Harper gets his first hit of spring training
Monday night, Bryce Harper went home, talked to his father about the two strikeouts on seven pitches that marked his first appearance on a major league field and laughed. Hours after they happened, Harper stopped thinking about the strikeouts.
"That was yesterday," he said. "Today is today."
Harper entered Tuesday's game in the bottom of the fifth, as a pinch-hitter for Jayson Werth. Harper fell behind 0-1 against Mets right-handed reliever Pedro Beato. Then Beato threw him an outside fastball.
"It was a good pitch to drive," Harper said. Harper took an easy swing and swatted the ball on a line to left field.Brown injures ankle
Outfielder Corey Brown sprained his left ankle Tuesday afternoon after sliding into a Mets catcher while trying to score on a groundball to first by Bryce Harper. Brown, one of the players the Nationals received in the trade that sent Josh Willingham to the Oakland A's, left the game after being tended to by athletic trainer Lee Kuntz.
The Nationals believe Brown's swollen ankle suffered a mild sprain. He will miss a few days, but both the team and Brown expect him back roughly by the end of the week.Strasburg update
Since the first day Stephen Strasburg showed up at Nationals spring training and played light catch, there has been a dearth of updates regarding his condition. This owes to the nature of the Tommy John surgery recovery process.
At some point, if all goes to plan, he'll climb a mound for the first time. Much later this season, he'll pitch in a minor league game. For the most part, no news is good news.
Strasburg has made some small progress during his time at Nationals spring training. He was throwing from 45 feet on his first day. He has backed up to roughly 75 feet, he said Tuesday morning, and his rebuilt right elbow is perfectly fine.
"It feels great," Strasburg said. "You just can't push it, because then it won't feel great."Lineup moves
First baseman Adam LaRoche was the designated hitter because of tenderness in his left shoulder. The Nationals believe the issue is not serious, and they held LaRoche off the field despite his desire to play, Manager Jim Riggleman said. . . .
Tuesday's lineup, the first this spring in which Ryan Zimmerman and Jayson Werth appeared, offered some insight into how Riggleman will set his regular-season lineup. Werth batted third and Zimmerman hit cleanup, which is how Riggleman is "leaning" to align his two best hitters once the season starts, he said.

Two Bears win gold at OlympicsAug. 31, 2004
Grand Prairie junior Jeremy Wariner will reportedly turn pro after winning two medals at the Olympic Games in Athens.
The Waco Tribune-Herald reported on Sunday that Wariner will forgo his final two seasons of eligibility at Baylor, though he does plan to continue to attend classes and train in Waco. The runner made his decision public not long after winning his second gold medal with the U.S. 4x400 relay squad.
"It's going to be the best thing for me," Wariner told the Tribune-Herald. "It was the right decision. I've accomplished all I can in college track and field, and now I just need to step up to the pros and run on that next level."
Wariner won his first gold medal on Aug. 23, running 44.00 in the 400-meter race.
San Antonio senior Darold Williamson ran the anchor leg for the 4x400-meter relay team. Otis Harris led off with a 44.82 split, followed by silver medalist Derrick Brew, who came in with the fastest split of the relay at 43.28.
Wariner took the stick and raced to a 43.98 split, then Williamson finished off the victory with a 43.83.
Wariner and Williamson are expected to return to Waco this week.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Here's an interesting tidbit that arrived in the "In Box" here at The Garage this week: Artist David Uhl, who has done A LOT of illustration work for Harley Davidson, has created a painting that will serve as one of the Centennial Indy 500 program covers. The 100th running of this all-American auto race is scheduled for Sunday, May 29, 2011.
Uhl based his painting on a photograph from the first Indy 500 in 1911. You'll notice that car 32, which won the race, has only the driver on board. That is because car 32 had an innovation still in use on every car in the world today: a rear view mirror.
That mirror, which looks like a miniature wing on four struts—just in front driver Ray Harroun—took the place of what all the other race teams used to keep an eye on racers behind: a ride-along mechanic.
It is generally believed that the weight saved by Harroun riding alone is what allowed him to win the race. Harroun's race car was dubbed the Marmon Wasp. I like the fact that Uhl's illustration includes small flames in the exhaust ports of Harroun's number 32. Speaking of numbers, the Wasp averaged a speed of 74.6 mph in that first Indy 500.
Compare Harroun's car to the 1999 Indy 500 winner — the year I was able to cover the race for WCCO-TV.
You'll see quite a bit of race car evolution, but rear view mirrors are still in use. This photo is from the Indianapolis News, May 31ST of '99. We were covering a Minnesota driver piloting a Target-sponsored race car.
I got a T-shirt that day 12 years ago, and here is a picture of it.
I have never worn it because the trip to Indy is such a special memory. I am going to frame the shirt and hang it in my garage some day.
I'll bet some people who attend this year's race will bring home a program with the David Uhl image and end up framing that some day in the future.

Nintendo's Wii U advertising campaign officially launched in the States today with its first television commercial for the upcoming video game home console that debuts Nov. 18.
The minute-long TV spot shows several groups of happy people all playing different kinds of Wii U games. We've reported previously on the first Wii U ad that Nintendo aired in the U.K. That advertisement attempted to explain the new functionality of the hardware, whereas the U.S. ad shows instead of tells. That's probably better, as anyone that wants to learn about Nintendo's new console is better off reading our article that explains everything you need to know about the Wii U.
The Wii U is Nintendo's next home console and a followup to the Wii. Nintendo is selling the basic Wii U console for $299.99. Its marquee feature is a new tablet controller that enables one player to get a different perspective on the game while others follow the action on the TV display.
We'll have a review of the Wii U hardware and the first handful of games in the coming weeks. In the meantime, find all of the news relevant to the launch here.

