The employees at RF Micro Devices in Greensboro each take home $34,000 after taxes.
Raleigh | A group of 20 people who work manufacturing jobs at RF Micro Devices in Greensboro matched all five white balls in the Aug. 4 Powerball drawing, winning a $1 million prize.
The members of the group, which calls itself "The Lotto Twenty," each received a prize of $50,000.
"Each payday we play five dollars worth of tickets on whatever game has the higher jackpot," said Tonya Scales, the group's spokesperson. "I went online and saw all five numbers light up yellow… I said, 'We won a million dollars.'"
Each winner received a check for $34,000 after taxes were withheld. Members have different plans for their prize money, including paying bills, helping family, contributing to college funds and taking vacations. The group has played lottery games together for more than a year.
By matching all five white balls but not the red Power Ball, the group beat odds of 1 in 5,153,633.
"This is a group of good people," Scales said. "I felt like we were blessed."
The Powerball jackpot for Wednesday's drawing is an estimated $212 million if taken as an annuity or $142.9 million if the lump sum option is chosen. If a North Carolina player were to match all six numbers in the drawing, it would be the biggest win in the state since the lottery launched in 2006.
If no one wins, the jackpot for Saturday's drawing will grow to an estimated $253 million.

At a time when food prices are sky-high, enriching countries such as Canada, the hungry people in the world - 800 million of them - don't always get food aid when they need it most. And they don't have a seat at the table where life-and-death matters are decided.
Canada should help change that. It is chairing the Food Aid Committee, a little-known body of wealthy countries that imposes a legal obligation on its members to provide development assistance. As it stands, if a country doesn't live up to its yearly promise, no worries - it can catch up next year, when prices drop. That's just one of many perverse incentives when some of the richest countries on Earth share their wealth with the poorest. And the poorest have no place in the deliberations.
Canada could push, when the committee meets Monday [MONDAY]/note>, to allow poor nations to observe and speak. This could lead to more effective aid at a time when the need is growing more desperate, because of sharply rising prices, drought and other natural disasters whose frequency will only increase in an era of climate change.
Some countries may object to anything that makes their record more transparent. Others may worry about kleptocrats trying to dictate the terms of aid. But countries that are permitted some form of representation could be obliged, in return, to take on commitments of their own - to ensure the safety of food-aid workers, the security of food aid and the independence of food-aid agencies. And never to use food as a political or military instrument.
Canada, respected for its humanitarian record on food aid, has a great deal of moral suasion with the committee. It could use that suasion to bring north and south together, increasing the chance that the billions spent on food aid will work in the emergencies to come.Report Typo/Error

At Bungie's GDC 2013 presentation, the developer showed off a behind-the-scenes video for their online shooter Destiny. The video shows off sketches, paintings, and 3D models of some of the game's characters.
Destiny takes place seven hundred years in the future. After a calamity known only as the Collapse, mankind was all but wiped out. The few survivors now live in a city watched over by a white sphere known as the Traveler. Players take on the role of the Guardians of this city, who must fend off hostile aliens looking to conquer humanity.
As the video demonstrates, there are several different alien races that players will face off against. The Vex are robots capable of time travel. The Cabal are a bulky species with heavy armor and weapons.
The player characters are similarly diverse. Players can choose from several different classes. Titans are well-armored gunslingers, while Hunters are sneaky sniper types. Warlocks, meanwhile, are assisted in battle by robotic companions.
Destiny is in development for current-gen and next-gen consoles. It may also come to the PC.

Joystick Gamebar on Edgewood, in the old Dynamic Dish space – I like this place. I had a nice beer from BlueTarp Brewing Co. from Decatur. I had a damn fine, slutty thin-style double burger from Illegal Food, who has partnered with Joystick to prepare some cared for grub. And I played NBA Jams, Tournament Edition with some dudes from Canada who were super stoked to be here. We got smoked by Ewing and the Knicks.
It really is a solid place to start an evening, or maybe end one, before we ventured to a few spots in the Edgewood area.
With the burger – fries with homemade onion dip? Yessir.
Fried oysters with spicy dipping sauce and remoulade? No problems here. Tasty indeed.
I will be back, packing quarters.

A couple of reasons, neither of which is very convincing: 1. the HC files are sensitive to platform differences, so I'm not sure that HC files generated for one flavour of Linux would necessarily work on other flavours, for example. 2. building from HC files isn't well supported, and tends to be rather fragile, so we don't like to encourage it. The reason it isn't well supported is just lack of time. Cheers, Simon

In discussing the revolution in computer and network technology over the past 50 years at the Brookings Institution yesterday, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, estimated that by next year his toaster will have an Internet connection.
"By this time next year I'm sure my toaster will be connected to the Internet and probably be tweeting about it. I can see it now -- hash-tag 'burnedtoast@quarters6,'" Dempsey said.
He also pointed out that research backed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency helped spark that revolution. While we all know DARPA (not Al Gore) invented the Internet, Dempsey said DARPA-funded research also led to development of the computer mouse.
Forty-six years ago this week, Douglas Engelbart, a Stanford University researcher funded by DARPA, submitted a patent application titled "X-Y position indicator for a display system," which Engelbart nicknamed a "mouse."
There are more than a billion computer mice in use today, and Dempsey said their widespread use resulted from a Defense Department license to Apple of the Engelbart patent developed on the taxpayer dime "for a meager $40,000."

The Chapel of Our Lady of Grace is the place of worship for Briar Cliff students, faculty and employees, along with the surrounding community. The chapel is also home to music recitals and academic ceremonies during the school year.
The Our Lady of Grace chapel was designed by Barry Byrne and completed in 1959. A large part of Byrne's practice was in church architecture, and he was the first American to design a Catholic church outside of the United States. Adjacent to the chapel is a small courtyard dedicated to Saint Francis, which contains a statue of Francis and Saint Anthony.
The chapel originally had a bell tower, which had to be removed because of structural damage.

