PEORIA (AP) -- Diamondbacks closer J.J. Putz made his spring training debut on Friday, allowing a solo home run in an inning during Arizona's 8-5 win over the Seattle Mariners.
Five players homered at Peoria Sports Complex: Chris Young, Ryan Roberts, Aaron Hill and Rusty Ryal for Arizona and Carlos Peguero for the Mariners.
Mariners left-hander Jason Vargas, who is slated to be their No. 2 starter, allowed five runs in four innings. He struck out four and walked one.
Roberts hit a three-run home run -- his third of the spring -- off Vargas in the fourth inning. Hill hit a solo home run off Vargas in the first.
Peguero hit his third home run of the spring, a solo shot off Putz in the fourth. Young also hit a solo home run, his second of the spring.

Apple eases App Store in-app subscription rules
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has quietly updated its App Store Subscriptions guidelines, eliminating the requirement that mandated publishers offer iOS content and services at the "same price or less than [they are] offered outside the app." MacRumors reports that Apple has removed all pricing guidelines in conjunction with the update, giving content providers the freedom to offer in-app subscriptions at any price they wish--the computing giant also expunged a rule dictating that external subscriptions must be also offered as an in-app purchase, with Apple sharing in the resulting revenues.
"Apps can read or play approved content (specifically magazines, newspapers, books, audio, music, and video) that is subscribed to or purchased outside of the app, as long as there is no button or external link in the app to purchase the approved content," reads section 11.14 of the revised App Store Subscriptions agreement. "Apple will not receive any portion of the revenues for approved content that is subscribed to or purchased outside of the app."
MacRumors notes that the new guidelines appear to indicate that digital media service providers like Netflix, Hulu and Rhapsody should be able to offer iOS applications without incorporating in-app purchase mechanisms. In addition, it appears content providers could offer in-app subscriptions with a premium designed to cover Apple's 30 percent cut of all revenues.
Apple introduced the App Store subscription platform in mid-February. Publishers immediately expressed serious reservations over the terms of the service, which awarded Apple 30 percent of subscription revenues, as well as ownership of consumer data like names and email addresses. Some smaller developers even scrapped their iOS application plans.
"Our philosophy is simple--when Apple brings a new subscriber to the app, Apple earns a 30 percent share; when the publisher brings an existing or new subscriber to the app, the publisher keeps 100 percent and Apple earns nothing," Apple CEO Steve Jobs said in a February statement. "All we require is that, if a publisher is making a subscription offer outside of the app, the same (or better) offer be made inside the app, so that customers can easily subscribe with one-click right in the app. We believe that this innovative subscription service will provide publishers with a brand new opportunity to expand digital access to their content onto the iPad, iPod touch and iPhone, delighting both new and existing subscribers."
Apple's revised rules still appear to pose significant challenges for companies like Amazon.com. The online retailer's Kindle e-book application for iOS includes a Kindle Store button that transports the user directly to its web storefront, and the revised App Store Subscription guidelines explicitly block buttons and external links of this type.