Controversy erupted after school district officials censored an Ammo Depot ad on Ponderosa High School's Bruin Stadium scoreboard.
"Firearms and ammo are prohibited on campus so is advertising them the right thing to do?" Chris Hoffman, superintendent of the El Dorado Union High School District, said. "We're a school, so is this the right place to do this? It's worth having a conversation about."
The company also issued a press release after the school's decision. In part it reads, "On Friday, Aug. 17, school officials, in defiance of school and district policies, covered Ammo Depot's advertising on the scoreboard. The school has turned the sign/advertising around, giving the impression that the advertisement/sponsor is in distress or that there is something wrong, when, in fact, the Ammo Depot's sign was both approved and paid for before it was displayed on the scoreboard. By turning the sign around or covering it up, not only is advertising deprived, but it becomes a point of negative advertising — a condemnation by the school purely because a few administrators dislike shooting sports."
Lungren said the company had previously signed an advertising contract with the Ponderosa Bruin Den, a volunteer group that handles advertising and raises funds for the school's football program. Lungren said Ponderosa Bruin Den officials were the ones who approved, manufactured and mounted the sign.
"The school administrators have violated their own policies by flipping the sign," said Lungren. "They shouldn't use school policies to implement their personal bias."
Lungren said his family owned company is a longtime supporter of groups in the county, including Ponderosa High's Future Farmers of America program, Union Mine's High School football and Boy Scouts. "I grew up in Rescue and my siblings and I all attended Ponderosa High School," he said.
"We are trying to work towards a solution," she offered.
Garrett said the issue was not with the sign but rather its design, which she described as red with bullet holes through it, explaining, "We have nothing against the people or the establishment."
Echoing Garrett's comments, Hoffman also said the decision to flip the sign was not a personal thing. The superintendent said he and his son are themselves signed up for firearms training in September.
Lungren said they had no problem redesigning and rewording the sign to focus more on the firearms training Ammo Depot offers. "We're happy to change the design of the sign. All we wanted was the sign back up."

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Project Hawai'i, Inc., Kea'au, HI, USA
I've been aware of Magin Patrick and the Christmas Wish Program from when she first came to our island and started caring for the homeless people of our island. From the first time we met to discuss collaborating on some Domestic Harmony events for her families we had common ground and were/are committed to addressing the very real issues of domestic violence in homeless families by teaching them about Domestic Harmony. To that end, Magin and I have consulted and participated in events together, including a t shirt contest, and fund raiser. In addition, she held the first Domestic Harmony event on O'ahu on behalf of the Domestic Harmony Awareness Initiative, where she read Mayor Hannemann's proclamation to her families on 11 11 07, while they were enjoying the food she secured for them. Magin's organization has a number of volunteers, she has secured good press all along, she has made a huge impact on numbers of people here and on O'ahu through her steadfast commitment to her families and this work. It is amazing year after year to see the programs she comes up with and then the effort she extends to see that those children have a Halloween party or a Christmas party and school supplies. More help and supplies, and materials which could be secured with more funds would only serve to help her provide even better services. What she does matters. She's an Ace of Hearts.
More Feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
Magin's creativity in finding ways to make the Christmas wishes of so many come true all these years. Creating all the other 'normal' holiday events and tutoring. Dedication to the children to make their lives better by showing them that people care.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Inspired by what they are doing and give their all. Magin is an inspiration to many. Her children are involved in the work too.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Help a lot of people get their lives together, find homes, keep their kids, keep their kids in school.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

text: Submitted by Mark.Taylor on Thu, 2014-08-21 11:30 Vote Up Down +36 + roguekids.JPG This is the time of year when kids often reluctantly return from summer fun to school. A group of Michigan students got to spend part of a recent school day working and learning in a different kind of classroom. The students are in a homeschool program, and last fall connected with Trout Unlimited to help with its Home Rivers Initiative on the Rogue River, choosing the project as their community service project. "They responded to one of our stream insect monitoring events that they saw in the paper," said Nicol DeMol, Rogue River Home Rivers Initiative project manager. "They have 12 members in their group that have been assisting us throughout the project since the fall." The students, most of whom are from families who live in the Rogue River watershed, are part of a robotics team. "When we work with them they come out for about four hours," DeMol noted. "They have helped with stream insect monitoring, putting out temperature loggers into our coldwater streams, taking the training to become citizen monitors, cleaning up trash along the Rogue River and just started with the river habitat mapping." During their most recent outing, the students worked on Rum Creek, a Rogue tributary. The students' work will include stream habitat restoration and protection efforts. "In the fall they will be involved in a project with us to fence out cattle from a stream and also install instream habitat," DeMol noted. "Other groups of homeschool kids do community service like food pantries or Relay for Life. "This group says that they have a unique community service that they love -- protecting and restoring their home waters." Log in or register to post comments

Mentor Graphics' adds multimedia support to its OS, Inflexion UI tools platform
Post a comment
Mentor Graphics' Inflexion Platform Multimedia Feature Pack for its Nucleus OS makes it easier for designers to add advanced multimedia support to embedded systems such as mobile phones, wireless devices, personal media players and set-top boxes.
It is an important addition to Mentor's Inflexion Platform UI, which enables the agile creation and customization of user interfaces for consumer electronic devices. Completely new designs can be realized without modification to a device's software stack.
Inflexion Platform Multimedia Feature Pack goes beyond user interface capability by enabling rich audio and video content to be incorporated throughout a device's interface, without the need for programming or scripting.
Coping with an ever-growing range of media formats such as JPEG, MP3, MPEG and H.264 is a difficult task. Adding support for content playback from different sources increases the challenge significantly. Mentor's solution takes a modular approach, enabling software components from multiple vendors (including codecs) to be combined quickly and easily.
Example applications include: previews for premium downloadable content (e.g. music videos); animated advertisements; live application icons; embedded context-sensitive audio/video help content; and full-screen streaming video playback.
To ensure maximum interoperability, Inflexion Platform Multimedia Feature Pack implements the new OpenMAX industry standard API. This means that any OpenMAX-compliant multimedia component such as audio and video codecs can be integrated with minimal effort, including those which take advantage of accelerated graphics hardware. OpenMAX's wide industry support enables the rapid and flexible deployment of streaming media acceleration on a wide range of silicon platforms and operating systems, said Neil Trevett, president of the Khronos Group. He added that Mentor Graphics' announcement enables embedded developers to take advantage of the full power of OpenMAX across the wide range of embedded platforms that use Nucleus OS.

