DCCC launches program to protect House incumbents—Va. Dems mock Cuccinelli for '16 ambitions—DSCC goes after Cornyn on border tweets—House Majority PAC goes after Grimm on sequestration
( firstname.lastname@example.com; Twitter: @emilyrs)
DEMS LOOK TO PROTECT HOUSE MEMBERS IN '14: Alex Isenstadt is out this morning with a preview of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's new program to protect its vulnerable incumbent House members in their effort to regain the House in 2014. From the story: "On Tuesday, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee will unveil its incumbent-retention program, known as Frontline, which will include 26 incumbents from districts across the country. The program, which was borne out during Rahm Emanuel's tenure as DCCC chairman, aims to provide institutional support to the incumbents, giving them advice on everything from how to run their congressional offices to how to set up get-out-the-vote efforts. There will also be a heavy focus on providing help with fundraising. President Barack Obama has promised to raise money for the House Democratic campaign arm, and party officials say some of that cash will be directed to the vulnerable members." http://politi.co/XJnKqA
Story Continued Below
FIRST IN SCORE—DEMS HIT CUCCINELLI ON '16 AMBITIONS: Keeping up its attacks on Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, the state's Democratic Party is out with a new website hitting the GOP gubernatorial candidate for his national appearances and potential presidential aspirations. The site, "Cuccinelli for President 2016," lists nine things Cuccinelli has done that would indicate he has bigger national ambitions, like releasing his book, The Last Line of Defense, speaking at an Iowa GOP dinner and headlining CPAC later this month. The new line of attack follows from one Democrats and the McAuliffe campaign have already stressed: that Cuccinelli, by not resigning as attorney general while he runs his campaign, is neglecting his day job while campaigning for higher office. See the site here: http://www.cuccinelliforpresident.com/
EXCLUSIVE—DSCC GOES AFTER CORNYN: The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is going after Texas Sen. John Cornyn on his tweets about border security last week. Cornyn tweeted about a "friend" who told him 300 people were "coming across his property each night," saying Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano wasn't securing the border. But when asked about the identity of his friend by local reporters, Cornyn hasn't given out any information. "It's time for John Cornyn to stop ducking and dodging reporters' questions and verify the truthfulness of his claim," DSCC spokesman Justin Barasky said. "John Cornyn's continued refusal to reveal his source amounts to an admission that this was nothing more than his latest effort to endear himself to the far right and Ted Cruz in particular, who is beginning to look more and more like the senior Senator from the state of Texas. John Cornyn either owes Texans an explanation, or needs to admit that he's simply making stuff up."
SNEAK PEEK—HOUSE MAJORITY PAC TWEAKS GRIMM ON SEQUESTRATION: House Majority PAC is going on the attack this morning against New York Rep. Michael Grimm for comments he made about the effects—or lack thereof—of sequestration cuts on his district. In its video, the group highlights the nearly $3 million that will be cut from Hurricane Sandy aid in the district, contrasting that with Grimm's assertion that the cuts won't have "that profound effects." "It certainly is not going to be nearly as bad some of my colleagues say," Grimm says in a news clip. "The sky is not falling." Grimm is one of House Majority PAC's top 10 targets for the 2014 cycle. Watch: http://bit.ly/XJlW0Z
SCORE PREVIEW—BANKRUPTING AMERICA GOES ON AIR FOR SEQUESTER: Bankrupting America, a project of the group Public Notice, is going on air with a national cable and online ad today urging Congress to consider responsible cuts in dealing with sequestration. "What is sequestration? A three percent cut in federal spending. Three cents out of every dollar the government spends," the ad's narrator says. "Americans have made tough choices and cut back; Washington refuses. Call Washington and ask them why it's so hard to cut spending. " The ad will run March 5-15. Watch it here: http://bit.ly/WKuiIL

