Tribe ties game late before Twins pull ahead on HR

MINNEAPOLIS -- The pitch was not where Indians reliever Bryan Shaw wanted it.

Cleveland was able to stay close with Minnesota on Monday night thanks to several early breaks, but the Tribe was handed a 4-3 loss at Target Field after Willingham's homer over the left-field wall.
"We had 3-2 right there, so I was trying to throw something soft," Shaw said. "He was catching up to the heaters. He laid off the 2-2 heater that was just off, away. So I tried to flip a slider in there."
Willingham's ninth home run of the year was the Twins' first real sign of life in five innings.
Early on, the game appeared headed toward a rout for the home team. Swept by Tampa Bay this weekend, Minnesota's lineup went from ice cold to electric against Indians starter T.J. House.
Kendrys Morales and Willingham led off the bottom of the second with singles before Kurt Suzuki brought both of them home with a double to center.
Chris Colabello then sent a first-pitch fastball out to the right-field seats for a 4-0 lead, but replays showed that the ball sailed just wide of the foul pole. Given another chance, House struck out Colabello and then retired the next two batters with a mix of sliders and changeups.
"It's great," House said of the overturned call. "You don't want to be down 4-0 in the second. Just got to get that guy out, which I did, and kind of limited the damage there with just two runs. So it was definitely a positive influence on the later end of the game."
But the Indians didn't escape fully intact. Shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera was pulled after the inning with lower back spasms. He appeared to be in pain after snaring a grounder from Chris Parmelee and throwing to first for the out.
"He jabbed when that ball went to short, his first step," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "And he kind of locked up, and he couldn't get it unlocked. After we took him out, it started to loosen up a little bit, but he just couldn't get it loose."
Cabrera's replacement immediately got Cleveland on the board.
With the Indians down 2-0, Chris Dickerson took a slider from Twins starter Kris Johnson and swatted it to right field, scoring Mike Aviles.
"Dickerson's done a lot of good things for us," Francona said. "That's not the easiest situation going in off a lefty. But he took a real good swing."
The Indians crept closer in the fifth when Yan Gomes smashed a double into the left-field corner to score Dickerson. The ball took a funny bounce off the wall and then Willingham overthrew his cutoff man to allow Dickerson to sprint home.
Carlos Santana followed that with a hard single to right, but Gomes was forced to hold up at third, and Ryan Raburn subsequently popped out to end the inning with the score 3-2.
"I started out good, but with the humidity I started to lose some gas in the fourth and fifth innings," Johnson said. "The ball started to get up and I started making a few more mistakes."
The Twins also kept the Indians in the game with a few miscues.
Baserunning gaffes by Trevor Plouffe (unable to stretch a double into a triple in the third) and Suzuki (unable to stretch a single into double in the fourth) kept the Minnesota offense from extending its lead. In the seventh, reliever Caleb Thielbar appeared to have Jason Kipnis picked off trying to steal second, but Thielbar's throw sailed by Morales and Kipnis advanced to third.
"That's our best way to win: making plays, not giving the other team extra opportunities," Francona said. "And tonight, we didn't win, but we gave ourselves a better chance because of that."
But Cleveland could not capitalize on the final one; Dickerson and Gomes struck out against Thielbar and Jared Burton, respectively, to end the inning.
In the eighth, the Tribe managed to tie the game. Michael Brantley pinch-hit for Raburn and drove a double off the right-field wall, then Nick Swisher advanced him to third with a groundout.
With a runner standing on third for the second straight inning, Perez came through with a single up the middle that knotted the score at 3.
"I wasn't trying to do too much," Perez said. "I was just trying to get the ball in play. I got a fastball inside and put a good swing on it."
But a half-inning later, Willingham sent Shaw's slider into orbit, and then Glen Perkins shut down the Indians in the ninth to earn his 23rd save of the season.

The principle
POLIGRAT processes remove burrs and particles from the entire surface. At the same time, the surface is smoothed and polished. This is effected even in inaccessible places such as holes, threads and indentations and is largely independent of form, structure and size of the parts as well as the hardness and toughness of the material.
During processing a thin layer of material is removed from the entire surface of the parts without placing them under stress. Processing removes flakes, debris and particles as well as impurities, micro-cracks and local structural damage. Burrs up to a size of approx. 0.5 mm are safely removed due to the removal of larger amounts along the edges and on the corners.
Parts of virtually any shape and size can be processed individually or on racks. High volume small parts are treated in bulk material in drums, while wires and bands are treated on wheels. The interior of pipes and drillings are processed by pumping through.
The application
POLIGRAT processes are used anywhere where metal surfaces are subject to increased demands for freedom from burrs and particles as well as function and appearance. These include
- Deburring and smoothing of parts which have been processed by milling, punching, cutting or laser processing
- Surfaces with high quality requirements for purity and freedom from particles
- Parts with complex shapes or bendable forms
- Hard, tough or soft materials
- Sharpening of cutting edges and needle tips without deforming
- Increased fatigue strength in dynamically loaded parts
POLIGRAT processes
POLIGRAT processes for deburring and smoothing are available for virtually all metals and alloys with technical applications. The selection of the most suitable process in each case is determined by the material, the part and special requirements
POLIGRAT supplies
- The optimal processes for the processing of the parts in question, including chemicals and the optimal plant having regard to performance, profitability and operating safety.
- Processing as a service in our own sub-contractors' firms.

this phone is desperatelly pretty.I know there are flaws but wich phone doesn't have flaws?Sure it lacks a flash and a miror.Sound quality also is mediocre with the standar headset.But it comes with 1 gb m2 stick,so i guess the money you'll save from buying a mem stick you could use it at buying a better headset. But as i said in the begining if what you're looking for is above all a good looking phone,then that's the one to buy for sure.It's extremelly slim,very light and as a true SE phone very easy to fall in love with...well,at least i have and i'm sure you'll too get there once you get it

I do think you are a tad harsh in this review. Motorola, Samsung and LG phones are far from mainstream yet (IMHO) The only true players are SonyE and Nokia. Nokia's attempt at a functional solid sexy phone are the incredibly expensive Siroco units (8800?) This offering from SonyE is amazing, sexy, solid functional and affordable too. I've read many reviews about it and all seem to give it high regard. I think for the size, what it can achieve is outstanding. I have Java applets running my gmail, my Microsoft Live services, including hotmail. It also supports SYNCML which ties in with your google calendar using GooSync. All in all very useable if you needed email, cal, contacts and web in a sexy but small package. If you want any more functionality while mobile it works splendid with a bluetooth connection and a Palm TX! I say all this as I have just in the past two weeks gone from SonyE P990i, to a O2 XDA Orbit, and now happily rest at the gorgeous W880i and my Palm TX, defo the best choice for Christian Dior's with a techy edge ;-)

I been using the W880 for about 6 months now. Its a great phone in my opinion if you use the phone a lot for talking. I really got this for the size and the look. Camera and music player is only average but the screen resolution is pretty good.