My oldest daughter is getting one of the pink rayon chenille scarves for Christmas, and her roommate loves blues and teals, so one these will be for her roommate! I just finished weaving the 2nd one this afternoon, so I'm ready to cut these off the loom and knot the fringe, wash and finish them.
"and knot the fringe,"
If I understand what you wrote correctly if you don't twist the fringe (or hem) but leave the chenille ends hanging, over a shortish period of time only the core thread will be left - the soft, small bits will fall out. I couldn't tell from your other photo for certain if the ends were twisted, but I didn't think so. Just didn't want you or the girls to be disappointed.
Hi Liese, Thanks so much for your suggestions. I am a relatively new weaver, and appreciate any advice.
I learned to do rayon chenille scarves from a pattern kit from Jane Stafford Textiles. I didn't mention it, but yes, they are hem stitched while still on the loom. Following along with the given JST instructions, she points out that at her studio, they do a knotted fringe on their scarves, they don't twist them because they always worm out and look terrible. I've done several of her patterns or kits and have never been disappointed as long as I follow the directions. Thanks again!!
That's interesting, what are you doing to prevent the chenille from shedding?
It doesn't seem to be an issue - perhaps it's the quality of the materials?
How are you "washing" these scarves woolgirl?? 10 epi is really far to open a sett to use with rayon chenille, unless that chenille has some synthetic content. Any typically chenille fringes that are knotted and not twisted or braided will very rapidly shed their pile, leaving a rather ugly fringe of dangling strings. If you are not experinecing any of these issues, I am wondering if you are wet finishing your pieces. The only chenille I know of that can stand that kind of treatment is chenille made partially or fully of synthetic yarns. Do you know the fiber content of the yarns you are using??
I am not telling you all of this to criticize, only to warn you to the things that can happen if chenille is not handled properly. 1450 ypp, 100% viscose (rayon) chenille cannot be woven at 10 epi and stay together. The warp and weft threads will worm out of the body of the cloth, and the fringes will disintigrate. That makes me believe your threads have some synthetic content......just wondering and hoping you do not suddenly find yourself having all kinds of issues.
Su Butler
One other thing I just thought of.....what size is the rayon chenille?? I am thinking it must be heavier than 1450 ypp.
Hi Su,
I always appreciate input, and I'm the type that would rather get it right, than be right, so thank you for taking the time to write me about this. The materials for the pink rayon chenille scarves comes from Jane Stafford's studio and can be viewed on her website - 100% rayon, 1300 yd/lb, and following her pattern, it was sett at 10 epi/10ppi. After hem stitching, the bundles of fringe were knotted at the ends - I didn't get them exactly even on the last scarves, but will try to do better this time. They were hand washed in warm water w/ mild soap for 3 minutes. I rinsed until the water was clear, then layed them across patio chairs to dry in the sun. They were then placed in the dryer for 1 min. on reg. heat. This is all as per the JST instructions. The rayon for the blue scarves is also 100% rayon. Same yds per lb.
It might be worth mentioning that after they came out of the dryer, the fringe becomes a bit distorted and the knots need to be pulled, and the instructions warn of this possibility. When the knots are pulled again, the fringe seems to do it's own twist within the bundles, and perhaps that helps stablize it??
I'm fortunate that I live just one island over from Jane, and she has been extremely generous in helping me. I have gotten several of her patterns and kits and couldn't be happier with the quality, attention to detail and of course the end product.
Thanks again for writing, I really appreciate it!

Bargaining with Imperfect Enforcement
The game-theoretic bargaining literature insists on non-cooperative bargaining procedure but allows 'cooperative' implementation of agreements. The effect of this is to allow free-reign of bargaining power with no check upon it. In reality, courts cannot implement agreements costlessly, and parties often prefer to use 'non-cooperative' implementation. We present a bargaining model which incorporates the idea that agreements may be enforced non-cooperatively. We show that this has a substantial impact in limiting the inequality of agreements, and results in a non-montonicity of the discount rate. The general need to maintain incentives for co-operation means it may appear that 'other-regarding' elements enter agents' utility functions. This helps us to understand why experimental subjects might begin negotiations anticipating 'fair' bargains. The model also explains why some parties may have incentives to deliberately write incomplete contracts which cannot be enforced in a court of law.

Brought this player in Dec 07 on the basis of a positive review by Which and am still using as my primary means of DVD playback.
The player is sliver grey in colour with a plastic fascia and metal body. Its quite slim and overall build quality is fine. It comes with an easy to use remote and a comprehensive owners manual. It has both component (which will give best picture quality) and scart outputs for connection to your TV.
Audio wise if you wish to connect to an external amplifier you have a choice of digital coaxial output (for Dolby 5.1 audio) or analogue (stereo, Dolby Digital down mix).
Other than DVD it will also play back other video sources, they been Video CD, SVCD and DivX. Audio wise it will play both music and MP3 CD's. Its will also allow you to view Picture CD's (JPEG)
DVD playback is good, disks are loaded and play quickly and image quality (using a standard definition TV) is more than acceptable. Sound is obviously dependent on what you are playing it through (i.e the TV or external amp) but is nevertheless pleasing enough.
I have also tried other video sources (SVCD and Video CD) and these played back fine.
As for music playback for occasional use the player is OK but its unlikely to be usurping your dedicated CD player anytime soon (and this is true of most DVD players even the more higher end). Its also very slow to respond to track changes such that if your listening to track 1 and press for track 7 there will be a noticeable delay before the new track starts playing.
Finally a word about energy use this player has no off switch so its always using a trickle of electricity when plugged in. I measured this using an energy monitor and it works out at 0.0033 KwH or put another way costing about 8p (based on 14p/kwH) if left in standby for a week! Even in use 10hrs of DVD viewing would cost approx 1p (at 0.005 KwH) so nothing to worry about.
In summary then this player does its job more than well enough, is reliable, cheap to buy and use.

