Brockton's Tempesta A Consistent Offensive Weapon For UMass Baseball Team
April 23, 2009
Adam Tempesta can clearly recall the first game of his University of Massachusetts baseball career on March 10, 2006.
The Brockton resident was in the starting lineup as a freshman second baseman for the Minutemen in the season opener against the University of South Florida.
"It was definitely a big adjustment,'' he said of going from Brockton High School to Div. 1 baseball. "I remember my first game, I was so nervous and I didn't get a hit.''
Tempesta went 0-for-4 in that collegiate debut, but once he broke through with a single the next day against USF, the nervousness disappeared and the hits just kept on coming.
Now a senior, Tempesta is second in career hits at the Amherst school with 206 and has been above .300 in all four seasons at UMass. He has had at least one hit in 121 of the 161 games he's played for the Minutemen.
With 21 games remaining in his career, Tempesta will likely finish second behind Muchie Dagliere (257 hits) on the school's all-time list, and he is just six doubles away from the school record of 50, held by Justin Howard.
"I probably wouldn't have expected this,'' said Tempesta, who should set UMass records for games played and at-bats. "I think I proved some people wrong. It's a pretty good honor (to get 200 hits). The other two guys (Dagliere and Bill Knight) who did it are pretty good players. I'm glad I could leave my mark here.''
Tempesta, who looked at Bryant University and Vermont before settling on UMass, has been a reliable contributor for the Minutemen, hitting .318 as a freshman and junior, .306 as a sophomore and .342 this season (39-for-114).
"He's done a great job,'' said UMass coach Mike Stone.
"He works so hard. He's got a lot of talent, he's got a good swing and he has good hands. He's always been a good hitter.''
Tempesta started all 44 games as a freshman, earning a spot on the Atlantic 10 Conference all-rookie team when he had 55 hits, including 16 doubles, and drove in 22 runs.
An upperclassmen was suspended for the opening five games of the season, and Tempesta moved into his spot in the lineup and never departed.
"I obviously wanted to get in there and win a spot and play, but I thought I might be getting playing time here and there as a freshman'' said Tempesta, who was recruited as a shortstop but made the move right away to second base.
"I was just trying to learn the ropes to play baseball at the college level. I struggled a little bit at first, but I ended up getting the hang of it.''
Tempesta suffered a broken left hand during an indoor preseason practice session in his sophomore year.
He was covering first base on a bunt drill, and while trying to grab a wide throw, broke the hand in a collision with a runner.
The injury forced Tempesta to miss only the season opener, and he had 57 hits, including six doubles, while driving in 22 runs.
"It was kind of tough to get going,'' said Tempesta, whose older brothers, Nick (a Div. 3 All-America at Eastern Connecticut State) and Bryon (Bridgewater State) also played college baseball.
"I still got some hits here and there, but I think I could have done better if maybe I didn't break my hand.
"I ended up missing the first game and that was it. I was able to play through it. Once I got used to the way the tape felt, I was able to just get through it.''
Tempesta, a career .317 hitter, played his junior season with a double-sided sports hernia that required surgery last July after he had 55 hits, including 13 doubles and two homers, and drove in a team-leading 45 runs.
He gave no consideration to sitting out even a portion of last season and dealt with the ailment while playing.
"I wouldn't let that happen,'' said Tempesta of not playing.
"The doctor told me I could play through it and just tough it out and get to the surgery after.
"I just had to sit out last fall and some of the winter before this season.''
Said Stone: "He's been through some tough injuries. Playing with a sports hernia, that's tough to do. We've got guys perfectly healthy and he was outhustling them. He runs every ball out, plays every game at 100 percent, full speed.''
Tempesta, who hopes to play at the professional level, returned to Brockton last week when UMass defeated Boston College in the semifinal round of the Beanpot Tournament at Campanelli Stadium.
"That was probably my top memory of being here at UMass for four years, besides winning the Beanpot (in 2008),'' said Tempesta.
"It was awesome to come back and see my friends and family and get a big win. It brought back a lot of memories, especially just getting on the field and looking up at the concourse and seeing that `Boxer Tough' painted on the wall. It was pretty exciting.''

Ok, so this is something that's always bothered me. The tree data structures I know of are:
- Unbalanced binary trees
- AVL trees
- Red-black trees
- 2-3 trees
- B-trees
- B*-trees
- Tries
- Heaps
How do I determine what kind of tree is the best tool for the job? Obviously heaps are canonically used to form priority queues. But the rest of them just seem to be different ways of doing the same thing. Is there any way to choose the best one for the job?

