World Energy Resources: Shale Gas – What's New
In mid-2010, the World Energy Council published a comprehensive report on shale gas. Given the slow pace of change and long lead-times typical to the energy sector, it is amazing to note how different the global outlook for shale gas is today compared to last year. A widely anticipated global gas market revolution has not […]

Mike Piazza has not set foot in Dodger Stadium since his retirement. When the Dodgers offered to honor him with a bobblehead night last season, Piazza declined.
"He doesn't want to come back because he thinks the fans will boo," former Dodgers Manager Tom Lasorda, the godfather to Piazza's brother, told The Times last month.
Piazza did himself no favors on that score in his new book, "Long Shot." In the book, he blames iconic Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully for turning fans against him during the contract stalemate that preceded his trade to the Florida Marlins in 1998.
Piazza, who was eligible for free agency after the 1998 season, said he hoped to stay with the Dodgers but set a deadline of Feb. 15 to reach a new contract. In the book, Piazza wrote that Scully asked him about the deadline in a spring interview.

Google hates the word fragmentation when it's used to refer to the Android ecosystem. They call it the "F-word". I've seen it used many ways, but generally when developers talk about Android being fragmented they are referring to the hundreds of devices that they have to support.
Some people would point to the fact that over 80% of devices run Android 2.x, so what's the problem? All you need to do is code your app to work with the different platform versions and display sizes and it should work, right?
Recent updates to the Android Market even allow developers to filter out devices based on screen sizes and densities (and soon GL texture compression formats). If a developer knows that a group of devices will not support their app, they should just be able to block those users from ever downloading it.
What sounds like a simple task to some is actually a huge problem for the big Android game developers. Just ask EA Mobile and Gameloft.
Developers might be able to filter out devices based on certain specifications, but they are still unable to target individual handsets.
For example, just look at some of the comments on any of EA Mobile's new games that just went on sale. You will find hundreds of complaints from upset customers who purchased a game only to find out it didn't work on their phone. You would think that a large developer like EA Mobile could have prevented these problems before they occurred, but they are still struggling with it.
To make matters worse, many of these people were unable to get their money back because of the new 15 minute refund window. Google raised the max size of apps to 50 MB, but most 3D games easily go over that limit so developers have to create their own distribution methods to deliver the extra data files. This process takes place after the point of purchase and that's a problem when it takes over 15 minutes to download the files needed to see if the game even works.
Gameloft is another big game developer that has struggled to support the massive number of Android devices. When they first tested the waters of the Android Market , they offered over 20 games. After experiencing all kinds of problems and user complaints, they have reduced that to a single title – Asphalt HD.
If game developers are removing their games from the Android Market and creating their own distribution channels (like Gameloft's online store), then there is clearly a problem. These developers are essentially saying that it's not worth the added support costs (and hit to their reputation) to offer their games in Google's Market. I've been very tough on Gameloft in the past, but I'm starting to see things from their point of view.
So what's the solution?

