Obama tells crowd of 14,000 in New Hampshire he'll champion working families

"You know, the folks at the very top in this country, they don't need a champion in Washington. They'll always have a seat at the table," Obama said. "The laid-off paper mill worker whose retraining at the age of 55 for a new career in a new industry, she needs a champion.
"That teacher in an overcrowded classroom with outdated textbooks, digging into her own pocket to buy school supplies and not always getting the support she needs, but knowing everyday that she might reach that one child and make all the difference in that child's life, she needs a champion," he said.
The president's speech, two days before Tuesday's election, was part of a final push in New Hampshire by Obama and the Republican nominee, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who will be appearing along with the musician Kid Rock tonight at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester.
Obama's speech was preceded by remarks by U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Gov. John Lynch and former President Bill Clinton, who also spoke in Dover later Sunday.
Clinton branded Romney as a candidate who was willing to use lies to advance his political agenda, specifically referring to an ad by the Romney campaign that claims Obama sold Jeep to Italians to move jobs to China. Independent fact-checkers, as well as the heads of Chrysler and General Motors, have called the ad false.
Using a phrase he said he borrowed from former President George W. Bush, Clinton said, "It's absurd. Is that the kind of decider-in-chief you want?
"(Romney) got caught saying something that wasn't accurate," Clinton said. "Now when I was a kid and I got caught with my hand in the cookie jar, I sort of shrugged and took my hand out of the cookie jar. He's grabbing for more cookies. I like Barack Obama as decider-in-chief better."
He also said Romney was suffering from "Romnesia" when he claimed he could create an economic environment that would add 12 million new jobs in the next four years.
"What he forgot to tell you was this: just a few days before that 12 million new jobs promise was made, an independent business forecaster, Moody's Analytics, said to all of us that we will get 12 million new jobs in the next four years if we just don't mess up what the president has already done."
In its report in August, Moody's said the economy would create 12 million new jobs in the next four years regardless of who is president.
Turning a common phrase of election-year politics, Obama argued that much of America is better off now than it was four years ago.
"In 2008, we were in the middle of two wars and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression," Obama said. "Today, our businesses have created nearly five and half million new jobs. The American auto industry is back on top. Home values are on the rise. We are less dependent on foreign oil than at any time in the last 20 years."
But he said the country had more work to do and said he would be the better choice to guide the country for another four years.
"As long as there is a single American who wants a job and can't find one, our work is not yet done," he said. "As long as our families are working harder and harder, but still falling behind, our work is not yet done. As long as there is a child, anywhere in New Hampshire, anywhere in this country, who is languishing in poverty, our fight has to go on."
"On Tuesday, Americans will have a clear choice between four more years of stagnation or four years of prosperity and opportunity," Michael Levoff, spokesman for the Romney campaign, said in a responding statement. "The people of New Hampshire, along with the rest of America, will choose Governor Romney's optimistic vision for our country's future and will vote for real change so he can get our country back on the right track."
As people filed toward shuttle buses, several said they were impressed with Obama's speech.
"He sounded energized and I was encouraged by it," said Barbara Boyd of Deerfield.
"I thought it was well-said, pretty inspiring," said Jim Maceachern, who was with Boyd.
Linda Miccio of Manchester, said was uplifted by Clinton's and Obama's speeches.
"We are moving forward with this country if we put (Obama) back in the White House where he belongs," she said.

Registration for middle school girl's lacrosse will begin Jan. 1. Girls in grades 5-8 are eligible to play. Practices will begin at the end of February and games will begin Mar. 25. Registration forms can be downloaded at www.agll.org.
The Charlottesville Chapter is pleased to announce the addition of SAW Lacrosse to our ever-growing organization. SAW stands for Staunton, Augusta, and Waynesboro Lacrosse and is the brainchild of Chris Darden and KatriHeller. Chris and Katri began SAW in the summer of 2011 with an information table at the annual Waynesboro Summer Extravaganza. The feedback and support from the Extravaganza showed that people in the Valley wanted lacrosse. A follow-up summer weeklong beginner clinic was held in August. It had more than 60 boys and girls attend to learn more about the sport. Monthly clinics have been planned during the winter months to help build and maintain the early momentum with the goal being to field teams or a league in 2012. For more info on SAW check them out on Facebook (SAW Lacrosse) or via email email@example.com.
Fluvanna High School has announced that their Boys' and Girls' Varsity and JV teams will be joining the Jefferson District during the 2012 spring lacrosse season. Fluvanna is the first public school to add lacrosse since Monticello High School did back in the mid 1990's. The efforts to bring lacrosse toFluvanna have been lead by Doug Hotz, Donna Douma, and many other supportive parents. Melissa Frederick led the writing of a Program Equipment Grant from US Lacrosse. Fluvanna was informed in early November that it has been awarded the grant which will provide full protective equipment for 20 boys and 20 girls. As of Nov. 15, 2011, the supporters of Fluvanna Lacrosse have raised nearly $34,000 in cash and equipment, which leaves them $6,000 short of their goal. If you wish to make a tax deductible contribution to help support Fluvanna lacrosse or for additional information, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