Tagline: Good Cop. Mad Cop.
Synopsis: Uptight and straight-laced, FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn is a methodical investigator with a reputation for excellence--and hyper-arrogance. Shannon Mullins, one of Boston P.D.'s "finest," is foul-mouthed and has a very short fuse, and uses her gut instinct and street smarts to catch the most elusive criminals. Neither has ever had a partner, or a friend for that matter. When these two wildly incompatible law officers join forces to bring down a ruthless drug lord, they become the last thing anyone expected: Buddies.
Sometimes it's hard to tell if the buzz around an actor or actress exists simply among entertainment writers or has currency in the real world. And so, when Melissa McCarthy broke out in 2011 with "Bridesmaids," earning an Oscar nomination (among other accolades) it remained to be seen if that succe...Read More »
Far be it from us to question Hollywood wisdom, as we can easily see why Fox executives want more from "The Heat." The summer comedy was a smash hit at home, taking in over $155 million on its way to $229 million worldwide. And while there was some talk of a sequel, Sandra Bullock has been wary. Ear...Read More »
Well, apparently once was enough for Sandra Bullock: while talking with Entertainment Weekly about her upcoming sci-fi mind-bender "Gravity," the Oscar-winning actress said that it was unlikely she would return for a sequel to her summer sleeper hit "The Heat." "I know they say never say never, but ...Read More »
As we've already observed, it's not a great summer for women in the movies. And now, Vulture's Amanda Dobbins has the graphs to prove it. The percentage of movies featuring one woman in a co-starring role, more than one woman in a co-starring role, and a woman in a starring role has noticeably gone ...Read More »
Melissa McCarthy stars, but it's supporting turns from Rose Byrne, Jason Statham and many others that make this spy spoof sing.Read More »
This weekend, the movie to see is Paul Feig's buddy cop comedy "The Heat" starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy, but you may want to skip Roland Emmerich's latest blow-em-up spectacle "White House Down."Read More »
It isn't maybe halfway through "The Heat" when you realize its purpose for existing isn't for the freshest reasons. Paul Feig's new cop comedy, a spiritual follow-up to his brassy "Bridesmaids," seems heavily indebted to pretty much every cop comedy you've ever seen, Feig dutifully playing the hits ...Read More »

Set Up
This wiki page assumes that you have access to an Intel-based processor, the gnu-cc compiler, and octave (an Open Source version of MATLAB that is part of a typical Linux or Unix install).
To be able to follow along with the below examples, you will want to download some routines, as described on the Set Up page.
Make sure that the makefile starts with the following lines:
OLD := MMult0 NEW := MMult0
This indicates that the performance of the version of matrix-matrix multiplication in MMult0.c is measured (by virtue of the statement OLD :=0).
Next, to make sure that when plotting the graphs are properly scaled, set certain parameters in the file proc_parameters.m. See the comments in that file. (Setting these parameters will ensure that when plotting the y-axis ranges from 0 to the peak performance of the architecture.)
Picking the right clock speed is a bit tricky, given that modern architectures have something called 'turbo boost' which changes the clock speed. For example, the Intel i5 core in my laptop has a clock speed of 1.7 GHz, but a turbo boost rate of 2.6 GHz. I chose to indicate in proc_parameters.m that the processor has a clock speed of 2.6 GHz, since otherwise some of the results would show that the implementation attains greater than the peak speed of the processor...
make run
This will compile, link, and execute the test driver, linking to the implementation in MMult0.c. The performance data is saved in file output0.m.
more output0.m
This will display the contents of the output file output_MMult0.m. It should look something like
version = 'MMult0'; MY_MMult = [ 40 1.163636e+00 0.000000e+00 80 8.827586e-01 0.000000e+00 120 1.289071e+00 0.000000e+00 160 1.200469e+00 0.000000e+00 200 1.195100e+00 0.000000e+00 240 1.211038e+00 0.000000e+00 [ lines deleted ] 720 2.096185e-01 0.000000e+00 760 2.116985e-01 0.000000e+00 800 2.115609e-01 0.000000e+00 ]; ];
The first column equals the problem size. The second column the performance (in Gflops) when a matrix-matrix multiply with the indicated problem size m=n=k is executed. The last column reports the maximum absolute difference encountered between the implementation in REF_MMult.c and MMult0.c. It should be close to 0.00000e+00 although as different optimizations are added the difference may not be perfectly zero.
This will start up octave. Then, in octave,
octave:1> PlotAll % this will create the plot
I usually start up a separate xterm session, in which I keep octave running, so that every time I want to make a new graph, I can just execute 'PlotAll' in that session.
The performance graph (on my 1.7GHz Intel Core i5 MacBook Air) looks something like
Notice that the two curves are right on top of each other because data for the same implementation are being compared. From the fact that the top of the graph represents peak performance, it is obvious that this simple implementation achieves only a fraction of the ideal performance.
A question, of course is, is this the best we can do? We are going to walk through a sequence of optimizations, culminating in performance marked by "NEW" in the following graph:
Step-by-step optimizations
We will now lead the visitor through a series of optimizations. In some cases, a new implementation (optimization) merely is a small step in the right direction. We change the code a little at a time in order to be able to make sure it remains correct.
Computing four elements of C at a time
Hiding computation in a subroutine
We first rewrite the basic implementation to hide the inner loop in a subroutine, AddDot:
Optimization 1 (Click on the link!!!! Links are in gray)
This does not yield better performance:
It does set us up for the next step.
Computing four elements at a time
We compute C four elements at a time in a subroutine, AddDot1x4, which performs four inner products at a time:
- Now we inline the four separate inner products and fuse the loops into one, thereby computing the four inner products simultaneously in one loop:
At this point, we are starting to see some performance improvements:
Further optimizing
- We accumulate the elements of C in registers and use a register for elements of A
- We use pointers to address elements in B
- We unroll the loop by four (a relatively arbitrary choice of unrolling factor)
- We use indirect addressing to reduce the number of times the pointers need to be updated
There is considerable improvement for problem sizes that fit (at least partially) in the L2 cache. Still, there is a lot of room for improvement.
Computing a 4 x 4 block of C at a time
We now compute a 4 x 4 block of C at a time in order to use vector instructions and vector registers effectively. The idea is as follows: There are special instructions as part of the SSE3 instruction set that allow one to perform two 'multiply accumulate' operations (two multiplies and two adds) per clock cycle for a total of four floating point operations per clock cycle. To use these, one has to place data in 'vector registers'. There are sixteen of these, each of which can hold two double precision numbers. So, we can keep 32 double precision numbers in registers. We will use sixteen of these to hold elements of C, a 4 x 4 block.
Repeating the same optimizations
We compute C four elements at a time in a subroutine, AddDot4x4, which performs sixteen inner products at a time:
- Now we inline the sixteen separate inner products and fuse the loops into one, thereby computing the sixteen inner products simultaneously in one loop:
At this point, we are again starting to see some performance improvements:
- We accumulate the elements of C in registers and use a register for elements of A
- We use pointers to address elements in B
Further optimizing
We now start optimizing differently as we did for the 1x4 case.
- We store a row of k x 4 matrix B in registers
- Notice that we now use MANY more regular registers than physically available...
- We rearrange the computation so that two rows of 4x4 block of C are computed at a time.
- We use vector registers and vector operations.
We notice a considerable performance boost:
Still, there is a lot of room for improvement.
Blocking to maintain performance
- In order to maintain the performance attained for smaller problem sizes, we block matrix C (and A and B correspondingly):
Now, performance is maintained:
Packing into contiguous memory
- First, we pack the block of A so that we march through it contiguously.
- This yields a surprisingly large performance boost:
- Finally, we pack the block of B so that we march through it contiguously.
We now attain 90% of the turbo boost peak of the processor!

