There's good news and there's bad news.
The good news (for the fellas) is that Scarlett Johansson is back on the market. The bad news (for the romantics) is that it's because she's split from her longtime boyfriend Nate Naylor.
Although there's ScarJo's rep has declined to comment so far, the Avengers actress is indeed a single lady: E! News confirms she and Naylor called it quits five days ago.
U.S. & World
Check out Scarlett getting cozy with her famous ex at the DNC!
No word on what may have led to the split between the couple of roughly a year.
In September, Scarlett seemed to be getting pretty cozy with one of her famous exes, Jared Leto, at the Democratic National Convention, though their hand-holding was dismissed as purely platonic at the time.
Check out Scarlett and Nate on their final holiday as a couple
The 27-year-old actress first went public with her romance with the 38-year-old advertising executive in January, when they were spotted holding hands in New York. While they seem to have been solid since then, the pair has always done their best to remain under the radar.
The same can't be said for Scarlett's most famous ex, as her newly remarried former flame Ryan Reynolds has been anything but camera-shy in making the public rounds with his new wife, Blake Lively.
Ah, well. You win some, you lose some.

In addition to the FAQ below, see also the OCL Developer Guide documentation included in the OCL SDK.
Newbie / General
Questions in this section are directed at those that are new to the MDT OCL component and are interested in finding out how to begin working with it.
What is MDT OCL?
MDT OCL provides a parser and interpreter for OCL constraints and expressions on any EMF-based metamodel. By that is meant any metamodel whose meta-metamodel is Ecore, and which (in being a metamodel) provides an EMF importer to create GenModels that generate a Java implementation.
So far, the Eclipse Modeling Project has two such metamodels: Ecore and UML (Ecore being its own meta-metamodel). Hence, the OCL component provides an OCL binding for each of these metamodels. OCL can parse constraints in either Ecore or UML models, and can evaluate them on the instances of Java classes generated from these models.
In terms of the OMG's modeling "stack", then, we have in the Eclipse Modeling Project
|Modeling Level
|OCL's Role
|This is the metamodel for the OCL Abstract Syntax Model
|Ecore, UML
|OCL's generic AST model binds to these metamodels
|*.ecore and *.uml models
|OCL parses constraints on these models
|generated Java code
|instances of generated Java classes
|OCL evaluates constraints on these objects
|dynamic EMF objects
The OCL Abstract Syntax Model is, itself, actually a metamodel sitting at the M2 level.
Does OCL 1.x work with J2SE 1.4?
Because OCL extends EMF's Ecore, OCL's dependencies are the same as those of EMF.
|Minimim JVM
See also EMF 2.3 JVM Requirements.
OCL Formulation
This section answers common problems in the formulation of OCL expressions that achieve some specific aim. More often than not, these are matters of OCL-the-language, not specific in any way to the MDT implementation.
How do I combine collections of different types?
If you have two or more collections of distinct element types and want to combine them into a single collection, it is not as simple as just unioning them or casting the collections to a common type. In the OCL 2.0 specification, the collection types do not conform to OclAny, so they do not have the oclAsType operation. Also, the semantics of generic type parameters in collections are undefined, so that it is not clear whether, for example, Set(T) has only union(Set(T)) or also union(Set(S)) where S is any supertype of T.
Instead, one must do something like:
-- given types A, B conforming to S but neither of -- A nor B conforming to the other context S def: union(a : Set(A), b : Set(B)) : Set(S) = let s : Set(S) = Set{} in s->union(a)->union(b)
which works because Set(S) has an operation union(Set(S)) that accepts arguments of type Set(A) and Set(B) because of the rules of conformance of collection types.
OCL Code Generation
How do I generate code from OCL constraints in UML?
See http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/uml2/docs/presentations/EclipseCon2008_LongTalk_NewFeaturesOfUML2_files/frame.htm.

What I have here is a crude animation setup using labels and a timer. It is just an oblique collision test, eventually to become something similar to Air Hockey.
Every 1000/FPS miliseconds it updates the positions of the labels according to the velocities as specified by the Puck class. This class contains the data to be later used by the CollisionHandler class such as mass and CoR and also functions to update positions and velocity.
I don't suppose any function leaving 'update' is important:
//The Puck class is associated with a label, velocites in x and y directions are velx, vely public void update() { if (Math.abs(velx) > velrest) //velrest is an arbitrarily decided value to cease updates for low velocities { posx += velx/FPS; if (frictionEnabled) velx -= Math.signum(velx) * mu / FPS; label.setBounds((int)posx, (int)posy, width, height); } if (Math.abs(vely) > velrest) { posy += vely/FPS; if (frictionEnabled) vely -= Math.signum(vely) * mu / FPS; label.setBounds((int)posx, (int)posy, width, height); } }
The CollisionHandler Class runs a continuous loop to check if any puck is in contact with any other puck and if so, makes calculations to redirect each puck's velocity.
The 'update' function of the CollisionHandler:
public void update() { for(int i = 0; i < counter; i++) //Counter = Total number of pucks { Puck t = plist[i]; //Array of pucks added to the Handler /*Boundary checks omitted, inter-puck collisions:*/ for (int j = i + 1; j < counter; j++) //Checks remaining pucks { Puck t2 = plist[j]; int coll = (int)distance(t, t2) - (t.width + t2.width)/ 2; //this is where I talked about messing with distance parameters if (coll == 0) //setting coll = 0, or defining limits like -1 < coll < 1 etc. { /*Calculations snipped, new velocities applied*/ } } } }
The timer event handler just executes the aforementioned update functions for each puck and one common CollisionHandler instance.
Most of it works fine, butI have a few questions. Pardon me if some of them are generic but I'm new to this:
- Right off the bat, my collision detector is screwed up. I've tried several ways; at first I simply checked whether the distance between said pucks was less than zero and updated it as required. That caused the pucks to stick together because often (especially for high velocities) a single collision was read as 40 continuous ones.
Then I tried equating it to zero, but obviously that failed whenever the distance was not exactly that much and caused them to pass through each other most of the time.
I then made a small contact-distance limit, trying various values from 1 pixel difference to 10 but encountered the same problem of passing through half the time, and reacting too soon the other half.
I thought maybe I could set it up so as to ignore any collisions for a small time period after each collision, but that would cause it to also ignore any collisions happening between other pucks at the same time.
How should I go about doing this? I'm completely baffled.
- I'm concerned that it tends to slow down for FPS above 80 -I understand that my methods might be inefficient, but surely most modern games have to do many more complicated calculations and update a lot more in far less time - how do they manage this?
- Regarding the above problem, would it be wise/feasible to work with Event Listeners to notify the appropriate functions for contact between two pucks? I'm not sure if that'd help my case; I'm guessing they run the same way, i.e. a continuous loop to check given condition?
- For when I get around to the coding for the mouse - how do I lock the mouse from exiting the specified area, like in most games? Google led me to the Robot class, but that appears cumbersome. Is there some easier way?
- Lastly, is my particular method of animating the labels also inconvenient/inefficient? Most examples I saw on the internet ran separate threads for animating (as far as I could tell) but I don't have much experience with threads. I need to know whether to invest my time looking it up and implementing it.

