From this vantage point, you can identify a number of the birds and sea mammals that find refuge here. Look for black cormorants perched on a rock, perhaps stretching their wings to dry. Watch the water's surface; you might see a harbor seal poke its head out of the water, or a sea otter wrapped in kelp.
Monterey Bay is part of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, a federally protected marine area offshore of California's central coast. This safe haven is home to a rich variety of fishes, plants, marine mammals and birds.

Congressman introduces new bill for cell-radiation warning labels
Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a democrat from Ohio, introduced a federal bill today that would put warning labels on cell phones and create a national research program to study cell phone radiation levels.
H.R. 6358, named the Cell Phone Right to Know Act, would also require the Environmental Protection Agency to update the standards for specific absorption rate, or SAR, the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a cell phone.

Jana Partners revved up its fight with Agrium today, proposing five candidates to join the Canadian fertilizer giant's 11-person board, lining up a former Canadian member of parliament and a former executive at a rival to help its case.
The activist hedge fund also proposed its own founder Barry Rosenstein, who the Journal profiled here, be added to Agrium's board. The move marks the latest step in a three-month old fight.
Three of Jana's board nominees are touted as "seasoned distribution executives" by Jana, linking their experience to the Agrium business the hedge fund wants spun off.
"Agrium's Board has had every opportunity to respond constructively to our analysis, and instead simply attempted to avoid the issues," Rosenstein said in a release.
UPDATE: Agrium fired back that its shareholder have "overwhelmingly rejected" Jana's ideas and that the company believes Jana's "attempt to run its own slate for Agrium's Board is almost certain to fail."
Jana's list includes Lyle Vanclief, a former member of parliament and the one-time Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food in Canada.
Another candidate is David Bulluck, who was part of the management team at one-time Agrium rival, United Agri Products. UAP was spun out of ConAgra Foods and sold to private-equity shop Apollo Global Management in 2003. UAP was then taken public and eventually sold to Agrium. Jana Partners says the investment was one of Apollo's best.
Jana launched a public campaign in August. Since then, its stake has grown to more than 6% from just under 5%, Jana said today. The Wall Street Journal reported in August that Jana had been pushing for a spin-off of the retail business for months before then.
The two sides have since battled publicly, with Agrium rejecting the notion of a spin-off and Jana allegding a "scorched earth" campaign by the company. After Jana put out a subsequent release on how it believed it could unlock value at Agrium, the company responded by saying there was nothing new in the presentation.
Agrium said again Monday that the plan to split the businesses would "destroy value rather than create it."
These two sides appear likely to grow ever feistier.

South Boston community outraged by Robert De Niro's 'The 4th Reich' Showtime drama
Anti-gay past does not imply pro-nazi present
Published Friday, January 25, 2013, 7:56 AM
Updated Friday, January 25, 2013, 12:23 PM
'Work that exposes Neo-Nazis and other extremists for what they are can play a valuable role in shrinking the troubling phenomenon of hate in the United States. By contrast, of course, anything that romanticizes extremism obviously would be harmful, but there's every reason based on the apparent background of the people involved in this project to think this will fall in former category.'

Why can't we Irish start a campaign to remove Jesus from the cross. I find it offensive as an Irish Catholic. At least remove it from the crosses in Ireland, if the rest of the world want to continue with this blatant insult to the Jews, then let them. Robinson's Jams were forced to remove the Golliwog and Fruitfield removed the black cat from the Olde Time Irish Marmalade. Would blacks like to see a Gilliwog on the crucifix or Peta a black cat, doubt it.
So go on Ireland, show the world that you care and follow my lead and demand, insist on the removal of Jesus the Jew from our churches.

Rebel: Your comment reminds me that a few of my cousins, one in particular, persieves herself to be 'racially' superior to all of us who came here from Ireland, including her own parents.She believes that we are products of poverty, drudgery, misery, starvatiobn, disease, ignorance and superstition, that we have faulty genes and inferior DNA. However, when I move in WASP circles, where my wife belobgs, no one ever indicates any feelings of superiority over me.

Rebleforce I don't think you can start to play the oppression Olympics now that you have been forced to acknowledge you share this nation with every ethnic heritage. South Boston is famous for discrimination. First it was against African Americans, then gays. No one made them do that. They can't whine if they're called out for it.

