With apologies to composer Cole Porter, this is the song that Microsoft might be singing about its new SQL Server Reporting Services product. Slated for release by the end of 2003, Reporting Services handles the complete reporting life cycle—from a report's design, to its deployment in a managed-server environment, to delivery to the end user. The information we present here is based on the second beta release of the product; the final version might be somewhat different.
Microsoft originally intended to deliver Reporting Services as part of the upcoming Yukon release of SQL Server. However, users who received early descriptions and demonstrations of Reporting Services were extremely excited about what they saw and told Microsoft that they wanted these features as soon as possible. Microsoft listened, making Reporting Services an add-in to SQL Server 2000 as well as building the features into Yukon.
What is everyone so excited about? Without Reporting Services, the only way to deliver up-to-the-minute business information over the Internet or company intranet is to code dynamic Web pages or use a third-party reporting tool. But coding dynamic pages is time-consuming and usually requires an experienced developer, and third-party reporting solutions can be expensive.
Reporting Services will let users of varying skill levels create their own dynamic reports. Although you can add code to a report for more control over formatting and data, you don't need any programming experience to build sophisticated reports. You can make reports available over the Internet or an intranet in several formats, including PDF and TIFF, that look good both in a browser and in print. And Reporting Services provides the infrastructure that makes accessing these reports convenient and secure.
Rather than creating a new development environment for authoring Reporting Services reports, Microsoft used its existing integrated development environment (IDE), Visual Studio .NET. You can create reports through any edition of Visual Studio .NET 2003. You deploy completed reports from Visual Studio .NET to a Report Server, which manages security, data caching, and other reporting functions. The Report Server delivers reports to recipients in a variety of formats through either a pull (requested by the user) or a push (scheduled delivery) method.
The "glue" that links the report you design in Visual Studio .NET to the report the Report Server delivers is Microsoft's new Report Definition Language (RDL). This XML-based language contains all the information about the report design. You create a report as an RDL document in Visual Studio. Visual Studio then deploys the RDL to a Report Server, which stores it in a SQL Server database. When Reporting Services delivers a report to a user, it processes the RDL report definition and renders it into a more familiar format such as an HTML page or an Adobe PDF document.
Design: You're the Top
You design reports by selecting the Business Intelligence project type in Visual Studio .NET 2003. This project type, which installs during Reporting Services setup, offers two project templates: Report Project Wizard, a step-by-step walk-through of report creation, and Report Project, which takes you directly to the Report Designer. The Report Project lets you build your report from scratch, without any guidance. Both templates ultimately result in a report project. You'll likely want to use the Report Wizard for most reports, especially your first few, letting it create the initial report layout and database connectivity. You can then customize the report by editing it in the designer. You'll use the Report Project more often as you become more familiar with the report structure and begin to build more complex reports.
No matter which method you use to create your report, the first step in creating a report is defining a data source. The data source is the connection string that the report will use to communicate with SQL Server, Analysis Services, or another OLE DB data source. You can define a data source in each report, or you can define it within the report project and let multiple reports within that project use it. In addition, a report can contain multiple data sources if it needs to pull information from more than one location. When you're using the wizard, you define the data source on the Select the Data Source page. You can type in the connection string to reference your data source, or you can create a reference to your data source by clicking Edit and using the Data Link Properties dialog box that appears.
If you want to let reports run unattended, make sure you include the password in the data source. If you're using the Data Link Properties dialog box, select the Allow Saving Password check box to encrypt the password in a User Options file that Visual Studio creates locally. Reporting Services also encrypts the password when you deploy the report to the Report Server. Alternatively, you can use Windows credentials and Integrated Security to access the data source. This approach works fine when a user is logged in to the Report Server and retrieving a report interactively. It doesn't work when the Report Server produces a scheduled report because scheduled reports have no interactive user to provide Windows credentials.
You create and edit reports in Visual Studio .NET through the Report Designer. This authoring environment contains three areas. The Data area lets you construct and edit the queries that will retrieve data for your report. You construct your report in the Layout area, which Figure 1 shows, by dragging controls from the Toolbox and fields from the Fields window and dropping them onto the report design. The Preview area shows how the report will look when the user retrieves it.
In the Data area, you query data from the data sources to create one or more data sets within the report. Reporting Services executes the query that you define for the data set against the data source. The rows and columns that result from this query become the data set. You build the query by using a query-builder interface specific to the data-source type or by typing in the query directly.
In many cases, you'll want to let the user specify parameter values for the data-set query to control which rows to return. For example, you might want the user to specify the date range for the information that will appear on a report. If your data source is SQL Server, you give the user this ability by including the parameters in the WHERE clause, using an at (@) sign followed by the parameter name. The code in Listing 1 queries sales information from the Pubs database and includes three parameters: @StartDate, @EndDate, and @StoreID. (Other types of data sources might use different parameter syntax.) Including these query parameters in a T-SQL query string causes the Report Designer to create three corresponding report parameters, which appear as input fields in the report. Figure 2 shows the Report Parameters dialog box, which you access by choosing Report Parameters on the Report menu. To let the user select a value from a drop-down list, we enhanced the StoreID report parameter by creating a second data set called StoreNames in the report. We selected stor_name in the Label field and stor_id in the Value field. This data set queries the store name and store ID from each store record, then populates the drop-down list in the center of Figure 3. This configuration presents the store names to the user in a drop-down list and uses the corresponding store ID as the @StoreID parameter.
When Reporting Services serves the report, a Content Manager or Publisher can specify constants for the parameter values if a report on a given Report Server always runs against a predetermined subset of data. For instance, you might always run a particular report on one Report Server for the Eastern Region and the same report on another Report Server for the Western Region. If you haven't specified any such parameters, the user can specify the parameter values in the URL that requests the report. Alternatively, a parent report can pass parameter values to a subreport. If you don't specify the parameters through any of these methods, Reporting Services will prompt the user for them, as the center portion of Figure 3 shows.
De-Lovely: After You, Who?
After defining the data sets, you're ready to create the visual aspect of your report in the Layout area of the Report Designer. Report controls, the building blocks for the report design, appear in the Toolbox, which Figure 4 shows. As you examine the Toolbox controls, be aware that you can bind only four of the controls directly to a data set. These four controls, called data regions, are the Table, Matrix, List, and Chart controls. Most data regions also contain other controls that form the content of the report, as we show in a moment.
The Table control produces a familiar column-and-row report with optional grouping and subtotaling. The Matrix control produces a crosstab or pivot table report, in which both the rows and the columns are tied to values in the data set and the intersecting cells contain computed values. The List control produces repeating blocks of free-form data. The Chart control also interacts directly with a data set, but it can't contain other report objects. In most cases, one of these four data regions will serve as the foundation for each report you create. But by nesting data regions inside each other, you can create more complex report formats, binding each nested data region to a different data set.
While the data regions define the report's structure, the remaining controls in the Toolbox—Textbox, Line, Rectangle, Image, Subreport, and potentially ActiveX—form the visual elements of the report. The Line control is self-explanatory, but the other controls have some details worth mentioning.
The Textbox control is the only way to display textual information in a report. Textboxes can contain literal strings or expressions beginning with the equals (=) sign. When you use the Textbox inside a data-region control, the Textbox's value can display the value in a field in the data set associated with that data region. You set the Textbox's value by using the ADO.NET Fields! syntax that Figure 1 shows. This syntax comes from the Visual Basic (VB) construct for accessing members of a collection—in this case, the Fields collection. In fact, you can use any valid Visual Basic .NET expression to define the value you want to appear in a Textbox. You can also use Visual Basic .NET expressions to determine the value of formatting properties, such as font characteristics or background color, on any of the visible report controls.
The Textbox control's properties let you set all the style characteristics for the text that the Textbox contains. You need to keep a couple of Textbox requirements in mind when designing your reports. First, the Textbox control doesn't support rich text. You can apply font attributes to the entire Textbox, but you can't apply them to individual characters or words in the Textbox. Second, Textboxes have a Can Grow property that lets them expand to contain the text placed in them. When you set this property to True, the Textbox can grow vertically but not horizontally, so it pushes the controls below it further down the page.
The Rectangle control is just that—a rectangular area in the report that can contain any number of other report controls. This attribute is useful when you have a group of controls that you want to keep together in a report. For example, you might have two Textboxes beside a Table. The first Textbox is aligned with the top of the Table, but in design mode, the second Textbox appears below the Table definition. When Reporting Services renders the report, the Table grows taller, pushing the lower Textbox down so that it remains below the bottom of the Table. To keep both Textboxes beside the Table, you need to place them inside a Rectangle. Because the Rectangle doesn't start below the Table, the Table doesn't push the Rectangle down when Reporting Services renders the report. Note that the Rectangle can have a border style of None so that it isn't visible on the report.
The Image control can display an image that exists in any one of three locations: embedded in the report definition, stored as a file on the Report Server, or stored as a binary large object (BLOB) in a database. The Image control supports several file types, including BMP, JPEG, GIF, and PNG.
The final standard Toolbox control is the Subreport. The Subreport is a container object, but instead of containing other report objects, it contains an entire independently designed report. Subreports are most useful when your report contains multiple one-to-many (1:N) relationship sections or when you want to reuse a report definition in several different reports. For example, if your report is going to show orders linked to four different sales regions, you can include the same subreport in the report four times, providing a different parameter to the report each time to select the orders for the appropriate sales region. By using Subreports, you can also nest reports to facilitate user drilldown in interactive environments.
You can get much of the same functionality of a Subreport by embedding one data region within another. Because the Report Server processes each instance of a Subreport as a separate report, performance of reports that contain large Subreports can be poor. Nested data regions have better performance than Subreports, but this difference will be noticeable only with large or complex Subreports.
You can also add ActiveX controls to the Toolbox, then use them in your report layout. You add an ActiveX control by right-clicking the Toolbox and selecting Add/Remove Items. The control must comply with the .NET Common Language Specification (CLS). In other words, if you can use the ActiveX control in a .NET application, you can use it in a report.
Reporting Services' support for embedded ActiveX controls lets you add many custom capabilities—such as a calendar or multimedia elements—to your reports. Keep in mind that users can interact with an ActiveX control only when viewing the report from the report preview screen or as HTML. Users can't interact with an ActiveX control (which might not even appear) when the report is in other formats such as TIFF and PDF.
For a better understanding of the interaction between data regions and the report controls they contain, let's return to the Report Wizardgenerated report design from Figure 1. This report consists of two main controls: a Textbox containing the report title and a Table containing the report body. Each column in the Table control represents a column that will appear on the report. Each row in the Table represents a line of information that will appear on the report as follows.
The first row contains the column headings, which appear once at the beginning of the report. Following the column headings is one row for each data grouping in the report. In this report, we're grouping by store name and by order date. You set the grouping information in the table's Grouping/Sorting property. These rows repeat whenever a grouping value changes. The last row in the table contains the detail information. This row repeats for each detail record in the report.
Each cell in a Table can contain only one reporting control, but this limitation isn't severe because a Rectangle is also a container control and can contain combinations of multiple controls. In this report, each cell contains a Textbox that references a field in the Table control's data set. Figure 3 shows the resulting report.
Two properties called PageBreakAtStart and PageBreakAtEnd handle report page breaks. You can set these properties on a Table, Matrix, List, Rectangle, or Chart control. PageBreakAtStart causes the reporting object to start on a new page. PageBreakAtEnd ensures that no other reporting object follows the reporting object on the current page. You can also set a Table, Matrix, or List control to begin a new page every time it begins a new data grouping. The TIFF and PDF output formats note the specified physical dimensions of the page and add page breaks if your report extends beyond the size of one page either horizontally or vertically.
As we mentioned earlier, the Report Server stores the report definitions as RDL in a SQL Server database. To view the RDL from within the Report Designer, right-click the report name in the Solution Explorer and select View Code. You'll see RDL code, as Figure 5 shows. If you prefer to code ASP.NET in Notepad, you'll be happy to know that you can make changes (e.g., adjusting coordinates or tweaking font properties) directly in the RDL from the View Code window and have those changes reflected in the designer. Just don't tweak the code too much until you have a solid understanding of RDL, or you might end up with an invalid XML document. Both the XML schema and element definitions for RDL are in Books Online (BOL) for Reporting Services.
Deployment: From This Moment On
When your report design is complete, you can begin deploying it to a Report Server, in preparation for delivering it to users through the Report Server's Web interface and email subscriptions. The first step in this deployment is to configure the reporting project by right-clicking the project in Visual Studio and selecting Properties. In the Property Pages dialog box that Figure 6 shows, select the report to start debugging. The report that you select for debugging will automatically run on the Report Server as the final step in the deployment process. Next, in the TargetFolder field, type the name of the folder you want to place the report in on the Report Server. If this folder doesn't already exist, Reporting Services will create it for you. Finally, enter the URL of the Report Server. This will be http://machinename/ReportServer if you used the default virtual directory when you installed Reporting Services.
Once you've set these properties for the project, your reports are ready for deployment. In Visual Studio .NET, either select Deploy Solution from the Build menu or run the solution in Debug mode. Using Deploy Solution publishes all the reports in the project to the Report Server. If you debug the solution, Reporting Services publishes all the reports to the Report Server and executes the report you selected to start debugging. Except for the automatic report execution, there's no difference between running in Debug mode and the Deploy Solution option.
Alternatively, you can deploy a report by uploading its RDL file directly from the Report Manager, the Web-based administration tool included with Reporting Services. To use this method, you must locate the RDL file for the report you want to deploy. This approach has the advantage of letting you deploy a single report from a project that might contain several reports. This method of deployment might also make placing the report in the correct location in the Report Server's folder structure easier.
After deployment, the Report Server stores the report information in a report catalog, which resides in a SQL Server database. Note that although Reporting Services can include data from several different sources in a report, it requires a SQL Server database to store the reports and other meta information. As we mentioned earlier, Reporting Services encrypts the report connection information when it's placed in the database, thereby protecting sensitive information.
Delivery: Anything Goes
After you've designed and deployed a report, it's available for distribution. You can distribute reports in the Report Catalog through the Report Manager, Microsoft's SharePoint Portal Server, or a custom application. The Report Manager lets you organize reports into folders and lets users access the reports on demand or subscribe to them by email. Reports can be live reports in which the data is requeried each time they run, or they can be snapshots of standard reports that are updated regularly.
The Report Manager lets an administrator set access rights for reports and lets you create push distribution schedules to email reports to subscribers. When Reporting Services distributes reports, it renders them in human-readable formats such as HTML, TIFF, PDF, Microsoft Excel, and Web Archive (MIME encapsulation of HTML) and machine-readable formats such as XML and comma-delimited (CSV). Figure 7 shows the Report Manager Web application. Clicking a folder displays that folder's contents; clicking a report displays that report. Once you've viewed a report in the browser, you can export it to any of the aforementioned formats by selecting a format in the drop-down box that Figure 8 shows, then clicking Export.
Clicking the Subscriptions tab above a report view displays the current subscriptions to the report, as Figure 9 shows. You can also create a new subscription on this screen. Each subscription lets one or more users receive a report by email. The Report Server can send the subscriptions out on a scheduled basis or any time a snapshot report is updated. The subscription email can be in any of the available report formats.
The Properties tab of a report view shows general information about the report, including its parameters and data sources, execution caching, snapshot generation, and security properties. The Execution link, which Figure 10 shows, lets you deliver snapshots of the report by using a cached copy of the report. The Report Server generates the copy of the report according to a schedule. The History link determines whether these cached report copies are saved long-term in a snapshot history. After you create a snapshot history, a History tab above the report view displays the stored historical reports.
In addition to using the Report Manager, you can programmatically access and manage Reporting Services features through a Web service or Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), or you can access a report directly through its URL. You can use a Web service to publish, manage, and access reports. You can use WMI for server configuration. And URL access lets you integrate reports into other Web sites through direct hyperlinks.
De-End: Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye
If you've created reports in Microsoft Access, you'll be happy to note that you can convert these reports into Reporting Services reports. Currently, this is the only conversion path available for Reporting Services. Bear in mind, however, that the RDL structure that contains Reporting Services reports is a public standard. So, others will be able to create translation programs that let you move other existing report formats into Reporting Services.
Reporting Services provides a one-stop resource for handling your reporting needs in a distributed environment. Its ability to deliver reports in a secure, managed environment and its multiple rendering formats will elicit a cheer from anyone who's ever had to deliver business data to a far-flung user base.