Click here for an ACHA webinar on this topic.
Click here for a printable version of this information.
The septum is the wall that separates the left and right sides of the heart. If there is a hole in the wall between the two ventricles, it is called a ventricular septal defect (VSD).
How common are VSDs?
VSD is the most common heart birth defect. It can occur alone or with other congenital heart defects (CHD). About 1 in 500 babies are born with a VSD. About 20%-30% of all heart defects are isolated VSDs. They vary in location, symptoms, other defects, and history.
What other heart problems can occur with a VSD?
Some people born with VSDs have other heart defects, such as leaking or narrowing heart valves. A VSD can also be a part of other more complex heart defects, like tetralogy of Fallot. If you have a more complex defect in addition to VSD, the more complex defect is your primary diagnosis.
How do VSDs develop?
In the womb the heart starts out as a single tube. As this tube loops, the two bottom tubes lie side-by-side and a wall (septum) develops to complete the division of the heart into left and right sides. The right side pumps blood to the lungs, and the left side pumps blood to the body. Sometimes this wall does not grow completely and a hole remains.
What causes a VSD to develop?
No one knows exactly why a VSD forms. Genes and environment may be a factor. As we learn more about human DNA, we may understand more about what causes this heart defect. A VSD is common in children with other genetic problems, such as Down syndrome.
How is a VSD diagnosed?
Most ventricular septal defects are found shortly after birth. By listening to your heart, a doctor can usually hear the rumble of blood as it goes through the hole. This is called a murmur. Sometimes you can even feel the rumble by putting a hand on your chest. This is called a thrill. Some VSDs are not found until later in childhood or adulthood. Tests to confirm the presence and effect of a VSD may include:
If I have a VSD, can I have children?
Most women with a small or repaired VSD will do well during pregnancy, but there is a small risk of heart-related problems. If you have been told you have a VSD, repaired or not, you should see an adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) doctor before getting pregnant.
If you have a larger unclosed VSD, and/or additional heart or lung problems, you should get care by experts in heart defects and pregnancy. If you have pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in your lungs) or Eisenmenger's Syndrome (low blood oxygen levels), most ACHD doctors say that you should not become pregnant. In one study, up to 50% of mothers in this situation did not survive.
If I have a VSD, do my children have a higher risk of having a heart defect?
All adults with congenital heart defects are more likely than the general population to have a child with a heart defect. The defects may be the same or different than the parent's defect. As we learn more about what causes CHD, we may find that each individual's risk is higher or lower.
What are the long-term outcomes for adults with unrepaired VSD?
Many small VSDs never require treatment. Women with large VSDs that were not closed at a young age have a high risk of developing other heart, lung, and blood problems. These would include high blood pressure in the lungs and low blood oxygen levels. If this happens, VSD closure may no longer be an option.
What health problems are caused by a VSD?
If the hole between the two sides is too big, blood will go from the left side of the heart into the right side. This means that extra blood is pumped to the lungs, making the heart and lungs work harder. This can cause high blood pressure in the lungs, which over time may lead to permanent damage in the lung's blood vessels. Increased blood flow in the heart may also lead to heart failure.
Do all VSDs cause health problems?
No, some children and adults have a small VSD that does not affect the way the heart works. Instead of closing these VSDs, doctors may watch the heart closely to make sure that treatment does not become necessary. If you have a VSD, it is important that you see an ACHD doctor as recommended to make sure your heart stays healthy.
Are there limits on how much those with VSD can exercise?
People with a small or repaired VSD and no other problems usually have no exercise limits. It is important for anyone born with a heart defect to ask their ACHD doctor before taking on any new physical activity.
If you have other problems, such as a heartbeat that is too fast, too slow or not regular, high blood pressure in your lungs, low blood oxygen levels and/or valve problems, you should ask your ACHD doctor about what kind of exercise is right for you.
When and how was VSD surgery first performed?
VSDs were one of the first heart defects to be repaired. The first surgery to close a VSD was done in 1954. Some children who had an early repair are still alive today. Over the years, VSDs have been closed using different materials and approaches. How your VSD was closed may affect your long-term health.
How are VSDs treated now?
Most VSDs are closed by placing a patch or plug into the hole during open heart surgery. Some clinical trials are using a catheter to put the patch or plug into the hole. A catheter is a long, thin tube that the doctor guides into the heart through a blood vessel.
What are the long-term outcomes for adults with repaired VSD?
The oldest survivors of VSD closure are now in their fifties and sixties—or older if operated on as adults. We do not know what the lifelong impact of VSD closure is nor do we know how long people with repaired VSDs will live. If surgery was done early, before serious heart and lung problems developed, the outlook is excellent. Adults with closed VSDs are expected to have a normal lifespan. A small number have needed re-operation. The most common reason was to close small leaks around the original patch.
Even if you have a repaired VSD you do not have a "normal" heart. Everyone born with a VSD has a lifelong risk of other heart problems. Some can occur many years after the original repair. One risk is endocarditis, or infection of the lining of the heart and the valves. It is very important that you ask your ACHD heart doctor about how to protect yourself from endocarditis. People with a repaired VSD can also develop a slow, fast or irregular heartbeat. This is sometimes caused by scars in your heart created by your previous surgery. Other possible problems include valve problems, stroke and heart failure.
What kind of heart care is recommended for adults with repaired and unrepaired VSD?
Experts recommend that all adults with CHD be seen once at an ACHD center to make sure that the diagnosis is correct and the repair is still working. Patients who have a small unrepaired VSD are still at risk of developing narrowing under the aortic or pulmonary valves, leaking of the aortic valve, or an infection of the lining of the heart and valves.
If you have other heart defects or complex CHD, regular care by a specialized ACHD clinic is recommended. This is also true if you have problems with lung or heart function. If you have high blood pressure in your lungs or low blood oxygen levels, you should also receive regular care at a specialized ACHD clinic. It is important that you see doctors who know about your special needs and can help keep you feeling your best.

Attorney General Eric Holder's mother died last month at the age of 86.
A memorial service for family will be held this weekend, according to Politico's Playbook.
Miriam Y. Holder, the daughter of Barbadian immigrants, grew up in New Jersey and later married Eric Himpton Holder Sr. The couple lived in New York, first in the Bronx where Eric was born, and later East Elmhurst in Queens.
She is survived by two sons — Eric and William Holder.
In a 2008 interview with The Nation newspaper in Barbados, Miriam said she was very proud of her son's nomination to be the first African-American Attorney General.
"Our son Eric is a well-grounded person, fair in all that he does, will sit and listen and he makes decisions based on fairness. He has always been a person mature beyond his years," she told the newspaper. "He will do an outstanding job as the first black attorney general."

This is my 1964 Gravely L-8 Super with the Rotary Cultivator Attachment that i just got working if you have questions please comment
Video Rating: 5 / 5
You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
@sports22k It depends on which way you have the cultivator gearbox facing. with mine the tines are rotating forward and the tractor is going forward so i does not put much strain on the machine at all. its a lot less strain then breaking ground with it set up as a regular rotary plow. Plus gravelys are bullet-proof the love stress!
just for future use its easier if you go in reverse and less stress on the machine
Yah usually they are pretty beat up but that one was in good shape
Nice video on the cultivator! There aren't to many videos of thoes on here. Looks like it's in great shape too!

Cavs vs Nuggets Behind the Box Score: One Step Back
Denver Nuggets (3-7) 106 Cleveland Cavaliers (5-4) 97 [Box Score] What a dull game. The Cavaliers felt like they were sleepwalking through most of this game.