PROGRAMMING NOTE: After nearly two years and hundreds of pre-dawn wakeup calls, James Hohmann has handed over the Morning Score reins. You can still find his byline on POLITICO, where he's excited to cover the battle for control of the Senate. Thanks for your loyal readership.
As the AFL-CIO sits out MA-Sen, Sanford tries to get his ex-wife on board and Jeb Bush won't rule out a 2016 bid, here's POLITICO's Morning Score: your guide to the permanent campaign.
VIRGINIA GOVERNOR—THE BOLLING EFFECT: In advance of Bill Bolling's March 14 announcement about his possible plans for an independent gubernatorial bid in Virginia, your Score correspondent and Alex Burns look at the effect he could have on the race if he gets in. "Though they're reluctant to say it, Democrats believe that as more voters start tuning in to the race, moderate Republicans will be turned off by Cuccinelli's positions on social issues and look to Bolling instead. … But for Cuccinelli backers, polling so far of a hypothetical three-way race suggests that Bolling would also pull support from moderate Democrats who have doubts about McAuliffe – and thus be less of a threat to Cuccinelli." http://politi.co/WIyMzz
MASSACHUSETTS SENATE POLL—MARKEY LEADS BY DOUBLE DIGITS: A new poll out of Massachusetts this morning, commissioned by the League of Conservation Voters and NARAL Pro-Choice America, finds Rep. Ed Markey with a double-digit lead over fellow Rep. Stephen Lynch in the Democratic primary to replace John Kerry. Markey takes 42 percent of voters in the poll, conducted by Garin Hart Yang Research Group, compared with 28 percent for Lynch. Both LCV and NARAL have endorsed Markey in the race. See the full results: http://bit.ly/WKw8cD
MORE BAY STATE NEWS—AFL-CIO WON'T ENDORSE: The Massachusetts AFL-CIO, the largest labor union in the state, won't endorse a candidate in the special Senate election. The Springfield Republican: "At a meeting of the Massachusetts AFL-CIO's executive board on Friday, 32 members of the group voted in favor of endorsing Democratic U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch, according to his spokesman, although the numbers weren't great enough to carry a two-thirds majority necessary to make an official endorsement. The news came as a disappointment to Lynch supporters who were already reeling from an issue raised earlier in the day in which the congressman's name was not included on a brief to the Supreme Court arguing that the federal Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional." http://bit.ly/WIKV7E
NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR—BROWN RAISES WITH CHRISTIE: Former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown, who decided to forgo a statewide run of his own this year and has been keeping a fairly low profile since he left office, raised campaign cash for Chris Christie's reelection bid over the weekend. Christie, who leads Democratic state Sen. Barbara Buono by double digits in all public polling thus far, also raised money with Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell last week. http://bit.ly/WILi22
LOS ANGELES MAYOR—PRIMARY DAY IN THE GOLDEN STATE: Voters in L.A. head to the polls today in the mayoral primary to replace current Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. The AP raises the curtain ahead of what's expected to be a low-turnout primary: "Polls show a tight contest between City Councilman Eric Garcetti and Controller Wendy Greuel, both Democrats. ... An expected low turnout makes surprises more likely, elevating the roles of Democratic Councilwoman Jan Perry and Republican Kevin James, a former prosecutor and radio talk show host." http://bit.ly/YRBChN
SOUTH CAROLINA SPECIAL—SANFORD TRIED TO HIRE EX-WIFE: New York Magazine had a story out over the weekend saying former Gov. Mark Sanford approached his ex-wife Jenny Sanford to run his campaign in the South Carolina 1 st district special election. "Since you're not running, I want to know if you'll run my campaign. We could put the team back together," Sanford reportedly told her. "I could pay you this time." Jenny Sanford, who'd considered her own bid in the race but ultimately decided against it, said no. Sanford is running in a crowded GOP field for the seat, which he represented before his tenure as governor. The primary is March 19. http://nym.ag/XP2yQU
KENTUCKY SENATE—GOP GOES AFTER JUDD: POLITICO's Lois Romano looks at the early GOP efforts to discredit Ashley Judd in Kentucky—before she even announces her decision about challenging Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. "Republicans are homing in with glee on the actress and activist, picking apart her views and statements and compiling a thick compendium of speeches, writings and tweets. What they found: Judd may not have a legislative record, but she has left quite a paper trail," Romano writes. "This early opposition research effort seems as much about scaring Democrats nationally about a Judd candidacy as informing Kentuckians before Judd even decides to make the race." http://politi.co/XP5RHP
GEORGIA SENATE—GRAVES WON'T RUN: The latest news out of the race to replace retiring Sen. Saxby Chambliss is that Rep. Tom Graves won't run in the GOP primary. "I firmly believe, had I decided to run, the money would have been there, and we would have been very competitive," he told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The only announced candidate in the race is GOP Rep. Paul Broun, though a handful of other Georgia congressmen are mulling bids. Democrats still don't have a candidate in the race, though Rep. Tom Barrow is considered a top choice if the party can recruit him to run. http://bit.ly/WIMvXb
IOWA SENATE—AG SECRETARY FLOATS GOP BID: Just days after GOP Rep. Tom Latham said he won't run for retiring Sen. Tom Harkin's seat, Iowa Agriculture Secretary Bill Northey says he's considering running in the GOP primary. Northey told Radio Iowa that he's "thinking about it." "We'll talk about it with our family and have a lot of conversations and figure out what's right," he said. So far, no Republicans have announced in the race, though Rep. Steve King and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds are both reportedly mulling bids of their own. On the Democratic side, Rep. Bruce Braley is already planning his campaign. http://bit.ly/XP4oBA
NEW JERSEY SENATE—BOOKER'S SPEAKING FEES: The New York Times is out with a story about Newark Mayor Cory Booker's speaking fees—he's earned about $1 million from speeches during his seven years in office, which he says he's donated mostly to charity. "The mayor, whose city salary is roughly $135,000 a year, said he had donated almost all of the outside earnings to charity. … Mr. Booker, 43, said he would release a full accounting of his outside earnings in the next month or so. He will be required to make such public disclosures as he moves toward a formal announcement of his candidacy for the Senate, where he is seeking to replace the retiring Frank R. Lautenberg. He confirmed the approximate figures during the interview on Monday." http://nyti.ms/XJkyLz
LOUISIANA SENATE—BOUSTANY WON'T CHALLENGE LANDRIEU: GOP Rep. Charles Boustany Jr., whose name had come up recently as a challenger to sitting Sen. Mary Landrieu, said Monday that he's going to stay in the House for the time being. The news comes a few days after state Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne said he was "pondering" whether to mount a bid against Landrieu himself. Landrieu is considered one of a handful of vulnerable Democrats up for reelection in red states next year, and will be a prime GOP target. http://bit.ly/XP0ZTa
TEXAS GOVERNOR—POLL FINDS PERRY BELOW 50: A new poll out of Texas finds that, while Gov. Rick Perry is still a favorite to get reelected in 2014 if he runs again, he's sitting at under 50 percent among Republican voters there. The survey, from the University of Texas and the Texas Tribune, found that 48 percent of GOP primary voters said they would vote for Perry, 6 percent said they'd vote against him and 44 percent said they'd wait and see what their options are. When matched up against GOP Secretary of State Greg Abbott, who's reportedly mulling a run, Perry would win handily with 49 percent of the vote to Abbott's 17 percent, but 31 percent of voters said they're undecided. Despite the uncertainty about Perry in 2014, the vast majority of GOP voters in the state –72 percent – say they have a favorable view of him. Full results: http://bit.ly/12oZZd1
PENNSYLVANIA GOVERNOR—SCHWARTZ TAKES FURTHER STEPS TOWARD GOV BID: The news of Pennsylvania Rep. Allyson Schwartz's plans to run for governor against unpopular GOP Gov. Tom Corbett has been trickling out over the last few weeks, and this week she comes closer to making it official: the longtime Philly-area congresswoman told the Philly Inquirer that she'll establish a state political committee within the next few weeks. She also said she won't simultaneously run for her House seat, even though she's legally allowed to do so. http://bit.ly/XP4zwA
MAINE GOVERNOR—MICHAUD 'LOOKING AT' GUBERNATORIAL RUN: Speaking of incumbent governors up for reelection next year who have low approval ratings in their state, Maine Gov. Paul LePage could have his first challenger in Democratic Rep. Mike Michaud. Michaud said Monday that he's looking at" running against LePage, but that he hasn't "really set any timelines" for his decision. A Public Policy Polling survey of potential matchups shows Michaud edging LePage handily in a two-way race, 57 percent to 36 percent. But in a three-way race, with independent candidate Eliot Cutler running again, LePage would lead with 34 percent. http://politi.co/XP56yx
COLORADO HOUSE—BENNET BURIES THE HATCHET: Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet is coming to the aid of a former primary foe in a Colorado House race: he's backing his former 2010 primary opponent, Andrew Romanoff, in his bid for Colorado's 6 th district next year. "Andrew has always placed the needs of his constituents above Washington's politics-as-usual. At a time of partisanship and gridlock, he will work across the aisle to move our nation forward," Bennet said in a statement. The two fought in a heated Democratic primary three years ago: President Obama endorsed Bennet, while Bill Clinton backed Romanoff. http://bit.ly/YJSQeT
MINNESOTA HOUSE—GRAVES VS. BACHMANN, ROUND TWO? Democrat Jim Graves, who came very close to unseating GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann in her Minnesota House district last November, looks like he's gearing up to challenge Bachmann again. "I know that the work we started last year, well, it isn't over," Graves wrote in an email to supporters Monday, also hitting Bachmann on her stance on the Violence Against Women Act. Graves lost to Bachmann by just 4,200 votes last fall, and told the St. Cloud Times that he'd make a decision by April 1. http://bit.ly/XOYiRq
ARKANSAS—BEEBE VETOES TOUGH ABORTION BILL: Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe vetoed his state's controversial abortion bill Monday, saying the law is "blatantly unconstitutional." The bill would have made all abortions after 12 weeks illegal—much stricter than the state's already restrictive abortion laws. Still, the state's legislature only needs a simple majority to override Beebe's veto. http://nbcnews.to/YRry8A
HILLARY LEADS IN MARYLAND POLL: The Washington Post takes the temperature on 2016 in Maryland, and finds that Clinton would be the strong frontrunner in a Democratic primary even against sitting Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley. Clinton takes 46 percent in the poll, compared with 14 percent for Vice President Biden, 7 percent for O'Malley and 5 percent for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. And asked if they'd support O'Malley in the general election if he were the Democratic nominee, just 17 percent said they'd "definitely" vote for him; 41 percent would consider voting for him and 38 percent said they would definitely not vote for him. http://wapo.st/12p2Our
JEB ON 2016—'WON'T' RULE IT OUT: Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Monday that he won't rule out a 2016 presidential bid – but that it's too early for him to express interest in it, too. Asked on "The Today Show" whether he would definitively rule out running, he said, "I won't. But I won't declare it today either." "That's way off in the future," he continued. "I have a voice. I want to share my beliefs about how the conservative moment and the Republican Party can regain its footing, because we've lost our way." Bush was on the show to promote his new book, "Immigration Wars: Forging an American Solution." http://bit.ly/XP5ux7

