The passing of someone you care about is undoubtedly emotionally challenging and dealing with the intricacies associated with his/her estate is often a demanding endeavor. There are numerous legal procedures involved with the administration and division of the property of an estate.
Before an Executor is officially appointed, papers have to be submitted in the Surrogate's Court. Executors are faced with the burden of learning the intricate legal procedures involved. With 20 years of experience, I understand how to hasten the process of estate administration. As a New York probate attorney I am focused on steering those faced with fiduciary responsibilities through this process smoothly and successfully.
Probate in New York is the method by which a Will is established to the Surrogate's Court to be the legitimate Last Will and Testament of the decedent. Jurisdiction is acquired over all interested persons who are provided a chance to oppose the Will before its admission to Probate and the individual designated in the Will as Executor is appointed to carry out the wishes of the decedent.
In New York a Will only has to undergo Probate if the assets of the estate are valued at $30,000 or more. If the decedent died without a Will, an Administration proceeding should be filed instead of a Probate. Flat fee probate arrangements available.
Administration is the procedure whereby Letters are issued to an eligible distributee of the decedent who died without having a Will. Letters is the name for a legal document entrusting a person with the administration of the estate of a decedent.
In the absence of a Will, New York State law establishes the rules for the distribution of a decedent's estate. For that reason, a determination has to be made concerning who are and who are not distributees. Upon completion of the Administration process, the court names an Administrator having identical authority and rights as an Executor. Flat fee administration arrangements available.
The probate process and estate administration ought to advance smoothly and without problems, provided that the goals of a decedent are plainly expressed and legally sound. But the process could be delayed and lead to discord and litigation in a variety of situations.
As a New York estate litigation attorney I have the practical experience to help with these significant personal and financial matters. I recognize that great aggravation can come about from the process and I go out of my way to lead you through every phase of the process. I have litigated a wide array of problems that arise in will and trust disputes, accounting proceedings as well as other estate litigation matters.
Prior to the conclusion of the administration of an estate or trust, the fiduciary has to Account for his or her actions to the beneficiaries. The accounting could be as informal as a straightforward exchange of information or a formal court proceeding, dependant on the situation involved with a given estate or trust. These issues frequently call for legal representation to have the matter brought to a successful resolution.
With twenty years of practical experience I have produced and defended accountings for my clients throughout the New York Metropolitan region. Whether you are a fiduciary of an estate or a trustee needing to produce an accounting or if you are a beneficiary of a will or trust and you believe you are entitled to an accounting, as a New York probate attorney I will help you. My mission is to safeguard the rights of beneficiaries and to assist fiduciaries in performing their obligations.
When your nephew, niece or cousin dies without a Will, you may have a special circumstance known as a "kinship" case. Although aunts, uncles and cousins can certainly inherit, they must initially prove their relationship to the decedent via a "kinship proceeding." In New York, these particular estates are managed by the Public Administrator. Typically, the Public Administrator administers the Estate and files an Accounting with the Surrogate's Court. As part of the Accounting process, the Public Administrator asks the Court to ascertain who are the rightful heirs in a kinship hearing.
Having represented the Public Administrator for over ten years, I am highly experienced in kinship matters and I'm prepared to accept most kinship cases on a contingency fee basis. Although fees vary based upon the complexity of the case, I often charge significantly less than the one-
When someone dies, estate taxes may come due, and they can take a considerable chunk from the value of the estate. The counsel of an experienced estate tax attorney will assist you to control the estate tax burden. The laws on Estate and Gift Taxes are viewed to be among the most challenging in the Internal Revenue Code. The IRS, itself, strongly suggests that you visit with an estate tax practitioner who has considerable expertise in this field.
I can help keep the estate's tax liability at a manageable level, prepare all tax returns and make sure everything is filed on time.

It is Mars One's goal to establish a human settlement on Mars.
Human settlement of Mars is the next giant leap for humankind. Exploring the solar system as a united humanity will bring us all closer together.
Mars is the stepping stone of the human race on its voyage into the universe. Human settlement on Mars will aid our understanding of the origins of the solar system, the origins of life and our place in the universe. As with the Apollo Moon landings, a human mission to Mars will inspire generations to believe that all things are possible, anything can be achieved.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler said the City received only 72 pothole repair requests in the first five weeks of 2011, compared to 2,916 received during the same period last year, a decrease of 97.5 percent. Beutler said the City is still busy filling potholes, but not at the record-setting pace of last year. Crews filled 1,451 potholes in the first five weeks of this year, compared to 23,980 in the same period in 2010.
"Drivers are still seeing potholes in City streets, and we urge them to continue to report them to the City," said Mayor Beutler. "The milder winter is a big factor, but the rehabilitation of 20 miles of arterial streets last year is certainly making a difference as well." The City combined $9.3 million in federal stimulus funds with $6.9 million in local street funds to rehabilitate arterial streets throughout Lincoln. More projects are planned for 2011 and 2012.
Residents can report potholes and other non-emergency street problems in three ways:
Last year at this time, the City was using private contractors and staff from other City divisions and departments for pothole repair. About six crews of City employees are now filling potholes on arterial streets and responding to complaints. The number of personnel hours devoted to potholes the first five weeks of the year dropped from 6,802 in 2010 to 975 in 2011.
"This represents an enormous savings for the City and demonstrates the long-term benefits of regular investment in our streets," Beutler said.
From January through August of 2010, the City received 7,179 pothole repair requests and filled 79,857 potholes using 27,697 personnel hours. From November 29 through the first week of February, the City has received 145 pothole repair requests and has filled 2,477 using 2,524 personnel hours.

Athletics Director Mark Massari announced Friday the naming of the academics and student-athlete support wing of the Intercollegiate Athletics Building in honor of Jim and Cheryl Barber.
The dedication ceremony will be held on Saturday, April 27 at 11:00 a.m. In the Intercollegiate Athletics Building on campus and the media is invited.
A generous Enhancement Gift, given anonymously to the university for athletics, is valued at approximately a half million dollars and will bestow the name Barber Academic & Student Success Center on the area that serves all 500 student-athletes and 20 programs daily. Gaucho athletes currently hold the second highest NCAA graduation rate in the prestigious U.C. system.
The gift honors UCSB alum Jim Barber ('67 Mathematics), football letter winner and Vietnam veteran who has lived with the progressive neurodegenerative disease ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) since 2006, and his wife Cheryl ('66 Physical Education).
"Like Jim, Cheryl and many of our alumni, as a Gaucho, you can be a scholar, an athlete and a success in every area of life," Massari said. "The Barber's epitomize this and I'm so excited that the area that serves our student-athletes academically and the services we provide to ensure they are successful as people as well, will honor them. The true beauty of the gift allows us to keep a legacy of Gauchos connected while assisting our mission to provide additional resources necessary for future student-athletes."
Jim, a retired attorney ('73 Hastings College of the Law), collaborated closely with the ALS Association's Greater Bay Area Chapter in helping to initiate the passage of two important state laws that assist Californians living with what is commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease. Jim was honored with the prestigious 2010 Iron Horse Award at the ALS Association and serves on the Association's California ALS Advocacy Committee (CAAC) which helped to advance the passage of SB 1502 and SB 1503. Jim and Cheryl were selected to stand on the field with other ALS families at the Giants' AT&T Park in San Francisco on July 4th, 2009 for the MLB's 4ALS presentation.
Jim is a former member of the Board of Directors of the UC Santa Barbara Alumni Association and a founding member of the athletics alumni letter winners' board (now called The Gaucho Order). In June 2008, he was awarded the Graver Alumni Service Award for his work on the alumni board, most notably the initiation of the All Gaucho Reunion.
Prior to Jim's ALS diagnosis, Cheryl was Director of the Active Reading Clinic in Walnut Creek. She was also a Teacher and Teacher Trainer of the Reading Revolution method, a multi-sensory, multi-intelligence approach to reading. Cheryl retired from the reading clinic to become Jim's primary caregiver.
When not spreading awareness of ALS, advocating for others who live with Lou Gehrig's Disease or supporting today's Gaucho student-athletes, Jim and Cheryl enjoy spending time with their two children, their spouses and three grandchildren.
Each year Gaucho student-athletes are supported to honor Jim, Cheryl and the legacy of football through the Gaucho Fund, UCSB Athletics' annual giving program.