The third issue of Envision magazine will be officially launched on Feb. 16, 2012 from 12:30-3:30 p.m. in the Campus Center. Written and designed entirely by Andrews University students from a range of different departments, this collegiate lifestyle magazine includes a variety of articles, including testimonies from students Natasha Cruz, Vikram Panchal, and Tammi Lindsey.
"We also trace the hand of God as He brought Keren and Casey Graves together in holy matrimony," says Debbie Michel, editor-in-chief of Envision and associate professor of communication. "Plus we have money-saving tips such as how to plan a wedding on a tight budget, eat a healthy meal using 'dollar-store' ingredients, and on ways to cut your next textbook bill."
Envision magazine offers a unique opportunity for students from such a variety of classes as Advanced Studio Photography, Editorial Design, Digital Vector Graphics, and Marriage, Family and Interpersonal Relationship Skills to work together and create something for their community.
"It was very stimulating for us all," says David Sedlacek, professor of social work, whose Marriage, Family, and Interpersonal Relationship Skills class provided content for the magazine.
Working on the publication also gave students practical experience and opportunity to apply what they learn in the classroom. "The students had to deal with all of the joys and frustrations that come with putting together a magazine in a very limited time and on a very limited budget," says Diane Myers, assistant professor of graphic design, of her Editorial Design students' experience working on the layout and design for Envision. "Taking this on as a project has helped them to understand not only how to organize, design, and layout an entire magazine from scratch, but gave them actual skills they will be able to apply in their future careers."
Students who worked on the magazine found it an equally enriching experience. Tiffany Evering, who served as a fashion stylist for many of the photo shoots, says, "Working on Envision was an answer to a prayer for me. I love fashion and design, so this was an opportunity I did not expect and dearly appreciated."
A prolific writer for Envision, Lavern Ramdatt also found the experience very rewarding. "The stages my stories went through were endless but rewarding to my professional development and I am very thankful for the opportunity to be a part of this grand endeavor," she says. "I believe that the articles will bring encouragement and hope to the students as to their God-given purpose and callings."
Envision will be available on campus at the Gazebo and the Andrews Bookstore. Off-campus you can pick up a copy at Apple Valley or Harding's Friendly Market in Berrien Springs, Mich. An online format of the magazine as an app or a book is in development and will be available when the next issue is released sometime this spring/summer.
To learn more about Envision and how you can be involved in the next issue, contact Debbie Michel at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The first-ever Totsgiving™ (I'm hereby claiming it because page 1 of a recent google search has nothing but toys for tots, which seems to have nothing to do with potatoes, and my own related results) was simply epic.
I had the crazy realization afterwards that it was my first vegan Thanksgiving (or, as they're saying these days, Thanksliving) potluck where the omnivores, including my brother from New York, equaled the vegans in numbers. And I'll admit, the dinner was no where as disgusting as I feared!
We started with tots, incorporated tots into over half of the dishes, and ended with tot-crumbled dessert.
Without further adieu, I present the photo documentation from our very special Totsgiving™:
Let's start out by rolling out some seitan.
The recipe is Chef Brian P. McCarthy's and available on Everyday Dish. I incorporated pureed shallots, garlic and apple cider into the dough, and baked it, basting with beer, on both sides for 15 minutes at 400F.
Prepping the filling: sauteed shallots, chanterelles & cremini mushrooms in olive oil, white wine & tamari with lightly baked tots and steamed kale.
I bravely modeled my first roulade experiemnt after the inspiration of all inspirations on What the Hell Does a Vegan Eat Anyway?
After rolling (in retrospect, I would have rolled it the other way, but we were so focused on these pretty rows), it was tied, seated with fingerlings potatoes and carrots, baked at 425F for 30 minutes, flipping once, and frequently basted with Name Tag Lager from Trader Joe's.
My brother assembled our mom's Sweet Potato Pie Casserole (without any fuss!)
First course: a combination of baked Trader Joe's tator tots and Whole Foods tator puffs with cranberry-habañero BBQ sauce, Gabrielle-approved chanterelle & shallot gravy, white sage gravy and Earth Balance Mindful Mayo & Srichacha for dipping. The giant martini glass my sister sent me for christmas last year never fails to serve a purpose at my shindigs.
My brother and I based the cranberry habañero BBQ sauce on this recipe from Whole Foods, adding more fresh cranberries, subbing diced tomatoes for paste and adding a minced habañero for heat.
The contributions cometh. Chips & salsa left over from the pre-appetizer-we-should-have-some-type-of-food-while-not-eating-and-cooking course.
Ashly's Crumbled-Tator Tot Apple Pie
Melissa's Chorizo, Tot & Brocoli Strudel
Lucas' Tot-topped Shepherd's Pie
Pumpkin Pie from Sweetpea Baking Co.
Sweet Potato Pie Casserole (with extra pecans)
The pie aisle
This & that
Gravy row. The chanterelle & shallot gravy is based on the Sherried Leek and Wild Chanterelle gravy from PCC Natural Markets, with the substitution of minced shallots for leeks. As we all know, shallots are are undeniably fancier in gravy, not to mention seasonally appropriate here. The incredibly easy white sage gravy comes from Vegan Diner; I added a nice pinch of roasted garlic powder.
Bonus: crescent rolls, for sibling nostalgia's sake.
Why I bought cheesecloth (which I didn't use) and skipped on culinary string for the seitan is beyond me. Let's blame last minute holiday-shopping anxiety brush-off.
Our feast also included Sweetpea dinner rolls, a Portland tradition, Earth Balance, and Ricemellow Fluff, for those who like to desecrate sweet potatoes.
Family traditions, upheld: Sweet Potato Pie Casserole & Jeff's Three-Corn Casserole
It wouldn't be Thanksgiving (or a tator-tot studded variation) without over-indulgent, grateful food moans.
And legitimate Ocean Spray canned cranberry sauce, to boot.
Pie for breakfast for all!

Sharapova books Indian Wells final against Wozniacki
INDIAN WELLS, California (AFP) –
Maria Sharapova reached her first final of 2013 on Friday, beating Maria Kirilenko 6-4, 6-3 in a semi-final slugfest to set up a title showdown with Caroline Wozniacki at Indian Wells.
By reaching the final, Sharapova is projected to rise one spot to No. 2 in the world when the new rankings are announced on Monday.
"It's better than three, right?" said Sharapova, who was more focused on capturing a first title since her 2012 French Open victory gave her a career Grand Slam.
She is playing in only her third tournament of the year. After withdrawing from Brisbane with a right collarbone injury she reached the semi-finals at the Australian Open and Doha.
The Russian lifted the trophy in the California desert in 2006 and was runner-up last year to Victoria Azarenka.
But in Wozniacki, who outlasted fourth-seeded Angelique Kerber 2-6, 6-4, 7-5, she'll be up against an opponent with an equally strong Indian Wells resume: a title in 2011 and a runner-up finish in 2010.
"She's always a tough opponent," Sharapova said of Wozniacki. "She's a grinder. She makes you work really hard on the court and gets a lot of balls back."
Although Sharapova built a 3-1 lead in the opening set, she thought she could have started even stronger against the 15th-seeded Kirilenko, whose triumph at Pattaya City made her the only semi-finalist to have won a title this year.
"I felt like it could have been up 4-0," Sharapova said, adding that she wanted as much cushion as she could build against a player who had already beaten third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska and fifth-seeded Petra Kvitova en route to the semi-finals.
"She's had a few comebacks in this tournament and really good results," Sharapova said. "So, yeah, I stepped it up in the second set."
Five of Sharapova's six aces came in the second frame, and she didn't face a break point.
"She likes to play those long points," Sharapova said. "My job was to be a little more aggressive than usual."
Wozniacki turned the tables on Kerber, who had won their last three meetings, but she had to work two and a half hours to do it.
The match featured 14 breaks of serve — seven in the third set alone.
"I just took it as it came – I was trying to figure out a way to win," Wozniacki said. "It doesn't really matter how."