PLEASE NOTE; SOME THINGS ARE BUGGED OR NOT USABLE IN GAME DUE TO REMOVAL. - Arin is not available in game, some users have it because arin was a feature in game in the past and has not yet been removed from those accounts. Some equipment/gear in alchemy is uncraftable , you may be able to ask the Admin to send those items to you if you prove you have all materials necessary if the set is in the Database. The store in game is mainly bugged, the admin's are working to fix this so please be patient. "Newbie Quest" is a feature in game, yet it is bugged and cannot be completed. The "Megaphones" you receive from boxes and capsules to use the function SHOUT are bugged - the only usable ones are the megas you can purchase from the IG shop. As you level up, you receive an in-game level box you can find in your room. That box is slightly bugged, there is a forum post dedicated to being sent them incase they disappear! XCODE FIXES
08:0400: Right click your main-exe file, and change your compatibility mode to windows 8, when the prompt opens on your computer - run the game in the windows of your computer, not the compatibility you changed main.exe to.
10:0300-10:0400- Double-check you have NO firewall or antivirus active. (Yes I know this is strange, I promise it won't do anything bad to disable it.) If that does not work, please contact me or one of the other admins. MISSING FILES
Sometimes your antivirus (when turned on) can delete some of your files in game, you can download them all below. 'Cannot find game file main.exe'