Make your workouts pass quickly
Are you watching the Olys? Me, barely. But a big publisher, MacMillan, thought listening to audiobooks on your iPod might make your personal exercise program more enjoyable.
Audiobooks, if you don't already know, are read by professional actors and readers—not volunteers. They differentiate the accents, the voices. Usually one gender reads both genders, but it works.
Sometimes you get a reader who irritates, but otherwise, this is a great medium—as I learned when losing a lot of my vision.
Anyhow, if you love thrillers, MacMillan recommends A FOREIGN COUNTRY by Charles Cumming. This is basically a spy thriller with a disgraced spy getting one more chance. I like Cumming—so give it a throw.
Portland detective Archie Sheridan is a regular in books by Chelsea Cain, a writer I find very gruesome. He has sort of a Clarice thing going with a really mean gal called Gretchen, who is supposedly now in jail. The book is KILL ME TWICE.
Great buzz around for GONE GIRL by Gillian Flynn—marriage gone very very wrong. Add another very.
I get my audios free from Overdrive—subscribed to by my library. Start with your library's website—see if you can download. I have a dinky little $25 MP3 player that works fine—we hooked up speakers—I hate headphones.
Ooops—I am not training. Ya got me!
These are also good for car trips--unless you or the kiddies hate gore.
Of course, books with no gore are a possibility.

|Mergers & Acquisitions
November 30, 2011
The proposed acquisition of troubled FinBank by First City Monument Bank (FCMB) has suffered a major setback, investigations have shown.
This followed recent discovery of hidden bad loans and huge debt profile of the troubled bank.
A source at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) yesterday in Lagos said that debt issue was responsible for the delay in approving the two months old take-over bid.
The source, who pleaded anonymity, said "Finbank has numerous issues, especially bad loans that need to be addressed."
The source, who declined to provide details of the bad loans, added that the bank had hidden and questionable transactions that must be resolved urgently.
He said stakeholders in the take-over bid, especially SEC, had agreed on finding a lasting solution to the debt overhang in Finbank before the endorsement of the banks' business combination.
Mr Kenny Aliu, FCMB Group Head, Corporate Communications, said in a telephone interview that things were going according to plans in terms of timing of completing the transaction.
"We like doing things thoroughly. Currently we are going over the final details of the transaction.
"In our view, the transaction is seamless and everything is on track as far as our relationship with all relevant regulators is concerned.
"Everything is going on track; there is no cause for concern. We are not aware of any setback. It has not being communicated to us," he said. (NAN)
The shareholders of FCMB, had on Sept. 29, approved the bank's acquisition of Finbank through its subsidiary, FCMB Investments Ltd.
The shareholders, also at the court-ordered Extra Ordinary General Meeting (EGM), endorsed the issuance and allotment of the bank's shares or payment of cash to the shareholders of Finbank. (NAN).

The new They Might Be Giants album "No" is awesome!!!!!
I'll almost trolled somebodies thread. But then I realized that trolling is:
1. mean
2. a waste of everyone's time
3. gives more attention to a topic that I don't like
4. Is out of character and reflects poorely on me.
So I just wanted to show off what I nice person I am, and self-righteously pat myself on the back. Look at me I'm perfect!

Ummm... If they were so easy to manage, why were there people running around shooting them while they were out killing people?

That line from HP is great.
If I were to become suddenly wealthy, I think I would splurge a little on public service annoucements on TV. My spot would serve to tell people how to correctly merge onto a freeway, including such difficult and complicated procedures as
I'd also want to raise awareness about the risk an individual puts on the lives of everyone around them when they fail to obey this procedure.
Of course, splurging a little could lead to more. I'd probably find myself wanting to cover such topics as
Take the next fucking exit
Why you shouldn't cut across 5 lanes of traffic because you're about to miss your exit or worse, reverse on the freeway.
Highway speeds and you
If driving in the left lanes typically used for faster traffic, please maintain at least the speed limit.
Slower traffic keep right, WTF?

I wonder how many people prefer to take their lunch break early in the day, versus those who take it as late as possible in order to be almost ready to go by the time they get back...
How is it possible that I can do Cryptograms and crosswords with impunity, but constantly lose to my wife at Scrabble?
I am one of those people that takes lunch as late as possible. It breaks up the day and I am the type of person that I'd rather get the worse out of the way first.

last year, there was a really, really, really good looking girl whom I was checking out as I walked to class. She wasn't the typical "skank-like" beauty either, she was take her home to mom, and mom will say "Jebus, she's hot. Why does she want anything to do with you?" beautiful. I was at least 100 ft away, and just by the way she was interacting with her friend, I could tell she was an interesting person(read not dumb as a board). I had to pass right by her in order to take the most efficient route to class, so I was delighted. I'm an admirer of great beauty, and sometimes it inspires me to write mediocre poems.
I passed right by her without looking because it's rude to stare at people, and a lot of women think you're imagining them naked if you do so. I never imagine them naked while I'm looking, nor do I get aroused. It's like looking at art albeit natural. As I passed, I hear her say "hello." I turned around, and I saw her wonderful smile. At this point, I wasn't sure she was talking to me(I'm never sure) but another second passes, and she still has this wonderful smile on her face. I then proceed to sort of mumble "hello" under my breath, shrug, and walk on. As I turn to walk away, I see her get a very confused look on her face, and I go off to Geology.
I'm very skeptical, and although I'm terribly weird once you get to know me, I look fairly normal, some would say "uptight" (see my profile pic). There have been instances where strange women have come up to me, and said strange things in what I assume are efforts to confuse "the man" I suppose. Living in a large city also means that people are not friendly, so I'm not used to people just coming out of nowhere and greeting me. When I was in the Carolinas over last summer, I found it very strange that people would just greet each other on the streets as they passed. In any case, I regret that in the instances where women have greeted me, I haven't been friendly to them. In that most recent instance, I feel quite poorly about it because afaik, she didn't know I was looking at her previously, and she wanted to talk, but I just thought it was so strange that I turned away. I wonder what would have happened if I had stayed and talked...
Sumthingorother, there are different cultures in different areas of the country. Those cultures will mix in colleges where you have people from all over together. In Texas, it was common to hold the door open for someone, to say Hi to strangers and just be friendly. Out here in California, it just seems to confuse people.
Your post makes it sound like you're very distrustful of others, expecting any interaction from them to be some form of attack. If so, you gotta get over that and give people a chance. The coolest people you've ever met were strangers before you knew them.
It's a sad commentary when the most interesting thing on Friday night TV appears to be a show on the Telemundo channel called, I think, "El Clon". Please note I do not understand a word of Spanish. Nevertheless, the plot and characters seemed far more interesting than anything I ever see on U.S. TV.
I've also noted that Spanish TV shows seem to include children far more often than American ones do. This says something very interesting about the comparison between the two cultures, although I have no idea what that something might be.
Now I'm spending my Friday nights analyzing TV shows in languages I don't understand. I think that's another sad commentary....

