AN INSPIRED goalkeeping display from Darren Chitty and a goal from on-loan striker Mark Francis handed Frome Town a stunning victory at the league leaders.
Hemel's 100 per cent home record was shattered as Frome followed up their first win at home for 10 months in midweek with an against-the-odds triumph.
With the pitch very heavy and just about playable following a pre-match inspection, not surprisingly, Frome started with the same line-up that had done so well against Banbury and Jon Vance returned to the subs bench following a couple of weeks lay-off due to injury.
Hemel started the match kicking up the slope and looked very dangerous in the fourth minute as Lewis Toomey broke clean through only to be denied by a superbly timed tackle from Rhys Baggridge.
Shane Blackett shot over the crossbar for the hosts and then Frome looked dangerous as Francis produced a perfect ball to Ben Wood that resulted in a dangerous cross that forced a corner.
Chitty made his first save on 19 minutes to save a stooping header from David Pearce, then Baggridge just managed to get his head to an inswinging Wood free kick, but at full stretch, the effort went wide.
Frome looked like they were really relishing the challenge now, and on the half hour, a Francis shot clipped the outside of the post after good work from Wood.
All the good work threatened to evaporate as a Hemel attack saw Mark Cooper head off his own line, Matt Cowler fouled in the area but then Chitty produced a stunning save to deny Ben Mackey from the penalty spot, with the rebound header hitting the bar.
Francis shot agonisingly wide of the far post in the 37th minute after being set up by Miller, then, on the stroke of half time, Chitty produced a point blank svae to deny Mackey, though the home striker looked suspiciously offside.
With the scoreline 0-0 at half time, it was all to play for, and Frome took the lead in the 49th minute as Matt Smith set Francis free in the corner. The striker stepped inside, beat a defender and coolly shot home at the near post for the loan striker's second goal in two games.
Matt Smith went close with a shot in the 56th minute after Josh Ford and Ricky Hulbert had combined to set up the shooting chance, but then Hemel's Tom Berwick should have done better as he volleyed wide across the face of the goal.
As the match progressed, it became a lesson on defending in depth as Hemel pressed for the equaliser and the pitch started to cut up badly. Jack Vallis was unlucky as an outstanding block span to Berwick who again missed the target, and Chitty really showed his class in the 88th minute as produced an outstanding save to tip David King's header over the bar.
After Kris MIller had headed the corner off the line, Chitty produced another top class save to push the ball away while at full stretch.
As the clock ticked down, Frome must have been mindful of the equaliser that Hemel had scored in the 93rd minute in the game at Frome, but Chitty made the save of the match in the 94th minute to deny Berwick and produce the Southern League result of the day.
On a week to remember for new management team Adrian Foster and Paul Thorpe. Darren Chitty was awarded the H&B Tyres Man of the Man Award.

A TRIO of crooks have been jailed for a total of 14 years after admitting a string of burglaries at schools across Essex and Suffolk.
Christopher Kerr, 26, Liam Cook, 26, and Francis Wilding, 22, all entered guilty pleas to charges of conspiracy to commit burglary with intent to steal.
Kerr, of Halstead Road, Frinton, and Wilding, of Melton Close, Clacton, were both handed prison terms of five years and four months.
Cook, of Bushell Way, Frinton, was sentenced to three years and four months in jail.
Laptops and computer equipment were stolen from primary and secondary schools across Essex and Suffolk between August 2012 and May 2013.
Speaking after sentencing, Det Insp Nick Power said the crooks had caused "considerable disruption" to schools.
"Over a nine-month period, virtually every other day we would receive a report of another break in at a school either overnight or at weekends," he said.
"The trio had no regard to how this was affecting people or the disruption it caused."

New seaport opens in Moroccan city of Dakhela
A new seaport was recently opened by Morocco's Prime Minister Abdul-Rahman Al-Yusufi, in the southwestern city of Dakhela, reported Al-Watan. The construction of the new seaport was carried out by a Romanian company at the cost of $22 million.
The port's total construction costs amounted to 475 million Moroccan dirhams ($42 million). The European Union contributed a portion of the funds, within the framework of the Euro-Mediterranean Program. The Moroccan Port Authority financed the rest, which took up most of its investments budget for the fiscal year 2000/2001.
One of the port's functions will be fishing, with an estimated catch of some 100,000 tons during the first year, and rising to 200,000 tons for the following year. An industrial estate, which will specialize in fish breeding, freezing, packaging and re-exporting, has been constructed alongside the new port.
In 2000, port traffic grew by five percent compared to the previous year, amounting to 55.5 million tons. An estimated 60.4 million tons of cargo are expected to past through Morocco's various ports in 2001. — (Mena Report)

Detailed Description:
The MAPT PLUS study is a follow-up of subjects initially included in an interventional study. The follow-up that we propose in this request for funding does not involve any intervention, but aims to assess the long-term effect of the interventions previously carried out during the three years of the MAPT study.
* Description of the interventions to which subjects are exposed during the first 3 years of follow-up (MAPT study) :
In the MAPT study, subjects are randomized into 4 groups:
- V0137 CA group: 2 soft capsules of V0137 CA once a day (2 x 400 mg/day);
- Multi-domain intervention group (nutrition, physical activity, cognitive stimulation, social activities) + placebo, 2 soft capsules once a day ;
- Multi-domain intervention group (nutrition, physical activity, cognitive stimulation, social activities) + V0137 CA, 2 soft capsules once a day ;
- Placebo group: 2 soft capsules of placebo once a day. * Description of the multidomain intervention : The multi-domain intervention consists of collective training sessions and a yearly personalized preventive consultation which aims to detect risk factors (sensory disturbances, difficulty in walking, nutritional disturbances, vascular risk factors) and to set up management in collaboration with the general practitioner.
The collective sessions take place in groups of 6 to 8 subjects. In the first month, two sessions a week are scheduled, and in the second month, one session a week. The first two months correspond to the intensive programme. Each session comprises 1 hour of cognitive training, 45 minutes of information on physical activity and 15 minutes of dietary advice. From the third month, sessions are held monthly and aim to consolidate the key messages and to stimulate adherence to the programme. The sessions are shorter (1 hour review of one of the domains of the intensive programme). " Booster " sessions (2 hours) are delivered at 12 and 24 months after the first sessions of the intensive programme. Twenty-minute individual interviews also take place every 6 months with the leader of the training sessions (6 interviews in the course of 3 years).