THE MAROON A LOYOLA TRADITION SINCE 1923 • "FOR A GREATER LOYOLA,, VOL. 86, NO. 25 ONLINE EDITION AT LOYOLAMAROON.COM FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 2009 Residential director to take on new post By EDUARDO GONZALEZ THE MAROON Reed accepted Student Affairs job Robert Reed, director of Residential Life, said he will miss the connection he has with students when he takes on his duties as assistant vice president of Student Affairs next fall. Reed, who has held his position for 28 years, will oversee several student affairs committees and manage the university student judicial system, among other things next semester. He took the job because he feels strongly committed to Loyola and is always looking for ways to serve and benefit the school, he said. Over the years, Reed has seen many graduating classes walk across the stage and receive their diplomas and has seen many of those students come back to visit. He believes that says something about the school that makes students want to return after they have left. When he starts his new job, he wants to make sure to provide Marcia "Cissy" Petty, associate provost and vice president of Student Affairs, with support. He does not see any major adjustments in the future, however, he plans to make minor improvements in several areas. "I know about the learning communities and other things and if I can take some things off her plate to be more productive, then that's what we'll do," he said. He wants to focus on discipline as a tool for leadership. His primary objective for the student judicial system would be to make sure that students are learning from their mistakes, he said. Craig Beebe, associate director of Residential Life, will also receive a promotion. He will be the interim director of Residential Life starting in August. His new position will require him to supervise operations and act as the strategic planner for four residence halls. Beebe is concerned with the effect the current economy will have on the way he does his job. "At this particular time, I think The Thomas Promise By MASAKO HIRSCH ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR Thomas Hall, the prominent building on St. Charles Avenue, has been closed since fall of 2007, but the director of facility operations ensures that renovation plans are in motion Architects have been hired to remodel it, but the planning is only in the initial stages. "We're just beginning the review and the programming part of the study to see who can fit and what we can do," she said. "Right now, Thomas Hall is just closed. It's not being used for anything. It's awaiting renovation." According to the Rev. James Bradley, S.J., the rector of the Jesuit community and associate director of the Jesuit Center, Thomas Hall was built in 1911 as Jesuit residence. The building's name is in honor of Louise C. Thomas, a benefactor who helped fund its construction. Thomas Hall remained the Jesuit residence until August 2005. "I became the rector in 2003. They'd already been discussing a number of different alternatives to move out of Thomas Hall. The university needed more space," Bradley said. The main Jesuit residence was moved to 6226 St. Charles Avenue, on the corner of Calhoun Street and St. Charles Avenue. It houses some of the Jesuit community, along with a house located directly behind it. The rest of the community lives in other parts of the Loyola neighborhood. "I'm the superior of a community that lives in two houses, three apartments, a rectory and two residences, so we're kind of spread all over," he said. For a year after the Jesuit community moved out, Thomas Hall was converted into a residence hall for students, due to the large incoming class in 2005. "Unfortunately, as the kids were moving in, Katrina hit, so they were out for the semester. When they came back the second semester for spring, they moved into Thomas Hall and then we didn't need it anymore," Moss said. "It's in need of a renovation desperately, it wasn't in good shape. It wasn't certainly an ideal place for the residents. I think they enjoyed it. It worked for one One of Loyola's most historic buildings is one that the majority of students have never entered, much less heard of. Thomas Hall, which was once a Jesuit residence and a temporary dormitory after Hurricane Katrina, has now entered the planning stage to become a welcome center for prospective students and parents. "That will be our admissions front door for new parents and students, and the front door of the visitor's center, a kind of welcoming place," said Ann Moss, director of facilities operations. "Since it's right on (St. Charles Avenue), it makes good sense." Moss added that there are hopes to make it into a "one-stop shop" for current students by moving the offices of Financial Aid, Student Records, Student Finance and the Bursar's Office into the building. Mathes Brierre year," she said. Anne Longman, finance senior, lived in the building her sophomore year in 2006. "It was an old building. It hud that '70s orange carpet and the elevators didn't work," she said. Despite small inconveniences, like being away from the rest of campus, Longman didn't mind living in the building. All of the rooms were singles, and Longman remembered it as a quiet dormitory. Now, Thomas Hall is in the beginning stages of renovation. Moss noted, however, that no big changes would be apparent in the near future. The planning may take anywhere from six months to a year. "It's going to be quite a while before you can see construction," she said. "You're not going to see a shovel any time real soon." Masako Hirsch can be reached at mmhirschCSDloy no.edu.

We should have said that capitation is the payment of a fee or grant to a body providing services to a number of people (such as a university) such that the amount paid is determined by the number of students.