Well, we know that the Irish and Catholics are two groups that are NOT protected under the Laws of Political Correctness. You are not allowed to stereotype or portray blacks, Jews, Hispanics, Asians, Eskimos, American Indians, etc. in a negative light without being named and shamed in Hollywood. But the Irish, WASPS, Southern whites and Arabs are all fair game it seems.

Has it occurred to anyone that Boston's Irish and WASP communities should combine to jointly celebrate Lincoln's Birthday (Feb. 12)? Such an event should emphasize the Reunification of the once divided American nation and the hopes for future Reunification of Ireland. Verterans would play a significant role in this WASP-Irish celebration and Christian morality, especially as it applies to families, would be very evident on this occasion. How about it?

The Hollywood and Manhattan moguls are sloppy and uncreative. It's very easy for them to unthinkingly stereotype whole neighborhoods like South Boston or whole regions like the Old Confederacy.

@ZippidyDooDah: Dear Zippy: This is an orchestrated attack by the sophisticated media to "paint the Irish" as a Gestapo which is anti personal fulfillment. It is called morality and the Irish are family oriented. The current marxist government wants to destroy the Catholic Church. Look at the forced busing to South Boston. It destroyed the Catholic neighborhoods in the name of integration. The Catholic archdiocese was outmaneuvered and the end result was the destruction of the archdiocese of Boston with the sex abuse scandal and its pedophile priests such as Goeghan and Shanley. This was all about a complx plot orchestrated by the devil to infiltrate and destroy morality in the United States. The marxist in the White House is only a notion of its fulfillment and success. His "radical thespian" playmate in Libya is only one more indication of what is going on on the world stage.

The Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) has designated Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) as a Centre for Comprehensive Capacity Building under the JnNURM directorate for Sustainable Water Management including Water Audit and Efficiency, Sustainable Sanitation including Reuse and Recycle, Water and Energy efficiency.
This distinction is a result of CSE's past efforts and initiatives on rainwater harvesting, decentralised wastewater management, community based water management, river pollution etc. Besides CSE, MoUD has identified few other reputed institutes from all over India to undertake research and other activities in the areas related to urban development (see JnNURM website).

Scientists have found that naturally occurring trans fats in milk and meat products obtained from ruminant animals like cows and buffaloes do not increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases the way industrial trans fats do.

Revolutionary All-Natural Concentration Process.
Revival is patented to naturally deliver approximately the same amount of soy isoflavones found in 6 cups of typical soy milk…in just one shake or bar. You see, to get the full benefits of soy isoflavones the average person would need up to 6 servings of soy milk per day. Chances are, drinking 6 cups of soy milk doesn't sound too appealing.
So how do we manage to include more isoflavones in our bars and shakes than other soy products? Put simply, we go to where the isoflavones are — the center of the soybean (called the "hypocotyl"). Isoflavones, acting as anti-oxidants, surround and protect the soybean's DNA right at its heart.
Our patented concentration process allows us to blend this isoflavone-rich portion with a separate protein-rich portion, yielding a final product that is rich in both soy protein and soy isoflavones. This combination provides the naturally-concentrated benefits of Revival Soy without the need for chemical concentration. Learn More
Doctors recommend it.
After all, it was invented by a doctor. A big reason medical experts respect Revival Soy is our commitment to ongoing medical research. Headed by Dr. Aaron Tabor, the Revival Soy team has spent years exploring the benefits of soy for a variety of health conditions, including increased energy and hot flash reduction.
Physicians often recommend our products to patients for a variety of reasons including menopause relief, heart health, energy, weight loss and improved hair/skin/nail health. We've heard wonderful success stories from customers who used our products to help them feel better, and we want to help you too. As an added bonus, every time you buy from us you are supporting our medical research so we can continue to offer the latest in health food.
About Our Research"Revival Soy products are nutritious, tasty alternatives to meat and have reduced some of the discomforts of menopause for my patients."
- Annette Luther, MD, Winston-Salem, NC
It doesn't taste like soy.
Most people are reluctant to include soy in their daily diet because traditionally soy products have a bland, chalky flavor. However, because of our relentless pursuit of taste-perfection, that tradition ends with Revival Soy. You see, when Dr. Tabor started Revival Soy to help his mother through menopause, he knew that taste would play an integral part in the products he created…
To create "Soy Without the Soy Taste"™ he can spend up to two years perfecting the taste, texture and consistency of every product and flavor. We refuse to put a product on the market until we are confident it has a taste that people will love. So forget what you know about soy milk or tofu… now you can look and feel better while enjoying the flavors you know and love like chocolate, peanut butter, strawberry and vanilla!
Great Taste Guarantee"Revival has a delicious taste. I have lost 15 lbs. I've recommended your product to everyone I know. I love the bars! Thank you so much for your wonderful product."
- Cindy S., Revival Customer
"When will I see results?"*
While some people experience quick results, others have to wait a little longer. The chart below provides typical time frames gathered from our general customer feedback and/or research. While these time periods are an average, in our opinion it is important to remember that everyone is different and individual results may vary.
Health Support Area* |
Possible Results In: |
Weight Loss | 1 week |
Hot Flash & Night Sweat Reduction | 4 to 12 weeks |
Heart Disease Risk Reduction | Long-Term Daily Use |
Younger-Looking Skin, Hair, & Nails | 3 to 6 Months |
For Best Results
Enjoy 1 Revival protein shake or protein bar per day with a good multivitamin. Use Revival's baked soy protein chips, soy pasta, soy nuts, & soy "coffee" to boost protein intake, decrease between-meal/late-night snacking, and to increase energy (protein is a good source of caloric energy). Regular daily consumption is important for achieving all of soy's potential benefits.

