Perhaps the Liverpool boys swim team did not get everything it wanted out of its trip to Webster Schroeder High School in the Rochester suburbs, where the state championship meet took place.
But freshman Nick Burdo and junior Garrett Clarke both posted top-five finishes, and the Warriors finished eighth in the overall team standings, sixth among public schools.
Burdo would make his mark in the 100-yard freestyle. Having qualified 47.59 seconds (10th going into the meet), he lowered that total by nearly a second, to 46.82, in the opening round on Friday, rising to seventh place and earning a berth in Saturday's state final.
Then Burdo improved again in that championship race, his time of 46.30 seconds just missing the school record (46.24) set by Tom Lewandowski 30 years ago and putting him in fifth place in the state. Victory's Jeffrey William won the race in 44.73 seconds.
All of this followed an appearance in the 200 freestyle where Burdo was 24th in the qualifying round in 1:46.03 (improving from 1:46.94 entering the meet), only to false start on Saturday and not place, fueling him to his fast 100 free effort.
As for Clarke, he arrived at Webster Schroeder as the top-seeded favorite in the 100 breaststroke, having twice broken the Section III record in that event during the sectional meets and state qualifier Feb. 14 and 16, lowering that mark to 56.52 seconds.
In the qualifying round Friday, Clarke, battling illness, still managed 57.30 seconds and reached the finals with the fourth-fastest time, trailing Section III rival Mike Netto (Watertown), who was third in 57.15 seconds, and two others.
Clarke could not recover in time for the finals on Saturday. Though his time improved to 57.12 seconds, it only got him fifth place, ahead of Netto in eighth (57.84), but behind Huntington's Gunther Cassell, who won the state title in 56.24 seconds.
In the 200 medley relay, Clarke, Burdo, Dan Hens and Troy Miller qualified fourth in 1:37.11, setting a school record after doing a best time of 1:37.90 during the season. In the finals, the Warriors would claim fifth place, slowing down just a bit to 1:37.14, with Pittsford prevailing in 1:34.47.
Drew Henry joined Clarke, Hens and Burdo to help the Warriors qualify 12th in the 400 freestyle relay in 3:16.80, and the quartet improved to 3:15.29 in the finals, though it still only meant 12th place. Fordham won the race in 3:05.61.
Clarke, Hens, Drew Henry and Liam Henry were 25th in the 200 freestyle relay in 1:30.22, unable to advance despite speeding up from the 1:30.99 with which it qualified.
Junior Dan Roche, Liverpool's top diver, was fifth after the preliminary round with 225.25 points, just behind Mexico star Nick Rodriguez in fourth. But Roche struggled in the finals and settled for 12th place with 438.35 points as Rodriguez, with a tremendous finish, won the state championship by picking up 504.55 total points. Roche's teammate, Shayne Watson, was 45th and did not reach the finals.

The last TIE fighter by Igor Tkac.
With the Imperial fleet diminishing and Imperial bases around various systems compromised, out of desperation, Vader ordered a secret factory to build a new radical TIE fighter to combat the rebel alliance.
Code named the SS TRESHER, this Twin Ion Engine fighter was bigger, faster and more powerful then its earlier predecessors with spinning guns being its most notable characteristic.
Only four TRESHERS were ever built and three of those were aboard the Death Star when it was destroyed.
Han Solo once admitted to REBELS magazine that it was him and not Chewbacca who crapped his pants while evading a TRESHER spinner a few parsecs from Mos Eisley. He was quoted as saying, "I've never spun the Falcon so many times".
It is rumored that there is one last TRESHER TIE remaining, buried deep in a destroyed Imperial base on the Forest Moon of Endor.

Provenance Research Project
The history of ownership and collecting is intimately connected with the history of art and is taken especially seriously by museums based upon private collections, such as the Clark Art Institute. Since the inception of the Institute in 1955, the curatorial staff has compiled a wealth of information not only on the collecting interests of Sterling and Francine Clark, but also on the history of ownership, or provenance, of the works they acquired. This research has continued over the years as the Institute's collection has expanded. It is available to the public and speaks to a range of issues related to the art market, patronage, and the history of taste over many generations. As we prepare our upcoming catalogues of the permanent collection of European paintings, patronage research has become even more significant. This material, along with detailed bibliography, exhibition history, conservation analysis, and, of course, scholarship on each object's place in the development of art, will figure prominently in these volumes.
In recent years provenance has assumed additional importance. Following recommendations of the American Association of Museums (AAM), Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD), the U.S. State Department Conference on Holocaust-Era Assets, and the Presidential Advisory Commission on Holocaust Assets in the United States (PCHA), the Clark has taken steps to identify any objects in its collection that might be subject to potential claims that they were confiscated from their rightful owners by the Nazis during the period of their power, 1933 to 1945.
The Clark has focused its provenance examination on paintings purchased by Sterling and Francine Clark, the Institute, and other Institute donors from 1933 to the present, with special emphasis on those paintings that might have changed ownership between 1933 and 1945. Researchers are now in the process of gathering all available provenance information on the Clark's European paintings. The Institute will disclose the provenance of all works in the collection that were created before 1945, transferred after 1932 and before 1946, and were or could have been in continental Europe between those dates. The Clark will continue to update this list in a timely manner as research continues.