(CNN) - Mr. President: Mitch McConnell is ready to have that drink.
The Senate Minority Leader's campaign team posted a photo on Twitter of McConnell sitting at a bar with an empty seat and two drinks.
"Greetings from coal country!" read the tweet, directed at President Obama.
The tweet came in response to one of the president's biggest lines of the night Saturday during his comedic routine at the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner.
Setting up the joke, Obama reminded his audience of his recent congressional outreach, in which he's hosted two dinners with Republican senators.
"Of course, even after I've done all this, some folks still don't think I spend enough time with Congress. 'Why don't you get a drink with Mitch McConnell?" they ask. Really? Why don't you get a drink with Mitch McConnell?"
Amid the applause and laughter, he added: "I'm sorry. I get frustrated sometimes."
In the new photo, McConnell sits smiling in one of two chairs at the corner of a bar, pointing invitingly to the other seat. The Republican senator from Kentucky has a beer, while a glass of red wine sits idly by the empty chair.
Speaking of "empty chair," the tweet was also directed at Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood, who notoriously spoke to an empty chair meant to represent Obama at the Republican National Convention in August.
McConnell faces re-election next year.
- CNN's Paul Steinhauser and Ashley Killough contributed to this report.
So he's just now responding to something President Obama said Saturday night??? Mitch we sent your sorry rear end to the Senate to work, not to attempt to one up the Commander-In-Chief.
Seriously McConnell? A person couldn't have an intelligent conversation with you if you brought along two translators and the box that helps Stephen Hawking talk. Rightwing floater.
The Dirty Old Man from Kentucky " Mitch McConnell ".
Make Obama a one term president , what's Mitch drinking bud light or rebel yell ?
"hat's Mitch drinking bud light or rebel yell ?"
HAHA...I'd like to see Mitchetta handle a 20 oz. glass of Rebel Yell...or try to at least.
Oh wait, that's Thursdays....
ME.....I think you got that all wrong. You should check out all your conservative buddies screaming at the top of their keyboards at the president for attending the dinner over the weekend. It is well known that conservatives are the ones with a stick stuck way up there. However, it has little to do with them being prudes and more to do with them actually liking it.
nobody wants to have a drink with this guy,,,lol
The racist beer drinker is at it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ghostriter....yes we do and you libs act like you have a stick up your butttttt all the time!!! You should try and enjoy life sometime, you might be surprised! All of you libs need to relax and enjoy life sometimes, this was some light hearted fun just like your messiah had on Saturday night! What a miserable life you all must live, so hateful all the time!
We do....its your lot that are hard-wired for hate all the time.
LOL. I laughed at the POTUS' jokes and laughing at this as well. I would rather them take shots of humor at each other everyday than the normal, blah blah blah complain complain complain, we hear from our politicians. It's the lefts fault, no its the rights fault...whah whah whah. Very very few in D.C. even have common sense, rather they have in common dollars and cents. If it don't make them money personally through kickbacks or political gain, they complain, if it does, they go all out in support. The parties have the same goal with a different spin, wake up people, stop blaming a party one way or the other, neither party is the solution to stopping big brother's takeover of our country. It is a joke anymore how people continue to ride party lines like they won something. Really, those who voted for Obama desired to get rid of Bush's policies, yet Obama extended them, how ya like that "change" and "hope" victory? If the conversation was about less government versus more government, we may have a real debate, till then it is the same ol sad song and dance.
Please, not the infamous "empty chair" routine. Yeah, because it went over so well at the convention. What an all time loser! Let's just pray come election day, his chair will be empty.

Whitney Houston remembered on her special day
Whitney Houston's life was heartbreakingly short, but it was filled with achievements. On what would have been her 49th birthday today, we can see how much she accomplished in her lifetime.
The Newark, New Jersey native provided a soundtrack to our lives in the late '80s, racking up seven consecutive No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Those tracks included hits like ...
... 1985's "Saving All My Love For You":
... 1986's "How Will I Know":
... 1987's "I Want to Dance With Somebody":
... and 1988's "So Emotional":
Not to mention, she inspired thousands of singers with her recording of "I Will Always Love You," which spent 14 weeks at No. 1 after its release in 1992. The soundtrack on which the single appeared, "The Bodyguard," was also a smash, spending 20 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
"The Bodyguard" soundtrack also won the Album of the Year Grammy in 1993, one of six that Houston earned throughout her career. ("I Will Always Love You" also picked up a Grammy at the same ceremony for Record of the Year.)
But while her music is a lasting part of our memories, so are her movie roles, particularly her turn in 1992's "The Bodyguard"; 1995's "Waiting to Exhale"; 1996's "The Preacher' s Wife"; and 1997's "Cinderella."
Idolator found Houston's film and TV career to be "surprisingly ... small" for a woman "with such charisma, beauty and confidence on-screen."
Perhaps that would've changed had she lived. When Houston died at 48 in February, her latest film project, "Sparkle," was being produced for an August 17 release. The cast has talked extensively about what a positive presence she was on the set, and how she brought so much to the film, both personally and professionally.
The film's star, Jordin Sparks, recounted on CNN Thursday morning that just as Houston thought she was the perfect fit for the movie, the feeling was mutual:

Open Concept Dining in Modern Penthouse
A modern, glass dining table sits beneath a big, bright chandelier in this spacious, open concept dining room. Upholstered wooden chairs provide a traditional vibe in the otherwise all modern penthouse, with a bonus distressed brick wet bar only steps away from the main dining area.
Wisteria On Pergola
Wisteria has graced the pergola at Biltmore since 1895. This romantic bloomer "takes a good amount of work over the growing season," Andes says. "Our gardeners are in there a couple times each year doing selective pruning, cutting stems back to two to four buds to develop the plant." The pruning pays off with a gorgeous flower show that usually occurs in the third week of April. The benches along the wall beneath the pergola provide a peaceful view of the shrub garden, where spring paints a scene with pastel shades.
The Best 5-in-1 Griddle
Cuisinart's Griddler comes with two reversible cooking plates, with a grill on one side and griddle on the other. While the multifunctional appliance is compact and great for small spaces, the lid folds down to make the cooking surface area 200 square inches.
A Can't-Miss-It Clock
Sorry, smartphones: "Hanging a massive clock with a pretty face infuses a space with sophistication," says designer Kimberley Kay, who spruced up this San Francisco, California home office. The 30-inch-by-30-inch HomeGoods score matches the niche's boxiness, while oak warms the walls and the chrome table legs.
Master Bedroom Remodel

Dining Space
Dining area off the main living space in this remodeled LA condo.
Neutral, Calming Attic Master Suite
Swathed in neutral colors, this master bedroom is serene and tranquil. Beige and white brushed linens are light and airy and give the room a very casual feel.
Canvas Bag Toy Storage in Nursery
A great way to store toys of different sizes and types, this nursery designed by Abaca Interiors features three hanging canvas tote bags – out of the way, on the back of the bedroom door – for stuffed animals, building blocks and Legos. Each bag is labeled, so both kids and parents know where the toys belong when playtime is over.
Easy and Chic
Cane-back stools pop against a deep blue kitchen island (and complement the wooden floors!) in this space designed by Mary Patton of Mary Patton Design. "Rather than doing an upholstered bar stool, these are very easy to clean and comfortable," Mary tells HGTV.com.
Easter Lily Container Planting
'Snow Queen' lily is an Easter lily (Lilium longiflorum) hybrid that grows 24 to 36 inches tall. In the landscape, plant bulbs 18 to 24 inches apart. In a container, you can plant them closer to create a fragrant hedge of snowy blooms. Flowers typically appear in late spring to early summer.
Take It Outside
West Hollywood-based designer Joe Lucas layered a variety of natural textures and materials into his 2020 Palm Beach Kips Bay Showhouse patio. With a stone dining table by Serena and Lily, cane tableware (peep that pitcher!) and green rattan chairs ("I spotted the green chairs from about 100 yards away at a fair in the south of France and made a beeline for them," says Joe), this space total vacation vibes.
Sash Windows Fill Living Room With Natural Light
On the opposite wall, two floor-to-ceiling sash windows fill the living room with natural light. Meanwhile, traditional armchairs and an exquisite sofa ensure that there's plenty of room for friends around the coffee table.
Yes, you can even use cane in the bathroom! The Pure Salt Interiors team did in this Costa Mesa, California project. An oak vanity pops against sparkling white walls, while cane detailing on the cabinet's face gives added flair. "We love getting playful with materials to bring more interest to a room, especially in small spaces like this bathroom," says Aly Morford and Leigh Lincoln, co-founders of Pure Salt.
French Glam In Illinois
Cane back chairs, touches of blush and all that creamy color? This simple, elegant dining room may be the best in the house. Amy added a vintage crystal chandelier from Facebook Marketplace and, most recently, new dining chairs. The best part is she gave her fireplace surround a $10 makeover using chalk paint, and it's so cute.
Neutral Traditional Living Room With Windows
A wall full of windows means tons of sunlight pours into the open and lovely living room. The space connects to the kitchen via a pass-through window, handy when guests come over.
Rustic Bedroom With Purple Sofa
A royal purple velvet sofa gives majesty to this big bedroom that looks out over lawns and mountains.
Kitchen: Timeless Equestrian Estate in Johannesburg, South Africa
Bright and spacious, the modern eat-in kitchen boasts white tile flooring, streamlined cabinets and a waterfall kitchen island. Integrated stainless steel appliances complete the sleek and stylish design.

Busting Four Myths About Tape
Comment (1) Visits (20779)
This week, I am in beautiful Sao Paulo, Brazil, teaching Top Gun class to IBM Business Partners and sales reps. Traditionally, we have "Tape Thursday" where we focus on our tape systems, from tape drives, to physical and virtual tape libraries. IBM is the number #1 tape vendor, and has been for the past eight years.
(The alliteration doesn't translate well here in Brazil. The Portuguese word for tape is "fita", and Thursday here is "quinta-feira", but "fita-quinta-feira" just doesn't have the same ring to it.)
In the class, we discussed how to handle common misperceptions and myths about tape. Here are a few examples:
Next month, IBM celebrates the 60th anniversary for tape. It is good to see that tape continues to be a vibrant part of the IT industry, and to IBM's storage business!