Hi. My name is John, and I am a 24-year old student at the University of Cambridge, Department of Medicine. During my life I have dealt many times with hemorrhoids. My father and my grandfather also suffered from this disease, as well as many other friends of mine.
There where times when I was trying to find out more about hemorrhoids, but the sites that I found on internet were filled with commercials and ads. I decided to build this site as a complete hemorrhoid resource on internet, so that people like me find what they need. Recently, I added a forum; take a look if you would like to interact with other people, you will always find help and advices on our site.
Very few diseases are referred to by so many names as Hemorrhoids. These are some of the variants of the name that are used by people searching for information on the disease, its causes and symptoms, cures and treatments: piles (used to describe this disease for more than a century, an alternative name), hemroids (the most common misspell, used often by people), hemorhoids (with a single 'r'), hemorroids (without the silent 'h' in the middle). Other common typo's might be: hemmroids, hemoroids, hemeroids, hemerroids, hameroids, hammeroids, hemmoroids, hemmeroids, hemmorhoids and hemorrhoides.
You may ask what is correct spelling, it is of course, hemorrhoids - a common name in some medicine circles. Occasionally, haemorrhoids is also used, especially by doctors. The last one is an older term, seldom used in medical publications.
According to some estimates, 40% to 50% of people all over the world, who are more than 50 years of age, suffer from this disease. This does not mean that younger people can't get it. There is just less probability and another interesting thing, more males then females suffer from hemorrhoids. Most cases of ladies affected by hemorrhoids are associated with the increased pressure on the anal region caused by the pregnancy. In the USA, for example, the prevalence is about 4.4%. In a year, almost half a million people in the U.S. are treated for hemorrhoids, with 10 to 20% of them requiring surgeries.
Another fact is that all of us have hemorrhoids and it is perfectly normal to have them, but only when they are noticeable - they don't remain out of sight, and show signs and symptoms, we say that the person has hemorrhoids. But don't worry: there are companies like ClearMed that offer a proven natural product for hemorrhoids. Check out their hemroid treatment.
In almost all the cases, hemorrhoids are embarrassing. When they first show themselves, the usual reactions are fear, shock and concern. Hemorrhoids appear when the fibers, tissues, arteries and the muscles containing blood vessels become disturbed. It causes bleeding through the anus while passing the stool. One common symptom of hemorrhoids is the bleeding. The blood that comes out is bright red in color and not the usual dark red. This would seem to most of us very strange, and we could panic even more. Actually, this happens because of the presence of the arteries in the area. Dark red blood is found in the veins, not the arteries. What you see is arterial blood and due to the presence of the arteries in the anal area, bleeding can be quite severe.
The important thing at this moment is to calm down. All hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels and for most people, they are easily cured or relieved. We have built this site to provide you all information about hemorrhoids and to help you through this 'not so good' period of your life. In right we have an old English painting. You can see in the left corner a hemorrhoid surgery.
If using suppositories or a cream for treating hemorrhoids, especially for reducing the pain and itching symptoms, you may want to consider Anusol-HCョ. In most cases, dilated veins may go away but merely give you any relief until the precipitating cause is eliminated and the body can heal itself. The most effective cream contains hydrocortisone (e.g., Anusol-HCョ[2.5%]) or some other steroid. They may only be available by prescription, although there are many preparations with low doses of steroids (1% hydrocortisone) that do not require prescription that you can find at your local drugstore.
In most cases, having hemorrhoids is an embarrassing problem; we usually are most sensitive about that part of our body. The last thing we want to do is talk to people about it; even friends are mostly out of the question. Even talking to doctors about hemorrhoids can sometimes be embarrassing. There are some cases where the shame may be amplified even more, if we believe we have caused hemorrhoids through a sexual act. Unfortunately, many patients who initially seek relief through the use of a nonprescription product will need to refer to a physician. You have to understand that doctors and surgeons are discussing the topic of hemorrhoids almost every day with their patients (because hemorrhoids are very common), they are interested in telling you what to do and think of the problem professionally, not personally. The most important thing is to get the correct diagnosis and hemorrhoid treatment options, and this can be achieved only by talking with your doctor and telling him every symptom that you have. Self-diagnosis of hemorrhoids is difficult, and NOT RECOMMENDED. A non-medical person may confuse hemorrhoids with other things like: abscess, warts, anal fissure, anal prolepses or even cancer. We have a site section included to assist you, but medical examination is strongly suggested. Patients should consult their physician if nonprescription treatments do not resolve the problem within seven days.
The standard hemorrhoid classification is dependent on the point of origin of the problem. There are mainly 2 types of hemorrhoids: internal and external. When hemorrhoids appear outside the anus, they are referred to as external hemorrhoids (they originate below the dentate line). This is easier to identify, usually from the bleeding and itching. Internal hemorrhoids are found inside the rectum and, needless to say, since there are no symptoms from the outside, they are harder to identify. One way to get a suspicion of those is from the bleeding that may come while passing stool.
Another classification would be thrombosed hemorrhoids and prolapsed ones. When there is a blood clot in the anal area due to a rupture, the condition is known as thrombosed hemorrhoids. This happens only from external hemorrhoids and when the internal hemorrhoids extend to such an extent they jut out from the anus, then they are known as prolapsed hemorrhoids.
One more reccomendation would be to use natural altenatives like acai berry for increasing your health levels. Now that we have covered all aspects, we will detail them on the other sections of our site.

