Best car for the buck
By benczik on
Vehicle2000 Chevrolet Metro 2dr Hatchback
ReviewI bought this car with 69,000 on it and it has 97,000 now. The way the car is performing I would not doubt that it may reach 200,000. Engine is spotless. I heard my pastor's wife say right next to me not knowing it was mine that it was a very quiet car. Made me feel proud. Not to mention getting 53 mpg consistently and a/c still works. I prayed for 2 weeks for a 3 cylinder 5 speed metro at a time when very few were selling them because of fuel prices. I did find some for sale on eBay but did not want to go out of state. Then this car showed up about 2 1/2 miles from my house. The guy said he just showed up with it one hour ago. Paid 2,700. It is just like I wanted but better. Will never sell it!
Worst FeaturesThe only improvement I can think of is they need to bring this little car back. They stopped making them in 2001. Very affordable. As you can see I thought it was worth my time in writing this much in hopes that people who own a Metro will keep this little car alive for as long as possible.

Long received the Alfred Einstein Award of the American Musicological Society for his article "Symbol and Ritual in Josquin's Missa Di Dadi." Recent essays have investigated the artifacts of fourteenth-century music pedagogy and music as a metaphor within medieval discourses of financial ethics. In his book, Beautiful Monsters: Imagining the Classic in Musical Media, Long brought his medievalist's perspective to another area of interest: twentieth-century musical vernaculars, including Hollywood film music and classic rock.Beautiful Monsters received the Otto Kinkeldey Award of the American Musicological Society (AMS) in 2009. Among his current projects are essays on hearing and listening in the fifteenth century, the modern and postmodern reception of Guillaume de Machaut, and a book exploring film scoring and the visionary experience. A recipient of the State University of New York Chancellor's Award for excellence in teaching, Long previously held the Ziegele Chair in Music Scholarship at the University at Buffalo, where he directed the musicology program.

I am a historian of late imperial China and environmental history. My current book manuscript, Inventing Nature in the Qing Empire, studies the nexus of empire, environment, and market that defined Qing China in 1750-1850, when unprecedented commercial expansion and a rush for natural resources transformed the ecology of China and its borderlands. That boom, no less than todays, had profound institutional, ideological, and environmental causes and consequences. Indeed, the boom years witnessed a reinvention of nature itself. Early modern wilderness was not a state of nature: it reflected the nature of the state. My research builds from experience in the PRC, Taiwan, and Mongolia. I work with Chinese, Manchu, and Mongolian language archives, love the study of material objects, and am drawn to the global dimensions of Chinas environmental history.

Inmate Walkaway from Owens Valley Conservation Camp in 2011 Apprehended
LOS ANGELES – An inmate who walked away from Owens Valley Conservation Camp in 2011 was taken into California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) custody after being arrested by the Los Angeles County Sheriff during a sting operation.
Yahua Yang, 40, walked away from Owens Valley Conservation Camp in Bishop on March 17, 2011 and had since been at-large. Yang was arrested in Rosemead, California under the alias of Gvosheng Wu Zhong when he and three Mexican nationals were attempting to purchase 15 kilos of cocaine on January 27, 2015. Yang was booked into LA County Jail and held on a million dollars bail. Yang was subsequently released on bail prior to his true identity being discovered and given a court date for his new charges.
Yang was one-year and four months into a seven-year sentence from Los Angeles County for possession of a controlled substance for sale when he walked away.
CDCR special agents and local law enforcement arrested Yang immediately following his arraignment on his new charges. CDCR Special Services Unit agents transported Yang to California Institution for Men in Chino where he will be housed in the prison's administrative segregation unit. In addition to serving out his initial sentence, Yang could face new felony charges for escape.
Of all offenders who have escaped from an adult institution, camp or community-based program since 1977, 98.7 percent have been apprehended.

RJ Donovan Correctional Officer Recovering from Inmate Assault
SAN DIEGO – A correctional officer was treated for injuries suffered from an attack by an inmate at Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility (RJDCF).
At 8:05 p.m. Feb. 8, as inmates in a Facility D housing unit were receiving medication, inmate Jason Harmon, 37, rushed at a correctional officer with a weapon in his right hand. He struck the officer in his chest with the pointed end of the weapon, making contact with the officer's stab-resistant vest. Harmon, resisting the officer's efforts to subdue him, continued his attack. Additional officers rushed to assist, and were able to quell the attack and recover the inmate-manufactured weapon.
Harmon was received by CDCR on Feb. 1, 2011, from Riverside County to serve a life sentence for attempted first-degree murder of a peace officer, assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer, carjacking, buying or receiving stolen equipment and evading a peace officer while driving recklessly.
The officer, 27, was transported to a local hospital, where he was treated for minor bruises and scrapes. Inmate Harmon was transported to a local hospital for treatment of a head laceration and possible hand fracture, and has been re-housed in the Administrative Segregation Unit. Inmate movement on D Facility has been limited pending an investigation into this incident.
The primary mission of the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility is to provide housing and supervision for minimum- to high-security inmates. Designed as a training and work-oriented facility, RJDCF provides vocational, academic and industrial programs.