I bought this phone 4 weeks ago and can honestly say I utterly detest it. I will frustratingly, be replacing it with a Nokia or Motorola phone instead. I find the predictive texting a complete pain in comparison to the Motorola SLVR I had been using for the past 12 months or other brands of mobile phones used before this.. It seems archaic and incredible frustrating in this area for a plethora of reasons. Yes it looks good - hence the main reason I chose it. Also the sales assistant sang it's praises on the MP3 player front - which was of no interest to me as I use an I-Pod. However, I have found out of the 7 or so mobiles I have used over the past 10 years, the Sony Ericsson W880, is in my opinion; Useless. The buttons are way too small unless one has the thumbs of a toddler and by the time I've managed to write a reasonable length text, I have restrained myself from frustratingly dumping it in the garbage/throwing it across the room. As someone who has never used a Sony Ericsson phone before, I find the general interface is confusing, complicated and very user-unfriendly.. All in all I would give it a 2 out of 10 - the 2 being awarded purely for the visual design... It may excel as an MPS player but if one is looking for a mobile phone for the purpose of actually telephoning or texting someone - please do yourself a favour and do not buy this attractive lump of muck.

Suddenly, the narrative morphed. An early statement by police and a suspicious Facebook profile suggested the shooter was a "Christian," a Freemason, and a "right-wing extremist" of some variety. Since then information has continued to surface — including a 1,500-page "manifesto" and a short video attributed to Breivik.
Large sections of the document he reportedly released, entitled "2083: A European Declaration of Independence," have already been identified as plagiarized from the "Unabomber." Terrorist Ted Kaczynski, following his involvement in psychological experiments linked to the Central Intelligence Agency, sent out letter bombs and various screeds against modern society.
Often contradictory, the massive manifesto released by Breivik features writings from his "diary," quotes from a wide range of sources, insights into his beliefs and planning, historical information, and more. But the picture that emerges is far more complex than the simple-minded caricature of a "conservative Christian" being painted by much of the media. In fact, Breivik essentially admitted in his writing (not to mention his deeds) that he was not actually a Christian at all in the true sense.
Breivik regularly described himself as a "nationalist." While the term means many things to different people, the terrorist understood it primarily as opposition to what he perceived as a takeover of European nations by immigrants — mostly from Islamic countries. The apparent obsession with national and cultural identity over the individual has led several prominent commentators to describe him as a "collectivist."
While much of the world media has characterized Breivik as some sort of "neo-Nazi," the comparison of the ideology espoused in the manifesto to the ideas of National Socialism is only partly accurate. It has indeed emerged recently that he was a member of certain online forums and groups associated with neo-Nazism. But in several important respects, the link to National Socialism is off the mark.
For one, he was generally critical of Hitler and racism. The manifesto also refers to Israel and Zionism hundreds of times — always in a positive light. "So let us fight together with Israel, with our Zionist brothers against all anti-Zionists," he wrote. Norway, of course, has largely been perceived as hostile to Israel, particularly under the current ruling party that Breivik's terror was directed against.
In addition to Zionism, Breivik expressed strong support for the Indian Hindutva movement in the "war" against Islam. "India will continue to wither and die unless the Indian nationalists consolidate properly and strike to win," he wrote. "It is essential that the European and Indian resistance movements learn from each other and cooperate as much as possible. Our goals are more or less identical."
Prior to the rampage, Breivik had been active in mainstream Norwegian politics. Until 2004 he was involved with the Progress party, the second biggest in the nation's parliament. But he later criticized them for adopting "political correctness" and "multiculturalism."
Among the main subjects of hatred evidenced in the manifesto are native-born "traitors" who support multiculturalism and immigration. The attacks were apparently aimed at a very specific target: the Norwegian Labor Party. The initial blast in Oslo destroyed part of the Prime Minister's office, while the rampage on the island targeted the party's youth wing.
Breivik also praised the English Defence League (EDL), a British organization known for demonstrating against immigration and Islam, which he claimed to have assisted in the past. Recent news reports suggested that he did indeed have at least some contact with a few members, but the group issued a statement condemning violence and extremism.
Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill is also mentioned on one version of a Facebook page attributed to Breivik. And Anglo-Saxon culture appears to have been a major influence in his writings — he signed the manifesto as "Andrew Berwick."
Other points the rambling document dwells on include feminism and "cultural Marxism," which he apparently saw as part of the broader attack on Western civilization by "elites." Police have so far said they do not know whether his views motivated the attacks.
According to the document he released, one of the things that finally "tipped the scales" was the NATO bombing campaign in the former Yugoslavia. He apparently saw the international war effort as defending "Islamic imperialism" against Europeans who were fighting back against it.
One clear picture that emerges from available information is that Breivik was extraordinarily angry and worried about the "Islamization" of Europe and the West. Like many mainstream Westerners, he was upset over large-scale Muslim immigration and the perceived failure of "integration" policies.
While his writing does not indicate strong or genuine Christian religious beliefs, he appears to have viewed Christianity in terms of shared heritage and culture uniting the West. "Christianity is the ONLY cultural platform that can unite all Europeans, which will be needed in the coming period during the third expulsion of the Muslims," he wrote.
More than four out of five Norwegians are technically members of the Lutheran-oriented state Church headed by the Norwegian King, but in practice very few Norwegians truly believe in Christianity. Breivik, though a member, was also critical: "Today's Protestant church is a joke. Priests in jeans who march for Palestine and churches that look like minimalist shopping centres," he charged in an online post cited in media reports.
Breivik also denied that he had a relationship with Christ. "If you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and God then you are a religious Christian," he added toward the end of the manifesto. "Myself and many more like me do not necessarily have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and God. We do however believe in Christianity as a cultural, social, identity and moral platform. This makes us Christian."
Much of the manifesto details past conflicts between Islam and Christianity. The date used in the title, 2083, refers to what will be the 400th anniversary of the Muslim defeat at the "Gates of Vienna." The battle is seen by many as a critical historical juncture that was likely responsible for preventing the fall of Western Europe to the Ottoman Empire.
Breivik appears to have seen the "war" he thought he was waging in a similar light. In his manifesto, he claimed that he was involved in the formation of a group called the Knights Templar "to seize political and military control of western European countries and implement a cultural conservative political agenda."
Despite Breivik's claims about a new "Knights Templar," this group has so far not been associated with the order by the same name within the upper echelons of Freemasonry today. Breivik described his "Knights Templar" as a secret group founded in 2002 at a meeting of activists in London, where he said atheists and agnostics were among those present.
According to historians, the original Knights Templar emerged around the 12th century. Their mission was to protect Christian pilgrims traveling to and from the Holy Land from Muslims. They eventually became extraordinarily wealthy and powerful.
By the 14th century, the Pope ordered that the group be disbanded. European monarchs participated in the attempt to squash the order, and many of its members were tortured and burned at the stake for charges ranging from Satan worship to pedophilia.
While historians disagree about what exactly happened next, it is sometimes theorized that at least a few Knights Templar were able to avoid capture. Fleeing to places such as Scotland, a small remnant of the order is said by some to have taken refuge in Masonic lodges.
The modern Knights Templar within the York Rite of Masonry addresses the issue on its website: "To simplify the story without attempting to elaborate or quote various researchers, all we know is that when Templary emerged in the early 1700's it was a part of Freemasonry," the page states. "THERE IS NO PROOF OF DIRECT CONNECTION BETWEEN THE ANCIENT ORDER AND THE MODERN ORDER KNOWN TO DAY [sic] AS THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR."
Breivik was indeed involved in Freemasonry — one of the pictures he released showed him wearing a Masonic apron. But after his name was publicly cited in the press, he was immediately expelled from the fraternity. One of today's Masonic Knights Templar groups also released a statement condemning the attack and saying it had nothing to do with the "Knights Templar" discussed in the terrorist manifesto.
Personality and Life
While there has been a great deal of controversy over the veracity of Breivik's Facebook pages, the information on them has been widely cited in media reports. The profiles express an interest in violent computer games, classical music, and bloody movies and TV shows about vampires, serial killers, and more.
Before embarking on the murderous rampage, Breivik reportedly studied at the Oslo Commerce School. He also ran a farming business that, according to authorities, was a cover that allowed him to purchase large quantities of fertilizer used in bomb-making without arousing suspicion.
Details of his younger years are still being pieced together by journalists and investigators. It is known that Breivik was the son of a diplomat, as was Mumbai terror mastermind and former U.S. government asset David Coleman Headley. It has also been reported that he went to the same primary school as Norway's crown Prince.
While some friends, family members, and media analysts have described him as mentally ill, he does not view himself in that way. In fact, he appears to have imagined himself as some sort of heroic character who would be embraced by large swaths of the population — eventually at least — as the "war" he anticipated between Muslims and Christians developed.
Of course, there are still countless questions about what really happened during the attack and what might have motivated Breivik. Witnesses and survivors from the island massacre have reported at least two shooters. Six unidentified suspects were also arrested by police in connection with the attack, but so far almost no information has been publicly released.
As more information becomes available, a clearer picture will probably start to emerge. But for now, it is obvious that simplistic media characterizations of the attacker have ranged from wildly inaccurate to outright deceptive.