There are always those little things which you need every once in a while but can't recall it when you need it. This is why you should have a knowledge base of your own, or for your team/department. The Knowledge Base should be accessible online through something like a web browser so anyone can access it and read it from multiple locations on the network and from multiple devices. In order for it to be secure don't allow access from outside the WAN (company network) and allow specific people to edit items. Notice it says edit, why not be nice and share your information with company people by allowing anyone to read it. This will accomplish two things, 1) you get to share information which may possibly help someone else and 2) your team is showing what they are accomplishing without presenting it in a "pony show" fashion.
I thought I would start this series and update it from time to time with a few of the small quick items I've found useful but rarely used. We keep these in our Knowledge Base for future use by anyone.
How to change network password via RDP
A user who connects via Remote Desktop (RDP) wants or is required to change their password. How to get the window to do this?
Every 90 days a user must change their network login password. Using traditional Ctl-Alt-Del brings up local system options when connected via RDP.
Use Ctl-Alt-End to bring up the same window however on the remote desktop you are currently logged into. Make sure you are in the window for that host.
How to clear the dns cache on windows XP desktop.
Sometime when a dns change is made, even if they are pushed to the dns/dhcp server you need to clear the cache on your local pc.
Open a command window by clicking the start button and selecting run on the right side
in the popup window type cmd and click ok button
in this window that starts type 'ipconfig /flushdns' without the quotes
This should flush the dns cache forcing your PC to go to the dns/dhcp server for requests
The flarcreate command creates a flash archive from a master system. A master system is one that contains a reference configuration, which is a particular configuration of the Solaris operating environment, plus optional other software. A flash archive is an easily transportable version of the reference configuration.
Need to create a backup of the host.
flarcreate -n name of the flar or backup -x files or directory to exclude -S -c location to put file
The S option removes the size check option, normally flarcreate will create the file in memory then check to ensure there is enough space to write the file, this option stops that check from happening.
The X (capital) option can be a file holding multiple files or directories to exclude; one would need to create the file before running the command. One may want to remove NFS file systems and application file systems so they are not included in the image.
I know these may not be helpful to you specifically however I want to share information. I've written before about this subject, the more I can share information someone may find an issue just a little bit easier. That is one thing we need to shoot for within IT, making the issues we come across as easy as possible to solve. The more technical or cool a process/product becomes the more issues you will have with it down the road. We technical people within IT are not normally good at documenting things however we are getting better as we utilize items like blogs and message boards to help. These items not only communicate issues with each other but they are in a matter of fact a way to document the fixes we find and help each other.
Take it easy.

Crabtree Entering Draft
Dallas, TX - Michael Crabtree's father says the Texas Tech receiver is going to the NFL, according to a newspaper report.
Bet College Football
His father, also named Michael Crabtree, told the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal on Friday that draft projections in the top 10 were too good to pass up. His dad says a nagging ankle problem in 2008 raised concerns about bigger injuries next season.
The receiver's father declined to comment to The Associated Press on Friday, saying his son was planning a Tuesday news conference to discuss his future.
Crabtree is the two-time Biletnikoff winner as the nation's top receiver. He had 3,127 yards receiving and 41 touchdowns in two seasons with the Red Raiders.
He is eligible for the NFL draft as a redshirt sophomore because he is three years removed from high school.

I've heard of crimes of opportunity but what made a Hawthorne, New Jersey man think he would get away with this?
The Associated Press reported that Thomas Rica, 43, the former public works inspector for the Village of Ridgewood, New Jersey, admitted stealing $460,000 in quarters.
Rica pleaded guilty today to four counts of theft and, because of the plea, prosecutors will recommend that he receive five years' probation and pay about $200,000 in restitution to Ridgewood.
Rica was employed by the Village of Ridgewood but lost his job a year ago in January after he was caught taking $500 in quarters from the village's parking meter collection room.
Apparently, after some investigation, police learned that was just the tip of the iceberg and that he had been regularly stealing quarters from that room for just over two years.
See, he would walk in there -- despite the fact that he had no business being in that room -- and fill his pockets with quarters and walk out. He also deposited all the quarters in his bank account -- all 1.8 million quarters.
Now tell me, if you were a bank teller, wouldn't you get suspicious after a while. And if a teller asked, what could have been his explanation?
To draw a comparison, a woman who regularly deposits copious amounts of single dollar bills might be looked at as someone who is tipped with single dollar bills at her place of employment. But can you think of any employment where you are paid with just quarters?
OK, maybe you do a lot of gambling at slot machines and your winnings can be in quarters but that wouldn't explain almost two years worth of regular deposits of quarters, as no one can win that much.
Personally, like a longtime friend of mine, gambling and casinos hold no allure for me but I do buy lottery tickets from time to time. Wish I had bought the Mega Millions ticket at the Sunoco gas station on Merritt Island in Florida for last night's drawing. But I digress.
I have to say this likely started out as a crime of opportunity in the first place for Rica. It doesn't sound like he woke up one day and said to himself, "I think I'll go grab some free money in the meter collection room."
But why just quarters?
I went to the Village of Ridgewood website and checked out the parking section and found that public parking in that village of about 25,000 is collected at 25 cents an hour (except the Rte 17 Park and Ride, which is 50 cents an hour). That would likely account for most of the stolen money being quarters.
From the pictures on the website it looks like a lovely village. I am sure people were surprised to have a thief in their midst. The circumstances remind me of an exchange in the 1988 movie "Die Hard" between hostage Holly Gennero McClane and German terrorist Hans Gruber.
Holly: "After all your posturing, all your little speeches, you're nothing but a common thief."
Gruber: "I am an exceptional thief, Mrs. McClane. And since I'm moving up to kidnapping, you should be more polite."
While I wouldn't call Rica "exceptional" he was creative. However, I think probation is a bit lenient and he should spend some time in jail thinking about what he did.