Competitive parity has been the defining characteristic of this Major League Baseball season, so much so that the loosest definitions of the term "contender" (thanks in no small part of the inclusion of the second wild card in the playoff picture) includes more than two-thirds of baseball's 30 teams.
Heck, even the Mets, Padres and Rays entered the week within eight games of a postseason spot -- likely too large a gap to overcome but far enough from mathematical elimination to at least keep some fever dreams alive.
Well, no matter how much parity is in play, if a team entered the last week of August with an all-too-realistic chance of losing 90 games this season, we feel comfortable counting that club among the non-contenders. And this invites a conversation about what 2015 might have in store for such squads.
With that in mind, what follows is a reverse power rankings, of sorts. A look at which current also-ran the best chance to reach October. Next October.
To be eligible, a team had to be on pace for at least 88 losses this season. Sorry, Mets, Padres and Rays (or should we say congrats?). I've listed the teams based on what I believe is the likeliness of them making the postseason in 2015, starting with the most likely, the defending champs.
Red Sox
The classic hangover season is nearly over for the defending champs. And though the proceedings have been painful, Ben Cherington and Co. clearly didn't squander the opportunity it afforded them to fixate on the future. They got Major League talent back for Jon Lester, Jonny Gomes and John Lackey (Yoenis Cespedes, Allen Craig and Joe Kelly) and well-regarded pitching prospects Edwin Escobar and Eduardo Rodriguez back for Jake Peavy and Andrew Miller. They signed Cuban outfielder Rusney Castillo, a worthwhile gamble in light of what we've seen from Cespedes, Jose Abreu and Yasiel Puig.
So much still has to go right for the Red Sox, most notably major developmental strides for Xander Bogaerts, Jackie Bradley Jr., Christian Vazquez and Mookie Betts, all of whom have had either mixed or, in some cases, outright poor results at the plate in their first extended Major League look. And it remains to be seen how the Red Sox address the gaping hole Lester left in their rotation.
But Boston liked going from worst to first so much in 2013 that it will attempt to do so again in '15. And if nothing else, the seeds are here -- in personnel and financial might -- to make it happen.
White Sox
Adam Eaton -- before injuring his oblique -- brought needed tenacity to the leadoff spot, Avisail Garcia made it back quicker than expected from a major shoulder injury in April, Jose Quintana has solidified his status as a legit No. 2 behind arguably the second-best lefty in the game, Chris Sale. And oh yeah, if you don't get a thrill watching Jose Abreu (.308/.366/.598 slash line in his rookie season) at the plate, you don't have a pulse.
The White Sox are a markedly more interesting team than they were a year ago, one that has the opportunity to build its lineup around Abreu, whose quick maturation in the Majors has allowed him to be productive even in those rare stretches when his power wanes. They'll need to rebuild the bullpen. They'll need a nearly seamless transition from 2014 top draft pick Carlos Rodon, who could be in the rotation as early as April (and could be in the big league bullpen as soon as Sept. 1).
They'll need the usual combo of luck and health and undervalued assets bearing fruit. But after a 99-loss season in 2013, the Sox are one of baseball's most improved in '14, and '15 is looking mighty promising.
Sometimes the stuff going on beneath the surface is more interesting than what's taking place in the light of day, and the Cubs' reported waiver claim of Cole Hamels, which obviously didn't result in a trade, definitely qualified as interesting. It could be an indication that the Cubs have the budget to spend on top-flight pitching, and Max Scherzer and Jon Lester are the obvious targets in that department.
The Cubs, under Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer, have also demonstrated a magic touch for finding diamonds in the rough in the pitching market and polishing them up (witness Jason Hammel, Jake Arrieta, Scott Feldman, Paul Maholm and Travis Wood, and keep an eye on Felix Doubront).
All of this bodes well for this club's ability to field a viable staff around what figures to be an above-average offense. Thanks to the fully-developed Anthony Rizzo, the revitalized Starlin Castro, the recently promoted Javier Baez, Arismendy Alcantara and Jorge Soler, and a farm system with more to offer (most notably the power-hitting Kris Bryant, who should arrive in 2015), the Cubs' not-too-distant lineup looks legit. They probably won't end their more-than-a-century-old World Series hunt next year, but they could get frisky this winter and bridge the gap significantly.
A franchise-record payroll netted the D-backs nothing but their worst showing in the standings since 2010. They recovered from that '10 campaign to win the NL West the following season, and it's incumbent upon recently installed "chief baseball officer" Tony La Russa to point them in the direction of a similar turnaround.
It will be surprising if La Russa totally sticks with the leadership status quo -- general manager Kevin Towers and manager Kirk Gibson -- this offseason. Early reports indicated that Gibson will be retained, despite some industry eye-rolls over his team's emphasis on "grit" and some noteworthy incidences of pitchers stumbling once they arrive in Arizona, but La Russa denied that any firm decisions have been made.
The good news? The D-backs went 43-43 between their disastrous 5-18 start and Aug. 1, when they lost MVP candidate Paul Goldschmidt to a broken hand. If Goldschmidt, Mark Trumbo, A.J. Pollock and Miguel Montero (who recovered from 2013's offensive stumbles) are healthy next year, the D-backs will again have the makings of a championship-caliber lineup. They also plan to field another nine-figure payroll, which means they'll be players in the winter free-agent class. What they don't have is a clear idea of what the rotation will look like, which is why a seamless recovery for Patrick Corbin from Tommy John is essential. It will also be interesting to see how top prospect Archie Bradley fares, if he's promoted in September.
A lost season like no other. Shin-Soo Choo and Yu Darvish bpth went on the disabled list in the past week, because, well, why not? Everybody else is doing it in Arlington. The Rangers have used a team-record 57 players, including 36 pitchers and 18 rookies. They've put more than $70 million worth of talent on the DL, using it 25 times. In a related development, they've dropped 20 games in the standings in just a little more than two months, and this will be their worst finish since 2003.
Here's the hard truth about the Rangers' outlook once this ugly 2014 is over: It's not guaranteed to get significantly better in '15. We still have questions about what kind of hitter Prince Fielder will be once he recovers from neck surgery. We have concerns about what the Rangers have received offensively from Elvis Andrus (.662 OPS) and free-agent acquisition Shin-Soo Choo (.714). We can't deny that Adrian Beltre, who will be 36 next April, can't keep this up forever. And though nobody reasonably expected a bunch of kids to come up from the farm system and save the season, a few flashes of brilliance from Rougned Odor and reliever Roman Mendez (1.23 ERA in 20 appearances) are about the best the farm system has had to offer in the face of all this adversity.
So we'll see how the Rangers respond to all this come winter, but for now it's clear the road back to respectability will be a challenging climb in a lot of key areas.
A Sports Illustrated cover promoted them as "Your 2017 World Series Champs," and when is the SI cover ever wrong?
All right, fine, don't answer that. And while you're at it, try not to focus too much on the fact that it doesn't look like Brady Aiken will even get a chance to prove There Is No Such Thing as a Pitching Prospect -- at least, not in Astros gear. The Aiken situation and the hacked internal message board are issues Jeff Luhnow's front office will have to overcome in all future negotiations.
Still, this is undoubtedly a club on the upswing, playing with more passion than you'd expect from a team so far below .500. In addition to an MVP-type season from Jose Altuve, the Astros have seen encouraging signs from Dallas Keuchel and Collin McHugh on the mound and encouraging power from George Springer and Jon Singleton at the plate. That said, shortstop Carlos Correa lost key development time due to injury, and it's too soon to tell if Mark Appel's Class A struggles were a California League concoction or something more sinister.
The Astros won't win it all in 2015. But at least they'll be one step closer to 2017.
Three straight seasons of 90-plus losses, and a .446 winning percentage this year means they're dangerously close to a fourth. Counter to that continuity is continuity of a different sort, as Ron Gardenhire has been given an especially long leash for a man in his position, with the early word that the Twins will honor his 2015 contract.
Will Gardenhire finally have a ready-to-win roster? Hmm. The four-year, $49 million Ricky Nolasco contract looks even worse now than it did when it was announced, neither of the two goals of Joe Mauer's move to first base (returning his performance to past norms and keeping him healthy) became reality thus far in 2014 and top prospects Byron Buxton and Miguel Sano both basically lost a year of development due to injuries.
But at least Mauer has been much better since his return from an oblique injury, rookie Danny Santana has been a strong offensive weapon who can still shift back to short, Brian Dozier has been a stable supplier of offense in the middle infield, Kurt Suzuki has been a blessing both with his bat at the plate and input behind it and Kennys Vargas (.537 SLG in 95 at-bats) is a straight-up beast. On the mound, the Twins have gotten strong returns out of a low-key investment in Phil Hughes (108 ERA+), Kyle Gibson (92 ERA+) has shown flashes of being at worst a mid-rotation starter, and Trevor May and Alex Meyer at least offer some hope for the rotation's not-too-distant future.
This season made it painfully clear, yet again, that waiting on a durable season from Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez is not, in and of itself, a plan. And neither, frankly, is dangling either of those guys in the trade market, where their value is hindered by their lack of consistent health and the ample money due to them over the next several seasons. Couple those concerns with the ever-present difficulty of building a championship-caliber pitching staff in Coors Field (this year's staff ERA is hovering at 4.99), and a Rox front office with a decidedly unusual structure has another challenge ahead of it.
The biggest question, in the wake of some pointed public comments from owner Dick Monfort, is whether any changes will be made within that front office. Whoever is calling the shots will have to navigate around the absence of Tyler Chatwood and the concern over Jhoulys Chacin's shoulder condition to piece together a respectable rotation that may or may not include Brett Anderson (Colorado holds a $12 million option on him) and pending free agent Jorge De La Rosa. It's a tall order in the Rockies.
The Phils are still stuck in-between steps, because dispatching Roberto Hernandez to the Dodgers for a couple of warm bodies isn't going to alter the organizational calculus any. A recent Philadelphia Daily News column painted Ruben Amaro as "out of touch." Given Amaro's apparent expectation that other clubs should be forking over top prospects for the soon-to-be-37-year-old Marlon Byrd and $13-million-per-year closer Jonathan Papelbon, that's not an entirely unfair viewpoint. The Phillies are only now coming to grips with the long-present reality that their club was too old, expensive and flawed to be a true contender in the NL East, and it's going to take a major overhaul (and probably quite a few swallowed contracts) to turn things around.
This, simply put, will not be a quick process, and the general inaction this summer hasn't exactly sped things up at all. Nor has the apparent friction between Ryne Sandberg and some young players with no clear roles.