Derry aim to grab chance
If Derry's championship campaign last year proved a particularly galling experience, then the hurt was felt more than most by Kevin McCloy.
The affable full-back did not have one of his best seasons in the Oak Leaf jersey when his team fell to Fermanagh in the Ulster championship semi-final and then surrendered to Monaghan in the All Ireland qualifiers.
But the Lavey clubman has already shown this term that he is back to his best and now he's hoping that Derry can repeat their Ulster Championship win of last season over Donegal when the sides renew their rivalry at Ballybofey tomorrow night (7.00pm) in the All Ireland qualifiers.
McCloy in fact skippered Derry to their 1-14 to 1-12 victory last summer in which Paddy Bradley, man of the match in last Saturday's win over Monaghan, helped himself to 10 points.
"Donegal are always very hard to beat up there in Ballybofey.
"I know people are saying that they did not look that great in overcoming Carlow and Clare so far in the qualifiers but we know that they will raise their game for us.
"They have turned the corner and won't want to go backwards," warns McCloy, a civil engineer.
He imposed himself to such an extent against the Farney county last weekend that he was able to compensate for minor deficiencies in the Derry defence but insists that as a unit they are fired up for tomorrow's challenge.
"To get into the fourth round of the qualifiers means that any side is then involved in the real business end of the championship.
"You would only be one step away from the quarter-finals.
"Maybe people don't see us getting that far after the way we played against Tyrone in the Ulster semi-final but we showed against Monaghan that we can still play a bit.
"It will take an even better performance, though, to beat Donegal, we know that," admits McCloy.

Q: How exactly is my credit score calculated?
A: Credit scoring models are numerous and also fairly nuanced so how a score is determined will vary, depending on whose doing the calculations. However, most models look at the same major categories:
Payment history. This involves whether or not you've paid your bills on time and how long any existing delinquencies have been left to linger.
Existing debt. Since a lender is generally pulling credit to see if you're going to pay back a prospective loan, scoring models look at how much debt you already have on the books. Lenders also factor in how much credit you are using versus how much credit you have available to you, which is something we frequently refer to as the credit utilization ratio.
Age of credit report. Commonly referred to as "time in file," this category is determined by both the age of your oldest credit line and the average age of all the accounts appearing on your credit report.
[Also see: Small money missteps that can cost you big]
Types of credit on the books. Credit is typically divvyed into two categories. Revolving accounts (i.e. credit cards) limit the line of credit, but have balances that fluctuate. Installment accounts, like car loans or mortgages, require consumers to pay a fixed amount each month until the entire balance has been depleted. Top credit scorers have a careful balance of both accounts on record.
New credit activity. This involves credit card inquiries generated whenever a consumer applies for a new line of credit and whether or not a new account was actually opened.
The weight assigned to each of these categories will vary from system to system as will the terminology used to tag each component. FICO, for instance, refers to existing debt, which accounts for 30% of its score, as "amounts owed."
VantageScore, on the other hand, refers to this category as "total of balances," which only accounts for 9% of the score, largely due to the fact that credit utilization has its own separate category.
You can find more complete breakdowns of the FICO scoring model and the Vantage Score model on their respective websites if you want to get a better idea of what categories tend to hold the most weight. (Generally speaking, however, this involves your payment history and your credit-to-debt ratio.)

PESHAWAR, Pakistan, Nov. 16 (UPI Next) --
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party has promised to end unrest in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in the six months since it won elections there in May, but critics say it is clear the party is not up to the challenge of governing the province.
The PTI had strong support before the elections, especially among younger voters, who believed in the party's promise to create "Naya Pakistan," a new Pakistan. Young people now seem to have lost hope, however.
Ahsan Hamid Durrani, who represents the province in the National Youth Assembly, a model legislative body for the nation's young people, told UPI Next he is "unsatisfied" with the PTI in overcoming unrest.
"PTI needs a mature and relevant approach toward the war against terror," he told UPI Next.
Despite such PTI government actions as creation of an online tool to report crimes and passing legislation to make government more accountable, critics say the basic security situation has gotten much worse, with more bombings and civilian deaths.
Aqeel Yousafzai, an analyst in Peshawar with the Center for Research and Security Studies, a Pakistani think tank, told UPI Next, "There is no road map with the PTI-led coalition government for governing the province."
Yousafzai said PTI's elected provincial assembly members do not get along with other parties' elected members. They also get into disagreements with senior bureaucrats, he said.
Yousafzai said the government is having trouble keeping the post of Peshawar's chief of police filled. The last chief took a long leave in September after only 18 days on the job. He had filled the position after his predecessor also took a leave.
"There is no cooperation between the executive and legislature in the provincial assembly," Yousafzai said. Ministers from parties in the coalition government do not have good relationships with each other, he said. These ministers have also created their own alliances within the provincial assembly.
Yousafzai said that while he endorsed the government's stance on U.S. drone strikes -- that the United States must immediately cease drone strikes in Pakistan's tribal areas -- the PTI must address security in the province.
"Most of the provincial territories are also under attack. There needs to be a clear policy to overcome the unrest," Yousafzai told UPI Next.
According to the South Asia Terrorism Portal in New Delhi, 459 civilians and security forces members were killed in terrorist violence between May and October in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, almost the same level as the 461 killed during all of last year under the Awami National Party government.
ANP Central Vice President Bushra Gohar told UPI Next, "There is no direction with PTI to fulfill the promises made by them to the public."
She said PTI has no policy for overcoming the unrest in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
"They have a soft spot for militants and that has cemented the way for militants to carry on with their activities in Peshawar's outskirts Gohar said.
Gohar said that while the government accountability legislation and online crime reporting were improvements, there should have been more open debate in the assembly.
She criticized the provincial government for taking its direction from party members outside the province.
"PTI is dictating from Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad in the form of different committees by neglecting the experts in our province," Gohar said.
Fakhr-ul-Zaman, PTI president for the district of Lower Dir and in charge of all party activities there, told UPI Next PTI has not had enough time to make the needed changes. He said Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has many problems and addressing them will require more time. He said the PTI government will formulate its "own policy for dialogue with militants if the federal government fails."
He said dialogue with militants is the only option for controlling the unrest in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Zaman rejected Gohar's allegations that PTI was taking outside advice.
He said PTI is not dictating from other cities and that the role of PTI committees in other cities is "just for monitoring, checks and balances, and working as an advisory board."
As to Yousafzai's claim that the provincial government is struggling with the bureaucracy, Zaman told UPI Next, "the bureaucracy is not cooperating with the KP government."

