Box Score - Game 1
Box Score - Game 2
FRESNO, Calif. - The Fresno State baseball team hit four homeruns in game 2 of a doubleheader to beat Nevada 11-1 in seven innings on Saturday evening at Pete Beiden Field. Alan Ahmady hit two two-run homeruns while Steve Susdorf hit a three-run shot to right field that went off the wall of the Fresno State weight room. Tommy Mendonca also hit a two-run homerun in the third inning.
Fresno State is now 14-13 overall and 4-3 in WAC play while Nevada is 13-11 and 5-2 in conference.
Justin Miller
Justin Millerearned the win and upped his record to 4-0 as he allowed only three hits while striking out eight in a complete game.
"Miller came out and gave us exactly what we needed," Fresno State coach Mike Batesole said. "Pitching is starting to get a little bit thin three games into the weekend in 24 hours. Exactly what we needed was a complete game. He threw a really smart game.
The Bulldogs pounded out 13 hits with Susdorf leading the way with three and five RBIs. Ahmady, Mendonca and Danny Muno each had two hits while Ahmady also had four RBIs.
Susdorf's homerun moved him into a tie for sixth place on the All-Time homerun list with 30 for his career. He needs three homeruns to move into fifth place.
After a scoreless first inning, Susdorf led off the second inning with a single to centerfield and Ahmady followed with his first homerun of the game over the left-center fence.
After Nevada scored a run in the top of the third, the Dogs then had two two-run homeruns in the bottom half of the inning.
Erik Wetzel doubled down the left field line to open the inning. A batter later with one out Ahmady hit his second homerun of the game on a shot that went over the left-center fence to up the Fresno State lead to 4-1. Later in the inning Mendonca hit a two-run shot to give the Dogs a 6-1 lead.
The lead was extended to 9-1 in the fourth. Steve Detwiler started the inning with a single to left-center and Wetzel walked to set up Susdorf's three-run bomb of the wall of the Fresno State weight room in right field.
The Bulldogs added two more runs in the fifth to extend their lead to 11-1.
The Bulldogs have now taken two of three from Nevada and will play the final game of the four-game series on Sunday. First pitch is set for 1:05 p.m.
Game 1
The Fresno State baseball team dropped the first game of a doubleheader to Nevada on Saturday, 4-1. The loss drops the Bulldogs to 13-13 and 3-3 in WAC play while Nevada improved to 13-10 and 5-1 in conference.
Fresno State had six hits for the game, with Erik Wetzel coming up with two and scoring the Dogs only run. Wetzel has now hit safely in seven straight games. Clayton Allison suffered the loss as he pitched seven innings.
After five scoreless innings, the Wolf Pack scored one run in the top of the sixth to lead 1-0 and two more runs in the top of the seventh to increase the lead to 3-0.
Fresno State answered in the bottom of the seventh with a run. Wetzel started the scoring with a double to right field. Steve Susdorf then singled to right allowing Wetzel to score the Bulldogs only run of the game.

Bug in Direct.NET (EXT.JS 3.1.1) ?
I use Direct.NET and on client side I very often use DirectFn instead of API configuration object with read method (in such case the params are encoded as an array, so they are embeded in [] brackets). In such case everything works ok.
When I started using API configuration object (DirectProxy) to implement full CRUD, the params started encoding without [] brackets so as a naked object with {} brackets. This way Newtonsoft.Json is trying to decode simple object as a list/array and throws en exception (version 3.5 of Newtosoft.Json). Earlier version of Newtonsoft.Json just returns empty Object as a result of deserialization (also incorrect behavior). To correct this strange behavior I did something like below (file DirectProcessor.cs, method Execute, line 44 - I corrected else clause and added try/catch clause):
//... else { UTF8Encoding encoding = new UTF8Encoding(); string json = encoding.GetString(httpRequest.BinaryRead(httpRequest.TotalBytes)); List<DirectRequest> requests = new List<DirectRequest>(); try { requests = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<DirectRequest>>(json); } catch { } if (requests.Count > 0) { foreach (DirectRequest request in requests) { responses.Add(DirectProcessor.ProcessRequest(provider, request)); } } else { DirectRequest req = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<DirectRequest>(json); responses.Add(DirectProcessor.ProcessRequest(provider, req)); } }
I hope it helps if you encounter problems similar to mine ...