Last week Binky became disinterested in the goings on of the show and ascended to a higher plane. A couple of native Palauns stopped by and taught the survivors the most basic concepts of fishing and caught them a bunch of fish. They all enjoyed a big feast and after the cameras were turned off they had a huge orgy*. Coby melted down in front of everybody and in a stunning display of self-delusion was actually surprised when he was voted off.
There are many questions for this week, will Steph be voted out because she's the Ulong outsider? Will Tom be eliminated for being the largest threat? Will the others finally tire of Janu's inactivity and send her home before she dies? Will immunity ruin any carefully laid plans? And the biggest question of them all, with Binky gone does anyone care?
* I made that part up.
How sad is it that Ulong has the clean camp?
"I tried to cry when I wasn't voted off but I was too dehydrated. I'm dying here people, just let me go home!"
"Janu scared me last night, I thought she was going to lose it when we didn't vote her off. Then I remembered that she can barely raise her arms above her head and I relaxed".
"Why are you talking behind my back? If you have something to say why don't you say it to my face? Why are you playing games?".
"Because this is a game, you do remember we're on Survivor right?".
Ooo, look at the chin-fuzz, I think Ian's hitting puberty at long last!
"I don't care who deserves to be here. If you have a roll in my strategy then you deserve to be here. Hmmm, I guess I do care who deserves to be here".
"For today's reward challenge you will build a tower. You will take a disk one at a time from one pile and move it to another pile. No disk can be placed on a smaller disk. We call this challenge the Hanoi Challenge".
"These goggles remind me of the glasses I wore before I got laser surgery".
"Caryn and Janu, still being lazy".
In a modern culture
My friend you must be careful
They've a million ways to kill you
In this dangerous world
There's an art to growing old
Taking chances
Magic happens
These guys rock!
"I guess old habits die hard".
"We brought you a doggy bag!"
"You did?"
"Of course, I'm going to need your votes from the jury".
"We just came back from the feast Janu couldn't keep down when she said she wanted to have some more. I guess she hasn't thrown up enough yet today".
"So we're eating their leftovers and Janu sticks her hand in there and grabs a piece. It took all my will power to control myself and not stab her with my fork!"
Why do I have this image of trying to take the food bowl away from a cat?
And one for the ladies.
"Why won't anyone sit near me?"
"Because you won't use the deodorant we won".
"But it says 'made for a woman' right on it".
"The first person to bail on this challenge will face the ultimate test of fear. They will be abandoned on a beach to spend one night alone".
"One night? Is that it? I did one night standing on my head. That's easy, heck Janu could do that!"
Close your mouth Katie that's just not a good look.
"Hey Jeff. I think the water's actually getting lower".
"You're kidding? OK, can we get someone to check the tide charts".
"Are you starting to panic?"
"It's like I have the power, the power of suggestion. Bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha".
"The water's completely covering everybody's ears and now it's starting to creep up to their mouth and eyes".
Who are you talking to Jeff? If their ears are under water they can't hear you.
All the women gave up? What's up with that?
"Tom making a hand-snorkel".
That's tricky (if it works). I like this guy.
"That's it, Tom wins immunity! Hey someone poke Tom, let him know he won".
And another one for the ladies. I don't normally do two "Tom shots" in one week but I think I forgot last week.
"Hey who's that?"
"Who's who?".
"Hang on she turned sideways, you can't see her".
"I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I get it started but then it goes out. I'm using really fresh wood".
I wonder if CBS has insurance in case Janu burns down the whole island.
When the Ulong fishing team is away, the tiny fish will play.
Tom, you moron! You had the TIKS alliance, it was strong. Get rid of Janu and you've got a majority so you can pick off the other three. You and Ian are tight and would be able to get Katie to vote with you to kick out Steph, then you team with Katie and backstab Ian and vote him out. That leaves you and Katie as the final two and who in the jury is going to vote for Katie? But! Noooooooooooo. You have to go and piss off Stephenie. I was pulling for you but you just blew it. I'm pulling for Steph now!"
"Stephenie conquers Ulong then she comes in and conquers Koror and we all want to prevent that from happening".
Not me, not now, it's Steph all the way for me.
Go Stephenie, go! Go Stephenie, go! Go Stephenie, go!
"Hey Janu, how was it?"
"Did she say 'great'?"
"Yah, is she standing up by herself?"
"Yah she is, what the hell happened out there?"
Hey! Where'd they get an onion?
"We all agreed that it's Janu tonight and Janu wants it to be her, but for some reason I have a feeling it's me".
That's because you're perceptive.
"Janu, you spent the night alone, how did you do?"
"I did great! I made a fire. I danced on the beach. I realized that it's not living in these conditions that's the problem it's the people I'm living with".
"Everyone wished you good luck, did you buy it?"
"No. They are all a bunch of two faced laying rats. They are all a bunch of horrible people and I can't stand being around them anymore".
"Caryn, you look like you're about to attack".
"I'm getting so upset with Janu I'm almost considering voting her out".
"Steph, what's wrong?"
"I just pulled a muscle in my eye".
"Janu, why should they keep you?"
"They shouldn't, they should vote me out. I don't want to be here. I hate them, I hate them all. I want to leave".
"You almost seem like you want to go home".
"I do, are you not listening to me? I want to go home! I don't know how I can be any clearer than that!"
"I will lay down my torch so Stephenie can stay in the game".
"Don't martyr yourself for me. I've got a big enough target on my back as it is".
"I know that but you're forgetting something".
"What's that?"
"I hate you!"
"Oops, I think I just messed up!"
You bet your ass you messed up! You had this game, you had it in the palm of your hand and then you just threw it away. Get off my screen, I don't even want to look at you anymore.
Nothing funny to add, I just wanted to get a shot of Coby in.

Daytime talk show host Oprah Winfrey has given up on trying to convince voters to 'like' Hillary Clinton, but says they should vote for her regardless.
Discussing how political conversations with undecided voters about Hillary boil down to basically, 'I just don't know if I like her,' Winfrey claimed the electorate doesn't need to because they won't ever deal with her on a personal level.
'The reason why I haven't been vocal, other than saying I'm with her, is because I didn't know what to say that could actually pierce through all the noise and the chaos and the disgusting vitriol that's going on and actually be heard,' Winfrey told pastor T.D. Jakes in an interview set to be aired next week.
'But there really is no choice, people. All the people sitting around talking about they can't decide. This is what I wanna say – wait a minute,' Oprah continued. 'I hear this all the time. You get into conversations – and there's not a person in this room who hasn't been in this same conversation – where people say, 'I just don't know if I like her."
'She's not coming over to your house! You don't have to like her,' Oprah exclaimed. 'You don't have to like her. Do you like this country? Do you like this country? You better get out there and vote. Do you like the country? Do you like freedom and liberty? Do you like this country? OK. Do you like democracy or do you want a demagogue?'
Clinton has consistently polled low in terms of honesty and trustworthiness, especially after the FBI decided not to press charges against her following discovery of a private email server which compromised national security secrets in violation of US law.