The compact Toshiba Canvio Connect offers a lot more than just its internal storage space. The drive includes backup software for Windows, NTFS drivers that enable Macs to read and write to the Windows file system, and Pogoplug PC, software that turns the drive's host computer into a personal cloud storage server.
Though it's not the fastest drive, the Canvio Connect performed decently in my testing, both with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 -- with the exception that the drive didn't work with some USB 2.0 ports I tried it out with.
If you don't already have a Pogoplug subscription and want to use the service, the Toshiba Canvio Connect is an exciting portable drive to buy, especially if your computer supports USB 3.0. Otherwise, at the suggested prices of $99, $110, $130, $170, and $190 for 500GB, 750GB, 1TB, 1.5TB, and 2TB capacities, respectively, the drive is significantly more expensive than its peers; you should probably wait for its price to come down. For alternatives, check out this list of excellent portable drives.
Design and setup
The Canvio Connect is very compact, about the same size as the WD My Passport Edge, with a shiny plastic chassis that's red on the top and bottom and black on the sides. The drive is also very light -- just 5.3 ounces -- and feels very sturdy in the hand. On one side, it has a Micro-USB 3.0 port, which works with the included standard USB 3.0 cable. This is the only cable you'll need to use the drive since it's bus-powered, meaning it's powered by the USB port to which it's connected.
In my trial, the drive worked with all USB 3.0 ports with no problems. With USB 2.0 ports, however, it was hit-and-miss. A few of the ports I tried it with didn't seem to provide enough juice to power the drive, especially those on the front of a desktop PC. Most, if not all, other portable hard drives I've reviewed had no problems with these front ports.
The Canvio Connect comes preformatted in NTFS, so if you're using it with a Windows computer, all you have to do is plug it in. On a Mac, you'll need to install Tuxera NTFS for Mac, included on the drive itself, before you can write to the drive. After that, you can also use the drive to back up your Mac using Time Machine.
For Windows, the Canvio Connect includes NTI Backup Now EZ, an easy-to-use automated backup program that worked very well in my testing.
The "Connect" part of the drive's name derives from the fact that it comes with Pogoplug PC, software that costs $30 if you buy it yourself. Pogoplug PC turns the drive's host computer into a personal cloud server -- as long as the machine is running and connected to the Internet. Now you can access your data, stored on the Canvio itself or on your computer's internal drive, remotely via mobile app. To learn more about how Pogoplug's system works, check out our

Greg Jackson isn't worried that his new role with Bellator will cause friction with the UFC.
"Like Randy (Couture), I've worked with Bellator before," the coach told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
"My fighters are my fighters. I think it's good for the sport. Even Dana (White) would admit it's good for the sport to have other organizations around, so I don't foresee any problems."
Jackson, who joins Couture, Frank Shamrock and Joe Warren as coaches on Bellator's new reality show "Fight Master", hasn't always been in the good graces of White, who has frequently criticized his style. And this week's announcement came days after the UFC president slammed Couture for joining the cast.
White didn't have the same public rebuke for Jackson, but the UFC executive is notoriously uncharitable to those with significant involvement in rival promotions.
And though Jackson was cast by Spike TV, which will air the reality show, his new gig brings him closer to Bellator.
Jackson, who coaches dozens of UFC and Bellator athletes with partner Mike Winkeljohn, might have called White to make sure there wouldn't be any hard feelings. But the trainer said he had to keep quiet so as not to leak news of the project, which begins filming this weekend in New Orleans.
Jackson will lead four welterweight hopefuls fighting to win a spot in the promotion's fall tournament. While the process will be filmed, the trainer doesn't think his role is that different from what he already does.
"The important thing is you can help as many people as you can help," he said. "This gives all of us, really, an opportunity to help these young fighters, up-and-coming, that work hard and deserve to have a place to showcase their skills. It's great that they have this place."
For more on Bellator's upcoming schedule, stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of the site.