8 Wacky Presidential Turkey Pardon Moments [VIDEOS, PHOTOS]
As holidays go, Thanksgiving sure has its share of odd traditions. Live parades with lip-synched musical numbers! Mincemeat pies and Jell-O molds! Grandma Ruthie removing her dentures at the dinner table! Not even the President of the United States is spared his share of the inanity. Case in point: the presidential turkey pardon, an annual pre-Thanksgiving practice in which the POTUS makes a speech about the stuff we should all be thankful for and then poses for a photo-op with a live turkey before sending it off to live the rest of its life uneaten (by humans, anyway).
As ludicrous as it may be, some pardons turn out even wackier than others. The following eight pics and video clips capture what we think have been the most bizarre bird ceremonies in Thanksgiving history.

Besides the inappropriate treatment of infant fevers and colds, another common, inappropriate treatment that is often administered is for infant's teething problems. A large group of pediatricians were recently surveyed about what they do for teething infants. Virtually all prescribed medications, usually pain-killers of varying strengths, sedatives, and local anesthetics.
It is certainly understandable that parents want to do something to allay their infants' pain during the teething stage. Besides the tooth pain and drooling that infants suffer, they also often have fever, bowel problems (usually diarrhea, or constipation alternating with diarrhea), colds, and skin rashes. And it is certainly understandable that physicians who see the pained infants and the frightened and concerned parents would want to do something. However, homeopathy offers such an effective alternative to problems associated with teething that physicians and parents will inevitably look to it.
Chamomilla has probably introduced more parents to homeopathy than any other homeopathic medicine. It is not the only medicine that homeopaths prescribe to treat teething, but it is so commonly used that it is generally recommended unless the infant's symptoms clearly indicate the need for a different medicine. The most common symptoms of infants who need Chamomilla are inflamed gums, drooling, and a desire to keep fingers in the mouth. Commonly, one cheek is hot and red, while the other is pale. More notable than these physical symptoms are the emotional and behavioral changes. The infants are hyperirritable and may scream and hit. They demand things but reject them as soon as they are given. During sleep they toss and turn and may cry aloud. The only relief they experience comes when they are being carried about or rocked. This description of Chamomilla infants no doubt sounds familiar to many parents.
Other homeopathic medicines given to teething infants are Podophyllum (mayapple), Belladonna (deadly nightshade),Calcarea phosphorica (phosphate of calcium), Calcarea carbonica (calcium carbonate), Coffea (coffee), and Caffeinum (caffeine).

Plucked from the relative obscurity it enjoyed merely a few years ago, gluten intolerance or sensitivity has become one of today's hottest health topics.
Nearly 30 percent of Americans reported in January wanting to cut down or eliminate gluten in their diet, according to new data from the NPD Group. And where consumers see a chance to be healthier, restaurants and food manufacturers see a business opportunity.
Gluten is a protein that is found in wheat, barley and rye. It is found in bread, pasta and other products and contributes to a dough's elasticity.
Patients with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder, must avoid gluten in their diets. If they consume it, it will make the lining of their small intestine inflamed and inhibit the absorption of nutrients, which could lead to malnutrition. Those with gluten sensitivity might also experience similar symptoms as well as fatigue and headaches. However, the trend to go gluten free has caught on with consumers who don't have either condition but instead see it as part of a healthy diet or a way to lose weight. (Which some doctors caution may not be true.)
As a result of the growing gluten backlash, restaurants have released a bevy of new gluten-free items and menus, while grocers have lined their shelves with new options from food manufacturers that eliminate the ingredient. Some even advertise products as "gluten free" that naturally lack the ingredient.
"A generation ago, health was about avoiding fat, cholesterol, sugar and sodium in our diet," said Harry Balzer, NPD's chief industry analyst. "While those desires still exist for many, they no longer are growing concerns."

Treatment Options for Canine Lymphoma
Is the Wisconsin protocol the most effective treatment for lymphoma? What are the chances of a cure or is this therapy really to buy her time? Is there a less expensive but maybe not too less effective treatment? I read something about using CCNU alone.
Erika Krick, VMD, DACVIM Veterinary Medical Oncologist, University of Pennsylvania, responds:
CHOP-based protocols (the Wisconsin protocol is one of these) are considered to be the most effective treatment for lymphoma in dogs. These protocols use a combination of prednisone, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and doxorubicin. The chance of a cure is low, but the chance of remission is high for most dogs. Other less expensive options include prednisone alone, prednisone and CCNU (lomusine), and doxorubicin alone. I recommend that you consult with your veterinarian or an oncologist about these options.