Family park, beautiful location, bordering beach and forest. New clubhouse, restaurant, games room, play park. Tourers welcome. Hire fleet.
climbing facilities nearby
Kids club
: August in 2011
Just returned from Shell Bay Caravan Park, glad to be home.
Toilets are filthy and do not flush properly. One toilet/shower block only. Pitches for touring caravans are very, very small, with a free for all on parking cars.
Touring caravans and tents cover every square metre of the touring area which in my opinion needs upgrading if they are to continue to charge £23 per night for a electric hook up only.
Won't be back.
PS I think sitefinder are still awaiting photo because it resembles a council tip.
Just returned from Shell Bay after spending 3 days there.
Reception staff very helpful, the original pitch they gave to us was small and right next to the road (D23). Spoke to the reception and they gave us a new pitch without any bother.
Very windy had to put the awning away now I know why most people had storm straps !
Lovely site not that busy when we where there, great walks along the coastal path.
Toilets and shower area clean as was the dishwashing area.
There is a club house, restaurant and games room they looked nice, however can't comment on them as we did not use them. Also a children's play area.
Ideal place for touring the surrounding areas of Anstruther for the award winning Fish and Chip bar, Pittenween and St Monans lovely harbour areas.
The only negative I can say is that the pitches could be levelled out.

Joe Biden: 'If You Want to Protect Yourself, Buy a Shotgun'
At a roundtable discussion yesterday about gun control, Vice President Joe Biden said people who are worried about protecting themselves at home should simply buy a shotgun. His overall point, it seems, was
that a person doesn't need a semi-automatic weapon like an AR-15 to protect oneself and his or her property.
Biden said he keeps two shotguns in a locked cabinet at his home in Delaware.
"We live in an area that's wooded and secluded," Biden said. "I said, Jill, if there's ever a problem just walk out on the balcony here ... put that double-barreled shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house. I promise you whoever's coming in is not gonna. You don't need an AR-15 (assault rifle). It's harder to aim. It's harder to use and in fact you don't need 30 rounds to protect yourself."
The Obama administration is calling for Congress to renew the federal assault weapons ban.

My wife and I want to get a tandem bike and begin riding together. Before I make the purchase, I have a question. What is the best way to transport a tandem bike? It seems too long and heavy for my bike rack. What are some of the racks that are currently being used? I drive a Pontiac Vibe so I don't know if a roof rack is an option.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This isn't a powerful potion for anyone's skin, not only because of its lackluster formula, but also because it does not contain sunscreen, a powerful, integral daytime ally. Interestingly, the formula contains a couple of sunscreen ingredients, but they're not listed as active and this product does not list an SPF rating. Advertising "sun filters" is not enough, and runs afoul of Health Canada regulations, not to mention that you have no idea how much protection you're getting (it could be an SPF 2 or 4, which is dangerous for skin) and that isn't smart skin care. There are some meaningful ingredients in this moisturizer for normal to slightly dry skin, but there are more problematic ingredients, which doesn't tip the scale in favor of investing in this pricey product. By the way, nothing in this moisturizer gives it an edge for mature skin or any age group for that matter. If it were better formulated it would be great for normal to dry skin regardless of your birthday.
Morning Potion Power Creme provides a unique and global skincare solution for mature skin. This most complete formula fights adverse effects associated with declining hormone levels: skin thinning, dehydration and fragility. It delivers a powerful nutrient-rich concentrate that helps skin become revitalized, denser, sublimely moisturized.