I have tried all suggestions including the extra lubricant
April 16 2012 at 11:16 AM
Response to
Please allow me to make my point clearer, Paul. It's simply this.
and as I look back at my last post "Nuff said from the designer..."; I can see my irony was not so clear to my own fault. When I made the suggestion of you creating a disclosure for your products, my list was actually all the things I have gone through and the feedback I have received from the designer [you] regarding backing up a product that does not work on my rifle and on the rifles of some other customers.
I should have been clear letting you know that before that post I did try 3 in 1 oil in the rear of the pressure tube around the trigger and testing the cocking of the gun [set @.432" otherwise I cannot load the pellet click because of the blocking from the bolt push forward from the HDD]. Perhaps it was slightly less friction along the stroke of the bolt but nonetheless the cocking result was still the same; extremely difficult.
Next I proceeded to disassemble the rifle for like the 12th time [might I reference back to "drop in, no modifications" comment in the HDD product description], cleaned the light oil as well as possible and used Moly D around the trigger, lightly in the tube, and re-coated the sides and top of HDD. I then put the rifle back together and did notice less friction drag in the bolt but still the same high force build up and lack of cocking in the last ~3/8" of travel of the bolt. Also, I would wish to add that though light oil has been mentioned as the best option I think the Moly D is better because of its nature for anti seize/gall reduction and low coefficient of friction qualities which light oil can just not match in metal to metal applications. The added off axis loading on the trigger from the HDD was better normalized with the Moly D. Consider this to be included in your installations instructions...at the least.
Steve, to be as clear as possible I can say that you are so lucky that the members on this forum have so readily spent so many hours getting a "Drop In" device to work; it is really a tribute to their love for the sport and their perseverance...I wish my customers were so amenable. Furthermore, what concerns me most is your customary inference in your responses regarding customer issues that the problems experienced getting the HDD to work has more to do with shortcomings of the Marauder design or manufacturing than the mismatch of the HDD geometry and the new off axis loads it induces on the bolt and trigger. For example, 1) the issue with the trigger assembly that works great up and until the HDD is installed then somehow has slid forward, 2) the pellet clip that no longer loads from being blocked by the bolt in the breech opening, 3)the lubrication in a gun that cocks extremely smooth and repeatable stock, but has inadequate lubricant after the installation of the HDD, 4) the travel of the bolt that cocks and loads a pellet rapidly as stock, now becomes stiff and extremely hard to draw back and latch just after the HDD is installed.
My point is perhaps a change of tone may improve customer issue resolution, which might make the customers feel less like they have a bum Marauder and more like, "There are changes and modifications that may need to be implemented to make the HDD perform as it was intended." In the mechanical design engineering field of which I am involved, the best designers acknowledge and address the shortcomings, discuss resolution ['to er is human'], and fix the issue without regrets, embarrassment, or loss of pride...simply because creating is difficult and accepting the need for revisions makes addressing the issue easier. Without any reservations whatsoever, I will say that there is an issue with the geometry of the HDD and it can be improved so the cocking issue will be less common. "Drop In" means just that; no changes required, no additional obstructions created, and functions close to "like stock" and performance will be improved.
I almost feel as though all these "real" issues are being looked over or somehow hidden and not disclosed instead of just addressing the customer with the facts up front. All you need is a couple extra lines in the product description and then the buyer will be better informed. Yes it is a tweak but the industry has many tweaks that are truly drop in and do not require such substantial time, effort, and uncertainty. Imagine if I purchased this device and did not have internet access...hard to imagine but possible.
It is so unfortunate my support issues had to go this route; but if you would have just started out the discussion addressing the possibility that the HDD requires much more tweaking than drop in and there are possible mechanical obstructions that may not be fixed without physical modification; I would have better understood what I was getting into installing this device and better respected your support approach.
Perhaps, if anything this forum discussion will address your sole sentence in my original lengthy email [dialog might I add] regarding my issues when you said and I quote you. "Please post your question on the Yellow forum, so you can get the benefit of many minds and points of view." Many hours later I am more informed but nonetheless here with an HDD that does not work as if was claimed. I feel that if what I learned was disclosed up front I would not be here with this device not working and with the uneasy feeling of having to go this route to address my issue; truly an unsatisfactory customer experience.

LOS ANGELES, May 29 (UPI) -- Within less-than-a day of launching, LeVar Burton's campaign to revive the children's show Reading Rainbow reached its million dollar goal.
Funded via Kickstarter, Burton will now revive the PBS program as a web series.
After being cancelled in 2006, Reading Rainbow had a second life as a tablet app, but that still left it inaccessible to many children and families. With the success of his Kickstarter campaign, Burton will be able to distribute the series on the Internet for free and create a special version for teachers to use in classrooms.
Thus far, Burton has raised nearly $2 million dollars. The campaign will continue until July 2.
"I don't know what to say we just crossed the million dollar threshold, it is our first day. I am overwhelmed, thank you so much. This is going to enable us to really really really do a lot of good. I am so proud that this community has come together to support this effort -- and it's a people's thing -- it's the five, it's the ten, it's the twenty-five, it's the one dollar pledges, it's unbelievable. Or, actually, it's actually very believeable. Thank you so much, we are literally changing the world one's children's book at a time."

