Coyotes' Mike Smith ready for season to start
After a 113-day lockout, the NHL and the players' union agreed to the framework of a deal that could get the players back on the ice competing in games as soon as mid-January.
"Excited, but I'll believe it when I see it I guess," said Phoenix Coyotes goaltender Mike Smith Monday after the open skate. "Obviously there's a different energy in the air now that we've come to an agreement so it's definitely an exciting time."
Smith, like several other NHL players, received an early morning text with the news of the new deal.
"I was sleeping, actually. (Shane Doan) took five days to get back to me," Smith said. "I texted him on January 1st to wish Happy New Year and see how everything was going and six days later I get a text back at 3:30 in the morning, which would be 5:30 for him, so I kind of was easy on him."
The NHL is devising a reported 48-game schedule due to the work stoppage, which forced the cancellation of at least 480 games.
Smith said that will also create some new challenges.
"There's new faces in the locker room and people coming and going, so hopefully we can jell together quick as a team and kind of build off that momentum that seems like it was so long ago with the playoff run that we had last season."
Smith did say that there is one positive -- everybody was dealing with the same lockout and the same amount of time away from the game they love.
"You know obviously there are some challenges but everyone is in the same boat. There's no advantages to anyone that's been sitting out this long," reiterated Smith.
"There have been players that have been playing in Europe but a lot of guys have been playing since August. Hopefully they aren't all tired out, or at least our guys aren't, and everyone can get ready and get on board from day one."
This past weekend, the two sides spent more than 16 hours in tense talks with a mediator to get this framework drawn up. It's a ten-year labor contract that still has to be ratified by the 30 team owners and approximately 740 players.

WATERVLIET -- When a large caliber gun misfires, the U.S. Army calls the Benet Laboratories first.
That's because the engineers at Benet have been crafting and improving cannons and mortars since the 19th century, when the laboratory was known as the Arsenal's engineering and design division.
The Benet Labs are tasked with improving the design of all high-caliber cannons for the Army. In the most recent version of the cannon mounted on the M1 Abrams tank, Benet engineers used carbon fiber which not only reduced the cannon's weight by more than a ton, but also increased its resilience.
As the Abrams engine can only propel a maximum weight, the savings in the cannon weight can be translated into additional cargo for troops, heavier armor, or air conditioning. The latter can save a soldier's life in the blistering heat of the Middle East's deserts.
"With the fire control and the new ammunition, this cannon can reach out two miles in pitch black and have a 99.9 percent assurance of a direct hit on a 36 inch square," said John Askew, deputy director of Benet Labs. "When they get you in their sights, you're pretty much toast."
Although Benet is no longer a part of the Arsenal, having spun off to become a satellite of the military's research branch more than 50 years ago, the laboratories still maintain a close working relationship with the facility.
As each new cannon or other device is developed, Benet Labs enlists the help of the Arsenal. "We're their $1.5 billion toy factory," said Arsenal Deputy Commander Ed McCarthy. "If they want us to make a prototype, we make a prototype."
With each new design, the engineers at Benet Labs will make improvements until they have the ideal product. During that process, Arsenal employees are not simply producing the cannon; they are also taking part in its design.
For example, McCarthy said that Benet engineers might request a ground finish for a certain cannon, and such a finish might be theoretically ideal, but the Labs might also be seeking cost savings. Arsenal employees, familiar with the capacities of each machine, might recommend a mill finish that would cost less, but be just as effective. As McCarthy noted, it is the ease of such collaboration that makes the two military installations co-location ideal.

Google Announces 18 New Android Mobile Phones
At the Google I/O developer conference in San Francisco on May 27, Google's senior director for mobile platforms Andy Rubin made it public that many new Google phones are expected to appear by end of 2009.
According to an article in the New York Times, Google has a direct scoop on 18 new Android-based mobile phones hitting the market by end of this year, with the number perhaps as high as 20. Four or five of these devices should be real Google phones, that is, they'll have the logo and work with Gmail and other services, such as the G1 from T-Mobile.
A majority of the anticipated phones (12 to 14, according to Rubin) subscribe to Google's "small strings" option whereby manufacturers can load Android for free into their devices, but also agree to include Google applications on them. Another five or six vendors subscribe to the "bigger strings" option where devices need to carry the Google logo, but which includes a "no censorship" clause to protect other Android applications developed on them (no matter the risk involved). The third option is "obligation-free," where the devices have no preloaded Google applications, an environment in which Google has less control and where it is harder to predict how many devices of this type will hit the market.
Altogether eight to nine manufacturers will be producing these devices. Most of the devices should appear in Europe, according to Rubin. It seems carriers and makers in the U.S. want to produce relatively fewer but more highly distinctive Android mobile phones to give themselves a competitive edge.