TJ and the Time Stumblers: Ho-Ho-Nooo!
- Bill Myers Author
- 2011 28 Sep
EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is an excerpt from TJ and the Time Stumblers: Ho-Ho-Nooo! (Book #4) by Bill Myers (Tyndale House Publishers).
Beginnings . . .
Malibu, California, December 18
Begin Transmission:
Subject is not fond of video games. I, on the other hand (spit-spit), am not fond of geraniums.
End Transmission
"Fire proton torpedoes!" Captain Tuna shouted.
"Aye, aye, Captain!" the ever-loyal (and always dim-witted) Lieutenant Herby called back. But before Herby could reach over and push the button labeled
WARNING: Push only if you want to blow stuff up and make a real cool mess!
their spaceship was struck by a powerful explosion. The craft lurched violently to the left and was suddenly filled with the sounds of
"Row, row, row your boat—"
"Oh no!" Captain Tuna shouted.
"Oh what?" Lieutenant Herby shouted back.
"He hit us with the Stupid Song Bomb!"
"—gently down the stream."
Not only was the entire spacecraft filled with the silly stupidity, but so were the brains of the entire crew (i.e., Tuna and Herby—well, actually, only Tuna for sure, since medical science has yet to determine if Herby has a brain).
"Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily—"
"Augh!" Captain Tuna cried, grabbing his head in agony.
"Groovy!" Lieutenant Herby said, tapping his foot in ecstasy.
"Raise the deflector shields!" Captain Tuna shouted.
But Herby was too busy singing along to hear the orders.
Another explosion hit, throwing the craft to the right.
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you—"
Captain Tuna leaped from his chair and staggered toward the control panel. "Must . . . stop . . . the . . . music!"
But before he arrived, they were hit again.
"Jack and Jill went up the hill
to fetch a pail of—"
And again.
"Here we go round the mulberry bush,
the mulberry bush,
Just when Tuna was about to lose his mind (leaving the spacecraft with a grand total of zero minds), the singing was interrupted by an even worse sound.
"Greetings, zwork-oids!"
Tuna spun around and gasped. There, on the giant viewing screen, was the vilest of all villains, Bruce Bruiseabone. He stood on the bridge of his own spaceship, laughing his creepy
Captain Tuna watched in horror as the villainous man put his villainous hands on his villainous hips and spoke (what else?) villainously.
"And so, my mini-micro-minds, we meet again."
"What do you want from us, you fiendish fiend?" Tuna shouted.
"I want you to hand over the keys to your spacecraft."
"What?" Bruce shouted back. "You dare challenge me, the most villainous of all villains?"
"That's right!" Tuna yelled defiantly.
"We're the heroes of this story," Herby explained, "and heroes always win!"
"Have it your way." Bruce turned to one of his crew members and shouted, "Fire torpedoes!"
Once again the ship lurched, and Tuna's brain (and whatever there was of Herby's) filled with
"The itsy-bitsy spider
crawled up the water—"
"AUGH!" Tuna augh-ed.
"Shh," Herby shh-ed. "This is my favorite part."
"Down came the rain
and washed the spider—"
"Not only will you hand over your keys," Bruce shouted again, "but you will give me those giant foam dice hanging from your rearview mirror."
"Oh no!" Tuna cried. "Not the foam dice!"
"Guys?" a female voice suddenly called from below.
Another bomb struck:
"Are you sleeping, are you sleeping?
Brother John? Brother—?"
"Guys!" The female creature stuck her head up through the spaceship's floor. She had dark hair, wore glasses, and was incredibly smoot (at least according to Herby—well, all right, according to Tuna, too). "What are you two doing?" she shouted.
Immediately Tuna grabbed his Swiss Army Knife (sold at 23rd-century time-travel stores everywhere) and closed the blade. The holographic video game disappeared. No more spacecraft, no more Bruce Bruiseabone, and no more irritating music. The fancy starship had changed back into a dusty attic.
"Hey," Herby complained, "I was really getting into that song."
He got a frown from the female—a seventh-grade girl better known as Thelma Jean Finkelstein (TJ to her friends—all four of them, if you count her goldfish and hamster). She'd just moved from Missouri to Malibu, California (which explains why she had only four friends). If that wasn't bad enough, she had become the history project of Herby and Tuna, a couple of goofball teenagers from the 23rd century who'd traveled back in time to do a school report on her. Apparently she was going to grow up to become somebody important (if she survived junior high).
Unfortunately, the guys' time-travel pod had run out of fuel and they were stuck here.
Unfortunatelier (don't try that word in English class), TJ was the only one who could see them.
Unfortunateliest (the same goes for that word), people could still hear them.
"I told you," she whispered, "no video games after nine o'clock."
"We were just practicing." Herby flipped aside his surfer bangs and flexed his muscles. (He was always flexing his muscles to try to impress TJ.)
Tuna explained, "We need to be prepared in case Bruce Bruiseabone reappears."
"I thought he went back to the 23rd century," TJ said.
"He did," Herby agreed as he spotted a tiny fly buzzing around the room.
Tuna continued. "However, there's no telling when he'll show up again to torment us."
"Or—" Herby lowered his voice and watched the fly buzz toward the attic window—"what form he'll take when he does."
"Listen, guys," TJ said. "You can practice all you want when I'm at school and nobody's home."
"How can we protect you at school if we're practicing at home?" Tuna asked.
"My point exactly," TJ said. "I've told you a hundred times I don't want you following me." She paused to watch Herby tiptoe toward the window.
"Understood," Tuna said. "However—"
He was interrupted by the sound of Herby leaping at the fly. But Herby's leaper was a little lame and he was unable to stop at the window. Instead, he sort of
leaped through the glass and
roll, roll, roll
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
tumbled down the roof until he
landed in the flower bed.
Tuna and TJ raced to the window.
"Herby, are you all right?" TJ cried.
"Wuaff mwabom!" Herby replied (which is the best anyone can reply with a mouthful of geraniums).
"Mwi maid (spit- spit) false alarm," he finally shouted. He held out his hand and revealed one very squashed fly. "It wasn't Bruce after all!"
"Excellent news," Tuna shouted.
Of course it would have been more excellent if TJ's father wasn't shouting from downstairs, "What's going on up there? TJ, are you okay?"
Luckily, Tuna had an answer for everything. (The answer was usually wrong, but he always had one.) Without a word, he pulled open the Reverse Beam Blade of his Swiss Army Knife and
Raaaapha . . .
Reeeepha . . . Riiiipha . . .
that had happened
"!hcuO !hcuO !hcuO"
llor, llor, llor
was put into
reverse, until
Herby was back in the attic having the conversation about not following TJ to school.
Not that TJ was surprised. It was just another average, run-of-the-mill evening for TJ Finkelstein and her time stumblers.
* * * * *
TJ climbed down the attic steps and headed toward her bedroom. As she passed Violet's door, she saw that her middle sister still had the lights on. No surprise there. Violet always had her lights on. How else could she read 50 books a day, be president of every club in her school, and become dictator of the world before she was 16?
TJ pushed open the door to see Violet standing on a ladder. She was writing numbers on a big thermometer chart that stretched up to the ceiling.
"What are you doing?" TJ asked.
Violet answered without turning. "I'm checking to see how much more money I need to earn for Daddy's gift."
"Gift?" TJ asked. "For what?"
"Christmas. It's only 6 days, 2 hours, 6 minutes, and 46 seconds from now." (Violet liked to be precise.)
"No way!" TJ cried in alarm. "It can't be!"
"You're right." Violet rechecked her watch. "It is now 6 days, 2 hours, 6 minutes, and 41 seconds." (See what I mean?)
TJ couldn't believe it. She'd been so caught up in all her junior-high migraine makers that she
hadn't even noticed it was December. It would have helped to have a few clues . . . like maybe a little less sunshine or the temperature dropping below 70 degrees. Still, if she'd been paying attention, she'd have noticed that the beach babes had changed from SPF 69 to SPF 41.
"I'm getting him an 82-inch plasma TV and installing it right in his bedroom," Violet said snootily. Violet didn't try to sound snooty; it just came naturally. "What are you getting him?"
"Something better than that," TJ said. TJ didn't try to compete with her sister . . . it just came naturally.
"Yeah?" Violet asked. "Like what?"
"Like . . . well, uh . . . it's a surprise!"
"Right," Violet snorted and went back to coloring her money thermometer.
"What? You don't think I can give Daddy a better gift than you?" TJ asked.
"Actually," Violet said, "I don't think you can do anything better than me."
TJ could feel her insides churning. She knew it would do no good to argue with her sister. Violet always thought she was right. To make matters worse, Violet always was right. (Well, except that one time when she thought she was wrong.) But she couldn't help saying, "Oh yeah?"
Violet gave no answer.
TJ pushed up her glasses and repeated, "Oh yeah?"
"Listen," Violet said, "don't take it personally. It's in our DNA. I got all of Mom's and Dad's brains and you got all of . . . all of . . . Well, I'm sure you got something. I mean it's not like you were adopted." She hesitated, then turned to TJ. "Were you?"
If TJ was mad before, she was outraged now. So outraged that she returned to her favorite argument. "Oh yeah?"
Violet sighed. "Haven't we already had this discussion?"
TJ wanted to fire back with a classy put-down, but somehow she knew another "oh yeah" wouldn't do the trick.
They both turned to see their youngest sister, Dorie, standing in the doorway. She was as cute as a button and almost as small.
"Can I borrow some markers?"
"Hey, Squid," TJ said. "Why are you out of bed?"
"I'm working on Daddy's Christmas gift."
"You too?" TJ groaned.
Dorie said. "I'm making him a tie clasp."
Her face beamed with excitement. "I already found the clothespin. Now I just need to color it with markers."
"You're giving Dad a clothespin for Christmas?" TJ asked.
Dorie shook her head. "No. I'm giving him a clothespin colored with markers for Christmas."
"I see." TJ smiled. She always smiled when she talked with Dorie. Of course she tried to hide it. After all, Dorie was a younger sister, and younger sisters are supposed to irritate older sisters. (It's like a law or something.) So TJ just tousled Dorie's hair and said, "Let's head to my room to see if I have any."
"Yippee!" Dorie said as she skipped into the hallway.
But even as they headed toward her room, TJ's mind raced back to Dad. She had to get him something. Granted, she had no money, but somehow the gift had to be bigger and better than Violet ever dreamed.
Unfortunately, some dreams turn into nightmares— especially with help from the 23rd century.

The ε-amino lysine acetylation of proteins is an important reversible modification controlling protein activity. The amino-terminal tails of core histones undergo lysine methylation in multiple sites, termed as "histone code" or "epigenetic code". Lysine methylation in core histones is a major determinant for the formation of active and inactive regions of the genome and therefore plays vital roles in multiple cellular events. In most species, lysine methylation occurs primarily on histones H3 (Lys4, 9, 27, 36, 79) and H4 (Lys20) and has been implicated in both transcriptional activation and silencing. Methylation in histones modulated by specific histone methylases (HMTs) and histone demethylases (HDMs) is impaired in the pathologies of cancer and other diseases and therefore, enzymes regulating histone lysine methylatio have become promising targets for anti-cancer drugs.