Okay, I'll admit it, a cool part of running this site is getting stuff. I am thankful to all those who send me physical stuff to review, and I am also thankful to all the readers who submit their hacks for posting.
The most recent package I received was from the kind folks at sugru. I actually wrote about sugru in the past, but have never used it. Actually, I still haven't, and that's where I want some help from readers. What should I do with this stuff? I can't really think of a direct need I have right now. They sent me two packs to play with -
The instructions seem simple . . .
And man do they have a lot of colors.
So readers, pass along your ideas in comments. What should I do? Actually, what should anyone do with it? What have you done with it? I have not proposed a giveaway of any sort with the sugru folks, but if I see some good ideas in comments maybe I can try to twist their arms to giveaway some samples to BikeHacks readers as well.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC announced today the acquisition of goalkeeper Brad Knighton to the club's Major League Soccer (MLS) roster – pending the receipt of his International Transfer Certificate. Per Major League Soccer and club policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.
"Brad is a solid goalkeeper with strong communication and distribution skills, is excellent on crosses, and brings four years of MLS experience," said Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie. "Brad had a outstanding season last year with me in Carolina and now I look forward to seeing him provide healthy competition between the posts here in Vancouver."
Knighton, 26, joins Whitecaps FC after a solid season with Carolina RailHawks of the second-tier North American Soccer League (NASL). The product of Richmond, Virginia, played every minute for the NASL regular season champions. In 28 regular season starts, the 6-foot-2, 195-pound keeper posted a goals-against average (GAA) of 0.94, while recording 113 saves and eight shutouts. For his efforts, Knighton earned a spot on the 2011 NASL Best XI and was runner-up for the NASL Golden Glove award.
Prior to joining the RailHawks, Knighton played four seasons in MLS following a successful preseason tryout with New England Revolution in 2007. He went on to play three seasons with New England, recording one win, two defeats, and three draws in six regular season starts. During the 2008 season, Knighton played eight matches on loan with Portland Timbers of the United Soccer Leagues First Division. Following the 2009 season, Knighton was selected by Philadelphia Union in the 2009 MLS Expansion Draft. As a member of the first-year MLS club, the shot-stopper recorded three wins, three defeats, and one draw with a GAA of 1.10 in eight starts.
I'm delighted to be returning to MLS with Vancouver Whitecaps FC and continuing my career under head coach Martin Rennie," Knighton said. "I've heard many great things about the club and the city, and I look forward to helping Whitecaps FC have a successful 2012 season."
A four-year starter in college, Knighton helped the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) make four consecutive trips to the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Tournament and became the first Seahawks player to sign a contract with MLS. At UNCW, Knighton ranks first all-time in career shutouts with 24, as well as second in GAA with a 1.08 average and appearances with 75. During his senior year, Knighton was named to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) All-South Atlantic Region Second Team and to the All-CAA First Team. In 2006, Knighton played with Indiana Invaders in the United Soccer Leagues Premier Development League (PDL). He made 11 appearances and registered a GAA of 1.78 that season, as the Invaders finished third in the Great Lakes Division of the PDL's Central Conference.

Roses are red, Raymond grads on cueBy RYAN O'CONNOR
Union Leader Correspondent
June 13. 2014 9:24PM
RAYMOND — Of the 85 Raymond High School seniors who clad themselves in cap and gown and walked into the RHS gymnasium Friday night, each carried a rose.
Before receiving their diplomas, each student stepped down from the makeshift bleachers setup in front of the gymnasium, ventured into the surprised crowd, each handing a rose to someone there who made the moment possible.
"My classmates tonight would each like to present a rose to someone who truly helped us get through the past four years," said Kimberly McLaughlin, one of the RHS senior class officers. "This person may be a teacher, a parent or even a friend. The teacher who bugged you every day to pass in your later work, the parent who yelled at you to leave every day at 7:13, even though they knew you could get there on time, 10 minutes later, or someone who simply listened to you when we needed you most. These are the things we will remember, and we really appreciate all you've done for us."
Yet the evening, of course, was ultimately about each of those seniors, some who breezed to academic success throughout their four years at RHS, and others who worked for every passing grade.
"It's crazy to think that we will not be waking up to come to RHS next year, to walk in the hallways we've grown to know, and most of all, not seeing all the familiar faces of our peers and teachers," said senior class president Makayla Philibert. "But shortly we will all go our separate ways, either stepping right into the workforce or continuing our education."
Though graduating high school is, in itself, a huge accomplishment, Philibert said RHS's teachers administrators, coaches and advisors set she and her peers up for future success.
"As freshmen, we could not wait until the day we graduated. Now that it's here, we can't believe it," she said. "High school went by in the blink of an eye, but we are ready to graduate. We have worked hard to get to this point, but we could not have done it ourselves. We need to stop and realize there are a lot of things we take for granted ... Because of your support and encouragement, we are hear celebrating this important night together."
Also representing the Raymond High School Class of 2014 Friday night were Salutatorian Jessica Robey and Valedictorian Tarryn Goddard.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Mayor Mitch Landrieu says he doesn't think the 34-minute power failure during the Super Bowl will hurt New Orleans' chances of getting the NFL's championship game in 2018.
In an interview Monday with WWL-AM (www.wwl.com ), Landrieu said league owners were impressed with the city's performance as event host.
Officials for the company that manages the Superdome and power provider Entergy New Orleans said an "abnormality" occurred where stadium equipment intersects with an electric feed early in the third quarter of Sunday's game. Much of the stadium's interior lighting was shut down while the system recycled.
Landrieu joked that the game got better after the blackout. He said it was getting boring, and fans were leaving. "We had to do a little something to spice it up," he said.

High Court judge Justice Ronald Young's close questioning of Waikato River iwi submissions on the Government's asset sales plan this morning does not indicate he believes the arguments lack merit, the Maori Council says.
The High Court bid to block the Government's plan to partially privatise Mighty River Power met with early resistance as it got underway this morning in Wellington.
The Waikato River Dam Trust, which comprises Waikato Tainui, Ngati Ata, Pouakani and other river iwi and hapu, led submissions before Justice Young.
The trust's lawyer, Helen Cull QC, told Justice Young she would argue that a plan to move Mighty River Power from the State Owned Assets Act to the Public Finance Act without first ensuring there was as mechanism for the recognition of Maori proprietary rights and interests in water was inconsistent with the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi, and therefore unlawful.
However, Justice Young challenged a number of points raised in Ms Cull's submissions.
He told her there was nothing to prevent the Government from recognising Maori proprietary rights and interests in water following the partial sale by amending the Resource Management Act.
Ms Cull argued it would be difficult to that as it may cut across the rights of those who bought shares in the company on the assumption the company would pay nothing for the water it used in its power stations.
However, Justice Young said Parliament could and did change the commercial environment under which companies operated and it was its sovereign right to do so.
Justice Young also closely questioned Ms Cull on her argument that Section 27 of the SOE Act, which provides mechanisms for earmarking power company assets for future treaty settlements, would be subverted by Mighty River being removed from the legislation.
Maori Council spokeswoman Rahui Katene downplayed the significance of Justice Young's challenges to Ms Cull's arguments.
"I think that he has an open mind and he is trying to get to what the argument is about. Once he's heard what the Crown has got to say then he's able to look at it on balance, but at this stage he's got to keep an open mind and he's got to make sure he understands what the argument is."
Following the trust's submissions, the Maori Council will put its case to court which will argue the partial sale before Maori rights and interests are dealt with is unconstitutional.
The Crown will make its submissions from tomorrow afternoon onwards in the hearing which is scheduled to run for four days.
The Government plans to sell shares in Mighty River Power company in the first stage of its $5 billion to $7 billion "mixed ownership model" some time between March and June next year.