More than 25 years ago, J. Peter Steidlmayer and the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) developed and popularized the market analysis method known as Market Profile. Market Profile, and its companion tool, the Liquidity Data Bank, emphasize price distributions. This is in contrast to most techniques that accentuate price changes and time series of prices themselves. With an exception being those methods that integrate mean reversion, these models lack what may be described as a nondiscriminatory broad view of market price relationships. Instead, a significant premium is placed on the last price, while price history is de-emphasized.
Detailed information about transactions on stocks and futures arrives as ticks. A tick is a record of time, price and volume (t, P, V). These are the result of cooperation between human consciousness and technology governed by partly unknown laws of nature. Study of price and volume vs. time stretches from science to astrology because of a wide spectrum of underlying phenomena. Profits blind justifying means. Losses sober, making traders selective. Above all is a potential profit attracting traders and driving speculation.
Here, we'll examine relationships between distributions of prices and increments, and show how to build price distributions, simple versions of Market Profile, from ticks. In doing so, we formulate an alternative point of view on prices.
Tick sequences
Ticks (t0, P0, V0), …, (tn–1, Pn–1, Vn–1) are ordered t0 ≤ … ≤ tn–1. Inequalities are not strictly because of rounding of the time scale. Each trading session brings a different number of ticks n. The n times prices and volumes, and n – 1 waiting times Δt1 = t1 – t0, …, Δtn–1 = tn–1 – tn– 2 and price changes ΔP1 = P1 – P0, …, ΔPn–1 = Pn–1 – Pn–2 are not constant. One way to reference time and price changes is as a- and b-increments. Prices and b-increments are discrete. Contract specifications set minimal price fluctuations δ reaching percents of daily price ranges Pmax – Pmin.
"Ticks through time" (below) plots a typical sequence of tick prices and volumes. The 30-year U.S. Treasury bond futures are electronically traded on CME Group's Globex system under ticker ZB from 5:30 p.m. (Central) of one day until 4 p.m. of the next regular business day. The total number of ticks reported for the session between Thursday and Friday, Jan. 7-8, 2010, for the contract expired in March 2010, ZBH10, is equal to 32,779. Some of the ticks contain indicative, bid, ask and other prices. Real transactions of 18,297 are extracted from Jan. 8, 2010, from 7:20 a.m. to 2 p.m. This is the time of the contract's open outcry session.
The relationships between prices and their increments are trivial: ΔPi = Pi – Pi–1 or ΔPi+1 = Pi+1 – Pi. They raise a question: What is more fundamental, the price level or the price increment?
Some theories assume that a price increment is independent of the past. Being added to the last price, the increment creates a new price instance. Louis Bachelier (1900) considered independent ΔP normally distributed with the zero mean, variance and standard deviation proportional to the elapsed time and square root of it. These are Weiner processes or Brownian motion fluctuations. Because the Gaussian shocks can be negative, their sum theoretically leads to negative prices.
In 1953, Paul Samuelson suggested a geometric or economic Brownian motion with Gaussian asset-returns, log(Pi+1/Pi) ~ ΔPi+1/Pi, and the variance proportional to time, where higher prices give birth to higher gains or losses. This also prevents negative prices: While logarithms can be negative, their arguments are positive. The Black-Scholes option pricing formulas are based on this proposal. Advanced models, with a local volatility dependent on time and stock price, or stochastics, do a better job of fitting option prices.
Irrespective of the models, the following is true for any price in a sequence:
(1) Pi = P0 + ∑j = 1iΔPj
The matters are simpler if the b-increments ΔPj are independent and identically distributed random variables. This simplicity likely is inadequate. Short-term dependencies occur and distributions change in time (see Benoit Mandelbrot and Richard Hudson's "The (mis) Behavior of Markets," New York: Basic Books, 2004).
In addition, prices and b-increments are discrete. Discrete alternatives have to replace Gaussian, lognormal and other continuous distributions. Zipf-Mandelbrot Law, Riemann, Hurwitz Zeta and multinomial distributions are applied. Weibull and Kumaraswamy distributions model random a-increments. Both a- and b-increments are elementary and there is no clear dependence between them.
Proportionality of asset returns, or price increments, to the square root of elapsed time is used for estimations of value at risk and expected value at risk. These ideas were popular until the recent financial crisis.
Non-Gaussian properties
The first chart in "Tick-level distributions" (below) shows an empirical distribution of price b-increments expressed in δ = 0.03125 = $31.25. It is symmetrical and has one mode. Fitting it by a Gaussian bell curve is unsound because of the δ-discreteness and the following sample moments and extreme values: Mean, 0.000711; sample size, 18,296; variance, 0.175; standard deviation, 0.419; skewness, 0.107; excess kurtosis, 8.93; maximum value, 6; and minimum value, –5.
Click the chart above to enlarge.
The Gaussian excess kurtosis is equal to zero. The value 8.93 implies larger deviations. Indeed, the observed extreme values expressed in standard deviations are equal to –5/0.419 ≈ –11.9 and 6/0.419 ≈ 14.3. The Gaussian probabilities are equal to P(x ≤ –11.9) = 6*10–33 and P(x ≥ 14.3) = 10–46.
To say these are tiny would be inexact. The age of the Earth is about 4.54 billion years. With the transactions occurring every second, only one of them could create the deviation 8.53 * 0.419 = 3.57δ with the Gaussian probabilities P(x ≤ –8.53) = P(x ≥ 8.53) = 7.3*10–18, which is the reciprocal of the age of the Earth in seconds. This is still enormously larger than our findings. A Gaussian model makes them "impossible," but an ordinary ZBH10 session on Friday, Jan. 8, 2010, had 5 - |3δ|, 4 - |4δ|, 1 - |5δ|, and 1 - |6δ| deviations.
Distributions of prices
Two building methods can be suggested. The first is to count how many times the same price occurs in the sequence P0, …, Pn–1 and plot a frequency histogram, such as those shown in "Tick-level distributions." The second is to summarize volumes corresponding to the same price (the third chart in the distribution graphic).
In general, the two histograms differ. They rarely resemble a bell curve, are δ-discrete because of the market conventions, often skewed, have a few peaks, and are limited. (Some futures have daily price limits.) Both distributions can be viewed as simplified versions of Market Profile.
In the original Market Profile histogram, a bar is built up of letters marking non-overlapping time intervals containing the price. These intervals (often 30 minutes) are referred to as time/price opportunities (TPOs) and are marked as A, B, … depending on the market. Original tables additionally present percent contributions of the four types of traders into the volume and the number of transactions. The latter are known after the market is closed. However, by contrast, the frequency histograms require only prices and, in the case of volume diagrams, volume. They can be built dynamically from a tick stream.
Experienced traders know that Market Profile can change within a single session. (Market Profile does not always follow the original conventions.) These same traders may remain puzzled whether the chart is a frequency or volume histogram. As long as statistics and trading rules are established for a particular type, it is important only to apply them consistently.
The TPO letters give an idea about the order of prices in a session and are more informative than a price distribution. Reordering observations in a sample does not change a distribution. The latter and other sample statistics are symmetric functions of arguments. During construction of a distribution, the information about the order of observations is lost. Is it partly recovered if both P and ΔP distributions are given? For concreteness and simplicity let us concentrate on frequency distributions and their means.
The sample mean price is equal to:
(2) μP = ∑i=0n–1Pi/n
Substituting Equation 1 into Equation 2 and evaluating the sum of sums gives the exact equation:
(3) μP = P0 + (n – 1)μΔP – ∑i=1n–1iΔPi/n
where μΔP = ∑i = 1n – 1ΔPi/(n – 1).
Due to the weights i in the sum the difference in the sample means is sensitive to the order of b-increments. Pair of distributions partly recovers the order of prices, while each of them individually loses it. Why?
Reordering prices does not influence μP, but changes the ΔP and μΔP. Reordering the ΔP does not affect μΔP, but keeping P0 intact creates different prices changing μP. Both distributions are built from one sequence. We could expect that neither has an informational advantage. In fact, both are complementary.
Price distributions: Illogical?
Building a distribution from a sequence implies that price is a random variable. A trading session becomes a device producing random quantities similar to a dice drawing among numbers one to six. The δ-discreteness strengthens the analogy. Such a picture does not correspond to theories claiming that price increments are standalone random quantities and current price is the sum of increments drawn until now and added to an initial price. They may consider construction of price distributions and Market Profile illogical.
Indeed, each term in Equation 2 is equal to a constant P0 plus a sum of a different number of random price increments. This implies that the terms are drawn from different distributions and combining them into one does not make sense. Stable distributions provide for some justification.
If a distribution of individual, independent, random variables is stable, then their sum obeys the same distribution type. For instance, the sum of independent Gaussian variables is again a Gaussian one. We should see a bell curve for the sum, if there is a bell curve for the increments. Thus, if ΔPj are Gaussian, then Pi are Gaussian, too. However, this justification is weak because price distributions are non-Gaussian.
The picture changes if a meaning is assigned to some prices. They become primary and increments-derived quantities. A reverse stochastic process oscillating around a single price or rate demonstrates that an answer to the chicken or egg question does not have to be simple.
A meaningful price is the point of control, POC. Traders denote the mode, where the main number of transactions on a frequency histogram or the main volume on a volume histogram takes place. If the main number of positions has been established in the previous day's trading session at POC, then further moves from this level will make actions of the majority dependent on this price. Losing traders will experience pain dependent on distributions of capital and relative losses. The latter will determine a distribution of critical price of closing losing positions. Personal risk preferences add to this distribution.
While price increments are random, the mechanism seems to involve certain prices dependent on previous prices, where the massive volume or number of transactions occurred. Because of the non-uniform distributions of account sizes and risk preferences, the discussed dependencies likely are non-linear. Evaluations of small or zero correlation coefficients can result in misleading conclusions about independence because they do not guarantee it.
A textbook example is random variables x uniformly distributed on the interval [–1, 1] and x2. The coefficient of linear correlation between them is equal to 0. However, if x is known, then x2 is known too. We see that the behavior can be quite sophisticated, where random price increments coexist with temporary price attractors, which may obey their own distributions and be partly dependent. It is better to study these effects using price distributions and Market Profile in combination with increment distributions.
Price distributions and Market Profile used for the computation of the value area and price increment distributions used for the risk estimations are complementary tools that together provide more information about the sequence. Despite the more than 25-year-history, Market Profile remains a modern tool, which deserves extensive research.