Seven candidates have jumped into the races for Hayward mayor and City Council, with the possibility of more as the filing deadline was extended; meanwhile, two incumbent Union Sanitary District board members will retain their seats, as no opponents appeared.
Hayward will have a new mayor after the June 3 election, as Mayor Michael Sweeney declined to seek a fourth term.
Four candidates have filed for the race to succeed him. Because Sweeney is an incumbent and did not file, by state law the filing deadline is extended to Wednesday.
Three of the four candidates running for Hayward mayor are familiar faces on the dais: City Council members Barbara Halliday, Mark Salinas and Francisco Zermeno. Rakesh Kumar Christian also has filed for mayor.
Halliday is the longest-serving current council member; the retired medical liability claims supervisor was first elected in 2004. She won the most votes in the 2012 election to fill four council spots.
Zermeno was first elected in 2008. Both the Chabot College instructor and Halliday will retain their council seats if they do not win the mayoral race.
Salinas is director of the Kids' Breakfast Club nonprofit and also a college instructor. Because he filed in the mayoral race, he cannot seek re-election to the council, and the filing period for his seat also is extended to Wednesday.
Councilman Marvin Peixoto is running for his second term on the seven-member council and filed last week.
Also filing for Hayward City Council are city Planning Commissioner Rodney Loche and Julie McKillop, owner of Neumanali restaurant and a former planning commissioner.
Brian Schott and Ralph Farias Jr. have taken out council nomination papers but have not filed. Schott is past president of the Rotary Club and a local businessman. Farias, a self-employed businessman, unsuccessfully ran for the council in 2010 and 2012.
Two incumbent Union Sanitary District board members are unopposed, and, with no other candidates filing papers in the race by 5 p.m. Friday, the deadline to declare candidacy for the election, the Alameda County Registrar of Voters said.
Thomas Handley automatically returns for a third consecutive term, having won in 2008 and 2010. Handley, a Fremont resident, also served on the board from 1995 to 2002.
Jennifer Toy will enter her fifth consecutive four-year term. Toy, also a Fremont resident, joined the five-member board of directors in 1998.
Handley said the lack of opponents is not a bad sign, rather "an indication that the people are happy to let the people running (the district) continue."
Founded in 1918, the Union Sanitary District collects and treats wastewater for more than 330,000 people in Fremont, Union City and Newark.

That's right. Can you imagine giving up email? I wasn't so sure about it either. But after a year working at WordPress, I understood how an entire online organization could not only function without email -- they also were more productive.
Email is the first thing you check in the morning, and it's your last thought before shutting down at the end of the day. The piles and piles of important (and not-so-important) messages hitting your inbox every second... you're probably stressed just thinking about it. Read on to learn how it's possible to completely cut email out of your life.
How can any modern organization function without email, much less one as successful as WordPress?
First, it's important to recognize that, despite everyone's complaints about endless streams of useless email, most people are dubious about following WordPress's lead to email liberation. We have a deeply ingrained distrust when it comes to alternatives, which is odd given how we pride ourselves on being early adopters of new ideas.
Email is an old technology, older than the Web itself by more than a decade. So why do we cling so tightly to our "cc" lines and attachments?
The reasons have little to do with technology
All technologies are good for some tasks and bad for others. If a technology annoys you, it probably has more to do with how the people around you use it than the technology itself. (Click here to Tweet this thought.)
Consider this: for all our technological progress, we've yet to invent anything that makes coworkers write clear, jargon-free paragraphs. We have yet to find a way to get them to actually read, not skim, the well-crafted things we send their way. It's our culture that defines these habits, not the tools we're using. Culture bends technology to its will, not the other way around.
Most annoying business emails have two purposes, neither of which get meaningful work done:
1. The ass-covering email
Email is broadcast to entire divisions simply to ensure no one can say they didn't hear about a decision. Email is a weapon used for pre-emptive political strikes by the sender to attack everyone on the distribution list. We hate email because we feel like email victims at the mercy of self-interested people who don't share our goals.
2. The "hey look what I did!" email
For people who don't actually create things for their job, email is the only visible, tangible thing they make all day. Dysfunctional, insecure cultures confuse the meta-work of email and PowerPoint decks for the actual work of helping customers.
In these environments, people feel obligated to send more emails and create larger and larger documents to give the perception that they're working hard. It's a downward spiral of anti-productivity.
WordPress avoids these problems because most of their 170 employees do actual work -- they write code, design features or directly help customers. And they're empowered to be aggressive in their jobs, making live changes to the service dozens of times a day with no approval chain or executive review board.
There's little fear of crossing political turf and no need to show off as their work speaks for itself. The result is that their communication channels have a high signal-to-noise ratio.
Why dysfunctional email is holding back your organization
Putting WordPress aside for the moment, email has several fundamental disadvantages that are rarely discussed:
1. Email empowers the sender
The sender can fill your inbox with whatever they like and as frequently as they like. Many receivers use filters and rules as countermeasures.
2. Email is a closed channel
There's no way to see an email if you're not included on the ''to'' list, forcing work groups to err on the side of carpet bombing entire project teams or even companies. We all feel that only a fraction of the email we receive has direct relevance to us as individuals. Email tends to bury people in "FYI" communications - needless messages unworthy for inboxes.
3. Email decays over time
If someone writes a great email, an employee has to do something to preserve it. Otherwise, it sits in an inbox, never to be seen by new employees. Over time, that organizational knowledge fades away.
How WordPress evades the email trap
The single tool most WordPress employees use is -- surprise -- blogs!
The dominant blog structure WordPress staff use is the P2 theme, which was specifically designed for teamwork. The specifications and spreadsheets that might be sent over email at your average company are simply posted on blogs for each team or project. Most discussions happen in comment threads, chat rooms or on Skype. If you care about that project, you follow the blog. If you don't, you don't.
Blogs, and P2s in particular, are designed to serve each employee's individual needs:
1. Readers, not senders, choose what gets read
Employees can pick which project blogs they want to follow and can ignore the ones that have no value for their work.
2. Readers choose how often and in what form they want to read
There are many different tools available for reading blog posts. If you really want to receive post updates by email, you can! But you get to choose. So if email's not your thing, no problem. You can use RSS or other methods.
3. Blogs are easy to access, search and reference
That great list of ideas you wrote a year ago won't get buried and lost in people's inboxes. As a blog post, the link will always be available and can be searched and skimmed just like all the blogs on the Web you read every day.
Of course, there's more to the story. WordPress has no schedules. There are few meetings and fewer rules. And the kicker to all of it is every employee works remotely from anywhere in the world they want. How do employees in such a progressive culture still get work done? You'll have to read the book to find out!