Lise Watier Skin Care At-A-Glance
Strengths: Some good cleansers, cleansing cloths, and makeup removers; decent (but could be lots better) moisturizers, particularly for dry skin; every sunscreen includes the right UVA-protecting ingredients (though some products that contain sunscreen ingredients have no SPF rating, so they can't be trusted); the vitamin C and retinol capsules; mostly elegant yet functional packaging that keeps sensitive ingredients stable; the oil-blotting papers.
Weaknesses: Some products are expensive given what you get; the toners are average to poor; repetitive moisturizer formulas with differing claims; gimmicky eye patches; no AHA or BHA products; no skin-lightening options; no anti-acne products.
If you're not a Canadian cosmetics consumer you likely have no idea who Lise Watier is. We had no idea, either, despite having seen their products in drugstores and select department stores throughout Canada. Reader interest in this cosmetics line (only the skin care is reviewed on Beautypedia; the brand sells makeup, too) is what prompted us to finally stop and pay attention. Regrettably, this isn't a garden of roses; Lise Watier is a rather dull line with few positives and definitely nothing novel or exciting. In fact, this line's shortcomings are glaringly apparent.
The name and personality behind the line, Lise Watier, is definitely the most interesting facet of these products. Watier began her career in the 1960s by hosting Canadian television shows aimed at women. As she became more popular and recognized for her outspoken nature (and some would say feminist viewpoint), women started writing to her for advice on a wide variety of topics. Her desire to help women find their uniqueness led to her opening a namesake institute that offered women lessons on personal growth … and makeup. It was pop psychology mixed with pops of color. Now that's a unique way to begin a cosmetics line!
Without question, personal growth and personal appearance are linked together by self-esteem, and Watier enhanced this with personal style and makeup application. Given the success of her institute, it wasn't long before Watier launched her own makeup products, along with a message that coincided with the times, and that still resonates today—beauty without rules or limitations. Watier's Montreal-based business continues to thrive in Canada, and the line has expanded beyond color to offer a range of skin-care and fragrance products.
If you're looking to support Watier and her "movement," she offers some viable skin-care products, including some good cleansers, sunscreens, and moisturizers. What's troublesome is twofold: First, the claims for many of the products make false promises that relate more to fantasy than to personal growth (it's one thing to encourage self-confidence in a woman; it's another to send her down a rose garden path that's lined with bogus information and deceptive twists and turns). Second, there are also several omissions that make is impossible to assemble a complete skin-care routine. For example, you won't find gentle exfoliants, there are no products to lighten skin discolorations, and if you're dealing with acne or you need soothing products for rosacea, you're out of luck.

This plan is for students who wish to eat only at Hillel, and who do not want to eat at the University cafeterias. Select the kosher plan on the University Housing website, and then transfer that plan to Hillel by paying the board portion of your University Housing charges to Hillel and signing a Kosher Meal Plan contract. You will receive a rebate from the University of Michigan on a pro-rated basis, effective the date of this contract, after the University has received a copy.
The cost per semester is $2073 and must be paid within the first month of each semester. This is identical in cost to the University's meal plan.

We also accept Visa and MasterCard; space is provided at the bottom of this contract if you prefer this payment option.
You may make changes in your meal plan choice as follows: fall term modifications may be made through September 30, 2015, winter term modifications may be made through January 31, 2016. You must always be on either the University's meal plan or Hillel's meal plan while you live in a residence hall. Meal plan contracts that are signed in the fall will automatically continue through winter term, unless changed by contract. Meals are not transferable to other people.

Moonlight Online Review – When Werewolves and Vampires Collide
Posted on: Apr 18, 2013
One of our chief game designers is a huge fan of vampires and had always dreamt of creating a game with vampires as protagonists.
The development team behind IGG's first vampire-themed MMORPG, Moonlight Online, is hard at work on the game. They took just enough time out to send along details about the dynamics of character movement and the concepts behind the Moonlight universe and its inhabitants, so sit back and enjoy!

Thank you
July 28, 2011 - Heather Ziegler
I knew the greater Wheeling community had a big heart, but I didn't know how big until last Sunday. The number of people -- especially families with young children -- who turned out to pay their respects to Capt. David VanCamp was amazing and beautiful. VanCamp died while serving his country in Iraq. His parents and wife and other family members had to know how much other Americans shared in their loss and how proud they are to call him an American hero. I hope the turnout gave the family some peace in this terrible time of loss. When I saw the number of motorcycle riders who escorted the hearse, I cried. What a moving moment it was to experience that. It was very humbling to know that many people -- strangers in fact -- took the time to bring a hero home. A big thanks goes out to all who took the time to care. I understand there wasn't a flag left on the shelves of stores in Wheeling Sunday. Let's not put them away. Keep them flying at your homes and businesses. Patriotism isn't just for special occasions. It should be everyday.

