off day tomorrow. Turn the page, and try to take Game 1 in Atlanta."

Lincecum settles in after rough start vs. Rox
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Asked about his collaboration on Sunday with catcher Buster Posey, Tim Lincecum replied, "There were no issues between us, at all, once again."
That was a joking reference to the alleged feud between the two-time National League Cy Young Award winner and the NL's reigning Most Valuable Player.
Obviously, Lincecum was at ease. He had every reason to feel content after facing the Colorado Rockies, whom he limited to two runs and three hits in four innings, as the Giants rallied in the ninth for a 9-7 win in a Cactus League clash at Scottsdale Stadium.
Both runs that Lincecum surrendered were in the first inning. He settled down to retire eight of the last nine hitters he faced.
"The first couple of innings were a little rough," Lincecum said. "I didn't really have rhythm. As I threw more pitches, I kind of gained that rhythm over the last couple of innings. Things started coming out of my hand a little bit better and where I wanted."
Manager Bruce Bochy liked what he saw from the two-time Cy Young Award winner, who's bent on reversing last year's 10-15 finish.
"He's aggressive," Bochy said. "He's going after the hitters well and I like where he's at right now."
Lincecum threw 68 pitches, including 37 strikes, and expects to be ready for his first regular-season start on April 3 at Los Angeles.
"I see the progression toward getting there," Lincecum said. "My arm strength is going up."

I've said it before and I'll say it again: God bless the Dutch.
Okay, I haven't said it before, but I'm saying it now. Because these mad scientists, who singlehandedly made windmills and funny wooden shoes cool, are responsible for the most delicious cookie-like substances known to man.
Speculoos is a type of gingersnap, only way better. Its spicing is more liberal and intense, with a crisp snap that's an almost refreshing companion to sultry cinnamon, anise, cardamom, and pepper. On its own, it's a charming Christmas treat, and maybe a lesser people would have stopped there. But not the Dutch. They went ahead and turned it into a spreadable paste not unlike nutella, gorgeously smooth, sweet, and spicy. Speculoos spread, also known as Biscoff spread (I don't know, ask the British), just happens to be the most perfect thing to ever spread on toast. Or, for a meta treat, on more cookies.
Enter stroopwafel, a street food snack of two cinnamon-laced yeasted waffle cookies sandwiching a layer of buttery syrup called stroop. You eat them straight or warm them over a mug of steaming coffee till the cookies soften and the stroop melts. If you have yet to try stroopwafel, here is my advice to you. Find a chair to collapse in, and make sure your present company won't mind the gasps of pleasure as you bite into one of these cinnamon-laced butter and caramel bombs.
The mental leap to combining these Dutch delights into ice cream was any easy one. Step aside, Nutella: speculoos ice cream has you beat, perfect on its own or as a crown for warm pie. The little shards of stroopwafel are a punchy bonus, firm enough to keep your teeth busy while your tastebuds rewire themselves for a new addiction. It's the best bite of autumn I've had all season.
Or it was. Until I did this.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - What came first, bad shooting or bad rebounding?
The Clippers were terrible in both categories in losses to the Memphis Grizzlies in Games 3 and 4, the result being the series returns to Los Angeles tied 2-2 and reduced to a best-of-three.
The good news is the Clippers own home-court advantage and will play two of the three games at Staples Center, should it go that far. The bad news is, if they don't get their shooting and rebounding in order they're in big trouble.
Saturday's Game 4 loss was a continuation of the problems from Game 3 as the Grizzlies out-rebounded the Clippers 45-28.
It also didn't help the Clippers made just 32 of 78 shots.
"If you look at the stats, sometimes stats don't say everything," Clippers forward Lamar Odom said. "They out-rebounded us but we missed (shots).
"It goes like that sometimes."
The Clippers are going nowhere if they can't get Memphis big men Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol under control, the two post players combining for 22 rebounds and 48 points.
It's easy to point a finger at Clippers big men DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin, but slowing down Randolph and Gasol is a team effort.
"It's top to bottom. Those are two big, talented big guys and we have to do a better job helping our bigs get them off the glass and if our bigs are boxing out them out we have to come in as guards and rebound," Clippers forward Matt Barnes said. "Including myself."
Starting minutes slide
Jordan, Caron Butler and Chauncey Billups were starters in name only as all three played fewer than 19 minutes.
They played their way onto the bench by combining for two points on 1-of-13 shooting and, in Jordan's case, getting out-worked on the glass.
"Caron missing shots he usually makes, never really got into the flow of the game," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said. "Chauncey the same thing. DJ (Jordan) had the one put-back or one drop-off on the jump hook but you know rebounding and the physicality of the game. They just had off games. That's part of it. We've got to regroup. I thought our bench came out in the second quarter, got us back into it. They did a very good job.
"We were right in there in the third quarter. We had that stretch in the fourth where we just couldn't control them well enough. They made a run and we didn't have a good answer to it. That's what happened, so the series is tied up. We got to go back and obviously do a better job in a few areas that are key in this series."
Good spot
As bad as the Clippers played Saturday, they trailed by just four points heading into the fourth quarter. But that quickly fell apart as the Grizzlies outscored them 33-16.
The Clippers were kicking themselves later.
"Tough, it was tough. We definitely had a game to win down four going into the fourth quarter on the road and to lose like that, it is tough," Clippers guard Chris Paul said. "I didn't want to come back here by any means, by any means. Now we have to. It is what it is. You move on and get ready to play Game 5."