On the way to work, for about a half mile I was behind a car doing 20 in a 40 zone. I would have passed him if it was anywhere else, but on Montlake Bvd. leading up to the bridge, getting back into the right hand lane after leaving it would be difficult.
Oh yeah, and yesterday my dad fell off his bike because he was trying to stop and talk on a cell phone at the same time. He only grabbed one brake and it turned out to be the front one, and his steering got hosed and he went over. Luckily he only came out of it with a few scrapes (since he was almost stopped anyway), but he feels like an idiot for not throwing his cellphone down when he saw that he was about to crash. It's unfortunate when people find out that they are not somehow immune to behaviors that they loathe in others.

If I could figure out how to build a company where everyone could communicate via email, everyone had a private office, and basically no one had or even really *could* talk to each other -- yet deadlines could be enforced and have the work flow productively... Then I could employ only introverts who would be so estastic at finally being able to just work without all the social crap that they'd be a hugely stable workforce... And soon I would rule this planet with a grip of steel.
Dude, that is awesome. I mean, it sucks that it is that way, but it is awesome funny.

On the way to work this morning, the freeway onramp was backed up almost onto the connecting freeway with about a 10 minute wait to get through due to the metering lights. After about 7 minutes as I was nearing my turn to go, an SUV flew down the right shoulder around everyone to take off with the next bunch.
At first I was upset. Who was this asshole who thinks he's so much more important to the rest of us? Doesn't he realize that his attempts to circumvent traffic contribute to more congestion and increase risk to himself and others? Does he really think that the rest of us are just waiting because we haven't noticed that we could do the same thing?
Then I got a little nudge from God and noticed a different perspective. Out of the 50 or so cars waiting to get on the freeway, there was only one asshole taking advantage of the shoulder. That meant there were 49 decent people there. Then I thought about my normal traffic rants on the way to work and realized the same held true. The world isn't so bad since the assholes are still in the minority. Lets just hope they don't realize it and start lobbying for special protections.
High schools need to have air conditioning installed in them... especially if they expect me to work in them when it's over 90 out and there is no breeze 1000000000 miles from here.

Our high school had a state-of-the-art "air circulation" system that cost way too much money. So in the afternoons we opened the windows. When summer came with it's 80 degree weather (which the WA people complain about but is so sweet to a Texan) and the gentle cool breeze blowing through the peach blossoms right outside the window into our world literature class at the end of the day (1-2pm, getting out of high school at 2pm rocked), it was rather difficult to stay awake and complete reading assignments. I remember one day having trouble staying awake and between nodding off I noticed that the entire class was asleep and not even bothering to hide it. Our teacher was just working on grading some assignments. It was nice to have a teacher that realized we weren't intentionally sleeping, but that it was just near impossible to stay awake in that environment without some strong stimulation.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) – Neighbors and members of the broader community gathered for a second time outside the home of the young mother who was killed by a stray bullet in Gate City earlier this week.
We're getting a better picture of what the victim, Sheri Williams was like and what she wanted from life. Police say her life was cut short by a stray bullet in the doorway of her home, while she held her newborn son.
Her mother, Rinda Williams, says stray bullets had been fired in the direction of the home in the past.
She says Sheri Williams had recently finished school and wanted to become a police officer. She also says her daughter was afraid of the violence in Gate City and wanted to move.
It's a heartbreaking story and paints a mental picture that has stunned the community in a town that's seen more than its fair share of violent crime.
One neighbor who was collecting money in a jar for the family and signatures on a sympathy card says it could just as easily have been his mother.
Several neighbors we spoke with want to take a stand against crime in the Marks Village Housing Project, but they say they could use some help.
"We need more police presence and a substation would really, really help," said Bettye Covington.
They also want more streetlights.
The Vice President Resident Counselor of Marks Village, Mario Brown, said they would need backup from the Housing Authority to eradicate crime.
"Moving is not an option for a lot of people. We have a lot of families with small children who wants to, who wants to basically leave this community and this property here, but It's more like we're bound here because of your income or because of your family's circumstances maybe. So it's like a little hell to a lot of people that live in this community," said Brown. "I think for the most part here what happens is that the women that allow the guys to sell drugs out of their house or what have you should be at least put out, should be removed from the property and the ones with all the disturbances should be removed, however that just doesn't happen all the time. It's, it's almost like it's overlooked sometimes and we need those people out of here, everyone that would cause harm to this community and families- out. We need them out."
They don't want to release any more balloons for anyone else's daughter, mother, neighbor, or friend.
"We can take care of what little we got, we can feel like we're somebody, because I do," said Christine Wynn.
The Williams family has been struggling to find a way to pay for the funeral and it sounds as though the community is responding to their needs.
One of the organizers of the Thursday vigil said that a memorial service is tenatively planned for Saturday May. 11th at Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church in Avondale, but firm details will be announced later on.
Organizers of the Thursday vigil said another gathering is planned outside Sheri Williams home on Friday, May 3rd at 6 p.m.