Homicide of California State Prison-Sacramento Inmate Under Investigation
FOLSOM – California State Prison-Sacramento (SAC) is investigating an incident that left one inmate dead.
At 9:55 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 3, inmate Roberto Baldizon, 35, was discovered in his cell inside the prison's maximum-security housing with multiple stab wounds. Baldizon was pronounced deceased at 10:27 a.m. Staff recovered one inmate-manufactured weapon at the scene. No staff members were injured in the incident.
SAC investigators have identified Baldizon's cellmate, Antolin Cepeda, 37, as a suspect in the attack. Cepeda was received from Los Angeles County on Jan. 28, 1997, to serve a life sentence for first-degree murder.
Baldizon was received from Los Angeles County on May 22, 2013, and was serving a 12-year sentence for assault with a deadly weapon.
SAC administrators have limited inmate movement on the facility where the incident occurred to facilitate the investigation. The Office of the Inspector General has been notified.
CSP-Sacramento is a multi-mission institution that houses approximately 2,100 inmates and employs more than 1,700 staff. Opened in 1986, the institution primarily houses maximum-security inmates serving long sentences and those who have proved to be management problems at other institutions.

Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge's largest public event of the year has been canceled due to the federal government shutdown.
The refuge's 20th Annual Fall Wildlife Festival was set for Saturday, Oct. 5, at the refuge near Zimmerman. But it was canceled as the entire refuge closed to the public on Oct. 1 when current funding expired.
"It is extremely disappointing," said Sue Hix, president of the Friends of Sherburne, which was co-sponsoring the event with the refuge. "We have a huge investment in this whole day."
She said previous wildlife festivals have attracted 1,600 to 1,800 people and they were hoping for a crowd of 2,000 this year. More than 100 volunteers were involved in the event.
The free wildlife festival was to feature live animals, horse-drawn wagon rides, nature crafts, face-painting, geocaching, educational events and food. Sparky Stensaas, a photographer, author and naturalist, was to share tips and tricks for getting great wildlife photos. The Friends of Sherburne also planned to host its first 5K run/walk as part of the festival. The Friends were able to order the T-shirts without the date on them so they will be able to use them at a later time, Hix said.
She noted that the cancellation has a ripple effect.
"All the people that would have come to our area and then they're going to need gas or food or they're going to go shopping, all that's gone now," she said.
Hix said they waited until 3 p.m. Wednesday to officially cancel the wildlife festival, just in case the shutdown would be resolved by then.
"It would have been a lot easier if we would have just said we'll pull the plug Tuesday morning when they were shutting the refuge down," Hix said. "But we just didn't want to do it. Sometimes miracles happen."
The wildlife festival is held annually in October in conjunction with National Wildlife Refuge Week, and a time when many refuges host events. "We're not the only refuge to have this problem, believe me," she said.

We present the results of a solid self-Raman laser based on a Nd:KGW crystal that is transversely pumped by laser diode bars. A beam of an eye-safe laser with a output energy and a pulse width was obtained by applying a special s-polarized reflective resonator configuration in which the length of the Raman resonator was shorter than that of the fundamental radiation resonator. The eye-safe laser has the highest output energy and the shortest pulse width among the Nd:KGW lasers ever reported.

Emerging Geopolitical Trends and Security in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the People's Republic of China, and India (ACI) Region
The rapid economic growth in the region consisting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the People's Republic of China (PRC), and India has begun to change the strategic landscape of the world. The accretion of military power that inevitably followed the region's economic growth is altering the balance of power within the region and between Asia and the West. This background paper outlines the geopolitical trends in a region that has become the center stage of international politics in the 21st century. It begins with a review of the idea of Asia in the 20th century and identifies the inherited political legacy of Asia in the middle of the 20th century. The paper then provides an assessment of the region's unfolding geopolitical transformation in recent years and asks if the regional structures in Asia can cope with it. The paper also explores the problems of integrating the two rising Asian powers, the PRC and India, into the structures of global governance. It concludes with a brief discussion on the strategic policy imperatives facing the ACI region.

Delta Air Lines plans to begin distributing Microsoft Surface 2 tablet computers to its Boeing 757 and 767 pilots beginning in January. Pilots will use the computing device as an electronic flight bag (EFB) to store electronic charts and documents, reducing weight and improving workflow on the flight deck, the airline said. Delta joins other U.S. carriers that have incorporated tablet computers in their flight decks. Delta is the first major airline to select Microsoft's Surface 2; other carriers, including United, Alaska and American, have selected the Apple iPad. The Federal Aviation Administration authorized American Airlines pilots to use iPads in all phases of flight in December 2011, making American the first carrier to use tablets for the full flight envelope. In June, the carrier completed the distribution of 8,000 iPads to its pilots.
"Delta has long been evaluating the different tablet devices that are on the market. It became apparent that the Surface 2 tablet gave us functionality above and beyond just an added electronic flight bag," said a spokesman. "It's a scalable device and a complete enterprise solution that will fit well in our IT environment." Using Surface 2 tablets as EFBs will allow Delta pilots to leave behind traditional flight bags weighing some 38 pounds, the carrier said. It expects the weight reduction realized by replacing paper charts and documents with EFBs will save it $13 million per year in fuel and associated costs. Delta aims to distribute 11,000 tablets to its pilots and make all of its flight decks "paperless" by the end of next year.
The carrier will initially use the tablets for storing charts and reference materials for use by pilots in non-critical flight phases. It expects to receive FAA approval to use the devices for all flight phases next year, following testing on 757s and 767s. Delta expects approvals for all subsequent fleet types by the end of next year. In coming years, Delta plans to expand the functionality of the EFB by providing pilots with electronic dispatch and flight release information, access to real-time weather forecasts and "dynamic" communication with aircraft technicians on the ground.
The Surface 2 will run on the Windows RT 8.1 platform and use the Jeppesen FliteDeck Pro application for Windows, providing access to real-time information such as dynamic charts. With the Windows operating system, pilots can open two applications side-by-side, displaying, for example, weather information alongside proposed flight paths. The tablet has a 10-hour battery life, according to Microsoft.
Delta said it also started supplying 19,000 flight attendants with Nokia Lumia 820 smartphones in August to access customer and flight information and process onboard customer purchases.