Technical Paper
A Novel Closed Loop Control based on Ionization Current in Combustion Cycle at Cold Start in a GDI Engine
As the invalidation of the oxygen sensor in the initial cycles at cold start, the engine can not operate based on the closed loop control based on oxygen sensor. And it may result in the misfire events and higher hydrocarbon (HC) emissions during this period. To solve this problem, a novel closed loop control based on ionization current in combustion cycle is proposed. The in-cylinder combustion quality is monitored by means of the ion current detection technique; meanwhile, if the misfire event is detected in the combustion cycle, the spark re-ignition is made in the current combustion cycle. In addition, to optimize the combustion and reduce HC emissions during cold start, the fuel injection quantity and ignition timing in the next cycle are adjusted based on the current ion current signal.

That moment was more than a century in the making, and in this breakthrough book, Kasparov reveals his astonishing side of the story for the first time. He describes how it felt to strategize against an implacable, untiring opponent with the whole world watching, and recounts the history of machine intelligence through the microcosm of chess, considered by generations of scientific pioneers to be a key to unlocking the secrets of human and machine cognition. Kasparov uses his unrivaled experience to look into the future of intelligent machines and sees it bright with possibility. As many critics decry artificial intelligence as a menace, particularly to human jobs, Kasparov shows how humanity can rise to new heights with the help of our most extraordinary creations, rather than fear them. Deep Thinking is a tightly argued case for technological progress, from the man who stood at its precipice with his own career at stake.
"The great Garry Kasparov takes on the key economic issue of our time: how we can thrive as humans in a world of thinking machines. This important and optimistic book explains what we as humans are uniquely qualified to do. Instead or wringing our hands about robots, we should all read this book and embrace the future."—
Walter Isaacson, bestselling author of The Innovators
"Garry Kasparov's perspectives on artificial intelligence are borne of personal experience - and despite that, are optimistic, wise and compelling. It's one thing for the giants of Silicon Valley to tell us our future is bright; it is another thing to hear it from the man who squared off with the world's most powerful computer, with the whole world watching, and his very identity at stake."—
Charles Duhigg, bestselling author of Smarter Faster Better
"From the man at the epi-center of one the ten defining moments of the 20th century, a fascinating and insightful overview of how computers came to surpass humans at chess, and what it means for mankind. Deeply research and clearly exposited, it is also a revealing portrait of what it is like to a real-life John Henry pitted against the steam hammer."—Ken Rogoff, bestselling author of This Time is Different
"A highly human exploration of artificial intelligence, its exciting possibilities and inherent limits."
—Max Levchin, cofounder of PayPal, CEO of Affirm, and Silicon Valley angel investor
"Intelligent, absorbing...Thoughtful reading for anyone interested in human and machine cognition and a must for chess fans."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"As Kasparov recounts in arresting detail what it felt like to compete cognitively with a machine, he extrapolates his experience into an optimistic perspective on how computerized intelligence can enhance rather than overwhelm human brainpower, and instead of only eliminating jobs and opportunities, can actually generate them."
"Kasparov includes enough detail to satisfy chess enthusiasts, while providing a thrilling narrative for the casual reader. Deep Thinking delivers a rare balance of analysis and narrative, weaving commentary about technological progress with an inside look at one of the most important chess matches ever played."—Demis Hassabis, Nature
"The raw emotion of [the loss to Deep Blue] bursts out of the pages of Kasparov's gripping story, which he fully recounts for the first time in Deep Thinking... What is striking, and reassuring, is that far from raging against the machine, Kasparov marvels at the capabilities of computers and is excited by the possibilities for future collaboration...reads at times like a fast-paced psychological thriller."—John Thornhill, Financial Times
"Deep Thinking is like Kasparov himself: fascinating, razor-sharp, and provocative. In it he finally tells us, twenty years later, what he's learned from participating in the most famous human vs. machine competition since John Henry. The answer is a huge amount, which is also what you'll learn from reading Deep Thinking."—Andrew McAfee, principal research scientist at MIT and coauthor of The Second Machine Age
"Garry Kasparov has been a true pioneer in both the theory and practice of human-machine intelligence. Deep Thinking encompasses his wisdom in these areas in a highly entertaining and informative manner. I couldn't put it down, and don't think you will be able to either."—Tyler Cowen, author of The Great Stagnation
"Few people have a more interesting or illuminating perspective than Garry Kasparov. Deep Thinking is a provocative and fascinating read that will challenge the conventional wisdom about our future."—Bill McDermott, CEO of SAP

Is there a place where some new features could be suggested?
I would love to have these two features for raspistill command:
Crop parameter: given area (x/y) would be cropped, like digital zoom to specified area
example (like convert command from imagemagick)
raspistill --crop WIDTHxHEIGHT+OFFSETX+OFFSETY
Exec command after every save: given parameter (command) would be executed after every saved image: useful with timelapse mode. Image after the take could be manipulated or uploaded etc.
example raspistill -t 5000 --timelapse 99999999 --exec '/path/to/program.sh'
then after saving every image it would be executed with parameter image filename /path/to/program.sh /path/to/saved/image.jpg

< Features
Feature Name: Systemtap 2.0
A major new version of systemtap.
- Name: Frank Ch. Eigler
- Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 18
- Last updated: 2012-07-24
- Percentage of completion: 90%
Detailed Description
For this next major release of systemtap, the team is hoping to deliver an optional new backend that allows unprivileged users to instrument their programs, without any kernel module building or root privileges.
Benefit to Fedora
Reduction of security attack surface, by less reliance on setuid / kernel facilities. Increased process introspection capability. Higher performance process introspection.
Impact is limited to this package.
How To Test
The packaged testsuite should cover the general capabilities of the tool, to avoid regressions.
User Experience
User experience from prior versions should not change. Completely unprivileged users should become able to instrument their own programs without any kernel- or root-dependent machinations.
The [[1]] library needs to be packaged for Fedora (or perhaps bundled into systemtap).
Contingency Plan
If the pure-userspace work is not completed in time, the then-newest upstream systemtap can be issued for Fedora 18.

Bright Leaves (2003) - Details
North Carolina produces more tobacco than any other state in America. Bright Leaves describes a journey taken across the social, economic, and psychological tobacco terrain of North Carolina by a native Carolinian, Ross McElwee, whose great-grandfather created the famous brand of tobacco known as Bull Durham. The comedic chronicle is a subjective, autobiographical meditation on the allure of cigarettes and their troubling legacy for the state of North Carolina. It's also a film about family history, addiction, denial, and filmmaking--as McElwee, noted director of Sherman's March, grapples with the legacy of an obscure Hollywood melodrama that is purportedly based on this curious man that was his great-grandfather.

Nokia stock sinks as new Lumias disappointSeptember 5, 2012: 2:43 PM ET
Nokia's stock plunged after the introduction of the company's two new smartphones, which run on the latest Windows 8 operating system, failed to woo investors.
The unveiling of Nokia's Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 smartphones lacked "positive surprises, carrier announcements or specific launch dates," noted Jennifer Fritzsche, senior analyst at Wells Fargo, calling the company's event Wednesday a "disappointment."
Ahead of the announcement, Fritzsche was expecting that Nokia (NOK) would announce AT&T (T) as its exclusive launch partner for the Lumia 920 model, and Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile (DT) and AT&T as partners for the 820 model. While Nokia said it expects to start selling its new phones later this year, it didn't provide any additional details or make any unexpected product announcements.
Related: Can the Lumia smartphone save Nokia?
Nokia has take a big chance by partnering with Microsoft (MSFT) to run the Windows platform on its smartphones. Devices that run on Windows account for just 3.5% of the global smartphone market, according to research firm IDC, compared with Google's (GOOG) Android, which accounts for a whopping 68% share, and Apple's 17% share.
Plus, Nokia is just one company that is making phones that will operate with Windows 8. Samsung and HTC are also expected to launch new phones with the Microsoft's latest operating system.
Shares of the Finnish company slid more than 10% in afternoon trading.
Nokia's announcement comes just a week ahead of Apple's (APPL) big event on Sept. 12, at which it is widely expected to introduce the iPhone 5.>

A great introductory walk to the Wild Dog Mountains region, with a little of bit everything - Ridges, Steep Downhills, Firetrail, Bouldery Creek Walking, River Crossings and Chest High Nettle. Even though the distance is short, this is a bit of a tough walk as the walking is a bit slow due to the nature of the steep and bouldery terrain. The beach campsite on the Cox's is just fabulous with an abundance of firewood and the walk up towards the Jenolan or Harry's River is just great fun which led to all sorts of antics such as Freezing River Crossings, Horizontal Tree Walking and of course, Rock Skimming. What more could you ask for?
All up it is 13 clicks - if you're fit and fast you'd be able to do it as a day walk in around 5-6 hours. If you're taking novices allow two full days.
I can't quite remember how this all got started, I think I suggested to Anton that he might be able to organise his own DoE walk and soon enough Jason asked Anton if I could organise a Six Foot Track walk. After I had a look at the Six Foot Track walk, I decided that it looked pretty boring as the bulk of it is along firetrail which I generally dislike. It's OK in small doses, but I much prefer less travelled routes in wilderness areas.