Relaxed or permed hair is very delicate because it has been chemically straightened. If you perm your hair too often, it can result in breakage or thinning hair. "Stretching" your relaxer is a wonderful way to maintain the length of your hair and to lessen the effects of over-processing from chemical usage. When you "stretch" your relaxer, it simply means that you're lengthening the date until it's time for your next relaxer. This is done in an effort to accumulate lots of new growth and thickness. Many ladies on healthy hair journeys utilize this technique to achieve excessive growth, if their hair has been relaxed.
You'd be surprised how easily breakage could occur simply by doing your daily hair care routine. Things that we are accustomed to doing such as combing or brushing hair can lead to breakage when your hair has been relaxed and you're working with two different textures. When stretching your relaxer, you are dealing with your new growth, which is your natural hair coming out of your scalp. Your relaxed ends are the parts that have been exposed to the relaxer. The point at which the new growth and the relaxed hair meet could be called "the line of demarcation." Staying mindful of how delicate the line of demarcation is and handling your hair with care can help you retain length.
Below are some tips to help you achieve a successful relaxer stretch:
1. Use a wide tooth comb!
Start combing hair from the ends and gently work your way up to the scalp to avoid breakage.
If you use a fine tooth comb to do this, you will do nothing except lose lots of your hair.
2. Use a good detangler!
A spray-on detangler is perfect for the line of demarcation, but also for your relaxed ends. It can be very difficult to comb hair while it's wet. You don't want to disturb the peaceful unity between your new growth and relaxed ends, so a good detangler will provide slip and allow you to easily comb through any stubborn knots. An example of a detangler is the Mane 'n Tale Detangler.
3. Use sulfate-free shampoo!
Sulfates are detergents. Many cleaning products on the market contain them. Sulfates can be very harsh when used in hair products such as shampoo. These hair detergents provide a good "lather" when you shampoo your hair. Realistically speaking, the lather is actually breaking down your hair and making it weak. This occurs if you use sulfate shampoos too often. Sulfate shampoos are okay to use from time to time if you want a deep clean to remove buildup, but overuse will cause your hair to become excessively dry and frizzy. This is NOT a good thing for relaxed hair, or any hair for that matter.
4. Deep condition hair often!
Deep conditioning hair provides penetration of moisture deep into the hair strands to repair damaged hair and improve the appearance of ends. The moisture from a deep conditioner serves to improve all 3 layers of the hair strand (medulla, cortex, and cuticle).
5. Moisturize and seal!
This step is vital in preventing hair breakage. Hair should be moisturized and sealed daily. Step one: is to moisturize hair with a good "water based" moisturizer. It's water based if the word "water" or "aqua" is the 1st ingredient in the list on the back label. Step two: is to immediately seal the moisture in your hair strands using a small amount of oil. With relaxed hair, you probably should stick to light carrier oils. Examples include: coconut oil, grapeseed oil, or sweet almond oil.
6. Trim ends only as needed!
Over-trimming hair can prevent you from achieving progress on your hair growth journey. From time to time, you should do an evaluation of your ends and trim the very tip as needed. Lots of women trim after a relaxer because that's when they have more hair growth and can afford to lose a quarter of an inch of hair if necessary. However, if your ends are extremely thin, it is best to let them go and get a precision trim to even the length for healthier hair growth. If you don't trim hair from time to time, the split ends will continue to split all the way up your hair shaft and cause tremendous breakage.
7. Utilize protective styles!
A protective style is any creative style that protects the ends of your hair by keeping them pinned up or tucked in away from weather or other types of environmental damage. Sometimes, even a knit top can catch strands of your hair and gradually break them off strand by strand. Imagine how much hair you would lose if you wore a top that did this to your hair all day! Examples of protective styles include: buns, updos, ponytails, french braids, fishtail ponytails, and the list goes on. Get creative!
8. Wrap hair up at night!
This is one of the most important steps for ladies who are on a hair growth journey. Always wrap your hair up at night, preferably with a silk or satin scarf! When you're asleep at night, your hair breaks off by rubbing against your pillowcase throughout the night. A satin scarf prevents this from happening. If you don't feel comfortable with a scarf, you can use a satin pillowcase.
9. Balance hair between protein and moisture!
For example, if you deep condition your hair with moisture based products one week, alternate the next week with protein based products. Protein provides strength to the hair. Too much protein in your hair regimen can lead to dryness and breakage. On the other hand, your hair can also break if it has too much moisture and isn't strong enough.
10. **Take supplements
A hair, skin, and nail vitamin is generally sufficient for anyone who wants to encourage healthy hair growth. Some other supplements also provide benefits for the hair, such as: Fish oil, MSM, B-complex, *Biotin, Gelatin, vitamin E, vitamin C, and etc. *Beware that Biotin may cause terrible cystic acne breakouts in some people. **As with any supplement, please speak with your physician before starting any supplement regimen.
Following the tips above may help you to complete a successful relaxer stretch with minimum setbacks, if any at all. Be patient with your hair because it will thank you later!

Shutdown over, debt ceiling lifted — Shutdown's effects on science still unclear
By Alex Guillén
With help from Darius Dixon
Story Continued Below
FEDERAL WORKERS ORDERED TO RETURN THIS MORNING: Shortly after midnight, President Barack Obama signed the deal passed by Congress ending the shutdown and raising the debt ceiling, signaling the way for employees at EPA, Interior, the NRC and elsewhere to return to work today — in fact, "employees should expect to return to work in the morning," OMB Director Sylvia Mathews Burwell said in a quick statement late last night (Burwell's succinct guidance on reopening: http://1.usa.gov/1fEqO2f). Agencies also moved quickly; the message on EPA's shutdown hotline was changed at 11:30 p.m. last night instructing EPA employees to return to work today.
WINTER IS COMING: Of course, the deal only funds the government through Jan. 15, and pushes the debt ceiling to about Feb. 7 — so there's a chance we could come full circle in another few months.
WHAT THE WONKS WANT TO KNOW: While much of DOE has remained open thanks to rainy day funds and other sources of cash, the Energy Information Administration had to call it last Friday. So what does that mean for the EIA reports on things like gasoline prices, coal production and oil and natural gas reserves? DOE referred ME to EIA's spokesman, who was furloughed — so we won't know until later.
What everyone else wants to know: The National Zoo's Pandacam will be up and running today. Darren Samuelsohn has more: http://politi.co/H4NUjh
NO ENERGY RIDERS IN SHUTDOWN/DEBT DEAL — THIS TIME: The deal doesn't approve Keystone XL or derail EPA regulations. But that doesn't mean those measures won't return to the mix before all is said and done. Besides reopening the government through Jan. 15 and lifting the debt ceiling through Feb. 7, the legislation sets up a bicameral budget committee to develop a conference report by Dec. 13. And it's that broader budget agreement where Republicans could try to fire shots at EPA climate change regulations and the Obama administration's review of Keystone XL, as well as push their plans to expand domestic oil and gas production. Darren Goode previews what Republicans are planning: http://politico.pro/15LajMd
DOESN'T INCLUDE REIMBURSING STATES FOR PARK OPENINGS: The deal won't repay the states for kicking in funds to the National Park Service to open national parks and monuments during the shutdown. According to the deals between the Interior Department and the states, Congress would need to specifically authorize the repayment of any money spent that states had donated to fund the sites — which it could still do at a later date. Goode has more: http://politi.co/1bXyuMv
SHUTDOWN'S EFFECTS ON SCIENCE JUST BEGINNING: The government may finally be on a path to reopening, but the shutdown's effects will linger for scientists studying everything from climate change to cancer. One prime example: Antarctica-bound field researchers stuck in budget limbo over the past three weeks fret that decades of data on penguins and ice sheets will end up with a glaring gap, undercutting their documentation of global warming. Darren Samuelsohn runs it down: http://politi.co/1gNIdVf
But wait, there's more: It's looking like State Department and other agency officials won't be able to make it to an international meeting next week that was set to approve the creation of a huge marine sanctuary in Antarctica — potentially pushing back the sanctuary's creation until next year. AP: http://abcn.ws/1gkejKr
A DAY LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT, WILDLIFE ADVOCATE SAYS: The shutdown may end soon, but the damage from the last two weeks and the sequester budget cuts is done, says Adam Kolton of the National Wildlife Federation. The Fish and Wildlife Service just yesterday had to cancel this year's National Wildlife Refuge Week, along with hundreds of related events around the U.S., Kolton said.
— NRDC President Frances Beinecke didn't have any kind words, either, writing in a blog post last night that environmentalists should "gird [themselves] for the battle ahead." "People who care about health and the environment must be vigilant in the coming months. We have to let lawmakers know how much we value government programs that safeguard the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the places we love." More: http://bit.ly/1aPyjNN
NON-SHUTDOWN NEWS — CONFIRMED: Besides re-opening the government last night, the Senate also confirmed several people, including Bradley Crowell to be assistant Energy secretary for congressional and intergovernmental affairs and Beth Cobert to be deputy director for management at OMB.
HAPPY THURSDAY and welcome to Morning Energy, where this news about a very much alive man being stuck as legally dead ( http://nyti.ms/H58ro7) is making your morning host wonder if maybe we should dump democracy in favor of strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords.