This means that providers can shape their programs to local demands while still meeting the requirements of the Standard.
IFPSM Worldwide Reach
National & International Associations
Individual Members
What our members say about the IFPSM
We joined IFPSM not only because we wanted to extract value from the organization but to expand our advocacy to further serve and support the procurement and supply chain professionals and industry around the world. Our active involvement allowed our association, Procurement and Supply Institute of Asia (PASIA) to be recognized not only in Asia but globally as well. This is a benefit that allowed us to benchmark how we deliver our value proposition to our members and partners so we can keep raising the bar.
In this day and age of borderless competition brought by globalisation, it is important for a national organisation such as ours (Philippine Institute of Supply Management or PISM) to be aligned with a global organisation that is able to unleash the power of global synergies. Such is the role of IFPSM, whom I consider as the umbrella organisation that binds different supply management entities around the world to act as one. IFPSM's strength lies in its ability to cut across cultural differences and rally us behind pressing issues towards uplifting the supply management profession.

Fabian Cancellara (Saxo Bank) may have abandoned this year's Tour of California on day 2, but he left his mark on the event by winning the opening time trial.
World champion in 2006 and 2007, Cancellara is widely regarded as the best time trialist in the sport and, until this year, used a Cervélo P3 to clock up a multitude of victories against the clock. But a change in bike partner for his Saxo Bank team also brings Specialized on board as a new sponsor and he'll now use their S-Works Transition bike in 2009.
Specialized intentionally made the Transition's shape exceedingly narrow to provide as little frontal area as possible, starting first with the 1"-diameter fork steerer and narrow-yet-deep tube profiles that push the limits of the UCI technical rules.
In keeping with that 'narrower is better' philosophy, Cancellara's Transition features unusually tucked-in profiles for both the chain stays and seat stays. Both closely follow the outer profile of the wheel from the rim inwards before abruptly kicking out to meet the dropouts. Specialized claims this shaping 'hides' the stays from the wind for reduced drag.
Cancellara's seatpost is offset to keep him well behind the bottom bracket and meet UCI guidelines
Like Cancellara's old P3, Specialized also fits the Transition with a close-fitting seat tube that terminates in a vertical post that eliminates the need for fore/aft adjustment if the saddle height is changed. In Cancellara's case, the seatpost head is substantially offset in order to meet UCI guidelines for setback.
Other major design elements include a raised top tube that is said to smooth airflow off the back of the stem, small 'speed gussets' behind the well-integrated fork crown that direct air coming through the fork crown and stiffen up the head tube area – at least in the eyes of the UCI as non-structural aerodynamic aids are not allowed.
In addition, the cables are internally routed and enter the frame in turbulent air behind the stem, the seatpost clamp is neatly tucked into the frame, and even the brakes have been redesigned with aerodynamics in mind. The rear brake is tucked behind the bottom bracket underneath the chain stays and both calipers use a proprietary Transition-specific design that is said to both reduce drag and increase stopping power.
The rear brake is tucked behind the bottom bracket underneath the chain stays
"The front brake is mounted on studs on the fork," said Specialized's Nic Sims. "A lot of the time, brakes mount through the centre of the crown, which means you get a little bit of flex in them. And especially with time trial bikes, the brake levers don't have the power you would normally expect. So mounting a brake on studs really stiffens it, making it a really good braking setup.
"The front brakes don't stick out any further than the fork blades, so there is one profile all the way down the bike," he continued. "At the back, the brakes are mounted down by the bottom bracket. The air down there is already dirty because of the cranks moving and stuff like that, so that is the place to put it, it is already out of the way."
In keeping with Specialized's premium consumer models, Saxo Bank team bikes are also fitted with S-Works carbon cranks secured within an oversized shell and integrated bearings. According to Sims, the setup maximises the lateral stiffness of the bike and thus makes the most of the power going into the rear wheel. S-Works shoes and Speedplay Zero pedals complete the ensemble that channels Cancellara's substantial power into the drivetrain, which itself is made up mainly of Shimano Dura-Ace parts.
The Zipp 9000 disc wheel
Cancellara's bike was finished off with a variety of other parts, including a Prologo saddle, a rear Zipp disk and front Zipp 808 deep-section carbon wheel, Specialized-branded tyres – likely made by someone else as they bear neither the slick tread or dual radius of the consumer version – and a Tacx bottle cage. FSA provides much of the front end, which includes a Vision semi-integrated carbon aero bar with S-bend extensions and narrowly spaced pads, Vision aluminium brake levers, and a Vision stem.
Cancellara will have another shot at victory coming up at Tirreno-Adriatico from March 11 to 17. A recent shoulder injury sustained while riding at home in Switzerland puts his form in question but we still anticipate that the big Swiss rider will still have plenty of power to spare.