I'm sad to see that John Murtha, the Pennsylvania congressman and defense spending cardinal, has died after a long and productive life in government.
Whatever your views on Murtha — and as someone who grew up in southwest Pennsylvania, I certainly have my own opinions — this is very bad news for Johnstown, the main town in the district he represented for nearly 36 years. Because if there's one thing Murtha did, it was bring home the bacon. Millions of dollars of it.
There was the John P. Murtha Neuroscience and Pain Institute, the John P. Murtha Regional Cancer Center, the Joyce Murtha Breast Care Center, the John Murtha Johnstown-Cambria County Airport, and of course the John P. Murtha Institute for Homeland Security, to name but a few of the places, not to mention a number of defense contractors, kept afloat thanks to the congressman's mastery of the earmark system.The loss of a patron in Washington will be devastating.
Maybe, though, Johnstown will ultimately be better off without Murtha's largesse. The town was crushed by the collapse of the steel industry in the 1980s, and never really recovered. Murtha's projects, along with some telemarketing and retail business, were about the only source of employment the town of 24,000 had to offer. Yet household income is about half the national average, and the area school system is abysmal. Now, Johnstown will have to attract industry on the region's own merits, rather than relying on its powerful friend on Capitol Hill. It's going to be painful for a while, but I hope this hard-luck town will emerge stronger for it.

AMD has said it is at least thinking about upping the Athlon XP's front side bus speed to 400MHz. An Athlon XP with a 400MHz FSB appeared on an AMD roadmap described by Japanese web site PC Watch last week. The site claimed AMD will launch an Athlon XP based on the Barton core, with 512KB of L2 cache and a 400MHz FSB late April/early May. Performance ratings, it said, will range to at least 3200+.
AMD, not surprisingly, doesn't comment on this kind of speculation. However, Ace's Hardware, speaking to an AMD operative, asked whether the company would increase the Athlon XP's FSB to 400MHz the better to compete with Intel's upcoming Canterwood chipset and its 800MHz FSB. The AMD guy admitted that the company is "evaluating the possibility of moving Athlon XP to a 400 FSB".

Does anyone recognize the seeds used for this medallion. This was handed down to my Grandmother from many Generations, I know it is extremely old. But I'm not really sure how old. The metal closures are are all individually handmade and cut. If you look close you can see that some close tighter than others. One of them was not closed tight enough and subsequently a piece of wool yarn has been used to hold the 3 seed points together. I'll post a few more pics of the seeds and the yarn closure. I have no family left, so I am not able to ask any relitives.

South Sydney appear to have locked in a replacement for rugby union-bound Sam Burgess, with Penrith prop Tim Grant to join the Rabbitohs next season.
The Panthers on Friday agreed to release Grant from the final two years of his contract to link up with the Redfern-based NRL club on a four-year deal from 2015.
He will, however, see out the remainder of the season with the Panthers.
The western Sydney outfit said Grant had approached club officials "several weeks ago" about a possible release, but eventually agreed to stay until the end of 2016.
"However, after a change of heart he again approached club bosses to ask for a release, which has today been formalised," the Panthers said in a statement.
"The Panthers respect Tim's decision and wish him all the best for his future."
The 26-year-old has played 114 first-grade games for the Panthers since his debut in 2007, as well as two State of Origin appearances for NSW.
Rabbitohs coach Michael Maguire said Grant would add plenty of firepower to his forward pack, which will be without Burgess next season after he signed a three-year deal with UK rugby outfit Bath.
"Tim has represented his state and played over 100 first grade games, so he will bring experience to our pack as well as strong defence and plenty of size," Maguire said.
"He will add strength to our front row rotation, and we're looking forward to him joining our squad next pre-season."
Grant said he was excited about the move but admitted he still had some unfinished business at the foot of the mountains.
"I still have a job to do here at Penrith for the remainder of this season, and I'll be doing everything I can to help the Panthers have a successful year in 2014," he said.