So far Maybin has been terrible again this year. There are likely several outfielders on the Free Agent list in every league that are better options than Maybin. He is a bad player on a team that plays in a terrible hitters' park.
EDIT: He replaced Maybin with a superior option in Ichiro, and now hopefully de Aza.

Spring 2020 classes have resumed online.Please visit
dcccd.edu/coronavirus for additional information and to
learn how to prepare for online classes.
This article appeared in a January 2016 issue of the student newsletter.
Thinking about transferring to a four-year university or college? A smooth transfer begins with careful planning.
To help you, the Dallas County Community College District (DCCCD) holds Transfer Fairs at our seven campuses each year.
We bring in four-year universities and colleges that have articulation agreements with DCCCD. These agreements ensure that you have a guaranteed and seamless transfer to those universities or colleges.
At the Transfer Fairs, our four-year university partners – UT-Arlington, UT-Dallas, the University of North Texas, Texas A&M-Commerce and many more – will share information on transfer admissions, tuition costs, general and Phi Theta Kappa transfer scholarships, bachelor degree plan requirements, campus life and much more.
You do not need to register for a transfer fair. Just come on by!
Also, we recommend meeting with an
academic advisor on your campus to develop a transfer plan. Preferably this meeting would occur
before you attend the transfer fair, but if your schedule does not permit this, no worries— you can also meet with an advisor
after the fair.
Questions about transferring? In addition to meeting with an
academic advisor, you can visit the DCCCD
Transfer Services website for a lesson in "Transfer 101."