I'm not quite sure I follow, can you post what the request looks like from fbug?Evan Trimboli
Sencha Developer
Twitter - @evantrimboli
Don't be afraid of the source code!
15 Feb 2010 1:15 AM #3
I think it has been caused because of the number of the request per POST operation, not just because using configuration object for API).
This is json string that comes from httpRequest.BinaryRead method (this is one request per post only):
The issue is it's trying to decode request as a list when it's not a list. It has been sent as a simple json object but it doesn't consider such case here.
This is the operation it does always in DirectProcessor.Execute method without considering if it's array of objects in json string or not:
requests = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<DirectRequest>>(json);
DirectRequest req = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<DirectRequest>(json);
16 Feb 2010 10:57 AM #4
17 Feb 2010 6:17 AM #5
Stalek, you are correct; this is caused by a combination of Ext.Direct's batching of requests and a change in the Newtonsoft.Json library. I followed the approach used in the ASP.NET MVC implementation of Ext.Direct to work around the issue:
var reader = new StreamReader(httpRequest.InputStream, new UTF8Encoding()); var json = reader.ReadToEnd(); if (json.StartsWith("[") && json.EndsWith("]")) { var requests = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<IList<DirectRequest>>(json); foreach (var request in requests) { responses.Add(ProcessRequest(provider, request)); } } else { var request = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<DirectRequest>(json); responses.Add(ProcessRequest(provider, request)); }
17 Feb 2010 6:30 AM #6
Yes, it's more proper workaround and size of the change is similar ...

Arizona is past the point where anyone gets to decide whether or not to embrace the federal Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare.
As of today, the law is embracing us, one way or another.
The choice before Gov. Jan Brewer today is whether to take some measure of state control of the sweeping health-care reforms by creating for Arizona one of the law's signature health-insurance "exchanges."
The alternative? Simply let the federal government enact Arizona's program itself. The latter promises to embrace Arizona's health-care future in a great, big bureaucratic bearhug.
There is little doubt the former is the better path. Local control is much the preferred option.
Calls for "repeal and replace" have been replaced with the inescapable fact that Obamacare is the law of the land. Neither elections nor Supreme Court decisions stand in the path of its implementation. Either we make the law operational, or the feds do. Or, perhaps, some combination of the two gets worked out. But either way, the health-care reform train is rolling.
We understand and appreciate the reluctance Brewer may have in creating an Arizona insurance exchange.
As recently as October, a Kaiser Family Foundation poll found the law to be as unpopular as the day it was passed, with just 38 percent of respondents supporting it. And, notoriously, it passed in 2010 without a single member of Brewer's Republican party supporting it. But events since 2010 have not gone opponents' way.
Health-care exchanges controlled from Washington, D.C., will not be tailored to local interests, and quite possibly be more costly for consumers than locally controlled insurance exchanges would be.
Brewer wisely has used federal resources to plan for the exchange, so the infrastructure is in place, to a much greater extent than in states such as Florida, which have balked entirely at the new federal law.
Deciding on whether to pursue a state exchange isn't Brewer's only pending choice. She also must decide whether Arizona should pursue expanding Medicaid coverage to include families earning up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level.
That is a knottier question than the exchange issue, since the "carrot" for expanding coverage is federal support funding that could evaporate at any time.
Even if Brewer approves a state exchange, her decision must pass legislative muster, hardly a given. The issue likely will pose a big challenge for new Senate President Andy Biggs, a strong conservative and opponent of Obamacare, who nevertheless has vowed to work with minority Democrats.
Brewer has approached the health-care question responsibly so far. There's been no finger-wagging political rhetoric. The governor knows what's at stake.
Prudence in health-care law has served Arizona well over the years. Arizona's Medicaid program, AHCCCS, is better administered than in most states precisely because Arizona approached implementing it deliberately and thoughtfully.
And, dare we say, in a way that maximized local control.
The responsible choice going forward is to consider the state's best interest once the law is in effect. And that would be with a state-controlled exchange.