Population imaging of ongoing neuronal activity in the visual cortex of awake rats
It is unclear how the complex spatiotemporal organization of ongoing cortical neuronal activity recorded in anesthetized animals relates to the awake animal. We therefore used two-photon population calcium imaging in awake and subsequently anesthetized rats to follow action potential firing in populations of neurons across brain states, and examined how single neurons contributed to population activity. Firing rates and spike bursting in awake rats were higher, and pair-wise correlations were lower, compared with anesthetized rats. Anesthesia modulated population-wide synchronization and the relationship between firing rate and correlation. Overall, brain activity during wakefulness cannot be inferred using anesthesia.

How many languages do you all know? What is a good language to learn after C++?
Java is pretty similar (and should be pretty quick).
Or PERL, it's a very versitile scripting language.
Once you learn how to program in general, learning another language comes very quickly.
learn straight C and Assembler(at least the basics).

Rusty Qbasic
Becoming Rusty VBasic
Thanx everyone, any more suggestions?
I'd learn some VB and C# to use with Microsoft's .NET, because it's really helpful and fast to be able to use multiple languages to make a project.
HTML (if that's really considered a language)
A little Espanol
I would suggest learning a -little- bit of assembly, just for the sake of having some concrete idea of how computers actually work.
Callou collei we'll code the way
Of prime numbers and pings!
If you know C syntax you can make it anywhere.
Mixing languages with MSIL seems more of a way to make a mess than a way to make better programs. It reminds me of bestiality.
I was born; I shall die. Between those two events there is life. I don't know why, and I don't question it; I merely live.

Floods Working Group
Floods timeline
| Launch
| Synthesis
|Oct 2015
Example of a destructive flood triggered by heavy precipitation, August 22-23, 2005, Sainte-Agnès, France. (Credit: D. Thillet)
Floods are among the most destructive natural hazards causing widespread loss of life, damage to infrastructure and economic deprivation. Robust knowledge about their future trends is therefore crucial for the sustainable development of societies worldwide.
Ongoing climate warming is expected to lead to an intensification of the hydrological cycle and to a modification of the frequency and magnitude of hydro-meteorological extreme events. However, climate projections of the occurrence of precipitation extremes are still highly uncertain because of the complexity in precipitation pattern variations at a regional scale and a limited temporal and spatial coverage of instrumental data capturing precipitation extremes and floods.
Records of floods from lacustrine, fluvial and marine sediments, tree rings, speleothems, and historical documents, analyzed with state-of-the-art statistical tools, can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the variability of precipitation extremes and substantially improve the reliability of future flood-risk predictions. All of these data can significantly improve our understanding of the physical processes controlling the occurrence and magnitude of floods under varying past, present and near future climate states (Fig. 1).
Figure 1: Schematic illustration of the concept and goals of the Floods Working Group. Data on past floods will be collected from a variety of archive types, integrated into a database, statistically analyzed, and climatically modeled and interpreted.
Bringing together researchers from the growing community of geologists, geographers, historians, modelers, statisticians, and hydrologists investigating past flood events worldwide is timely in order to coordinate and synthesize results on the natural variability of floods. The Floods Working Group aims to provide an ideal platform to promote collaboration among the different research communities and foster scientific progress.
Due to the high-resolution flood reconstructions that can be achieved using varved lake sediments the Floods Working Group is connected to the PAGES' endorsed group, the Varves Working Group. In addition, strong links with PAGES' 2k Network are also expected, as the density of available flood data is high for the past 2,000 years.

Rangers stick with Cruz in spite of funk
Rangers stick with Cruz in spite of funk
BALTIMORE -- Nelson Cruz was in right field on Monday for the 29th straight game. He remains the only Rangers player who has started every game in the field this season and entered the four-game series against the Orioles with a career .361 batting average against Baltimore. That's the seventh-highest mark for one player with at least 100 at-bats against the O's since they moved to Baltimore in 1954. He also went into Monday's game in a 2-for-22 slump and batting .151 in his last 14 games. Cruz's last home run was on April 17 in Boston. But with Adrian Beltre and Josh Hamilton both missing time in the past week because of injuries, manager Ron Washington has been reluctant to pull Cruz from the lineup. "We're just going to keep working and sending him out there," Washington said. "He's one of our horses -- we have to keep saddling him up and riding him out there until it falls into place. Even though he's struggling, it could change with one swing of the bat. He's one of the guys we're depending on, so we've got to wait on him."
Cruz rewarded Washington's patience in the series opener at Baltimore, recording two singles and a double in his first four times to the plate.Before the game, Washington admitted that he may have to sit Cruz for a game if he doesn't start to heat up. "I've got to think about it, but with Beltre missing days and Hamilton missing days, I just can't snatch that bat out of the lineup," Washington said. "I'm going to give him time off; I just don't know when."