It's time for this losing streak to stop. The Cleveland Cavaliers (13-23, 10th in the East) head west to take on the Denver Nuggets (22-17, 7th in the East). Denver is a really solid team.

Milwaukee def. Butler 25-23, 25-15, 25-14
MILWAUKEE, Wis. - Milwaukee hit .317 as a team and took advantage of some Bulldog breakdowns as the Butler volleyball team lost, 3-0, Friday night in Milwaukee's Klotsche Center. Butler will host North Dakota State Monday night at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
The Bulldogs were returning to Milwaukee for the first time since capturing the 2010 Horizon League Championship there last November. Milwaukee is the defending regular season league champ.
Sophomore Maggie Harbison and freshman Kelly Kyle led the Bulldogs. Harbison had six kills on .333 hitting, two aces and two blocks. Kyle had a team-high nine kills and five digs.
The Bulldogs cited serving as a strong point on the night, but they made too many errors to keep with the Panthers (10-4, 3-0).
"We knew the players we wanted to target with our serving," head coach Sharon Clark said. "We served aggressively and tough. But we just made too many unforced errors to beat a really good Milwaukee team."
UWM's Kerri Schuh, the 2010 Horizon League Player of the Year, had 12 kills, seven digs and four assists. Kayla Price handed out 37 assists and Melissa Jansen had 10 kills on .320 hitting.
Butler's match vs. North Dakota State is the team's final non-conference match of the season. The Bulldogs (5-9, 1-2) are hosting Monday Madness, with student organizations competing for prizes. Freshmen Christina Saenger, Belle Obert and Stephanie Kranda will be signing autographs after the match.

Five members of a small Khajiit family have decided they're no longer interested in the roving life, so they have settled permanently in villages throughout Skyrim. They figure with all the upheaval of recent times, they're safer near towns instead of wandering. And besides, there are all those soldiers and adventurers tromping around lately....
Each of them has different crafting amenities available for you to use. Each of them will buy practically anything -- You know how Khajiit are, they can turn a profit on almost anything, so they're willing to help you out. They have quite a bit more cash than your average merchant, and they're not going to inquire too closely as to where you acquired a given item.
Their shops are marked on the map, and the adventurer in a hurry can fast-travel to them.

Would you trust this frame adaptor to hold your bike?
Would you trust this frame adaptor to hold your bike?
Those things always looked a bit sketchy to me, and most of the ones that I have seen in use, the bike was swinging wildly on the back of the car. Perhaps they weren't being used correctly.
I have never used one, don't have a frame that would require it
05 Giant NRS 22.5in
03 Giant Iguana Disk, 23in
Evergreen Co.
"All I need is.......two wheels and the truth."
A ladies frame goes on a rack without that, you just put it on differently.
They work just fine.
Even when attached to a 42 pound bike.
Have one just like that, works like a charm. Because I'm paranoid, I use a bungee cord along the shaft and around the hooks to provide tension and make sure it doesn't open up - but pretty positive that it wouldn't even without those.
Holds the SC just fine even at fairly high rates of speed...
Road or mountain? Road or mountain? Road or mountain?
ya i use one of thoes too. not the same company but same idea. it works fine for me and my bike weighs a little more then 48 pounds. if you really parinoid or want to save some money you could fab one like one of my buddies did.

We like Caribou. This site endorses the great work of Dan Snaith, who is Manitoba or Caribou, depending on what year it is. His newest album, Swim, is by far one of our favorites of the year. T Magazine did a little interview with Mr Dan Snaith, and they talked about math and music. Homeboy has Ph.D in math, by the way.
We like this exchange:
Is it true you have a Ph.D. in mathematics?
Yes, while making two albums and touring — I don't remember how I did it.
Do mathematics help with making music?
What's interesting are the more emotive, unpredictable elements of music. Mathematics eventually become abstract and creative too, but it's very mysterious as to why we like certain kinds of music.

Anyway, thanks for the all the help. I have left the DNS as it was in my last post, changed the hostname to be on the base domain without the 2 subdomain nested, removed the public IP, and removed and reinstalled Zimbra. All is working well now.
If anyone else runs into an issue with 0.0.0.0/0 being a trusted network, it is a default setting because I had my public IP an on interface with a /32 address. Personally, I think it should be ignored as an exception, as making postfix is open relay is never want you intend to do, and shouldn't be default, but 0.0.0.0/0 was a network I was joined to (because of the /32 IP).