G'day people ,
Along the lines of Wing's tributes to various aircraft on the Civil Aviation thread, I have decided to start a similar thread in Tech/Ops. The emphasis will be on the technical aspects of various components and sub-systems, and I would love for other A.netters of a technical bent to produce their own tour of their favorite piece of aircraft related machinery.
Adding ramblings of your experiences with these devices is encouraged. Think of it as a technical trip report from a personal perspective. Most of all, entertain and educate your fellow A.netters.
Anyhow, JetMech has a thing for the Rolls-Royce (RR) Trent 700. So here goes. The Trent 700 (T-700) series of turbofan engines are designed to produce a nominal thrust in the range of 68-72,000lbs. The engine is a triple spool design of the following layout;
N1 spool, 1 stage of Low Pressure Compressor (LPC) driven by a four stage Low Pressure Turbine (LPT).

text: Brazilian/American thrashers SEPULTURA will have their latest album, "A-Lex", re-released in April via SPV/Steamhammer with two brand new songs. The two new tracks were completed during the "A-Lex" recording session but were not released.SEPULTURA is planning to film a new concert DVD in 2010. It will feature live footage from the band's upcoming tour of Europe and may also include clips of the group performing live with an orchestra. SEPULTURA will support METALLICA on January 30 and January 31 at Morumbi Stadium in São Paulo, Brazil. Each of the two concerts is expected to be attended by 60,000 people. "A-Lex" — SEPULTURA's first LP to be recorded without either of the founding Cavalera brothers (Max and Igor; on guitar/vocals and drums, respectively) — is available in three versions: in a deluxe digipak with an embossed cover, in a regular jewel case and on a vinyl gatefold LP. On "A-Lex", SEPULTURA guitarist Andreas Kisser and his three colleagues, Derrick Green (vocals), Paulo Jr. (bass) and new addition Jean Dollabella (drums), have dedicated themselves to Anthony Burgess's book "A Clockwork Orange", creating an awesome thrash metal opus around this timeless and exciting subject. In a recent interview with Sonic Excess, Kisser stated about the band's 11th studio album, "I am very happy with 'A-Lex'. The album came out in January [2009] and we did two tours in Europe. We still want to go back there and a few other places we haven't been to yet. We played Argentina with IRON MAIDEN and it has just been a great tour. But I am very happy with the album; it was inspired by the film 'A Clockwork Orange' and an amazing book. We did a version of ninth symphony from Beethoven, so it was a great experience to record that album especially with a new drummer. This album has presented up with a lot of possibilities, we are thinking about playing the album with an orchestra." When asked if SEPULTURA was worried that some people might not understand the progressive nature of "A-Lex", Andreas replied, "Not at all. For SEPULTURA this has become so common to bring something different. Of course, we lose and gain fans in doing that. If you put together all of our albums, they are all different. That is the way we are, always looking for something new. We cannot please everybody, that's impossible and hopefully we never will. I think it's good to have some criticism because that will show you stuff you don't see."

Generally speaking, "impact fees" are financial contributions — money or land, for example — imposed by communities on developers or builders to pay for capital improvements within the community which are necessary to service/accommodate the new development.
Impact fees, however, must be reasonable. To ensure fairness, impact fees can only be assessed (1) for capital improvements that are a direct consequence of the new development and (2) in an amount not exceed an the proportionate share required to serve the new development. In other words, a developer cannot be required to pay a disproportionate share of improvements that also benefit other persons, such as a bridge on the other side of town.
Communities use impact fees, as opposed to other sources of revenue, to fund capital improvements for three primary reasons.
First, many communities either have underestimated their actual growth or failed to engage in long-range, fiscal planning for capital improvements altogether. Accordingly, because these communities have not adequately planned for growth, they need additional sources of revenue, for example impact fees, to fund those capital improvements which are necessary to accommodate growth.
Second, many other sources of revenue have dried up as options for local governments. Over the last several years, fiscal responsibility has been shifted from federal and state governments to local units. For example, municipalities are now required to share more of the burden for transportation costs than in the past.
Finally, some people contend that the burden of paying for capital improvements should be borne by new development because new residents will be the ones who will put pressure on the existing facilities.
Although they are an effective means to generate income for the community, impact fees increase the cost of housing. When a community imposes an impact fee on new development, the actual costs are passed on to the purchaser through increased lot prices. As lot prices increase, the number of people who are able to afford the lots decreases. In addition, if the impact fees are too high, prospective homebuyers will look to other communities with lower prices. Accordingly, by reducing the number of prospective buyers who are either able or willing to pay for the increased lot prices, impact fees can have a devastating impact on local real estate markets.
Despite claims by local neighborhood groups, new residents are not the only ones affected by impact fees. According to Planning Magazine, 50 to 75 percent of new homes are purchased by existing residents looking to trade up within the same community. Accordingly, impact fees often penalize longtime tax-paying residents for wanting to stay in the community.