The Baked Potato Pizza at Pete Zaaz (covered here on Slice), a quirky Crown Heights pizzeria that has recently garnered much well-deserved attention, just might be the perfect solution to your Saint Paddy's Day pizza needs. The pie adopts everything you love about a loaded baked potato: cheddar, scallions, bacon, and crème fraîche. For the potato component, Pete Zaaz pizza-makers Pete Entner (No. 7) and Glen Hudson (Pulino's) top the pie with purple potatoes cooked in cream, which get gratinéed under a sheath of cheddar on the pizza itself, making this pie both beautiful and outrageously crave-worthy.
Pete and Glen recently took the baked potato pie off the Pete Zaaz menu, and replaced it with a pierogi pie that uses similar ingredients. If you missed the baked potato pie the first time around, don't fret—you can make it for yourself at home. Follow the slideshow to find out how.
What You'll Need (for one pizza)
- 1 dough portion
- 1 purple potato
- Shredded white cheddar
- Crème fraîche
- Heavy cream
- Thick-cut applewood smoked bacon, cut into lardons
- Scallions (use only the green part of the scallion, thinly sliced on the bias)
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt

There's no denying Santa Fe is an art town. National Endowment for the Arts pegged us in its 2008 study as the city with the second-highest percentage of artists in the labor force, and the University of New Mexico's Bureau of Business and Economic Research estimates art industries account for 39 percent of our annual economic inflow.
Anecdotally, how many Santa Feans do you know who don't at least dabblebroadly speaking, from architects to actors to authorsin art? By that measure, nearly everyone in Santa Fe is an artist (or government worker), and judging from the lengths we go to continually promote that fact, we want everyone to know it. Not only do we make art, sell art and buy art, we also think about art, talk about art and write about art (write about writing about art!), thus allotting theoretical space in addition to the wallsand floors and ceilingsof our approximately 225 galleries.
Then there's our sweet-ass swath of annual art events, which give locals and visitors alike opportunities to see the many types of art the City Different offers. Whether you like santos or squash blossoms, sopranos or surprises, the summer art events in Santa Fe can furnish your fancy. We've provided an insider's overview of just a sampling of this summer's cultural events to make the many options more manageable.
(Additionally, each of these destinations has a lot more to offer event-wise than we were able to list below, so be sure to check out their websites for the full rundown.) Get out of the weeds and into the art!
Santa Fe Opera
July 1-Aug. 27
301 Opera Drive, 986-5900
Estimated attendance: 75,000-80,000 in a season
Highlight: Fancy tailgate parties at sunset. Replace beer and brats with aperitifs and aioli artichokes, and you get the idea.
Hazard: The elements. The high desert is cold at night, even in the middle of July. You might want to bring a parka or even a winter coat to supplement your fancy duds.
How to explain it to Grandma: Remember the operas you'd make me watch as a kid? There are those, but this time a monitor translates for me. Oh, and some are even new and in English.
North of town, the Santa Fe Opera rises from the hill like a New Age wet dream. But the opera company itself purposefully toes the line between new and old. People come from all over the country, SFO spokeswoman Joyce Idema says, to watch contemporary and classic operas play out on an unusual stage, in an opera house whose sides are open to the elements and whose backdrop is the northern New Mexico horizon of tangerine sands and cleaved mountaintops. New York musician John Crosby came to New Mexico as a boy because of his asthma and stayed on to found the opera in 1956. He wanted to create an "adventuresome opera company," Idema saysone that incorporated "new and unusual works" and contemporary commissions. Now in its 55th seasonand its third structure, built by Richard Polsheck in 1998SFO hosts, as usual, five productions per summer. This year, three productions are new to SFO's repertory: Faust, The Last Savage and Griselda. SFR's resident performing arts critic John Stege recommends Griselda, a rarely performed and thus largely unknown opera by Antonio Vivaldi, for its "gorgeous and vocally demanding music." The cast, Stege adds, "mingles international stars and relative newcomers, and with Peter Sellars directing, the pot (and plot) should be boiling away."

Snider gets day off as he deals with hamstring injury
DENVER -- Pedro Alvarez's left knee injury was well-documented, but as it turns out, the Pirates were actually down two players for Friday's 8-1 loss to the Rockies.
Manager Clint Hurdle revealed Saturday that outfielder Travis Snider has been dealing with a hamstring injury since Tuesday and wasn't even available to run off the bench Friday.
Hurdle said the injury occurred when Snider attempted to lay out for the double that ended left-hander Francisco Liriano's no-hit bid in the fifth inning of Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Dodgers. Snider ended up finishing out that game, but the injury apparently worsened during the Pirates off-day Thursday.
Snider was out of the starting lineup Saturday, but Hurdle said he's made enough progress to be available off the bench.
"We were a little concerned with him yesterday, but I think he's in a better place," Hurdle said.
In 86 games this season, Snider has hit .252 (41-of-163) with five home runs, 17 RBIs and 18 runs scored.

AIC316 and Letermovir (AIC246) have successfully completed double-blinded, placebo-controlled phase II dose-ranging trials, meeting the primary and secondary study endpoints with excellent and dose-proportional efficacy and a good safety profile. Both compounds can be administered orally once daily for prophylaxis and suppression of the virus. The long halflife of AIC316, in addition, likely allows dosing only one pill per herpes episode.
AIC316 and Letermovir are non-nucleosidic drugs and act via a novel mode of action targeting viral enzymes different from polymerases: AIC316 is an inhibitor of the viral helicase-primase of Herpes simplex 1 and -2 virus, while Letermovir inhibits the viral terminase of HCMV. Based on these novel modes of action the compounds offer significant benefits over existing polymerase-inhibitors:
- AIC316 does not need to be activated inside the cell by a viral enzyme and thus protects uninfected cells from infection. In addition, the very long halflife of the compound allows to protect uninfected cells over extended periods of time, in contrast to the nucleoside analogues in the market. These features result in fast onset of action and powerful suppression of viral shedding.
- Letermovir, by addressing a target at a critical step of the virus life cycle, exhibits a very steep dose-response curve and is able to suppress high viral loads. This has led to highly significant suppression of HCMV in the phase II trial, when the drug was given prophylactically. In addition, as the target of Letermovir does not exist in the human body there is no target-related toxicity as is seen with the marketed nucleoside analogues and the drug has a very good safety profile.
"Given the fact that there has been no innovation in the treatment of Herpes or Human Cytomegalovirus for years, we are extremely proud of having created two very innovative drugs, which are in preparation for phase III and which hopefully will make a major difference for patients suffering from these viral infections and disease conditions. Based on their novel modes of action they will also be active against viruses which have acquired resistance against the marketed drugs", says Prof. Helga Rübsamen-Schaeff, CEO at AiCuris.
Regarding AIC316 AiCuris' project leader Dr. Alexander Birkmann adds: "The benefit of strongly suppressed viral shedding combined with protection of uninfected cells, may even reduce the viral burden in Herpes patients treated long term or repeatedly over time and may reduce the frequency and severity of outbreaks, which is not achievable by present drugs."
About HSV
Herpes simplex viruses (HSV) are widespread in the human population (seroprevalence up to 100%, depending on geographic area and population), and are divided into herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2). While HSV-1 predominantly causes oral lesions (cold sores), HSV-2 manifests in the genital region and is mainly transmitted sexualy. However, the past decade has seen an increase in HSV-1 genital infections, which now account for at least half of first episodes of genital herpes in some countries. Both, oral and genital herpes are generally self-limiting but can recur frequently. HSV infections have also been associated with a three-fold increase in the risk of sexually acquired HIV. In immunocompromised persons, large and painful ulcerations may result, and newborns infected with HSV are at risk of dying or suffering permanent disabilities from the infection. Currently available therapies share the same mode of action and are similar in their efficacy, whilst also exhibiting possible cross-resistance. Unlike most of the current herpes drugs, which inhibit a specific viral enzyme, the DNA polymerase, AIC316 acts by a separate and unique mechanism of viral inhibition and hence is also active against resistant viruses.
About Human Cytomegalo Virus (HCMV)
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a beta herpes virus, represents an important pathogen for immune compromised individuals. It is the most common virus pathogen in bone marrow and solid organ (kidney, heart, liver, lung and pancreas) transplant recipients. HCMV is the major cause of morbidity and mortality during the first six months after transplantation.
HCMV disease is characterised by fever, leucopenia (very low white blood cells) and thrombocytopenia (very low platelet numbers) with or without specific organ dysfunction. Two main strategies to prevent HCMV disease have been adopted: anti-HCMV drug prophylaxis or pre-emptive treatment of transplant recipients who are at risk or have evidence of HCMV infection upon screening.
Besides transplant recipients, newborn children are highly threatened by HCMV infections. The infection can be acquired before, during or after birth and can lead to severe neurological damage or death. Because of the side effects of presently available drugs against HCMV, it is nearly impossible to treat these children. Neither can pregnant women with an active HCMV infection be treated.
Patients with AIDS might suffer from HCMV infection or disease, once HIV has caused severe immune deficiency. In these patients, the virus might affect various organs and may e.g. lead to blindness or life threatening pneumonia. Thanks to HAART, AIDS cases with HCMV disease have become rare in the Western world. But in countries where access to anti-HIV therapy is not freely available such HCMV infections are more common.
Increasing evidence is accumulating that even subclinical HCMV replication may be harmful, as HCMV is a virus, which is immune-suppressive on its own. For HIV-infected individuals several recent investigations showed that even when HIV is well-suppressed by HAART, the patients may not be able to control HCMV very well and may, as a consequence, suffer from a chronic and deleterious inflammation.
Similarly, HCMV also appears to pose a risk to patients under intensive care (e.g. after heart attack, suspected sepsis or burn). In this patient group, an active HCMV infection was found to be associated with increased time of hospitalisation and increased risk of death. Furthermore, in patients being treated for an auto-immune disease by the administration of immuno-suppressive agents, it has been observed that an opportunistic HCMV infection may occur.