There are several ways to present budgets to clients and I've used them all at one time or another. No matter which way it's presented, the fee that most clients question is the one that concerns your profit. Let's explore some of the ways we present budgets, what some client objections might be, and then what our responses might be to all three scenarios.
Method 1: Transparency
This is a line item budget with one line for pre-production, another for on-site production and yet a third for post-production. And then -- fanfare please -- the line item that says "management fee" (or any euphemism you attach to that line item) which can either be a flat fee or a percentage of the job cost.
The response from client: Why are you charging a management fee? We think that should be part of the production fees.
My response: The management fee accounts for not only our profit but also taxes, insurance, overhead and all the internal costs including attending trade shows and industry meetings where we can source all products you need to make your program a success. Production costs are hard costs as I have to pay producers for their performance and cannot be assessed to be part of our profit (and drawing upon my last blog post, this might include giving them an example of how they price out their product, which might include R&D, production, packaging, advertising and promotion, labor and profit). You can also point out that you are being completely transparent so they know exactly what they are paying for and, of course, you will be happy to provide original invoices.
Method 2: A Mark Up
This is a line item budget where your management fee is built into every line item (which then keeps it from being transparent as every line item is marked up). And then you add production fees (as listed above).
Typical client response: Asking you to reveal actual costs so they know for what they are paying. They might even ask you to give them the actual invoices from all vendors.
It is up to you whether or not to reveal your sources, but if you value your event partners you should have no problem doing so as long as your mark-ups are also revealed. If faced with the same questions about production fees as I outlined above, the responses would be the same.
Method 3: All-Inclusive
This is a budget that lists a total cost of the job where all line items, as well as production costs and management fees, are in one all-inclusive dollar amount. You can really only use this method if the client requests it. I have found that the days of "how much will the whole event cost?" might only be an opening discussion but after that all costs need to be validated and memorialized.
The typical responses to clients questioning you on fees and profitability are to defend your right to make money, hire good staff and so on, which could lead to lowering your fee.
My advice is never to do that. We're back to "know your value" and even more important, know what it costs you to stay in business. You, like your client, are entitled to a fair profit. If you don't react defensively but instead are prepared to address what local, state and federal taxes, insurance and worker's comp fees actually cost in terms of the gross of a job then you are honoring them by informing them.
How do you do this tactfully? With empathy. Try, "I can understand why these fees might be unexpected and I appreciate your candor in bringing up your concerns. Would you be willing to let me share with you industry needs and practices to help you better understand our fee structure and billing?"
As always, you need to be convinced that you are worth whatever you are asking. If you are convinced then the client will be, too. After all, no one bought a car for solely the cost of parts, did they?
This video is a great example of some client objections you might face yet put into day-to-day scenarios.

The baseball cliche. It's as much as part of the game as a hotdog and a brew. Build it and they will come. Tip our caps to that team. Swinging for the fences. ¶ And of course, for the love of the game. ¶ That's where these guys come in. Some are former ballplayers, some aren't. Some just want exercise, others want some competition.
They're players in the Nature Coast Adult Baseball League. They play Sundays all over Pasco, Hernando and Citrus counties. There's little fanfare and some players don't even have complete uniforms. These guys weren't top recruits or former major leaguers.
They're all there because of a cliche.
"Once a baseball player, always a baseball player," city of Brooksville recreation leader and first baseman for the Brooksville Scorpions Tina Nichols said. "What's their alternative? A men's softball league? This gives them a chance to play baseball. They love baseball like I love baseball and this is the only place they have to play baseball instead of softball. They don't want to play softball, I don't want to play softball, so we come here."
There's also a mix of ages. From 16 and older, teams seem to average in the early- to mid-20s, but others have a few players in their 50s and another has a 60-year-old.
"Each team builds on a team from when they start and get new players to get more competitive as they go," league organizer Steve Arcadipane said. "We're in a small market area, that's why its a good mix in age. If it were a bigger area, we'd have age divisions."
The summer season is wrapping up for the league, but there will be playoffs in October, and Arcadipane says the winter season starts in November. There are seven teams playing, and to be honest, some are better than others, like any other sports league, but the players still feel the games are competitive.
"Overall the competition is pretty level," said Michael Benitez, a member of the Dade City Mets. "There may be some times we get out to a lead and dominate, but that's kind of rare. A lot of these guys have played in high school and stuff, so they can be pretty good and games can be tough."
Arcadipane says that the games are for fun, mostly laid back, but he knows just when players pick up their game. Crunch time.
"Like any sport, its a rec league that gets competitive towards the playoffs," Arcadipane said. "People want to win the championship. That's always a given."
Championships aside, players just want the game. They want to feel part of a team, make the plays, feel like they're skilled at something.
"It's a good thing to do on Sundays," Scorpions player Bobby Russell said. "It's a good league for people who just want to play the game. They love the game to the aspect of where it's not going to become a life-and-death situation."
So these players leave it all on the field. They give it 110 percent. They feel the momentum swing, play with a sense of urgency, even get their competitive juices flowing.
They pick a cliche and just go play.
"Everyone out here is here for the love of the game," Nichols said. "They have passion to keep playing and the games are competitive. They're have been some really good games out here.
"When it comes to baseball, you really don't need much else than this."

I splurged on this for our second child and we love it. We have a few other similarly sized Haba balls and they all fit. Very appealling to even very young children. DD mastered it at around 13m and our 3.5 year old likes to make them go fast. I wish we had it with our first.
Also, terrific quality. It is isn't cheap but it will last through a LOT of kids.