Critics claim Kingston parking ordinance targets business
KINGSTON — Some are crying foul over a proposed ordinance restricting on-street parking to residents in a section of the municipality — all because one business has been parking vehicles on public roads.
Kingston council introduced an ordinance June 2 that would create a "residential parking only zone" along Mercer Avenue between Bennett and West Vaughn streets; on Bennett from Wyoming Avenue to the Luzerne Borough line; and on West Walnut Street from Wyoming Avenue to the Cross Valley Expressway.
Critics note the ordinance is specifically tailored to target K&B Discount Auto Repair at 70-76 W. Bennett St., which frequently has customers park on nearby streets.
"It's really just for us," said Nate Sompel, a mechanic at the business. "If they did that, we'd have nowhere to park. If that passed, a customer wouldn't even be allowed to pull up and park in front of the business to come in. They'd have to park who knows how many blocks away and walk up."
Municipal Administrator Paul Keating said that for months leading up to the ordinance's introduction, residents, lead by a neighborhood spokesman, John Macko, had been coming to meetings and calling police as well as code enforcement to report the business was using public streets as a "storage area" for vehicles awaiting repair.
"After hearing the complaints from the residents and also looking into the numerous visits by police and code, the council (introduced) an ordinance to designate residential parking only," Keating said.
Sompel said that the business used to park vehicles underneath the Cross Valley Expressway, but after a neighbor complained about vehicles there the state Department of Transportation posted trespassing signs and curtailed the practice. The business owner has a small lot about a block away that it can use, but that might not be enough for customer and employee vehicles, he said.
"We're pretty much screwed," he said. "We've got to think of something."
Kingston resident Brian Shiner, who lives in the area, confirmed that the street is often lined with vehicles attributed to the shop and that parking is an issue. But he noted that once when a neighbor had a broken fan belt, someone from the shop came over and replaced it on the spot for $20.
"You can't beat that," Shiner said. "As far as being a good neighbor at what they do — yeah, they are. But as far as good neighbors with their parking and the vehicles for repair — no, they're not."
Shiner said the municipality crafting an ordinance targeting one business seems "overkill" and questioned where such a move might lead the municipality.
"The next thing you know, no business in Kingston will be able to have their customers park on the street," Shiner said. "So if you didn't have private, off-street parking to accommodate all of your customers, you can't be in business in Kingston."
Keating said council, as well as the municipal solicitor, Harry Mattern, had researched the implications of singling out a business in such an ordinance before its introduction. He deferred comment on that aspect to Mattern, who did not immediately return a message Thursday afternoon.
Council is slated to vote on the ordinance July 7.

Welcome to Birch Cottage, charming self-contained bed and breakfast
accommodation, located in the heart of Burra, South Australia.
Birch Cottage, built of bluestone,
was one of the first miners' cottages built in Burra in 1846. The
has been lovingly restored and great attention has been placed on every
little detail, ensuring that guests are provided with every comfort.
It's just like being home again with grandma.Simple words can't express my gratefulness and how much I give special thanks for getting responded to my request due to this almost hopeless situation.

A Kit for Landlords whose tenants are not paying rent
Are your tenants not paying rent? If so you are probably very worried as this will affect YOUR income. After all you will still be expected to pay the mortgage and any other outgoings on the property – even if the tenants are not paying you.
Many landlords panic when tenants stop paying rent and don't know what to do. To help you I have developed this kit, which sets out everything you need to know and which provides a step by step framework for you to follow.
I even give you a checklist so you can see where you are!
The kit will hopefully help you get your tenants paying again – but if they don't it will help you get your paperwork in order if you need to bring proceedings for possession (which are covered in a separate kit).