HOUSTON, Aug. 16 (UPI) -- Selling off more than 600,000 acres of land in Canada bearing natural resources makes sense given Apache's growth objectives, the company said.
Apache Corp. said it sold 621,000 gross acres in the Nevis, North Grant Lands and South Grant Lands areas of western Alberta to Canadian energy company Ember Resources Inc. for $214 million.
Apache Chief Operating Officer Rodney Eichler said his company was keen on focusing on assets in western Canada that generate attractive rates of return.
"This transaction is one element of a comprehensive review of Apache's portfolio to determine which assets make the most sense for Apache to own given our growth and return objectives and which assets are better owned by others," he said in a statement Thursday. "The Nevis, North Grant Lands and South Grant Lands assets fit in the latter category."
Apache said the assets sold produced 67 million cubic feet of natural gas per day in the second quarter.
Ember Resources did not provide public comment regarding the transaction.
Apache also said it was focused on putting its momentum behind a liquefied natural gas export terminal for Kitimat, British Columbia.

White Sox come away with milestones but no win
White Sox come away with milestones but no win
When Dunn launched his two-run milestone blast to left-center in the eighth inning on Saturday night, off hard-throwing lefty Tim Collins no less, the White Sox closed within a run of the Royals. The homer came just after Kevin Youkilis had reached his own milestone with a sharp single for his 1,000th career hit.
But the Royals simply wouldn't let the personal accomplishments of Dunn and Youkilis translate into a team accomplishment. Kansas City threw a wet blanket over Chicago with a four-run rally in their half of the eighth and went on to a 9-4 victory at Kauffman Stadium.
Dunn will remember the night of his 400th as a bittersweet occasion. He wanted the homer to come in conjunction with a White Sox win, but it wasn't to be.
The White Sox committed a season-high four errors, didn't do much against Kansas City starter Bruce Chen and couldn't prevent late tack-on runs after drawing close.
"This game was kind of a disaster from the get-go," Dunn said.
The Royals are now 7-4 against the White Sox and continue to do the Tigers some favors.
"To me, their record [53-66] doesn't indicate how good [the Royals] are," Dunn said. "They put the ball in play and put a lot of pressure on your defense. If you aren't making the plays in the field or making pitches, they are going to make you pay."
The tone was set in the third inning, when the White Sox committed three errors with a light rain falling. Second baseman Gordon Beckham was charged with an error when he couldn't handle a throw from left field as Alex Gordon tried to stretch a bloop hit into a double. Gordon was called out, then safe when umpire Bill Miller noticed that Beckham didn't hold the ball.
That play loomed large moments later, as Billy Butler singled home a run to make it 2-0. Then Alex Rios had a chance to cut down the slow-moving Butler at the plate on Mike Moustakas' single, but the ball rolled past the right fielder.
It was that kind of slip-and-slide night for the White Sox.
"Tough night," said starter Jake Peavy, who allowed five runs (three earned) over 5 1/3 innings. "The Royals are a scrappy bunch, and the ball just bounced their way tonight."
The White Sox trailed, 4-0, when Paul Konerko hit a two-run homer in the sixth. It was the second homer in two nights for Konerko since he'd missed 10 days because of a concussion. After Eric Hosmer homered off Peavy in the sixth to make it a three-run game, the White Sox appeared to be going quietly.
But then Youkilis and Dunn provided some milestone madness before the Royals put it in second and roared away.
Dunn and Konerko are now the only teammates in Major League history to hit a 400th career homer in the same season. Konerko accomplished the feat on April 25.
"It's hard to enjoy," said Dunn, who now has 35 homers on the season. "Obviously, I wish it had come in a win."
Thanks to Baltimore's win over Detroit, the White Sox (65-54) maintained their 1 1/2-game lead in the American League Central.
"We just gave them way too many chances," manager Robin Ventura said.
The White Sox will try to salvage one game in the series on Sunday, and a priority will be containing Butler, who is 4-for-7 with four RBIs through the first two games of the weekend set.
Peavy is now 0-6 with a 5.53 ERA in his last seven starts against the Royals.
"I don't know what it is, because he has great stuff," Kansas City's Gordon said. "Sometimes some teams just have your number, and it works both ways."

Rules like this, developed for the airline industry, that lack an appropriate degree of business insight and day-to-day operational expertise from those responsible for rule implementation can cause a huge disconnect.
This proposed rule will impact thousands of jobs and service to small communities.
According to industry estimates and an Oliver Wyman analysis submitted to the White House, the rule could eliminate between 12,000 and 27,000 direct U.S. airline jobs, and has the potential of eliminating up to 400,000 related industry jobs. This potential loss of jobs is staggering and particularly troublesome at a time when unemployment persists above 9 percent and job creation is at the top of the agenda for the President and Congress.
Airlines will not be able to pass along the estimated $2 billion in annual costs that the revised rule would impose. As related costs soar, airlines will be forced to cut capacity in the hopes of maintaining profitability. In particular, service to less profitable small and rural communities that depend on air transportation to connect to the rest of the country and world would be impacted.
Reduced capacity and service means fewer employees and fewer choices for consumers.
ATA and its members are eager to work with the U.S. government to update any rule to make U.S. air transportation safer, based on science, research and operational data. The FAA proposal, as it stands, does not meet its safety objective.
Nicholas E. Calio is president and chief executive officer of the Air Transport Association of America.