Regional powers discuss Syrian crisis

September 18, 2012

Regional powers have met to discuss the crisis in Syria.
The so-called "contact group" brings together Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt – who are all demanding that President Bashar Assad step down – as well as Iran, which backs him.
They met in Cairo on September 17 to discuss ways to end the crisis.
For unclear reasons, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal, however, did not attend and no one was sent in his place.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr said the contact group had decided to meet again in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said the four states have a "big role" to play in Syria.
"For us to expect a speedy resolution in this meeting is not realistic. We need to be patient," Salehi said. "However, I assure you that the cooperation outweighs the differences and all confirm the need to find a peaceful solution and specifically the influential countries in the region – Egypt, Turkey, and Iran and Saudi Arabia – they have a large role and can bring forward suggestions that in the end, God willing, will bring a result that will make everyone happy."
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu spoke of the need for "regional ownership of the issues of our region."
"What we observed today [is] that there are certain principles we agree, but there are certain differences of opinion as you may expect," Davutoglu said. "And we also have the ultimate objective to have a strong Syria after this process, based on the legitimate rights and demands of the Syrian people and how to achieve these goals.
"We will continue to discuss – nobody should expect from one meeting an immediate action plan which we agree upon and could be presented to others," he continued. "But [what is] important is regional ownership and regional initiative that we decided together."
Analysts, however, are doubtful of the group's chances of success given the distrust between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
Analysts say Egyptian President Muhammad Morsi spearheaded efforts to form the group in hopes of bolstering Egypt's role as a regional powerbroker.
Meanwhile, the violence shows no sign of letting up inside Syria.
Syrian activists say nearly 5,000 people were killed in August, the highest monthly total since the crisis began in March 2011, bringing the overall death toll from the conflict to some 23,000.
Brahimi Meets Refugees
In related news, Lakhdar Brahimi, the UN-Arab League envoy on the Syrian crisis, met on September 18 with representatives of Syrian refugees who are sheltering in a camp near the Turkish border city of Hatay.
It was Brahimi's first contact with Syrian refugees since taking over as international envoy from former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan earlier this month.
Some 1,300 Syrians are in the Altinozu camp, while an estimated 250,000 Syrians have fled the violence that has raged in their homeland for 18 months.
Brahimi also met with local officials to discuss the refugee issue.
Turkey is hosting about 83,000 registered refugees.
Ankara has called for the establishment of "safe zones" within Syria for displaced civilians.
Brahimi's visit to Turkey comes after his first meeting with embattled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on September 15.

Over the last several years, the Hampton Roads Youth Foundation have been exploring ways to create durable gains that measurably improve the lives of youth throughout the Hampton Roads area.
We believe that young people have contributions to make long before adulthood, but they remain an underutilized resource in our communities. They want to be trained as role models and learn the tools that will allow them to someday be productive citizens. The programs we develop will address the issues young people face in becoming positive people. Given the complexities young people face in today's society, the Hampton Roads Youth Foundation will discover ways to assist youth with making the right decisions in preparing for life.

Zerofootprint Re-Skinning Awards 2011 Winners and Finalists
The John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design at the University of Toronto and the cleantech software and services company Zerofootprint have announced the winners of the 2011 Zerofootprint Re-Skinning Awards, honoring green building projects from around the world and showcasing newly evolving re-skinning design technologies.
Winners were chosen by a jury of experts in architecture, design, and engineering: Canadian architect John Patkau, Architecture 2030 Challenge founder Edward Mazria, energy efficient building design expert Thomas Auer, Front Inc. founding partner Michael Ra, Yale architecture professor Michelle Addington, and UCLA architecture professor and founding director of CityLAB Dana Cuff. Zerofootprint founder and CEO Ron Dembo made the announcement last week at the U.S. Green Building Council's Greenbuild International Conference and Expo.
The purpose of the competition, said Zerofootprint, is to jump-start the discussion about how we might retrofit entire cities, improving our older, existing stock of buildings to fight climate change. "Re-skinning will become the most important design task for the next decades, if we want to seriously reduce our greenhouse gas emissions," said juror Thomas Auer.
Winners and finalists are listed below with links to the projects:
Best Overall Project & Best Residential
- The Palms, a house in Venice, California designed by Daly Genik Architects, won this year's top prize. The most notable feature of The Palms is a sheer white exoskeleton made from locally sourced recycled steel, which transformed the look of the house and expanded the outdoor living space without increasing the site's footprint.
Institutional Category
- Winner – HKW Building, RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, Germany (iParch, Imagine Envelope Façade Consulting)
- Finalist – Centre for Justice Leadership, Humber College, Toronto, Canada (Gow Hasting Architects)

At first glance, it looks as if a strange cult has descended on the streets of Madrid.
In the circle, we all work very hard, and we all learn to respect each other.
Figures in white are formed in a circle, singing tribal songs accompanied by drumbeats and exotic instruments. Inside the circle, two players are engaged in a fierce fight – or not exactly, as it also resembles a graceful dance. It's a human expression of yin-and-yang, a dialogue of kicks and evasions, punctuated by headstands and gravity-defying acrobatics. This is Capoeira, Brazil's unique martial art.
Although it arguably puts an emphasis on "art" today, Capoeira's history is a long and brutal one. It traces its roots back to the 16th century, when slaves from West Africa were imported by Portuguese colonizers to work in the sugarcane plantations of Brazil. Under harsh and inhumane conditions, the slaves developed their own fighting style, disguised as a dance in front of their masters so as to avoid punishment.That musical aspect has survived to present day Capoeira, lending it that unique dimension that sets it apart from the other martial arts. Players spar to songs of freedom, love of nature and victorious battles.
Capoeira's global popularity has grown in the past decade and in Madrid these days you can catch Capoeira Nagô on Sundays in Plaza del Sol and in Parque Retiro during the summer months from June to early September. Capoeira Nagô, based in Goiânia in Brazil, has chapters all over Spain, as well as in Rome, London, Malta, New York and all over Latin America.
Profesor Chicao leads the Nagô Madrid branch, with over 20 years of training under his purple belt. He arrived in Spain in 2005, and has been giving classes almost every day in Madrid, describing his life as "living Capoeira each day." His feisty assembly includes students from all over the world.
Back in Brazil, he taught Capoeira in poor barrios to help educate and rehabilitate the youth, and to give them a life away from violence and marginality in society. Here in Europe, the needs are visibly different, and yet Capoeira is just as transformative, capturing people's interest in different ways.
"Different people are interested in different parts. Some like the fighting or martial arts, some the exhibition part, some like the music and the instruments. So Capoeira wakes a different curiosity in each person. That's what makes me proud also as a teacher, to see how people here take interest in Capoeira in spite of the different needs. That's my own pago mensual," shares Chicao.
Now comes the inevitable question – can anyone learn Capoeira? Including us slow-moving mammals whose main sports include bar-hopping and marathon siesta?
"Capoeira is a fight, a dance, an art that requires a lot of training. People who don't know anything about it see it as something very difficult," he says. "True, the physical training is hard, but you can come to train slowly, respecting and knowing the limitations of your body. I have students who are 3 years old and 60 years old. It's about respecting the physical potential of each one."
And then there is another aspect of Capoeira that goes beyond the physical to something deeper, the philosophy of "Axé", akin to The Force if you will. The belief of shared energies, that everyone in the circle is connected, from the person doing the awesome somersaults to the one singing and clapping in the circle.
"In Capoeira, you learn respect for everyone," shares Chicao. "I have classes of doctors, lawyers, immigrants. Outside we all lead different normal lives. In the circle, we all work very hard, and we all learn to respect each other."