Contributing writer
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. -- Of all the cities shaken up by the economic downturn following the dot-com bust, few have felt the impact like San Francisco. At the height of its technology-driven 90s economy, commercial vacancies were at a slim rate of one percent . By last year, that number had risen to 24 percent. Unemployment was up, tax revenues were down, and the city needed to find ways of attracting new businesses?and retaining existing ones.
Julie Brandt, deputy director of Economic Development for the city of San Francisco, had a great deal of support but a limited budget. "We had a clear mandate to make it easier to do business in San Francisco," said Brandt. Once she met with Anatolio Ubalde of GIS Planning, she immediately recognized that the company's online GIS-based economic development portal would be an invaluable tool. With the support of the entire city staff, implementation started almost immediately.
In 1998, the founders of GIS Planning developed a GIS-based Web application called Zoom Prospector that makes it far easier for businesses to find potential sites in a particular city and analyze their viability. The application is customized for each particular city with an appearance consistent with that city's branding and a display of options based on the available data.
To begin, a business owner wanting a San Francisco location enters search criteria - such as the size of the desired space, possibly focusing on areas that offer federal renewal or other tax incentives, or focusing on a particular neighborhood. This initial search returns a list of candidate sites which can be viewed according to detailed information such as nearby parking, schools, public transit lines, and area traffic counts. The site report (which can be printed or exported to .pdf format for emailing) offers a basic profile of the property, real estate broker contact information and, typically, a street-level photo of the building. From that point, the user can select the demographics tab to obtain extensive information on the age, income, skills, and spending habits of the population within a prescribed area. If those results match the target clientele or workforce, the user can then determine whether existing businesses in the area would offer synergy or competition.
The "Businesses" tab presents the user with the number and names of nearby businesses in varying categories. In the past, gathering such information manually might have taken days. With GIS Planning's application it can be done in minutes?and free of charge to both the businesses performing the search, and the real estate brokers that provide the property data.
According to company founder Anatolio Ubalde, this is a win-win situation for everyone. "Everybody benefits in different ways," explains Ubalde. "The real estate brokers get valuable referrals. Because any broker can provide listings, businesses can be assured that they are finding the most ideal locations. When businesses decide to locate themselves in our clients' cities, that creates new jobs and markets for city residents. And of course, new businesses means new sources of long-term tax revenue for the city."
San Francisco, like many other tech-savvy cities, already had an existing GIS in place with large amounts of data that was readily put to use in the SF Prospector Web page. The company got the go-ahead to begin implementation in mid-2002, shortly after meeting with Julie Brandt.. The Web site was finished that November and was officially launched on New Year's Day of 2003. The entire project cost approximately $50,000.
According to city officials, it is still too early to determine return on investment from the economic development project. Ublade reports that, over two years, the city of Tucson generated $400,000 in saved staff time using ZoomProspector and, in

Wow!!! Lots of drama to very end.
Remind me to avoid cobblestones-especially when they are wet!!
Wow!!! Lots of drama to very end.
Remind me to avoid cobblestones-especially when they are wet!!
I have it recorded to watch this evening. Unfortunately I know the result due to turning onto a Sports News channel. Still want to watch it though.
Wonder If I can keep the wife in the pool for another 2 hours? So I can watch it in peace.
How long was I in the army? Five foot seven.

It has been a very good race for me to follow this year. My appreciation for stage racing has grown considerably. And, yes the last stage was very exciting. Just the difference in the aggressiveness of riders at the top of the GC and others when they hit the wet cobbles told a compelling story about what it takes to be a champion. Di Luca fought to the very end, but Menchov was just too powerful.
A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking. - S. Wright

just watched the guy in pink, did he win? the video was downright frightening! incredible how fast they go
cycling is like baseball ~ it doesn't take much to make it interesting
Still haven't watched it- so it looks as though it will go on the Keep file on the hard disc. Along with this years Paris- Roubaix and the womens world championships from last year.
How long was I in the army? Five foot seven.

I was a great grand tour and finish. I do not understand Di Luca's choice of bikes. He used his road bike without modification. His position was too high and frontal profile too big. I am sure his team director debated that decision with him. I get wanting to use the road bike to accelerate but it was clear he gave Menchov too great of an aero advantage. The fact that Menchov crashed going in a straight line could have happened to Di Luca. Go figure.
I rode on the cobbles in Florence, Italy and they are frightening when they are dry. I cannot imagine racing on that course in the rain.
I thought Lance did really well considering his crash, surgery and recovery. I am looking forward to the TdF.
And Not a Lance Fan- but I feel that this was just a warm-up for the TDF. On a few of the stages- he showed his "Old" brilliance- but I just feel that others have caught him up on Skills.
How long was I in the army? Five foot seven.

Great Giro! but then the Giro is THE stage race of the year... for me, 5, maybe 6 sprinter's stages out of 21 very hard days. Le Tour pales in comparo.
having to find other resources than Versus, was a good thing. I miss Phil and Paul (and Bobke ofcourse) a tiny amount, but don;t miss the incredibly bad weekly recaps they did each wkend.
Not having Versus do any Giro was a great thing. made me look to some great streaming on the web.
The internet streaming is now so much better and seeing most, if not all, of a stage is what itz all about...
bike racing is about the continuum of the race/stage not just any one moment.
If you can't get the continental broadcasts, its really been the 1st Giro in a long time where one gets the real flavor of the race.
Missed Contador though... woulda been real interesting iff'n he showed...
Golden rose, the color of the dream I had
Not too long ago
A misty blue and the lillac too
A never to grow old
It was a good Giro overall, but they really should concider rain delays on short TTs. Especially on the final day. There were a lot of really fast guys that did not have a chance at winning the final stage.