Enjoy the benefits whilst supporting us...
The last eighteen months have been the most critical, tough, and dynamic that the theatre has ever known. In October 2010, with a squeeze on funding support, we had to save an additional £35,000 a year.This meant we had to reduce our core staff to just six people. We were all emptying the bins and washing glasses behind the bar for a while. In spite of this we have done more, produced more and entertained more in the last year than ever before. Though we still operate under great financial pressure, ours is a true success story. So far in 2012 we have:
- increased the number of resident artist companies huddled together in our Drummond Room office to three. (Gomito, Live Canon and Simply Told Productions)
- seen over 20,000 people come to our pantomime Aladdin
- created the biggest ever Greenwich Children's Theatre Festival in venues across Greenwich
- won an award for our environmental care and energy efficiency
- taken audiences across the Thames to our production of Balthazar's Bazaar and taken another Associate Artist across the Atlantic Ocean to perform Pakita in New York
This work would not be possible without the support of our Friends. To become a part of our growing success story, you too can become a Friend - and in return we will offer you:
- 50% discount on your ticket to productions* at Greenwich Theatre including, for the first time ever, our much celebrated pantomime
- A complimentary tickets to our Edinburgh Festival Highlights Festival or a show we've selected during the year
- Priority booking on selected events and high demand shows
All for just £40 - so if you're booking 4 shows at £20 per ticket you can get all of this for no extra cost! You can purchase a Friend's membership by clicking here, by calling the box office on 020 8858 7755 or by dropping in to see us.
*Occasionally we rent the theatre to private companies for special events, we can't guarantee access to these tickets.

Sunderland Association Football Club Current Players
- Position:Midfielder
- Origin:England
- Height(cm):183
- Weight(kg):82
- Join Date:14/08/2014
* On loan at Birmingham City
Will swapped the south coast for the north east in August 2014, joining Sunderland from Brighton & Hove Albion on a three-year deal.
His move saw him become the second player to move from Brighton following Liam Bridcutt's arrival in January 2014, reuniting with former boss Gus Poyet.
Buckley started his career with Rochdale, making his debut in 2008 in a 4-2 defeat to Hereford United.
He featured at Wembley at the end of his breakthrough campaign, but he was unable to help Rochdale to promotion as Southport clinched a 3-2 play-off final win.
His first professional goal came in a 2-2 away draw against Rotherham United, and his consistently positive performances led to a move to Watford in January 2010.
Buckley made his Hornets debut on 21st March 2010 in a 3-1 defeat to Cardiff City, scoring his first goal 13-days later in a 1-1 draw against Preston North End.
On June 6th 2011 Buckley was signed by Gus Poyet, joining Brighton who reportedly smashed their record transfer fee with a £1m deal.
He scored his first and second Brighton goals in a dramatic 2-1 win over Doncaster Rovers, with his winning goal coming eight minutes into stoppage time to give Brighton their first win at the Amex Stadium.
Buckley was then a regular in Brighton's team, notching 34 appearances and three goals in the 2013-14 season as the Seagulls were beaten by Derby County in the play-off semi-finals.
The winger made his Sunderland debut against West Bromwich Albion before producing a man of the match performance against Manchester United, and in total he featured 25 times during his debut season on Wearside.
Will joined Championship side Leeds United on loan in October 2015 and subsequently moved to Birmingham City the following January.

There's nothing wrong with flying first class, but coach fares have looked more appealing lately. The ongoing old battle between utility and extravagance becomes clearer during tough economic times. Consumers have cut back on big ticket items like new cars and high priced vacations outside the U.S. As the shift toward utility purchasing grows, investors should consider how a basket of consumer goods could balance their portfolios.
Everyday Goods
The Consumer Staples SPDR ETF (AMEX:XLP) covers a wide range of companies that produce everyday goods like medicines, colas, household items and personal products. Most investors probably have used at least one product or service offered by one of XLP's consumer goods holdings. Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG), Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) and Phillip Morris International (NYSE:PM) dominate more than one-third of the fund's portfolio. Therefore, it's time to take a look at a few of the companies that make up the XLP. (For more reading on ETFs, check out Five Ways to Find a Winning ETF.)
Goods For All Occasions
Whether it's the stuffy head fever reliever, NyQuil, the specially formulated baby clothing detergent, Dreft, or the snack attack satisfier, Pringles, Procter & Gamble is there to meet many consumer needs. However, the company is up only 4.5% over the past twelve months, while the SPDR S&P 500 Index ETF (AMEX:SPY) is up more than 20% over the same period. (For more, see A Guide To Investing In Consumer Staples)
Discount Leader
One-stop shop Wal-Mart is visited weekly by more than 100 million customers worldwide. Well-placed stores, fully-stocked shelves and low prices form a triple threat against competitors who wish to beat out the retail giant in the competition for consumers, who lately have focused spending more on food and household necessities, than extravagances.
Not Altria Anymore
Philip Morris International split away from its parent company Altria (NYSE:MO) in March of 2008. Philip Morris targets its tobacco products in the European Union, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Latin America. Philip Morris International stock has slightly underperformed the S&P500 with a twelve month performance of 21.19%. (For more on socially responsible investing, check out A Prelude to Sinful Investing.)
Final Thoughts
It's safe to say that the business of consumer staples and investing in them is boring to some people. The demand for these products does not swing up and down and they don't exhibit the flashy characteristics of their close relative, the consumer cyclical.
They do, however, offer investors an opportunity to diversify into a sector that is easy to understand, has a relatively low beta and a low correlation to the overall market. So the next time you go to buy a razor when the stock market is in a tailspin, take a look at the company that makes that razor: it might be a good time to buy its stock.

Barbara Joan Denker - June 12, 2012

She also enjoyed writing poetry, reading, and attending Omaha Performing Arts events, be it dance, or the symphony.

ST. LOUIS — For much of Saturday night's third game of the World Series, the St. Louis Cardinals seemed to be getting in their own way, letting two leads slip away and wasting repeated opportunities.
But in the end — a wildly controversial end — it was an obstruction call on Boston third baseman Will Middlebrooks for tripping a base runner that made the difference, allowing the Cardinals to celebrate an incredibly odd but extremely significant 5-4 victory.
"It's a tough way to have a game end," Boston manager John Farrell said. "Particularly of this significance."
The final sequence was set up when the Cardinals had runners on second and third with one out in the ninth.