Police investigate rash of tire slashings
The Fairfield Police Department is investigating a series of tire slashings that occurred earlier this week.
At least four people have reported finding the tires on their car slashed between Monday evening and Wednesday morning, according to the police log at the Jefferson County Law Center. On Tuesday, someone reported two tires slashed in the 700 block of South Second Street. One person reported Wednesday they discovered their car's tires were slashed while it was parked near the intersection of Jackson and South Second Street.
One caller reported Tuesday their tires were slashed. Another stated they decided to report their tires were slashed, too, after hearing about the same thing happening to other people in town.
Fairfield Police Capt. Dave Thomas said the victims of these acts of vandalism appear to have been chosen at random. Unfortunately, he said strings of vandalism of this sort happen about three or four times every year.
"It's usually a group of juveniles who take their frustrations out on tires or mailboxes," he said. "It always seems to be a group of young guys who do this."
Thomas said the perpetrators are hard to catch because they usually commit their acts of crime in the middle of the night.
"It's a tough crime to solve right away because there are rarely witnesses," he said. "We usually solve them by talking to our informants or other people. The [perpetrators] like to brag about what they've done, and we hear about it later on."
Thomas said he has been asked about whether the tire slashings occurred while officers were called away to the Tribune building Tuesday afternoon because it was in danger of collapse. He hasn't gone through the call records yet to determine if that was the case, although he said the criminals would have to be awfully brazen to commit such acts in broad daylight.
"Our investigator is looking into it, and he'll talk to the other officers to establish if there was a pattern [to the vandalism]," Thomas said.

Everyone loves the Roaring Twenties. Prohibition was in full force, secret speakeasies taunted the authorities' tee-total ambitions, and women were asserting their power by abandoning restrictive fashion in place of shorter hemlines and flapper dresses.
All in all, society was changing. It was all about relaxing, having fun and prosperity.
With the long-awaited Great Gatsby movie reviving that era of glamour, feathers, and clandestine dealings, these nails will help get you straight into the swinging spirit of the decade. So grab yourself some bathtub gin, pour it into your finest china tea cup, and try this tutorial out.

IMF warns Coalition on high pay in civil service
Report comes as Kenny vows to secure €1bn cuts in Croke Park II
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has issued a strong warning to the Government that high pay levels in the public sector must be addressed, highlighting their premium over private sector workers.
The report's findings comes as Taoiseach Enda Kenny has warned that unless the new Croke Park deal delivers the needed €1bn in additional savings, then the Government will legislate to achieve them.
When asked whether pay and increments should be included in the pending negotiations with trade unions, Mr Kenny said Public Expenditure Minister Brendan Howlin will have "full flexibility" to achieve the necessary savings.
Mr Kenny is facing increasing unhappiness within his own party and Cabinet over the rigid limitations contained in the current Croke Park deal.
In its latest report on Ireland, the IMF said that if growth is weaker than projected in 2013, the Government should defer any additional austerity until 2015 to allow the economy to grow.
However, it highlighted significant fragilities through various sectors in the Irish economy, and pointed to the pay premiums in the public sector as an area where costs could be reduced.
"Base estimates suggest a wage premium of 14 per cent for a public sector employee earning the median wage relative to the private sector," the report said.
Conflicting with earlier domestic data, the report said the pay gap is larger at lower salary levels at up to 20 per cent.
But even higher paid earners maintain a premium of at least seven per cent.
"Estimates indicate a public wage premium remains for the majority of public employees, especially at the lower ends," the report said.
Analysis pages 23-25
It also recommended tackling the pay bill in Health as a means of addressing the continual budget overruns. "There are options to reduce overtime and premium payments through substantially-improved work practices and rostering arrangements for key groups."
At his Christmas briefing for political correspondents last week, Mr Kenny said he wants to see a more focused and targeted public sector deal in place "as quickly as possible". He said: "I want to see the mandate given the minister for Public Expenditure and Reform to result in a new Croke Park deal. We need this in place as quickly as possible. Clearly we want an extra €1bn in savings by 2015, with €300m of that coming in 2013 in new savings, in addition to what is in the existing Croke Park deal. The sooner this can happen the better."
Mr Kenny was critical of the current Croke Park deal which he said lacked focus.
"Croke Park did not have specific targets set in there. There were no targets for payroll so it is important that be moved on as quickly as possible," he said.
In response to a question from the Sunday Independent as to whether or not everything should be on the table, Mr Kenny said: "The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform has been mandated by Government to get involved now in the production of a new Croke Park arrangement to bring about extra savings of a billion by 2015, with €300m in extra savings next year.
"So, that allows for 'full flexibility' to make those savings and at the end of the day, Government reserves the right if things are not happening to take legislative action."

RANCHO SAN DIEGO Daniel Vasquez is not a member of the Breakfast Club. In fact, he wasn't even born when the movie came out in 1985.
But the Granite Hills High junior right-hander loves to pitch on Saturdays.
"There are just so many positive things when you pitch on Saturdays," Vasquez said, "like not having to go to school before the game. I feel so much more relaxed. It's not rush-rush-rush."
Vasquez was on top of his game Saturday at Steele Canyon as he pitched a complete game seven-hitter while walking none and striking out five.
But pitching was only part of his contribution to the Eagles' 3-2 victory. He also blasted a two-run homer in the top of the seventh to erase a 2-1 deficit.
That victory was the start to a Granite Hills Grossmont Hills League doubleheader sweep of the Cougars as the Eagles won the second-game marathon 5-3 in 12 innings. Vasquez, who played center field in the nightcap, was 2-for-5.
"I never go up there thinking about hitting a home run," Vasquez said.
He shouldn't. Granite Hills has only three homers in 19 games this season. However, the Eagles still find ways to win as evidenced by their 13-6, 4-1 record.
The hit that decided the opening game at Steele Canyon cleared the fence with a few feet to spare.
"I made it look like I was going to slash the ball," Vasquez recalled, "but then I squared up and got a fastball inside. I made good contact."
As for his pitching, Vasquez notched his fifth win without a loss. He has a 2.00 ERA in 35 innings.
"The majority of my pitches were two-seamers and I stayed with it because it was working so well," he said.
Steele Canyon's hard-luck loser in the opener, Alex Vesia, pitched a complete game four-hitter and struck out 11.
In the second game the Cougars (13-7, 2-3) rallied from a 3-1 deficit on a two-run single by Tanner Perry but couldn't hold on. The Eagles eventually pushed in front on a bases-loaded sacrifice fly by Justin Mitchell in the top of the 12th.