Serbis is an independent film by Brillante Mendoza, starring Gina Pareño and RP's prince of indie movies Coco Martin. The film is a story of men who offer sexual services inside a movie house. It was invited to the official competition of the 61st Cannes Festival in France and was regarded as the most controversial in Cannes for the year 2008.
A rural family decides to run a prostitute service based in a fake theater in Angeles, Pampanga. The theater shows dated sexy double-feature films. The old building also serves as the residence of the family. Nanay Flor serves as the matriarch of the movie house while her family serve as her employees. Her daughter Nayda, son-in-law Lando and adopted daughter Jewel take turns in manning the ticket booth and canteen. Her nephews Ronald and Alan also help in the family business as a projectionist and billboard painter respectively.
Nanay Flor files a bigamy case against her husband but loses the case and feels betrayed when her own son testifies in court in favor of his father. Alan, financially unprepared for marriage, feels burdened by the fact that his pregnant girlfriend wants him to marry her. Nayda is torn between her commitment to her husband and her attraction to her cousin Ronald.
Unknown to the family, aside from movies, there's another kind of business going on inside the theater. The movie house also serves as a den for "serbis" boys (male prostitutes) who offer sexual services to gay patrons for a price.

The film caused a stir in the Philippines with its unbearably loud ambient noise and its graphic and seemingly gratuitous depiction of sex and nudity. Submitted to the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board for public exhibition in 2008, the movie survived with two major cuts to sex scenes and was rated an R18.
Such was the advance international buzz of the film that it was invited to compete at Cannes Film Festival, being the 3rd entry from the Philippines (following the films of movie great Lino Brocka, Jaguar and Bayan Ko: Kapit Sa Patalim. Its premiere there was marked by the walking out of several veteran film critics who protested Mendoza's version of "misery porn."
On 30 January 2009, the film was premiered in New York. Writing for the New York Times, its chief film critic Manohla Dargis described the film: "The heavenly bodies that populate our films bring their own pleasures ... alighting onscreen as if from a dream. But the bodies in ['Serbis'], which received little love at the 2008 Cannes, are not heaven-sent, but neither are they puppets in a contrived nightmare. Rather, they lust, sweat, desire and struggle with the ferocious truth."
"Serbis, from the moment its opening credits takes the appearance of an overused reel before opening with the sight of a girl (Roxanne Jordan) completely naked in front of a mirror while whispering I love you's in a seductive tone to its end where the "reel" burns at the moment wherein we are overhearing what turns out to be a negotiation between an old homosexual and a young bystander for sex services, is aiming at mixing reality and fiction and blurring the fine line between film viewing and voyeurism, the same way Tuhog examined the hurtful discrepancies of crossing that same line that divides life from film. What differentiates Serbis is that Mendoza's film works best as an experience, which brings to mind the numerous walk-outs the film has elicited, which to my mind is a result of a lack of acceptance of this film's goal of replicating the atmosphere in these dilapidated porn theaters that dot urban centers in the Philippines." – Francis Cruz, on his blog Lessons from the School of Inattention
"Acclaimed Filipino director Brillante Mendoza (Slingshot, The Masseur) is no stranger to his country's urgent and intertwining issues of poverty, class distinction and religion. If his earlier works had captured the raw and visceral quality of modern-day Manila slums by using cinéma-vérité, then Serbis sees Mendoza graduate to the allegorical realm of filmmaking. The frenetic hand-held camerawork that had become his hallmark has been reworked to carefully track the individuals dwelling within a dilapidated cinema house. As such, the sense of interior geography becomes as much a part of the film's character as the constant noise of the traffic outside. The cumulative result is a powerful, provocatively explicit and uncompromising portrayal of a Filipino family at its most desperate – a perfect metaphor for a country under so many economic, social and political upheavals." – Raymond Phathanavirangoon, in the blurb for the 2008 Toronto Film Festival exhibition
"Like Goodbye, Dragon Inn without the protective layer of nostalgia, Brillante Mendoza's Serbis crafts a self-contained world from a dilapidated movie house given more to gay cruising than cinema watching. But whereas the theater in Tsai Ming-liang's film still offers relatively straight fare (classic wuxia films) and the sexual encounters come free of cost, the programming at Serbis' theater has given over entirely to porn and, in the relentless everything-for-profit world of Mendoza's film, each blowjob necessitates an exchange of pesos." – Andrew Schenker of The House Next Door
"Director Brillante Mendoza's scattershot approach to storytelling is mostly a shocking mix of scatology and sexplicit titillation which leaves little to the imagination. The Filipino answer to "Slumdog Millionaire," this variation on the Third World squalor theme plays like a sordid peep show where the principals have precious little to offer in the way of redeeming qualities." – Slumdog Pornographer by Kam Williams
- "Explicit fellatio, blocked toilets and a crudely exploded ass-cheek boil form some of the more unsavory elements of "Service," Brillante Mendoza's latest opus that revels in shock value ... Moving into pseudo-Tsai Ming-liang territory is unlikely to win the prolific helmer further converts ... Most scenes are practically drowning in noise as the cacophony of the streets continuously invades the cinema's public and private areas." – Jay Weissberg of Variety Magazine
- "Director Brillante Mendoza continues the neo-realist vein of Foster Child and Sling Shot in Serbis, but displays marked improvement – both the grunge aesthetic and film language now bear his personal handwriting. To this, he adds some bristling sexuality, both gay and straight ... Bottom Line: An engaging domestic drama and stylishly seamy homage to the gay cinema rendezvous." – Maggie Lee in Hollywood Reporter

Media Release: One day 2 arrests by TMNP rangers and SAPS
20 August 2008
Wednesday, 20 August 2008 - TMNP rangers arrested 2 suspects, on Tafelberg Rd and Scarborough respectively, on Tuesday, 19 August.
A woman who was hiking on Platteklip Gorge spotted a man breaking into a vehicle and alerted the TMNP rangers who were patrolling the area.
The rangers gave chase and together with SAPS arrested the suspect with stolen goods in his possession on Tafelberg Road. A charge has been laid at the Cape Town Central police station.
In another incident, on the same day, TMNP rangers patrolling the Scarborough vicinity of the Park saw a man they had positively identified on two previous occasions. They held him on site until he was formally arrested by the Simonstown SAPS. Previously, he was spotted at Patridge Point, where, on being chased by TMNP rangers, he dropped two bags with stolen goods which the rangers took to Simonstown police station. Later, he was spotted by rangers who were on patrol in Red Hill. He was also positively identified by a resident of Castle Rock.