- New types of nydus worms are being added; One example is a worm that can spew creep across large areas to create "creep highways"
- Blizzard says they want to get HotS and Blizzard DOTA out to the public "sometime in the near future"
Blizzard posted this video with the HotS update, and though it's completely unrelated, it's still awesome.

...Meh iz no happee. At all. New units already being removed? LMFAO... I'd rather see the Carrier brought back and the Fleet Beacon made useful, rather than this mess. The new Zerg units require micro to make good use of them, which is insane considering the high level of micro already required to play Zerg properly. Giving more siege-breaking power to the Terran is also a mistake IMHO, it will only be used in TvT when people keep spamming the terrain with tanks in siege mode. We're back to square one and I don't expect the game to be released "in the near future". This is getting ridiculous, I'd rather spend some time in Diablo 3 instead of waiting for them to balance HotS properly...

No sense releasing until a bit after Diablo 3.
This game is now delayed by 2+ years.

@SoulFilcher - it's how they have always, and will continue to always iteratively develop and design games. But, I guess hating on Blizzard is all cool now :)
Just what I thought would happen. Blizzard proudly annouces their new stuff for HoTS, things don't go as they expected, they remove everything and start over. And still they listen to players but pretend they don't.

Prudential's 19th Global Volunteer Day rallies 23,000 volunteers to help communities around the globe
On Oct. 5, Prudential employees joined dozens of volunteers in Shelton, Conn., to help build a 400-square-foot house out of non-perishable food items to be donated to local food pantries for community members in need. "They brought their families, they brought their children, they brought their friends. They're out here shoulder-to-shoulder working together to address the food insecurity issue," said Kimberly Tabb, a vice president in Prudential Annuities, who participated in the food pantry project.