John Jay hit a sharp ground ball that Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia made a diving stop on and threw to the plate to get Yadier Molina out. Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia then threw to third to try to nab Allen Craig, but the ball got by a diving Middlebrooks.
As Craig, just activated after missing seven weeks with a sprained foot, got up to head to the plate, Middlebrooks, lying face down, kicked up both legs and Craig tripped. Third-base umpire Jim Joyce immediately called obstruction, and though the play continued with the Sox initially celebrating throwing out Craig at the plate, home plate umpire Dana DeMuth acknowledged Joyce's call, determining that Craig otherwise would have scored. DeMuth immediately signaled safe, launching a bigger celebration from the Cardinals side.
"Not sure what happened," Cardinals closer Trevor Rosenthal said. "I'm just glad we won."
The obstruction was more a result of where Middlebrooks was than what he did, the umpires said, as the rule is designed to make sure the runner can proceed unimpeded, and that intent is not an issue.
"The feet didn't play too much into it," Joyce said.
Said Middlebrooks: "There wasn't really anywhere for me to go. I was trying to get to the ball. As I was getting up, he was trying to get over me."
Farrell was obviously frustrated.
"I don't know how he gets out of the way when he's lying on the ground and Craig trips over him," he said. "Tough pill to swallow."
The winning rally started when Molina slapped a one-out single to right. The Sox brought in closer Koji Uehara, who had been all but untouchable throughout the postseason, but Craig greeted him with a double.
Of the previous 55 Series tied 1-1, the team winning Game 3 has won the championship 37 times, including the past four times and 11 of 12.
The Cardinals took a 2-0 lead in the first, and the Sox rallied to tie with runs in the fifth and the sixth. The Cards went up 4-2 in the seventh, but the Red Sox came right back to even it up in the eighth.
In that inning, Boston took advantage of an odd play involving Cardinals rookie second baseman Kolten Wong. The Cardinals were already in trouble, as the Sox loaded the bases when Jacoby Ellsbury led off with a single, Shane Victorino was hit by another pitch and, with one out, David Ortiz was intentionally walked.
A double shift to bring in closer Rosenthal for a five-out save put Wong at second, and the ball quickly found him, hit sharply by Daniel Nava.
Wong made a tremendous one-hop stop but threw to second rather than first, and the relay for a double play was too late, allowing a run to score. Xander Bogaerts' single made it 4-4.

text: When I came out to my parents in my early 20's, it was not a big deal. I'd known I liked guys for a while, and had mainly waited because A) I was still sleeping with girls AND guys and B) I didn't want to tell them I was gay if I was single, because I knew that my good Jewish mother would think I was going to get AIDS and die. So I waited until I was dating David, a sweet actor in Los Angles whose main source of income was as David Spade's stand-in on the initial season of Just Shoot Me (yes, he did look a lot like him). At the time I was helping setup a theatrical production unit at the Walt Disney Company, and I remember calling my parents from my masouleum-quiet office on the Disney lot, with lovely downtown Burbank spread out below.

Innocent Flirting or Mental Foreplay?
Recently, I came across a guy who claimed to sincerely believe that flirting is not sexual. I have heard a lot of people use the phrase "innocent flirting", to mean flirting with no sexual intention/connotation.
What the heck is innocent flirting? The kind that you indulge in with someone of the same gender (assuming you are heterosexual) or the other gender (if you are homosexual)? The kind you would indulge in with a sibling or a close blood-relative? The kind you indulge in with a person whom you intensely dislike? Do you understand where I am going with this?
My point is that, we usually choose to flirt with the kind of people who are sexually oriented to us. By "people who are sexually oriented to us", I mean people who have 60% or more of the qualities which would allow us to have sex with them. We only flirt with the opposite gender if we are heterosexual, we flirt with the same gender if we are homosexual; we rarely flirt with people who are younger than or older than the age window within which we prefer to have sex; we almost never flirt with people whom we don't find attractive.
Gender, age and attraction are some of the most important criteria we use to choose the people with whom we have sex. If flirting was not about sex, why would there be very similar criteria for people whom we choose to just flirt with and people whom we choose to fantasize about/sleep with?
Even the very language of flirting is romantic and/or sexual. It may range all the way from being very obliquely romantic/sexual to blatantly romantic/sexual. But the romance and/or the sex is always there in the language. This is true of even the body language. The flirt and the "flirtee" display similar body language as a person who is being romantic/sexual with her/his lover. Even when the flirtee is not interested or dislikes the flirt, her/his reaction to the flirt is similar to her/his reaction to an unwanted suitor.
I don't think flirting is ever devoid of romance and sexuality. It may be true that the flirt and/or the flirtee have/has no conscious intention of taking things beyond verbal flirting. It may be that they don't really want to get physical. But I don't think the mind is truly devoid of the romance and the sexuality.
If someone thinks that they are flirting, and there are absolutely no sexual thoughts at any level in their mind, they are either deluding themselves or they are not flirting at all!
Flirting is the foreplay of the mind.
If it is true that sex is more in the mind, than in the body, then flirting is a much more significant and important act of foreplay than the actual physical foreplay.
Applying the Pareto Principle (or the 80-20 Rule): If one needs to score 100 points to have sexual intercourse with someone, 80 or more points are scored during mental foreplay (flirting), and only 20 or less points are scored during physical foreplay.
Flirting is almost purely about verbal communication. When future historians analyze the catalysts for the failure of the institution of marriage, an institution which seemed to control majority of the human society during a brief period of human history, they will conclude that the advancement in communication technologies (telephony, Internet, who knows what else will come in the future) was the main catalyst which broke the institution of marriage. Why? Advanced communication technologies enable mental foreplay, i.e. flirting, like never before! Naturally, this leads to more non-marital sex, than ever before!