"The Bachelor" had a change of heart, leaving his fiancee in a lurch and viewers up in arms.
Jason Mesnick, a 32-year-old single dad, proposed to Melissa Rycroft in Monday night's season finale of the ABC reality dating show. But in the subsequent "After the Final Rose" special, taped six weeks after Mesnick's proposal, he told Rycroft he was dumping her because he still had feelings for the runner-up, Molly Malaney.
Hurt and angry, Rycroft said: "Don't call me and don't talk to me. Leave me alone."
Mesnick said he hated himself for what he was doing. Rycroft gave her ring back and walked off stage.
Then Malaney came out and she agreed to give Mesnick another shot at love.
Every season of "The Bachelor" promises to be "the most dramatic yet," but the results of the Mesnick love triangle are sparking passionate discussion on Internet message boards and forums.
A post-finale recap on Entertainment Weekly's Web site called Mesnick "an even bigger jackass than we thought." More than 1,700 comments have been posted in response, many lashing out at the Seattle account executive for burning Rycroft in such a jarring fashion. Especially since Rycroft, a 25-year-old sales representative from Dallas, had professed her love for him and excitement over being stepmom to Mesnick's 3-year-old son, Ty, from a previous marriage.
"Jason is such a loser and Melissa deserves a guy who is not a dog in disguise," said a commenter named "sprunginto." "With regard to this finale being better or worse than any other, it was really not a whole lot different except that the love birds managed to fall out of love in less time than usual, allowing ABC to milk this as a `shocker.'"
Mesnick even alienated one of his most public cheerleaders: Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who lashed out at him and the show Tuesday on "The View."
"I really thought he was a good guy and he had his act together. ...I am DONE with `The Bachelor'!" said Hasselbeck, aching for those "three hours of my life I will never get back."
Mesnick said on Jimmy Kimmel's talk show Monday that his relationship with Rycroft took a turn for the worse when production ended and they returned to reality. He said the chemistry was off and Rycroft "knew exactly what was going on" before her rejection at the "After the Final Rose" taping.
"I lived my honest, true life, and I developed feelings for two girls," he said, defending the switch.
ABC representative Cathy Rehl said Mesnick was unavailable for an interview Tuesday. Rehl did not respond to interview requests for "Bachelor" host Chris Harrison and producers.
Monday's two-hour season ender was the highest-rated program of the night with 15.45 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research. It's the most-watched "Bachelor" finale since November 2003, when Bob Guiney picked Estella Gardinier. (That relationship fizzled out and Guiney married soap-opera actress Rebecca Budig in the summer of 2004.)
Part Two of "After The Finale Rose" is slated to air Tuesday at 10 p.m. EST.

Registration set to hit the wires for spring termSept. 11, 1996
By Summer Blackwell
Lariat Reporter
Baylor students will be able to preregister for spring classes this fall by using Bear Touch Telephone registration.
Telephone registration is an entirely computerized system, so when students call the BearTouch telephone number, they will hear a recorded message followed by a menu that features several options. From these options, students can select a meal plan, arrange for a parking decal and register for classes.
Telephone registration will allow most students to register and change schedules without the signature of an adviser. However, some degree plans will require that students be advised in person.
Academic advisement information will be printed in the Spring 1997 Schedule of Classes.
Students will be assigned a day to register according to their classification and the first letter of their last names. A student may register on, but not before, their scheduled day. After a student's scheduled day has passed he/she may register on any designated open day or weekend. An early registration schedule will be included in the schedule of classes.
Anna Kay Hollon Harris, assistant registrar and manager of registration, said it is essential students refer to the information provided in the Schedule of Classes booklet. The Schedule of Classes will tell students how to register, when to register and which degrees require advisement.
The Schedule of Classes will no longer be sold in the Baylor Book Store. The schedule of classes, which previously cost $1, will be available at no charge.
Students may pick up a schedule of classes 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Den Hall (the hallway near the television room) of the Bill Daniel Student Center on the date designated by their classification: Sept. 16, freshmen; Sept. 17, graduate students; Sept. 18, seniors; Sept. 19, juniors; and Sept. 20, sophomores.
BearTouch made its debut last March when a pilot group of students registered for their summer and fall courses by telephone. The group included students from the Hankamer School of Business, the School of Education, and the psychology and sociology departments of the College of Arts and Sciences.
About 2,200 students were eligible to register by telephone. Only one-third of that number, however, actually participated.
Barbara Gillum, manager of undergraduate advising and degree planning in Hankamer, said students' responses toward the new system varied.
'Some students were frightened by the new system, but others were excited because they had done it before at other schools,' she said.
Harris said she was pleased with how well telephone registration worked last spring. She said the only significant problem was that the date for Dean's List students to register came before their date to register by telephone. Because of this problem, some students were not able to use BearTouch.
Harris said the few problems that did arise have been remedied, making telephone registration easier and more convenient.
Although most students will be allowed to register by telephone, some students who are not eligible for telephone registration. Freshmen, first semester transfer students, freshmen challenge program students, athletes and students on academic probation will not be able to register by telephone.
There are also some graduate programs that will use telephone registration, such as the School of Business, Institute of Graduate Statistics and clinical psychology. Students in these programs may register by mail through their graduate programs or come to the Registrar's Office.

Umbilical cords as a source of stem cells are of increasing interest for cell therapies as they present little ethical consideration and are reported to contain immune privileged cells which may be suitable for allogeneic based therapies. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) sourced from several different cord regions, including artery, vein, cord lining, and Wharton's jelly, are described in the literature. However, no one study has yet isolated and characterised MSCs from all regions of the same cord to determine the most suitable cells for cell based therapeutics.

First peak at Sebastian Inlet is often a first stop on many Central Florida surf missions. Photo: Jimmy Wilson
The Space Coast
Words: Chris Towery
Where: The Space Coast of Central Florida encompasses roughly 40 miles of beach along the state's Atlantic coast, from Cape Canaveral to Sebastian Inlet. The region houses a collection of small coastal towns, each possessing a smattering of breaks, accommodations, and surf stars.
What: Although you won't need your big-wave gun or helmet here, what Central Florida lacks in size and power is made up for by the sheer volume of spots, year-round warm water, and user-friendly lineups. Driving along coastal highway A1A, you can check practically every break from your car, and with numerous public beach access points, getting to the waves is never a problem. Whether it's logging tip time at Canaveral Pier, charging the Boardwalk's shore-break barrels, or a mag photo session at First Peak, Sebastian Inlet, all ages and skill levels will discover something enjoyable. Most spots are sand bottom, with the exception of a few scattered cocina reefs. And unless you find midwinter water temps in the 60s particularly cold, you can leave the thick rubber at home.