Hey guys, Reallyfat Trollion here.
First of, GRATZ on the new forum!
So anyway, I was thinking that we could have an Official Ranger Outfit thread. Like, maybe this could be pinned, and we could post all our ideas here.
So, only a few rules:
Don't plagiarize, be original, name the pieces, don't post stuff that's already been posted, and give the average level required to wear the outfit. If there are armor/class requirements, name those too.
So without further ado, here's my first piece!
Ranger of the Night.
Head: Nothing; Hood from the Cloak.
Shoulders: Quilted Shoulderpads, dyed Black: available at the Bree Weapons and Armor Shop Light Armorsmith, Turner Thistleleaf.
Back: Plain Hooded Cloak, dyed Black: available at any Outfitter.
Chest: Padded Jacket, dyed Black: available at the Bree Light Armorsmith, Boyden Fir.
Legs: Quilted Leggings, dyed Black:available at the Bree Light Armorsmith, Boyden Fir.
Gloves: [i]Barrow-scout's Gauntlets, dyed Umber, available at any Skirmish:Classic vendor under Great Barrow armor.
Boots: [i]Barrow-scout's Boots, dyed Umber, available at any Skirmish:Classic vendor under Great Barrow armor.
This is an incredibly easy piece to pull off, except perhaps the boots and gloves. And when you reach level 20, they are an absolute BREEZE to get.
This is pull-offable by any character level 20+ .There are no class requirements, but you need to be able to wear medium armor. This is low-leveled, so not VERY good, but it gives the basic Ranger feel to you. And, might I say, it looks pretty official!
So that's the first of the Ranger Outfits by me, and hopefully there'll be more to come from you.
So see you around folks!
PS: Could someone Pin this so we don't have to hunt through the pages? It is a rather important category after all...

Almost every personal computer I've owned throughout the years has included "function
keys" on the keyboard. According to Wikipedia:
"A function
key is a key on a computer or terminal keyboard which
can be programmed so as to cause an operating system command interpreter or application
program to perform certain actions."
From my Commodore 64 and Amiga's, every desktop and every laptop I've owned there
have been the familiar site of that row of keys. Even my MacBook has them, although
they try to hide but…. The function key has always been there through the history
of the PC.
Smartphones and their on screen keyboard have made us very familiar with a reduced
selection of keys. Windows 8 makes touch devices with no physical keyboard attached
are enabled for typing through an on screen keyboard which has a reduced number of
keys and modes that you can switch between to access additional characters, such as
numbers. Missing from the on screen keyboards are the function keys.
One of the most talked about elements of the recent Microsoft Surface unveiling has
been the keyboard cover, providing a physical keyboard for the tablets. If you look
closely at the top row of keys… you'll see something different from the majority of
keyboards attached to PC's today…
Those familiar F1-F12 function keys are gone, replaced by keys for volume, search,
and web.
Is this the end of the function key? As developer write Windows 8 applications, they
can no longer rely on the existence of the "F-Keys" for user interactions. Will other
keyboards follow along? Do we care? What will be the next key to go? Will the Post-PC
era also be the Post-F-Key era?
[Parting side note: Second to only the "Not enough memory to eject disk"error on early
Mac's, by favorite BIOS boot error of all time is "No keyboard detected: Press F1
to continue"]

How To Make Whipped Cream from a Can of Coconut Milk
If you love having something whipped and creamy with your summer cobbler or fruit pie but are avoiding dairy, then I have a sweet little trick for you. Did you know that you can make luscious whipped cream from a can of coconut milk? Here's how!
This trick is simple: Chill a can of coconut milk, then scoop out the coconut fat that separates out and solidifies (leaving the watery liquid behind), and whip it just like whipped cream.
I first spotted this technique at Nutty Kitchen — see the post at the link below — and I just had to try it for myself!
• See full post: Coconut Whipped Cream at Nutty Kitchen
I found that this works really brilliantly; the cold cream whips up into thick yet airy whipped cream. It does taste strongly of coconut, however, as you might expect. So if you do not like the flavor of coconut, this is not for you. But if you want something creamy and non-dairy to go with a summer dessert, then this is a fantastic option. The coconut cream is naturally a little sweet, so you can leave it unsweetened. Or you can add a touch of vanilla and sugar to make it a little sweeter — up to you!
What You Need
One 15-ounce can full-fat coconut milk
1 tablespoon sugar or more to taste (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla or more to taste (optional)
Large bowl
Hand beaters or a stand mixer
1. Place the can of coconut milk in the refrigerator and leave it there until well-chilled; I left mine in overnight.
2. Open the can of coconut milk. There will be a firm, waxy layer on top.
3. Scoop out this firm layer coconut cream that has solidified at the top of the can.
4. Stop as soon as you reach the water at the bottom of the can; don't include anything but the solid cream. (You can use the water in smoothies, or just drink it straight.)
5. Place this cream in the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large bowl.
6. Turn your mixer or hand beaters to high speed, and whip the coconut cream for 3 to 5 minutes.
7. Whip until it becomes fluffy and light, with soft peaks. Mix in sugar or vanilla, if using.
8. Serve with fresh fruit, pie, or cobbler.
Additional Notes:
• I found that this lasted well in the refrigerator for several days.