I did not see the incident, so I cannot judge, but if Hulkenberg got penalized he sure had some blame to it.
With that said, it is sad to see Lewis depart, without a doubt the fastest guy out there, extremely unlucky this season, never been a huge fan of him but this season he drove really well and seemed to have mature a great deal, I wish him well in Mercedez since it will only add up to the spectacle to come next season.
Even the Argentinian commentators that do the races for Latin American Fox pointed out what a changed man Lewis' been this season.
I can only hope next year will be like this or even better. 2013 Alonso or Hamilton WDC, I'm OK with either one.

Any hopes of a better and brighter 2013 seems to be fast evaporating. Management commentary from leading and even mid-tier software firms have not been encouraging, pointing towards a very muted phase of growth in the IT sector next year.
The cascading effect was set off by Cognizant, the US headquartered IT major with a substantial Indian presence. In a SEC filing the Nasdaq-listed firm said it will pay top executives a 100% performance linked stock options if its revenues touched the $8.51 billion mark in 2013. However, a back-of-the-envelope calculation revealed that this would result in a growth of only 16%, much below its expected growth of 20% this year.
This was indeed surprising because Cognizant was one company that was zooming off on a fast lane, leaving most Indian IT firms behind. The news of Cognizant taking a conservative stance surprised the industry and a few alarm bells rang.
This was soon followed by statements from the Infosys top management about the need to drive down estimated revenue projections. During discussions with analysts recently, Infosys said the company may miss its organic growth guidance of 5% for the current year because of delays in decision-making by certain key customers and ramp-downs in certain projects. Then it also mentioned something uniquethe impact of Hurricane Sandy.
Barclays has projected a 3.8% revenue growth for Infosys this fiscal and thats bad news for investors. The guidance however does not take into account, revenues generated out of Lodestone, the Swiss firm that Infosys acquired in September.
Infosys had initially guided for a 8-10% revenue rise for FY13. But after the first quarter results, it lowered it to 5%. The call was then taken to abolish the practice of giving out quarterly forecasts. But just when one thought that was the end of it, in came another surprise in the way of the investor call while forecast further doom. A note from UBS said Infosys management remarked that the guidance was under threat due to delayed customer decisions and that the crisis was especially deep in the manufacturing sector. Now, only Infosys can probably explain why the crisis is so acute at the Bangalore company. While the management has tried to throw more light on the issue in many ways, the fact that it had to drive the guidance downwards twice in the same year does not augur well.
The wave has percolated down to the mid-sized

Research shows that missing meals can actually lead to an over-compensation and increased food consumption at the next meal. The result can be a gain, not loss in weight. Not only that, when a meal is missed, the body makes up for lost energy by conserving what you have already eaten and slowing up your metabolism.