League encouraged by Wednesday's save
League encouraged by Wednesday's save
Thus the All-Star reliever was encouraged by Wednesday's 1-2-3 ninth when he retired Nelson Cruz on a deep fly to right field, then struck out Yorvit Torrealba and pinch-hitter Mike Napoli.
It didn't hurt that the Safeco radar gun clocked his initial fastball at 99 mph.
"I don't know how accurate that thing is, but as we say in the 'pen, if it's on the board, it counts," League said. "But I still have work to do. Even though the outcome was great, I feel like the first at-bat to Cruz, there were still some kinks. But I kind of got in the groove to Torrealba and Napoli. I just have to keep working."
After walking three batters and giving up two hits and two runs while recording just one out in his blown save in the 11th inning at Cleveland on May 17, League said his motion didn't feel right. He was still fighting things in Colorado when he allowed four hits and two runs in a non-save situation in a 6-4 victory.
"Yeah, there were a couple things I've been working on the past week or so," he said. "Specifically, arm angle and tempo with my motion. I've been working on it every day. When I'm out there, I'm not really thinking about that. I'm just trusting that what I'm working on carries over to the game."
Both strikeouts on Wednesday came on splitters, another positive sign.
"Being able to use anything besides my fastball just makes it more effective and vice versa," League said. "That keeps them off my fastball."

When your business is struggling, you may find yourself looking at laying off employees -- a dark day for any small business owner. Letting people go is always hard. In a big company, a CEO can order 10,000 job cuts without ever meeting anyone who gets laid off. But reducing a small workplace entails the excruciating task of laying off people you know well and are on friendly terms with. It's so hard that some businesspeople watch their business fail rather than wield the axe.
But, to survive, you must accept the proposition that your duty to your employees is limited by economic reality. Remember, you hired employees in an effort to make a profit, not to pay them in all circumstances, forever. Keep in mind that your employees understand that layoffs may be necessary when times are tough. After all, they read the newspapers and see the stories of layoffs in businesses that range from small local factories to multinational companies.
If you have been in business some time, it may help to remember that over the years you've provided employment for lots of people, some of whom moved on when they found a better opportunity. The fact that forces outside your control are now causing your business to contract doesn't make you a bad employer or a bad person. The longer you resist or delay necessary layoffs, the more you put at risk your business and its ability to provide jobs in the future.
The conventional advice is that it's less demoralizing to employees to have one big layoff than a series of small ones. In other words, toss away your rose-colored glasses and cut heavily, so that you're sure you won't have to do it again. You don't want employees constantly nervous about their jobs as they watch coworkers leave one by one. There's obviously much truth in this. But knowing and caring about your employees as you do, your instinct is probably to cut the minimum number of jobs required by your new tough-minded recession business plan. Fine, as long as employees understand that although you hope to avoid more job cuts, they might be needed. Show them how the business is doing and how much revenue you need to bring in each month, and let them know that if the revenue targets aren't hit, more jobs might have to go.
Although your focus should be on eliminating jobs, you may want to do some shifting of job responsibilities. If you find that an employee in a position slated to be cut is more efficient and qualified than someone occupying a position you plan to keep, make the substitution.
It is illegal to make employment decisions based on age, gender, race, disability, religion, national origin, or any other legally protected category. So make sure you don't discriminate for an illegal reason. Normally in layoff situations, where you first identify job slots that you can eliminate and then cut the people occupying those slots, you'll have little to worry about, because you'll likely end up laying off people of different ages, genders, race, and so on. But if after making your list, you find that most people on it are, say, women over 40, rethink your plan or talk to an employment lawyer. Otherwise you may open yourself to an age discrimination claim.
EXAMPLE: Because sales have dropped, Acme Lumber decides to cut ten of its 30 employees: three from the office, four from the lumber shed, and two drivers. Three of the employees—two men and one woman—are over 50, two are African American, and one long-term employee uses a wheelchair. There are seven men and three women in the group, and their average age is 40, which more or less mirrors Acme's overall gender and age makeup. If Acme acts based on a logical plan to cut tasks and retain people with the most needed skills, it should have no concerns that any of these employees can succeed with a discrimination claim.

Micron shutting 200-mm fab, cutting more jobs
Post a comment
SAN FRANCISCOMemory chip specialist Micron Technology Inc. will cut 500 jobs and phase out 200-mm wafer manufacturing operations at the company's Boise, Idaho headquarters in response to deteriorating economic conditions, the company said Monday (Feb. 23).
As many as 2,000 jobs could be eliminated by the end of August as a result of the actions, Micron said. The company did not say exactly when the Boise fab would cease production.
Micron said the cuts announced Monday would be in addition to cuts made last October, when the company restructured its manufacturing operations and eliminated 15 percent of its workforce, or 3,000 employees.
Micron will continue to operate its 300-mm R&D fab in Boise and perform various other activities there, including reticle manufacturing, product design and support, quality assurance and systems integration work, Micron said. Following the layoffs, Micron will employ more than 5,000 people in Idaho, the company said.
Micron's remaining manufacturing infrastructure consists of facilities in Virginia, Italy, and Japan, as well as joint venture operations in Utah, Singapore and Taiwan. Many of the remaining facilities are 300-mm fabs.
Steve Appleton, Micron chairman and CEO, said through a prepared statement that the company had hoped DRAM demand would stabilize and the market would begin to recover in the spring.
"Unfortunately, a better environment has not materialized, and we are at a point where we wanted to let our employees and the community know in advance what will occur later this summer," Appleton said.
Cash restructuring charges will be approximately $50 million, which will generate a gross annualized operating cash benefit of $150 million, Micron said. The net operating cash flow effect will be neutral for fiscal year 2009, the company said.