Critical Illness coverage available nationwide from Prudential Group InsurancePrudential Group Insurance has added Critical Illness insurance to its suite of products available through the workplace.

"Thanks to medical advances, our chances of surviving a critical illness are better than ever," he says. "However, the out-of-pocket costs during treatment and recovery, even with a good medical plan, can be daunting." (more) |

Those who believe they can't possibly be affected by the new tax on investment income should think again. "The income thresholds for when the tax applies are not indexed for inflation and, over time, more and more taxpayers will be subject to the tax," says Robert Fishbein, a vice president and corporate counsel in Prudential's Tax Department.

Luigi Rodriguez belted a two-run HR, tripled, scored twice, and made a run-saving diving catch, leading the AZL Indians to a 10-2 thumping of the AZL Cubs in Arizona League action tonight at Dwight Patterson Field at HoHoKam Park in Mesa, AZ.
An 18-year old speedy, switch-hitting Dominican CF, Rodriguez leads the AZL in batting average, is second in OBP, and is 4th in SLG, after leading the Dominican Summer League in triples and stolen bases last season. He is the likely front-runner for 2011 AZL MVP, and if the Cubs do make a stretch-drive deal with the Indians, and if I'm Jim Hendry, I'll take Luigi Rodriguez, thank you.
Can the Phillies Match Up with the Cubs on Samardzija?http://www.mlbprospectwatch.com/mlb_prospect_watch...
Brown for Schierholtz/Samardzija would make some sense as a starting point, obviously Phillies would need to add some prospects of which they have few, not sure if they'd deal Jesse Biddle.
Brown's not due for free agency until after 2017 season.
torre/cox/larussa to HOF via veteran's/expansion committee.
btw, torre was a hell of a player before his managing career.
Roy Halladay to retire.
Domonic Brown for Samardzija sounds perfect :)
Funny, funny shit!
Again - L. Berry would love this with a sick Cubs twist!
I would like Spellcheck to establish himself, as a consistent #3 starter.....a #1? Lol....He's not near that yet.
Ask about high-paid managers.
sorry if 3/44, but Levine in this podcast said Cubs could be in on Choo
yeah, and the O's are trying to bring him back.
the O's have a thing for r.flaherty. he actually took over the job on a daily basis for a while last year, but he didn't step up and lost the role.
the guy can field 2nd adequately (as well as 3rd) and he's got 20HR power. consistent quality contact is his only knock.
comfortable with Ryan Flaherty as the team's second baseman. --- Brian Roberts is available?
The Cubs are nearing a tipping point with Samardzija, who remains under club control for two more seasons at a time when the franchise is ramping up for 2016 and beyond. Samardzija's camp confirmed nothing has really changed since last winter, when talks about a long-term extension gained no momentum.
After years of shifting between the bullpen and the rotation and commuting from Triple-A Iowa to Chicago, Samardzija simply wants to let this play out and establish himself as a No. 1 starter before signing a new deal....
I had a thought on Tanaka vis a vis FA spending. Theo appears willing to spend 'FA' money on players like Rizzo, Castro and 25-yr old T-O-R SP like Tanaka. My guess would be to see similar money spent on Baez, Almora, & Bryant as they enter their arbitration years. Until the Cubs are coming off an 88-90 win season, we won't see Ellsbury/Granderson contracts thrown out let alone Cano deals (which was just assinine).
Orioles executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette indicated Sunday that they are comfortable with Ryan Flaherty as the team's second baseman.
to be clear, A's at some point in the past may have asked about Schierholtz and Barney, doesn't mean they are asking now
I think Gentry possibly filled any OF depth issues, Barney may have some use to them and Anderson is certainly someone they'd deal to get out of his contract (they are the A's afterall), but no one knows exactly what they're looking for now. But they always have an eye on this season and the following seasons, so I'm sure there's some options out there.
Why would A's give up Anderson for spare parts?
b.anderson for a bench OF (cespedes/crisp/reddick/c.gentry already in the OF) and a possible e.sogard replacement that's not a sure-thing would be interesting.

Viber for Blackberry is something you should see in your hands very soon. When we recently posted about Viber app for Android, the Viber dev team commented that the application is in the hands of Research in Motion (RIM), the official Blackberry people. Once they approve the Viber for Blackberry app the app will be officially launched. Viber for Blackberry will be available for all supported Blackberry OSs and devices including Blackberry Torch, Blackberry Curve, and Blackberry Bold.

Hopefully, we will see the app soon on our Blackberry devices. Please do not forget to subscribe to our email list so that we can email you as soon as we have the Viber for Blackberry application ready.
Features of Viber for Blackberry
Similar to Viber for Android and Viber for iPhone, you will be able to make free calls to anyone using Viber on his/her iPhone/Android/Blackberry devices. You will also be able to send free text messages to other Viber users.

Update: Viber for Blackberry launched
Viber team has launched Viber app for Blackberry and Windows Phones. You can now download Viber for Blackberry straight from your Blackberry appworld.

We have done another post on Viber for Blackberry that we have attached below where you will find a lot of information about using Viber on your Blackberry phones. It can give you free text messaging as well as free picture messages to all your friends. Please let us know if you have used this app and how do you feel about it. It is kind of discouraging that after such a long wait Viber team only launched the app with significantly reduced features. Come on guys at Viber team, it's been long enough and you should now launch Viber for Blackberry.
Viber for Blackberry and Windows Phone Released by Viber Team
Viber for Blackberry has been released along with Viber for Windows phone. We recently posted about Viber for Blackberry and said that it will be released soon.