Jesse Hernandez, the ex-chairman and director of the state Board of Executive Clemency, suddenly quit last week after an investigation found nine cases of inappropriate behavior, including giving an unqualified female employee he was dating a promotion and a $21,340 pay raise, records obtained by The Arizona Republic show.
The Republic acquired heavily redacted documents through the Arizona Public Records Law on Wednesday after Gov. Jan Brewer's office refused to explain why Hernandez abruptly quit Aug. 16.
Brewer appointed Hernandez, a Republican political operative, to the post last year even though he had no experience in corrections or criminal justice, according to his resume. Messages left on his cellphone were not returned.
The five-member clemency board considers parole for eligible inmates and recommends certain clemency actions to the governor, who appoints board members. Brewer last year sacked the prior board chairman, who had 20 years of experience, and two other board members in favor of Hernandez and two other new appointees.
One of the new appointees also quit recently and said another state probe is under way to determine whether Hernandez shorted the pay of other board members.
An Arizona Department of Administration investigation was launched after a May 16 complaint against Hernandez was filed by an employee who alleged retaliation and discrimination. The subsequent probe examined a dozen allegations of misconduct. Nine were substantiated. The investigation found:
Hernandez dated a female employee and promoted her with a substantial pay raise even though she did not meet entry-level qualifications for the job and did not perform the majority of the duties required. Hernandez also tried to get her an additional raise. Investigators were told that Hernandez would kiss the woman and play with her hair, while she would give him "play slaps."
Hernandez began associating with New York Knicks star Amar'e Stoudemire after the athlete attended an early-release hearing for a relative. Hernandez was given tickets to basketball games, met for lunch with Stoudemire and had his picture taken with Stoudemire, who once played for the Phoenix Suns.
Hernandez did not hold public hearings in accordance with state law and policies, and he treated clemency-board members and visitors inappropriately.
Board members were not allowed to review their recommendations before they were submitted to the Governor's Office. Instead, the letters were edited and the board members' names were stamped on the letters.
A female employee was picked on, harassed and subjected to a hostile work environment by Hernandez.
Hernandez ogled women as they walked by.
Hernandez regularly made discriminatory and inappropriate comments, such as saying one employee was promiscuous and another was a "heathen" because she did not attend church.
Hernandez was paid $84,146 a year.
Another of Brewer's appointees, Melvin Thomas, also has quit, leaving the board with just three members.
Thomas, a former public and private prison warden, told The Republic that he resigned on Aug. 5, hoping the governor would take notice of problems with Hernandez.
"I needed to send a message to the Governor's Office," Thomas said.
Thomas said the Department of Administration is conducting a second investigation into whether Hernandez shorted the pay of other board members. Thomas said board members may not have been paid for all of their work because there was confusion about whether board members were salaried or hourly employees.
Department of Administration Director Brian McNeil said his office does not comment on pending investigations.
The Governor's Office said board members are hourly employees, making $23.46 an hour.
Thomas also said Hernandez ordered the board to take a week of unpaid furlough in late July and early August, even though the state no longer mandates furloughs. When he contacted the Administration Department, Thomas said, officials there knew nothing about a furlough.
Brewer, who is traveling in India, could not be reached. Her spokesman, Andrew Wilder, declined to answer questions about Brewer's appointment of Hernandez.
"Mr. Hernandez's conduct as chairman and executive director was unacceptable," Wilder said. "Consequently, Mr. Hernandez recognized that and the governor welcomed his resignation."
Wilder on Monday said he was not familiar with the reasons Hernandez had resigned, even though the Administration Department had been investigating Hernandez since May and Thomas had submitted his resignation to the governor on Aug. 5.
In his letter, Thomas wrote: "I can no longer endure the way me and my fellow board members have been treated."
The Department of Administration works directly for Brewer and is in constant contact with the Governor's Office.
Brian Livingston, Brewer's third appointee last year, has become the new executive director and chairman. He did not return calls on Wednesday. The remaining board members are Jack LaSota and Ellen Kirschbaum.
State clemency-board chief quit amid wide range of misconduct allegations
Jesse Hernandez, the ex-chairman and director of the state Board of Executive Clemency, suddenly quit last week after an investigation found nine cases of inappropriate behavior, including giving an unqualified female employee he was dating a promotion and a $21,340 pay raise, records obtained by The Arizona Republic show.

The Yellow Jackets hosted Division II University of Mary last Thursday night in the Donald E. Young Center. University of Mary came out on fire shooting over 50% in the first half and 61% for the game. The Yellow Jackets trailed by as many as 13 points in the first half until a late run cut the Mary lead to six going in a the half. In the second half the Yellow Jackets tried to catch up but Mary's hot shooting kept their lead and took the game 78-89. The Yellow Jackets were led by freshman Will John Johnson with 19 points and 11 rebounds. Freshman Cain Atkinson added 16 points.
The 6-6 Yellow Jackets will be back in action on December 28th and 29th in the Perkins Classic as they face Dordt College and Montana State University-Northern. Game times are 7:30pm on Friday and 6:00pm on Saturday in the Donald E. Young Center.

There's very good news for people who enviously gaze upon iOS indie games, but can't play them. One of the best is coming to PCs. Superbrothers and Capybara created an amazing 2D adventure called Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP last year, and they're bringing it to computers via Steam this year! It's one of those games that helped make point-and-click adventures even cooler than they were already. (Which was pretty darn cool!)
Windows gamers will get it first. The official announcement initially said S: S&S EP would be out "before the next dark moon." Of course, that obscure reference is pretty much for show as the minimalist announcement trailer then said people can buy it from Steam starting on April 16, 2012.
Mac owners will have to wait a little longer for S: S&S EP. The release date hint for that is "before the summer solstice," which is June 20, 2012. So at worst, you'll have to wait a little under two months for your version. That's not too bad.
Either way, Superbrothers has confirmed that it doing its best to make this a perfect port. The only real changes are a new control scheme and some slight graphical tweaking. It's understandable, since now people are going to have to use a mouse instead of a touch screen and accelerometer to help The Scythian get through her four session adventure. That's how the game's story is divided up, in case you didn't know.
Cabybara Games is going to have a booth at PAX East 2012 this year, which is happening this weekend. Both companies have already commited to bringing S: S&S EP along, so if you're at the convention April 6-8, 2012, pop by that booth for a good time.