Jungle Helen in diva strop
JUNGLE babe Helen Flanagan has become reality TV's biggest-ever diva after trying to ban the cameras from filming her.
They are doing this to me every single bloody day. It's just not fair. I am pissed off
The tantrum-throwing actress demanded the cameras be turned off for the first time in I'm A Celebrity's 10-year history.
Helen, 22, made her outrageous demand after being caught on camera slagging off TV viewers.
The former Corrie star lashed out at the public after they voted for her to face her third Bushtucker Trial in a row called Cruelty Towers.
She blasted: "It pisses me off that they're doing this to me again and again.
"They are doing this to me every single bloody day. It's just not fair. I am pissed off."
Helen thought she had made her comments in private.
But the camp is surrounded by spy cameras and camera crews.
After realising her rant had been recorded, she shouted at bosses to stop shooting.
The actress, who played Corrie's Rosie Webster, said she was "having a private moment and breathing space" which should not have been filmed.
And she claimed if her remarks were aired on TV then viewers would hate her even more.
She barked at the lensmen: "What are you doing? Why are you filming me?
"I didn't know you were filming me. You can't show this.
"I want people to be nice to me. If you show this then it's going to paint me in a bad light."
Helen's outburst stunned bosses and camera crews who pointed out that I'm A Celebrity is a reality TV show where everyone is filmed 24/7.
A show source said: "It's the classic reality TV moment when someone forgets cameras are there and slips up.
"I'm A Celebrity is not a scripted soap opera. If someone says something they shouldn't, then it's tough."
Last night viewers saw Helen flop miserably in the croc-infested "hotel of horrors" trial Cruelty Towers.
She had to grab two stars from every room to win 10 meals for her starving camp mates.
But after holding up the trial with a series of strops, she lasted just 90 seconds and ended up with no meals.
Meanwhile comic Brian Conley, 51, tried to keep cool under the waterfall but ended up losing his pants.

quattro all-wheel drive is not just another technology for Audi. quattro® is an icon, which has millions of fans worldwide.
When it first appeared in 1980, the Audi quattro all-wheel drive system stunned the motoring world, dominating international motorsport and raising passenger car handling and safety to unimaginable new levels.
Today, our legendary quattro all-wheel drive system is available across 78 Audi models in Australia; with at least one quattro in every model line. In fact, Audi has now produced more than 5 million quattro® cars to date, which makes us the world's most successful premium manufacturer of all-wheel drive vehicles.
Not every quattro is the same. Audi has developed the perfect all-wheel drive technology to suit the needs of different models within the range. The one thing that all quattro models do have in common is the outstanding traction and driving pleasure that only a quattro can offer.
The key benefits of quattro all-wheel drive includes:
- Superior traction for outstanding driving dynamics and acceleration performance
- Excellent cornering and directional stability
- Enhanced vehicle safety
- Increased towing capability
- More fun behind the wheel
As a result of continuous development since the idea was first conceived, no other technology from Audi embodies the progressive brand essence, 'Vorsprung durch Technik' as much as quattro does. We will continue to break new ground with an unwavering commitment to vehicle safety and performance.

The April 2010 the company's Macondo well blowout and the explosion that followed killed 11 workers and set off the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history. The sinking of Transocean Ltd.'s Deepwater Horizon drilling rig and the spill led to hundreds of lawsuits against BP and its partners and contractors.
The Justice Department sued BP in December 2010, alleging the company failed to prevent or contain the spill and seeking fines for each barrel of oil discharged.
The government estimated that more than 4 million barrels of oil were spilled. If BP is found to be grossly negligent, a legal standard the government would have to prove showing the accident resulted from a conscious BP act or omission, it could be fined as much as much as $4,300 per barrel.
Settling Claims
BP set aside $3.5 billion to pay potential Clean Water Act fines, using its own estimate of 3.2 million barrels and a maximum fine of $1,100 per barrel without gross negligence.
BP reached a settlement with most non-government plaintiffs in March, agreeing to pay an estimated $7.8 billion. That settlement averted a trial scheduled to determine liability for the disaster.
BP agreed to pay most claims for economic loss, property damage and injuries from businesses, property owners and other non-government victims of the spill. BP also established a medical-monitoring program to handle claims from people who contend they are suffering medical problems from the oil or chemicals used to clean it up.
BP and lawyers representing non-government victims of the spill won preliminary court approval of the proposed settlement agreement in May and argued for final approval at a hearing on Nov. 8. A decision is pending.
The government case is U.S. v. BP Exploration & Production Inc., 2:10-cv-04536, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Louisiana (New Orleans). The lawsuit is part of In Re Oil Spill by the Oil Rig Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20, 2010, MDL-2179, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Louisiana (New Orleans).

ARCADIA, Calif. (Jan. 16, 2014)–An impressive gate to wire winner of the Grade II Bayakoa Stakes Dec. 7, the Jerry Hollendorfer-trained Broken Sword heads a field of seven 4-year-old fillies in Sunday's Grade II, $200,000 La Canada Stakes at 1 1/16 miles.
In winning the mile and a sixteenth Bayakoa, the Broken Vow filly earned a career-best Beyer Speed figure of 103, winning by 4 ¼ lengths over Bob Baffert's Fiftyshadesofhay, who she will have to contend with again on Sunday.
Ridden by eastern-based Joel Rosario in the Bayakoa, Broken Sword will be handled by Rafael Bejarano in the prestigious La Canada, Santa Anita's final graded stakes offering for 4-year-old fillies.
Owned by Mark Dedomenico LLC, Hollendorfer and George Todaro, Broken Sword is based at Golden Gate Fields.
"She worked Tuesday at Golden Gate (five furlongs in 1:05.60), then shipped here, just like she did before she won the Bayakoa at Hollywood Park," said Dan Ward, assistant to Hollendorfer, Thursday morning at Santa Anita. "She trains better up there."
The La Canada will be Broken Sword's first start at Santa Anita as she seeks career win number four in her ninth start. She has earnings of $156,660.
Hollendorfer will also be represented by Tommy Town Thoroughbreds' homebred Let Faith Arise, who has been idle since running a close eighth, beaten 2 ¼ lengths, in the Grade III, 6 ½ furlong turf Senator Ken Maddy Stakes Nov. 2.
With four wins from seven starts sprinting, the La Canada will be her first try routing and her eighth career start.
Like Hollendorfer, Bob Baffert will also saddle a pair in the La Canada, Fiftyshadesofhay and Ondine.
The even money favorite in the nine-horse Bayakoa, Fiftyshadesofhay was a 5 ¾ length winner of the Grade III, mile and a sixteenth Santa Ysabel Stakes a year ago at Santa Anita and her biggest sophomore score came in the Grade II, mile and one eighth Black Eyed Susan on May 17 at Baltimore's Pimlico Racecourse.
A Kentucky-bred filly by Pulpit, Fiftyshadesofhay had a sensational 2013, banking $738,057 while winning three races from nine starts. Owned by Mike Pegram, Karl Watson and Paul Weitman, she has four wins from 13 overall starts.
The "other Baffert" in Sunday's La Canada is Peachtree Stable's Ondine. A Florida-bred daughter of Medaglia d'Oro, she's been idle since taking the 6 ½ furlong Beverly J. Lewis Stakes at Fairplex Park Sept. 6. Her third place finish in the Grade II, 1 1/16 miles Hollywood Oaks on June 22 stamps her a legitimate contender in the La Canada.
With three wins, Ondine has never been off the board in eight starts and she has two wins from three starts at the La Canada distance.
Trainer Jim Cassidy will saddle the multiple graded stakes placed Oscar Party, who returns to Southern California following a third place finish in the 1 1/16 miles Zia Park Oaks Nov. 27. Owned by Deron Pearson, the Kentucky-bred filly by Dixie Union will be making her fourth start on natural dirt and her 12 overall in the La Canada. She has two wins, a second and three thirds.
The complete field for the La Canada, to be run as the eighth race on a nine-race program Sunday, with jockeys and weights in post position order: Let Faith Arise, Corey Nakatani, 118; Ondine, Martin Garcia, 118; Oscar Party, Joe Talamo, 118; Fiftyshadesofhay, Mike Smith, 120; Broken Sword, Rafael Bejarano, 123; Spellbound, Victor Espinoza, 118, and Rathbaun, Tyler Baze, 123.
First post time on Sunday is at 12:30 p.m., admission gates will open at 10:30 a.m.

Artist Nasan Tur Addresses Political Turmoil through Magic at West Den Haag
Artsy Editorial
In a diverse practice that ranges from sculpture, drawing, video, and photography to performance and installation, Nasan Tur examines social conditions, probing the relationship between production and value and modes of communication. In his sculptures Demo Kits Deluxe (2009), Tur references an earlier project, Demo Kits, where viewers were invited to dispense the works—consisting of objects such as spray paint and protest banners—from vending machines placed in public spaces. The deluxe version is constructed using precious metals, rare hardwoods and luxurious satins, suggesting the capitalist tendency to commodify countercultural actions. In Variationen von Kapital (2013), Tur presents a site-specific installation comprising approximately 800 seemingly identical drawings spelling out the word "Kapital," but each spelling is slightly different. To produce the drawings Tur relies on a process that constructs a relationship between mass production and handcraft; a computer selects a spelling from one of 40,000 possible options; the artist then meticulously paints each onto hand-torn Tibetan paper using Indian ink.