Although, you still can not make phone calls, it lets you send free text messages as well as free video messages to your friends on Viber. Viber team has released it succumbing to the pressure that our readers have created . Keep commenting and provide them feedback so that the Viber team can make necessary changes.
Download Viber phone app for Blackberry Devices
You can download Viber for Blackberry as well as Viber for Windows phone from Blackberry app world and Microsoft marketplace respectively.
If you are using a Nokia phone with Windows OS this is perfect as you can use Viber for Nokia phone too.
Features of Viber for Blackberry
- Free text messages
- Free photo messages
- No Phone Calls (Coming soon)
- Works with WiFi, 3G, GPRS, EDGE networks

However, you can still use Viber for Blackberry to send text messages and hopegully in a few months Viber team will let you download Viber for Blackberry with the option to call other Viber users. Remember that with the inclusion of more and more supported platforms, such as Viber for iPhone, Viber for Android, and Viber for Blackberry, Viber team is creating a strong buzz around smartphone users as they can now communicate with their friends breaking the barriers of uniformity of device. For instance, using facetime you can only talk with other Apple users but Viber for Blackberry, and others alike, let you communicate with Viber users regardless of what phone they are using.
Don't have a smartphone?
If you don't have a smartphone but still want to use Viber then you can use Viber for PC as in that case you can download Viber and use it for free from your PC. Viber for PC has made it possible for users to get Viber even when they don't have a smartphone.

Find out how her makeup artist created her fairy tale-inspired look.
"Emma has such stunning features and immaculate skinshe truly is a makeup artist's dream," Music exclusively tells of a youthful glow. We didn't want her face to compete with her dress, anything wild and overdone wouldn't have worked with the colors, shape, and abstract print. A soft lip and cheek with an emphasized eye was the perfect pairing for Emma. She loved what we came up with and felt fun and confident, which I think showed as she walked the red carpet."

Devon and Dan infuse their Charlottesville wedding with special touches that hint at her hometown, their courtship, and their desire to have an elegant and subtly preppy celebration of their love.
Stationer Cheree Berry, for whom the bride now serves as a consultant, created all of the paper elements for the wedding, from the save-the-dates to the signage on the getaway car.
The save-the-date, a square mini book, sets the tone for the wedding. Disclosing the story of how the couple met in a whimsical, fairy-tale manner, it begins with "Once upon a time." (The "Happily Ever After" comes with the wedding program.)
Page by page, the save-the-date continues with Devon and Dan's love story: "There was a Virginia horse race. And at the race, there was a boy with a tie. It was navy and pink, and striped. One-part classic, one-part fun... just like the boy. At the race, there was also a girl, who spotted the tie, before she spotted the boy. She liked the look of the tie. She loved the look of the boy. They laughed. And cheered. And celebrated the race. He asked her out. She said yes. Two years later... she still likes the tie. But she loves the boy. He popped the question. She said yes. Let's laugh and cheer and celebrate with them... as they tie the knot."
The back of the booklet points to the pink ribbon holding it together and explains "We're tying the knot."
The letterpressed invitation features the calligraphy of Elizabeth Porcher Jones and is backed with a pink-and-navy-striped card stock that mirrors the fabled tie. The inner and outer envelopes feature stars stamped on the front, hinting at the subtle fairy-tale aspect of the couple's wedding. The inner envelope, lined with navy-and-ivory-striped paper, is stamped in soft pink with "Virginia is for lovers" by the back flap.
Devon and Dan welcome their out-of-town guests with a box of delicious Virginia treats: apple donuts from a nearby orchard, sparkling cider from a neighboring winery, homemade pumpkin bread baked by the mother of the bride, kettle corn from a local popcorn maker, and a note from the couple, designed by Cheree Berry
Devon's bridesmaids help fan out her Modern Trousseau veil for a photo opportunity with photographer Patricia Lyons
Devon wears a Anna Maier-Ulla Maija gown from Hitched Salon, in Washington, D.C. Ivory satin Christian Louboutin D'Orsay heels from Bergdorf Goodman and Erin Cole jewelry finish her look.
Devon's sister, Rachael, carries a bouquet that mimics the bride's monochromatic blooms, but in a punchy magenta palette that matches her dress.
Devon, a fan of arts and crafts, treated her bridesmaids to a flower arranging class the day before the wedding. The girls learned how to make bouquets, and each made her own to carry in the wedding. Later, the bouquets serve double-duty as decor during the cocktail hour: they are placed in glass vessels, with a calligraphed tag for each bridesmaid attached.
Dan worked with custom clothier Alton Lane to put together a dapper look for himself and the groomsmen. Each three-piece suit is tailored for its wearer and topped with a crisp pocket square.
Wearing a Crewcuts by J.Crew suit, Dan's nephew Dominic carries a madras ring pillow embroidered with the couple's monogram. The pillow -- made by the bride's mother, Phyllis -- adds a preppy element to the elegant wedding.
Devon and her father, Jay, share a moment outside of Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Greenwood, Virginia.
Charlottesville is a fitting choice in location, since the bride attended the University of Virginia. The area has also become meaningful to the groom over the time the couple has dated.
To further personalize the ceremony, Devon's family minister traveled from Maryland to serve as the officiant.
Two hundred guests witness the 5 p.m. ceremony, held in a stunning church with a balcony and large organ pipes. Beehive Events created ribboned garlands of white peegee hydrangeas, Casablanca lilies, roses, and magnolia blossoms and suspended them from the door frame of the church, across the altar, and along the pews.
Guests are transported to the Farmington Country Club for the reception. There, they enjoy traditional Southern touches such as ham and cheese biscuits, cocktails, and croquet on the lawn. Hoping to capture their personalities, the couple worked with Washington, D.C.-based planner Aimee Dominick of A. Dominick Events and local planner Easton Events to execute their vision of a classic dinner party with preppy touches.
The multi-course dinner incorporates traditional Southern fare with the bride's hometown favorites. A chilled gazpacho with a cheese straw (a Southern staple) kicks off the courses; Maryland crab cakes served with sweet potatoes and broccoli rabe follow. A trio of sorbets in mini cones are a sweet ending to the summery meal.
Five show cakes designed by K. Rose Cakes sit on an English tea table for display during the reception. Seven-layer Smith Island Cakes (Maryland's "state cake") from Classic Cakes Bakery were flown to Charlottesville for guests to enjoy.
About halfway through the reception, Devon changes out of her ball gown into a lighter frock by Lela Rose, which she found at Hitched Salon
The newlyweds leave their reception in a 1961 Cadillac convertible with a custom sign on the back.