Take off, Eh?
Via Metro News:
Vancouver has found itself unwittingly thrust into the U.S. presidential race after a new campaign ad for Republican candidate Marco Rubio mistakenly featured footage of the Canadian city's downtown skyline.
The ad, which was released over the weekend, opens with scenic sunrise shot of a tugboat with a city in the background as a narrator says "it's morning again in America"— a reference to Ronald Reagan's 1984 campaign slogan that used the same line.
The only problem? The city in the background isn't America.
It's unmistakably Vancouver's iconic skyline, seen across the Burrard Inlet.
The city's Harbour Centre is clearly visible in the shot, as are the cranes at Port Metro Vancouver. A small Canadian flag can even be seen flying on the back of the tugboat.

The Bishop's School is offering a new sport for its students. And while the pursuit's appeal may be more niche than mainstream, some of the rewards are the same — compete as a team representing your school, earn a varsity letter and practice, practice, practice in order to improve.
The latest addition to the private school's stable of athletic activities is equestrian.
Last winter's team — the season runs from October to January — consisted of nine girls and one boy. The Knights finished their second year of competition in the Orange County Interscholastic Equestrian League in 10th place among 43 schools, a considerable improvement over their 20th-place rookie season. The league's eight shows were staged at a facility in San Juan Capistrano.
"It's great for the school to give students this opportunity," said coach Suzanne Federico, a seasoned equestrian rider and Latin teacher on the Bishop's faculty. "They can earn varsity letters by competing for their school."
Bishop's, which offers kindergarten through 12th grade, is gearing up for its third season.
"One goal is to bring younger riders into the team because the league offers competition for middle-school-age riders," Federico said.
Only a handful of high schools in the region have equestrian teams.
"First, we had to convince the administration that an equestrian team was a good idea," Federico said.
"Jaleh Watson and Gayle Francis, the moms of a couple riders, helped do the talking. Jaleh Watson noted 370 colleges compete in the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association and 23 schools have NCAA equestrian teams.
"A goal now is to establish scholarships to help riders who can't afford the expenses of going to horse shows. The ongoing challenge is competing against high schools with larger teams, several with more than 20 riders. Riders compete individually, then their scores are added to get a team score. We outscore other teams by outriding them."
Bishop's top individual rider last season was junior Megan Watson (Jaleh's daughter), who was reserve champion in two categories and champion in two others while emerging as grand champion of the varsity jumpers division (which emphasizes speed and fault-free accuracy rather than horse-rider form). Megan and Ryan Wilkinson were co-captains of a squad that also included Stephanie Holmes, Sophie Greenspan and Leanna Lupin.
"It was exciting for me to be acknowledged finally in a school sport," said Megan, 16, who began riding horses at age 5 and gave up ballet and soccer because she fancied equestrian. "Equestrian is a partner sport between you and your horse. To have success, you must work well with your partner."
After gaining administration approval, Bishop's equestrian backers launched the team with $1,000 in startup funds from the school's Round Table organization. Fundraising has allowed the program to become self-sustaining.
"When families buy horses, it can become a rich kid's sport," said Federico, a Tulane graduate who grew up in a horse environment in rural Louisiana. "But several of our riders lease horses. There still are many expenses, but students who really are motivated to ride often can do work at their horses' barns in exchange for some of the expenses. Competing in shows definitely is part of the training because no amount of rehearsing at the home barn can compare to the excitement of horse and rider in the show environment."

When Santa Fe antique dealer Julie Anderson was curiously drawn to purchase a battered jewelry box, she never expected it to contain her own personal love slave. Especially not tall, dark and sinfully handsome Tristan-a man hard to resist, and determined to fulfill her every desire.
Though Tristan was a rogue of the battlefield and the boudoir, making love with Julia was like nothing he'd ever known. Yet revealing his true heart would break the centuries-old spell and separate them forever. And Tristan would do anything to go on loving Julia. . .even remain a slave through all eternity. . .

A Scene In Between - A Visual History Of Indie Fashion
Adrian Lobb
, October 6th, 2013 07:41
Adrian Lobb gets to grips with Sam Knee's pictorial history of Indie via the Jesus and Mary Chain, postcards from Morrissey and the ubiquitous influence of the Scottish weather
If the term indie has become largely redundant since the erasure of its link to record company ownership, let alone any real sense of outsiderism, it was not ever thus. A new book by Sam Knee comprising never-seen-before photographs alongside well-selected interviews with indie greats Stephen Pastel, Amelia Fletcher, My Bloody Valentine's David Conway plus Lloyd Johnson (Kensington Market's most famous purveyor of indie gear), charts the UK indie movement's fashions during its 1980s heyday.
The photographs have been lovingly compiled, gleaned from the bands and their fans, the scenes and their zines. They show the breadth of the nascent indie scene emerged out of musical genres and style tribes, from post-punks and mod revivalists, to goths and 60s garage and psychedelia fans. From the floppy fringes of Orange Juice, goofing around in 1980, to the exuberance and sheer joy of early Jesus and Mary Chain shows – a grinning Bobby Gillespie banging his solitary drum as fans and bandmates merge into a sweaty heap at the Ambulance Station, Old Kent Road, London in 1984 – via the influential lo-fi style and sound of Marine Girls, all of early indie life is here.
Like much of the scene's music, 1980s indie fashion was a built on a bedrock of classic elements, harking back to a mythical 1950s and 60s golden age, while incorporating more clearly signified subversive elements. So it is that A Scene In Between documents the v-neck sweaters, duffle coats, floral dresses, cardigans and sensible shoes alongside the leather trousers (an unlikely element of indie fashion most memorably worn by some early Creation bands) and full face-covering bowl haircuts of "Welsh indie unknowns Flesh". There is a similar homology in the way the cheap production, occasionally shambolic playing, and easily mimicked sound is visually represented by the ubiquitous charity shop chic.
Coming in the wake of more aggressive and instantly identifiable style tribes, indie can be overlooked in subcultural histories that skip from mod and punk to grunge and the rave scene. Yet, in the hinterland between these noisy neighbours came an underground musical movement and style tribe every bit as distinctive, if not as heralded, as either of its bookends. The "scene in between" that emerged looked, in many instances, to retreat from view. The names of bands featured in the book – The Pastels, Dolly Mixture, the Shop Assistants, the Flatmates, Felt, the Pooh Sticks, Orange Juice, the Dentists, the Sea Urchins, The Smiths – are explicitly, intentionally ordinary, unshowy, non-confrontational. This is not to say that the movement lacked political zeal or importance – withdrawing in disgust is not the same thing as apathy, as per Richard Linklater's indie film Slacker. Simon Reynolds, in his 'Against Health and Efficiency' essay on indie, describes the movement as "the most appropriate gesture of defiance to the times," as the indie community refused to conform to the dominant politics of the era.
Having opened with Orange Juice, Josef K and the Pastels, the book closes with The Boy Hairdressers, The Vaselines and BMX Bandits – cementing Scotland's importance on the indie scene. When Stephen Pastel, who is acclaimed as being at "the vanguard of 60s unisex anorak trend", talks of pairing "unfashionable Marks and Spencer's v-neck sweaters, Clarks shoes, brown cords. If it was raining, an anorak was ok, and in winter, a dufflecoat" he highlights the Scottish weather as a major influence on the outerwear that became a year-round look for many (and remains an indie signifier to this day). Pastel also points out a popular argument against the definition of indie. "It's ironic, I always hated the word 'indie' and if I'm truthful, I hated a lot of the music that came to be called indie. But independent music, in its originality and oddness offered me… my only possibility in terms of what I wanted to do, which was make music with like-minded people."
Whether the indie scene, as depicted here, has been unfairly overlooked remains moot. But this brilliantly curated pictoral history – including postcards from Morrissey to a loyal fan alongside early shots of the Smiths, on and off stage – unpicks the scene's influence and influences, showcases terrific photographs of bands both celebrated and largely forgotten, and highlights the stylistic commonalities within a musically varied subculture.
Sam Knee will be launching A Scene In Between at Mono in Glasgow on October 7th