Thoughts are with everyone affected
Thoughts are with everyone affected
How awful.... How sad....
Very sad news for all concerned my thoughts are with the family/friends who have to come to terms with the tragic loss of a loved one
So very sad, yet again a cyclist is killed by a cement lgv,Condolances to the families and freinds.
I used to live round there and there are cycle lanes all along Wilbraham and Wilmslow Roads... not your typical city centre road really.
My thoughts are with their family.
Very sad news, and very close to home. I commute up that road every day.
I cycled past at about 17:30, but didn't know what had happened - I presumed drugs related given the amount of police at the scene.
No doubt a ghost bike will pop up soon which will be a reminder every morning
Thoughts are with his family.
FFS the number of incidents involving this kind of vehicle really is becoming ridiculous.
Thoughts and condolences to family and friends.
rip unknown rider.
Sadly I know the poor guys mother.
RIP Joshua.
RIP Joshua.

Stop Ignoring My Calls Or I'll Lock Your Phone! Love, Mom.
It sounds like a spoof on Saturday Night Live but it's real. A mom was sick of being ignored by her son when she called or texted. The app: Ignore No More. Yep, it's real and it's awesome!
While it's not awesome for teens who rely on the ignore option when mom is trying to get a hold of them at a time when they'd rather not talk, it's great for parents who want to connect with their kids.
A simple text or phone call is now a way of saying "dinner's ready" or "did you switch the laundry?" or even, "I'm waiting outside ready to pick you up."
But what if there's no answer? Mom starts looking like a nagging girlfriend who has to know the status of your whereabouts at every moment.
Now mom is in control.
The "Ignore No More" app (for Android phones and Google Play – for now) will lock the screen and stop all interaction until the phone user (aka: child) calls his/her parent and that parent enters an unlock code.
Boom! The power has shifted back in the right direction.
Read the details of the app HERE.
Watch out, kids, your worlds have been changed.

ie6 css fixer v0.8
It's been a while since we released version 0.7 of the IE6 CSS Fixer, just know that we haven't abandoned further development of our tool. To prove our dedication to the mental health of all front-enders out there, we even updated the tool with a nifty new feature and some general improvements. Brace yourself for inline-block support!
The following fix has been suggested by a couple of people before (thank you!), but somehow we always seemed to lack the time to really dig into it. It seems that for a while now there has been a pretty valid workaround for ie6 and ie7, enabling the inline-block behavior on elements. Some testing revealed that the fix isn't perfect (still some issues left with vertical alignment it seems), but in most cases it works just fine.
I won't be going into full detail about the specifics of the inline-block display value, you can read up on that in yesterday's article on floats vs inline-block, but it's an invaluable asset to solve certain longstanding design/css issues. The problem with inline-block is that is had poor support in older browser versions. Both ie6 and ie7 have partial support (it works on native inline element - meaning you can't use it on divs or lis, rendering it somewhat useless), FF2 had -moz specific support.
ul li {display:inline; zoom:1;}
That's all there is to it really. Use display:inline and add a zoom:1 for block properties support. A pretty logical fix if you think about it, but this gives us basic inline-block support in ie6 and ie7. An additional advantage is that you can now decrease the use of unnecessary floats, eliminating the need for fixing certain overflow:hidden declarations and floats in general. On top of that, the "add zoom to backgrounds" option becomes less harmful as it behaves flawlessly inside inline-block elements (while in floats it pushes the element to 100% width).
On top of that, version 0.8 has some additional performance fixes and better png detection. The 0.7 version was a little flawed when using different syntaxes for background image declarations. So that should make it easier to get all pngs fixed.
test it yourself
So that's all for the 0.8 release of the IE6 CSS Fixer. For thoughts, comments or suggestions you can always contact us. Let us know what you are still missing!
Check out v0.8 of the IE6 CSS Fixer.

Former A's left-hander Gio Gonzalez arrived at spring training with the Washington Nationals on Tuesday in Viera, Fla., and maintained he has not used performance-enhancing drugs.
The Miami New Times reported last month that Gonzalez was among a half-dozen major league players listed as receiving PEDs in purported records of Biogenesis of America LLC, a now-closed anti-aging clinic in Coral Gables, Fla. Gonzalez hopes to be exonerated.
"I feel very confident," Gonzalez said. "I think that at the end of the day I've never taken performance-enhancing drugs, and I never will."
Gonzalez, a 21-game winner last year, denied the allegations on Twitter on the day they were reported.
He said he had been contacted by Major League Baseball officials and has cooperated with their investigation.
Three University of Alabama players have been charged with knocking students unconscious and stealing their wallets, while a fourth player has been charged with using a stolen debit card, officials said.
Linebacker Tyler Hayes, safety Eddie Williams, defensive lineman D.J. Pettway and running back Brent Calloway were indefinitely suspended by coach Nick Saban.
Paris, a 52-year-old Discovery Bay resident, didn't return a phone call and an email message sent to his motivational speaking company.
Tiger Woods says on his website he'll play next week in the Match Play Championship in Arizona and the following two weeks at the Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., and the Cadillac Championship at Doral.