By RICHARD BERNSTEIN , Special to the New York Times
Published: February 22, 1985
LEEUWARDEN, the Netherlands, Feb. 21— The dawn rose gray and somber over this northern Dutch town today to uncover the spectacle of some 16,000 people gliding on skates in what may be the longest skating competition in the world.
The event is called Elfstedentocht, meaning 11-town race, and it took place here today for the first time in 22 years. This winter is the first in that time cold enough to produce enough ice to bear the weight of the skaters. It consists of a tortuous 124-mile course over lakes, waterways and canals that cut like railroad tracks through the flat countryside, joining all the major towns of Friesland Province.
Nearly everyone watches. Just under 1 million people, according to a police estimate, turned up for the event here. They clogged the roads and took specially scheduled trains from all parts of the country. They stood for hours on bridges overlooking the canals and in long lines in the open pastureland, cheering as the racers went by. The rest of the population was able to watch on television. The race was broadcast live from its beginning in complete darkness at 5:30 A.M. to the final streaks of the finish line just under seven hours later.
Queen Sees the Finish
Queen Beatrix was here, and so was the Prime Minister of the Netherlands. The Queen watched at the finish line as a tight pack of four racers rose over the horizon at the end of a long, narrow, straight canal just outside of Leeuwarden. After 124 miles of skating, and another mile or so of running over places where there was no ice, the four finished within about six feet of each other, all clocking identical times of 6 hours 46 minutes 47 seconds. The winner, by inches, was Evert van Benthen, a 26-year-old dairy farmer from the town of St. Jansklooster. He said when it was all over that he thought he could never do it.
The leading woman was 37-year- old Lenie van der Hoorn, who came in 47 minutes later, saying that she had been troubled by the darkness in the beginning of the race and by thirst later on. Mrs. van der Hoorn's average time over the 125- mile course was just under 17 miles per hour.
Race Has Long History
The idea of the Elfstedentocht goes back to the 18th century or perhaps earlier, when young men began trying to pass on skates in a single day through all 11 towns of Friesland, a province known for unusual sporting events. The skippers of cargo yachts and market boats race on the lakes and on the Ijsselmeer, the inland bay on the west coast of Friesland, using boats as big as 50 tons with 100 square yards of sail. In the town of Winsum in August, young men and women compete in Fierljeppen, a kind of pole vaulting over water.
The towns are places whose history is rooted deep in medieval times. In the vast stretches of countryside in between, the course is a tour through a picture-postcard landscape of the Netherlands. There are yachts immobilized in the ice. Sheep and cows look at the edges of the canal, and great tile- roofed barns loom out of the fields looking vaguely like Chinese temples. There are arched drawbridges, church steeples and windmills silhouetted against the great horizon.
Conditions Were Difficult
The course is a difficult one. The ice is not very smooth, and today while raw and damp, was just warm enough to allow a thin film of water to form on the canals. There were several places where the skaters had to run on their skate blades across bridges or even down streets - over carpets laid down for the purpose - where the ice was too thin in the canals.
At the finish line, a brass band was playing. Two hot air balloons floated overhead. The flags of the 11 towns of Friesland lined the last 100 yards to the finish line, where the flag of the province itself, white and blue striped with seven red waterlillies, fluttered overhead.
There were some complaints among spectators today that all the attention given to the race threatens to commercialize it. In the old days, according to this point of view, any amateur could hope to win. Now, the event requires professional training and hundreds of hours of dedication. Racers are sponsored by Dutch companies who support them during the winter racing season.
Skaters Sponsor Races
Indeed, while the Elfstedentocht may be the longest and most famous ice-skating marathon in this country, it is not the only one. Every winter there are similar races on lakes and inland water courses, generally run by the same hundred people who are licensed as competitors by the Dutch Ice Skating Union. But the Elfstedentocht has the history and the prestige.
''For 22 years we've been hoping this would take place,'' a spectator said. ''Each year we wonder if it will be cold enough. Last December, we were going to have it and there was a sudden thaw and it had to be canceled. Everybody was very disappointed because nobody thought it would freeze over again in February. But here we are.''
Many of the participants in today's tour were in their 40's and 50's. ''They have been waiting half their lives for this moment,'' a spectator said.

The Arizona Diamondbacks' bullpen leads baseball in blown saves, accruing nine in the first month of the season — including Tuesday night's heartbreaker — which is one in every three games they've played so far. They're also near the top in innings pitched, with 254 — second in the National League, fourth in the majors — and ERA, with a 3.36, which is fourth in the NL and sixth overall.
In 27 games this season, the Diamondbacks' bullpen has already had 17 save opportunities. And though they've completed less than half of those opportunities, the fact that they've been called upon so frequently is largely out of their control and surely working against them.
The more close games the Diamondbacks play in, the more difficult the bullpen decisions become for manager Kirk Gibson, who pointed out his dilemma prior to Wednesday night's game against the San Francisco Giants.
"We haven't been able to manage the bullpen like you'd like to," Gibson explained. "In a tight game, you've got to continually match up. Guys are (warming) up more often and they're getting in the games more often.
"What I'm trying to do is to manage the bullpen, get these guys freshened up a little bit from their first real tests of the year."
Gibson went on to point out just how many tight games his team has been in this year. Just five of the team's 27 contests have been decided by more than three runs — one being a four-run, 12-inning victory at Yankee Stadium. Moreover, the Diamondbacks have already been in six extra innings games this season, just one shy of the seven they saw all of last season.
According to Paul Goldschmidt, there's an easy answer to the Diamondbacks' bullpen conundrum: "We need to score more than just a few runs a game."
While his statistics may be off (the Diamondbacks are currently scoring 4.26 runs per game, exactly the league average), his point is not.
"Our pitching staff really has picked up our offense," the first baseman went on. "We haven't really scored that many runs. We've been in a lot of 3-2, 2-1, 1-0 games and as a team, I think you've got to expect to score more runs. That's a big part of (the bullpen's struggles). As an offensive player, you're always thinking it's your responsibility."
The Diamondbacks will look to salvage a series win against the Giants on Wednesday. Brandon McCarthy, who is winless with three losses and a 7.48 ERA so far this season, will face Tim Lincecum, who is 2-1 with a 3.64 ERA. Gibson wasn't clear as to the availability of J.J. Putz or any of his other relievers when asked prior to the game.