Most of the pics therein have been readily available online for ages, but it's a v. pleasant read nonetheless. :)
n.b. Not nearly enough Josef K though!
Dec 18, 2013 8:45am
I always saw this scene as very anti-Smiths.I knew a lot of these people and the Smiths were seen as hopelessly mainstream.As far as I'm concerned,history has not been kind to any of these bands,My Bloody Valentine and the Jesus and Mary Chain included,and Creation haven't released a great record since the 3rd Jasmine Minks single.Compared to the first generation of Rough Trade bands,Primal Scream,the June Brides and the Shop Assistants were pretty thin gruel.Thank god the Television Personalities were still gigging.
I read a review calling this a document of the undergrounds last gasp,before the Stone Roses repackaged 'indie' for what Rox and Attack on Bzag used to call Tetley Bittermen.I'm too nice to say so myself,but it's a cold fact.

Atlantic Cape Community College student Rebecca Sundstrom, of Cape May, has been training as an actor, singer, dancer and model since age 3.
The 21-year-old communications student will appear tonight at 8 on MTV's show "10 on Top," modeling as Karmin and the rock group Neon Trees perform in the show's "Most Stylin Stars of the Year" episode. The show bills itself as "a half-hour countdown of the Top 10 most texted and talked about young celebrities of the moment," and was filmed at the MTV Total Request Live studio in New York City's Times Square.
Sundstrom is co-host of Atlantic Cape's social media news segment, the Atlantic Cape News Minute, and has the lead in Cape Island Theater Company's Christmas show, "Carl Kris Kringle." She will appear in the new TV cop show "Golden Boy" on CBS in 2013, and recently filmed a lead role in a television pilot, she said.
"I'm not sure when I'll find out if it gets picked up," Sundstrom said of the pilot.

Silver Spring, Md. -- The Adventist Media Center Board, upon the recommendation of the Breath of Life Ministries Executive Committee, has voted to invite Pastor Carlton P. Byrd, DMin., senior pastor of the Atlanta Berean Seventh-day Adventist Church in Atlanta, Ga., to join the staff of Breath of Life Ministries as its new associate speaker director.
"We saw in Dr. Byrd a passion for evangelism that is consistent with our previous speaker directors," said Elder Alvin M. Kibble, Breath of Life Ministries executive committee chairman and a vice president for the Seventh-day Adventist Church in North America. "He conveys both a teachable spirit and a clear sense of readiness which will enable him to greatly assist the ministry in reaching the postmodern generation," he said. Dr. Byrd, an ordained minister of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, is a 1994 graduate of Oakwood University (formerly Oakwood College) in Huntsville, Ala. with dual degrees, a bachelor of arts degree in theology and a bachelor of science degree in business management. He is also a graduate of Tennessee State University in Nashville, Tenn., where he earned the master of business administration degree, and a graduate of the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary in Berrien Springs, Mich., where he earned both the master of divinity degree and the doctor of ministry degree with an emphasis in African American religious studies. In 2008, he was induction into the Martin Luther King Board of Preachers at Morehouse College. While serving as the senior pastor of the Atlanta Berean Seventh-day Adventist Church, Dr. Byrd has baptized more than 1,200 people and launched a television ministry that currently airs weekly on two Atlanta television stations. Under his leadership, the church was awarded a $5.2 million grant from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development to construct a senior citizens housing facility. In October 2009, the Atlanta Berean Church was named the North American Division's 2009 Innovative Church of the Year. Dr. Byrd is married to the former Danielle Mounter, who is also a 1996 graduate of Oakwood University. They are the proud parents of two girls, Christyn and Caileigh. Dr. Byrd will assist Pastor Walter L. Pearson Jr., speaker director of Breath of Life Ministries, in the development of new programming and in the conducting of evangelistic campaigns and revival meetings. In addition to this position, Dr. Byrd will still continue to serve as the senior pastor of the Atlanta Berean congregation. Breath of Life Ministries is dedicated to sharing the healing Gospel of Jesus Christ in the context of the Three Angels' Messages of Revelation 14. This is done through the production and distribution of Christ centered quality television and media programs and support materials that are intellectually stimulating, Bible-based, and designed to help people choose a quality of life found only in following Christ.