Former Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has said he will continue from where he left off in 1997 to ensure a constitution like the one his government enacted in 1997.
In a speech at University of Fiji's School of Law on Tuesday this week, the SODELPA Leader said he remained confident and hopeful that "our country will return to genuine democracy and constitutional legality and legitimacy."
He also outlined what his vision was for Fiji.
"In the event SODELPA, the party that I have been entrusted to lead, wins the majority number of seats in parliament in the 2018 general elections, I shall resume the work that Hon Jai Ram Reddy and I started in the 1997 constitution. And this is to develop in full consultation with the people of Fiji, and with an all-parties consensus decision in parliament for a review of the 2013 Fiji constitution," he said.
"The purpose of such a review will be ensure that the constitution genuinely reflects the wishes and the aspirations of "We the people of Fiji."
He also elaborated why he was opposed to the usage of "Fijian" as the common name.
"For an indigenous iTaukei, to be called a "Fijian" means much more than being a citizen of Fiji. It means being registered in the iVola ni Kawa Bula (VKB) (Fijian registry) as a member of a customary landowning mataqali (clan). It is for this reason, that it has been very hard for many iTaukei to understand the Bainimarama regime's rationale for unilaterally appropriating the name "Fijian" for use as the common name of all Fiji citizens," he said.
THE burning question from April 2018 to October 2018 will be: when will Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama dissolve parliament to pave the way for the 2018 general election?
According to Fiji's 2013 constitution, parliament can be dissolved anytime between 3 years 6 months of the last parliament sitting to the day the first time parliament sat 4 years ago.
After the 2014 elections, parliament sat for the first time on 6 October 2014, which gives a window of 6 April 2018 to 6 October 2018, between which time the PM can dissolve parliament.
If it is dissolved on 6 April and writ of elections issued on the same day, general election will be held 44 days later. Nominations are to be filed within 14 days after the writ and elections to be held after 30 days.
Likewise, if parliament is dissolved on 6 October, add 44 days after that for Fijians to go the polls.No doubt the 2018 elections will be the mother of all elections.

HOW can one predict the result for next month's general elections in Samoa, now? Smartphones, that's how. Similar to other island states, Samoa has embraced mobile phones with almost alarming ease.
Blank pageYet clicking on the Tautua Samoa Party website reveals a white page, blank except for admin folders, but no visible content. In a country where nearly everyone has a mobile, and significant percentages check Facebook, the opposition's social networking skills also seem dismal, with just ten people liking the latest post at time of writing – a photo from their sixth birthday, in December.
A few likes, but no comments. Old school The opposition Tautua party has instead gone the opposite direction, apparently dumping the website in favour of an oldschool newspaper. With tens of thousands of social network users in Samoa, that approach and the lack of response does not bode well for notions of political regime change any time soon. In fact, many are predicting the elections are over before they've even begun. "Tui will get it again", is the common wisdom heard around town, and islands. Will he?

A Daily-Driver Turned Wild
Maybe wild isn't quite the right word to describe Gary Kinion's '69 Chevy CST C10 Fleetside shortbed, but the effort he went to, to build the ultimate resto-rod pickup sure was. The saga of Gary's '69 Chevy C10 started roughly 13 years prior to the actual date of when Gary and his son blew the Omaha Orange and White shortbed down to the bare frame. Gary found the truck one early Sunday morning while at the Long Beach Veterans swap meet where a friend had the truck up for sale. He really liked how unmolested and highly optioned the Chevy was right down to its factory-original orange-and-white two-tone paintjob. For his weekend cruiser Gary already owned a '72 2WD Blazer that was dressed to the nines, so for his daily-driver he chose to run the '69 pretty much as is. Then one day almost before they realized what had happened, one thing led to another and the Kinion boys found themselves staring at a bare chassis sitting up on four jack stands. Going from the bare frame up was a first for Gary, but dealing with the right places to get trick parts for a C10 Chevy wasn't. In the next town over from where Gary lives in Garden Grove, California, lays the city of Anaheim and the Chevrolet high-performance suspension experts at Classic Performance Products. The first thing to do to the '69 was set a lowered stance and upgrade the steering and stock drum brakes. Up front, Gary installed a set of CPP 1- inch drop coils in between upper and lower tubular controls arms from CPP. To drop the front end an additional 2.5 inches a pair of CPP modular spindles were put into place. For damping, a pair of KYB gas shock absorbers were mounted using Classic Performance Products' shock mounting kit that offers twice the support of a stock factory shock mount and eliminates the tendency for the top mount to tear out of the frame. Spanning between the CPP tubular arms is a CPP heavy-duty sway bar tucked up closer to the crossmember to prevent scraping the sway bar by using CPP's special kit to address this problem. For brakes, Gary installed CPP 12-inch disc brakes at all four corners assisted with a CPP dual master-cylinder and power brake booster. To maintain an early classic look Gary used CPP 6-lug rotors front and rear to tuck behind 17-inch Intro Twisted Vista 6's shod with Nitto Extreme Performance tires. At front the wheels are 17×8-inch with 4 3/4 inches of backspacing and the rears are 17×10-inch with 4 1/2 inches of backspacing. To go with the front tires are 255/50/17 and the rears are 275/50/17. To take advantage of the extra g's Gary's C10 can pull, there's a CPP "quick-ratio" steering box attached to the end of an N.O.S. tilt-steering column topped with an N.O.S. rosewood steering wheel. The dashboard features a complete CST gauge cluster including factory tach and speed warning. For tunes Gary installed an N.O.S. ACDelco AM/FM radio with 4×6-inch titanium bone speakers. Climate control and safety is thanks to factory A/C and a pair of, which Gary told us is rare, stock seat-belts with an optional shoulder harness. The original factory bucket seats and console was done in black by Francisco Auto Upholstery of Long Beach, California. Feeding 12-volt current from bumper-to-bumper is an N.O.S.-style wiring harness from M&H Electric Fabricators of Santa Fe Springs, California. Underneath the console resides a beefed Tubro 400 automatic transmission built by Mark Bell at Wilson & Bell Automotive in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Under the hood there's a '69 396-inch 0.30-over Rat motor built by Ross Wilson of Ross Wilson Racing Engines also out of Rancho Cucamonga.
The fully-balanced engine features an Edelbrock Performer aluminum intake manifold topped with a Q-Jet carburetor, and uses stock exhaust manifolds to dump out of a pair of Flowmaster mufflers routed through 3×5-inch holes standard in all CPP LDL crossmembers. A four-row Harrison radiator fixes the cooling problems normally associated with a 396. To hook it all up, a one-piece driveshaft from Unitrax mates to a 3.73:1 12-bolt rearend hung at the correct pinion angle also thanks to the CPP LDL crossmember. A third benefit of the CPP LDL crossmember is ground clearance. For rear suspension and a slammed stance there's a pair of CPP 4-inch drop springs, with 1-inch lowering blocks damped with a pair of KYB gas shocks.
Looking at the '69's exterior shows off front and rear bumpers custom chrome-plated by Orange County Plating of Orange, California. If that's not enough orange for you, the Hugger Orange and White paint and bodywork was done by Nacho at Coachwerks in Long Beach, California. Gary said with the help of his son Cody and friends, Brent, Phil, and Ross the '69 took about 4 1/2 years to build. Additionally Gary wanted special thanks to go out to Seth Doulton from the original Golden State Pickup Parts and Jim Ries at Classic Performance Products.

THE TRAVELLER. Your very humble servant, sir, What may I serve to you ? We've lemonade and ginger beer, And soda water, too.

THE CIRCUS. T'was in the Christmas holidays, The ground was white with snow, When we all went to Astley's, And sat in the front row. Oh dear! the wondrous sights we saw!

I think if I may choose my trade, When I am older grown, I'd like above all other things, At Astley's to be clown. j ;:;,"; 9 ;?\ ..1. !I --:1, oLtcSa r. ---- ?i u- i;i ;I:wureri: i, 7r "' 4 ' "F T,IVI'-ICid;. _r ,-s fk7~t flI THE SAILOR BOY'S SONG.