This scarf was sent as a birthday present from Alexander Fainberg to his fiancée whilst he was interned in Onchan Camp on the Isle of Man. Alexander Fainberg was born in Berlin and arrived in England in 1939. In July 1940 he was interned as an "enemy alien". He was released in July 1941 and married his fiancée in November of that year.
With the outbreak of war in 1939, Germans and Austrians living in Britain became classified as "enemy aliens". They were brought before tribunals to assess their risk to national security and 600 were immediately interned.
As the war stepped up, Prime Minister Winston Churchill ordered that all enemy aliens be interned. By mid-1940, 27,000 Jewish refugees were interned, mostly on the Isle of Man, despite the fact that they had fled Nazi persecution and were keen to support the British war effort. In August 1940 the first internees were released, and by summer 1941 only 5,000 were left in the camps. Many of the internees went on to serve in the British army.

The OPA340 series rail-to-rail CMOS operational amplifiers are optimized for
low-voltage, single-supply operation. Rail-to-rail input and output and high-speed operation make
them ideal for driving sampling analog-to-digital (A/D) converters. They are also well-suited for
general purpose and audio applications as well as providing I/V conversion at the output of
digital-to-analog (D/A) converters. Single, dual, and quad versions have identical specifications
for design flexibility.
The OPA340 series operate on a single supply as low as 2.5 V with an input common-mode
voltage range that extends 500 mV below ground and 500 mV above the positive supply. Output voltage
swing is to within 1 mV of the supply rails with a 100-kΩ load. These devices offer excellent
dynamic response
(BW = 5.5 MHz, SR = 6 V/µs), yet quiescent current is only 750 A. Dual and quad designs
feature completely independent circuitry for lowest crosstalk and freedom from interaction.
The single (OPA340) packages are the tiny 5-pin SOT-23 surface mount, 8-pin SOIC surface
mount, and 8-pin DIP. The dual (OPA2340) comes in the miniature 8-pin VSSOP surface mount, 8-pin
SOIC surface mount, and 8-pin PDIP packages. The quad (OPA4340) packages are the space-saving
16-pin SSOP surface mount and 14-pin SOIC surface mount. All are specified from –40°C to 85°C and
operate from –55°C to 125°C. A SPICE macromodel is available for design analysis.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - March 8, 2013 --Pennsylvanians are dealing with a light coating of March snow in many areas, but a warm-up is expected for the weekend.
In the Philadelphia region, many people woke up to an inch or two of snow Friday. Light snowfall is expected to continue in the region for much of the morning. Up to two inches is expected in some areas, but it will likely turn to rain in many places.
The snow has led to slippery conditions on the roadways in some areas, but no major problems have been reported.
Temperatures are expected to climb up into the 50s in many areas over the weekend.

I have an 8 yr. old Schnauzer that was diagnosed with Cushings Disease 1 yr. ago (blood work & other blood test) Alk. phosphate was 1200 on the last test and all other liver levels were normal. His symptons are still mild and the vet has suggested we hold off on the conventional treatment because it is so dangerous. Herbs sounds like a better avenue to persue at this time. Any suggestions?
The first thing to address is diet. Nutrition is the cornerstone of health, so the better the diet, the better equipped the dog's system is to resist disease and chronic health conditions. You may find the article on the Only Natural Pet Store website entitled
What You Need to Know About Your Pet's Food helpful.
There are a number of immune support supplements for auto-immune diseases that can be helpful in modulating the immune system of animals with autoimmune diseases. I almost always recommend Only Natural Pet Immune Balance. You can consider using this supplement along with other therapies suggested by a holistic veterinarian.
I highly recommend you seek the help of a holistic veterinarian in your area to help you with treating your dog with Cushing's disease. There are holistic treatments available including homeopathy and Chinese herbs, but the prescription process is far more complicated than can be addressed via email. A more complete history and an examination by a holistic veterinarian would be the best course for your companion.
Here is a link to the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association referral directory. If there is not a holistic veterinarian within reasonable distance of your home, many of them do phone consultations.

Mike Shalin's Working Press -- Celts-Cavs: It's time to bring it onBy MIKE SHALIN
October 16. 2017 10:14PM
"I don't think they really pose a big threat to us."
The words came from old pal J.R. Smith on Monday when he was asked about the Boston Celtics.
The Celts and Cavaliers, who made a whopper of a trade during the offseason, get after it for real tonight in Cleveland. When it comes to these two teams, especially after the trade, we mean for REAL.
Isaiah Thomas won't be playing. LeBron James has an ankle problem that makes him questionable for the opener (Smith vows James will play and we tend to agree with him).
There will be a video tribute to Kyrie Irving, who is likely to hear it from his old home crowd and plays down the return with the words, "Man, it's just hoops."
Jae Crowder … remember him? He's ready to start his new life, and starts it by guarding Gordon Hayward.
"I'm over it. I've moved on," Crowder said Sunday. "I'm with a great group of guys right here who have worked very, very hard each day we've been at practice. It's been fun to be around. Of course, at the time I was shocked, but now that I've moved on, I'm not."
The storylines for this one are bursting at the seams. Marcus Morris, one of the thousands of new Celtics on the rebuilt roster, won't play because of a knee injury, thus elevating top draft pick Jayson Tatum into the starting lineup.
The Celtics fly right out of Cleveland and come home for Wednesday night's home opener against the Bucks, who can watch Tuesday night's game from their Boston hotel rooms.
Mark this down: The Celtics are good. But it appears you can also count on some growing pains as the players learn each other. That's Brad Stevens' biggest task as he gets these guys primed for another run at the Eastern Conference finals.
Irving will lead the way.
He knows the atmosphere will be crazy in Cleveland but says, "I've been in Game 7 in San Francisco and playing in a high-intense environment. There is no blocking out the noise or anything like that. It's going to be there whether I like it or not. It's going to be rowdy in there.
"It's going to be a great first season game opener, like it has been for the last six years when I was there. It was the same, getting used to the unbelievable Cavs fans ready to cheer on the Cavaliers. Now I'm coming in as an opponent trying to get a W."
Hayward, making his Celtics debut, has become a background story thanks to Irving returning to Cleveland. "I guess I'm just ready to get going," said Hayward. "Lot of things happened this summer, lot of buildup, just ready to get to the games. It's gonna be a fun matchup for sure."
Bruins limp home
The schedule makers did the Bruins a huge favor starting out the NHL season. Nashville at home was a decent test (and a win), but it was at home, but then came two games with Colorado, the second on the road, and then weekend road games at Arizona and the expansion team.
They come home for Thursday's game against the Canucks with a 2-3 record — and with the added sting of losing to the goalie they just gave away.
They have the next four games at home — against Vancouver, Buffalo, San Jose and Los Angeles — and the second and third games of the homestand are separated by four days that allow for practice.
After the Bruins scored only one goal on Sunday in Las Vegas, coming on a lucky bounce with 30 seconds left against a hardly overworked Malcolm Subban, Brad Marchand said, "We were making it hard on ourselves. We were trying to do too much with the puck. Weren't directing enough pucks to the net, which makes it tough to get there. You can't get rebounds."
This team is hardly loaded with offense and playing those first five games without Patrice Bergeron, just getting Torey Krug back and with David Backes going down didn't make things any easier. Bergeron remains day-to-day and we'll see if the break between these games will help get him back.
Blown call?
I really don't care what the NFL's explanation was for taking that touchdown away from the Jets Sunday. There wasn't one person in that stadium who thought that was even a consideration and the only complaint the Patriots could have had was asking for either an incompletion or the ball would be placed short of a touchdown. I have watched the play 25 times and still don't see a clear fumble.
Naturally, the conspiracy theorists were front and center after this stupidity. Patriots fans, who normally think everything the NFL does is aimed AT the Patriots, couldn't say much. Jets fans, and just about everyone else who hates the Patriots around the country, screamed the opposite — that the NFL wasn't about to allow Tom Brady to lose to the Jets on another record-setting day for Brady.
Both are full of it. There's no conspiracy. There's just good calls and bad calls. I love a good conspiracy but all of this is bunk.
So is Colin Kaepernick not having a job — and now he's taking his case to arbitration. I hope he wins.
Time to spend
This from the Globe's Alex Speier Monday regarding the Red Sox and the luxury tax:
"It's almost impossible to imagine the Red Sox staying below the tax threshold again. To the contrary, if they hope to improve their roster — with president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski already on record saying that he has to add more power to the lineup — then the question will shift from whether they'll stay below the threshold to just how far beyond it they'll spend."
If that's the case, the fans will be happy. With dead money on the books, more money has to be spent to make this team better for a new manager.
Wrote Speier: "Unless the Red Sox either find a taker for one of their biggest contracts (David Price, Hanley Ramirez, Rick Porcello) or decide to trade multiple arbitration-eligible players who represent relative bargains for their production, they seem poised to blow past the luxury tax threshold, which has been set at $197 million for the 2018 season. "
Here and there
My favorite stat of the weekend? Duke is 0-20 against Florida State in football. … The NFL continues to lose stars at an alarming rate, Aaron Rodgers the latest. … All six quarterbacks have thrown for over 300 yards against the Pats this season and, going back to last year's playoff, it's seven out of eight (the Steelers did it in the AFC title game but the Falcons did not in the Super Bowl.) … Finally, Boston College freshman A.J. Dillon, who ran for 272 yards and four touchdowns on 39 carries in Saturday's upset of Louisville, won both the Walter Camp national of the week and ACC rookie of the week awards and was also named the ACC co-offensive back of the week, the latter a strange honor in light of the national award, right?