After 12 "episodes" the Scripted Cable Renew/Cancel Status has been canceled. It debuted on November 7, 2012 and the list that "aired" on February 23 was its finale.
I know what you're thinking. This: "I read it. All my friends read it. Your stats system must be antiquated!" And this: "TV by the Numbers never loved that list and didn't want it to succeed. They launched it on a Saturday. A SATURDAY! C'mon!"
Kidding aside, our tracking isn't antiquated and is pretty much exactly the "full census" measurement that many fans clamor to see utilized for TV shows. Sadly, even with a full census data the poor performers still get canceled. I launched it on Saturdays so I could give it extra "promotion" by featuring it more prominently on our home page. That helped, but not enough.
A movie or a save by Netflix don't seem likely, but maybe another site will pick it up!

England seamer Jade Dernbach and former Surrey captain Rory Hamilton-Brown are to give evidence at the inquest of Tom Maynard at Westminster Coroners' Court on Tuesday, February 26. The pair are believed to have been among the last to have seen Maynard, their former Surrey team-mate, alive.
Maynard's body was found on the tracks near Wimbledon Park station at 5.10am on Monday, June 18, 2012. His car had been stopped by police at 4.15am after officers described it "being driven erratically on Arthur Road, SW19" after which the male driver "made off on foot." Maynard, the son of former England batsman and batting coach, Matthew Maynard, was 23.
Dernbach and Hamilton-Brown are the only cricketers called as witnesses. Hamilton-Brown, 25, relinquished the Surrey captaincy in August following a prolonged spell of compassionate leave. A school friend and housemate of Maynard, he subsequently left Surrey for a new start at Sussex. Dernbach, 26, continues to feature in England's T20 side.

PIMCO bond manager Bill Gross says the Federal Reserve's low policy rate is sufficient to provide a return on investment for stock and bond owners, but does not induce the sort of productive investment needed to generate long-term economic growth.
In his September investment outlook appropriately titled "For Wonks Only," the fund manager offers his insights into the economic theory behind his oft-stated "New Neutral" thesis, which holds that a levered global economy severely limits how much the Fed can raise rates.
Two variables figure in the monetary straitjacket Gross describes: credit creation and credit velocity.
The former must constantly expand at a high enough rate to pay interest on previously issued liabilities so as not to trigger the need for the sale of existing assets.
If the current rate on outstanding debt in the U.S. is 4.5%, the Fed should target credit expansion of at least 4.5% per year. Nevertheless, credit expansion has averaged just 2% for the past 5 years and only 3.5% in the past year.
U.S. underachievement in credit creation is to blame for today's economic stagnation, where the economy struggles to reach 2% real GDP growth.
A second variable of monetary policy is the velocity of money. Gross says no central banker knows how fast money should be changing hands in the economy and must therefore only dial the level up or down cautiously in order to avert a credit collapse.
But as a general rule, he writes, "the projected return on financial assets (relative to their risk) must be sufficiently higher than the return on today's or forward curve levels of cash (overnight repo), otherwise holders of assets sell longer-term maturities and hold dollar bills in a mattress — lowering velocity and creating a recession/debt delevering."
We may be "dangerously close" to that level where the mattress is more appealing than a Treasury bond, Gross warns.
Indeed, the portfolio manager says that were it not for the Fed's low policy rate, which he has argued will peak at 2% in 2017, stock prices would be too risky relative to their return at today's interest rates.
For now, Fed policy is supportive of continued asset price growth, but long-term economic growth will not be forthcoming absent productive investment in the economy.
Gross says that central bankers are looking hopefully to elected leaders to solve that problem of weak growth through deficit policies and tax reform that might revive "capitalistic animal spirits."
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis released an economic paper early this week that offers a fresh take on one of Gross' concerns, the velocity of money.
Titled "What Does Money Velocity Tell Us about Low Inflation in the U.S.?" the paper by the St. Louis Fed's Yi Wen and Maria Arias says monetary supply via the Fed's quantitative easing has been extremely rapid relative to the output of the economy.
Indeed, the authors say it has grown at a pace of 33% a year between 2008 and 2013, compared with just below 2% a year for the economy.
Since economic theory suggests that the difference between monetary growth (33%) and output (2%) should be reflected in the price level, the question is: why have we not seen 31% inflation in the past five years of monetary stimulus and low growth?
(The authors also posit that higher economic growth was a theoretically possible outcome as well, but either way growth plus inflation should have equaled 33 — the level of monetary growth.)
"The answer lies in the private sector's dramatic increase in their willingness to hoard money instead of spend it," write Li and Arias. "Such an unprecedented increase in money demand has slowed down the velocity of money."
In other words, the Fed's huge increase in the supply of money has been counterbalanced by consumers' redirecting those funds into their mattresses — precisely the precipice to which Gross argued our economy is dangerously close.
Li and Arias attribute consumers' hoarding to a weak economy and a "dramatic decrease in interest rates that has forced investors to readjust their portfolios toward liquid money and away from interest-bearing assets such as government bonds."
The Fed's zero-rate policy, they say, has essentially "reinforced the recession," triggering a decrease in the velocity of money that is 69 times larger than economic theory would suggest.
While Gross's New Neutral suggests that investment assets remain attractive at today's low policy rates, Li and Arias observe that the behavior of ordinary Americans at least suggests "the best form of risk-free liquid asset is no longer the short-term government bonds, but money."