RetroArch Developer's Maister & Squarepusher have released the latest version of the Multi-System Emulator, which now resides at version 0.9.9. There are 3 cores that
have been officially added to the emulator. Some of these cores have appeared in unofficial Compiles. Since appearing on unofficial compiles such as pete_uk's these cores have seen vast improvements: Tyrquake (Quake Engine), NXengine (Cave Story Engine) & a new NES option in QuickNES .
Also new for the PS3 was a new Optimized PS3 video driver which should result in a big latency reduction. No longer does the PS3 version of RetroArch have a 2-pass shader system. This feature has been reworked to allow for a new 8-pass shader stacking system. Also there have been many misc. changes to various cores and under the hood of RetroArch, including a Fix to the NEStopia core to allow for Famicon Disk support. All these details and more can be seen below in the Changelog. (View complete changelog in spoiler) .
PS3 Related Changelog (see full changelog in spoiler)
* (PS3) Optimize PS3 video driver extensively - should result in a big latency reduction.
* (PS3) Totally remove the 'old' fixed 2-pass shader system and replace it with a new, forward-compatible with PC 8-pass shader stacking system. RGUI/RMenu makes CGP files dynamically as you set new shader stacks.
* [SNES9x Next] Seiken Densetsu 3/Romancing Saga 3 no longer downsample to
low-resolution for high-resolution modes on Xbox 1/Gamecube/Wii

- Xperia Play (fixes ANR issues after 30 seconds)
- TTT THT pad
- Sega Virtua Stick
- Ouya pad (untested)
- Gamestop Wireless
- Tomee NES USB
- Thrustmaster T Mini Wireless
* (Android) Add back key behavior - can either 'toggle' RGUI' on/off or exit the app.
* (RGUI) RGUI now works on PC, Android, iOS and Blackberry - and is no longer Wii-exclusive.
* (RGUI) RGUI is an ingame menu that can be toggled from within the game. It looks and functions a bit like MAME's OSD system. It is possible now to configure most of RetroArch's settings from this builtin menu instead of having to exit the game and go to an 'external' settings menu.
* (RGUI) Added a 'Game History' list.
* (RGUI) Added sophisticated shader stacking - for Cg shaders.
* (RGUI/Libretro) Add disk image swapping - supported by Mednafen PSX and PCSX ReARMed.
* (Libretro) Add libretro GL capability to libretro API. Supported currently by PC, Android, iOS, Blackberry, Raspberry Pi, and Pandora. Targets either GL 2.0 or GL ES 2.0. Targeting GL ES 2.0 is encouraged for maximum portability to mobile platforms.
* (Libretro/RGUI) Add Core Options. This makes it possible to 'expose' options for a libretro core to the frontend.
* (Libretro) Add SET_SUPPORT_NO_GAME to API.
* (RGUI) Change menu layout options.
* (PS3) Optimize PS3 video driver extensively - should result in a big latency reduction.
* (PS3) Totally remove the 'old' fixed 2-pass shader system and replace it with a new, forward-compatible with PC 8-pass shader stacking system. RGUI/RMenu makes CGP files dynamically as you set new shader stacks.
* (Wii) Optimize Wii video driver by using inlined macros for certain fixed-function state code.
* (360/Xbox 1) Optimize 360/Xbox 1 video drivers by using inlined command buffer macros
* (360) Removed shader system for this release - will be re-added in a future 0.9.9 point release. The main problem is that on Xbox 360, all our render targets need to fit inside 10MB of EDRAM - which is just pathetic if you want to have any FBO scaling options similar to what can be done on PS3. I'll be looking at either tiled rendering or just implementing the same 'hack' I did before (where I forcibly set the maximum source framebuffer resolution at 512x512 for two-pass shaders and hoped nobody would notice so I could stay within the confines of the 10MB of EDRAM for render targets). For now, the PS3 port is way superior than the 360 port in the graphics stakes due to this 10MB EDRAM limitation for render targets.
* (Menus) Standardize RGUI, RMenu and RMenu XUI to look and work the same.
* (Overlays/RGUI) Overlays can now be scaled and their opacity changed from RGUI).
* (RMenu/RGUI) Add text scrolling when a text string is too large to fit onscreen.
* (RMenu XUI) Have all menu screens now use the same basic XUI template. Cuts down on a lot of code maintenance at the expense of language customization by end-users. A solution will be looked at later.
* (Xbox 1) Slim down on menu texture - leaves us with more free RAM to play with - only tested on 480p - somebody with 720p/1080i resolution support should contact me - even though I'm afraid making the menu texture any bigger is going to be a waste of RAM anyways. Upsides of this are obvious - far faster switching between menu and game and consumes way less RAM which means games like Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Vampire Savior now fit into RAM without pesky and slow file I/O-based VM.
* (Wii) Add additional VI resolutions.