Minnesota Viking Christian Ponder called a quarterback sneak Monday and slipped into Hudson, Wis., and married ESPN reporter Samantha Steele.
Ponder, 24, and Steele, 27, were wed in St. Croix County Court by Court Commissioner Stephen Dunlap, the court confirmed Wednesday. Ponder listed an Excelsior address on the license, while Steele's was listed as being in Arizona.
Speaking Wednesday to the news media at the team's Eden Prairie headquarters, Ponder said "it was important to get it done before the holidays for a lot of personal reasons."
He added that his wedding was "obviously . . . a big deal, but it wasn't a distraction" as he tries to lead the Vikings into the playoffs.
The second-year quarterback said that he and Steele chose the Wisconsin court "to limit the attention on us" and they will have a bigger ceremony in the off-season. Honeymoon plans are also pending.
It was "just us," with people at the courthouse serving as witnesses, he said.
"I know, probably, the state of Minnesota isn't happy about" him venturing into enemy territory for such a significant event, said Ponder, who went before the cameras without a wedding band. "But you know, whatever."
Steele tweeted Wednesday morning: "Twitter is so tricky. Who knew that 'she's pregnant' & 'they'll be divorced soon' are just the 2012 version of 'congrats'! Thx guys! :)"
Head coach Leslie Frazier said of Ponder's nuptials: "I'm sure he put a lot of thought into it and talked with the right people."
Ponder let news of the couple's engagement slip out last month, with the progression from girlfriend to fiancee to spouse coming rather quickly.
His engagement during the season has been the target of criticism among some fans and even national sports commentators, saying the quarterback should be focusing all of his attention on his erratic on-the-field performances that have bedeviled him for much of his sophomore season in the NFL.
Fox Sports analyst and former Super Bowl champion coach Jimmy Johnson said on the air this month that "maybe his wife can teach him how to throw."

'Born Global Champions' award for Austrian start-ups
A total of 55 new Austrian companies were declared 'Born Global Champions' by the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber (WKÖ) at an award ceremony held on 21 June 2016. The awards recognised young firms (founded in 2010 or later) that from the very outset have established a global presence, provided innovative products and services, and achieved rapid international growth.
The awards were presented by the President of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber, Christoph Leitl, and State Secretary Harald Mahrer. What their recepients all had in common was of course the courage to see the whole world as a potential market – a characteristic that has already brought them considerable success.
You'll find more information on this year's 'Born Global Champions' in the special English language edition of our FRESH VIEW magazine, which you can download below:

Sorry, it's not stucco
I'm writing in regard to the article regarding the Monticello Foundation's purchase of Brown's Mountain/Montalto [Cover story, "Mountain Views, How Monticello got Montalto back," February 5]. While I thoroughly enjoyed the article, I feel the need to correct a couple of the facts therein.
I lived on the mountain for a short time as a child. Shortly after the Browns sold the property to the trust represented by John Haskell, my father was hired as the property manager and we moved into the main house. Around the same time, my father started a business in town and, after a year, he felt the need to leave the mountain in order to focus on his growing business.
My father provided Haskell with able successors, my recently retired grandparents, who took up residence in the main house after my parents, sister, and I moved to a new house in town. My grandfather was the "new owner's representative" whose company then-law student George Allen enjoyed and who found Allen a place to hunt deer. It was a disagreement with Haskell over this hunting that led my grandfather to end his tenure on the mountain.
The main house, referred to in the article as a "stucco" bungalow is actually a large stone residence designed in the early part of the last century by a Philadelphia architect.
Living there as a boy of five provided me with many vivid memories. Although the buildings on the mountain do not follow the architectural styles preferred by Mr. Jefferson, they do hold a degree of significance for those of us who have had the opportunity to live there. I hope at least the main house will be left standing.
Thanks for the opportunity to share these thoughts/recollections. I enjoy reading The Hook as often as I can.

Mea culpa: the only stucco on that house appears to be the columns.–editor

Covid 19 Testing in Caerphilly
COVID -19 Testing Services
Medic 1 are now offering services to a variety of settings such as healthcare, businesses, sports teams and individuals. COVID 19 is of course new to the world. We are all learning how to prevent, detect and treat the Coronavirus. During the pandemic Medic 1 crews have worked on the frontline, and with elite athletes and Doctors. We continue to do so.
About the COVID test
How do we do the test?
On arrival at one of our test centres or at the venue that we are facilitating the test, a COVID technician will meet you wearing PPE to protect you both. You will have your temperature taken, via a contactless scanning device. Next you will be asked questions about any symptoms you may currently have and your contact details. For the test you will be asked to sit down and a swab of first your throat, then both nostrils will be taken. The swab looks like a long cotton bud. The test is not painful, but some people feel that the throat swab makes them gag a little. It is over and done with very quickly. We then send the swabs for testing to our specialist laboratories. As soon as the results are ready you will be able to view them on line or via an email.
How much does the test cost?
Alternatively you can contact us at email@example.com or fill in the contact form.

ASSEMBLY—Aaron Brehm of Fayette (left) and Rick Harris of Defiance assemble the new fluorescent light fixtures that were placed in Fayette's two gymnasiums and in the ag shop area. The men work for Gem, Inc., of Walbridge.
A rebate project through First Energy resulted in new light fixtures for the Fayette school.
Ohio utilities face an order to reduce electrical consumption by existing customers, explained Fayette school superintendent Russ Griggs, and one of the approaches is an offer to switch to more efficient light fixtures.
Although Fayette's school is rather new, advances in energy efficiency will result from the new bulbs and fixtures.
Classroom lighting will remain the same due to the type of units in place because the ballast configuration will not work with the high efficiency bulbs. However, there are now plenty of spare bulbs available for classrooms after the hallway and storage area lighting was replaced.
The large metal halite gymnasium light fixtures were replaced with banks of high-efficiency fluorescent lighting. The new lights become bright immediately and don't require the "warming up" period of metal halite bulbs.