California Closets has been serving residents of Western New York for more than two decades, and has been owned and operated by the same family for the past 16 years. We are proud to say that we feel an obligation to our employees, their families, our customers, and our vendors -- and work hard to provide everyone with the excellence that they deserve.
Visit Our Depew Showroom
The showroom for residents of Amherst is conveniently located at 2914 Walden Avenue, Ste. 400, about 1.8 miles east of the Galleria Mall in Depew, NY.
We also attend the Buffalo Home Show; if you happen to be there, come check us out!
Years of Experience Making Customers Happy
Each member of the California Closets Amherst team has an average of 10 years experience with our company, and are comfortable working both with each other and with you to get you the custom storage solution you need. We have one of the best teams in the country!
In fact, we've worked with over 12,000 Western New York customers, deriving solutions for an array of spaces with unique challenges, backed by a lifetime commitment to service or modification as needed.
We're All About Being Local
California Closets sources its materials locally whenever possible, and all products are assembled in our production facility in Depew, NY. Since we manufacture so close to home, we are able to provide industry-defining lead times. Typically, our standard lead time from design completion to installation is under 2 weeks!
California Closets, Active in Your Community
California Closets of Western NY often has uses both of its showrooms in the Buffalo and Rochester area as venues for community events. We are very much involved with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure and other annual benefit events.
In addition, many of our associates coach hockey, basketball, baseball, and are involved in community affairs. For example, our Production Manager coaches hockey for the Central Amherst Little League.
No Project Too Big (or Too Small)
One of our biggest challenges was outfitting 8 dorms at Buffalo State College. Summer interns who were math majors were hired to map out installation procedures well in advance, to save approximately 40% on labor cost. The outcome was a thrilled client and an excellent profit, and the knowledge that the size of a project isn't an obstacle for a team as efficient and dedicated as ours.

New Ad: With Rehberg in Washington It's Open Season on Montana
The Montana Hunters and Anglers have a new ad up this week. The ad says "with Dennis Rehberg in Washington it's open season on Montana."
In the Lee Newspapers report on the ad, Rehberg tried to run from key provisions of his bill, H.R. 1505, which would hand over control of Montana land within 100 miles of the Canadian border to the Department of Homeland Security.
A Rehberg staffer tried to claim that Rehberg had added language to the bill to make sure that the Department couldn't restrict hunting. However, the bill specifically provides the authority to Homeland Security to close roads–which would obviously allow them to block hunters and anglers from Montana public lands.
Here's the ad:

Darpa's Self-Aiming "One Shot" Sniper Rifle Scheduled for Next Year
A sniper crouches near an open window and zooms in on his target, who sits a half-mile away. He peers through a scope and holds his breath, preparing to squeeze the trigger. But it's windy outside, and he can't afford a miss. What to do?
A new DARPA-funded electro-optical system will calculate the ballistics for him, telling him where to aim and ensuring a perfect shot, no matter the weather conditions.
Lockheed Martin won a $6.9 million contract this week for the second phase of DARPA's One-Shot system, which will provide direct observations of a target, measure every variable that influences a bullet's flight, and calculate the aim offset in a sniper's rifle scope.
During the project's first phase, which started in 2007, Lockheed developed a down-range system that measured average crosswind; range to target; spotter scope position; air temperature, pressure, and humidity; and more, according to Military Aerospace. Using all those variables, it calculated the ballistics for a .308 bullet at ranges as far as 3,600 feet.
While that's impressive, the system was too heavy and unwieldy, and it couldn't be used with standard rifle scopes. The phase two design will be more compact and able to operate in real time and over longer distances.
It will measure atmospheric conditions, account for the weapon's maximum effective range and include GPS coordinates. It's also supposed to communicate with the rifle scope, informing the gun itself of the aim point offset and expected crosswind.
Lockheed is supposed to deliver 15 field-testable prototypes by next October.

while the machanics of this may seems astounding to most in 97 i ets'd from a 3 years tour as a tank crewman in the us army, the M1A1 and many other vehicles in the army have had this ability for over a decade, more over they also had to calculate speed of the vehicle and the terrain that was being driven over to come up with a "firing solution".
the real jaw dropper is to intergrate in into a system that a troop could carry into action
@awjanua, I thins the "news" here is actually about the size of the unit (and hopefully smaller unit to come). Lets face it the first real application for computers in the military was to take on this problem (without the wind at that time), the idea if far from new.
Before the Abrams; "Complementing the 16"/50 caliber Mark 7 gun was a fire control computer, in this case the Ford Instrument Company Mark 8 Range Keeper. This analog computer was used to direct the fire from the battleship's big guns, taking into account several factors such as the speed of the targeted ship, the time it takes for a projectile to travel, and air resistance to the shells fired at a target." Aiming and computing go back a long ways, to WW2 Iowa Class Battleships. Later, we added radar to "Mark" targets. Microcircuitry and the new Remington upgrade for M-24; XM-2010, .300 Winchester Magnum will leave the "Bad Guys" with a little red hole between the eyes. On my 06, I still work with "windage and elevation". God Bless Texas.
* How does is handle complex/craggy cantons and paking garages, etc. ?
* Can it be duped by acoustic simulators ?
* What about non-standard loads and barrel lengths ?
* Who's to say the enemy is not using a "friendly make/model" rifle ?
* What about supressed and silened rifles and custom rigs?
How come DARPA hasn't invented a mini-sized FGM-148 Javelin type missile for sniping? It's range would be unlimited,and would work in any kind of weather conditions.Modern electronics should be able to fit in a cigar tube sized projectile.
I think it's a bit of a misnomer that this is a self aiming rifle. Sure it adjusts the aim point so you just put the crosshairs where you want to hit but the rest is still up to the rifleman making the shot. I mean if he jerks the trigger or the target suddenly ducks the bullet is still going to miss. Eventually the system could be modified to have servos and allow for the barell to move into position once locked on a target. However, you would still need target aquistion capabilities. The truly self aiming rifle is still a little off but this is one is getting close.
I always wondered if you could add a gyrosope to a rife to make it easier to hold steady #just wonderin'
This does have promise for inclusion in a stable platform system that allows a trained technition, rather than a trained rifleman make high difficulty shots (since, with a stable servo-style system, anyone with a labtop and some training could be an expert marksman - without lengthy training time or natural talent).
It also has promise for continually shifting targets in real time (moving targets at great range or unstable platform - like a helicopter or boat deck).
Putting it on a UAV, however, would be a whole new issue. Even the largest systems that would laugh at the weight would NOT laugh at the flight recoil that such a system would create. Your normal missile is a release then fire weapon.
That said, I wouldn't mind such a system on my civilian arms. Snipping bambi on the far side of the field from the comfort of my living room couch sounds pretty good.
I'm disappointed. I thought they already had a better version of this. Calculating an output based on a very small number of input variables (a dozen or so) should be no challenge for even one of our slightly obsolescent microprocessor chips. Some things would need lookup tables, like bullet drift at extreme ranges, but that ain't rocket science either - I remember reading a detailed analysis of the phenomenon in one of His Majesty's publications about the .303 cartridge dating from 1929.
multiple non-linear variables and the device can only gather information from a limited space, meaning it can't estimate what's going to happen. It also has to update the information with a high frequency otherwise it would be totally useless. I'm guessing these increase the required computing power hence the size of the module.
@jum1801 device just makes calculations it is still a human who pulls the trigger.
Yeah, but what happens when the slug gets there and just hits the wall behind the hologram of the military officer and it just goes right on being believed as it issues orders as if no try had been made at all? Would the kill still count? I sure hope not. Quality assurance in the high mass consumption society has really been suffering lately. My point is that this advance will not only be matched at the point of impact, but will also be fought by high, or low-tech methods designed to attack the way this will have to operate to be successful. It seems to me that the more powerful a sensory apparatus, the easier it would be to deceive.
Don't want to sound like a geek, but i played a game called sniper something something, that had something that sounds exactly like this system, a dot would appear in the sight indicating where to aim based on wind conditions etc. sounds like real life is a bit behind once again
The novel thing about this is it can measure all the wind between the rifle and the target. Given that wind can be going three different directions over the length of the shot this is supposed to sum the net effect and give that to the shooter. Currently marksman can measure the wind at their own position and then make an educated guess based upon what they can see.