I totally agree with this. Only single people should have the freedom to flirt. It's hurtful to the other person unless they're shallow or don't love their significant other. I know someone who calls it "innocent". It's a dark path that has no place in a mature, monogamous, relationship. I see it as cheating with your heart.ReplyDelete
its fun, funny, and intentionalReplyDelete
I am in love with an older woman who happens to be married. I am 25 and am bisexual.... I think she flirts with me but it could be friendliness? Should I just not say anything? I really love her so what do I do? I feel so suffocated and like I want to say something but I do not wanna make her uncomfortableReplyDelete
By the way, I am a woman.ReplyDelete

To The Editor: I have been receiving the Times-News since 1968. Two weeks ago in the Saturday edition, it was announced the TV listing would be in the Friday edition. That did not bother me, but you went on state the Billy Graham column would be on the same page as the comics. That did bother me.
It would have been better if you had not announced it at all.
Billy Graham's columns are very serious and should not be labeled as part of the comic section.
We Christians who are dedicated to reading his column would have found it in your paper anyway, without you categorizing his column along with the comics.

Billy Graham's column has always appeared on the same page as the comics. The announcement was to let readers know that the publication schedule for the column, previously Sunday through Friday, had changed to Saturday through Thursday.

Appeals court upholds attorney fee award
A federal appellate court has upheld a judge's ruling that awarded $60,000 in legal fees to an attorney who represented a Dunmore firefighter who sued the borough.
Attorney Cynthia Pollick of Pittston had sought $230,162 in attorney's fees for representing Robert Dee in his lawsuit, which alleged borough officials violated his civil rights when they suspended him in 2005 for failing to complete two weeks of required training. The suspension was soon overturned by council after it was determined he was exempt from the training.
A jury initially awarded Mr. Dee $150,000 in compensatory damages and $6,000 in punitive damages, but Senior U.S. District Judge A. Richard Caputo later reduced the award to $50,000 and no punitive damages. Mr. Dee appealed and was granted a new trial on the damages. A second jury came back and awarded him $47,500.
Under federal law, attorneys who represent defendants in civil rights cases are entitled to be compensated for each hour they worked on the case. The fee is separate and in addition to any monetary damages paid to the plaintiff.
Ms. Pollick appealed Judge Caputo's attorney fee award to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals, arguing the judge wrongly reduced the number of hours for which she was entitled to be compensated and erred by reducing the hourly rate from $300 to $250.
The court on Tuesday upheld Judge Caputo's decision.

The purpose of this collection of wills was to support the research needed to write the book entitled Families of Saint Mary's Episcopal Chapel, Orange County, North Carolina. I am posting these in the hopes that others will use the information to further their own research. There are also many names of slaves that will be of interest to African-American researchers delving into the lives of their enslaved ancestors.
To that end, you may freely use this information and the images found here in any way that you deem proper. I am releasing the information that I have written and organized into the public domain. This includes the will images, my transcriptions of them and the above book. If you would like to acknowledge that you got it from me, that would be nice. If not, I'm OK with that, too. If you want to download the images and create your own interpretation of a will, please do.
I have attempted to faithfully render word-for-word transcriptions. It seems to me that every single time I read over any one of these, I find errors, oversights, and typos in my transcription. If (when) you find defects please send me any corrections. Similarly, if you would like to submit genealogical information to annotate a transcription, I would be delighted to supplement the data that is here.