" Buds and Flowers" was pretty you sold me last year, And Schnick-Schnack," I also admired; But now I have grown a year older, you see, And of those childish books I am tired, "Then here, Sir, I think, is just what you want, I am sure it will give you delight, It's the prettiest book I have in my shop, Full of pictures, all coloured so bright."

"Oh, Tommy, this is very bad," Said solemn Mr. Fink, Upon your nice new copy book, You've made a blot of ink. You have not copied what I set, But scribbled on the page, Why little Arthur does as well, Who is not half your age. He never draws between the lines Long straggling tails of kites, Nor places crowing cocks upon The capitals he writes. f I ",I-- r (PT1 i p, ". ... .- F' i C-I - THE GROCER'S SHOP. "An ounce, if you please, of the very best tea, Pray let its flavour be fine." "A pound and a half of butter for me, And a bottle of currant wine." " My mother has sent for some treacle," says Jack, Please put it into this jug." But when he is served he does not go back. But stands peeping into the mug. Poor Janet has got little money to buy, But she has some butter to sell, So the grocer he takes her butter to try, And gives baby a sweetie as well. FATHER'S DINNER. " Now guess what we've bought you for dinner to-day," Says neat little Katie Price, " Mother told us, be sure and run all the way, Because it is something nice. "I give you three guesses, you cannot have more; Once! twice! no, that will not do. It is not boiled mutton, you said that before. What think you of Irish stew!"

Reading Specialist Certification
The reading specialist certification (K-12) program is designed for individuals who possess a minimum Level I instructional certification and wish to focus on expanding their skills to improve reading achievement in their school or district by serving as master teachers, coaches or instructional specialists in K-12 school reading programs.
Preparing Reading Specialists and Master Teachers
The program has a dual focus: the preparation of reading specialists and the development of master teachers in reading. The curriculum concentrates on providing the student with extensive preparation in assessment and instruction in the area of literacy. During the five-week capstone internship, students utilize their knowledge from previous coursework. Upon completion, students are eligible to take the Pennsylvania reading specialist PRAXIS exam and apply for a reading specialist certification.
A Program with Clearly Defined Goals:
- Students will understand the psychological and sociological factors that shape literacy acquisition.
- Students will be able to utilize a battery of assessment measures to understand and address students' literacy needs.
- Students will be able to act as a consultant in planning the direction and supervision of a school's reading program.
- Students will be able to interpret the philosophy, methods and materials of literacy program for parents and the community.
- Students will be able to analyze, design, implement and evaluate literacy curricula.
The reading specialist certification (K-12) may be combined with a M.S. in education in the teacher education or special education areas or completed as a stand-alone certification for certified teachers.
Hands-on Experience
Each year, the program offers a summer reading clinic that provides students the opportunity to participate in a hands-on field experience serving as teaching interns in a six-week reading camp for Philadelphia-area school children. This clinic focuses on providing school children enhanced instructional support to develop reading comprehension and higher-level thinking skills. Under the supervision of the program director and faculty, reading specialist graduate interns assist in developing individualized assessment and educational plans and deliver supervised group instruction to these children.

Attempting to rebuild glibc with makepkg the process dies owing to the need for kernel headers in /usr/src/linux/include. I have no /usr/src/linux/include but rather a /usr/src/linux-2.4.21/include, which, I suspect, has something to do with the fact that I built my kernel from source during installation. Am I right to conclude that this problem is solved by creating a /usr/src/linux/include and creating a symlink to /usr/src/linux-2.4.21/include or will I be setting myself up for a problem by doing so?
If you compile your own kernel, you should _always_ have a symbolic link /usr/src/linux that points to /usr/src/linux-version-you-are-using.
[john@limbo john]$ ls -l /usr/src/ | grep linux
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Oct 2 20:37 linux -> linux-2.6.0-test6
The reason for this, as you are finding out now, is that whenever you compile something that needs the kernel source/headers, it will look to /usr/src/linux.
Don't forget to post your PKGBUILD in your thread when you announce a new package in incoming.
see HERE for details
my bet would be that yes the version numbering in that directory name would throw off the build process. i was always under the impression that one was supposed to create just /usr/src/linux.
now as for "fixing" it (not that it is really broken) you could relink to /usr/src/ linux but i don't know if that would force you to recompile. another option may be to link /usr/src/linux-2.4.21 to /usr/src/linux. being the lazy type i would try the latter first.
good luck and i am glad that you have located what was causing you troubles.
(oh yeah another option may be looking in configure --help to see if you can just set the path to /usr/src/linux-2.4.21 or you could (ugh) patch the makefile or other source)
AKA uknowme
I am not your friend
From what you've said, I'd conclude that the proper steps for me to take would be these:
mkdir /usr/src/linux
cd /usr/src
ln -s linux-2.4.21 linux
And running ls I should see, among other things, something like this:
linux --> linux-2.4.21
Have I got this right? The ln -s command should show version file first and generic file second, not the other way around, and be executed from the /usr/src directory? As I understand it from the manual, that's the correct order, but before running it I'd like to confirm that.
yes that is correct
AKA uknowme
I am not your friend
Thanks for the confirmation.
not a problem i am always happy to help (honestly).
i really do hope this helps you finally get glibc compiled to your desired specs. you have been at it for quite sometime and deserve to be rewardeed for your efforts.
one thing you may want to try (i did this when i was first trying to use makeworld for building i586 packages on a non i586 computer) when you next run makeworld is sending the compiling info to a file. the file end out being VERY large sizewise but it gives you all of the output from the compilation procedure which can be much more help than the output of the two logfiles makeworld creates, especially if the build dies ing the compile process and not at the end or beginning of the build before the build{} is executed. if i remember correctly i did it something like this:
makeworld -bc /var/abs/i586pkgs <desireddirectorytobuild> >> compile.log
sorry i forgot to mention this a long time ago but it slipped my mind until today
AKA uknowme
I am not your friend
I'm afraid we were far too quick to conclude that I'd understood how to create that symbolic link. The command I entered simply linked /usr/src/linux-2.4.21 to /usr/src/linux-2.4.21 in the /usr/src/linux directory; basically, it linked itself, hardly what we want! The ln -s command continues to baffle me. I've never understood the mechanism well enough to get it to do what I'd like and the man page is of no help whatsoever.
Anyway, here's what happened and here's what I'm trying to achieve:
1. I started all this with a /usr/src/linux-2.4.21 directory but no /usr/src/linux directory because I'd built the kernel from source during installation. As we know, to build glibc (and anything else requiring kernel headers) I need a /usr/src/linux directory and a link from it to /usr/src/linux-2.4.21.
2. So I created a /usr/src/linux directory.
3. From the working directory I ran ln -s linux-2.4.21 linux and got output from ls showing no change whatsoever in /usr/src. Past failures with symbolic links caused me to examine /usr/src/linux and there I discovered linux-2.4.21 ---> linux-2.4.21! I removed it, of course.
4. Flummoxed, and, I confess, not a little frustrated, I tried ln -s the other way around and got a similar result in /usr/src/linux-2.4.21. I removed that too.
5. What I want, of course is something that looks like this after listing /usr/src:
linux --> linux-2.4.21
God knows, I don't know how to produce this result. Can you or anyone else help? I'm lost.
jlowell, don't make the directory.
/usr/src/linux is a file, not a directory. It is a file that points to a directory. The following is all you have to do, assuming that /usr/src/linux does _not_ exist at all.
[john@limbo john]$ su -
[root@limbo root]# cd /usr/src/
[root@limbo src]# ln -s linux-2.6.0-test6 linux
[root@limbo src]# ls -l linux
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Oct 3 22:18 linux -> linux-2.6.0-test6
[root@limbo src]#