RETROARCH PS3 - 0.9.9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RetroConsole Level: 2 Author: Themaister, Squarepusher/Twin Aphex ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HOW TO INSTALL THIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ON DEBUG (DEX) PS3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Put the PKG file 'retroarch-ps3-v0.9.8.3-dex.pkg' on your USB stick, put it in your PS3. Go to the PS3 XMB - go to the Game tab - Select 'Install Packages', and install the PKG file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ON CFW P3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Put the PKG file 'retroarch-ps3-v0.9.8.3-cfw.pkg' on your USB stick. Put it in your CFW PS3. Go to the PS3 XMB - go to the Game tab - select 'Install Packages', and install the PKG file. NOTE: The official release no longer supports Geohot/Wutangzra CFWs. If you must use them, you have to do pkg_finalize on the PKG to install it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HOW TO USE THIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ On first startup, RetroArch will select one of the dozen or so emulator/game cores. The name of the core currently loaded will be shown at the top side of the screen. You can now select a ROM that this core supports and load it in the Filebrowser. To select a different core in the menu - press Select to go to the Settings screen. From here, go to the 'Retro tab', and select 'Default emulator core'. Press X to go to a filebrowser where you can select a different core. Press X to confirm, then exit RetroArch. Start up again to boot up to the new emulator core. To change to a different core ingame - press R3 to bring up the 'Quick Menu'. Select 'Change libretro core'. Press X to go to a filebrowser where you can select a different core. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ INGAME CONTROLS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ During ingame operation you can do some extra actions: Right Thumb Stick - Down - Fast-forwards the game Right Thumb Stick - Up - Rewinds the game in real-time ('Rewind' has to be enabled in the 'Settings' menu - warning - comes at a performance decrease but will be worth it if you love this feature) RStick Left + R2 - Decrease save state slot Rtick Right + R2 - Increase save state slot RStick Up + R2 - Load selected save state slot RStick Down + R2 - Save selected save state slot L3 + R3 - Go back to 'Menu'/'Quick Menu' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WHAT IS RETROARCH? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RetroArch is a modular multi-system emulator system that is designed to be fast, lightweight and portable. It has features few other emulator frontends have, such as real-time rewinding and game-aware shading. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WHAT IS LIBRETRO? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Libretro is the API that RetroArch uses. It makes it easy to port games and emulators to a single core backend, such as RetroArch. For the user, this means - more ports to play with, more crossplatform portability, less worrying about developers having to reinvent the wheel writing boilerplate UI/port code - so that they can get busy with writing the emulator/porting the emulator/game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Right now it's unique in that it runs the same emulator cores on multiple systems (such as Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii, Xbox 1, etc). For each emulator 'core', RetroArch makes use of a library API that we like to call 'libretro'. Think of libretro as an interface for emulator and game ports. You can make a libretro port once and expect the same code to run on all the platforms that RetroArch supports. It's designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind so that the porter can worry about the port at hand instead of having to wrestle with an obfuscatory API. The purpose of libretro is to help ease the work of the emulator/game porter by giving him an API that allows him to target multiple platforms at once without having to redo any code. He doesn't have to worry about writing input/video/audio drivers - all of that is supplied to him by RetroArch. All he has to do is to have the emulator port hook into the libretro API and that's it - we take care of the rest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PLAYSTATION3 PORT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The PS3 port of RetroArch is one of the most developed console ports of RetroArch. A couple of unique features RetroArch PS3 boasts that is not commonly found anywhere else: - Game-aware shading in every emulator now (*) - Real-time rewinding - More shader features (motion blurring, etc) - Switching between emulator cores seamlessly, and ability to install new libretro cores Included with RetroArch PS3 are a bunch of shaders - including the latest versions of the popular xBR shader. It is possible to use two shaders simultaneously to get the best possible graphical look. * Check out Opium2k's manual shaders for Zelda 3 and others - you can find DLC packs for RetroArch at this site: https://code.google.com/p/retro-arch/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EMULATOR/GAME CORES BUNDLED WITH PS3 PORT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The following emulators have been ported to RetroArch and are included in the PS3 release of RetroArch. For more information about them, see the included 'retroarch-libretro-README.txt' file. - Final Burn Alpha (Arcade - various) [version 0.2.97.28] - FCEUmm (Nintendo Entertainment System) [recent SVN version] - NEStopia (Nintendo Entertainment System) [1.44] - Gambatte (Game Boy | Super Game Boy | Game Boy Color) [version 0.5.0 WIP] - Genesis Plus GX (Sega SG-1000 | Master System | Game Gear | Genesis/Mega Drive | Sega CD) [version 1.7.3] - SNES9x Next (Super Nintendo/Super Famicom) (v1.52.4) - VBA Next (Game Boy Advance) - Prboom (for playing Doom 1/Doom 2/Ultimate Doom/Final Doom) - Mednafen PCE Fast (PC Engine/PC Engine CD/Turbografx 16) - Mednafen Wonderswan (WonderSwan/WonderSwan Color/WonderSwan Crystal) - Mednafen NGP (Neo Geo Pocket Color) - Mednafen VB (Virtual Boy) All of the emulators listed above are the latest versions currently available. Most of them have been specifically optimized so that they will run better on PS3 (some games would not reach fullspeed without these optimizations). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WHAT EXTENSIONS ARE SUPPORTED BY EACH CORE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Prboom WAD|wad - SNES9x Next smc|fig|sfc|gd3|gd7|dx2|bsx|swc|zip|SMC|FIG|SFC|BSX|GD3| GD7|DX2|SWC - Genesis Plus GX md|smd|bin|gen|zip|MD|SMD|bin|GEN|ZIP|sms|SMS|gg|GG|sg|SG| cue|CUE - VBA Next GBA|gba - FCEUmm nes|NES|unif|UNIF - NEStopia nes|NES|fds|FDS - Gambatte gb|gbc|dmg|zip|GB|GBC|DMG|ZIP - Final Burn Alpha zip|ZIP - Mednafen PCE pce|PCE|cue|CUE - Mednafen Wonderswan ws|WS|wsc|WSC - Mednafen NGP ngp|NGP - Mednafen VB vb|VB ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ZIP SUPPORT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Selecting a ZIP file will temporarily unzip that file to the harddrive. The temporary file will be deleted as soon as the game gets unloaded and/or when you quit RetroArch. NOTE: For the FBA core (and other cores that have 'block_extract' set to true) - selecting a ZIP file from the Filebrowser will load that game directly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Troubleshooting ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you find that RetroArch no longer works for whatever reason, there is a way to get it back to work - - Remove retroarch.cfg from the 'SSNE100000' folder, then start up again. The Libretro management service in RetroArch should automatically pick a random libretro core and write this to the config file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What can you expect in the future? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Make the libxenon port release-worthy. - Add console-friendly features (nicely formatted names for FBA, some better way to do core switching, etc) - Fix NxEngine issues on consoles - Finish up MAME 0.72 port - Finish up ScummVM port - Port of VICE to libretro - More emulators, more games that will run on RetroArch - Lots of other crazy ideas that might or might not pan out ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Credits ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Mudlord for his Waterpaint/Noise shaders. - Hyllian for the xBR shader. - Opium2k for the nice manual shaders (bundled with PS3 release). - Deank for assistance with RetroArch Salamander on CFW PS3s and Multiman interoperability. - FBA devs for adopting the libretro port. - Ekeeke for help with the Genesis Plus GX port. - ToadKing for having done a lot of work on RetroArch Wii. - Freakdave for helping out with the Xbox 1 port. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Websites ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Twitter: http://twitter.com/libretro Source: http://github.com/libretro Homepage: http://www.libretro.org Opium2K DLC for RetroArch: https://code.google.com/p/retro-arch/ IRC: #retroarch (freenode) ---------------------------------------------------