Byrd, Phillies agree to $16 million, 2-year deal
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Marlon Byrd cashed in on his comeback season.
Byrd and the Philadelphia Phillies agreed Tuesday to a $16 million, two-year contract, a deal that came less than a year after he was playing in Mexico's winter league.
The 36-year-old outfielder hit a career-high 24 homers last season for the New York Mets and Pittsburgh, which acquired him on Aug. 27. He batted .364 with one homer and five RBIs in six playoff games after hitting .291 during the season with 88 RBIs, one short of his career best.
"Marlon adds a significant upgrade both offensively and defensively to our outfield," Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said in a statement. "He has been particularly productive against left-handed pitching, which was a serious challenge for us this past season."
Byrd was drafted by the Phillies and began his big league career in Philadelphia. His agreement calls for $8 million in each of the next two seasons and includes an $8 million team option for 2016, The option would become guaranteed if he has 1,100 at-bats in the next two seasons, including at least 550 in 2015, or 600 at-bats in 2015.
"If you don't want to give up your first-round pick, Marlon Byrd is arguably the best available outfield bat," Pirates general manager Neal Huntington said. "We feared he was out of our price range immediately. We stayed engaged in the process, and Marlon and his agents talked about wanting to come back to Pittsburgh. He loved his time there. The environment and playing for a winner and playing in front of that fan base was something that really intrigued him."
A career .280 hitter with 106 homers and 533 RBIs, Byrd was released by Boston in June 2012, then given a 50-game suspension 11 days later following a positive test for Tamoxifen, which can reduce side effects of steroid use and increase testosterone. At the time, Byrd said he mistakenly used the medication for a recurrence of a condition that earlier required surgery. He says he did not use it for performance enhancement.
He played winter ball for the Tomateros de Culiacan (Culiacan Tomato Growers) and signed a minor league contract with the Mets on Feb. 1. He wound up on their big league roster for a base salary of $700,000 and earned another $100,000 in performance bonuses based on plate appearances.
Both the dollars and the years offered by the Phillies were at a level the Pirates were unprepared to match in talks with agents Sam and Seth Levinson.
"The timing really bit us, and Ruben did a great job of going out and getting his guy early — what we did with Russ Martin a year ago," Huntington said. "We weren't in a position to be able to move this quickly."
Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said the deal was an indication of inflation in free-agent prices.
"Had you asked me the question three or four months ago, I might have been surprised, but not in the light of what's happened since the end of the season," he said. "There haven't been that many signings, but this one is consistent with the others."
Philadelphia had sought a right-handed hitting outfielder with power since Jayson Werth left for Washington following the 2010 season. Ben Francisco, John Mayberry Jr. and Delmon Young weren't solutions; Hunter Pence was acquired in July 2011 and traded a year later.
Darin Ruf hit 14 homers in 251 at-bats last season while starting 27 games in right field, 15 in left and 28 at first base. But Ruf, a converted first baseman, is hardly the defensive player Byrd is and is viewed as a role player.
Philadelphia's outfielders hit .259 with 57 homers and a .407 slugging percentage this year. Byrd could be a major upgrade.
"He is an experienced middle-of-the-order hitter who creates some balance to our lineup," Amaro said. "With his talent and clubhouse presence, we believe Marlon will be a solid addition to our club as we address our needs and plan to contend in 2014 and beyond."
Byrd was once a prized prospect in the Phillies' minor league system. He finished fourth in NL Rookie of the Year voting in 2003 after hitting .303, but struggled the next two seasons and was traded to Washington.
Byrd has also played for Texas, the Chicago Cubs and Boston in a 12-year career with seven teams. He was an NL All-Star with the Cubs in 2010 and his best season before last year came with the Rangers in 2009 when he batted .283 with 20 homers and 89 RBIs.
AP Sports Writer Rob Maaddi in Philadelphia contributed to this report.