BOOKER WINS SENATE SEAT: Democrat Cory Booker won yesterday's special election to fill Frank Lautenberg's seat in the Senate with a comfortable 10-point spread. (More on that here: http://politi.co/15K2INL). The League of Conservation Voters quickly congratulated Booker. "Cory Booker's victory shows that America is ready for a new generation of leaders who are committed to combating climate change and investing in our nation's clean energy future," said LCV President Gene Karpinski.
Next stop, EPW? Pros will remember Hawaii Democrat Mazie Hirono joined the Environment and Public Works Committee temporarily after Lautenberg's death in June — potentially leaving Lautenberg's old seat warm for Booker. And Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid hinted that Sen. Booker might focus on climate issues. "We saw him work tirelessly through the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, tending personally to the city's residents. At the same time, Cory is deeply engaged on issues of national import, such as climate change and economic development," Reid said. "I look forward to working with a man who is a problem solver and is ready to tackle our nation's most pressing problems."
INFLUENCE DELAYED IS INFLUENCE DENIED: Yesterday's edition of Morning Energy promised the next installment of the Pros-only campaign finance and lobbying column Energy Influence — but Pros may have noticed it didn't hit their inboxes. Your morning host must apologize; yesterday's breaking news kept EI from getting published on time, but Pro subscribers should watch for a jam-packed edition later today, including: which lawmaker got money from a Koch brother, which chairman raised more last quarter than over the same period in 2011 and which candidates got money from Murray Energy's PAC.
In other influence news: Via the Denver Post: "Groups opposing four anti-fracking measures have campaign contributions of $606,205, 99.7 percent of which came from the Colorado Oil and Gas Association, reports filed by Tuesday show. The sum is nearly 40 times more than the $15,725.36 raised by groups attempting to limit drilling in Fort Collins, Boulder, Lafayette and Broomfield." DP: http://bit.ly/16bW5X9
UPTON, WALDEN GO AFTER EPA REGS: Just hours before voting on the shutdown/debt deal, House Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton and Rep. Greg Walden took to the Wall Street Journal's editorial pages to slam Obama over regulatory red tape — including EPA rules for emissions from future and existing power plants. "Together, these two salvos are expected to prevent construction of new power plants and shut down existing plants, destroying jobs in the manufacturing, coal-mining and rail industries. Consumers will foot the bill through higher energy bills," the duo write. Upton and Walden also ding Obama for taking credit for booms in oil and natural gas production, a common argument from Republicans and industry. More: http://on.wsj.com/1bXwXFW
TRANSCANADA EXPECTS KXL DECISION IN FIRST QUARTER: Via Bloomberg: "TransCanada … expects a U.S. ruling on the Keystone XL pipeline in the first quarter of 2014. The current U.S. government shutdown isn't causing a 'material delay' in the State Department's review of the $5.3 billion pipeline, Alex Pourbaix, TransCanada's president of energy and oil pipelines, said today at a conference in Calgary, where the company is based. TransCanada expects a final environmental impact statement from the department 'this fall,' he said. 'It does appear a lot of the work is getting done at the agencies,' Pourbaix told reporters." Bloomberg: http://bloom.bg/GRkXHX
FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH: Thirty-one percent of Americans agree with the statement that EPA should stay closed, even if other agencies reopen, while 69 percent disagree, according to an NRDC poll conducted by Public Policy Polling on Oct. 11 and 12. The poll also found that 30 percent would view a politician more favorably if he or she said it's a good thing for EPA to be closed, while 70 percent said they would view that politician less favorably. NRDC will release the full results at noon.
INSIDE TODAY'S FERC MEETING: FERC hasn't skipped a beat during the government shutdown, and would've held its monthly meeting today even if vast swaths of federal agencies were still going without paychecks. Admittedly though, today's commission meeting is not exactly action-packed. FERC leaders have one rulemaking on the agenda: Whether or not to combine four electric transmission reliability standards so that regulators and industry can move forward on reliability proposals. There will also be more information about the agency's efforts to improve coordination between the electric and natural gas markets. The meeting starts at 10 a.m. at FERC HQ, 888 First St. NE.