2001 Home Run Derby preview
SAFECO Field
July 9
More HR Derby Info >>
Gone-Zo: Dethrones Sosa
2001 Rules and Format
Past HR Derby results
An American League slugger has won eight of the 10 Home Run Derbys since the three-round, 10-out format was adopted in 1991, but that trend may be reversed this year at SAFECO Field in Seattle as the National League sends a trio of slugging outfielders to the contest in search of back-to-back champions.
Defending Home Run Derby champion Sammy Sosa; Giants outfielder Barry Bonds, who with 39 home runs at the break is ahead of Mark McGwire's record pace en route to 70 in 1998; Arizona outfielder Luis Gonzalez, who is hot on Bonds' tail with 35 homers; and Rockies first baseman Todd Helton, who has hit 26 homers, will represent the NL in the Century 21 Home Run Derby, which is live now on ESPN.
Last year, Sosa ended Ken Griffey Jr.'s two-year reign as Home Run Derby champion at Turner Field in Atlanta. Sosa beat Griffey 9-2 in the finals and hit 26 overall, including a pair of 508-foot shots -- one to the 755 Club in the left-field upper deck and one that came to rest atop the second green batter's backdrop in straightaway center.
"It's something that you enjoy," Sosa said. "I'm a competitive guy. You always want to be prepared to be there. Last year was one of those years when I really, really made people happy and that brings me a lot of happiness. I'm going to go out there today, see what's going on and hopefully God will bless me again."
The American League counters with hometown hero Bret Boone, who with 22 home runs almost has reached his career high (24); former hometown hero Alex Rodriguez; Angels third baseman Troy Glaus, who led the Major Leagues with 47 home runs last season; and A's first baseman Jason Giambi, who will be making his first Home Run Derby appearance.
Boone, enjoying a breakout season in his return to the Mariners, made light of any home-field advantage.
"I win automatically because I know all the quirks," Boone said. "Actually, this thing for me is to try and not embarrass myself."
Alex Rodriguez will now participate in this year's Home Run Derby.
A-Rod, who left Seattle during the offseason for a 10-year, $252 million deal with the Rangers, knows he won't be a fan favorite in the city where he played for five-plus seasons.
"I'm going to do the best I can try not to let the boos bother me," he said.
With Boone feeling the hometown pressure and A-Rod battling a hostile crowd, do Glaus or Giambi stand a better chance of winning it for the AL?
"I think any of us is capable of winning it," Glaus said, "but I think my chances are as good as anyone's. I didn't bring my own pitcher with me, though."
"I doubt that I will win it," said Giambi, who is having another outstanding season (.322, 19 HRs, 60 RBIs). "I'm just going to go out there and have fun and enjoy every minute of it.
"Luis Gonzalez and Barry Bonds have that home run stroke going. It should be fun this year. I have competed in some of these (although he's never been in the All-Star Home Run Derby), and it's a lot different when they pull that (batting cage) away. The game changes all of a sudden."
Giants second baseman Jeff Kent, hardly and unbiased observer, says it's a no-brainer: Barry is the bomb.
"He brought in our batting practice pitcher, Porky Lopez," Kent said. "He's got the inside edge. Barry's prepared himself well for this. The home run contest is a no-brainer."
As for NL first-timers Helton and Gonzalez, well, they've set their sights a little lower.
"I'd like to hit one," Helton said. "If I can hit one, it'll be a success.
"If I get my swing right, I can hit a bunch. If I don't, I can make a fool out of myself."
"I remember in 1999," Gonzalez said, "sitting there watching Mark McGwire hit balls 590 feet. I just hope mine go 330 feet and go over the wall.
"I don't hit tape-measure shots. I hit line drives and squeakers that just clear the wall. As long as it goes over the fence, that's all that counts."
One thing in Gonzalez' favor is SAFECO Field, which will provide the left-handed batters -- Bonds, Gonzalez, Helton and Giambi -- with a distinct advantage. It is 327 feet down the right-field line compared to 331 down the left-field line, and 387 feet to the right-center power alley as compared to 390-feet to left center. Also, the deepest part of the park, a 405-foot nook in center field, is left of second base, giving a left-handed batter an advantage down the line, in the alley and to center field.
Bonds ('96) and Sosa are the only former champions participating, while Boone, Gonzalez, Helton, Glaus and Giambi are making their first Home Run Derby appearances. Although the AL has dominated the Home Run Derby titles over the last 10 years, the homer totals have been closer. The AL has hit more home runs in eight Derbys while the NL has led in seven, and the AL holds a 294-263 lead in home runs overall.
While Sosa is back to defend his title, Griffey, a three-time Derby champion ('94, '98, '99) missed most of the first half of the season due to a hamstring injury did not make the NL All-Star team. A player must make the All-Star Game to be eliglible to participate, so McGwire, the single-season home run king, also will not be in this year's contest. Regardless, there promises to be plenty of fireworks as there has been every year but one -- the 1988 contest in Cincinnati was rained out -- since the popular event began in 1985.
From 1985-90, the Home Run Derby was structured as a two-inning event with each player getting five outs per inning. Since 1991, eight players, four from each league, are chosen to participate in a three-round contest to determine the champion. Each player receives 10 outs per round to hit as many home runs as they can. The top four, regardless of league affilitation, advance to the second round. If a tie exists among players for advancement into Round Two, the player with the most regular-season home runs at the All-Star break advances. The second tie-breaker, if necessary, is distance of longest home run in Round One.
Home runs do not carry over from round to round, and in the second round the players are seeded 1-4.The No. 2 seed faces No. 3 and No. 1 faces No. 4, with the winners advancing to the Championship Round. If a tie exists among players for advancement into Championship Round the player with the most home runs in Round One advances. The second tie-breaker is most regular-season homers at the All-Star break and the third is distance of longest home run in either of the first two rounds.
If the two finalists hit the same number of home runs in The Championship Round, the Home Run Derby will go into "Home Run Derby Showdown." Each player gets one swing, and the first player to hit a home run when the other makes an out is the champion.