When: From September through November, the Atlantic hurricane season is at its peak, while the first fronts and Nor'easters are just starting to arrive. This often provides for days—and even weeks—of consistent ground- and windswell, trunkable water temps, and sometimes-favorable winds. Just keep your eye out for a good sandbar.
Why: Simplicity and history. Travel is extremely cheap and hassle-free, boasting the beauty and weather of the tropics, without the malaria and dirt-bag accommodations. Despite a small-wave reputation, the region's gem—Sebastian Inlet—offers a handful of diverse breaks, all capable of producing truly world-class surf. There are also often consistent peaks to be found further north in Patrick Air Force Base or Cocoa Beach. Central Florida is the unofficial surfing capital of the U.S. East Coast, with a burgeoning industry and culture on par with anywhere in the world. Want to witness the future of surfing? Watch the hyperactive pack of groms at the Inlet's Kiddie Bowl. Want to see some of the most progressive shaping trends? Take a stroll down shaper's lane—Tomahawk Drive—in Indian Harbour Beach. Want to sample the lineups that gave rise to ASP World Champions Kelly Slater and C.J. Hobgood and possibly even surf alongside them? Paddle out at any top break on a decent swell, and you just might find yourself rubbing elbows with a champ.
Hometown heroes: Kelly, CJ, and Shea. Photo: Jimmy Wilson
How: No mind-numbingly long flights or currency exchange hassles here. For those on most of the East Coast, simply get on I-95 and head south. If you're far away, book a flight to either Orlando International (usually the cheapest fares and one hour and fifteen minutes from the waves) or Melbourne International (fifteen minutes from the action). Either way, you'll want to rent a car, since wave quality varies from spot-to-spot, depending on the swell. Not to mention, unless you're camping, you'll be staying at least a few miles from Sebastian Inlet, which is located inside an isolated state park.
Places To Stay: As one of the largest tourist destinations in the world, Central Florida is loaded with all manner of accommodations. From small, family-run motels to plush, four-star resorts in the bigger towns, there's something for every budget. There's also great camping at Sebastian Inlet State Park and nearby Long Point.
Photo: Jimmy Wilson
Places To Eat: The dining options are nearly endless, and in several surfer-friendly eateries you may even find locals willing to dial you in to the spots breaking best. Bizzaros has insane New York-style pizza, and it's located directly behind Indialantic's Boardwalk. Just down the street is Long Doggers, which offers killer hotdogs, hamburgers, and cold beer. For massive burritos, hit Da Kine Diegos in Satellite Beach. And following dawn patrol in Melbourne Beach, get your grub on at The Friendly Toast Café on Ocean Avenue.
Babes And Bros: The bustling population of hot local surfers is perhaps only rivaled by an equally hot population of local ladies. But nowadays, the girls aren't content to sit idly by while the guys catch all the waves, and you'll also encounter packs of girls in the lineup. Be warned, though, some of these chicks rip harder than you, so check your ego at the shoreline if you're looking for love.
You know you're in Florida when you see this. Photo: Jimmy Wilson
The Crowd Factor: Thanks to the non-threatening conditions, practically everyone here owns a surfboard. That doesn't mean everyone can surf, but some days it certainly seems like they're all out trying. From pasty tourists in banana hammocks to drunken rednecks on bodyboards, the flotsam can reach staggering levels. Plus, there are plenty of ultra-talented pros dominating the better breaks. Localism isn't really a problem, but occasional verbal altercations and fistfights do occur when it's packed. Fortunately, there's so much shoreline, an empty peak is just a short walk down the beach.
Stuff To Bring: Unless you luck into a once-in-a-decade swell, you'll never need anything bigger than your standard shortboard. You might want to bring along an extra board with more volume and width to maximize wave-catching. The climate is sub-tropical, so boardshorts and a springsuit will suffice for all but January and February, when you might need a 3/2 full. Just make sure to pack plenty of sunscreen and a rashguard; they don't call it the Sunshine State for nothing.
Photo: Jimmy Wilson
If The Surf Is Flat: Thanks to Disney's Typhoon Lagoon wavepool, the surf never goes completely flat. Gather some buddies to split the $1,500 price tag, and you'll enjoy three hours of chest-high, chlorinated perfection, with your choice of lefts, rights, or A-frames. Looking for cheaper entertainment? Visit Ron Jon, which at two stories tall, is the world's largest surf shop and open 24 hours. And this is the Space Coast, so don't miss the breathtaking spectacle of a shuttle or rocket launch. Check local papers for launch dates, and then hit a nearby beach for a front-row view. Even if you don't catch an actual launch, the Kennedy Space Center offers a recently revamped visitor's center with loads of exhibits and even a simulated Space Shuttle ride—not to mention the neighboring Canaveral National Seashore and desolate Playalinda beach is breathtaking, just watch out for nudists and alligators.

The lights are on
Earlier today, we shared with you a preview of Insomniac's upcoming Xbox One shooter, Sunset Overdrive. You've also seen some screenshots and read an interview with company founder Ted Price. Now, see the game in action.
Sunset Overdrive takes place in 2027 in the middle of an energy drink-fueled mutant outbreak. You'll meet characters from a number of different factions, like Troop Bushido and the Fargarths.
You'll also get your hands on some typically far out Insomniac weapons like the Captain Ahab and the Roman Candle Gun. The video also includes some information on the amp system, which can drastically change the way you play.
Insomniac says this is the game they've been building up to for 20 years. With that in mind, they have announced a special Day One Edition (similar to the Dead Rising, Ryse, and Forza versions that launched with the Xbox One).
If you get the Day One edition, you'll have access to the Nothing but Hits gun that shoots out vinyl records (as seen as the trailer). You'll also get the It's Me! Fizzie! outfit to dress up as the Overcharge mascot. Finally, the Hardcore Hammer, made of a bat and spiked dumbbells, will let you pound mutants into the ground.
Sunset Overdrive is coming this fall for Xbox One. We expect to have more from E3 in June.
Looks like a fun rental
I like things that are different. Definitely another reason to get an xbox one for me
It's like Dead Rising but even way more betterer. This sounds like the kind of game that I must has.
This looks INSANE! Imagine playing multiplayer with a bunch of other people *O*
A definite day one buy! Just have to wait till E3 to get a release date probably.
This looks to finally be a good title from Insomniac, after Fuse and Resistance 3 I was thinking they'd fade into oblivion..Good for them!
That is a really grating trailer, but the game looks like a ridiculous amount of fun.
Looks better than I expected, actually.
They got me on the "THIRD PERSON VIEW" part!!! I'm sold!! :D

I bought a Bissell 1698K power wash and have come to realise that I should have just chucked my money down the nearest drain. It is the most useless waste of space ever! It managed to work twice and then started with one problem after another. I have just forked out again for two new belts and two new red plastic retainers (as the originals snapped during use). The Bissell spares company charged me £10.40 for two postage sized pieces of plastic and £4 postage and packing. Total rip off. However, I persevered and replaced all the 'faulty' parts as recommended. It still would not work and now will only fire water out of the spray tool. After managing to do around 1m sq of my carpet the machine overheated and stank the house out with the smell of burning plastic. It now resides in the garage with the rest of the junk waiting to go to the dumpit site. Don't buy one - don't waste your money! I have to give the machine a star rating - pity there is no option for ZERO!

Same problem. Used mine once, worked fine, second time of usage, the smart mix tanks fails to pump out any shampoo. I've taken it apart and cleaned all the pipes within the unit and still no joy. Think I'll have to dig out my old vax.