I'm often asked what EHR integrations of Direct are supposed to look like. In the simplest sense, I liken it to a Share button and suggest that such a button—typically labeled "Transmit"—be placed in context near the CCDA that's the target of the transmit action, or in a workflow-friendly spot on a patient record screen.
The receive side is similarly intuitive: the practice classifies how their incoming records are managed today and we map that process to one or more Direct addresses. If we get stuck, I ask, "What is the workflow for faxes today–how many fax numbers are there, and how are they allocated?" This usually helps clear things up: as a starting point, a Direct address can be assigned to replace each fax endpoint.
The address structure raises an important question, because it is tightly tied to the Direct messaging user interface. Should there be a Direct address for every EHR user? Provider? Department? Organization? A separate address for the patient portal? A patient portal that spans multiple provider organizations? One for every patient?
The rules around counting Direct messages for Transitions of Care (ToC) attestation do not require each provider to have their own Direct address, as long as the EHR can count transactions correctly for attestation. As far as meaningful use is concerned, any reasonable address assignment method should be acceptable in ToC use cases (check the rules themselves, for full details). Here are some examples.
email@example.com is clearly an address that could be shared by multiple users, though it could be used by just one person, and might be used for both transitions of care and patient portal transmit.
firstname.lastname@example.com could also be dual-purpose. Jane might be the only authorized user of this address, or this address may be managed by a group of people at her practice that does not necessarily even include Jane. Alternatively, this address could be used for Jane's ToC transactions, while a email@example.com address could be used for patient portal transmit.
So, any of the options proposed above are possible conventions for assigning Direct addresses. Also, a patient does not need their own Direct address to Transmit from as part of the View, Download, Transmit measure (170.314(e)(1)), but might have their own address to transmit to. Note that adding a little extra data can elevate a View, Download, Transmit implementation to BlueButton+ status.
It makes sense for patients and providers to have their own Direct addresses if they are using Direct for Secure Messaging – 170.314(e)(3) – for which Direct is an optional solution. Or, if patients have their own Personal Health Record (PHR) and Direct address, Direct is a great way to deliver data to the PHR. Incidentally, there are free services such as Microsoft HealthVault and many others that issue patient Direct addresses.
Direct addresses are nearly indistinguishable from regular email addresses, but a word of caution: Direct is incompatible with regular email, and has additional requirements beyond traditional S/MIME. Although it's not a requirement, you'll often find the word "direct" somewhere in the domain part of a Direct address, to help distinguish a regular email address from a Direct address.
Now that you know what Direct is, and what Direct Messaging and Direct addresses look like, I'm sure you'll start noticing Direct popping up in more and more places. So, be a not-so-early adopter and go get yourself a Direct address!

The four drawings shown here were made by Philip Webb (1831-1915), the Arts & Crafts architect and designer, as studies for a tapestry entitled The Forest which was woven by Morris & Co in 1887.
The finished tapestry is in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. The National Trust is now trying, with the V&A's blessing, to raise the funds to purchase these drawings for the Arts & Crafts collection at Wightwick Manor.
Philip Webb was one of the leading architects and designers of the 19th century. He worked in fruitful collaboration with his friend and business partner William Morris (1834-1896).
Webb designed Morris's first house, Red House in Bexleyheath. He also designed wallpaper, stained glass, textiles and furniture for Morris's decorating company, Morris, Marshall & Faulkner, later Morris & Co.
In 1896 the four animal drawings were acquired by Laurence W. Hodson (1864-1933), a Wolverhampton industrialist and philanthropist who lived at Compton Hall, one mile from Wightwick Manor. Wightwick was donated to the National Trust by Sir Geoffrey Mander (1882-1962) and his second wife Rosalie Glynn Grylls, Lady Mander (1905-1988), in 1937. Ever since the Mander family and the National Trust have worked together to develop the collection of Arts & Crafts and Pre-Raphaelite art and design in the house.
We are trying to raise about £192,000 to acquire this set of four drawings. Any donations made through our Just Giving page, whether large or small, will be hugely appreciated.

The Nokia E series have always been about phones sporting a full-row QWERTY keyboard in a candy-bar form factor.
While the Nokia E71 and the E63 were runaway success, the Nokia E72 was a mediocre hit. Now, pictures of the next E series handset has leaked on the Internet the E6-00. One guy over at Nokiotecha Forums managed to get his hands on the E6-00, and took it for a test drive.
The Nokia E6-00 sports a 2.6-inch touch-screen display with VGA (640×480) resolution. The back of the handset sports an 8MP EDoF camera with dual-LED flash, while there is front-facing VGA camera in the front. The camera at the back is capable of shooting 720p HD videos as well.
The handset seems to be running a modified version of Symbian^3 OS, which will be adapted for the 4:3 aspect ratio.
Below is a video of the E6-00 in action :
More pictures and video of the handset in action, along with some camera samples can be found here.

Getting swept is never fun, so there's not much that can be said after a weekend like that. Let's just hope the team got it out this weekend and will turn it back on this week against the Reds and Red Sox…
On a more gracious note, thanks to everyone who contributed to ThinkCure Weekend…more than $300,000 was raised for cancer research and the online auction is still going through tomorrow.
Among the things that tend to happen on a daily basis if you purchase the Insider Clubhouse Tour are interactions with numerous current and/or future Hall of Famers, access in areas of the stadium where even the most fortunate fans never get to go and a chance to watch the game from the press box.
I believe last year, the person who purchased this item wound up meeting Vin Scully, Jaime Jarrin, Tommy Lasorda, Joe Torre, Ned Colletti, Fernando Valenzuela, Charley Steiner, Rick Monday and several players, among others. Trust me…we make it worth your while because it's such a great cause so bid now before someone else gets this lifelong memory (have I talked it up enough).
Tomorrow's an off day and likely no post, but we'll be back to posting almost daily starting on Tuesday. Hang in there, Dodger fans. It's been a tough weekend, but the Dodgers still have the third-best record in the NL and there are still several guys waiting to hit their strides.

Tough weekend is putting it mildly! I hope with the day off, we can refresh and begin winning again.
Good Luck to all the Los Angelinos who have a rooting interest in the World Cup. !bueno suerte a todos!

Good evening everyone………….
I missed todays game due to work…..Did, I just read that Dre took out the bat rack??
That's a start…..or as Mattingly put it " I like that. "
Cincinatti should be a welcomed site for the bats, and I am sure the Happy Flight Night is somewhat intense…..
Time to get it together………….
Hey people, its like I've beem saying, this team wasn't built to win, it was built to compete. Frank's content with always contending to win the west. It keeps butts in the seats and coin in his pocket without having to acquire the personnel necessary to win, namely a staff ace, a left fielder who gave a crap, and a 2Bman that actually could hit and play like a 2Bman.
And lest you think Manny's $20 mil and Kuroda's $15 mil comming off the books next season will allow Frank to get better personnel, think again. He won't even give arbitration to players he knows won't accept in order to get two draft picks because he doesn't want to pay for high caliber prospects. He won't sign this Lee kid either. He'll scatter a little of it on arbitration, less than $10 mil on a half dozen PVLs, and pocket the rest. The man would rather give money to a psychic than pay for a good player. What in anything Frank's done, especially recently, that says winner?
I think we need to forget about our pipe dream of winning and resign ourselves to being content in watching Dre and Kemp and Brox while we've got them because as long as Frank owns this team, that's ALL were ever going to have. You know, its like being a Cubs fan.
You'd think McCourt would now leave out of sheer embarrassment:
Please go. Please?
Dodger4life – he sure did!!! I was listening to the post game show with Josh and Ken on my way home and sure enough that is what happened. They figured as long as he doesn't hurt himself in the process it is better to see a reaction like that (It means he really cares) then one in which he seems not to care. They used Andruw Jones as an example of a player who never seemed to care how he did.
Dodgereric – He should be embarrassed to put any member of the Dodger staff through any form of questioning on this topic. So,this Vlad guy must be an Angels fan because he sure as hell didn't give any positive vibes to our team this weekend.
Allright I'll say it…Matt Kemp should have never said this….or agreed to the promotion…..(…………………..)
Just Play Baseball!!!!!
Last season It was Randy Wolf…and The O-Dog whom were looking for work…..They were hungry…..The team was coming off a brand new horizon…..The Promised Land…..albeit…nothing is truley promised. The potential horizon was in grasp!!
This year to present date and ITFST time, included….The Intensity Levels and Commitments are lacking and it shows.
Our Fearless leader Frank is Loony Tunes…….
You Have to Earn Your Keep Son!!!
It sure was a tough weekend. I had to put up with a few obnoxious Angel fans for all three games. I hate to lose to them and not be able to even salvage one game.
The only good thing is we got a lot of fans to sign up for the Saturday June 19 Blood drive. I hope our Dodger Booster Club beats the Angel Booster club this year in the annual Blood drive competition.
We completely booked the Glendale, Pomona and Long Beach locations. We only had open room for Pasadena, Fullerton and Laguna Hills.
Thank you all that stopped by and signed up this week!
The two Dodger tickets you will be getting is for July 10th Photo Day plus the featured t-shirt, plus voucher for Wahoo fish tacos, plus voucher to the Laugh Factory.
OMG! I'm just reading about the freaken person FRANK hired. I can not believe that he brought some sorcerer over when he should of brought additional coaches that have played or know about the game. Someone who will benefit the team. Superstition only makes it worst! SSSshhhh!
I attended the game on Friday and I think the Dodger's forgot to attend. It felt like they weren't there, NO FOCUS. Billz was never there, that's for sure. Maybe too many distractions: Sorcerers, Soccer Fever, Lakers fever, celebrities, tiny targets on the outfield, breaking records that does not involve BASEBALL, toooo many beach balls….I don't know. But they would walk around with their head down.
ANDRE ETHIER needs to humble up again and not worry about Mr. Clutch, Mr. I-GOT-THIS, HERO action figures, and stats. He needs to concentrate!
OH YEAH…maybe it is just me. But I really hate it when FANS start cheering for the LAKERS during a baseball game. Don't mind a one time thing but hey NOT the WHOLE GAME. I just feel that our boys get distracted when they hear cheers for LAKERS and not them, or when they are hearing 'BOSTON SUCKS!', when we are playing the Angels. Fans were arguing over the freaken basketball game. Some guy had the balls to wear his Celtics shirt in a L.A. game. Ay-YA-yaaaaeeee!
MESSAGEBEAR maybe that's is why the team didn't care over the weekend.