The HPPGB has a monopoly on guided climbs up Gunung Batur. It requires that all trekking agencies that operate on the mountain hire at least one of its guides for trips up the mountain. In addition, the cartel has developed a reputation for tough tactics in requiring climbers to use its guides and during negotiations for its services.
At Pura Luhur Batukau you are fairly well up the side of Gunung Batukau. For the trek to the top of the 2276m peak, you'll need a guide, which can be arranged at the temple ticket booth. Expect to pay 1,000,000Rp for a muddy and arduous journey that will take at least seven hours in one direction.
Six kilometres south of Bayan is the traditional village of Dusun Senaru, where locals will invite you to chew betel nut (or tobacco) and show you around. Community tourism activities can be arranged in most guest houses.
Located 7km before the Puncak summit, are the lush, tea-carpeted hills of Gunung Mas Estate . You can tour the tea factory (7000Rp), which is a couple of kilometres from the highway, or combine it with a guided walk through the plantation itself (60,000Rp).
A wonderful local English- and French-speaking guide who lives in Tarung – Waikabubak's hilltop traditional village – she can organise tours of traditional villages throughout West Sumba where she sniffs out funerals and sacrifices, horse tours through area rice fields, and can arrange village homestays too.
The perfect introduction to Bali's fascinating culture and handicrafts, picturesque rice paddy fields, traditional villages and a spectacular lake and volcano. Your journey takes you to Batubulan, known for its stone carving and ornate temples, here you will see the exciting Barong Dance.
Within the Bali Botanical Gardens, you can cavort like a bird or a squirrel at the Bali Treetop Adventure Park . Winches, ropes, nets and more let you explore the forest well above the ground. And it's not passive – you hoist, jump, balance and otherwise circumnavigate the park. Special programs are geared to different ages.
Bali's moneyed elite shuttlecock themselves silly at the Canggu Club, a new-age version of something you'd expect to find during the Raj. The vast, perfectly virescent lawn is manicured for croquet. Get sweaty with tennis, squash, polo, cricket, the spa or the 25m pool. Many villa rentals include guest passes here.
Ashram Gandhi Chandi, a lagoon-side Hindu community, follows the pacifist teachings of Mahatma Gandhi. Guests may stay for short or extended periods, but are expected to participate in community life. Simple guest cottages by the ocean are handy after a long day of yoga here.
To really experience Malang through the eyes of a local, get in touch with the Malang Tourism Ambassadors , a loose-knit group of students who offer free city tours of Malang and the region. All speak good English and are extremely passionate about their city.
Kupang-based Dive Alor, run by Australians Graeme and Donovan Whitford, is a highly experienced scuba outfit that arranges trips to Alor. It also has a huge selection of high-quality carvings and weavings from around Nusa Tenggara and some Chinese ceramics.

On the contrary, it is precisely because people are asking "how should I parallelize" that they need to ask the basic question of "where does my code spend time for my problems." Most people I know working on parallelization or optimization have at least asked that question. Starting parallelization without this knowledge in advance is an exercise pretty much guaranteed to fail.

Saint of the Day Blessed Phillip Rinaldi
Reading 1 Is 25:6-10a
will provide for all peoples
A feast of rich food and choice wines,
juicy, rich food and pure, choice wines.
On this mountain he will destroy
the veil that veils all peoples,
The web that is woven over all nations;
he will destroy death forever.
The Lord GOD will wipe away
the tears from all faces;
The reproach of his people he will remove
from the whole earth; for the LORD has spoken.
On that day it will be said:
"Behold our God, to whom we looked to save us!
This is the LORD for whom we looked;
let us rejoice and be glad that he has saved us!"
For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain.
Responsorial Psalm PS 23:1-3a, 3b-4, 5, 6
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
In verdant pastures he gives me repose;
Beside restful waters he leads me;
he refreshes my soul.
R. I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.
He guides me in right paths
for his name's sake.
Even though I walk in the dark valley
I fear no evil; for you are at my side
With your rod and your staff
that give me courage.
R. I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.
You spread the table before me