Sustainability is a holistic, systems-based learning approach to living well today by employing business practices that enable future generations to live better tomorrow, said Lisa Clune, President of Kaplan EduNeering. The Kaplan EduNeering/Seventh Generation Sustainability Institute provides practical guidance and training for business practices that are responsive to the principles of sustainability and to the financial expectations of stakeholders.
There is now compelling evidence that sustainable companies enjoy a competitive advantage over organizations that continue to embrace an exclusive focus on short term profits, said Jeffrey Hollender, Executive Chairman of Seventh Generation. That business paradigm is now seen as counterproductive, not only for society and the natural world but also for company stakeholders. Organizations are beginning to understand that responsible corporate behavior has become a business imperative and that it will only become increasingly more important in the future.
Although recent studies confirm the belief among business professionals that environmental, social and governance activities create shareholder value and increase consumer loyalty, a study by MIT Sloan Management Review and Boston Consulting Group reports that only 30% of firms are implementing sustainability practices.
The Kaplan EduNeering/Seventh Generation Sustainability Institute provides:
– An online library of courses, including Sustainability 101,
Sustainable Supply Chain and Greenhouse Gas Management. Each of these modules addresses one of the essential business practices in an effective sustainability program. The Sustainability Institute courses are also a good primer for companies seeking distribution with Wal-Mart and that must adhere to Wal-Marts Sustainability Index. Kaplan EduNeering is a pioneer in online learning and has developed more than 4,000 custom courses and learning exercises for its clients and a library of 550 standardized compliance and regulatory courses.
– Ten video modules for ongoing sustainability learning, with topics ranging from Developing a Sustainability Mindset to Be Transparent. The video series includes five modules centered on sustainable business practices. Each of these modules addresses one of the essential business practices in an effective sustainability program. The videos feature Jeffrey Hollender, Seventh Generations co-founder and current Executive Chairman. As the companys Inspired Protagonist, Jeffrey has advised Fortune 500 companies and authored best-selling books including How to Make the World a Better Place: A Guide for Doing Good and What Matters Most – How a small group of pioneers are teaching social responsibility to big business – and why big business is listening. Jeffreys newest book, The Responsibility Revolution, is scheduled for publication in March 2010.
– An online toolkit called the Sustainability Communication Coach(SM) (SCC), which includes articles, brochures, mini-training modules, case studies and other resources to develop and sustain an ongoing, enterprise-wide sustainability communications program. The SCC is modeled after Kaplan EduNeerings widely used Ethics Communication Coach(SM), which now includes 2,000 tools and celebrates its ten-year anniversary in 2009.
– Optional services, including sustainability consulting, through Seventh Generations professional staff and an exam prep package for the LEEDv3 (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). A Green Associate certificate awarded by the Green Building Council can be provided by Kaplan AE Education.
The gap between recognizing the value of sustainability and achieving that value is costing businesses around the world billions of dollars in lost profits, said Lisa Clune. The Kaplan EduNeering/Seventh Generation Sustainability Institute provides the broad resources to help companies understand and achieve the tangible benefits of sustainable business practices.