Slain Hamas Leader Tied to Arms Group
JERUSALEM—A top Hamas militant leader found dead in his Dubai hotel room on Jan. 20 was a key link in smuggling operations ferrying Iranian weapons to Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip, and replacing him could take months, current and former Israeli security officials said on Sunday.
Hamas has accused Israel of assassinating Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, 50 years old, and vowed revenge. Mahmoud al-Zahar, one of the movement's top Gaza-based leaders, warned Israel in an interview on Saturday with Al Jazeera that "Hamas can hit all Israeli targets abroad—anytime, anywhere." .
"Israel wants to change the rules of the game and to open the international field for battles— so it will be responsible for this," Mr. Zahar said.
Israel declined to comment.
Mr. Mahbouh was a founding member of the movement's military wing, the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades, which has carried out scores of attacks against Israel.
In 1989, Mr. Mabhouh plotted the kidnapping and killing of two Israeli soldiers, according to Israeli officials and Hamas's Web site.
He fled Gaza that year and settled in Damascus, where he rose through the ranks of the group's military leadership.
Col. Barak Ben-Zur, a senior official in Israel's internal Shin Bet security service until 2007, said that while in Damascus, Mr. Mabhouh became "very close to Khaled Meshal," Hamas's Damascus-based leader.
"He was one of the main figures in the military branch of Hamas," he said.
A senior Israeli defense official said Mr. Mabhouh, unlike other Hamas leaders, kept a very low profile, using fake names and avoiding the media.
As Hamas grew closer to Iran in recent years, Mr. Mabhouh came to play a critical liaison role between Hamas militants in Gaza and Iran, including orchestrating weapons deliveries to Gaza-based militants, the official said.
On Jan. 19, Mr. Mabhouh arrived in Dubai and checked into the five-star Bustan Rotana hotel, located near the Dubai airport, according to Hamas officials and local Dubai media.
A spokesman for Hamas in Damascus told the Associated Press that Mr. Mabhouh was laying over in Dubai on his way from Syria to an unspecified third country.
But the following day, he was found dead in his hotel room. Mr. Mabhouh's death became public on Friday, a day after his body was returned to Damascus.
On Saturday, Dubai's police chief, Dhahi Khalfan, told Al Jazeera that he couldn't exclude the possibility that Israel's Mossad intelligence agency was behind Mr. Mabhouh's death, which he said occurred by suffocation.
Dubai security officials, meanwhile, told the state news agency that an "experienced criminal gang" with European passports committed the murder, but said the perpetrators had already fled the country.
The Israeli defense official said Mr. Mahbouh's death would deal a serious setback to smuggling efforts by Hamas.
"The fact that this guy is dead, I think it will only make the situation in our area much better," the official said.
"It won't be easy to replace him because these guys live in secret, all their connections are in secret, so you can't just replace him the next day. It can take a few months and sometimes much longer," the official added.
In recent months, there have been a string of attacks in Lebanon, Syria and Sudan that appeared to target people involved in smuggling weapons to Israel's top two Iran-backed enemies, Hamas and Hezbollah.
Israel has maintained a policy of not commenting on the attacks, but also of not discouraging reports suggesting it is responsible.
For example, a number of Israeli cabinet ministers on Sunday responded to questions from Israeli media about the death of Mr. Mahbouh by refusing to comment, but then offering unsolicited praise for Mossad chief Meir Dagan.
Analysts say the policy of ambiguity allows Israel to increase its deterrence by taking credit for the attacks, even those it may have had nothing to do with, while avoiding international repercussions.

Rain and Sleep
by tatenda
You examine the front and then look at the palm. The fingers clench tightly into a fist and in the blink of an eye– an open hand. Explaining how one does this is not a conversation most people even bother having.
Snapping out of a random thought and blinking my eyes, I focused my vision into the dark corners in my room. I could not make out any shapes. A car hummed along the street outside– occasionally the occupant's bass booming a familiar song. Even nature herself would prevent utter silence when thunder reminded me it was a storm outside. It would be easier to sleep tonight. I had always loved the sound of rain and thunder when sleeping. Googling my love for rain I found out this was not unique to me. I tend to Google random things sometimes, its humbling how accessible information is these days, all kinds.
Humming and a blue light signified a message on my cellphone. Sighing and smiling under the sheets I realized I would not be busy tomorrow. A free day.
Shivering under the sheets I curled up trying to force myself to sleep. Because of the fury outside, my room occasionally lit into an incandescent box, all the shadows and objects washed in hot bright light. I promised myself I would take it easy tomorrow, the last few days had been hectic.
My heavy eyes warned me of sleep's coming seduction. Just to make sure and sliding my hand under my pillow, I felt assurance one more time. It was unmistakable. The metallic curves, the hair of a trigger, a USP 9 millimeter. I was never going to be hungry again. Growing up my parents had told me about how jobs had existed when they were young. Life in 2064 was very different, I smiled at the memory.
I was twenty-nine and bounty hunting illegals and criminals from Mars. My last thought was of the boy I had kicked into the gutter, I couldn't stomach drilling him so I fired near his head and kicked him in the chest. My stomach heaved– guilt? Closing my eyes I focused on the sound of rain.

In the production of biologics, various development activities require different medium requirements, calling for multiple media. Transitioning from one medium to another typically poses a certain level of risk. BalanCD® CHO Growth A was designed as a high‐performance CHO production medium for batch and fed‐batch processes, however its ability to support other cell line development activities was untested. In this study, the potential of this medium in supporting cell line development activities and scalability to large‐scale production was evaluated. The results demonstrate the additional utility of this medium as a cloning medium and proved its scalability from the 96‐well plate all the way to the 2000L scale. Its compatibility and superior performance in supporting clonalcell selection and expansion assures a seamless transition from one stage of development to the next.The ability to use a single, chemically‐defined medium mitigates the risk involved with switching media throughout development, and shortens development time. With the multitude of commercially available production media and relative scarcity of subcloningmedia, BalanCD CHO Growth A represents a unique, chemically‐defined, and platform‐ready solution for the production of biologics.

NEW YORK (AP) — Vanessa Williams wants to stay up after midnight.
The actress, singer and former Miss America watched the matinee performance of "After Midnight" on Wednesday and then broke it to the cast backstage that she has signed up for a stint in the Broadway show celebrating Duke Ellington's years at the Cotton Club nightclub.
Says Williams: "It's an honor to jump in. It's a well-oiled machine, up and running and I think it'll be a perfect fit.
Williams, who next month turns 50, will start as a guest vocalist on April 1 and end May 11, replacing Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds and Toni Braxton, who in turn replaced k.d. lang.