Even with the move to a larger venue for Wednesday's 5 p.m. board meeting at Mendocino College, the new location was soon filled to capacity. Board of trustees president Joel Clark opened the meeting with the pledge, a few members spoke up in appreciation of classes being offered on the coast and the next one and a half hours were dedicated to community input on the sale of the Point Arena Field Station.
The potential sale of the field station property, 15.2 acres, with its lab and buildings, has been under discussion by faculty and other district constituent group members since 2011.
Rich Burns, Ukiah BLM field manager, acknowledged that deciding whether or not to sell the station is a difficult decision throwing in his support for resource conservation and his appreciation for having had the opportunity to work with Professor Alan West.
Billie Smith remembers when the college took possession of the former Coast Guard Station and implored the board not to make a hasty decision based solely on finances. "We have formed a Friends of Point Arena Field Station group to create a solution, to help defray costs of repairs; I hope desperately that you will give us the time to make the plan work. Even though it will be sold to a land trust, the idea of us being able to do classes and research there is ridiculous if the area becomes open to the public allowing them to walk through the tide pools and destroy the ecosystem."
Jared Carter, lawyer, began with a jest that he and Barry Vogel would be working on the same side. "In all the years I've lived here, we've been on the same side twice; we're a hell of a team." In addressing board members he said, "Everybody wants to support the college, is sensitive to the budgetary issues and wants to help constructively solve this. Here is a public resource and you have a trust duty to protect these public resources; they are not protected if the public can walk through tide pools and truck through sensitive areas. We want to work with you, protect the resource, your interests and come up with a solution that works for everybody."
Bob Long former faculty member was part of the original group of five that drafted the proposal to buy the property. "Unless we have a facility, a classroom on site, you can't teach and stay there. Students learn best when they can touch, see, hear and, yes, taste. We have an ecological staircase out there, sinkholes; it's a national treasure that we should not consider disposing of, just for some money."
Professor of biology Alan West took a new tact. "The facility has been in terrible disrepair limiting our ability to charge outside groups what it's worth. The college has never fully committed to doing what it needed to do to take care of this property for our students and for our paying customers. We've never given it a real chance to succeed. We took it on as good stewards for educational purposes and we have let it deteriorate. We need a dedicated, unified effort to help the field station. This is in the spirit of what we agreed to do 32 years ago and what the tax payers supported in passing Measure W. Don't sell the property; give us 5 years to seek and obtain outside funding to fix the station and create a business model to generate money."
Geraldine Rose spoke as a marine biology student having had the opportunity to utilize the facility on the coast. "It's pristine, absolutely perfect. It would be a huge mistake to allow the public on that land."
Barry Vogel, lawyer, spoke of the conversation he and a few others recently had with President Arturo Reyes. "The wonderful thing you (Reyes) told us was there would be transparency so we can know what's going on with this gem. You said an ad hoc committee has formed to review the range of options in terms of what could be a final agreement with BLM. I asked if we could have those options in writing so we can talk about them as a community. You felt this wasn't the right time to bring them out for discussion. I found that concerning.
"Yesterday you said that if all goes smoothly the sale could close by the end of the year. That's just 5 ? months. What are the options? What are the terms? You said BLM wants more assurance that there will be a sale. From whom? From the board? Close the book on this, keep the property in the name of the college and move on with how we're going to educate the community with what's already there."
Ruth Valenzuela, field representative for Wes Chesbro, said Chesbro has concerns about the sale to BLM without public process, that the community has a stake in this decision, that both the trustees and community at large need as much information as possible to make this decision.
Markley Bavinger from the Trust for Public Land, a non-profit, said BLM is a good land steward and is committed to the Point Arena field station, to having it be incorporated into the National Coastal Monument. "They will put up signage, fences, put out information. I encourage a dialogue with the college and BLM; lets do the work to protect this property. Consider long-term stewardship; consider permanent endowment. Right now, in the next year, if the college sells to BLM, the money is there for the purchase and for the possibility of it becoming a part of the Coastal Monument. After this year, that money will most likely not be there. Everybody is here with the same intention, to celebrate and protect this piece of land."
There will be two more community forums at the college, one to be held on July 30 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Library Learning Resource Center Building and the second on August 28 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. at the same location. Further discussion will take place at the next board meeting at the college on August 6 at 5 p.m. where the 11 options will be presented for discussion.
The Ukiah Daily Journal obtained a copy of the summary of the 11 options for the Mendocino College Point Arena Field Station that was developed by an ad hoc group of college, faculty, staff and administrators.
1. Keep the status quo
2. Keep and upgrade facilities
3. Conservation Easement
4. Sell to BLM and have no future user agreement
5. Sell to BLM, remove buildings and enter into a long-term user agreement
6. Sell to BLM, retain lab building and enter into long-term user agreement
7. Sell to BLM, retain lab building and 1 house and enter into long-term user agreement
8. Sell to BLM, retain buildings and enter into long-term user agreement
9. Sell or partner with other educational institutions
10.Postpone sale
11. Sell to BLM and look for alternate coastal locations

Daytona International Speedway kicked off the 2012 racing season with the 46th running of its 24-hour endurance race. Five new Corvette Daytona Prototypes (DP) were entered in this grueling, around-the-clock marathon. They qualified second, fourth, sixth, and seventh in a field of 12. Several Corvettes led the race but experienced small problems that kept them from the win. The No. 10 SunTrust Corvette had a water-pump failure and was out in the first hour. The No. 5 Action Express Corvette DP finished Fifth, three laps behind the winner. The Spirit of Daytona entry finished Eighth after experiencing an axle failure halfway through the race. The second Action Express entry ended up Ninth after repairs had to be made when the car collided with a slower GT entry. The No. 99 Gainsco Corvette finished 33rd after experiencing a radiator failure subsequent to contacting the wall.