Blogger Accuses Asus of Infringing GPL with Eee PC
Cliff Biffle, a US blogger, accuses Asus of infringements against the GPL with the software on ist Eee PC.
Writing on the subject of the recent presentation of the Asus mini-notebook, "Eee PC", in his blog, Biffle claims that modifications to the Open Source components infringe on the GPL. Biffle says that he has downloaded 1.8GB of source code from both the US and the Taiwanese sites and checked the code. He discovered that the code does not include all sources. Nor does the source code contain modifications by the PC vendor, and the required documentation was also missing.
In his test report Biffle describes what he discovered about the purported source code the download. He writes that the Zip archive includes just a couple of Debian installation packages, some of which were older versions than those supplied with the device, along with the kernel headers. He goes on to write that Asus has made major changes to the "asus_acpi" kernel modul for kernel 126.96.36.199, but without publishing, or disclosing and documenting the changes. In Biffle's opinion the vendor has taken steps to remove details of the modifications and the new functionality offered by the module. The modified modules now no longer contain typical information such as the module name, version and authoring information, as these details have simply been removed.
The Madwifi for the Atheros WiFi chip has also been modified says Biffle. However, there is no need to publish these changes as the Madwifi is dual licensed under the GPL and the BSD license, which means that Asus can keep the changes to itself.
It also looks like Asus is using the multipurpose Busybox binary in the Initramfs system image but without keeping to GPL rules. The developers of Busybox are currently working with the Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC) to defend their rights in a court of law, if needed.
The blog author writes that he and other people have contacted Asus but without receiving a response. Biffle hopes that Asus will simply say "Oops!", admit its error, and update the Zip archive.

Hi Tala,
I am a tutor on the IDM Digital Marketing Diploma course.
We have around 100 students going through on the first cohort and many are from med to big companies or agencies who are contributing towards students fees which suggests they do see value. Many students are looking to the qualification to give them an edge in the jobs marketplace.
The course is comprehensive (but i'm biased, i helped scope and develop it) with the Certificate covering all tactical aspects of digital marketing - search, e-mail, campaign planning, mobile, etc and the Diploma strategy and planning for more senior folks.
Revolution have been tracking 3 students on the course - should be a feature soon on how they are doing - will post here. Any questions, contact me off-list.

Many thanks Dave for your post - since medium to big companies and agencies are actually training their staff using this certification and diploma - it is certainly something worth doing.
Hi Tala,
I have just developed an MSc in Digital Marketing for the London School of Business & Finance (www.lsbf.org.uk). This course is starting in September and will give marketers a thorough insight into the world of digital marketing, online media planning, production and marketing.
We will be the first business school to offer anything of the sort in the world - a real opportunity to get on board as an early adopter!
I hope ths helps?

Hi Tala,
Marketers with a thorough understanding of the digital technologies are in very short supply, and digital skills have proven difficult to quantify or verify. Part of the problem is that digital marketing is a relatively new professional discipline. But, more significantly, no type of professional training or qualification in digital marketing has been available within India.
This is a problem that the IICM has been first to address comprehensively. Digital marketing is the present and the future. It brings new ways to connect and interact with consumers, customers and prospects. It enables marketers to get closer to their consumers, anticipate their needs, and respond in a more appropriate and timely manner. It also enables organizations to build a more enduring and productive dialogue with their customers.
International Institute of Creative Marketing
The International Institute of Creative Marketing has been founded by Creative Merchants, one of the worlds leading Digital Marketing company for the professional development of creative practices in direct, data and digital marketing.
It sets standards and promotes professional excellence by providing comprehensive professional development and training through education, qualifications and information services of the highest creativity & quality.
The IICM is at the leading edge of one-to one marketing and is dedicated to keeping the marketing profession abreast of creativity from around the world, new technology, new media and the latest business practice.

Sega Japan press conference vid shows Bayonetta, End of Eternity, more
Sega Japan's released a YouTube movie of its 2009 press conference last week, as you can see after the break.
There's footage in there of Bayonetta and End of Eternity, among others, and apparently this marks something of a watershed from a Japanese publisher, who aren't overly inclined to embrace this whole internet "viral" thing in the main.
Thanks, Siliconera.