geesh i am really sorry about confirming that my brain must be asleep. it has been a long day indeed. i must have focused on the rest of the commands more than the mkdir part. (not to mention it has been several months since i have built a kernel) next time i will check my sources before charging in and leading you down the path like that. i am very embarassed. :oops:
also about my output to a file suggestion it seems it does not work at the moment. i tried it out when i got home. i will ask judd about it to see if there is someway to do this because it really is helpful in many case to see exactly what went wrong with a build.
AKA uknowme
I am not your friend
aha i think i've got it. just direct the output to a file outside /var/abs (if that is where your abs is you may not have to direct the output to an exterior file if you still have your abs in /usr) like so:
sudo makeworld -bc /var/abs/custompkgs base >
if you are successful with directing the output to a file it will appear as though the command did not work as your promt wil move to a new line without your standard prompt. of course this is not the case it is just sending all that you would have seen on your screen to your file. your standard prompt will return when makeworld is done.
AKA uknowme
I am not your friend
You can also use "tee"
[john@limbo acidrip]$ sudo makeworld -bc /var/abs/custompkgs base 2>&1 | tee -a /home/john/makeworld.log
This will allow you to see the output from the command, as well as have all stdout and stderr (sp?) messages piped to tee which appends it to makepkg.log (the -a means append).
Don't forget the 2>&1 after the command before you pipe it to tee.

Ah yes, red_over_blue to the rescue! God bless you, man, I was really pulling my hair out over this one. I even tried juryrigging something using the third approach to the syntax offered by the ln man page. It crashed and burned, of course.
So the problem here is that I ran mkdir /usr/src/linux? As someone once remarked, "who'd a thunk it". I'm happy to tell you that I've successfully created the link and that glibc is compiling as we speak. Thanks very much for having taken a hand in this matter.
Not to worry, all's well that ends well. I appreciate your sincere attempt to be helpful and am grateful for that.
No problem, just glad I could help. As for sarah31, I think with the hour a night sleep she has probably been getting trying to get the monstrosity that is OOo to compile we should just be grateful she even reads the posts in the forums, not to mention taking care of "incoming" too.
Also, I hope you didn't miss the "tee" comment I made in this thread, as it is an under-used tool that is very useful.

When I first installed Arch back in August, I thought I'd try using makeworld to rebuild the base system binaries. Gyroplast introduced me to it at the time so I ran it. Of the sixty or seventy packages I then had installed it rebuilt all but about twelve. More than half of the remainder had had their urls change so there was nothing intrinsically wrong with the build scripts that a little research and editing wouldn't fix. groff, glibc and a couple of others were more recalcitrant though. We now know that groff appears quite ill because of a GNU security problem and that glibc had this kernel header thing, of course. But if I remember correctly, there is no mechanism in makeworld that permits you to exclude certain packages from installation. I mean I'm running Arch with reiserfs and had no need for jfsutils, for example, but it built and installed jfsutils anyway. I know you can exclude packages with pacman. But if you're using the -i option with makeworld aren't you compelled to accept the whole of a package group?
Anyway, next time I do a system rebuild (I've got Arch on three workstations here and am still at work rebuilding the first one as Sarah knows) I'll keep a log file using makeworld and the tee approach. It sounds as though it would be quite helpful should something break.
But if I remember correctly, there is no mechanism in makeworld that permits you to exclude certain packages from installation. I mean I'm running Arch with reiserfs and had no need for jfsutils, for example, but it built and installed jfsutils anyway.

Consider the following when implementing the attribute encryption feature:
As a general best practice when modifying attribute encryption configuration, you should export your data, make the configuration changes, and then import the newly configured data.
This will ensure that all configuration changes are taken into account in their entirety, without any loss in functionality. Failing to do so could result in some functionality loss and thus compromise the security of your data.
Modifying attribute encryption configuration on an existing database can have a significant impact on system performance.
For example, imagine that you have a database instance with existing data. The database contains previously stored entries with an attribute called mySensitiveAttribute. The value of this attribute is stored in the database and in the index files in clear text, . If you later decide to encrypt the mySensitiveAttribute attribute, all the data in the database instance must be exported and re-imported into the database to ensure that the server updates the database and index files with the attribute encryption configuration. The resulting performance impact could have been avoided had the attribute been encrypted from the beginning.
When exporting data in decrypted format, the export is refused if an incorrect password is used.
To be able to use the dsconf command with the -y or -–decrypt-attr option, set the set password prompt mode on and choose a certificate database password as described in Configuring the Certificate Database Password.
As a security measure, the server prompts users for passwords if they want to export data in decrypted format. Should users provide an incorrect password, the server refuses the decrypted export operation. Passwords can be entered directly or by providing the path to a file that contains the password. Note that this file has the same syntax as the SSL password file. See Configuring the Certificate Database Password.
Algorithm changes are supported, but the result can be lost indexing functionality if they are not made correctly.
To change the algorithm used to encrypt data, export the data, modify the attribute encryption configuration, and then import the data. If you do not follow this procedure, the indexes that were created on the basis of the initial encryption algorithm will no longer function.
Because the encrypted attributes are prefaced with a cipher tag that indicates the encryption algorithm used, the internal server operations take care of importing the data. Directory Server therefore enables you to export data in encrypted form before making the algorithm change.
Changing the server's SSL certificate results in your not being able to decrypt encrypted data.
The server's SSL certificate is used by the attribute encryption feature to generate its own key, which is then used to perform the encryption and decryption operations. Thus, the SSL certificate is required to decrypt encrypted data. If you change the certificate without decrypting the data beforehand, you cannot decrypt the data. To avoid this, export your data in decrypted format, change the certificate, and then re-import the data.
To transport data in encrypted format, that is, to export and import it from one server instance to another, both server instances must use the same certificate.
For information, see "Encrypting Attribute Values" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administration Guide for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. -- The Tennessee Tech women's basketball team dispatched the Southeast Missouri Redhawks Monday night in Cape Girardeau, 64-51, for a key road victory in the Ohio Valley Conference. It was a must-win for the Golden Eagles to stay in the hunt for the league's top seed.
Four different Tech players scored in the double-figures, highlighted by T'Keyah Williams recording her fourth double-double of the season with 10 points and 13 rebounds. Lashay Davis and Jala Harris had game-highs of 15 points each. Davis went 3-for-6 from behind the arc, making two in the second half.
Senior Kellie Cook also tossed in three 3-pointers, finishing 3-for-4 from behind the arc for nine points, while Diamond Henderson finished with 11, shooting 50 percent from the floor.
The Golden Eagles opened the contest putting the pressure on the Redhawks in a rare full-court press. SEMO struggled to find a rhythm but Tech settled into the nest, shooting 47 percent from the floor, pushing out to a 21-9 lead halfway through the first.
Tech spread the floor, thanks to exceptional guard play, but key defensive stops stiffled the Redhawks as the Golden Eagles turned up seven steals in the first 20 minutes of play. The Golden Eagles headed into the locker room with a 35-24 advantage.
The second half began with a streak of shots by the Golden Eagles as Tech scored in its first four possessions. Harris struck first on a jumper from the top of the key before intercepting a SEMO pass and finding Davis on the break. Davis then hit a wide-open three in the corner, forcing a Redhawk timeout three minutes into the half. Unfazed, Kellie Cook threw in another three to give Tech it's largest lead of the game at 19 at the 15:44 mark.
Eight minutes and 37 seconds later, the Golden Eagles made their first field goal since taking the 19-point lead. The Redhawks held Tech to just two free throws during the stretch. Williams broke the draught at 6:17, but the Redhawks kept charging, coming within eight. Williams kept the Golden Eagles ahead, thanks to physcial play in the paint.
Williams scored six points in the final minutes of the game but Davis sealed the deal with two free throws to end the game, 64-51.
Tech returns to the Eblen Center for its final two games of the
regular season, beginning Thursday when Eastern Kentucky visits for
a 5:30 p.m. tipoff.
According to head coach Jim Davis, "Thursday is the biggest game of the year. It's a tremendous opportunity for Tennessee Tech women's basketball. We need the home court advantage, so get there early, wear purple and be proud."
For ticket information, visit or call the Athletics Ticket Office in Eblen Center at (931) 372-3940. It;s Fan Appreciation Week, so fans will receive one free ticket with each ticket purchased.