Cool Indoor Climate Has Rock-Hard Solution
August 2, 2001
In Melbourne, FL, Mercedes Homes and the Consortium for Advanced Residential Buildings (CARB) hosted an open house to introduce a line of EnergyStar-rated homes designed to reduce utility bills by 30% or more. CARB is one of five Building America teams sponsored by the Department of Energy.
Two production model homes were shown as part of three developments Mercedes has planned for Central Florida. According to those involved in the project, the models "represent a significant departure from the concrete block construction prevalent in the Florida market to a 'poured-in-place' concrete wall approach that uses innovative aluminum forms."
A total of 175 homes will be built in 2001 by Mercedes, using the new technology. In addition to the concrete approach, the homes include energy-efficient mechanical equipment.

PALO ALTO, Calif. — For a composer whose work is heavily steeped in repetition, Steve Reich doesn't stay in the same place for very long, and he rarely thinks inside the box.
Reich has employed tape loops, feedback, percussion pieces rooted in Balinese gamelan and West African drumming, compositions based on human voices and human biology, and operatic works steeped in the Holocaust and the roots of contemporary religion. He's composed music for large ensembles with no need for a conductor ("Music for 18 Musicians," 1974-76), and works that consist of nothing but two people clapping ("Clapping Music," 1972), treated with Reich's signature phasing technique, in which two repeating instruments shift in and out of unison.
All this experimentation has paid off: In his 46-year career, Reich, 73, has won two Grammy Awards, shared the 2007 Polar Music Prize with Sonny Rollins, and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Music earlier this year for "Double Sextet" (2007). He will perform on "Clapping Music" during a staging of six of his compositions on Jan. 9 at Stanford University.
"Basically, I go in and out of technology," Reich said. "After 'Drumming' (in 1971), I became interested in moving away from technology. I moved to chamber orchestra. Then the idea of sampling arose, and I was asked to do a piece for Kronos Quartet ("Different Trains," 1988). I found out about a sampler keyboard. I could take any sound you could imagine and rework it. That suggested a new way of doing opera."
Village Voice calls Reich "the most original thinker of our time" and The Guardian (U.K.) hails him as among "a handful of living composers who can legitimately claim to have altered the direction of musical history." His 1968 composition, "Pendulum Music," based on sounds produced by swinging microphones back and forth in front of speakers, was highly influential to a number of early noise bands such as Sonic Youth and Throbbing Gristle — think of Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music" with actual melodies.
An earlier work, "It's Gonna Rain" in 1965, prefigured hip-hop. In the piece, Reich uses a tape loop of a street preacher he recorded while living in San Francisco. As the preacher utters the title line, a pigeon happened to take off; the sound of its wings flapping becomes the percussive instrument of the piece. The words themselves overlap one another so that, at times, they become unintelligible. For Reich at the time, the piece was merely an exercise to break away from Arnold Schoenberg's 12-tone technique he had been utilizing in his work.
"It's Gonna Rain" is now considered a classic bit of experimentation — ambient musician/ producer Brian Eno hails it as the music that spawned his career.
Reich has lately turned to purely instrumental works. His most recent composition, "Mallet Quartet," is designed for four marimbas, or two marimbas and two vibraphones. The piece will get its U.S. premiere as part of Stanford Lively Arts at Stanford, performed by New York City quartet So Percussion. Also to be performed will be "Music for Pieces ofWood" (1973), "Nagoya Marimbas" (1994), "Drumming Part 1" (1970-71) and "Four Organs" (1970) — a piece which, when performed in 1973 in Carnegie Hall, nearly got Reich booed off the stage.
"I just finished 'Mallet Quartet.'" Reich said. "Now, lo and behold, I feel the need to go back into sampling. I'm beginning to use a technique that I used in 'Dolly' (from "Three Tales," a video opera with his wife, visual artist Beryl Korot, in 2002). You know how you go to a movie and see a freeze-frame (while the film is rolling)? There is now a technology that allows you to do that with sounds.
This piece will take vowel sounds and sustain them so a cello can double them. This will be a different kind of piece."
Reich has just completed "2X5," his first piece to be scored for rock music instruments — two drum sets, two pianos, four electric guitars and two bass guitars. The composition premiered in July at Manchester International Festival, performed by Bang on a Can, sharing the bill with electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk, who have also performed Reich's work.
Reich, who studied at Julliard and received a master's degree in composition at Mills College in Oakland, Calif., weaves intricate pieces, based heavily on intuition, but also complex mathematical precision. Even his sparsest compositions, such as "Clapping Music" or "Vermont Counterpoint" — a flute played against a recording of a flute — are elaborate works that rely on a nimble sense of timing by the performers.
"(The musicians) push as far as they can go and it can really stress me out, as I hope that everyone is going to end where they need to end," said Jenny Bilfield, artistic director and executive director for Stanford Lively Arts, who has seen Reich's works performed a number of times, going back to the late 1970s. "That kind of electricity is really where Steve's sweet spot is."
Throughout his catalog, Reich celebrates the human voice: He twists voices to sound like instruments, and instruments to mimic voices, such as the polyphonic chants of Middle Ages composer Peronin and scat singing in the vein of Ella Fitzgerald, as employed on "Music for 18 Musicians." Much of the time, he blends the two so a listener can't separate the voice from the instrument.
"There are many different ways I've used the voice, but many people wouldn't even know they're there unless they see the performance," Reich said. "I blend (the voices) into the music. I use the voice to sing the words, then I also use prerecorded voices. What interests me there is, sometimes when we speak, we speak very melodically but also very boring; but on tape you can isolate the melody."
Oftentimes, it's not what's being said, but how it's being said. Many times, it's up to the listener to "complete the text," as Reich puts it.