OSU Veterinary Center looking for Newly Diagnosed Diabetic Cats |
(May 13, 2009 Stillwater, OK) – Do you have a newly diagnosed diabetic cat? Jill D. Brunker, DVM, Diplomate ACVIM, Small Animal Internal Medicine, at Oklahoma State University's (OSU) Center for Veterinary Health Sciences, is looking for up to 16 newly diagnosed diabetic cats for a clinical trial using a human drug. To qualify for the study, cats must be naïve diabetics and cannot have been treated with any diabetic management modalities. This novel drug was approved by the FDA for type 2 diabetes therapy in humans and is proving to be a safe and effective treatment. Diabetic cats are very similar to people with type 2 diabetes, and this investigational drug could prove to be equally valuable in the cats' treatment. ### |

Neuville dropped out of the FIA World Rally Championship after burning his fingers as he battled to get his Qatar World Rally Team Citroen DS3 WRC back onto its wheels following his half roll on the third stage of the gravel event.
"I was crying after the stage because I was in a lot of pain, I couldn't believe the pain," said Neuville. "My co-driver Nicolas [Gilsoul] did the road section and I was next to him putting my fingers in a bottle of water to cool them down. Maybe it will be difficult for tomorrow but the doctors have done some good work already so I will be able to manage to drive."
Neuville confirmed a loss of oil caused by his car lying on its side for some five minutes was the actual reason why he withdrew ahead of stage four but added the pain he endured had been worth it.
"It was only me, Nicolas and two marshals pushing and pulling on the car," Neuville explained. "The wheel rim was very warm but I couldn't let go if I wanted to continue. In the end we decided with the team together that to be sure to drive on Saturday and Sunday we should stop and that's what we did."

OK, you found the problem SQL statement that was affecting your server's performance, now where did it originate?
The new MySQL Enterprise Plugins for Connector/J and Connector/NET send query statistics, including the source location for each query, directly to the MySQL Enterprise Monitor.
Figure 1 is a screenshot of new source location feature.
Figure 2 shows the standard query statistics, which are collected in the query analyzer. In both cases, the statistics are gathered by the MySQL Connector and the Plugin, not MySQL proxy.
If you're a MySQL Enterprise customer, you can download the new monitor and plugins from customer.mysql.com. If you'd like to try it out, a 30 day trial is available at http://www.mysql.com/trials/
Please review the help file and readme for full instructions, but here are a few of the highlights for setting up monitoring for Java applications. (I'll provide further instructions for .NET in a future post.)
1. Set up the MySQL Enterprise Monitor and Agent. The agent resides on the MySQL production server and the monitor should reside on a non-production server within your environment. Although the Plugin gathers the query statistics, the agent needs to run and connect to the monitor at least once so the Monitor can associate the data with the appropriate server.
2. Download the following files from the customer portal (customer.mysql.com) and add them to your classpath:
- Connector/J version 5.1.12 or newer
- Plugin for Connector/J c-java-mysql-enterprise-plugin-220.127.116.11.jar
3. Change your JDBC url. In my case, I changed it from the standard JDBC url, "jdbc:mysql:127.0.0.1:3306/sakila , to
"jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/sakila?statementInterceptors=com.mysql.etools.jdbc.StatementPerformanceCounters& amp;serviceManagerUrl=http://[mymonitorURL.com]&serviceManagerUser=[myagentusername]& serviceManagerPassword=[myagentpassword]l";
Full instructions are in the readme. Substitute appropriate URL and credentials for the bracketed [ ] items above.
4. Finally, the mysql user account that is used by the application needs to have SELECT privilege to the mysql.inventory table. This table includes a unique identifier which the monitor uses to match the data with the MySQL instance. I executed the following:
mysql> GRANT SELECT ON mysql.inventory TO 'elgato'@'%';
I found it helpful to monitor the application log file for error messages. The readme includes additional logging information. In my tomcat test application, the log information was sent to /var/logs/tomcat6/daemon.log file.
I hope this is helpful information. If you have any issues, feel free to post a comment on this blog post or post on the forums: http://forums.mysql.com/list.php?166