Only goodness and kindness follow me

And I shall dwell in the house of the LORD
for years to come.
R. I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.
Gospel Mt 15:29-37
Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee,
went up on the mountain, and sat down there.
Great crowds came to him,
having with them the lame, the blind, the deformed, the mute,
and many others.
They placed them at his feet, and he cured them.
The crowds were amazed when they saw the mute speaking,
the deformed made whole,
the lame walking,
and the blind able to see,
and they glorified the God of Israel.
Jesus summoned his disciples and said,
"My heart is moved with pity for the crowd,
for they have been with me now for three days
and have nothing to eat.
I do not want to send them away hungry,
for fear they may collapse on the way."
The disciples said to him,
"Where could we ever get enough bread in this deserted place
to satisfy such a crowd?"
Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?"
"Seven," they replied, "and a few fish."
He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground.
Then he took the seven loaves and the fish,
gave thanks, broke the loaves,
and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds.
They all ate and were satisfied.
They picked up the fragments left over–seven baskets full.
The Truth About You: Looking Through Love's Lens
Those are the little things, the little acts of love that God sees and understands. Those are the things that define you, that make your whole being beautiful. That doesn't make up for our sins and failings, and it certainly doesn't excuse them… but it means there are shreds of goodness even in the midst of our brokenness.
The definition of beautiful isn't an absence of sin or blemishes; it's the presence of love. Beautiful is not about having arms like Michelle Obama, but like Mother Teresa.

The word 'eucharist' means 'thanksgiving' in Greek; did you know that? It's a meal that we come to, and I hope you come grateful. Not only grateful that He picks you, but grateful that He feeds you.

Ballance blast fails to dethrone Chennai Super Kings in t20 Champions League
10:12am Tuesday 23rd October 2012 in Sport By Graham Hardcastle
Yorkshire's memorable Champions League t20 journey ended in a four-wicket defeat to Chennai Super Kings in Durban.
It was only the county's fifth loss in 19 Twenty20 matches in the calendar year of 2012, with three of them coming in their group 'B' campaign during the last week in South Africa.
Invited to bat first yesterday, Yorkshire posted a below-par 140-6 despite the best efforts of Gary Ballance, who hit five sixes in an excellent 38-ball 58 against international bowlers such as Doug Bollinger and Ben Hilfenhaus.
He shared 78 inside ten overs for the fourth wicket with home city boy David Miller, back in the side for the first time since the opening match of the qualifying stage nearly two weeks ago.
Ballance peppered the boundaries on either side of the wicket, while Miller was more reserved on the way to 28 off 26.
One of Ballance's sixes even went over deep mid-wicket and out of the Kingsmead ground off the left-arm spin of Ravi Jadeja, but the momentum subsided when he and Miller both departed inside the last three overs of the innings.
Subramaniam Badrinath then anchored the Chennai chase with a top-score of 47 off 38 balls after they had been reduced to 26-2 in the fifth over.
Indian Test captain MS Dhoni also hit 31 off 23, but some poor fielding from Yorkshire contributed to their loss with six balls to spare against a side boasting 958 international caps to their 34.
"If we look at it honestly, we were about 20 runs short," said batsman Joe Root, who links up with the England Test squad in Dubai later this week.
"We needed to pull off something special in the field and with the ball. We got off to a good start bowling wise, but we couldn't quite pull it together. The fielding wasn't quite as good as it has been, but we did give it a really good go. I don't think you can ask much more of a young set of lads. I think the average age of our squad this trip has been 24, and we can only get better."
Andrew Gale (23) underpinned an excellent start to the match at 35-0 after five overs, but the White Rose lost three wickets for eight runs in the next three overs to undermine their chances.
Losing wickets in clusters has been a problem for them throughout this competition, and the departures of Gale, Adam Lyth and Root in quick succession ultimately cost them.
However, Ballance and Miller made the contest interesting with some powerful hitting.
Dhoni, usually the CSK wicketkeeper, was even given a couple of overs by stand-in captain Suresh Raina, but he and Hilfenhaus were both hit for two sixes in the 17th and 19th overs by Ballance.
Bollinger and Albie Morkel finished with two wickets apiece, while Hilfenhaus also struck. Yorkshire only scored 20 off the last three overs.
After Steve Patterson and Oliver Hannon-Dalby took wickets to leave the Super Kings at 26-2 in the fifth over of the reply, Raina and Badrinath sparked the recovery with a third-wicket stand of 48 inside seven overs.
Hannon-Dalby then had Raina caught at deep cover before Iain Wardlaw bowled Badrinath in the 17th after he had also shared 43 in 5.1 overs for the fourth wicket with Dhoni.
Azeem Rafiq removed Jadeja before Wardlaw yorked Dhoni with the scores level in the penultimate over. Yorkshire, who fly home tomorrow, will rue giving away four overthrows twice.
Wardlaw and Hannon-Dalby both finished with impressive figures of 2-23 from their four overs.