~Motorist Assist
~Tips for a breakdown
~Kansas Motorist Assist
What is the Incident Management Program?
In 2007 Kansas City Scout created an Incident Management program to work hand in hand with the Motorist Assist program.
Incident management is the process of coordinating resources of different partnering agencies and private sector companies to identify, respond to, and clear traffic incidents as quickly as possible while protecting the safety of on-scene responders and the traveling public.
For every minute a freeway lane is blocked during the peak period, at least a 10 minute backup will result after the incident is cleared. This statistic highlights incident management's importance as a vital factor in the battle to combat congestion, to improve public safety and to advance the overall quality of the commuting experience.
Since the inception of the Incident Management program, Scout and Motorist Assist has seen a 30% reduction in the amount of time it takes for an incident to clear.
The creation of the Incident Management program along with Motorist Assist has played a tremendous role in helping the environment, saving fuel, money, time and most importantly lives of motorists traveling on Kansas City area interstates.

Their house expansion would make them the owners of a luxurious superhouse in London, but that is after they have knocked down two houses near their present house to create this mansion with 33 rooms.
The Oscar-winning actress had bought these house, near their luxurious London residence two-years ago and now after the local authorities give the node, the has started the expansion by merging both of them.
If even you are wondering that how far this celebrity-couple would go to create a magnanimous mansion, which would just be one of the many homes that the couple own around the globe.
According to the house plan, the two are planning to create an extra two-stories and garden slide for their children.
The work of joining the two houses, which has already begin would give the star couple an extra eight rooms on the lower ground floor, six on the upper ground, five on the first floor and eight on the second floor.
The Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin and Paltrow married in 2003, however, for years their marriage has been plagued with rumors of problems and possible separation. Considering that, we can say that it is easy to build a house or even a mega-mansion for that matter, but it needs real dedication to build a home.

Users Report System Freeze After Recent PS3 4.0 Update
Sony's recently released PlayStation 3 System Software Update 4.0 hasn't been the most popular amongst its users, to say the least. In fact, many fans have voiced their unhappiness with Sony's recent update.
Despite the latest update focusing heavily on the upcoming launch of the PlayStation Vita, many fans wanted more from an update as symbolically big as THE update 4.0.
Sony emphasized that the patch is directed towards the PS Vita and will "prepare the PlayStation 3 to serve as a content management device", as well as "allow users to copy their digital content such as games, music, photos, and videos between PS Vita and PS3, back up PS Vita game games including save data to your PS3 hard drive, and update the system software for your PS Vita system using the network features of your PS3."
The 4.00 system software update did include a number of changes including the ability to disable the automatic update feature, new PSN settings, and a few hidden changes as well.
What they didn't include in their update was the chance that it COULD cause your PlayStation 3 to freeze. Fans have reported system freezes with their console since updating to 4.00 on the official PlayStation forums.
"I updated to 4.0 and now when I fastforward time then enter a building in skyrim it freezes the system," explained one fan about his experiences with popular RPG Skyrim after the update.
Others have reported similar issues, particularly with Skyrim.
"I'm having the same issue. I have formatted the PS3 twice now, but it hasn't gotten any better. Quite frustrating." - GeneQuagmire
Other users are saying that the 4.00 update is crashing at 50% during the install and that game discs are failing to be read. As of right now, these seem to be isolated incidents. Sony has yet to release any information about possible causes.
Have you experienced any problems with the 4.00 update, other than unhappiness with its lack of new features?

Album Rating: 3.0Probably not.
This is decent. Can't help but hear that Mackelmore song when listening to eclipse...
Why would it not be featured? It's a review of a recent release by a staffer, and part of our job is to give less-known artists exposure

To the great unwashed, it looks like this: A couple of guys in colourful shorts enter the caged Octagon, roll around the mat, drop a couple of elbows then find a limb to twist until one of them surrenders.
For years, the ground game has been the lynchpin of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
UFC greats such as Royce Gracie, Matt Hughes and Randy Couture have made careers out of taking guys to the mat and unleashing a buffet of beatings and submissions.
But there is a mini-revolution of sorts taking place.
In the ever-evolving sport of mixed-martial arts, more and more fighters are concentrating their training on striking and the stand-up game.
This was evidenced at this week's Ultimate Fight Night at the Red Rock Casino and Spa in Las Vegas.
At least a couple of fighters -- including headliner Diego (Nightmare) Sanchez -- abandoned their traditional wrestling roots to concentrate on stand up.
Sanchez, best known for winning The Ultimate Fighter 1, is a ground-and-pound specialist.
His strengths are his grappling ability and his stamina.
But in his scrap against Karo (The Heat) Parisyan, he showed he can comfortably fight on his feet.
Crisp jabs kept the cut-up Parisyan at bay and, in close quarters, Sanchez executed a highlight-reel knee that knocked one of Parisyan's teeth clear from his mouth and onto the canvas.
Fellow Ultimate Fighter alumnus Josh Koscheck also showed he'd been working on his striking.
The four-time All-American NCAA wrestler took less than a round to dispose of Canadian Jonathan Goulet with a bevy of unanswered punches.
So with all these relative newcomers concentrating on their standup, does it spell the end of ground game dominance?
Dean Lidster, Tito Ortiz, Matt Hughes, Babalu and a host of others will ensure that doesn't happen.
And those without a solid ground game -- outside of maybe Chuck Liddell -- will undoubtedly end up pretzeled into submission by some Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace.
What it does mean, in my humble opinion, is the potential for more exciting scraps.
More fighters willing to stand up and trade and more of the reason many fans tune in -- to watch a good knockout.
- Look for Diego (Nightmare) Sanchez to get his title shot against the winner of Matt Hughes/Georges St. Pierre. As strange as Sanchez may be -- with his over-the-top God squad verbage and just plain creepy pre-fight prep -- there's no denying his talent.
- King of the Cage is set to hold another card in Calgary in late September. The event is expected to take place at the Corral and will include world lightweight champ Mac Danzig in a title match. His opponent has yet to be named.
- Toronto's Rob (Maximus) MacDonald has been added to the UFC 62 undercard for next weekend. He will take on Eric Schafer.
- mmaweekly.com says former heavyweight champ Frank Mir -- who looked out of shape in his last two fights -- will take on the highly-rated Brandon (The Truth) Vera at UFC 65.