Although I arrived under a heavy rain, completely soaked through, I was surprised to see a handful of other intrepid art-goers already there at opening time. Fountain (the name is an homage to Marcel Duchamp's ground-breaking entry in the 1917 Armory Show, a porcelain urinal entitled "fountain" turned on its side and signed "R. Mutt", now housed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art) is at the opposite end of the spectrum from the ultra-glam and glitzy "official" Armory Show, full of blue-chip galleries, avant-garde hair, and bizarre fashions. Fountain has a DIY aesthetic (which is not to say unprofessional), with some of the artwork being finished at the show. Around 20 artists and galleries participated. In addition, there were daily live performances. Like Duchamp's "fountain", the show gave a middle-finger salute to the art establishment, while at the same time engaging in serious art-making and art-dealing.
The venue for the exhibits was on The Frying Pan, a rusty old barge (pier 66, at 26th street and 12th avenue) that groaned and swayed gently under your feet. At times I wasn't sure if it was the artwork or the barge making me queasy. The normally open-air top deck had been set up with walls and tented with plastic tarpaulins to keep most of the rain out, although viewers had to side-step buckets and drips everywhere, and several of the more fragile paintings and sculptures were damaged by the deluge.
Most of the exhibitors were from New York, but What It Is is a gallery based in the suburban-Chicago home of its proprietors, Tom Burtonwood and Holly Holmes. Their booth got more of the water damage than anyone else, but I spoke to Mr. Burtonwood while his assistants performed the Sisyphean task of dumping water collecting in the tarps overhead.
Just because the gallery is located in part of their home, don't think that Burtonwood + Holmes aren't serious about it. For the past two years, they've had cutting-edge installations (open to the public at opening receptions, by appointment only thereafter) and regularly issue catalogs and other publications documenting the exhibits. Their booth at Fountain showed works by Sabina Ott, Andrew Rigsby, Lise Haller Baggesen, Stoic Swine, and Tom Burtonwood. (Much better images of the artwork can be found here.)
Burtonwood's gouache paintings of polychrome geometric (and isometric) shapes are reminiscent of video games (Tetris, The Sims) and architectural renderings, but the angles are off by just a few degrees which eliminates any real sense of perspective and 3-dimensionality; the effect when seen in person is slightly unsettling, yet so subtle that many viewers may not notice.
His series of color studies all use the same arrangement of geometric figures (silkscreened onto the paper in different line colors) yet by changing the colors on the face of each cube-like piece yields completely different effects, with some pieces seeming to recede in certain compositions, and protruding in others. Also, I've seen many digital images of these paintings before which I now know don't do them justice. Seeing them in person for the first time at Fountain, I was immediately taken in by the velvety surface quality of the gouache, and the visible brushstrokes and undertones in each of the shapes. There is something completely charming about the "mistakes" introduced through human error (like the missing piece on the right side of each of the composition color studies) in Burtonwood's work. Work like this could easily be created on a computer using common drawing and painting programs like Photoshop™, but it would have none of the vitality that this artist has given it.
Fountain Art Fair ran at Pier 66 on The Frying Pan, at 26th Street and 12th Avenue in the Hudson River Park from March 4 – 6, 2011. What It Is is located in Oak Park, Illinois.

New Mineral, Krotite, Named After Mānoa Researcher
Posted on | May 6, 2011 | Comments Off on New Mineral, Krotite, Named After Mānoa Researcher
The first natural occurrence of a low-pressure CaAl2O4 mineral has been found in a refractory inclusion in a carbonaceous chondrite meteorite. The new mineral Ca1.02Al1.99O4 is now officially approved by the Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification of the International Mineralogical Association as krotite. The mineral's name honors Alexander N. Krot, a Mānoa researcher known for his achievements in meteoritics, especially for studies of the formation of calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) and chondrules, and his significant contributions to the understanding of early solar system processes.
Krotite is the dominant mineral in the central and mantle areas of an unusual CAI in the NWA 1934 carbonaceous chondrite. The 2.75 mm x 4.5 mm inclusion is composed mainly of aggregates of krotite crystals, with a few other calcium-aluminum or magnesium-aluminum oxides and a few silicates in a thin rim of concentric layers. Cracks, mainly filled with iron and aluminum hydroxides, crosscut the CAI's rim and parts of its interior giving it a cracked egg appearance. The CAI itself is surrounded by a matrix of mostly fine-grained olivine.
This CAI, along with its new mineral, krotite, will be the subject of additional research to determine formation and cosmochemical details. Because CAIs were the first solids formed in the solar nebula about 4.6 billion years ago, they help cosmochemists piece together records of nebular and early solar system processes and how the first solid building blocks eventually turned into asteroids and planets.

I'm moving from OR to GA soon to begin my military career. While I won't have much time to ride initially, as I progress in my education, I will have more and more free time to allocate to riding.
Currently, I live in an area that features climbs and descents that are pretty darn steep; I can hit 40mph on a singletrack descent if I really let it loose and lay off the brakes. And, these descents have their fair share of brake bumps and the occasional root balls, "staircase", and drops. As such, most people ride 5" or 6" FS bikes. Being a "pro" XC racer, though, I'm willing to sacrifice a wee bit of downhill speed and comfort for uphill efficiency. As such, I ride a ~22lb Giant Anthem X.
I think I'm of average technical ability; on anything rocky, rooty, tight and twisty I can hang with anyone in town. When it gets crazy fast, I lose my nerve a bit and get on the brakes more than others.
So, in essence, I'm asking this:
What do you guys suggest for an XC race bike in the Southeast? I'm really interested in trying out a Cannondale Flash 26er, but I have no clue if that bike will be appropriate for the terrain in GA.
Results 1 to 4 of 4
Thread: GA race bike suggestions???

DENVER, Dec. 9 (UPI) -- Colorado Gov. Bill Owens Thursday nominated U.S. Attorney John Suthers to succeed Ken Salazar as the state's attorney general.
Suthers, a former Owens cabinet member, will be sworn into office Jan. 4, the Rocky Mountain News reported. He will serve the final two years of Salazar's term.
Salazar was elected to the U.S. Senate and he will resign on that date to take his post in Washington. Suthers ran for attorney general in 1998, but was defeated by Salazar.
Suthers was executive director of the Department of Corrections in the Owens administration until President Bush appointed him as U.S. attorney for Colorado.
Suthers' nomination must be approved by the Democrat-controlled Colorado Senate, but he is expected to win approval, the News said.
Republicans will hold every top elected seat in Colorado state government when Suthers takes office.