There's a moment when you interview a celebrity when they ask for your indulgence. "Do you mind if I smoke?" is common. "Do you mind if we do this in the bathroom?" is unique to Will Ferrell. The professional actor and comedian stars in this weekend's drama/comedy Everything Must Go, based on the Raymond Carver short story Why Don't You Dance, about a man who loses his job, his wife, his house, his car and his bank account over the course of one particularly bad day and has to sell all of his other possessions in a yard sale to get by. We sat down with Mr. Ferrell – in the bedroom, thank you very much – to discuss the unusual film, his acting style, and his roles in such diverse projects as The Office, Anchorman 2, The Beastie Boys' Fight for Your Right Revisited, Melinda & Melinda (really) and learn what his dream project really is.
Crave Online: How long have you been at this today?
Will Ferrell: …Eight?
Crave Online: Oh geez. [Editor's Note: It is now 5pm.] Is this your favorite part of the job?
Will Ferrell: (Whispers intensely) – This is my favorite part…
Crave Online: Oh god…
Will Ferrell: No, no, no, this is… I like the long form interview.
Crave Online: Me too.
Will Ferrell: So much more than the five minute TV…
Crave Online: Oh I hate that. All they want is something like, "Oh, did you ever have a garage sale?"
Will Ferrell: Yeah.
Crave Online: Let's talk about the movie. Were you a Raymond Carver fan before this?
Will Ferrell: I had no idea who he was.
Crave Online: Oh thank god, neither did I! I knew about Short Cuts, but I've never seen it. I'm so embarrassed.
Will Ferrell: Right! That was based on some of his work too. But no, I didn't know anything about him and I just read Dan (Rush)'s script. Then when I doubled back and read the short story that he based it on, it made me love the script even more. Because I think he really captured kind of the stark quality of Carver's work, and all the kind of unspoken…
Crave Online: I was actually surprised by how stark the film was. You hear the concept and you can't tell if this is going to be a family thing, maybe a little Capra-esque, and it's so melancholic. I was kind of shocked.
Will Ferrell: It's funny, I've talked about the movie in the short, kind of two-line pitch and people start laughing.
Crave Online: It sounds funny.
Will Ferrell: And I'm like, "Well…"
Crave Online: No, you might want to kill yourself by the end of this film! I was talking to a few people after the screening, and we weren't entirely confident that you weren't going to kill yourself.
Will Ferrell: That's what I love.
Crave Online: You've done a couple of other non-conventional movies, but you tend to focus on the more… I don't want to say 'family-oriented,' but 'for all audiences' kind of stuff.
Will Ferrell: Yeah.
Crave Online: Did anybody try to tell you not to do this one? Did anyone say that maybe this isn't marketable? Or are you just that powerful?
Will Ferrell: (Whispers) – I am that powerful… (Normal) – No, you know, I'm lucky enough to kind of work with a manager and agent who are not afraid of that, and actually respect a choice like. Actually, they read it first and were like, "You should read this, it's really good. You know, it's pretty heavy duty, but it feels like it would be kind of cool."
Crave Online: It's a good role for you. One thing this required from a lead actor was a lot of commitment to character, and never letting it go jokey when it's funny. That's something a lot of people admire about your work. You're very committed…
Will Ferrell: Oh, thank you!
Crave Online: Are you method, or is this coming from somewhere else?
Will Ferrell: You know, I'm not method in that strict use of the word. But I've always had a great amount of focus.
Crave Online: Do you stay in character on set a lot?
Will Ferrell: No, I wouldn't… Yeah, I'm not talented enough to do that.
Crave Online: (Laughs) – Or un-talented enough!
Will Ferrell: But let's just say that this piece of material wasn't, like… There were definitely days when I wasn't sitting around joking with everyone. I had to just be… contemplative.
Crave Online: Did you get really sick of Pabst Blue Ribbon [Ferrell's of choice in Everything Must Go]? Or was that not even in the cans?
Will Ferrell: We had water-filled cans, and then the real stuff. For the most part I just used water, because we're shooting out in Arizona, I didn't want to dehydrate. The next thing you know I've got heatstroke. And then sometimes I went for the real stuff, when it was at the end of the day and it didn't matter.
Crave Online: Can you tell which takes were the real stuff?
Will Ferrell: No, I never actually had enough to cross that barrier.
Crave Online: I asked some of our readers if they had any questions I should ask you, and there's that stood out. Here's one: "Did existentialism start with Albert Camus or is it more deeply rooted in the works of Nietzsche?" I just wanted to give that smartass his moment in the sun.
Will Ferrell: Yeah… Camus for sure. I follow… whatever President Bush reads.
Crave Online: Let's talk about Fight for Your Right Revisited, the Beastie Boys film you just made. That's a monster of a short film.
Will Ferrell: Yeah!
Crave Online: How did that come together? Were you contacted by The Beastie Boys themselves?
Will Ferrell: Yeah, they literally reached out to all those people…
Crave Online: Did they approach you specifically to play Ad-Rock?
Will Ferrell: Uh… I guess, I don't know! I guess so. I think it's just one of those things that, as a credit to them, pretty much everyone just responded like, "What? Be in a Beastie Boys video? Done." John C. [Reilly]'s really good friends with them. He knows them pretty well. Maybe he got to pick, but no, I was just happy to…
Crave Online: Was it a long shoot? It's hard to tell how much you're actually in (based on the preview).
Will Ferrell: I did everything that I did in a day. I think John, Jack [Black] and I did all of our stuff in one day. And the other guys might have been over two days.
Crave Online: Has any director ever suggested that you play a role with a limp? (Long beat) – See, I loved Melinda & Melinda [in which Ferrell played an actor who does every role with a limp]…
Will Ferrell: (Remembers) – God, that's funny… That's such a Woody Allen joke. Uh, no.
Crave Online: That's never come up? No one's ever had the balls?
Will Ferrell: That was kind of… There were some moments when I was making that movie when I was kind of like, "Really?"
Crave Online: Well, you were in the funny version…
Will Ferrell: Yeah, it was in the funny version. But sometimes…
Crave Online: Okay, I am legally required to ask about Anchorman 2. I know you're probably sick of it…
Will Ferrell: No, no, no!
Crave Online: Not the movie! I just mean people asking questions.
Will Ferrell: No! We're never sick of it, because it just, once again, reinforces that people would love to see a sequel.
Crave Online: We would.
Will Ferrell: We keep trying to tell that to the powers that be at Paramount, and it's fallen on deaf ears.
Crave Online: Is there a script already? If they gave you the greenlight would you be able to just go?
Will Ferrell: No. The irony is that they were begging us for the longest time, then we were like, "Wait, we think we have a concept," and we talked to Steve [Carrell] and Paul [Rudd], and they were like, "We're in!"
Crave Online: Did they not like the concept? Were they like, "Oh, The Human Centipede already did that?"
Will Ferrell: No, they're just very much driven – as is the way it's going in Hollywood – that, "We ran the numbers, and it doesn't work." So they're just have these computer models, that they plug in actors and what movies they've made, and how the foreign… It's their money, though, too.
Crave Online: It's always this perpetual struggle between people who make good movies, and the people who have to fund that. You always have to explain the movie to mathematicians…
Will Ferrell: But we love that we keep getting asked by people.
Crave Online: Eva Mendes told me that it's like her Citizen Kane.
Will Ferrell: Yeah. I think so…
Crave Online: That's pretty adorable.
Will Ferrell: I know. She is pretty adorable.
Crave Online: I don't watch TV, but I hear you're on The Office.
Will Ferrell: (Laughs)
Crave Online: That's not a joke. But you're only on for a brief stint and a lot of people were wondering if there was any chance you'd be coming back next season.
Will Ferrell: No, that was just a four-episode arc and that's what I did. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but no, there's no imminent plans.
Crave Online: Last question… Again, you have a lot of people supporting you. You get to pick and choose your own projects. What do you want to do that you haven't done yet?
Will Ferrell: (Thinks) – I'd love… I thought it would be interesting to take something from Shakespeare and do it with all comedic actors.
Crave Online: Serious drama?
Will Ferrell: Yeah, and see if it played. Like, if you did Hamlet with a bunch of us, would it play as comedy? Would it still be serious, or would the joke be that it's a little bit of both?
Crave Online: A lot of people might be upset and say, "How dare you?"
Will Ferrell: Yeah, but that kind of intrigues me. I don't know if they'd give me any money for it.
Everything Must Go opens in theaters on Friday, May 13th.