2008 Aflac All American Game Notes - Day 2
Perfect Game Staff
Thursday, August 07, 2008
Los Angeles, CA
Aug 7
Day II Aflac All American Game
Over the past five years the day before game day the players participate in a scrimmage. Once in awhile something out of the ordinary happens during these scrimmages. Last year, Aflac East 3B Ethan Martin was sent to the mound. We had seen Ethan pitch before and knew that he had some serious arm strength. Well, he pitched in that scrimmage, but he was extremely wild. He did throw up to 94, but really looked much more like the position prospect/hitter that he was at that time. What was most interesting was when we later found out that Ethan was pitching with a broken thumb on his throwing hand. When we asked Ethan why he agreed to pitch, he simply said, "you asked me to pitch so I did". Those few words spoke volumes about Ethan Martin and this June he became the Dodgers first round pick… as a pitcher!
This year's scrimmage was dominated early on by the pitching. Here are some of the highlights from that game.
West Team
Scott Griggs (CA) threw in the low 90s and breazed through his inning, showing a good 3 pitch mix.
Brooks Pounders (CA) gave up a leadoff walk and then retired the next three hitters, throwing 91 mph.
Matt Davidson 3B prospect (CA), pitched 1.2 innings in the upper 80s.
Jiovanni Mier SS prospect (CA) threw two effective innings mixing an 89 mph fastball and excellent changeup.
The West hitters were either hitless or got one infield hit, by Max Stassi (CA) depending on whose score sheet you went by.
Several of the top pitching prospects in the country are on the west roster, but most did not throw in the scrimmage. That includes, Matt Purke (TX), Jacob Turner (MO) and Tyler Matzek (CA). All had thrown recently and were rested for Saturdays game.
East Team
We mentioned it might have been a no hitter by the seven East Pitchers.
Michael Heller (FL) retired the West in order with a low 90s fastball and a good breaking ball.
Chris Jenkins (NJ) walked the leadoff hitter and then retired the next three. He was up to 93 and consistently threw in the 90s.
Ethan Carter (VA) didn't show his best velocity, but struckout one while retiring the East in order.
Daniel Tuttle (NC) walked one and struckout two in his inning. He was up to 91 and showed a very sharp breaking ball.
Keyvius Sampson (FL) didn't reach his best velocity but still threw 90-91 with an outstanding changeup and good breaking ball, striking out two in a perfect inning.
Michael Givens (FL) showed a 92-94 fastball with life in his inning of work.
Austin Maddox (FL) threw 90 in the last inning.
All these guys figure to throw harder on Saturday's nationally televised game.
The East won the scrimmage 7-1 by scoring all seven runs in the third inning.
Jason Thompson (TN), Givens, Brian Goodwin (NC), Richie Shaffer (NC), Maddox and Donavan Tate (GA) all had one hit each for the East team.
Note: Hometown Aflac All American Beau Wright a very talented LHP was hit in the head with a line drive the day before Aflac players reported. He spent a day in the hospital and was told not to play for a couple weeks. After being released from the hospital, Beau headed right to Aflac practice and then went with the teams to visit the Children's Hospital in LA. One day a patient, the next day spending time to visit some very ill kids and trying to brighten their day. Beau can't play in the game, but he is a true Aflac All American in every way!
The Aflac players went to visit Universal Studios after practice today, while we watched some of the countries best underclassmen perform at the PG Aflac Showcase in the afternoon. More on that group later on.
Tomorrow includes working out and the first round of the Home Run Derby. Then tomorrow evening the Aflac Awards banquet takes place. The banquet only falls behind the game in interest and in some cases it is even more important than the game itself. The Jackie Robinson Award representing the top high school baseball player in America is presented at the banquet.
After tomorrow's HR Derby there will be a scouts and college coaches reception and lunch at USC. Wonder what is in the gift bags this year? We usually get our hands on one, some how.
Then the PG Aflac group of top underclassmen will play their game in the afternoon.