The MASCAC expanded its field for this week's soccer tournaments from four teams to six, and that's good news for the Worcester State men's squad and captain DJ Gustafson of Webster.
The Lancers' overall record of 4-10-2 isn't great, but they won their last three games of the regular season to grab the fifth seed in the tourney. Gustafson, a fifth-year senior midfielder, is hoping to make the most of his final playoff appearance.
"It's a whole new season once you get into the tournament," Gustafson said. "I think we can make some noise, for sure."
Gustafson, who helped lead Bartlett High to a state title in 2006, came back from injury to start all 16 games for the Lancers this season. In the third game of 2011, Gustafson fractured the tibia and fibula in his right leg and missed the rest of the season. He received a medical waiver to return to the Lancers this year.
"I was happy to come back," said Gustafson, who was an All-MASCAC second-team selection as a sophomore, "but the other guys I played with for my whole college experience graduated last year, so I feel like the old guy on the team."
Gustafson, who is finishing up course work toward his degree in business administration, which he will earn in December, is also working 25 hours a week at an accounting firm in Westboro this semester.
The Lancers, who last year advanced to the MASCAC semifinals and earned an ECAC Division 3 Tournament invitation, finished the regular season with wins over Fitchburg State, Rhode Island College and MCLA. Their schedule included three regionally ranked opponents.
"I feel like we played pretty well the whole season," Gustafson said. "We just didn't play a whole game together for most of the season. The past couple of weeks we've come together."
Junior Brendan Whitson of Auburn has keyed the late-season run with seven points in the last three games. Whitson has eight goals and 21 points, both team highs.
Meanwhile, the Worcester State women's soccer team qualified for the MASCAC tourney for the ninth straight year and earned the No. 2 seed. The Lancers (8-7-2) play the Bridgewater State/MCLA winner in the semis at 7 p.m. Friday.
The Worcester State women won the MASCAC championship in 2010, advanced to the final last year and went on to win the ECAC tourney championship.
Senior Brianne Beckman (13-6-32) and junior Gaby Gonet (10-7-27) lead the Lancers.
Tory Benoit moved up to midfielder last year and helped her Roger Williams soccer team win its second straight Commonwealth Coast Conference championship.
This season, she returned to her usual center back position and happily has the Hawks vying for another title.
"Defense is where my heart is," said Benoit, who protected the area in front of the net for her goalkeeper sister, Kristy, when they were teammates at Shrewsbury High. "It never stopped."
The sisters helped the Colonials to the Central Mass. Division 1 crown in 2007. Kristy went on to play soccer at Babson and graduated magna cum laude in 2011. Tory, a junior, is likewise excelling on and off the field at Roger Williams.
After helping the Hawks post seven shutouts this season, Benoit earned All-CCC first-team honors. Roger Williams hosts Endicott in the conference tournament semifinals tomorrow. The Hawks are seeking their third straight NCAA tourney appearance.
"There are eight juniors on the team this year," Benoit said, "and we're all looking to keep it going. We want to win four out of four years here."
Benoit also played basketball and tennis in high school. At Roger Williams, she's on the outdoor track and field team — "just for fun" —– and competed in the heptathlon last spring.
Benoit, a CCC All-Academic selection, is considering a career in law, and last spring traveled to Europe to observe and compare court systems in England, the Netherlands and France. This winter, she will study the influence of sports on the Australian culture during visits to Sydney and Melbourne. Benoit has also participated in Roger Williams' alternative spring break program, building houses in Arkansas in 2010 and 2011.
"I've just had so much to do my entire life, if I didn't I think I'd just get bored," she said.
Power was being restored to the Roger Williams campus yesterday afternoon following Hurricane Sandy. The team practiced indoors Monday and was back outside yesterday preparing for tomorrow's game.
The Holy Cross men's and women's basketball teams will host exhibition games against Assumption this weekend at the Hart Center.
The men's game is at 7 p.m. Saturday.
The women's game is at 1 p.m. Sunday. As in years past, admission to the women's game is $5 for adults and $3 for students, with all proceeds going to the Mercy Centre School in Worcester.
The Worcester State women's basketball team will host kids clinics for girls ages 7-16 on Nov. 4 and 11. The clinics will be held from 1-5 p.m. each day and will include skill instruction, fundamentals and preparation for the season.
Worcester State also will hold a women's basketball coaching clinic from 8:30 to noon on Nov. 11. The clinic will cover drills, practice ideas, plays and Xs and Os. The guest speaker will be Brian Wilson, Connecticut College coach and former Holy Cross assistant.
For information on the clinics, contact Worcester State women's basketball coach Karen Tessmer at (508) 929-8769 or email@example.com.

The right steps to take when you travel with pets
Now that warmer weather is upon us, many owners aare making plans to hit the road with Fido or Fluffy.
Think ahead, says the American Animal Hospital Association.
Here are some tips from AAHA:
+ Start planning early, research transportation and lodging options, and make an appointment with your veterinarian to talk about additional vaccinations or preventive medications for the
area in which you will be traveling.
+ Look for flights in the early morning or late evening, when temperatures are at their lowest.
+If your pet doesn't have a microchip, consider having one implanted.
+Know basic pet first aid, and carry a first aid kit.
+ Do not allow pets to ride in the front seat. They are at risk of being thrown into the windshield, can interfere with your ability to drive, or could be injured by an airbag.
+ Disable electric window controls. Dogs have been known to get their heads stuck in windows after stepping on the buttons.
+Stop for "potty breaks" every two hours.

Be Kind to Animals Week, May 2-8, is the American Humane's Association's annual event celebrating the bond between people and animals, and encouraging the humane treatment of all animals.
AHA offers five ways to be kind to animals every day:
+ Adopt a pet from a shelter or breed-specific rescue. Shelter pets make loving lifetime companions, and many shelters offer pet-matching services and follow-up training and advice to help you and your new best friend form a bond.
+ Report animal abuse. Violence against animals is terrible enough, but it could also be a sign that other violent behavior, like domestic abuse, is happening.
+ Spay or neuter your pets. An estimated 3.7 million animals are euthanized in America's shelters every year due to a lack of homes. Help stop pet overpopulation and euthanasia of adoptable animals by making sure your own pets are spayed or neutered.
+ Live humanely with wildlife. Learn how to peacefully coexist with deer, bats, skunks, squirrels, raccoons and rabbits.
+ Get active in local animal welfare policies and legislation.