Late response here: I aggree it can add to the dramma, but in this case 90% of the really fast guys decided to play it safe and went slow which took a lot of the dramma out of the race. I live 20 minutes from Talladega and 90% of the fans there show up for the big wreck, not the race.I read your post and immediately thought of NASCAR. Could it be that there are cycling fans who love to see the accidents? I guess the protest on stage 9 over dangerous conditions had little impact. We must sadly remember the professional cycling is primarily entertainment, and a danerous slippery finish adds drama.
I was able to watch on over the air prod cast on NBC high deff, was great to watch.
The average speed of the winner was over 27 MPH, I can't imagine riding that fast.
I don't normally follow pro racing. How long is the final day TT? In good weather, at least, 27mph might not earn a win in an amateur 40K TT.
For some reason, I have always preferred the Giro to the Tour of France. I can't put my finger on why exactly, but it just seems more fun to watch. Maybe it's the fans or the scenary. It is a race I'd love to see in person.
This year's was great, rivaling Salvodelli's 2005 victory determined on the next to last day.
Hats off to Di Luca for a game effort on every stage the last week. Hats of to Menchov for digging deep and matching each and every attack on the mountain stages.
Great racing.
I folow the VeloNews "Live Update Guys" on the computer at work. I got a bit behind these past weeks LOL!

BALTIMORE, Maryland, November 22. MOST of the swimming world has kept up the pressure on Michael Phelps in hopes of a return to competition in time for the 2016 Rio Olympics, but now the biggest swim fan of them all is publicly calling for the Greatest of All Time to comeback — his mom, Debbie.
According to NBC Sports' Nick Zaccardi, a friend of Swimming World, Debbie discussed a possible comeback by Michael with a local Baltimore radio station after news broke that Michael is back in the drug testing pool as the latest sign of a return from a short retirement.
"I don't know if we're going to Rio, but I know that, according to the Baltimore Sun and out there in social media, Michael did make an announcement about being back in the pool," Debbie Phelps told WBAL News. "Where that leads him, I don't know, I'm hoping it does lead us to Brazil. But, you know, athletes, children, composers, artists have to love what they do. Michael has a love for his sport, a passion for his sport. I know when he went to Barcelona for world champs last year [July 2013], I watched his face. He has such eagerness about where the sport of swimming is going to go. I'm supporting him all the way as his mom."
Unless Michael hit a wall in training and feels that he would not be able to compete at a world-class level, there's not much more left to likely hold him back from a return to competition. He's back in the testing pool, which requires updating USADA of every hour of your day and submitting to drug tests with regularity. He's also back in the pool with some of the top talent in the world like Yannick Agnel, Conor Dwyer, Matt McLean and Tom Luchsinger. Now, his mom even wants him to go to Rio.

Feeling a little blue there, eh, Ben McKenzie?
No, I'm not implying that he's depressed. The handsome actor paired a blue denim shirt with even darker blue jeans for his shopping trip to Jimmy Choo.
Perhaps he's celebrating his role as Jim Gordon in the new FOX drama, Gotham.
We finally know just a little bit more about the television show, which will probably be airing in Fall 2014. At the moment, the network hasn't announced an air date. Let's hope it's sometime in early September because I am so ready for this show.
According to FOX's website, it's Gordon's friendship with young Bruce Wayne "that will last them all of their lives, playing a crucial role in helping the young boy eventually become the crusader he's destined to be." Their dynamic and seeing how their story started should be interesting.
McKenzie appears to be jumping right into character effortlessly while on set. Well, it's not exactly effortless. Let's hope he doesn't overexert himself with all of that running he does on set.
Luckily, Southland gave him the opportunity to be in an action-filled show. By now, all of the running is probably second nature.
Are you excited for Gotham? Launch our gallery to see the denim-clad cutie, and then let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