Hi Ryan. Yes, it's something that WordPress.com has decided to roll out to themes that support it, starting with Twenty Ten and Twenty Eleven. Here's the current list. http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/infinite-scroll/
If the theme has a footer widget area, it can be turned off by putting even a blank text widget into the footer.
If you want to read more, check out the other threads tagged "infinite scroll".
Thanks Jennifer, I did a quick search but didn't find anything else on the topic.
I wish WordPress.com would stop messing with my site. I hosted it here as I figured it was a worry free approach so that I didn't need to worry about maintaining my site. I don't like knowing that my site can be modified quite heavily like this without doing it myself.
It seems most of those other topics are closed, so I'll complain here instead.
I don't mind if WordPress.com implements infinite scrolling, but please don't do it my site without either (a) prompting me to select it, or (b) warning me in advance so that I can turn it off when it is implemented.
@Jennifer - thanks for the widget tip. That did the trick nicely :)
Welcome to the Wonderful World of WordPress.com, where decisions are made for you. In most cases, users are neither consulted nor considered.
And, you'll probably want to know about the latest change coming to WordPress.com, responsive design in the Dashboard.
Glad you were able to disable IS. :)
All your choices are belong to AutoMATTic.
I run WordPress trunk on my main site and all my test installs, so I think I've been running that responsive dashboard for quite a while now. I'm not too worried about admin panel changes anyway, it's just abrupt changes to the front-end of the site that perturbs me.
Have a great weeknd and best wishes with your blog.
With self-hosted sites, I wouldn't worry too much. WP will build it into core, but it is up to the theme designers to add it to their themes, if they so choose. Unlike AutoMATTic though I would expect most theme designers will include a toggle in theme options that will allow the user to choose whether or not to use it.
And, thankfully, the trigger width before one column kicked in was changed to 850 pixels.
This topic has been closed to new replies.

Redesign Delays Reconstruction in Typhoon-Hit Philippines
Reconstruction in areas in the central Philippines where Typhoon Haiyan demolished infrastructure in November is facing delays, with the government choosing to redesign some temporary housing after construction had started, officials say.
The government is building bunk houses to temporarily house tens of thousands of victims, many of who are still living in evacuation centers and tent cities two months after the typhoon hit. But a change in the design, based around suggestions from reconstruction experts, has led to a setback.

Special Fourth in Seattle for nation's newest citizens
At Friday's naturalization ceremony at Seattle Center, 429 immigrants and refugees from 70 countries took the Oath of Allegiance.
Seattle Times technology reporter
Amid cheers and a flurry of waving American flags, 429 women and men from 70 countries became U.S. citizens Friday.
At the naturalization ceremony at Seattle Center, the immigrants and refugees took the Oath of Allegiance and were welcomed as the country's newest citizens by dignitaries including Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, Gov. Jay Inslee and U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash.
"We cannot wait to see what you are going to do," Cantwell said, citing the contributions of immigrants-turned-citizens such as Satya Nadella, Microsoft's new CEO.
Inslee encouraged the new citizens to become "full citizens" by registering to vote, writing, criticizing and taking part in American democracy.
The ceremony came on a day in which people around Puget Sound gathered to celebrate Independence Day, with the largest crowds being drawn to Lake Union, scene of a planned 20-minute fireworks show.
At Seattle Center, the new citizens who took the oath outside Fisher Pavilion are among the 9,000 people taking part in more than 100 naturalization ceremonies nationwide from June 30 to July 5.
U.S. Circuit Court Judge Richard Tallman administered the oath in Seattle. The largest groups were from India (57), Canada (41), the Philippines (38), and China and Ethiopia (each with 23).
Anant Sundaram, 36, and his wife, Rashmi Anant, 33, emigrated from India six years ago. They were at the ceremony Friday with their 3-year-old daughter.
"It's exciting to begin a new chapter in our lives," said Sundaram, who works at Microsoft.
Shelema Bekele, 27, from Ethiopia, came to the U.S. six years ago and now studies computer engineering at the University of Washington while working part time at an Amazon.com warehouse.
Bekele said he was excited to be here "for the better economic opportunity."
Margarita Sakovets, 24, who came from Belarus about 10 years ago, has since graduated from the UW and is now overseeing marketing for an IT company.
"It's been a very long road," she said. "I'm very grateful and excited to be in this country. This ceremony is the last step to become a citizen and I cannot wait to become one."
Marina Elkova, 47, who came from Russia, said that for years her family had marked July 4 because it's her father's birthday.
They would also usually say a toast for Americans then because they knew it was American Independence Day.
This year, "on the Fourth of July, I'm taking the oath," she said. "It gives me goose bumps."

Tracey Wright may not be a household name, even in her native Canada, but despite this she was involved in a lot of great stuff before her untimely passing in June of last year at the age of fifty from pancreatic cancer. When it was found out that she was terminally ill, some of her regular co-conspirators from the decades she had spent working in the Canadian film, TV and theater industries worked together on this project, knowing that in all likelihood it would be her last. And it was.
Directed by Bruce McDonald, best known for Highway 61 and Hardcore Logo, 2010's Trigger begins with a flashback to what we can assume where the grunge ridden 1990s where the titular band, lead by Vic (Tracey Wright) and Kat (Molly Parker), basically disintegrates on stage, some years of alcohol and drug abuse having finally taken their toll. Vic and Kat went their separate ways with Vic staying in her native Toronto shaking up with her pseudo-boyfriend (Wright's husband and McDonald regular Don McKeller) while staying true to her musical roots, and Kat having fled south for a cushy job in Los Angeles.
The core of the movie focuses on their reunion. Kat arranges to have Vic meet her at a fancy restaurant where she 'knows the chef' and shows up forty-five minutes late. After some restrained small talk, the digs start flying and the two ladies start laying into one another but as it so happens, there's a tribute to 'Women In Rock' being held in Toronto this very night - Kat talks Vic into begrudgingly attending and when they realize that their music did have some impact way back when, a very quick one song reunion takes place on stage that night, which leads to a visit to the after party and then the ensuing early morning hours which come afterwards. Throughout all of this are two women who obviously care about one another very much, but who just can't quite seem to find themselves in spite of this.
Parker and Wright, who worked together previously on McDonald's short lived TV series Twitch City (a fairly brilliant show that didn't get nearly the lifespan it deserved which cast Parker alongside McKeller as 'roommates' in Toronto) but here they really prove their stuff. This somehow makes a movie that is basically seventy eight minutes of two women arguing into something more, something that you actually care about even if you know that in the grand scheme of things you probably shouldn't. Maybe it's middle age setting in on the part of this writer but there's something almost tragic about the way that these two deal with their issues and something equally touching about the way that they do manage to put aside their differences, if only to a certain extent and not without stepping on one another's toes in a big way in the process.
McDonald's direction here is as stagy as the script and aside from a few scenes shout outside on the streets of Toronto, you almost get the impression that you could be watching a live theater production here. Though this is common with films that are almost nothing but dialogue, as this one is, the performances are so strong that you don't mind it so much. Had this been acted by lesser talent it would have sunk and sunk fast but it wasn't and as such, the film turns out to be strangely engrossing and a fitting swansong to Wright's career.
The DVD
Trigger looks pretty good in this 1.78.1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. The picture is a little soft sometimes but it's probably a safe guess that it was shot that way. There are no problems with print damage at all and color reproduction looks as it should. Black levels are good but never hit reference quality while skin tones generally look nice and natural. All in all, the picture quality here is pretty standard and it looks just fine.Sound:
Two English language options are provided - Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound - and both sound quite good. The 5.1 track is the way to go if you've got the setup for it, as it helps bring the music to life with a little more power but both mixes feature crisp, clear dialogue and properly balanced levels. The score sounds great here, and if the lower end isn't all that powerful, well, this is a very dialogue-centric film, it doesn't necessarily need to be. Optional English closed captioning is also provided.Extras:
Extras are slim on this disc, limited to a trailer for the feature, trailer for a few other Wolfe Video releases, and a two minute clip of the two lead actresses practicing some line readings. Chapter stops and menus are also included.Final Thoughts:
While Trigger might be a little stagey, there's good reason for that as McDonald wisely let's his two leading ladies do all the heavy lifting here and to impressive effect at that. What may, on the surface, look like a cross between a trendy indy rock slice of life movie and a chick flick turns out to be a rock solid character heavy piece that works as a showcase for the considerable talents of Parker and Wright. Wolfe's DVD is light on extras but it looks and sounds good. This is an appropriately endearing finale for one of Canada's more underappreciated actresses and comes recommended.