Buffeted by Republican criticism for its handling of last September's deadly terrorist attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, the Obama administration is mounting a coordinated response.
Thursday, at a Rose Garden news conference with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, President Barack Obama went out of his way to challenge Republicans to fully fund security for America's diplomats.
Republicans have ripped the administration for not providing adequate security for the Benghazi mission at which four Americans, including Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens, were killed.
The White House, in response, has accused Republican lawmakers of cutting diplomatic security funding.
"I am intent on making sure that we do everything we can to prevent another tragedy like this from happening," Obama said. "But that means we owe it to them and all who serve to do everything in our power to protect our personnel serving overseas."
The president said the administration has been taking steps recommended by the Accountability Review Board report, completed last December, that examined the circumstances surrounding the Benghazi attack and made 29 recommendations.
"I'm calling on Congress to work with us to support and fully fund our budget request to improve the security of our embassies around the world," Obama said.
After the Benghazi attack the State Department reviewed security at posts around the world and submitted a request to reallocate $1.4 billion in fiscal year 2013 resources to begin work this year that was approved by the Congress.
The next fiscal year budget request, the administration says, provides over $4 billion for embassy security programs, including $2.2 billion to support increased embassy security construction recommend by the review board.
In a move coordinated with the White House, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Robert Menendez on Thursday introduced a bill funding construction at high-risk, high-threat diplomatic posts around the world.
The New Jersey Democrat said the State Department currently is allowed to construct eight to 10 facilities a year but is funded for only two to three.
The bill also would fund Arabic language instruction and provide more training for diplomatic security personnel.
In a nod to Republican criticism that no officials were fired in the wake of the Benghazi attacks, Menendez pointed out that "at the administration's request" the bill "will authorize disciplinary action in cases of unsatisfactory leadership by senior officials."
The new bill and Obama's comments followed the release Wednesday of almost 100 pages of e-mails between administration officials working out controversial "talking points" on Benghazi that were relied on by the administration to explain events around the attack and that Republicans suggest were downplayed for political reasons.
At the State Department, CNN asked spokeswoman Jen Psaki whether the administration's counter attack of Republican criticism was "damage control."
"I think this is actually the opposite of politicizing it," Psaki replied. "They're talking about what's important about this debate we've been having publicly."
"The secretary has raised this, as has the president today and in the past several days," she added. "While there's been a lot of talk about e-mail and other issues, what their focus is on is protecting the men and women who are serving around the world and taking many steps we can do to achieve that."
Out of the 29 recommendations by the review board, Psaki said the State Department has addressed nearly all of them so far, including creating 151 new diplomatic security positions. Forty-eight are expected to begin this July and another 48 are planned to begin in early September, she said.
As for the four State Department officials placed on administrative leave over the Benghazi attack, she said a review process begun by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continues.
"Secretary Kerry has been briefed regularly and will be making a decision soon," she added.
But Republicans aren't letting up.
Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky told CNN's Wolf Blitzer: "Ultimately, the buck stops with who runs an organization."

Halloween will be here before you know it so it's time to really think about what you want to be this year. You can go the way of movies such as; IronMan, Avatar, Toy Story or Alice In Wonderland, or go the traditional scary route of vampires, zombies or the ever-pleasant Grim Reaper.
No matter what you decide to dress up as this Halloween, one way to ensure you get the most out of your costume is to complete the look with a costume kit. These kits are great for any costume! Just think about it…with the "kitty" costume kit you can work up a costume for a little girl – just add a pair of black leggings and a black turtleneck. If you're thinking a little sexier for an adult cat costume - just add a black skin tight catsuit and a pair of over the knee black high heeled boots and you're all set! Either way by adding the Cat Costume Kit of gloves, headband with ears and tail you've just turned yourself or your chid into a Kitty Cat! What kind of cat is simply up to you!
Costume kits are an easy and inexpensive way to transform yourself into character; bunny ears, butterfly wings, devil horns and even a pocket protector (for the nerd look). With the Michael Jackson Kit you can turn yourself into the "King of Pop" within seconds!
Just like in any fashion, accessories make the outfit!

A close and informal relationship between students, faculty and other staff members is typical of the atmosphere at EBS Universität. We are a small university providing individual guidance and support we all know each other. The climate on campus in Oestrich-Winkel with its historical buildings and green spaces and in the modern Atrium-House in Wiesbaden is characterized by open and friendly communication. Campus life is not just about seminars and lectures. Faculty, administrative staff and students are all involved in a wide range of activities outside lectures and teaching.
It is important to us that our students are able to grow and develop their personality. At EBS Universität we demand and foster their commitment and their sense of responsibility. Organized in an independent association with around 1,500 members, our students work together in numerous student initiatives (so-called Ressorts), which engage in a wide range of different projects such as help for the homeless, presentations, sporting events or even the organization of high-calibre conferences. Moreover, through their involvement in various University boards the student representatives play an active role in shaping the development of our University.
EBS Universität is located in the heart of Germany, in a region that blends history with the modern world like no other: The Rheingau is home to an endless number of historical sights and a few kilometres further on begins the 65km-stretch of the Middle Rhine Valley, a Unesco World Heritage Site. In the opposite direction attractions include the lively Rhine-Main area with the cosmopolitan city Frankfurt am Main and its vibrant nightlife. Excursions organized by students can be like travelling back in time to the 12th century, for instance to Kloster Eberbach, or feeling the pulse of modern times among Frankfurt's banking towers.