Staff Writer
The Tampa Bay players and coaching staff will all miss what receivers coach P.J. Fleck has brought to the team this season, but Fleck's receivers will always remember what they've learned from the new Western Michigan head coach.
When you have quality assistant coaches, you tend not to have them very long, as Bucs' coach Greg Schiano found out earlier this week.
Buccaneers wide receivers coach P.J. Fleck will be leaving the team after their season is over as he was recently named the new head football coach at Western Michigan. Fleck's departure, however, really should not come as a surprise because he is known for his energy and confidence on the field, and because of those attributes, Fleck was bound to move up through the coaching ranks.
Before joining Tampa Bay's staff, Fleck was also coaching under Schiano at Rutgers. The two are more than just head coach and assistant coach to each other but good friends as well. Schiano knew there was a possibility he would be losing his wide receivers coach because he knew what Fleck aspired to be one day – a head coach.
"He is a good coach," Schiano said. "When you hire good coaches you [know] that's part and parcel with that, especially if they have aspirations to be a head coach, and I knew from the day I interviewed P.J. back when that that's what his ultimate goal was. I'm happy for him. He's an assistant coach for me but he was a friend as well and a guy that I'm very happy for. He's continuing to do his responsibilities here and (Ben) McDaniels is picking up some of the load...but together, we're not going to miss a beat. That's what staffs do, they kind of pick up the slack and get it done but he'll be here through the end of the season and then he'll be full time up there."
According to Schiano, the transition of losing Fleck has been smooth for the team. Offensive assistant Ben McDaniels has stepped up and is filling in where needed. The players are happy for their coach and yet at the same time know they still have their job to take care of.
"I know they're very happy for him, they're very close those guys," Schiano said. "They're very, very happy for him, but this is professional football. These things happen and they're professionals and they know they have a job to do and it's been business as usual. And Ben's been in the room with them the entire year, so it's not like, oh here comes a stranger out of nowhere. So he's filling in where needed and it's very smooth."
For wide receiver Mike Williams, he will continue to use what his position coach has taught him. One of the most important ways Fleck helped Williams this year was teaching him how to keep his head in the game.
"All the techniques," Williams said. "Him with the techniques, him not letting me get down on myself, him letting me know that I'm still a good player. [He's] keeping my head in the game, really. But all of his techniques I'm still going to use. I'm going to still do what he said."
Fleck's players that he coached, even for just one year, have confidence in his ability to step up and become a head coach.
"I think he's going to be great," Williams said. "I just want to see how his whole team [will be] coached. I just want to see their first day of practice, how everything goes."
Former Rutgers receiver Tiquan Underwood also reiterated what Williams said in that he helped him develop his techniques as a receiver. Underwood believes the Western Michigan players are fortunate to have such a great coach.
"As a coach he brings a lot of energy to the program," Underwood said. "[He] is a great guy and [for] me personally he has helped me develop my game as a wide receiver. A lot of technical things that I needed to iron out and fix he has helped me with that. The guys at Western Michigan are lucky to have him."
Underwood believes that Fleck will do great as a head coach. Fleck may be presented with different challenges that being a head coach brings, but Underwood believes he is capable of it.
"He has that trait and I think he is going to do well as a head man," Underwood said. "It is going to be different for him obviously with his always being a receivers coach, but now he gets a chance to run the show himself. I think he will do fine."
Schiano, who has known Fleck for several years, also agrees with what his players have said about Fleck and his ability to be a leader. It is the energy and confidence that Fleck has which will make him a great head coach.
"He has very strong beliefs and he's very sure of himself," Schiano said. "That's the deal. At one point I was the youngest head coach in the country and I remember that was all, blah, blah, blah. But you just do what you do. You don't really have experience, so you just do what you think is right and if it's wrong you fix it and keep moving. But the one thing he has is great energy, he's got great focus on what he wants to do and he has very strong beliefs and when you have that, 80-percent of leadership is knowing where you're going."
The team is not allowing anything to distract them from their job to play each game as a one-season game as coach has said all year. Underwood knows his position coach will be splitting time between the two, but he believes that Fleck will do a great job of providing balance.
"Every game is the same for us," Underwood said. "You go out there [and] you lay it on the line. Hopefully we go out there and execute well and that turns into wins. Right now we are focused on the next two games. I know he is trying to split time between the two. He will do a good job of balancing that."

Good for you Victoria H., you got two players who show what a good coach can teach and inspire while only being here one season. I feel coach S will continue to hire worthwhile subordinate coaches. JMHO. Great article!!

May Photo A Day - Day 5 - Bird
This is a picture I took like 2 years ago of some Seagulls. I'm choosing this picture because I like it & it has some meaning to me. Before the demise of my marriage I worked with my now ex-wife on her blog - I submitted pictures. This picture got an accolade from Canadian Musician Bif Naked - it also made me go Vegetarian for a week (long story involving Twitter). So yeah I like this picture & I love Bif Naked