Micron Technology, Inc., leading provider of advanced semiconductor solutions, has announced the RealSSD P300 SSD, targeting enterprise applications. Available in in 50GB, 100GB and 200GB capacities, the 2.5″ SSD features a SATA III interface, ONFI 2.1 34nm SLC NAND flash memory, and delivers exceptional read and write speeds of up to 360MB/s (read) and 275MB/s (write).
Micron Press Release
BOISE, Idaho, Aug 12, 2010 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX News
Network) — Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:MU) today introduced the
RealSSD P300 solid-state drive (SSD), bringing faster system performance
and improved data integrity to enterprise environments. The RealSSD
P300 drive features the SATA 6-gigabits per second (Gbps) interface, a
first for the enterprise SSD market. The new P300 SSD delivers
extraordinarily high steady-state input/output operations per second
(IOPS), up to 44,000 reads and 16,000 writes–more than 15 times the
write performance of competing SATA-based SSDs.
"The RealSSD P300
SSD is the fastest SATA-based drive on the market," 1 said Dean Klein,
Micron vice president of Memory System Development. "The RealSSD P300 is
able to do the work of multiple hard drives–outperforming a RAID of 12
hard drives in some cases." 2
The ever-expanding workload of
today's enterprise environments requires the technology within to be
to withstand the rigors of data being constantly accessed, transferred
and stored. The RealSSD P300 drive was designed specifically to address
these requirements by using Micron's high-performance and high-endurance
ONFI 2.1 34-nanometer (nm) single-level cell (SLC) NAND technology,
ensuring product longevity and added reliability in today's demanding
enterprise environments. Combining Micron's high-quality NAND and
proprietary firmware design enables the P300 SSD to deliver the highest
SATA drive endurance capability in the industry–3.5 petabytes total
bytes written for the 200GB drive which is equal to writing
approximately 1.9 terabytes per day, every day for five years. 3
from its raw performance, the RealSSD P300 product was also designed to
reach industry leading steady-state capabilities, even with the write
cache disabled. With the P300, users no longer have to
choose between IOPs or throughput and maximum data resiliency–they can
have both in the same drive," added Klein.
Micron worked with
Calypso Systems, Inc., a leading industry benchmarking firm to test the
P300 SSD. "The RealSSD P300 SSD once again shows Micron seizing an
industry leading position, delivering tremendous performance gains
relative to the competition," said Eden Kim, chief executive officer of
Calypso Systems. "By taking advantage of the SATA 6Gb/s, the P300 showed
impressive small block 4K Random Write IOPs that were as much as 2.5 to
16 times faster than competing drives it was tested against."
in 50, 100 and 200-gigabyte (GB) capacities, the RealSSD P300 drive is
targeted primarily at enterprise applications including blade and
conventional servers, storage arrays and high-end workstations. Designed
to fit the standard 2.5-inch form factor, the
P300 SSD achieves a read throughput speed of up to 360MB/s and a write
throughput speed of up to 275MB/s. To learn more about the product
features of the P300 SSD, visit http://www.micron.com/products/solid_state_storage/enterprise_ssd.html.
Micron is sampling the RealSSD P300 SSD with customers now and plans to enter mass production in October.

I'm trying to execute a C program in Visual Studio.Net 2003 environment and seem to have a problem with the watch window in the IDE. I wrote a simple code like:
when attempting to execute this code in debug mode, if i try to view the contents of arr[0][1] in the watch window, I get the following error messageCode:#include<stdio.h> main() { int arr[2][2]={ {2,3}, {3,5}, }; printf("%d",arr[0][1]); }
arr[0][1] error: index '0' out of bound for pointer/array 'arr'
The printf statement prints the correct value of 3 for arr[0][1]. I was wondering what I'm missing in the watch window.
Appreciate your help.

Only if you have enough of it............
Yes, especially when not having any
I'd like to have a boat load of it and get back to on that one!
the truth yes it is , on this world anyways
Sometimes you can buy things that make you happy. It doesn't guarantee happiness, but at worst it means you can avoid some pain in your life.
not for me.
Life is happiness, we can do any think if we are life
no money is nothing without some things like without health , education , and some thing more
No

Relationships are happier than Money
Money can't buy you everything
No way. If it might suit you to live a life of dedication, get thee to a convent or a monastery, give up all worldly goods, own nothing. Money will needed but it will be a necessary evil. You will have to join the work of fund raising for the group. Your happiness will derive from your dedication to the activity of the group.

I say this, not from any experience of living without money, but from my experience of always living with enough money, but being happy only when I had something to be dedicated to. Happily I do have it now.

Your mileage may vary, but I can be happy only if I have a purpose in life.
When it comes to material belongings, I always remember what my father once said : USE THINGS AND LOVE PEOPLE; and you'll be the happiest man on earth.
Money cnt Buy Happiness...

But Can buy Diamond Ring 4 u ...

Ice cream middle of Nite ...

N

Vacation @ Napa Valley ...

ofcourse ...if u have money ..u surely will get honey ...lol
Happiness is a warm chocolate chip cookie and a glass of cold milk.
Well, money buys cookies, ice cream, and brownies, and that's close enough.
nah ganja
when you spend it

I am 40 years old and I had a lower blephoplasty in March this year to remove bags with fat re-positioning over the orbital rim and also fat grafting to give volume to the cheek/lower lid junction.The RHS area over the bone was more plumper which left a deep indent between the cheek/under the eyeball area, and the LHS looked sunken, so extreme results on both sides. The surgeon recommended a second attempt at fat grafting to even the sides out. It now looks more uneven??
Uneveness After Lower Blephoplasty and Fat Grafting, How Can this be Fixed?