IS JUDGE JUDY AVAILABLE? Southern California Edison upped its fight with Mitsubishi late yesterday, announcing that it's asked the International Chamber of Commerce to open an arbitration proceeding in its months-long contract dispute. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries designed and manufactured replacement steam generators for Edison that eventually crippled both reactors at Edison's San Onofre nuclear plant last year, ultimately sending them into an early retirement. Edison says it's aiming for arbitration because its "Notice of Dispute" this summer ( http://politico.pro/1a7LhYi) "did not produce a resolution."

GREEN GROUP DINGS GREENGROCERS ON HFCS: Supermarkets are major sources of hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs, a potent greenhouse gas used in refrigerators and air conditioners — but the biggest U.S. supermarkets aren't doing enough to stop leaks or transition to alternatives, according to a report out today from the Environmental Investigation Agency, a green NGO. "Supermarkets typically have leak rates of 25% per year or more, but proper leak detection and maintenance can reduce this rate to less than 10%," it says. "This would result in total emission reductions of millions of tons of carbon dioxide equivalent a year." Read: http://politico.pro/173CwkA

** You wouldn't invest your life savings in just one stock. So why would America risk everything on a single transportation fuel? No matter how much oil we produce or where we produce it, having only one source to power our cars, trucks, trains and barges makes us vulnerable to a volatile global market.
America's first commercially produced advanced biofuel, biodiesel, is here, now — growing and diversifying our transportation energy portfolio. In fact, biodiesel producers have delivered more than a billion gallons of advanced biofuel the past two years running.

It's Romeo & Chelsie's turn to appear on Ellen today.
It's Romeo & Chelsie's turn to appear on Ellen today.
Loved Romeo's dance tonight. He totally nailed the tango, and am glad he got that redemption. I'll admit I'll be worried yet again this week for his chances, as I think it may come down to him and Ralph. I was even impressed with his insta-dance. I'm biased, but it was my favorite of the night in that category (well, besides Hines). But his tango was just the comeback he needed after his samba last week. He and Chelsie are just too cute together. I'm so glad for her to have another fun partner after last season with Bolton and then with Jake. It makes me wonder how Romeo would have been had he been able to compete in season two like he was originally supposed to. I feel sorry Ashly got stuck with his lug of a father, but I wonder if he would have been as good and likable back then as he is now.
I might be in the minority, but I did not enjoy their second dance tonight. Even Chelsie conceded it feel apart near the end. I think Len was generous with the 9 he gave them. I would not mind if they left tomorrow night, but they have picked up several fans these past couple of weeks who are voting for them to stay. With Ralph's injury this pair might just make the finals now.
"Treat others the way you want to be treated."
It would have been AWESOME if the insta-dance had included a bit of the Pee Wee Herman dance moves from when PW danced to "Tequila" in the biker bar in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.
I'm crushed these two are gone I was really hoping they'd make it to the finals, but I worried Romeo might be in trouble once it got down to this point. He kept surprising me by making it through, so after last week's samba mess I thought he might have a shot at lasting longer. I'll miss them next week. They were such a fun duo, and Chelsie deserved after the last two she had. I loved seeing Romeo grow during this process. His exit was extremely classy. The judges, especially CA, seemed genuinely shocked. I think they were expecting Ralph.
How sad is it that I can recite that whole exchange with Francis from memory If they put Mark in a gray suit with the bow tie, he'd be the spitting image. Or more like Pee-Wee's scruffy evil twin, with the piercings, tattoos, and foul mouth.Well Mark does like wearing flood pants to show off his light-colored socks and spats, so it would make sense to put him in a close-plaid suit with a red bow tie, red lipsticks and greased back hair!
P.S. I know you are, but what am I?
Romeo proved himself as a mature, classy, young man with that exit. Had to laugh at the plugs till the end. That boy never stops promoting his projects I liked seeing his progression and improvement throughout the season. I wasn't surprised he went, but had hoped he'd manage to stick it out till the finals. Would've been wonderful to finally see Chelsie get to the end, but alas, it was not to be. Don't really have a preference for the winner now, as long as it's not whiney boy and his Disney sidekick. That would just be wrong.

Keynes and Capitalism
We analyze Keynes's thoughts on capitalism by focusing on what he wrote on the topic, using the Collected Writings, taken as a whole, together with some unpublished material to tackle three issues: what Keynes meant by capitalism; the fragility of capitalism; and the morality of capitalism. In doing this, we juxtapose materials written at different stages of his career. While the context and the theoretical framework within which Keynes developed his economic thinking changed substantially, our argument is that beneath these many changes in his circumstances and analytical frame lay a remarkably consistent attitude toward capitalism, an attitude in which morality was central. This view of capitalism is linked with the personal values that animated his life, especially the values that he shared with the other members of Bloomsbury.