What You Should Know Before You Opt Out
Think Twice
If there's a way to afford it, many of us choose to take at least some time off to stay home with our babies and toddlers. That's great, and it's a shame there aren't better economic supports in place in the United States to make it easier for all parents who want to make that choice. A few months — even a few years — out of the job market is often not a big deal.
But as a divorce lawyer, I see lots of women — many with college and graduate degrees — who stopped working when their children were small and ended up not going back. They usually intended to, but then there was a second child, maybe a third, and their comfort level with life as a full-time mom grew at the same time as their professional skills receded into the past. Fifteen or 20 years down the road, they wake up and realize they are living in a state of complete financial dependence on their spouse. For a whole host of reasons, this is not a good position to be in.
Keep reading for six things to consider before leaving the workforce.
You Can't Count on Prince Charming
Fairy tales die hard. At some level, we might all want to believe we will be swept off our feet and taken care of forever. It's fine if it happens — enjoy the ride. But make sure you have a Plan B because you absolutely cannot count on happily ever after. In the real world, approximately half of all marriages end in divorce. And spouses, even young ones, can die. Or get sick. Or become disabled. Everyone knows their spouse should have life insurance, but the fact is that either divorce or disability is statistically far more likely during the child-raising years. Your ability to support yourself and your kids is your personal insurance policy against all of those scenarios none of us want to think about. A little sign hanging in my law partner's office says: "A Man is Not a Financial Plan." Wise words.
The Longer You Opt Out, the Harder It Is to Opt Back In
There's no magic formula, but the longer you're home raising kids full-time — or taking time off for any other reason — the harder it's likely to be to re-enter the marketplace. Even if you have a profession you practiced for years prior to stepping out of the workforce, certifications lapse, skills get rusty, contacts disappear and confidence erodes. The reality is that you cannot just pick up where you left off. You will need a period of retraining or you may have to take a position significantly below your previous level in order to build back your resume and refresh your skills. And in a job market like this one it's a hard sell to convince someone to hire you at all when the last time you worked in an office, the fax machine was the hot new technology.
You Might Get Divorced
The working-father-stay-at-home-mother scenario may start out fine, but your husband could come to think otherwise. If he wants to be divorced, divorce will eventually happen. And unless you have accumulated significant wealth during your marriage, you are going to take a serious financial hit. Even if your state's laws provide for alimony for some period of time, there's just no way to spread one income out over two households without both spouses' standard of living going down. And you will feel it most acutely because yours will go down more. The clients I represent who are in this position are often desperate and terrified. They feel they have no control over their lives. This is not what they signed up for, but they are powerless to stop it.
Here's where it gets even trickier: you might be the unhappy one in your marriage. You might even be physically or emotionally abused by your spouse. How do you navigate these difficult waters when any thinking you try to do about what would really be best for you and your children is completely intertwined with a sickening fear of not being able to pay the bills because your 20-year-old liberal arts degree is not going to qualify you to do anything that pays more than an hour? By contrast, women who can support themselves are able to weigh their options entirely differently. Are they still in love? Would it be better for their children, on balance, if they stay or go? They may be unhappy, but they feel they have choices.
Money Is Power
Opting out of the workforce can have non-economic consequences for your marriage as well. From where I sit, there is just no question that money is power, and the power dynamic in marriages where one person is financially dependent on the other is dramatically different from marriages where either spouse could pay their own rent if they had to. Time gets valued differently, and it's unavoidable. The breadwinner's schedule becomes the important one because he has to keep his job. The homemaker fills in around the edges; she's the helper.
So, why should he spend time doing laundry or cooking dinner for the family — activities, we would all agree, are good for our sons and daughters to witness — when she can do all those things while he's at work? And decisions about spending and saving often end up becoming his decisions, not mutual ones; after all, he's earning the money. Women who bring home a paycheck are far more likely to feel that their needs, their time, and their opinions are as important as their husbands'.
Work Can be Good for Your Mental Health
The jury is in on this one. A Pew study released a few months ago finds that at all income levels, stay-at-home moms report more sadness, anger and depression than their employed counterparts. Betty Friedan called it right 50 years ago in "The Feminine Mystique," when she took the radical position that American housewives were suffering from a malaise that would be cured by working outside the home. My own mother, a member of the Friedan generation who spent 18 years at home raising four children, told me that her "A-ha!" moment came when she realized she was excited about leaving the house for a dentist appointment. That was it, she said; time to get a job.
Even Part-time Work Can Keep You Opted-in
If working full time seems daunting in light of child-rearing responsibilities, think seriously about finding part-time work, the option preferred by both stay-at-home and full-time employed mothers surveyed in the Pew study. Even if you're just breaking even with the cost of child care, even if you're treading water in your professional life by working in a position or at a pace below your capability in life before kids, the difference it makes when you are ready to jump back into your career with both feet is huge. (Staying in touch with professional contacts while you're out is also important — even if it's just an occasional email or coffee.) As long as you're not losing money by working part-time when you consider child care costs, you can think of it an investment in yourandyour kids' future — an intangible, but massively important, rainy day fund.