Practicing good dental hygiene may make a significant difference for your pet, a veterinary dental expert says.
An animal's teeth may be more important to its overall health than most pet owners realize, says Dr. J.R. "Bert" Dodd, a board certified veterinary dentist at Texas A&M University's
College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
"Human dentists have done a really good job of educating people on practicing good preventive dental health, but often we don't think about preventive dental health for our pets," said Dodd.
Overall dental health can be an indicator of current or future health challenges for humans and pets.
"As goes the mouth, so goes the health. So, taking care of your pet's mouth and keeping it nice and healthy, should help the animal live longer," said Dodd.
Preventive dental care includes regularly brushing your pet's teeth and getting an oral evaluation and dental cleaning at least annually by your veterinarian.
"Periodontal disease is a disease of neglect. If preventative dental health is not practiced
and periodontal therapy, such as root canals and tooth extractions, is ignored, other health
complications may follow," said Dodd.
Teeth, gum or mouth problems can cause infections and disease, or they can be symptoms of
serious illness in veterinary patients.

Drive-in theaters drew crowds in cars for summer movie nights
It was summertime. It was hot. It was time to cool off at the drive-in…
Automobiles loaded with families or sweethearts or pals and pets assembled on summer nights at local drive-in movie theaters all over America. The pilgrimage was a time-honored tradition stemming from Depression days when cheap entertainment thrived. Families could spend a whole evening together; the little ones could drop off to sleep in the back seat while mom and dad enjoyed their popcorn and soda and forgot about paying babysitters.
Of course, the drive-in had a few drawbacks. The crackling noise from the squawky box hanging on the driver's window could be hard to decipher. The under-lit projection could make it seem the whole movie was shot at midnight. Or the greasy goodies from the snack bar could have repercussions. But for an inexpensive night out, it could hardly be beat (did anyone ever really hide in the trunk of a car to get in free, or is that an urban legend?).
The very first drive-in movie theater opened on June 6, 1933 in Camden, New Jersey. The Park-In Theater, in photo above, shows theater-goers lined up to take in the experience. At 25-cents-per-car admission, it was sure to be a hit during the Depression. Richard Hollingshead, a young entrepreneur, devised a way to offer comfortable movie watching to the public by experimenting in his own driveway.
The technology evolved, and as the photo below of the Valley Drive-In Theater shows, by 1953 there were major changes afoot. Here, the manager of the Valley Drive-In, Leonard Albertini, right, shows his projectionist Leon Barefield a reel of 3-D film, comparing it in size to a conventional reel of film held by Barefield.
Today, the remaining drive-ins may be going digital, but the experience doesn't change for the customer.
It's an American classic.
See these great photos by Denver Post photographer Joe Amon of the Mesa Drive-In in Pueblo, Colorado.
Photo #3 is my favorite!

News From:
What idea will change everything? "Prediction is difficult, especially when it concerns the future." The quote about the difficulty of recognizing the future, is sometimes attributed to Karl Valentin, or even Mark Twain. Technological views of wrong as forecasts made around the time of 2000 testify: from nuclear powered cars ri settlements on Mars. In this book, however, the cream of the global research community ventures forth with their outlooks in brief essays. A good book by sober scientists, not by technology dreamers.

I used my favorite sugar cookie dough and a carrot nose template I made from heavy paper. I placed the template on the rolled out dough (I roll it out pretty thick, 3/8-inch), cut out the cookies with a sharp knife and put them on the cookie sheet, leaving room to insert the sticks. With a small, sharp knife I made a tiny slit at the spot on the cookies that I wanted to insert the sticks(about an inch from the wide end), and then gently inserted them about halfway in. I placed the baking pan in the freezer for about 15 minutes and then baked the cookies at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. When the cookies cooled, I used orange royal icing with a #3 tip to outline the cookie. After the outline dried for about 15 minutes, I filled the carrots with the royal icing, thinned out a bit with water. After about an hour of drying, I added the details with a #3 tip and left them to dry.
These cookies would be very fun as a photo prop (as you can see) and then offered as a treat...double pleasure! They would be the perfect cookie pop to make any time during the entire winter season.
Have Fun with your own munchkins and make some Carrot nose cookie pops!

Research on UltraZyme Hydrocarbon Published in the Journal of Environmental Engineering
A recent study conducted by the University of Alberta, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, was published in the Journal of Environmental Engineering, which showcased the use of Cypher's UltraZyme Hydrocarbon product to remediate oil sands tailings. Oil sands consist of a mixture of sand, water, clay and bitumen, and in Canada the deposits that are the largest and most widely developed are known as the Athabasca Oil Sands. Although the most technologically advanced processes in the world are used to extract these Oil Sands deposits, there remains an accumulation of 1,075 million m^3 of tailings – enough to fill 430,000 Olympic sized swimming pools! The research conducted by the U of A using UltraZyme has shown promising advances in the steps being taken to improve the processes involved in the remediation and recycling of these tailings. The tailings being generated by the Athabasca Oil Sands can be generally … Read More

Innovation in Myanmar Road Construction Using EarthZyme®
Cypher recently finished two projects in Myanmar, involving the use of EarthZyme® combined with inexpensive localized clay road material. Both projects are a result of the local government responding to alleviate the problematic conditions that are characteristic of the region's rural roads. Both roads are susceptible to heavy volumes of traffic, leading to insurmountable construction and maintenance costs, as well as lengthy construction delays. These projects were carried out in order to find a cost-effective method of road construction that would withstand this traffic for longer periods and alleviate long-term construction costs. Cypher Environmental's own Construction Foreman, Jayme Gladden, oversaw the entire production of both projects—helping to educate the local construction workers on proper application technique. The first project took place between Shwe Hlay village and Shwe Ku village. The roads around these villages were in extremely poor shape and had enormous potholes—roughly 1m2 in diameter—making it extremely difficult to … Read More