The official site for Grand Theft Auto 4 has been released by Rockstar Games at http://rockstargames.com/grandtheftauto4/
Thankfully it shows for PS3 as well as XBox 360, and won't be a one console game and both will be launching at the same time, apparently
Gamespot posted on their site:
[UPDATE] At its pre-E3 press conference, Microsoft confirmed that the next Grand Theft Auto is coming to the Xbox 360 in October of next year. In an official announcement, Rockstar Games confirmed simultaneous launch on PS3.
- Gamespot Article
Thanks to Damian and Miami13
Microsoft have revealed at E3 that GTA IV will have downloadable add-ons from the XBox Live service. More details will follow as launch date nears.

People were saying they'd take a lot longer to build like a whole UK or whatever. Very true, and I highly doubt they'd do that. Being in the UK, anywhere there, is kinda ify for me. But I'd take anywhere in the world for gta to be set, rather than have it be in the 60s or 70s. 60s or 70s is worst case scenario for me. Also, I hope it has a badass physics engine lie Saint's Row, and a Creat a character, like Saint's Row. Very customizable. Muscle/fat - mixtures. Badass clothes, etc. Frame City Killer looked ok, like a kinda gta type game it seemed at first. But the same animations for deaths, etc, and no ragdoll turned me off it. I'm sure gta will have a great physics engine though, since it had a partial one in GTA SA, or kinda tried for it in some of the animations. Oh and back to the UK thing, saying it'd take forever for Rockstar to make it and it'd be a long time before it came out. Well WTF about now?! What's it been, 2 years? And it's gonna be like a total of 3 by the time gta 4 comes out. That's the longest ever for a gta game, no? I guess we can kinda blame the next gen thing on that, but it's gonna be worth the wait. But Saint's Row, Crackdown, and some other are looking mighty fine to pass the time till gta 4. PS3 or 360? That is my current problem.
"All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you're not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you're the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly.

I am new to Java and trying to save a multi line string to a text file.
Right now, it does work within my application. Like, if I save the file from my application and then open it from my application, it does put a space between lines. However, if I save the file from my app and then open it in Notepad, it is all on one line.
Is there a way to make it show multi line on all programs? Here's my current code:
public static void saveFile(String contents) {
// Get where the person wants to save the file
JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
int rval = fc.showSaveDialog(fc);
if(rval == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
File file = fc.getSelectedFile();
try {
//File out_file = new File(file);
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file));
} catch(IOException e) {
messageUtilities.errorMessage("There was an error saving your file. IOException was thrown.", "File Error");
else {
// Do nothing
System.out.println("The user choose not to save anything");

The governments plan to hand over the operations of Chennai and Lucknow airports to private firms has generated interest among top rung infrastructure firms of the country, including the Tata group, Essar group and existing operators GVK and GMR, sources in the civil aviation ministry said.
Two foreign airport operators, German firm Fraport AG and Turkish firm Celebi have also met aviation ministry officials as part of preliminary meetings before the bidding stage.
As per the request for qualification (RFQ) documents inviting interested parties for operation, management and transfer of Lucknow and Chennai airports, the private developers will also have to invest R500 crore and R1,200 crore, respectively, for further development of the two airports.
The civil aviation ministry last month invited interested parties with the qualification stage ending on October 18. As per the bid conditions, the interested parties need to have five years of experience in operations and management of airports.
While GMR and GVK satisfy that requirement and can go in for the bid alone, Tata group and Essar would require a foreign partner and bid as a consortium.
Since 2007-08, a GMR-led consortium has been operating the Delhi and Hyderabad airports while a GVK-led consortium has been operating the Mumbai and Bangalore airports.
Fraport with revenues over 2 billion euros is one of Europes largest airport operators and has partnered GMR in operations of the Delhi airport.
However, last year the German-company opted to exit the consortium at Delhi International Airport. Celebi Holdings is a Turkish airport operator and already manages the cargo terminal at Delhi.
The meetings were preliminary in nature and the final contours of the consortiums will only be clear once the formal applications start coming in, said a senior official at the civil aviation ministry.
Following the qualification stage, the bid documents for the two airports would go on sale by the last week of October. The timeline prescribed in the RFQ documents suggest that the bidding process will be completed by the last week of January and concession agreements would be signed within 30 days after completion of the bidding.

Cesc Fabregas struck the winning spot kick as holders Spain beat Portugal 4-2 on penalties after their Uefa Euro 2012™ semifinal ended goalless after extra time on Wednesday. Spain keeper Iker Casillas saved Joao Moutinho's opening penalty then Bruno Alves hit the bar to eventually open the door for substitute Fabregas, who scored via the post.World champions Spain have reached a third consecutive major tournament final, which will be played in Kiev on Sunday, equalling the record set by West Germany in the early 1970s.
It was the second successive game to go to penalties after Italy beat England in the last eight, with the Italians playing Germany in Warsaw on Thursday in the second semifinal."I had a funny feeling about the penalties and I was thinking about them this afternoon," said Fabregas."They told me intially to take the second one but I said no give me the fifth as I had this premonition."When I stepped up to take the penalty I said to the ball that we had to make history and it shouldn't let me down.Portugal coach Paulo Bento added: "If I had to choose a way of losing I wouldn't choose this way… but Spain are a great team and we can leave with our heads high."