If you've played Fallout 3, you won't miss a step when transitioning over to New Vegas since it's largely the same in terms of gameplay. Wandering the desert, you'll meet friendly people and kill aggressive monsters and thugs. Or maybe you'll kill friendly people and become friends with the thugs, though you should still kill the monsters. New animal foes are present in the West, including but not limited to pesky Cazadores (giant flying insects that will poison you), Giant Praying Mantises (er, they are what they sound like) and Nightstalkers (a scary crossbreed of rattlesnake and coyote). All these creatures sport colorful designs, making them pretty to look at while you shoot them. There's something intensely satisfying about lighting an enemy on fire with a flamethrower, then capping them in the head with a .357 Magnum and finishing them off with a Plasma Rifle. Killing is never a chore, and always an adventure.
Speaking of shooting (Pew! Pew!), you can play the game from either a first-person or third-person perspective. Third-person allows for a useful vantage point (you won't find yourself randomly attacked from behind), but the animations are goofy and it's impractical for shooting on the fly. First-person mode is more useable and though you lack a full 360 degree view you can finally aim down the sights with your gun, making it easier to play like a first-person shooter while your V.A.T.S. is recharging. Designed to make the game less of a shooter, V.A.T.S. (stands for Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System) allows you to pause the action and select specific body parts of your target. Want to decapitate a coyote or shoot off the arm of an aggressive gang member? Go right ahead. To keep the system from being abused and completely unbalancing the gameplay, every shot you fire takes up a certain amount of action points. The more powerful the weapon, the more action points it will use.
After you complete enough quests or bring death upon a whole town you might notice that you've leveled up. Fallout: New Vegas uses the same character building system as Fallout 3, so S.P.E.C.I.A.L. determines your basic character stats and skill sets and perks are back. The S.P.E.C.I.A.L. acronym stands for Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck. At the beginning of the game you'll be able to allocate points to whichever stat you'd like, then build out your skills and finally choose a perk. Choose wisely, because although a super strong but unintelligent character might be able to carry a bunch of stuff around, he or she won't gain as many skill points to divvy up later. The skills are the same as before, ranging from lock picking to speech to bartering to guns -- you'll have to think carefully about how you want your character to engage with the world. Although it won't happen every time you level up, you will be prompted to pick perks. Perks are fun and can either help build out your character by increasing your V.A.T.S. accuracy, level you up again immediately, enable Easter eggs that are otherwise locked away, or allow you to om nom on human flesh to regain health. It's great that the breadth and depth of the leveling system remained untouched, but I found myself selecting practical perks over and over to increase my S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats and the experience points I'd gain.
Since New Vegas is known for its gambling, there are more ways to earn caps (Fallout's form of currency) than before. On the strip you can try out the slot machines or play blackjack, and while in the wasteland you can play a game of Caravan with drifters. Caravan is a unique card game that slightly resembles blackjack but requires more strategy and allows you to build out your own particular set of cards. I didn't find it necessary to play much of any of these mini-games as I had more than enough cash by looting every abandoned house I found or every dead body I created.
Though now you can aim down the sights in first-person mode and there are new weapon and ammo modifications and gambling mini-games, the biggest addition to the game is Hardcore Mode. This option makes surviving so much more difficult that the game actually recommends against enabling it. Becoming sort of a Sims situation, you'll have to make sure you regularly feed, water, and rest your character. Adding to that inconvenience is that everything – including ammo – counts toward your weight limit. There are also limitations on your ability to fast travel – if your character would dehydrate by the end of the journey, you won't be able to embark until you've had some water. It's more realistic and offers a degree of difficulty that's hard to find later in the game, but it's not for the faint of heart.
Fallout: New Vegas uses the same engine as Fallout 3 and comes with the same technical issues. Animations have no weight to them, lip synching ranges from good to non-existent and the artificial intelligence is dumber than a rock. More often than not you'll run across an enemy or ally who just can't seem to figure out how to get around that corner. These flubs are certainly humorous, but the choppy framerate and terrible load times are no laughing matter. Load times on consoles range from annoying to downright painful, ranging from 30 seconds to two minutes. New Vegas can run smoothly, but also slows down or freezes intermittently, so save often.
In New Vegas, the fun Fallout 3 formula is intact, with more polished combat, high-quality side missions, and the exciting setting of the Vegas strip. Unfortunately, the bugs also tagged along for the ride. If Obsidian and Bethesda had polished up the game by fixing the AI, improving the animations or even gotten it to run smoothly, perhaps it would feel less like a giant expansion of Fallout 3 and more like its own game. Be that as it may, Fallout 3 was a great game, so as similar as it is, Fallout: New Vegas is still a fun ride that offers more for fans of the series to enjoy. If you can look past its shortcomings, this is definitely a wasteland worth exploring.

Islamic architecture, building traditions of Muslim populations of the Middle East and elsewhere from the 7th century on. Islamic architecture finds its highest expression in religious buildings such as the mosque and madrasah. Early Islamic religious architecture, exemplified by Jerusalem's Dome of the Rock (ad 691) and the Great Mosque (705) in Damascus, drew on Christian architectural features such as domes, columnar arches, and mosaics but also included large courts for congregational prayer and a mihrab. From early times, the characteristic semicircular horseshoe arch and rich, nonrepresentational decoration of surfaces were employed. Religious architecture came into its own with the creation of the hypostyle mosque (see hypostyle hall) in Iraq and Egypt. In Iran a mosque plan consisting of four eyvans (vaulted halls) opening onto a central court was used. These brick-built mosques also incorporated domes and decorated squinches (see Byzantine architecture) across the corners of the rooms. Persian architectural features spread to India, where they are found in the Taj Mahal and Mughal palaces. Ottoman architecture, derived from Islamic and Byzantine traditions, is exemplified by the Selimiye Mosque (1575) at Edirne, Tur., with its great central dome and slender minarets. One of the greatest examples of secular Islamic architecture is the Alhambra. For full treatment of the subject, see Islamic arts.