When: Nov. 7-14.

Alejandro Jodorowsky arguably invented the midnight "trip" movie with "El Topo" and "The Holy Mountain." "Jodorowsky's Dune" recounts the psychedelic surrealist's failed attempt to bring Frank Herbert's science fiction classic to the screen years before David Lynch did (and not particularly well).
This documentary should be a fascinating examination of the movie that might have been, and of the unique cinematic mind where it might very well still be playing.
Check back for updates from AFI Fest and more reviews by Los Angeles News Group reporter Bob Strauss.

Today, Toyota Motor Corporation announced the company will provide the option of choosing to use Microsoft Office 365 to more than 200,000 employees of Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. and other affiliates globally to streamline its communications and collaboration capabilities.
In addition to using Office 365, Toyota will provide its employees based in Japan and other overseas affiliates with on-premises versions of Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Lync and Windows Server. Doing so enables the company to deploy the solutions that best meet their business needs while also taking advantage of the choice and flexibility Microsoft's hybrid cloud model provides.
This news expands on a previous announcement of Toyota's adoption of Microsoft technologies. In April 2011, Toyota and Microsoft united to provide next-generation telematics services like GPS systems and other multimedia technologies using the Windows Azure cloud platform.
With Microsoft technologies, Toyota is better able to support mobile devices, reduce IT costs and improve collaboration between employees. By integrating both cloud- and on-premises environments, Toyota provides its employees with more opportunities to collaborate and connect with each other, whether within the same office or throughout locations around the world.

All season long Chapelboro.com's "Hoop It Up" will be republishing select excerpts from Return To The Top on the 20th Anniversary of Dean Smith's 2nd NCAA title season in 1993. Check back on Monday of each week for the next RTTT.
By Henrik Rodl, UNC '93
Monday was absolutely miserable. Few of us slept well on the eve of the biggest game of our lives, and the minutes crept by. We had a shoot around at the Superdome and a team meeting, but otherwise we tried to kill time by watching ESPN or movies in our room. You'd look at your watch and it would say "2:25". You'd look at it after what seemed like an hour and it would say "2:24."
We went downstairs for our pre-game meal. Coach (Bill) Guthridge passed around the gold scissors that a fan had sent. Engraved on them was, "North Carolina, 1993 NCAA Champions." That was kind of neat. We passed around the scissors, hoping that we'd be using them later that night.
When we got on the bus a little while later, a lump welled up in my throat seeing all the parents standing around waving pom-poms and hugging everyone as they passed by. The Montrosses, the Salvadori's, the Cherry's, Derrick's parents and his little brother. Everyone else – there was something about the sight that was very moving. I guess it hit me how much our team touched and affected so many people's lives.
Finally, 8 o'clock arrived and it was time to play. The game, of course, as a classic, full of streaks by both teams, marvelous individual play, interesting strategy by the coaches. The only thing that distracted from the championship atmosphere was the size of the massive Superdome and how the crowd is so removed from the playing floor that it is a non-factor. It's not like a lot of ACC games where our crowd or the opposing crowd on the road can be a real part of the game.
Thirty-one minutes into the game, Michigan took a 60-58 lead on a dunk by Chris Webber. Then Donald Williams went to work for us. Twenty-three footer from the left – swish. Twenty-two footer on the right – boom. Then Derrick made a layup on an assist from Brian (Reese) and, with 3:07 to play, we were up by one, 68-67.
George made a super turnaround jumper in the lane and then a wonderful pass out of a trap to Eric, who broke free for a dunk. Those baskets gave us a 72-67 lead, but Michigan cut it back to one with two baskets. Then Pat (Sullivan) was fouled and went to the line for a 1-and-1. Pat made one of them to give us a two-point lead and set up the game's most talked-about moment.
Too much attention has been made of the Webber timeout that resulted in a technical. Too many people have blamed him for the loss. That's ridiculous. One, Webber walked at the other end with rebound after Pat's missed free throw, so we should have had the ball anyway. That's not open for debate. The violation is crystal clear on tape. Two, he was surrounded by Derrick and George, who weren't letting him go anywhere. Three, Donald still had to make the foul shots. And four, without Webber, Michigan's not in the game anyway. At times, we couldn't stop him.
So the spotlight was on Donald those last few seconds and he swished four free throws to give us the championship, 77-71. When the gun sounded, all I can remember was wanting to find everyone on the team and give them a big hug. We'd become such good friends. We'd worked so hard. We'd been in the spotlight for so long. It was such a relief, I can't begin to describe it. I remember being very, very thankful there wasn't another game to play. That there wasn't a championship of the universe or galaxy still to win.
One of the special moments was when the team, coaches and managers returned to the locker room and we had a few minutes to ourselves – after the celebration on the court and before the press came in. We said our prayer and hugged each other, more out of love this time than the celebratory hugs out on the court. Someone – Coach Guthridge, I think – had written on the chalkboard, "Congratulations. You're a great team. No practice tomorrow!"
We were amazed at the crowd gathered at the hotel. The lobby was wall-to-wall people. Everyone wanted to give us a big high five, but all our hands were carrying our bags. I think a few high fives landed on our heads. Some of the guys never went to sleep that night. You could see how they looked when we got on the bus to go to the airport Tuesday morning. We all needed a few hours of quiet time on the plane to get ready for the homecoming celebration in Chapel Hill.
When the bus drove into Chapel Hill, I became overwhelmed with emotion. We went down Franklin Street on the way to the Smith Center, and people were waving and laughing and yelling. You could see some splashes of blue paint from the celebration the night before.
It had been some journey – from learning about Carolina Basketball from Coach Williams so many years ago to winning a national championship in New Orleans.
It dawned on me in the season's aftermath, as I planned my return to my native Germany, that I am indeed a rich man through the friends I've made and the lessons I've learned during my years at Carolina.
NEXT: Captain George Lynch's Diary on winning the championship banner that will hang forever.