text: In this drama, a daughter defends her aging father against scandalous accusations. Joseph Mueller (Max Von Sydow) was born in Germany but emigrated to Australia shortly after the end of World War II. Joseph is happily spending the autumn of his years doting on his two grandchildren and giving friendly business advice to his daughter Anne Winton (Carol Drinkwater) and son-in-law Bobby (Steven Jacobs), who have inherited the hotel that Mueller founded. One morning, as Joseph walks his grandchildren to school, he discovers that a camera crew is following him from a distance, led by reporter Leah Zetnick (Julia Blake). A few days later, Leah broadcasts a report alleging that Joseph is in fact Franz Kessler, a former member of Hitler's S.S. and a war criminal responsible for the death of Leah's parents, among many others. Suddenly besieged by the media, Anne and Joseph go into hiding after authorities issue an indictment against him. Joseph eventually steps forward to stand trial, defended by attorney George Coleman (Tom Robertson). After George calls Leah's credibility into serious question in court, Joseph is cleared of all charges, and a seriously distraught Leah commits suicide in front of Joseph and Anne. But Joseph's casual reaction to Leah's shocking act makes Anne wonder if Bobby's suspicions about her father's past might have a basis in fact. Max Von Sydow and Julia Blake both won Australian Film Institute awards for their performences. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Let the Uni know what you think
Each of you will soon get an email asking for a couple of minutes of your time to answer six short questions about your experiences at the University of Newcastle.
For the first time we're doing the survey online - which you'll be pleased to know is saving more than 20,000 sheets of paper this Semester alone - so it's quick, confidential and much better for the environment.
Your input is important and will help to improve courses you take in the future. As well as answering questions about your experiences, there is also the opportunity to make comments.
The survey will be open for two weeks starting Monday 11 May, but we'd appreciate it if you could complete it as soon as you can. If you haven't got around to filling it out, we might send you a reminder after a week or so.
Look out for an email with the subject line 'student feedback on courses'.

So, you've had Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 on your PC for a long time. Now you want to install another operating system. This is where you come to a fork in the road. You have 3 choices:
- Wipe your hard drive clean and install the new operating system
- Split your hard drive into two portions (partitions)
- Keep the operating system you have on your PC and install your new operating system inside a virtual computer(also known as a virtual machine or a VM).
This article is going to take a look at the third option. The third option is one of the many forms of Virtualisation. But what is Virtualisation? Essentially, Virtualisation is taking hardware and recreating the hardware using software.
In this article, I am going to have a look at desktop virtualisation. I am not looking at this from the view of how this would work inside a company, this article is looking at how this would work on the computer you have at home. Essentially, this would allow you to run many different operating systems inside one computer.
It is a great technology. I personally use it to try out the different versions of Linux on my PC.
First of all, it is great for troubleshooting, If you have to solve a problem on a friend's computer, you start a VM, solve the problem in there and then apply that solution on your friend's computer.
It will also save some money. If you are in a home that needs to have a computer for every person, then this maybe a good solution. Instead of buying everyone a computer, you would simply have someone log in to a server and power up their virtual machine.
I should point out that every virtual machine would get it's RAM, CPU power and other resources from the actual PC(the PC hosting the VM). Therefore you would need to make sure that you have plenty of memory before implementing desktop virtualisation in this way. If necessary, buy extra RAM, a bigger hard drive and a better CPU(AKA processor or central processing unit) before creating a virtual machine.
Of course there are many different virtualisation applications for Linux PCs, Windows PCs and Macs. Some are free and some are not. In particular, my favourite virtualisation tools(and in my opinion, the five main tools) are VirtualBox(free), VMWare Player(free), VMWare Fusion(paid for), Parallels Desktop(paid for) and Virtual PC(free).
Once you have downloaded and installed one of these great virtualisation tools, you will need to launch your tool and create a virtual machine. You will need to create a virtual hard drive for each machine. These will be stored on your computer in one of the many formats such as Microsoft's VHD or VMWare's VMDK(both of which are compatible with VirtualBox).
Once you have created your virtual machine, you can then install the operating system you want onto this machine. To do this, you need to either have the physical install CD or DVD for your operating system to hand, or an ISO(a disk image)file for your operating system. In the settings for your virtual machine, you can then point virtualBox to the ISO or physical CD/DVD for your image. Now that you have your install disk inserted into your virtual machine, you can now start the machine and install your operating system on it. If you have a powerful enough computer, then you have multiple virtual machines powered up at the same time. Meaning that you would be able to run Windows and Linux side by side without having to reboot the computer.
If you have Windows 7 Professional on your PC, then you will be able to download Windows XP Mode. Basically, this is a free and legal Windows XP VM that you can use on your Windows 7 PC. I am using this because it allows me to test out beta versions of browsers before I use them on my real PC. I had WebKit, Opera, the mozilla firefox nightly builds and chromium installed on my Windows XP VM. If you have a copy of Parallels Desktop(and Parallels transporter) on your Mac, then you will be able to make a clone of your Windows PC and turn the clone into a VM "on-the-fly".
So there you have it, desktop virtualisation in a nutshell. If you want to know more, then have a look at this video that I found.

Silver Bowl Brings In $5.9 Million
The price for a Colonial-era silver bowl at a Sotheby's New York sale of Important Americana has astounded antiques lovers. The bowl had an estimate of $400,000 to $800,000 but sold for a hammer price with buyer's premium of $5,906,500. The price was particularly amazing considering that no piece of early American of silver had previously sold for more than $1 million. The bidding was reportedly heated with bids over $3 million batted back and forth between two competitors an anonymous gentleman seated in the room and New York dealer S.J. Shrubsole. Eventually the anonymous bidder won setting a record for American silver and locking in the second highest price ever paid for silver at auction
What makes this bowl so special? Created around 1700-1710 it is probably the largest piece of early eighteenth century American silver currently in existence. It has quite a story behind it, the brandywine bowl descended with the Loyalist family of Commodore Joshua Loring since before the American Revolution and just came to light in England last year. Loring left his mansion in the Jamaica Plain area of Boston in 1774 and hid the large bowl in a well. Loring and his family moved to London in 1776. After the Revolutionary War, his son rescued the bowl and took it to England. It stayed in the family for all these years until the family decided to sell. This bowl was sold with two 19th century letters from members of the Loring family that reveal the bowl's history.