Matt Kemp's numbers, extrapolated for an entire 162-game season, from the start of the 2010 season thru April 28th:
54.5 HRs, 154.8 RBIs, .292/.350/.584/.934
April 28th: the Colletti Rip
From April 29th to the present, again extrapolated for an entire 162-game season:
15.9 HRs, 50.6 RBIs, .250/.315/.409/.723
Just an aside, he started the season at the absolutely insane pace of 81.5 HR, 231.9 RBI, .333/.400/.750/1.150 pace for the first 14 games, then went into a .200 funk for 6 games before Colletti opened his fat yap.
Sell the team, you worthless piece of slime. And take that ex-Giant slug with you. And the ex-Yankees. Both of them.
Good Morning ITD readers and writers!!! I see we are our bright and cheery selvs this morning. The one positive today is the Dodgers can't lose since they are not playing.
I understand history and all, but why on Earth do we get the pleasure of playing the Yankees and the Giants get the real pleasure of playing the Orioles? If we are going to do the interleague thing, then it should be across the board the NL West plays the AL East. Yesterday on the radio Josh and Ken were saying if we want to say we are one of the best, we have to be able to beat the best, and I agree with that. However, it should come with some balance to the rest of the teams in our division who seem to be having an easier interleague schedule than us. It's going to be a tough two weeks Dodger fans. So, let's hope we can at least maintain our position in our division before the end of the month when we meat the gnats again at AT&T Park.
Interesting….was just offered an opportnity (as I suppose many of you were too) to register to purchase tickets for the Yankees games. Guess they didn't sell out. What about those poor suckers who purchased the mini-plans? How do they feel now?
I can't wait for Frank to SELL THE TEAM!!!!!
Just crazy numbers iwannabelikebear!!
Of all the crap that we, as fans, put through certain players at times (and there have been many), Matt got very little of that crap because of his "development status", but Ned certainly has seemed to squash his spirit in just those few comments he made late in April. Even the Superhero comment isn't something you would normally hear Matt say or even think. Maybe this "superhero" status is just a tad too much for Matt and Andre to handle right now. They are being sold to us, the fans, as the sole reason to watch this team, and those of us on ITD have known all along it's pitching and defense, mixed in with "timely" offense that gets you a championship. We don't have the pitching to get us to the next level and to expect Matt and Andre (and James) to carry a team every single time the pitching doesn't have it is too much to ask of two players on a team of 25 IMO of course.
Wannabe – Thanks for looking up those stats. Exactly my point the other day. I put the blame on Matt's slump on Ned. Matt hadn't fielded his position well or run the bases well. But to slam him when his bat was making up for it was a joke. As some mentioned before Ned never said anything about any other players from the past when they weren't doing well. So why did he do it with Kemp. I think to take the focus from the lame pitching the he (Ned) was responsible for.
Matt is pressing so hard to make Ned eat his words.
He needs to go to bat and think about going to the bathroom.
When I slump or have teammates that are slumping that's what it comes down to. You have to stop thinking at some point and just let it happen. Sometimes you over think and analyse and it just gets you all confused. So he just needs to think about going to the bathroom!
It terms of the energy guy I'm with Torre … I don't want to talk about it.
I'm glad Dre took out the bat rack. I wish some of the other guys would show some of that passion.
On the Dodgers homepage there is a great article about Bills & his dad which is touching and makes one think about what is important. As someone who basically grew up without a dad it was something that reminded me how important a dad is if you are one.
Messagebear – thanks!!! I am not sure how much of Andre's slumping is his finger or just Andre slumping. He seems to do this slumping thing every year about June, and then he comes out of it gang busters through the end of the season. I guess it is a wait and see process with him. From what I watched this weekend, he seems to be swinging at pitches that he would normally not swing at. So, that leads me to believe he is pressing a bit too much. However, when he gets a hold of the ball, it's a rocket, but it just seems to be right at someone lately. I can certainly see his frustration over that than a strikeout. A stikeout he knows he did something wrong…………judgement or otherwise, but a perfectly hit ball that just happens to land into the hands of a well done defensive play or just inches foul from a home run has got to be infuriating. I am sure the bat rack can tell you how mad he was – lol!!!
I'll bet when Andre knocked out the bat rack, Joe didn't even move 🙂
ETHIER will bounce back. Alot has to do with his matuarity and all the mental emotion a young player goes through. Ethier is a great player and when he is HOT he is burning HOT! He went through a speed bump (his lil' pinky) and now he has to mentally & emotionally figure out how to get out of that slump. He puts too much pressure on himself since he knows that the fans/the team & coaches want the HERO, MR. CLUTCH, WALK-OFF DRE to play. But this is were he has to concentrate and just figure out how to deal with it all. GOOD LUCK DRE'! Same for KEMP!
In terms of Dre I felt at the time they should of held him back an extra week or two. He is a competetor and and as being one myself you tend to push and with an injury to yourself you tend to push back to soon. Then you get into bad habits with your swing. I agree with Nelly that he is also pressing. One K he had he was swinging at a pitch around his shoulders and in some other swings he had he was so off balance he was stumpling across home plate. I hadn't seen that from him all year.
Great points Collie and Rose!!!
I love Andre's fight and passion for this game. I am sure he wants to be an All-Star for the right reasons…………..not because Dodger fans stuffed a ballot box.
Tru………….the article said Torre heard it behind him but not much else. Afterwards, listening to the interview with Torre on the post game show, he made a reference to Paul O'Neill again like he always does.
Ethier career splits:
March/April .301
May .299
June .266
July .322
August .305
Sept/Oct .273
ETHIER YOU CAN DO IT! I'll be praying for him!
iwannabelikebear – maybe Andre suffers from the June gloom 🙂
Well, it looks like Andre has figured out left hand pitching. Now, maybe he needs to figure out how to make June a more productive month for him. However, we are only halfway through June so there is still time to figure it out and end up just fine by the end of the month.
I know most of the focus for the Red Sox series is going to be Manny and the fan reaction, but I am looking forward to seeing Andre and Dustin Pedroia in the same game. Andre and Dustin are both ASU Alumni, very good friends, off-season work out partners and neighbors in Arizona. Not all the drama that Manny brings to Boston, but it certainly will be a story for Ethieraholics to enjoy.
Maybe the line up needs to be re-shuffle…bat infront / behind Manny or something so that he can get his groove back.
NELLY should be an excited series!
Oops! REDPEN.."EXCITING" series…
I don't think he needs to be moved in the lineup yet. It's not like Manny and Matt are tearing it up right now either. Yea, Manny had "a" good game, but until he starts stringing them together, he isn't much of a threat yet. James perhaps but he seems to be comfy where he is at right now. Vin has been saying all along Andre has been hitting the ball hard. He just doesn't have anything to show for it. Well, that showing will get there soon enough. If he were the sole reason the team did poorly this past weekend, maybe, but like Ken and Josh said yesterday, Andre is the least of the Dodgers worries right now. The pitchers have some things to figure out in these next two weeks. We can't keep going down 4-0 in the first two innings each game. That is a problem in itself.
So we are 1/2 a game away from being #1 but freaken tied with the GIANTS….this race is getting GOOD! C'MON BOYS IN BLUE….FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!
Shpunt told me that today's lineup will be:
Paper bags anybody? You can either wear them or barf in them, either one is appropriate.
BTW, new thread…
I first have to comment about some of the things said in earlier posts about Matt Kemp. I find it interesting that many of you are blaming the dumb remarks by Ned for Kemp's problems. If Kemp were a "PVL" in the same situation, you would be all over him and the entire organization for signing the guy. We don't even know for sure how Kemp really reacted to those comments or how he really felt about them but it really doesn't matter. His woes cannot be attributed to anyone else but himself. If he is pressing, he is only confirming what Ned said. This is Matt's present and future and he has to take these comments for what they are worth. Ethier says he plays everyday as if he has to prove himself over and over again. Maybe Matt has to do the same thing. Swinging at pitches out of the strike zone will not get the job done.
Really, who besides Andre and Jamie Carroll are playing consistently? And even Andre's numbers have suffered since the injury but at least he has a reason. Everyone else needs to do what he can and play up to his ability. Scary thought that some of them might already be doing that.
The news about Bills is disheartening. No one is really waiting for Padilla to come to the rescue. Normally you hope someone steps up when called upon to fill a spot but it seems the Dodgers are running out of bodies.
I'm POSITIVE that our ownership sucks.
Billingsley goes to DL with groin injury
CINCINNATI — Los Angeles Dodgers manager Joe Torre said on Tuesday that right-hander Chad Billingsley will go on the 15-day disabled list with an injured groin.
Torre said Billingsley injured the groin in his last start Friday against the Los Angeles Angels. The decision to put him on the DL was made before Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds, after Billingsley attempted to throw in the bullpen.
Billinsgley was scheduled to start in Thursday's series finale.
The Dodgers' starting rotation already is in a state of flux with right-hander Vicente Padilla expected to come off the disabled list this weekend, although Padilla said through an interpreter that Torre gave no indication of whether that would happen when Padilla met with the manager and pitching coach Rick Honeycutt on Tuesday.
Rookie Carlos Monasterios was expected to return to the bullpen after starting on Sunday against the Angels, but Billingsley's situation could result in the right-hander staying in the starting rotation for now.
Tony Jackson covers the Dodgers for ESPNLosAngeles.com.
Things just keep getting worse. And, now I too, am positive THE OWNERSHIP SUCKS!!!!!! You would think he would have seen something like this coming and did absolutely nothing about it! PLEASE SELL THE TEAM, FRANK!!!!!