Susac's progress opening Giants' eyes
SAN FRANCISCO -- Angel Pagan was next to manager Bruce Bochy in the Giants dugout Monday night when Andrew Susac hit a home run where home runs rarely go at AT&T Park: to straightaway center field.
Bochy was thoroughly impressed and made even moreso after Pagan leaned over and told him the wind was blowing in out there.
"That home run was one of the more impressive ones we've had this year," Bochy said Tuesday. "He's probably done as much improving as any of our prospects."
After recording just one hit in his first 13 at-bats, Susac has made strides of late, as he entered Tuesday hitting .304 (7-for-23) with two home runs and seven RBIs in eight games since. Combined with the acumen he's displayed behind the plate, he's making a case to be a viable option as the Giants' catcher of the future, if the team opts to spare Buster Posey wear and tear by shifting him to a corner-infield position.
"He's been right on the money throwing the ball, too," Bochy said. "He hasn't had an easy job back there, for the most part catching Timmy [Lincecum]. When you're a kid, that's not easy."

Tar Heels welcome struggling Yellow Jackets
Posted November 10, 2012
Chapel Hill, N.C. — The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets attempt to salvage an uncharacteristic sub par season on Saturday afternoon when they travel to Chapel Hill to take on the North Carolina Tar Heels in ACC action.
Georgia Tech has had its share of ups and down this season en route to a modest 4-5 record. It won two of its first three games, only to slide into a three-game losing streak. Since then however, the Yellow Jackets have turned things around with wins in two of their last three, including last week's 33-13 road win over Maryland to move to 3-3 in ACC play. They have an incredible streak of being bowl eligible in 15 consecutive seasons, but they will need to win two of their final three games to accomplish that feat this year.
UNC has won five of its last six games, including most recently against NC State on Oct. 27 (43-35) to pull to 6-3 and become bowl eligible. With a 3-2 conference record, the Tar Heels are just a half game behind Miami for the ACC Coastal Division lead. Kenan Memorial Stadium has been a great home field advantage for the Heels, as they have gone 5-0 in Chapel Hill this season and they have won 11 of their last 12 at home since the start of the 2011 season.
Georgia Tech holds a 26-18-3 advantage over UNC in the all-time series, which includes wins in three straight and 12 of the last 14 matchups.
The Georgia Tech offense (34.9 ppg) has found success behind the nation's fourth-ranked rushing attack, amassing 318.2 ypg. It put its philosophy to the test last week with great results, rushing for 370 yards against the Maryland's fourth-ranked rush defense (77.6 ypg heading into last week's game).
Quarterback Tevin Washington needed to attempt just two passes last week and has modest passing totals on the season (55-of-93, 901 yards, four TDs, three INTs), but most of his damage comes on the ground as he is second on the team in rushing with 511 yards and his 16 rushing scores are six more than any other player in the ACC. Vad Lee also sees time under center and is in a similar mold as Washington (277 passing yards, 322 rushing yards, eight total TDs).
With opposing defenses needing to stay honest against the triple option, Orwin Smith is able to take advantage of big plays, as he averages nearly 10 yards per carry this year en route to 523 yards and four scores. Zach Laskey (448 yards, TD) also sees plenty of work in the backfield.
There isn't much passing in the Yellow Jackets' playbook. Smith is the leading receiver with 14 catches, and Jeff Greene (13 receptions, 238 yards, two TDs) is the only other player averaging more than a catch per game. However, when they do pass, it's often for big yardage, as seven different receivers have caught a pass for 39 yards or longer.
Last week's 13-point effort not withstanding, Georgia Tech's defense (28 ppg) has been the main reason for its sub-.500 record. It has allowed 41 points or more in four of its last six games.
Jemea Thomas has been one of the conference's top defensive backs with 52 tackles, three interceptions and six pass breakups. Jeremiah Attaochu is the leading pass rusher with five sacks, three of which came last week, helping him earn ACC Linebacker of the Week honors.
UNC has been one of the few offenses in the ACC better than Georgia Tech as it ranks third in both scoring (39.4 ppg) and yardage (487.8 ypg). It is coming off a 570-yard performance in its last game against rival NC State.
Bryn Renner threw for 358 yards in the Oct. 27 win, falling just five yards short of his career high of 363 set against Louisville earlier in the season. Renner has been one of the best signal-callers in the ACC, completing 62.5 percent of his passes for 2,386 yards, 18 touchdowns and six interceptions.
Renner doesn't play favorites in the receiving game as six different players have recorded at least 200 yards with multiple touchdowns, led by Erik Highsmith (42 receptions, 443 yards, two TDs) and Eric Ebron (35 receptions, 546 yards, three TDs).
Rounding out a well-balanced offense is Giovani Bernard, who has been fantastic in his sophomore season. He leads the ACC in rushing (930 yards), and he's also an excellent receiver out of the backfield with 32 receptions, including eight for 95 yards against NC State. His prowess as a multi- dimensional playmaker has led to 15 total touchdowns (10 rushing, three receiving, two punt return), which is already the fifth-most in program history for a single season.
The defense has played very well for the most part (21 ppg), but the unit has been vulnerable in recent weeks, allowing 33 points or more in three of its last four games.
The Tar Heels' strength on defense is forcing turnovers as they rank tied for 19th in the nation with 21 takeaways, led by three interceptions apiece from Tre Boston and Tim Scott. Kevin Reddick is having an All-ACC type campaign at linebacker with 58 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, and a forced fumble.
While UNC's defense has some weakness, it is very stout against the run in allowing just 111 yards per game, which does not bode well for the Yellow Jackets. The Tar Heels have been rolling at home, and there's no reason to believe that trend will stop.

What we've done with 5SK® is break down the true commonalities of the game's greatest players and called them keys. If you can achieve more keys, you'll improve as a golfer. All of the Keys are not only achievable (i.e. everyone can get better), but are measurable as well.
They are:
- Steady Head
- Weight Forward
- Flat Lead Wrist
- Diagonal Sweetspot Path
- Clubface Control
We can measure all of those things, and improving at them is achievable by all golfers of any skill level. The more "keys" you have, the more you have in common with the game's best players, and thus, the better you're likely to be.
These commonalities are pretty widely applied. The way we've defined things ("steady" being "relatively still" not "completely unmoving" and with wider allowances for drivers versus mid-irons), there are virtually no exceptions at the top levels of the game. None. If you can name more than a few exceptions to one of your Keys, it's not a true Key.
So that got me thinking: what are the "keys" or commonalities among the game's best in disc golf?
I'll start off. I think that "weight forward" is one of them. I haven't seen ANY pros throwing off their back foot. I don't have the pressure plate readings, but many seem to reach about 90% pressure under their front foot by the time the disc is near their pec and 100% pressure soon after. These numbers would vary slightly for stand-still throws, but does everyone agree "weight forward" is a "Key" to disc golf? Why or why not?
Borrowing from Key #4 and Key #5 in golf, I think "Nose Angle Control" and "Wing Angle Control" are two (though perhaps they could be condensed into one). The game's best players control the nose angle and wing angle to a very small degree for the selected throw.
Grip isn't a commonality. "Straight Line Delivery" isn't one (see Dan Beto's delivery path for the first exception that springs to mind) either.
So, what are the other "Keys"?
P.S. Forehands are likely different enough too that they might be excluded, as are thumbers and tomahawks.
P.P.S. Re-posted from the "other" place. I'm expecting much better posts here, to be honest.