After the tragedy in Newtown, we are all hurrying to choose sides and argue about gun control — as we do every time there's an horrific shooting incident ("Battle lines form in gun debate," Dec. 19).
Gun owners correctly cite the Second Amendment as guaranteeing everyone the right to own firearms, while opponents cite the victims' right to life that has been denied.
May I suggest that we examine our expectations concerning "rights?" It seems that we have come to expect that our Constitutional rights are both sacrosanct and limitless, with no responsibilities, checks or balances attached.
I once read that one's rights extend only to the boundaries of the rights of one's neighbor. If that is true, then the only world in which rights could be limitless would have a population of one.
If we cannot come to appreciate the limits and responsibilities the come along with our rights, we are surely doomed to a barbaric state in which Newtown-like incidents will become far too common to be newsworthy.

Different type of movie, haunting thriller type, only it's not that scary, and not that thrilling. Went to see Helen Mirren who is always good, this is a TV type movie, don't waste your money.
Worst movie ever!
If you like horror ...this is it
Interesting movie
so boring I went to sleep..
I visited that place twice and there was nothing scary. Lol
Movie was boring.
Oh wow, what a dud! I was really excited to see this movie because of the house itself and of course the talented Helen Mirren but other then the ridiculous cheap thrill scares of showing a ghost with of course loud music to accompany it, it was awful. If you're really wanting to see it then wait until a cheap Tuesday. What a colossal disappointment. :(
this is one of those movies if u want to get out and have supper and a movie.Not great by any stretch just a so so movie.

Despite muddy conditions, Chucks secure win
PUNXSUTAWNEY — In rainy, windy and soggy conditions Saturday at Jack LaMarca Stadium, the Punxsy boys' soccer team was able to maintain an upbeat tempo en route to a 5-0 win over the Elk County Catholic Crusaders.
The Chucks jumped on the Crusaders early when Brycen Lunger fired a shot at the net in the first minute of the game. Elk County's keeper came out to play the ball, but Punxsy's Tyler Presloid beat him to it and headed it just out of his reach, and the ball rolled into the cage giving Punxsy a very-early 1-0 lead.
Punxsy's high tempo led to plenty of scoring opportunities throughout the game, and Punxsy head coach Phil Shenkle was glad to see how well his team was moving the ball.
"My assistant and I were talking about how good their ball control was in conditions this bad," he said. "The field was a mess. Our ball control was just fantastic. Considering the conditions, I'm very pleased with our performance."
In the fourth minute, Punxsy's Ty Zimmerman just missed on two opportunities for the Chucks, and in the ninth minute, Presloid's free kick was pushed aside by the keeper.
In the next ten minutes, scoring attempts by Punxsy's Tanner Evans and Trevor Peace just missed as well, before Presloid added his second goal of the game in the 17th minute.
Presloid received a pass in the box, used some fancy footwork to avoid two defenders and snuck the shot under the diving keeper.
Elk County earned its first shot of the game in the 26th minute, but Punxsy keeper Dan Triponey was sharp and snagged the ball before any damage could be done.
The Crusaders' second shot came in the 30th minute after they kept the ball in Punxsy's zone for over three minutes, but Triponey was up to the challenge again and made the save to keep the shutout intact.
With less than a minute remaining in the first half, Punxsy managed to push its lead to three goals when a cross-field pass was deflected in front of the net, and Punxsy's Kevin Hughes beat two ECC defenders and the keeper to the ball to knock it home.
Despite leading by three goals, Punxsy came out firing in the second half, as well.
In the third minute, Presloid barely missed his third goal with a roller just wide of the left post, and in the eighth minute, Dane Roken made a nice pass to set up Hughes, who nearly scored again.
In the tenth minute, Lunger's long shot was deflected out of bounds to set up a Punxsy corner kick. Roken sent a near-perfect corner toward the goal, and Presloid almost connected for a header goal.
Presloid was swarming, and he finally scored his third in the 13th minute assisted by Peace.
One minute later, Peace nearly made it a five goal lead setting up a pair of ECC clears for Punxsy corner kicks.
On the second corner, Roken dropped instead of attacking the goal, and Lunger reversed field to Ryan Presloid, who drove the ball past the keeper for Punxsy's final goal in the 15th minute.
Punxsy's players erupted in excitement for Presloid, who is a defenseman and sees fewer scoring chances than most players on the team.
Shenkle noted that his defenders played well and contributed to the offense in Saturday's game, even though it may not show up on the stat sheet.
"They were doing a great job of clearing the ball out and pushing up," he said. "They provided pressure, and that allows the midfielders to score or at least apply some pressure of their own."
At that point, the officials decided that the rain was taking its toll on the field, and the game could no longer be played safely.
The game was then called, giving Punxsy the 5-0 victory and improving its record to 10-1 — its best start in the program's history.
"I know the other team's probably not happy the refs called it early," Shenkle said. "But we play them again in about a week-and-a-half, and we know they'll be ready and wanting that game badly."
Punxsy can't be looking ahead to that game yet, though, as the Chucks travel to DuBois Tuesday to take on the Beavers, who happen to be the only ones to hand Punxsy a loss this year.
Shenkle and his team look forward to seeing if they are up to the test this time around.