I was thinking of creating an RP with a fair few elements from the anime Wolf's Rain; where wolves are rumored to be extinct, but are hiding within plain sight in the guise of humans. If anyone is interested, or have any ideas they would wish to share, I'm all ears (well, eyes really, haha). I was thinking of making this one casual to high-casual.
The OOC can now be found here.

As you all know his ultimate is the channeling blizzard ability, After playing glacius 4-5 times I have had good ultimate and bad ultimates. For clarification a bad ultimate is when you ultimate an enemy at melee range while hes imprisoned and you dont get any procs of dmg, I just watch glacius spin while the enemy hero takes no dmg. And I've had good ultimate where in the same scenario where I have an enemy in an melee imprisonment where I get 5-6 procs of dmg destroying the enemy hero. I feel that the only hero that should deal with luck is heroes with crit / evasion and blacksmith. Why should such a stable and fragile hero like glacius have to worry about getting procs on an ultimate when hes easily the squishiest hero of all.
So what I propose is what you switch how his ultimate works.
I think it would be awesome if at the start of his ultimate, It would start at the base of glacius, and rotate outward circularly spinning like a trail until it reached the the max range and it would start back over at the base of glacius
just imagine a spiral pretty much. I would usually offer pics but im on a mac atm >_>
The main issue is that right now there are sometimes chances where you can drop an ult and it'll kill someone nearly instantly because you'll land like 5 hits within like 1.5 seconds. If you made it anything different it would just always be mediocre damage...meh, no fun.
Viable, the speed of the spiral etc is discussable. But im still not fond of his low hp and one of the most risky ultimates in the game, compared to the RNG is offers.
S2, Dec 13th:
"We will never allow players to gain an ingame advantage for money, ONLY COSMETICS"
S2, July 29th
"Players will be able to PURCHASE early access to new heroes to play them before they are released for free to the rest of the legacy players."
glacs ulti could be made to something dot-like comparable to devo's in aoe
it would also help his role of "leaving the kill to the carry" since enemys whos hp bars go down slowly r easier to lasthit

PEMBROKE - Five Lumbee Supreme Court justices said they will render a decision within a week on whether the Tribal Council can, under the tribal constitution, create a tribally designated housing entity.
The justices were unable to reach a decision on the matter after a more than four-hour hearing Tuesday night.
The hearing was prompted by the protests of Tribal Chairman Paul Brooks, who called the council's efforts an act of treason and unconstitutional.
"This is an attempt to overthrow this government," Ed Brooks, a lawyer representing the tribal chairman, said in his closing argument.
The Tribal Council voted in November, and again this month, to hire Brian Pierson, a Wisconsin lawyer with expertise in Indian housing, to Pembroke to consult on the establishment of a tribally designated housing entity, which would take control of the housing department from the administration.
The 12-8 vote, which was reaffirmed Thursday, reflected the council members' dissension on the issue, however.
Ed Brooks said it's a case of "the separation of powers."
Through four witnesses, he claimed that all executive powers, including that of implementing a budget, lay with the tribal chairman, and that the establishment of a tribally designated housing entity would wrest that constitutional power from the chairman.
The council has been unable to pass a budget for fiscal 2013, which was supposed to have been in place by Oct. 1.
Mark Brooks, the lawyer for the council, did not introduce any evidence. Through cross-examination, however, he alleged that the council's constitutional power to enact a budget gives it the authority to allocate money for the designation of a housing entity.
Both sides agree that a tribally designated housing entity is an allowable activity, according to Department of Housing and Urban Development guidelines. The tribe gets nearly $13 million annually from HUD to administer the housing programs.
The council has been discussing creating a tribally designated housing entity, an independent board that would take control of housing programs from the tribal administration, since November. Although most of the 21-member council is united in its frustration with how the administration is running the housing programs, many council members remain skeptical that a housing entity is the way to go.