The refs trying to take control of the game in the third quarter was ridiculous, as no one knew what was a foul and what was not. From our biased lower bowl position it looked like Phoenix was getting away with a lot of shoving while the Fever were being called for a lot of ticky-tack touch fouls.
Fever clearly very tired (arm lift in the fourth quarter looked like everyone's wrists weighed a ton). Clarendon made us crazy on offense with her inability to hit inside shots, but she's going to be a good defensive stopper, I think.
This depleted roster sux.
And I was really ticked off Griner couldn't play. I had really been looking forward to that, in a way I seldom look forward to seeing even a particular NBA player. I think she is going to change the WNBA game - it remains to be seen if that is a good or bad thing.

A man accused of raping a child in Dilton Marsh has had the charge against him dropped.
Scott Williams pleaded not guilty to a single count of raping a female under the age of 16 when he appeared at Swindon Crown Court on Monday, January 14 last year.
But after hearing how the girl making the claim refused to let the police examine her mobile phone, prosecutors said they would not proceed with the case.
A judge was also told that entries on social networks, which may have been used by the defence, had also been deleted.
Tessa Hingston, for the Crown, said "We are unable to get the phone records from the alleged victim.
"She wouldn't give up her phone. we can't get Facebook entries as they were deleted soon after."
Williams, of Criollo Court, Westbury, was due to face a trial by judge and jury on Monday, March 31 but on Friday Judge Douglas Field returned a formal not guilty verdict and discharged the case against the defendant, who was not required in court for the hearing.

10 Best Tools From the Outdoor Power Equipment Show
Trying to screw or nail into concrete sounds like a near-impossible task. But attaching to concrete really isn't much more difficult than fastening to wood—if you use the correct tools and specialized fasteners. These four types of fastener are specifically designed for attaching to concrete, and most can also be used in brick, stone, and concrete block as well.
Before installing most concrete fasteners, you must first drill a hole using a carbide-tipped masonry bit. The quickest, easiest way to drill into concrete is with a hammer drill, which uses both bit rotation and concussive blows to bore holes. If you don't own a hammer drill you can use a standard drill, but it'll take two to three times longer to drill each hole.
It's also important to blow or vacuum the concrete dust from the hole before inserting the fastener. Fasteners grip much more tightly to clean, dust-free holes.
For attaching something relatively light to concrete, it's hard to beat the speed and ease of hammer-set anchors. Each anchor consists of an unthreaded pin set into a metal sleeve. Simply drill a hole into the concrete, hold the fixture you're fastening over the hole, then use a hammer to tap the anchor into the hole. As the pin is hammered in, the sleeve expands outward, trapping the anchor in the hole.
Hammer-set anchors, also known as nail anchors, typically require a 1/4-inch-diameter hole and come in lengths ranging from 1 to 2 inches. A 50-piece box of 1-1/4-inch-long anchors costs about $8.
Hammer-set anchors are perfect for attaching metal electrical boxes, wood furring strips, conduit, and shelf brackets to concrete, block, and brick. Keep in mind that they are not removable.

i just played walnut creek outside of charlottesville, va yesterday and all i can say is WOW. if walnut creek had concrete tee pads instead of natural tee pads i'd probably say this was the best course i have ever played. lots of variety in the holes, lots of elevation changes, and water on in play on 3 holes = schweet!
everyone should play this course if they're in the area. they also offer camping and have a great network of trails if you're into hiking or mountain biking.

48U enclosure for high-density environments
Addressing critical power, cooling, and cabling issues for high density environments. Available in 3 form factors.
Suggested Product
Dell Netshelter SX racks
Delivery methods and timing may vary, click for more information.
Exceedingly Strong and SecureWith a static load rating of 2,500 lbs and three sizes to choose from, the PowerEdge 4820 rack enclosure can provide the capacity you need to hold a full complement of data center equipment.
- Standard (4820): 600mm wide x 1070mm deep
- Wide (4820W): 750mm wide x 1070mm deep
- Deep (4820D): 600mm wide x 1200mm deep
Stabilizer feet, included with the rack, attach to the front and sides of each 4820 rack enclosure for increased stability. Interconnect kits are available to link adjacent rack enclosures.
Lockable side panels and front and rear doors provide security for data centers, remote offices, wiring closets, factory floors and other server environments.
Important PDU Mounting FeaturesIn addition to U-space PDU mounting, the PowerEdge 4820 rack enclosure has specially designed trays inside the rear doors to easily mount vertical PDUs, without using any tools, so they won't interfere with air circulation. The wide design of the 4820W moves the PDU trays even farther away from the rack's frame, which reduces interference with installed equipment and cables.
Dell vertical-mount PDUs are available in a number of sizes and can be combined within a rack. The trays in the standard (4820) and wide (4820W) racks can hold up to four full-height or eight half-height units, while the deep (4820D) rack trays can accommodate twice as many.
A Bundle of Cable-Management Options
Each of the three PowerEdge 4820 sizes accommodates servers with deep chassis dimensions while allowing space for cable management. The large open base and removable side panels offer more options for cable access.
Made to Stay CoolThe PowerEdge 4820 rack is designed to facilitate better airflow. The front and rear doors are 80 percent perforated, and flexible air dams help keep hot air from moving from the back to the front, alleviating a problem common in many racks. Dell's wide rack enclosure employs extended air dams across the front to help ensure proper airflow containment. Available blanking panels can further manage airflow for unused U-space in the rack.
For hot-aisle/cold-aisle thermally efficient data center topologies, the standard rack enclosure fits on two standard floor tiles, in a space two feet wide and four feet deep. The 4820W rack is slightly wider, and the 4820D rack is slightly deeper. Space planners can select the form factor that best meets data center needs.
Infrastructure for the Efficient Enterprise
For data center efficiency, Dell offers a range of accessories to help you further improve power management, enhance airflow and ease component mounting. Additional options include a rack fan, an equipment shelf and a 1U KMM (keyboard/monitor/mouse) console.
Cable management
Dell provides several options for cable management that can be used separately or together, depending on your specific needs.
The vertical cable manager (VCM) can be installed in the rear power distribution unit (PDU) tray of the Dell PowerEdge™ xx20 racks (or many third-party racks that use the same button-mount keyhole spacing), occupying the width of a single vertical PDU. The VCM kit also has alternate mounting holes and ships with screws to allow installation along the rear EIA-standard posts in the 750 mm wide Dell rack enclosures.
The VCM has two 18U sections, which allows you to easily place it in various locations within the PDU tray, wherever you need it, even in a 24U rack. The VCM finger spacing correlates to the rack U spacing, and the metal cover snaps into place on the fingers to contain and conceal your cables.
The horizontal crossover panels, also called lacing bars, are compliant to the EIA-310 specification and are available in two heights, 1U and 2U. They have several types of attachment point options, including mounting locations for metal cable rings, hook-and-loop straps with a twist connector and other accessories that use the rectangular twist connectors, such as claw hooks. The accessories can be mounted to either side of the crossover panel, which can be installed in the front or back of any EIA-310 compliant rack.
The metal cable rings can be installed in the PDU trays in the Dell rack or attached to the horizontal crossover panels. Six of these rings are provided with the hardware kit shipped in each Dell rack and this kit of 10 rings provides additional cable management support within the rack.
A separate kit of 10 hook-and-loop straps with twist connectors provides a quick and easy way to secure cables snugly against the sides of the rack. These straps can also be connected to the horizontal crossover panels to tightly bundle cables crossing from one side of the rack to the other.
Cooling/airflow management
Dell offers closeout filler panels, also called blanking panels, in a variety of sizes and materials to fit in the Dell PowerEdge racks as well as other EIA-310 compliant racks. Closeout filler panels are attached to the front of unused rack space and are designed to improve air flow to the installed equipment and reduce hot air recirculation to the front of the rack. Using closeout filler panels helps implement data center best practices that can lead to an important common goal: creating the coldest possible intake temperature with the highest possible volume of chilled air plus the warmest possible exhaust temperature.
Plastic closeout filler panels are available in 1U and 2U sizes and provide quick and tool-less snap-in installation for square-hole racks.
Steel closeout filler panels provide support for more types of racks, with tooled installation for square, round or threaded holes. Multiple sizes are available in 1U, 2U, 3U or 6U increments to optimize your coverage. For threaded-hole racks, hardware with #10–32 threads is provided.
|Panel Options
|Single pack
|10 pack
|100 pack
|Square hole
|Round hole
|Threaded hole
Rack fans can be mounted on the top of the Dell 4 x 20 racks to help move air through the perforated canopy. Regional models are available for 120V, 208V and 230V operation.
Additional accessories
The 1U fixed-equipment shelf provides multiple options for rail attachment in a variety of 4- and 2-post racks, supporting a loaded weight capacity of 200 pounds (90.7 kg). The heavy-duty steel shelf also includes slots to facilitate cable management and two hook-and-loop straps to secure cables.
Interconnect kits (also referred to as baying or ganging kits) allow you to connect two Dell racks of the same height. It is possible to connect racks of different depths, in addition to connecting PowerEdge xx20 racks to the previous generation of xx10 racks.
Grounding kits provide a set of wires and fasteners to bond the rack's removable components to the frame for a common ground. Dell rack enclosures offer a bonding point (or grounding stud) on each of the doors, sides and other removable components, and all bonding points on the enclosure should be connected to the rack frame. The wires provided with grounding kits are sized and labeled to fit with specific components — refer to the instructions for proper connection.