Taken 2 arrives in theaters this weekend promising pretty much everything you loved about the original Taken-- Liam Neeson is back in Europe, bad guys are back to doing bad, and he's got to set them straight in order to protect his family. But of course, no sequel is as simple as that, and nobody knows that better than director Olivier Megaton, who when he was first offered the job of directing Taken 2 said "What's the point?"
Obviously he changed his mind, and after some script rewrites and a decision to take everything in a darker direction-- seriously, the movie opens with the funerals for the guys Liam Neeson killed in the first film-- he set out to Istanbul to make his most high-profile film yet. Megaton, who has known producer Luc Besson for 20 years--since he turned down a job as second-unit director on The Professional-- previously made Transporter 3 and Colombiana, and moved on to Taken 2 to tell yet another story about an unlikely action hero, though one who had already proven his "specialized set of skills" once before.
In New York last week I talked to Megaton about how he changed his mind and wound up directing Taken 2, why Neeson's Bryan Mills is the right action hero for our times, the continuing plans to make the Professional sequel Mathilda, and how he wound up going from a graffiti artist from a director-- and that Luc Besson had less to do with it than you think. Check out our entire conversation below, and see Taken 2 in theaters this weekend.
It's really ballsy to start the movie with the funeral for the guys killed in the last movie. Where did that idea come from? In this one we wanted to base everything around something a little stronger, with the family thing and so on, so we decided to create two action sequences based on what we did in the first one. Just to build to more about this character.
People criticize movies like Taken for having violence where you don't think about the victims. This one takes it really seriously, and makes it darker.
We created this new character of the villain, played by Rade Saverdia, who is a huge actor. We wanted someone who could be a father. We had to learn a lot of things about the success [of the first Taken], because nobody was waiting for it. We chose another direction because we couldn't do it exactly the same. We wanted to change it and have more depth to all the characters. We worked on this character to be a good opponent against Bryan. The point was to do something a little stronger, have more depth, have a darker character in Bryan. He's bored, not of killing people, but of doing this. The whole story, the whole plot, the whole structure, everything was to try and create something different. Action movies today are going to so fast you can't say you're going to do everything faster and faster. We tried to work in a little more structure.
There are a lot of elaborate action sequences in the movie. What are you most proud of?
I'm not a fan of action movies. I don't watch many action movies, I don't have a lot of references except for 70s action movies or cinema noir. and what I like the most today are the Korean movies, Oldboy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. For me, the sequence I am very proud of is after the fight-- the fight is great and huge, and it was very hard to do, we did it in two afternoons. The same day we shot the drama with Rade. We were in the same mood-- everybody, the team, the actors. Rade was there, he saw the fight. Liam was exhausted, and when he says "I'm tired of all this," he was really tired of this. To mix all this and make a very emotional movie to everybody. I don't want to be the best director of action movies. It's very technical, mechanical for me. I know that the audience will stand there and there and there. Everything has been thought out and is very precise.
Between Zoe Saldana in Colombiana and Liam Neeson here, you seem to be establishing these new kinds of models for the modern action hero.
Yeah, especially Liam, because Liam is a huge actor, he's been in like 70 movies. Suddenly a real, great actor becomes an action hero. But he is an actor, he's one of the best actors in the world. Every crisis, economic, wars and so on, every crisis creates a new hero. In the 30s it was Superman, then Captain America… every crisis creates this. We had a huge, huge crisis 3 years ago, and Taken arrived like this. Because this crisis creates something in the audience. The people, they couldn't believe anybody, because they were screwed by everybody.
So for the first time this new hero close to them, he's like the father next door. He could be a guy you cross on the street. He doesn't have a superpower, he just has his heart and the love of his family. I think this is something new. They tried to do this in other movie, like in The Dark Knight, he broke the superhero logic and brought someone dark. Even The Joker in The Dark Knight, you were attached to him, because there's something about him-- sure he's a psycho, sure he's a bad guy, but there was something different. I think this is the new deal when you make an action movie today. CGI is going too far, so we have to be closer to the people, closer to the audience, more realistic, more organic.
How did you learn to direct action?
I never learned. I'm a painter, I was a graffiti artist, and I painted all over the world. One day a guy told me "You should be a director." So he helped me, this guy was a photographer, and he helped me shoot my first movie. I never wanted to be a director. I came into this industry by the little door, so I never learned anything, I never went to school. Actors will tell you I'm very precise. I just have the intuition of doing things. People say that I have a sixth sense of action. I think it's much more improvisation and intuition. I'm structuring a lot and working a lot, but I don't learn anything from anybody. They say, yeah, you come form Luc Besson. No. The story is not so easy.
What's the story then?
He proposed that I work on The Professional 20 years ago as a second unit director, and I never did. I told him, what for? I didn't know how to do it. I don't want to do something if I don't know how to do it. After this we didn't meet each other for a long time. He bought my first movie, but he just bought it, and for 10 years we didn't work together. One day he called me because they were working on Hitman, and the director was young, so he asked it I could direct the second unit and especially the action sequences. It was fun for me. I did it, everyone liked it. So it began like this.

Okay. Seriously? I promise to get back into doing posts that affirm and defend a proper theory of government and liberty rather than just complaining about the effects of a false theory of government (or just as likely, a complete lack of deeper thinking at all), but I just could not believe my eyes when I read this today. Popular on Digg.com this morning was an article which said of college football:
It is also the only major sport that doesn't use a playoff to determine its champion, which is the source of much debate pretty much every year. And for the last couple years, we've had lawmakers trying to influence the process, saying that the NCAA should have a playoff for college football.
Seriously(!)? I continued to read through the article and found a link to another on ESPN.com (from barely a month ago on December 10th) and was horrified at what I read:
Taking aim at a BCS system he said "consistently misfires," a member of Congress planned to introduce legislation Wednesday that would force college football to adopt a playoff to determine the national champion.
Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, the ranking Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, didn't specify what sort of playoff he wants -- only that the BCS should go.
He said the bill -- being co-sponsored by Reps. Bobby Rush, an Illinois Democrat, and Michael McCaul, a Texas Republican -- "will prohibit the marketing, promotion, and advertising of a postseason game as a 'national championship' football game, unless it is the result of a playoff system. Violations of the prohibition will be treated as violations of the Federal Trade Commission Act as an unfair or deceptive act or practice."
Leaving aside the issue of whether or not the NCAA should have a playoff to determine its national champion, how on earth do three congressmen actually think it's their legitimate role to regulate sports? Are our leaders really so out of their minds that they think they are justified in controlling every aspect of our lives? I guess I missed the section in Article I of the Constitution that gave Congress the power to regulate college sports. I guess these three congressmen missed the part in the 10th Amendment that says powers not specifically enumerated for the Federal government are reserved to the states and the people.
Barack Obama has also been vocal in his support for an NCAA playoff. When I read in the articles above that Obama was in support of one, I imagined that he had simply expressed his opinion and not indicated that he was actually going to do something about it as president. But watch the interview below, where he is asked specifically what he would do about it as president. He reiterates his position and says "I'm going to throw my weight around a little bit. I think it's the right thing to do." You are absolutely wrong, Mr. Obama. Using your office and power to coerce a private national sports organization into taking an action you think is best is the absolutely wrong thing to do, even if you're correct in thinking they should have a playoff.
Don't they have something better to do? As I've pointed out again, and again, and again, our leaders are no longer interested in what is legal or constitutional. Rule of law has disappeared from our country and while it may not seem like it on the surface, we have descended perilously close to a state of anarchy. If you find that talk alarmist, my response is that you ought to be alarmed. If you find that talk inaccurate, please comment and tell me the proper response to and appraisal of news items such as these. If you think I need to calm down, my response is that you need to get excited. This matters. These flagrant violations of our law and constitution matter. This is one of the biggest issues of our day and we as patriots and lovers of liberty need to make it an issue and hold our politicians to account for their actions.
Ben Bryan pointed out to me that by "throw my weight around" Obama could mean only that he intends to speak out on the issue and levy his popular influence as a president to affect a change in policy, rather than make it a point of his legislative agenda. That's fair enough. I should give him a little more benefit of the doubt. I certainly hope this is the case. We'll just have to wait and see when he talks about it some more. I'll be sure to keep you updated here at Humble Libertarian.

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — Lawmakers in Ethiopia are set to pass a bill that puts homosexuality on a list of offenses considered "non-pardonable" under the country's amnesty law.
The measure, endorsed last week by Ethiopia's Council of Ministers, is widely expected to pass when it is put to a vote next week.
In Ethiopia, same-sex acts are illegal and punishable by up to 15 years in prison. A 25-year jail term is also prescribed for anyone convicted of infecting another person with HIV during same-sex acts.
Ethiopia's president often pardons thousands of prisoners during the Ethiopian New Year. If the bill becomes law, the president will lose his power to pardon prisoners who faced charges ranging from homosexuality to terrorism.
Homosexuality is criminalized in many African countries.

This collection box was made by the Jewish furniture firm S Hille in 1924 for Louis and Ada Krendel, who lived in the London suburb of Brondesbury.
The box demonstrates the growing Zionism among Jews, many living in London's suburbs, following the Balfour Declaration of 1917. In 1920 Palestine was placed under British control and the number of Jewish people settling there increased.
The British government's support for a Jewish homeland in Palestine captured the imagination of British Jews. Membership of Zionist groups grew and collection boxes were found in many homes, particularly in the growing suburbs. Synagogues and other community organisations also became more Zionistic in their outlook.
For many Jews, support for Zionism was a natural extension of their religious beliefs. For others, Zionism offered a way to be Jewish without being religious.

Sony PS3 Hacker Gagged
from the how-dare-you-reinstate-what-sony-took-away dept
However, the judge is buying it, so far, and has issued Sony's requested temporary restraining order and told the guy behind the hack, George Hotz (Geohot) that he cannot do anything relating to circumventing the PS3s digital locks. He's not even allowed to link to other people talking about it. Seems a bit aggressive, but isn't all that surprising. Unfortunately, too many people still believe that simply jailbreaking a device is some horrible crime.