salaries are set by market forces even for union members. mechanics at united make about the same as delta, even though delta is non union.
Here is the bottom line on this issue. Workers should have the right to either join the union or NOT! Put the money and workplace safety issue aside. There have been arguements about company abuse, but what about Union abuse? Before right to work, once a union is in, they own the jobs. You could not get rid of a bad union. Right to work now makes the Unions accountable to their membership and that is what it is all about. This is all about the people, not the union. There is a difference!
I've seen 30 years of unions at Lockheed Martin and witnessed first hand the laying off of great , young, energetic, young family workers in favor of some lazy jerks that won't get off their butt to hit a lick because they have "seniority". I watch the young family guy go out the door and have to hunt for a job. Unions were necessary to counter-balance what companies were doing to the work-force.........."BACK IN THE 30's" !!! Now the pendulum has swung way too far and the "balance" is gone again........out of control in the unions' direction.
I am a union member in a right to work state. if my Union gets out of line or ceases to represent me i can leave the union without losing my job. I also will not be "bullied" or coerced by anyone if i do so. I've been here 16 years, seen people go from wageroll to mgmnt and the overall relationship has been positive.
To blame unions for companies or entire industries moving overseas is absolute nonsense! Unions don't chase industry abroad...greed does! When profit margins aren't "enough" to sustain the lavish lifestyle of company execs you can bet your bottom dollar that they'll do everything in their power to change that. If that means laying off thousands of hardworking highly skilled Americans for cheap labor and subpar quality then so be it! It's that whole notion of enough isn't enough that pushes greed across the ocean and south of the border and NOT unions.

Legitimized violence
Pakistan | America's ally is on its way to becoming a Taliban state, which is devastating news to Pakistani Christians
WASHINGTON-In Dera Ismail Khan, a town in Pakistan's North-West Frontier Province bordering Afghanistan, 551 people have died since 2006 as a result of religious violence.
Pakistan, much like what once happened to neighboring Afghanistan, is on its way to becoming a Taliban state, which is devastating news to Pakistani Christians. Violent insurrections incited by an array of militant Islamic groups have plunged parts of the North-West Frontier Province into anarchy. As the Taliban there gains power it markets its own extreme and intolerant brand of Islamic law that condones death for Muslims who convert to Christianity.
With the rise in discrimination against minority religious groups in Pakistan, some observers are calling for increased pressure by the U.S. government.
At a Capitol Hill hearing this week, Middle East experts told members of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) that a continued permissive attitude by the Pakistani government toward religious persecution could have serious repercussions for America's own national security.
Steve Coll, president of the New American Foundation and the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Ghost Wars, told the commission that stability will not come to the region unless ties are severed between official Pakistan and the nation's violent extremist religious groups. He testified that Pakistan erred in allowing strict Islamic law to govern many aspects of daily life and called on the U.S. government to reject Pakistan's appeasement of such intolerant laws.
USCIRF Commissioner Nina Shea said it is difficult to imagine that a nation the U.S. considers an ally and financially supports would continue an official policy that legitimizes violence. Shea said she would like to learn what the Obama administration plans to do to curtail the region's religious persecutions.
But the Obama administration as well as the Pakistani government declined to participate in this week's hearing, a point that irritated several on the commission.
Today, extremist groups, with sympathy and support from religious schools in Pakistan, go around the country taking the law into their own hands under the banner of equalizing justice. To them, justice often means revenge killings done in the name of law and order. Targeted are Christians and other religious groups, forcing many religious minorities underground. Christians are fighting for their lives and being put on trial for their beliefs. Reports from Pakistan reveal that many Christians are beginning to dress and grow beards like Muslims just to blend in.
At the heart of these persecutions are the nation's blasphemy laws, which codifies the ability to punish someone for directly or indirectly going against the teachings of Islam. These laws continue to be used as a convenient, government-sanctioned form of coercion. Widely interpreted, Muslims even invoke the blasphemy law against other Muslims, as well as Christians, as a pretext for seizing another's property or settling power disputes.
Having the blasphemy laws approved by the state give legitimacy to the vigilante violence.
"They have a license to kill," said Shea.
The roots of such behavior can be found at thousands of government-sanctioned religious extremist schools. According to Shea, fanatical intolerance and the obligation to hate is being indoctrinated into an entire generation of Pakistanis, making jihadist ideology the state-approved curriculum in many of these schools. In other words, today's students could become tomorrow's terrorists.
But Azhar Hussain, an expert on Pakistan's religious schools with the International Center for Religion and Diplomacy, did provide some hope at this week's hearing. He said a small minority of the religious schools' teachers, trained under the strict Taliban traditions, have reached out in secret and asked to be included in interfaith workshops.
Hussain recounted the words of one Pakistani teacher after a recent workshop involving Christian leaders: "I have learned Quran all my life. I read it every day and I teach it to hundreds of kids. Before this workshop and this engagement, I never knew many of the [chapters] actually meant to create peace and harmony with minority groups. I was taught . . . a fear of other, and there was no mention of coexistence, which the Quran is all about, from what I can see from this workshop."