Ok, go slow and take this with a big pinch of salt, this may not be true at all, but no one has used the Kinect extensively, so this cannot be untrue too right now.
One of our posts made it to the N4G home page recently, and while browsing through the comments on the post (comment #4 by mricecreamman), I saw something interesting which says that there might be some problems with the Microsoft Kinect sensors right now.
Here is the comment text from the image above (emphasis added):
i work for microsoft here in out west and gotta say it's pretty fun, but it's not a wii killer. if too many people is around the sensor it becomes non responsive and sometimes it has latency. this is just a replica of when sony came out with the eyetoy..which it didn't do so well.
Now there are a few things here, the person in question says that the Kinect is pretty fun but not a Wii killer. I have to agree with that fact, because Wii is in a different league altogether. Wii is for fun gaming, exercising, dancing, playing Mario and more and not for playing Call of Duty, for which you will of course use the Xbox 360. Wii in itself has a cult status amongst its users for motion gaming.
Another important point this person brought up was the fact that if too many people crowd around the device sensor it become non responsive and has latency, so this means that the device is definitely not ready for house parties yet and is a bit buggy. Once again, this might be a non-issue when Kinect actually comes out on November 4. Another aspect of this claim is that neither has Microsoft demoed Kinect with a crowd and neither will be there games which will require lot of people to be near the sensor at once.
This issue might not be a big issue at all, however, it could be a problem when you have a crowd around or maybe use the Kinect to play Wii like games :).
Last but not the least, the person compared the device to EyeToy, a digital camera device which Sony came out with for the PS2 which used computer vision and gesture recognition to process images taken by the camera. Now, no Microsoft employee would like to compare their own device with, but like I said it could just be an anonymous person out there. With 100K plus employees you will always get one who does not like the product or place they work for.
Based on the comment by the person, it is fairly OK to say that even if this is true, I never had a doubt in my mind that Kinect would kill the Wii, it would take a real long time for them to do it. However, more importantly the sensor issue (if it exists) still has almost 4+ months to be fixed, so by November 4 you might not even see those issues. However, what if Microsoft can't fix it or not live up to the expectations they have build up?

What directory structure should we use?
Since we this time only use WiX as setup system, I think we don't need the name "WiX" in directory. What think you about "/installer/windows/..."?
What name use we for the program list and start menue?
WinMerge 2.x use "WinMerge". Since people maybe install the new version parallel to the old version, we should use a other name. But which?
- WinMerge 3
- WinMerge 3.x
- WinMerge <CompleteVersion>
- WinMerge III
- WinMerge QT
- ...
Which runtime files must we install?
Has somebody experience with installer for QT projects?

Ben Kingsley's the Mandarin is apparently the villain in the upcoming, highly anticipated Iron Man 3. And here's Iron Man wearing a mandarin style jacket while promoting the film in Beijing this weekend at the Ancestral Imperial Temple. It's apparently the first time a Hollywood movie has been promoted there. And the first time a westerner has been allowed to celebrate his birthday on the throne. These are some amazing pictures, non?
It was announced last week that China's getting a special edition of Iron Man 3 with bonus footage featuring Chinese actors, tailored specifically for the Chinese audience, presumably because China kicked in some cash money for the production, which, of course, is why they're making such a big ass deal of it over there. China is now the "second largest consumer of films in the world, behind only the United States. But while America's Box Office totals have increased by 12% over the last five years, China's Box Office totals have increased by a whopping than 400%". (Source)
This is why I asked Sarah from Cinesnark on Twitter last week if Pepper Potts will end up being Chinese. Hollywood is obviously kissing a LOT of Chinese ass. Especially when that ass is holding on to so many loans. What human rights violations!?!
PS. You see that dude there with RDJ in the cape? His name is Huang Xiao Ming. They call him China's "Number One Heartthrob".

The recently-assembled super-committee tasked with saving the US from financial disaster by year's end wants to trade dollar bills for dollar...coins? Wait, don't we already have some of those that nobody uses?
This controversial plan has been floated before but has met with a tepid response from most Americans and strong lobbying efforts from both paper and mining industries (and the states in which those industries reside). However, a recent study by the Government Accountability Office found that the coin's longer lifetime—4.2 years vs. 22 months for bills—would translate into a $5.6 billion savings over the course of 30 years.
But what about the billions of dollars worth of Sacajawea coins the Mint made? Or the ones created through the 2005 Presidential $1 Coin Act? They're still sitting in storage at the Mint because nobody uses them.
So why do Americans dislike the dollar coin? I can understand that both workers and supporters of the US Stripping Industry being against it for logistical reasons, but otherwise is it the shape, the heft, what?