It's great having a best friend to do everything with–but not so great when they go away. Trixie the golden retriever longs for her buddy Jinx the dachshund when Jinx goes on vacation.

Besides the high-capacity 16GB mobile memory cards, SanDisk has also announced their new slotRadio Player. This small, stylish and portable music device is bundled with a slotRadio card which is preloaded with 1,000 songs handpicked from the Billboard charts, and professionally arranged into a variety of genre-themed playlists.
Plug-and-Play Model Offered by the Card-Plus-Player Format Radically Lowers the Entry Barriers to Enjoying Digital Music, Ushering in a New Medium for Digital Music Consumption
CES 2009, South Hall, Booth # 30659, LAS VEGAS — SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK), the inventor and world's largest supplier of flash storage cards, today unveiled the new Sansa® slotRadio™ player and companion line of slotRadio music cards designed especially for the casual music consumer. The Sansa slotRadio player is a small, stylish, portable music device that comes bundled with a slotRadio card preloaded with 1,000 songs handpicked from the Billboard® charts, and professionally arranged into a variety of genre-themed playlists.
"slotRadio's unprecedented simplicity will have even the most time-pressed music fans enjoying a huge range of music in no time," said Daniel Schreiber, senior vice president and general manager, SanDisk. "1,000 handpicked songs in your pocket with zero downloads makes enjoying digital music easier than ever. Never before has music been this accessible."
The immediacy of the plug-and-play model offered by the card-plus-player format ushers in a new way for consumers to enjoy music. To date, portable music devices typically required software installations, followed by time-consuming music selection and file-by-file downloading, topped off with cable connections and synchronization.
"slotRadio dramatically lowers these barriers, offering a genuine alternative to existing options," said Noam Kedem, vice president of product management, SanDisk. "This makes slotRadio a perfect player for the pressed-for-time mom, the harried traveler, the can't-stop-now fitness fanatic, as well as anyone who just wants to kick back and discover new songs, or re-discover a timeless favorite."
The player comes bundled with a slotRadio mix card containing 1,000 songs. It features a variety of playlists from Billboard's charts, including rock, contemporary, country, and others organized into themes such as "chillout," "workout" and more. While songs cannot be removed from the card, users can easily navigate between the playlists, and skip through songs at the press of a button.
"slotRadio offers a uniquely uncomplicated portable digital music experience, combining the music discovery aspects of radio with consumer choice in genre selection," said Susan Kevorkian, Program Director, Consumer Markets at IDC. "Solutions like slotRadio that offer competitively priced, straightforward new ways to acquire and interact with music will play a key role in driving demand among new and existing digital music device and service users as those markets continue to evolve."
Priced at USD99.99 (MSRP)—including the 1,000 song card—the die-cast aluminum player also features a 1.5-inch OLED screen for viewing artist and song information, a FM radio and even an integrated, handy belt clip for hands-free listening. Additional 1,000 song, genre-specific and themed slotRadio cards will be sold separately at USD39.99 MSRP.
The Sansa slotRadio player is expected to be available for purchase online at sansa.com and at more than 4,400 RadioShack stores nationwide in early 2009.
The Sansa slotRadio cards are designed to be interchangeable with any slotRadio player and will be also compatible with the Sansa® Fuze™ line of MP3 players.
The Sansa slotRadio Player expands SanDisk's Sansa audio/video product family, which includes the recently introduced slotMusic™ player and cards for avid fans, the popular Sansa Fuze™ and the small Sansa® Clip.

I already have this in my prop file, this does not implement insecure adb. Ktoonsez kernel is the only one for TW that has it implemented properly. Going to any other kernel for TW, I have to use Insecure ADBD by Chainfire.

NACWA and AMWA identify several collaborative actions to advance water sector resilience
The National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) and the Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies (AMWA) released the Water Resilience Summit Summary and Next Steps white paper. NACWA and AMWA co-hosted the Water Resilience Summit, April 9 to 10, as part of Water Week 2014, bringing more than 50 wastewater utility, drinking water utility, private sector and federal officials together for a day-and-a-half facilitated dialogue on climate and resilience issues.
Although there are no simple solutions to climate change resilience, NACWA and AMWA, have identified several collaborative actions in the report to advance water sector resilience. These actions will need further cooperation with and among key federal agencies to succeed, but recent developments offer some evidence that despite the enormity of the challenge, progress is already being made. In the few months since the summit, the federal government has taken several positive actions on resilience that could benefit municipalities and are mentioned in the white paper, including the Flood Resilience Checklist, released by the U.S. EPA.
Resilience is one of the most significant challenges facing clean water utilities today. It is a key consideration in the sector's rapid transformation to the Utility of the Future (UOTF) as utilities build for the future while pioneering innovative technologies, and cutting-edge practices with a focus on resource recovery.
NACWA is committed to providing opportunities for dialogue and collaboration to ensure that the array of UOTF issues—whether related to resilience, energy production, water reuse, green infrastructure or watershed-based approaches—are priorities with Congress, the administration and other key stakeholders going forward.

After I felt in love to Roger I consider you are the 2-nd or 3-rd my favourite if to take into consideration also Santoro. I mean among now playing players. Today u didn't lose to that ugly boy running very fast just because of his natural health and youth, today conversely u showed with your ugly and weak health( comparatively with all players among first 10 and even more, maybe except Davydenko) that you are playing GREAT tennis. What you lack? A little more resolution, my friend. You are 23 and still you have big chances to win more tournaments than u did. Don't relax boy so early. U did so little comparatively with yr talent. Go and don't return defeated !!!