They Can Do It All Now
Takata AG, a European provider of safety systems and components for the automotive industry, needed to integrate, control, and monitor all processes across their value chain.
They needed to manage data interchanges with all customers, suppliers, and partners; handle the mappings required for various transaction standards and communication protocols; and send and receive a variety of industry-standard messages (e.g., just-in-time [JIT], just-in-sequence [JIS], etc.).
They needed total visibility via system dashboards and the ability to monitor traffic coming from and going to their value-added network (VAN) provider.
They even needed to be able to implement additional dashboards on their own.
They can do it all now.
If a VAN invoice is wrong, they can give their VAN provider a precise accounting of the data sent and the data received.
To avoid late fees and other penalties, they can monitor time-sensitive messages.
They can define mappings themselves and modify existing mappings when a customer changes something in the structure or content.
Let's see how they made it happen: click here for the free case study!

More than 200 confirmed cases of measles on Merseyside have contributed to the worst outbreak of the disease since 1988, according to the Health Protection Agency.
The independent body said there have been 214 laboratory-confirmed cases since January, while 92 probable cases are being investigated.
It is the worst outbreak in the metropolitan area since the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine was introduced in 1988 and at least 39 of the confirmed cases have needed treatment in hospital.
Half the cases registered on Merseyside so far this year are children under the age of five, with another 30% aged 15 or over.
The majority of the confirmed cases have been in Liverpool and neighbouring areas such as Knowsley and Sefton.
Measles is a "very infectious" illness which spreads quickly among children and adults who are not vaccinated, and can
lead to serious complications and, on rare occasions, death.
Symptoms include fever, cough, a runny nose, red eyes and a red rash.
Dr Roberto Vivancos, a consultant with the Health Protection Agency in Cheshire and Merseyside, said: "It is obvious from these statistics that people who are not fully vaccinated are not just at risk themselves, but they pose an infection risk to others, such as defenceless babies and toddlers who are too young to be vaccinated.
"Measles should not be treated lightly, but it is an avoidable illness and we strongly advise parents to ensure that their children are vaccinated.
"Our advice to unprotected teenagers and young adults is to arrange vaccination through your family doctor. It is never too late to be vaccinated."

Navajo Bridge - Marble Canyon Arizona - August 1948
Massai Point - view to west - Chiricahua National Monument
|Chiricahua National Monument Visitor Center
This is the Visitor Center at the Chiricahua National Monument. It was built by the CCC - the Civilian Conservation Corps. Although small, it had several DVD presentations, numerous informative displays and an excellent gift shop and book store. I bought the Butterflies in Arizona - a photographic guide www.amazon.com/Butterflies-Arizona-Photographic-Hank-Brod... and Intriguing Owls by Stan Tekiela www.amazon.com/Intriguing-Owls-Extraordinary-Images-Insig... for my daughter. I guess if you follow these references you can probably see my tastes in books. Over the Edge - Death in the Grand Canyon is an excellent book :) I went to Chiricahua National Monument for a weekend of hiking, camping and adventure. I had never been here even though I had heard a lot about it. A "Wonderland of Rocks" is waiting for you to explore at Chiricahua National Monument. This forest of rock spires was eroded from layers of ash deposited by the Turkey Creek Volcano eruption 27 million years ago. The 8 mile paved scenic drive and 18 miles of day-use hiking trails provide opportunities to discover the beauty, natural sounds, and inhabitants of this 11,985 acre site. Visit the Faraway Ranch Historic District to discover more about the people who have called this area home: Chiricahua Apaches, Buffalo Soldiers, Erickson and Stafford families. Chiricahua National Monument is a unit of the National Park Service. The monument is located approximately 36 miles (58 km) southeast of Willcox, Arizona. It preserves the remains of an immense volcanic eruption that shook the region some 27 million years ago. Called the Turkey Creek Caldera eruption, it eventually laid down two thousand feet of ash and pumice, highly siliceous in nature. This eventually hardened into rhyolite tuffs, and eroded into the natural features visible at the monument today. The national monument also preserves the Faraway Ranch, owned at one time by Swedish immigrants Neil and Emma Erickson. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiricahua_National_Monument www.nps.gov/chir/index.htm IMG_0026