|Strength of Schedule Report
August 2, 2012
Overthinking It
Have Glove, Will Learn to Hit
Plenty of weak-hitting players from baseball's past and present have gotten by on good gloves alone. Most big-league benches boast a part-timer whose sole strength is an ability to play capable defense at premium positions. But despite Brendan Ryan's best efforts, relatively few players become stars unless they can combine good gloves with big bats.
Fortunately, not every good-field, no-hit player is destined to stay that way. Legendary glove man Ozzie Smith was a good player who turned into a great one when he learned how to hit in his late 20s. Defensive players of Smith's caliber are few and far between, but some of today's finest fielders could follow a similar trajectory. This season, the following five defense-first players who entered 2012 with reputations as easy outs have become much tougher to retire, transforming themselves (at least temporarily) into all-around threats instead of one-dimensional talents.
Jeff Mathis, C, Blue Jays
This season, Mathis hasn't just hit better than he ever has before, he's hit better than the average catcher. He hasn't played enough to make a major impact, but in just 35 games and 110 plate appearances, he's contributed half a win to Toronto. That makes this the first season in which he's played above replacement level, according to WARP (which doesn't currently capture all of his defensive contributions). His plate discipline stats and walk, strikeout, and batted-ball rates don't look much different, and his BABIP is well above its usual norm, which would seem to suggest that his small-sample success is a fluke. But the improvement isn't all batting-average based, the result of a few more bloops and bleeders. Over the last seven seasons, 68 percent of Mathis' hits were singles. This season, only 48 percent are. And his fly balls have left the park almost four times as frequently as they did from 2010-2011.
Some of that can be explained by his move from Angel Stadium, a hard place to hit right-handed homers, to Rogers Centre, a far more favorable offensive environment. But there might be more to it. Shortly after Mathis' move, former catcher Gregg Zaun claimed that Mathis had better power than was generally believed and speculated that his hitting would improve once he was free from Scioscia's single-minded emphasis on defense. If a new mindset has played a role in Mathis' surprising success, he might manage to retain more of his gains at the plate than we'd expect from the typical one-season wonder.
Craig Gentry, CF, Rangers
However, Gentry generally hasn't been an asset on the other side of the ball. The 28-year-old entered this season without a history of mashing in the minors and with a career .222 TAv for Texas—a career mark also owned by Neifi Perez. Outfielders who hit like Neifi Perez don't play much, since they make more outs at the plate than they can possibly make up in the field. Even in late April, Ron Washington saw Gentry as a defensive replacement who might make some starts against southpaws.
Things have changed since then. Overall, Gentry has posted a .294 TAv, the seventh-highest figure among center fielders with at least 200 PA, and his hot hitting during Josh Hamilton's extended slump has earned him the start in center in 18 of the Rangers' last 25 games. Despite his part-time play early on, Gentry's 1.8 WARP makes him the Rangers' third-most-valuable player. He has the eighth-highest BABIP of any hitter with at least 200 PA, which suggests that he won't hit this well for long, but even with a bat around average, his glove would make him an asset. If the Rangers beat out the Angels in the AL West, Gentry will have been a big reason why.
Elvis Andrus, SS, Rangers
Alcides Escobar, SS, Royals
Carlos Gomez, CF, Brewers
But Gomez doesn't look like a slap hitter: he's listed at 6'4", 210, and at age 26, he has the strength to do something different. He made some strides at the plate last season but remained a below-average batter. This season, he's added even more power and become an above-average batter, not just by center-field standards, but overall. Tellingly, he's no longer hitting the ball on the ground as often. Over the last three seasons, 50.5 percent of Gomez's balls in play were grounders. This season, only 38.8 percent have been classified as such. Gomez remains an excellent fielder and baserunner who ranks just a few spots below Gentry on the center-field catch percentage list and leads the Brewers in BRR. By fulfilling his power potential, he's set himself up for an impressive prime.

There's still plenty of game left, so this is far from over.
The Pacers overcame a big deficit against Miami to win, I think they can here too.
Pacers need to start playing MUCH better defense though.
Just as soon as our rebounding looks good we are getting our rears handed to us on the boards by McDyess.
DICE is kickin our butts right now
We rebound like a bunch of idiots. We had Dunleavy, Jermaine and Foster huddled up with the ball in the circle and Dice comes in and gets the board. Pathetic.
tinsley is useless. if he isnt gone by the deadline....disappointment.

13 Party Clean-Up Tips from the Pros
Now I know some of you may be arguing that food is not gender specific—a hamburger is neither a male or female food, it is simply a hamburger. That is a completely reasonable argument, but please allow me to respond with one word: "Hooters." If women ate the cuisine served at Hooters with the same enthusiasm as their male counterparts, perhaps we could have reasonably expected a female-oriented chain restaurant called "Sacks" to appear.
Whether it's just marketing or some sort of deep, dark, gender-biased gastronomical truth (recognized and exploited by marketers), certain foods have definitely become associated with each gender's preference for them. So with that in mind, here's what to feed your wings-loving man on Father's Day.
Hooters, Wing Hut, and Pete's Boob & Chicken Palace have all arrived at the same conclusion: If you deeply fry a chicken wing and slather it in hot sauce, men will come. If you add big-screen TVs and women in '80s gym fashions, they will stay forever. These places are basically Field of Dreams, but no one is there to play a sport.
Wings are perhaps the best example of the pleasure/pain principle that is so often associated with Man Food. There is no food more immediately gratifying that leaves a path of destruction for hours and days after consuming it.
You Can Grill That?