Newcomers spin storage network silicon
Post a comment
SAN JOSE, Calif. The arrival of new companies and chips this week will fatten the emerging category of merchant silicon for storage networks. Astute Networks will detail the first of a coming generation of 10-Gbit/second storage processors at the Network Processors Conference West here, as several others announce chips geared for today's Gigabit Ethernet and 2-Gbit Fibre Channel networks and as two startups declare plans to produce serial ATA switches for low-end hard disk arrays.
At least a dozen newcomers, most founded toward the end of the dot-com bubble, are chasing the opportunity for merchant semiconductor accelerators for storage protocols and applications, vying with half a dozen entrenched vendors and in-house ASIC designs. But all face deep uncertainties because of the current slowdown in spending on business networks and the downturn's still-unclear impact on expected technology shifts.
Most of the upstarts are targeting an expected transition to Ethernet storage networks from Fibre Channel or direct-attached storage. While some point to an uptick in OEM design activity in this sector, the transition has already seen a year's delay, and the horizon for real end-user sales of Ethernet-based storage systems is probably 2004 or beyond, analysts said.
"No Fortune 100 company has made any commitment to deploy iSCSI [the storage term for Internet Protocol] in any major way. The business proposition for iSCSI is still being worked out," said Sean Lavey, an analyst with International Data Corp. (Framingham, Mass.) who notes early 1-Gbit iSCSI server cards cost about $500, nearly the same as 2-Gbit Fibre Channel cards.
"The market is in such a premature stage that there will still be several changes before winners and losers emerge," said Jag Bolaria, a senior analyst with The Linley Group (Mountain View, Calif.). "Today you could say Trebia Networks and Silverback Systems are winners because they are here with products, but a year from now we could see products from a whole pack of companies that aren't saying much now."
The long-term outlook for storage chips remains upbeat, thanks to an ever-rising tide of e-mail and Web data. Indeed, some market watchers forecast that businesses ultimately will spend more on storage than on computing. But given the number of emerging players many with innovative ideas but almost all needing another round of funding before they achieve sustainable revenues uncertainty defines the short term.
Architecturally, the new entries span from hardwired implementations, focused on performance and offering their own applications programming interfaces and C library function calls, to implementations based on arrays of general-purpose processor cores that could tap more off-the-shelf development tools. Few clear performance metrics exist for the group, and even the underlying applications requirements are uncertain, given the still young, diverse and fragmented nature of storage systems and networks.
The 10-Gbit crowd
Perhaps the most noteworthy of the new entrants is Astute (San Diego), the first of a crop of startups aiming at network storage processors with 10-Gbit capability. At the Network Processors Conference (NPC), Astute will launch its Pericles processor, aimed at handling a variety of protocols (including TCP, Fibre Channel and iSCSI) for a range of systems, from storage switches, gateways and servers to the converged Fibre Channel-Ethernet storage systems under design.
Pericles takes a hybrid approach, using hardwired protocol-processing blocks for such tasks as frame parsing, state management and flow coherency and tapping an array of ten 32-bit Tensilica RISC cores, running at 267 MHz, to process user-defined storage protocols or applications. Astute provides flow keys for any combination of user-defined protocols or traffic types. OEMs use the chip's API and C-programming libraries and tools blend in their own storage applications for those flows.
"We could have used any cores but decided to use Tensilica because we really liked their tool set," said Allyn Pon, director of customer marketing for Astute.
The chip is made in a 130-nanometer process at an unidentified foundry. It comes in a 720-pin ball-grid array and will sample this year. The company declined to provide pricing and die size.
Astute has racked up two major design wins. Agilent has licensed Astute's technology and will deploy it on its next-generation multiport iSCSI host bus adapters, then develop its own variants of the chip to sell to HBA and network storage systems makers.
"We looked at six or seven TOE [TCP offload engine] suppliers. With the Astute core we think we are in better shape to scale to 10G than anyone," said Bob Hansen, director of strategic marketing for Agilent's storage-networking group. "They have done a good job incorporating a finite state architecture with flexible cores, making it relatively easy to add remote direct memory access technology in the future, and they have very, very high performance."
Astute also has a design win in a next-generation storage controller from Pirus Networks (Acton, Mass.), recently acquired by Sun Microsystems' storage group.
Astute's road map is still unclear, and chief executive officer Tom Sennhauser said the company likely will need at least one more round of venture funding.
Nonetheless, Astute has "the most powerful product that will be available in the short term," said analyst Bolaria.
Indeed, Astute appears to be a step ahead of a pack of 10-Gbit Ethernet storage processor players, most of which probably won't emerge for 12 months. They include Aarohi Communications Inc. (San Jose), Chelsio Communications (Sunnyvale, Calif.), iVivity Inc. (Norcross, Ga.) and Siliquent Technologies Inc. (Tel Aviv, Israel). One anomaly in the group is Le Wiz, which appears to be focused on an intermediate generation 4-Gbit processor and is said to have a beta customer in trials, but few details are available from the company, Bolaria said.
The Gigabit group
Among the 1-Gbit competitors, Trebia (Acton, Mass.) will roll out its first three chips at NPC, fielding the broadest array of products of any startup in its class.
The SNP-1000 aims to bridge two Gigabit Ethernet storage links to a single 2-Gbit Fibre Channel network. The SNP-1000i is just the TCP offload portion of that chip and is aimed at a broad range of storage systems. The SNP-500 adds dual serializer/deserializer blocks and a RISC core to the 1000 to create a more integrated, programmable storage processor.
The protocol processor at the heart of the 1000 and 500 chips is a state machine based on two ingress/egress pairs of proprietary 256-bit VLIW cores running at 125 MHz. The part kicks out up to 350,000 I/Os per second and requires 32 to 64 Mbytes of board-level memory. The 180-nm chip packs 86 million transistors and comes in a 696-pin package. It is sampling now and costs $335 in volume.
LSI Logic Corp. and three other companies have active designs with the Trebia parts, mainly in host-bus adapters, and at least one of the OEMs is shipping sample subsystems this year, said Brendon Howe, vice president of marketing at Trebia.
Trebia competes with a handful of other relatively new companies, including Silverback, which was among the first storage-networking startups to detail its silicon.
Also joining the fray is iReady Corp., which got its start designing intellectual property cores for embedded TCP. At NPC, the company will announce its first chip, developed with partner National Semiconductor Corp. The EMX 1000+i is a TCP/iSCSI processor that differentiates itself by integrating a Gigabit Ethernet PHY and hardware support for IPsec.
Chief executive Ryo Koyama said the EMX is a full state machine implementation that gets 1-Gbit/s performance with a 64-bit engine using a streaming-style execution at a pedestrian 50-MHz clock rate. It will scale that clock up to handle multiport versions next year and a 10-Gbit version in 2004. The EMX requires 32 to 64 Mbytes of off-chip memory to handle packet acknowledgement.
National and iReady will both sell the part, which is made in National's 180-nm process, when it samples in January.
Also at NPC, Seaway Networks Inc. (Ottawa) will sketch out the Streamwise technology behind its upcoming network content processors, which handle TCP termination and higher-layer processing and use a HyperTransport interface. The company, founded by a former Nortel Networks chip design team, is targeting a number of applications outside storage processing.
"We have a keen focus on the security area," said marketing manager Steve Goodman.
But analyst Bolaria said he believes Seaway is "struggling with what they want to disclose. That may indicate they are not sure themselves where they want to be yet."
Among other storage-networking startups, Aristos Logic is focused on today's mainstream Fibre Channel networks . And at least two companies APT Technologies Inc. (Santa Cruz, Calif.) and Sierra Logic Inc. (Roseville, Calif.) are aiming at low-end arrays linked by the emerging serial ATA specification.