Need photos or in person examination. This is a tough problem to solve. Get second opinion. Temporary fillers might be your best choice.

The Trinity Classical Academy Knights boys soccer team had its share of highlights this season.
But it didn't have enough highlights on Tuesday to get past Santa Clara High of Oxnard in the wild-card round of the CIF-Southern Section Division VII playoffs. Trinity lost the game 3-1 at Valencia Heritage Park.
"We played well and we didn't finish our chances and (Santa Clara) took advantage of their opportunities," said Trinity head coach Zach Weichbrodt.
Nick Spinello's goal in the first half was Trinity's only score of the game and it kept the score at a 1-1 tie at halftime.
Spinello scored directly off a corner kick that he bent into the back of the net.
But a pair of defensive mistakes led to two more goals for the Santa Clara Saints (8-6-1).
"Both offenses and midfields did a good job of pressuring the ball and forcing the defensive line into mistakes," Weichbrodt said.
But Trinity (5-12-0) allowed Santa Clara to roam around too much in the midfield and create scoring chances.
Tuesday night's game marks the end of a season in which the Knights finished third in the Heritage League despite dealing with injuries and other issues that kept players off the field.
On Tuesday, Trinity was without roughly half of its usual starting lineup due to some of the same issues.
Still, there were standout players like senior James Almeida to hold down the defense and midfielder Michael Stratton, who led the team with 13 goals this season.
"We definitely saw some growth and were definitely able to hit some high points," Weichbrodt said.
Note: In another CIF-SS Division VII wild-card game on Tuesday, Albert Einstein Academy lost 12-0 to Grace Brethren.

It seems pretty sad that the Salt Lake City School District even considered spending, secretly, $49,999 to improve its image after the Uintah Elementary lunch debacle. So it's not a matter of admitting wrongdoing and inappropiate behavior; this seems to be an attempt to justify the hurtful action ("Salt Lake City district backs off PR firm after lunch fiasco," Tribune, Feb. 26).
It's simple, if the district wants to improve its image, it should give the $49,999 to the lunch program and distribute free lunches. How can you punish a kid whose parents might be behind on their lunch payments by as little as a few dollars and then turn around and spend an enormous amount to justify your mean-spirited behavior.
Someone is not learning the lesson! Someone is not very kindhearted. It's sad. The kids and parents should refuse the cupcakes and ask for the $49,999 to be donated for free lunches.

The Watertown-Mayer/Mayer Lutheran wrestling team cruised to two easy wins last Thursday, Jan. 17, at a home triangular, and then finished in fifth place at the eighth-team Hutchinson Invitational on Saturday.
The Watertown-Mayer/Mayer Lutheran wrestling team cruised to two easy wins last Thursday, Jan. 17, at a home triangular, and then finished in fifth place at the eighth-team Hutchinson Invitational on Saturday.
The two wins, which came against Tri City United and Rockford, boosted the Royals season duals record to 9-1. They opened the night with a 64-12 win over Tri City United, which boosted their conference record to 4-0 in the Minnesota River Conference, before closing the night with a 79-0 win over Rockford.
In the win over TCU, the Royals jumped out to a 30-0 lead, thanks in part to two forfeit wins for Jackson Sweeney and Colin Flynn to open the night, followed by three straight pins. Adam Traen got a pin at 120, Matt Elsenpeter got one at 126 and Aaron Sweeney had another at 132.
TCU finally got on the board with a pin at 138, but Joe Reinert's 5-3 decision at 145 got the Royals back on track. Jon Vouk followed with a 14-3 major decision at 152 before TCU got another pin at 160 to cut the deficit to 37-12.
However, that was the final point that TCU scored in the match. Logan Cooper won a thrilling 6-5 decision with an escape as time ran out at 170 pounds, while Austin Torres followed with a pin at 182 pounds. Nick Burns and Jon Ernst won by forfeit at 195 and 220 pounds, respectively, and at heavyweight, Davion Franklin withstood a strong challenge from his TCU opponent to finally win by fall with 16 seconds left in the match.
The Royals later shut out Rockford, 79-0, but didn't have to work too hard in the process. The Royals took a 36-0 lead with forfeit wins from Jackson Sweeney, Braydon Snow, Traen, Elsenpeter, Aaron Sweeney and Jobe in the first six matches.
At 145 pounds, Reinert followed with a major decision, and Vouk got a pin at 152. At 160, Bryce Kallenbach won a major decision, Cooper won by forfeit at 170, and Torres won by fall at 182.
Burns (195) and Franklin (heavyweight) both won by forfeit, while Ernst picked up a first-period pin at 220 pounds.
Hutchinson Invite
The Royals finished in fifth place at the invite, scoring 152.5 points. Jackson County Central won the meet with 202.5 points, with Prior Lake (199) taking second, Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City (162) taking third and Hutchinson (159) taking fourth.
The Royals had three individual champions on the day. Jackson Sweeney took first place at 106 pounds, Elsenpeter won at 126 pounds and Torres won at 182 pounds.

Route Grade Votings
Total votes cast 3
Adjacent Routes
An awe-inspiring route whose main pitch climbs the central section of the severely-overhanging upper buttress. Start as for pitch 1 of America; or at the stance at the top of its first pitch if the tide or sea conditions do not allow access to the base.
Pitch 2 is serious, with little protection. Pitch 3 has good protection where it matters.