Traditional text similarity measures consider each term similar only to itself and do not model semantic relatedness of terms. We propose a novel discriminative training method that projects the raw term vectors into a common, low-dimensional vector space. Our approach operates by finding the optimal matrix to minimize the loss of the pre-selected similarity function (e.g., cosine) of the projected vectors, and is able to efficiently handle a large number of training examples in the high-dimensional space. Evaluated on two very different tasks, cross-lingual document retrieval and ad relevance measure, our method not only outperforms existing state-of-the-art approaches, but also achieves high accuracy at low dimensions and is thus more efficient.

Ittepane Dhammalankara Anunayake Thera:
Premasara Epasinghe
Septuagenerian "Buddha Putra" Ittepane Dhammalankara Thera was born
on October 15, 1935, in a distant village known as Ittepana, in the
District of Kalutara.
The Erudite scholarly monk Ven. Ittepane Dhammalankara, Anunayaka
thera, has committed his whole life to serve Buddhism and presently
doing an invaluable service in the propagation of Buddhism in Sri Lanka
and abroad. He is an ornament to Buddha Sasana, and an eloquent
preacher. His presentation, deliverance, dulcet voice is so appealing to
the heart of the listeners. His Dhamma sermons are a soothing balm to
the minds.
Ven. Ittepane Dhammalankara Thera, entered the Sangha Sasana, six
decades ago in 1950, under the illustrious teachers – Ven. Kalalgoda
Dhammasiri and Ven. Talwatugoda Dhammaloka Theras, who were the Chief
Incumbents of Purana Maha Viharaya, Kottawa and Talawatugoda Siri
Nandarama respectively.
To pursue his higher studies, he entered the Vidyalankara Pirivena,
considered as one of the crest jewels of Buddhist learning in Sri Lanka.
He was very fortunate to study under such great monks such as
Kiriwattuduwe Pannasara, Yakkaduwe Praggarama, Kotahena Pannakitti,
Bambarende Siri Seevali, to name a few out of many. He was a brilliant
student of Vidyalankara Pirivena and completed the final examination, in
Pirivena Education with distinction, winning many prizes. Later, he
entered the University of Vidyalankara, (University of Kelaniya), and
obtained the Bachelor of Arts Degree and then went on to completed a
Dockrate in Philosophy.
He was an excellent administrator of his Nikaya. He held the
prestigious title "Karmavagachariya" in the Kotte Kalyani Samagri Dharma
Maha Sangha Sabha and also held and performed the secretariat work of
the Chapter and rose to the illustrious position of Anunayaka.
Presently, Ven. Ittepane Dhammalankara Anunayake thera, is the Chief
Incumbent of Dharma Vijayaloka Viharaya, Rukmalgama, Pannipitiya and
devotes full time in the cause of Buddha Dhamma. He always stands very
firm and fair in major National issues.
The great monk, motivated and created an opinion among the masses to
safeguard the territorial integrity of our beloved land. Further, he
acted as the secretary of the Sinhala Balamandala, which was the
"Brain-child" of the Most Venerable Madihe Pannaseeha Mahanayake Thera.
The Thera organised protest meetings, protest marches, rallies
against terrorist activities. He is a dynamic monk who put country
before self. Being an independent thinker, he always stand for truth,
fair-play and justice.
It is still etched in my mind, in the 1977 J R Jayewardene's regime,
at a meeting held at the All Ceylon Buddhist Congress Centre in
Bauddhaloka Mawatha, Colombo 7, chaired by Ittepane Dhammalankara Thera,
the government "Thugs" at that time assaulted the keynote speaker,
highly respected Professor Dr. Ediriweera Sarachchandra and some
prominent personalities. This great monk always stood for the rights of
the people, and the country.
Apart from his religious and missionary activities to propagate
Buddhism, he is also a time writer and an author. He wrote the
autobiographies of Most Venerable Ananda Maitriya, Rerukane Chandawimala
Maha Nayake Thera, Bellane Gnanawimala Maha Nayake Thera and also many
other articles and research papers of Buddhism.
Further, this monk wrote a book on the highly respected Catholic
Priest Marcelline Jayakody 'Malpelen Upan Pansale Piyatuma".
This clearly illustrates his impartiality.

For study purposes: Keep yourself occupied with your studies / reading / revision, etc. If it's a cold night, keep a mug of hot chocolate, milk, tea or coffee besides you.
For seeking Lailat-ul-Qadr: Keep yourself active by reading Qur'an, offering Nafl Prayers (Ta Hajjud, Salat-ul-Tawba and Salat-ul-Tasbih), engage in Dhikr of Allah (Remembrance of Allah), and make Dua.
And since there is no better way of praising Allah do Sujjud as Allah is most pleased with the one who is in Sujjud. (Can someone find a Hadith to accompany this, I've read this somewhere before but I cannot recall where).
Quick Note on Lailat-ul-Qadr Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said about Lailat-ul-Qadr:
"Anyone who stays awake during the Night of Power with belief (IMAAN) and for the pleasure of Allah, all his previous sins will be forgiven."
[Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim]
It has also been reported by the wife of the Prophet Muhammed (SAW), Aisha (RA):
"I asked the Messenger of Allah if I knew which night was the Night of Power and what Prayer I should say during that night? He said to me: Say: Allahumma innaka 'afu'wwun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu 'annee"
The translation of this saying is "O Allah! You are most forgiving and you love to forgive, so forgive me".
We should endeavour to say this an many time as possible, especially when seeking Lailat-ul-Qadr on the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadhan.