We're back! I got some feedback that people missed the Take Five digests — and I did, too — so I've decided to try to alternate feature posts with digest posts. Should make for better digests. Also, welcome to any new readers I picked up when my list of the best songs of 2010 (so far) got featured on the WordPress.com homepage. Thanks, everyone, for reading!
In the News
Amanda Palmer. Not so much a topic of news as a force of nature, really. I'm not in the AFP cult, but I've noticed a couple of cool things she's been up to, and I had to share.
She wrote a really great blog post after Lady Gaga's shows in Boston, talking about how Gaga can help convince people that being authentic — even if authentic means totally off-your-nut weird — is OK, and can even be a pathway to success.
and then i think….maybe lady gaga can be like a gateway drug to the teenagers of the world…through her they may find a voice, a liberation, a david bowie record.
most importantly, a PERMISSION. i imagine a totally isolated and confused kid in the outskirts of suburban nevada who has never seen life outside of a shopping mall seeing gaga doing her hijinks and thinking:
this is what the world needs – artists who, no matter what their personal path may be, will inspire other people to reach deeper, try harder, be more authentic.
Speaking of authenticity, Palmer recorded a short EP of Radiohead covers. Performed by her. On a magical ukelele. You can download the digital version for a minimum of $.84, but the limited-edition vinyl already sold out. In fact, she sold $15,000 of merchandise in just three minutes and 4,000 copies of the EP on the day of its release. (Too bad that came a few weeks before Bandcamp instituted revenue sharing.) The EP is actually quite good — definitely worth $.84, and probably a bit more.
- My Gregory Brothers obsession continues unabated. Now, I'm captivated by the works of Michael Gregory, in particular "Just a Little While" and "OMG." If these little pop gems don't get trapped in your brain, you may be un-American.
- …Kittens? One of my favorite music blogs, Music for Kids Who Can't Read Good, compiled a selection of artists whose album covers feature kittens. Yes, kittens. If the kittens aren't win enough, they also include MP3s from each of the albums.
Find of the Week
- Ah, WERS, you've done it again. This time, it was by playing "Grindstone" by Jackie Greene, an bluesy singer-songwriter hailing from California. That led to me acquiring his new album, "Till the Light Comes," which came out last month.
- So, er, it's not from this week, but a few weeks ago, I was in JP and eating lunch at City Feed when I found the July copy of Counter the Cultural Compass, a one-page music zine chock full of information about local shows. It looks like it just started up this spring. I'm not sure its distribution reaches as far north of the Charles as I am, but I hope to scrounge up future copies. Good stuff.
- Also, my mixes from the Grinding Tapes mix project finally came in the mail. Yay! I've only listened to one so far, an "oldies" mix featuring Kansas, Judy Garland, Stevie Wonder, The Buggles, Peter Gabriel, The Turtle, Soft Cell, and Marvin Gaye, among others. A surefire recipe for awesome. More reviews to come.
Around the Web
- Never thought I'd get pitched via Last.fm, but there you go. That was how I found out about The Sharp Things raising money for their new album via Kickstarter. The Sharp Things produce a great brand of epic, orchestral pop, and judging by their description — "full-on on rawk songs, plaintive heartwrenchers and its signature lush stuff" — this new album should be pretty great.
- I love Girl Talk as much as the next person, but a group I feel deserves some extra love is The Hood Internet. They also crank out some pretty fabulous mashups. Paste recently compiled their take on the top 15 Hood Internet cuts of all-time, but feel free to scour their vast repository of awesome yourself — most, if not all, of it is free to download.
- dysonsound offers a lovely exploration of Jon Brion's "Her Ghost."
- A fun interview with pop statesmen Mike Viola and Adam Schlesinger. So sad to miss their shows in NYC and Philly this weekend, but if you're in those areas, you need to see them perform!
- The sad news is that Twisted Village record store in Harvard Square has closed. The good news is that their basement space will be filled by Armageddon Shop Boston. Glad to see another music shop will fill the void left by Twisted Village's closure. Related: the 2008 documentary "I Need That Record!", recently released on DVD, explores the widespread demise of the record shop.
- Could the Cars — my first favorite band — be poised for a reunion? That would be just what I needed!
- Kay Hanley's new band Palmdale makes its Boston debut on Aug. 16 at TT the Bear's. Pop delight.
- Pernice to Me — now on video. As puppets!
New Releases
Well, it looks like Guster is coming out with a new album, "Easy Wonderful," on Oct. 5. I've been a huge fan since college and have loved every one of their albums — except their last one, "Ganging Up on the Sun," which was downright awful. I would rather listen to howling monkeys run their nails across a chalkboard than listen to the trite, droning mess that is the single from that album, "Satellite."
Err, yeah. So, new album! Here's hoping it doesn't suck. You can download the track "Bad, Bad World" from their website for the cost of an e-mail address. Good news: it shows more signs of life than "Satellite." Bad news: Ryan Miller still sounds kind of bored. I wonder if they plan on reprising the great experiment of having Brian Rosenworcel write songs. Because on "Keep it Together," that ruled.