Work standing up, avoid processed food for better performance, 'Paleo' author John Durant urgesBy Ross Benes
Related links
New Yorker John Durant, a Grosse Pointe native and University Liggett School graduate, is back home in Metro Detroit promoting his new book about his "professional caveman" lifestyle. Durant, the son of former U.S. Senate candidate and Cornerstone Schools founding Chairman Clark Durant, will sign copies of The Paleo Manifesto: Ancient Wisdom for Lifelong Health at Elevation Burger in Ann Arbor on Friday and Barnes & Noble in Grosse Pointe on Saturday. He will have a book release party at New Species CrossFit in Royal Oak on Tuesday. About seven years ago, Durant worked as a management consultant for New York-based Novantas LLC. Fresh out of Harvard University, Durant noticed his metabolism slowed and his energy began fluctuating throughout the day. Instead of relying on coffee, Durant conducted a self-experiment and followed the Paleo lifestyle, which includes natural foods, periodic fasting and barefoot exercise. Pleased by the results, Durant started a blog, an online social group and now has written the book embracing the Paleo lifestyle. He also advises health food restaurant Hu Kitchen in New York and a New-York based company that makes cricket-based protein bars called Exo. Durant, 30, has been featured in The New York Times, The New Yorker, on National Public Radio and on "The Colbert Report." Crain's caught up with him to discuss how the Paleo lifestyle relates to the business world. The Paleo movement has been around for a while. What gap in the market does your book fill? The diet books have already been written. This is not a diet book. It's more of an adventure story. I also look at more than the Paleolithic era. I look at the agricultural, industrial and information ages so the book has a broader scope. I also look at more than food and exercise and talk about ethics and the environment. What advice would you have for businesspeople who want to adopt this lifestyle but encounter non-Paleo food during client/business dinners? They can order a salad with some meat on it without croutons, which most restaurants should have. The benefit of eating like that and not eating processed foods is you won't fall asleep after eating lunch. How else could a person apply this lifestyle to their work life? Aside from eating healthy, people can also stand at their desks. There have been many famous people throughout history who have worked standing up, including Charles Dickens, Ernest Hemingway and Thomas Jefferson. Just simply standing up can make you more assertive and confident. I never take calls sitting down because it makes me more passive. Just standing up for calls can make a big difference. … You can change how you feel just by standing during work. Is there any reason why a company should embrace the Paleo lifestyle in its culture? All companies are increasingly thinking about health care expenses and sick days. They want people at their best. But many companies provide comfort food during meetings - like candy, donuts and cake - that are fun in the moment but people end up feeling less healthy and falling asleep after eating them. And sometimes, when companies cater meetings, they order unnatural processed foods. Just changing the type of food offered would be one simple way companies can make their employees healthier. You live in New York City. Is the Paleo lifestyle more conducive to NYC than to Detroit? People try to make it seem more exotic than it really is. This lifestyle is not limited to NYC. The reality is, people all over the world have been making reasonable changes to the way they live life. And people can do this anywhere. Have you thought of returning to Michigan? Yes, I have. Through the book deal I've been committed to NYC. But since I've come back here I've seem some awesome urban farming and entrepreneurship. Detroit definitely seems like an exciting city.

ON AND OFF THE AVENUE about shopping for cars. Lately, the news out of Detroit is slightly un-bad. Sixty billion bailout dollars later, American auto companies are posting profits and hiring workers. In any case, this turns out to be a fine time to buy a vehicle. Over several weeks this summer, the writer visited New York car dealerships. Fifty-six per cent of New York households are car-free, compared with a national average of ten per cent. In Manhattan, seventy-eight per cent of households claimed no vehicles. One remedy for the car-free household is Zipcar, the world's largest car-sharing company, which offers rentals by the hour. Mentions Manhattan Automobile Company, the largest car retailer in New York City. Mentions Jaguar XJ, the Smart Car, the Mini Cooper, the BMW 5 Series, the Ford Fiesta, the Ford Taurus, G.M.'s Cadillac CTS Sports Wagon, the Audi Q5, Mercedes-Benz, the Tesla Roadster, the electric Nissan Leaf, the Prius, the Rolls-Royce Ghost, and the Classic Car Club Manhattan.

Was stoked that some of the Lucent Dossier crew were dancing just as much as I was...
Dude, we actually took a breather mid set to wipe the champagne off, grabbed some water, saw two songs of Shadow in the Gobi, and were just getting back into the Mohave crowd as Thom showed up and the stage rush happened. Best of all possible scenarios.
This made me smile real big. 2013 dance off cannot come soon enough.
I'm a reasonable man, get off my case....
This was my set of the fest. Absolutely perfect.
Does anyone know if there is a recording of weekends 2's set? I think I saw weekend 1 in the recordings thread but nothing about the second weekend.
Since they only did a webcast for weekend 1 I don't think you'll find a recording of weekend 2. I haven't taken the time to search tho so I could be wrong.
I still can't get over how much fun I had during their set. I was right near the railing and as soon as the bass hit for "kill bill vol.4," I threw tons of water in the air. My friends and I were going nuts. The crowd was going nuts. It was def the most fun I had all weekend.
They should bring them back for 2013.