Refashioning a Classic
Fans of A Wrinkle in Time, Madeleine L'Engle's popular science fiction fantasy novel, will likely remember its trio of leading characters, Meg Murry, Calvin O'Keefe, and the precocious Charles Wallace; the mind-bending possibilities of the tesseract; and the children's dramatic final confrontation with IT.
2012 marks the 50th anniversary of the book's publication, and this epic story of good vs. evil continues to be widely read by children and adults. In fact, A Wrinkle in Time was recently made into a graphic novel by writer Margaret Ferguson and illustrator Hope Larson.
"It was definitely an important book for me. It's one of those books that I've gone back to again and again throughout my life." Larson said in an October interview.
With the novel's motifs of love, redemption, and sacrifice, many readers detect spiritual themes. L'Engle herself considered A Wrinkle in Time to be a Christian allegory, and the text borrows directly from the King James Bible in one of the novel's final scenes as Meg Murray prepares to face IT and rescue her brother Charles Wallace. Meg receives encouragement from another character, who tells her:
The foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called, but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. And the base things of the world, and the things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought that are. (I Corinthians 1:25-28)

Personal piggy? The Rigas indictment widens
NEW YORK (AP) Adelphia Communications Corporation founder John J. Rigas, his sons, and two other former executives were indicted Monday, September 23, for allegedly stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from the nation's sixth-largest cable television company.
The 24-count indictment, handed up in Manhattan federal court, charges the men with conspiracy, securities fraud, and wire fraud, and seeks $2.5 billion in forfeited assets for the alleged large-scale accounting fraud and corporate looting.
The court papers name Rigas; his sons, Timothy and Michael; James R. Brown, former vice president of finance; and Michael C. Mulcahey, former director of internal reporting.
The charges expand on a criminal complaint in July, adding new securities fraud charges and conspiracy charges stemming from allegedly false statements made in filings to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Federal authorities earlier accused the Rigases of making the company into their ``personal piggy bank.''
Rigas, the 77-year-old founder, and his sons were arrested on July 24 at their apartment on Manhattan's Upper East Side. An earlier criminal complaint charged them with fraud for allegedly hiding $2.3 billion in liabilities from investors.
The Rigases have been free on $10 million bail each, secured by cash, land and other property.
Rigas issued a statement Monday, September 23, insisting the transactions detailed in the indictment were perfectly legal.
"The corporate and personal reputation I have worked to build over the last 50 years has been irreparably damaged," Rigas said. "My family and I have always acted with integrity and honesty and are committed to restoring our credibility and that of Adelphia."
Lawyers for all five former executives have denied that their clients have committed any wrongdoing.
"Starting with nothing, John Rigas built a major American corporation which has now suffered serious damage through these accusations and charges," said his lawyer, Peter Fleming. "When the prosecution fails to prove its case, who will take responsibility?"
Adelphia, based in Coudersport, Pennsylvania, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection June 25. The Rigases stepped down from their board seats and executive posts at the company in May.
Federal prosecutors have accused the family of using $252 million in company money to pay margin calls, or demands for cash payments on loans for which they had put up Adelphia stock as collateral.
It also alleged that Adelphia employees regularly performed work for other companies owned by Rigas family members, and that the companies' bills were regularly paid out of Adelphia bank accounts. The federal complaint said the family's companies included the Buffalo Sabres pro hockey team, a furniture and interior design company, a car dealership and a number of partnerships.
John Rigas, who was the company's chief executive officer and president, and his sons also have been named as defendants in more than 40 civil lawsuits, including one the company filed the day of their arrests.
The company lawsuit, filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York, accuses the Rigases of conspiring to use company funds for their own benefit. The lawsuit alleged that off-the-books transactions and self-dealing by the Rigas family resulted in damages and loss in market capitalization of more than $1 billion, for which the company sought triple damages.
The company also obtained a temporary restraining order August 27 from U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert E. Gerber barring John Rigas or family members from selling any real estate until it could be determined whether Adelphia held part ownership.
Locals naturally wonder: how will this affect my cable service?
Adelphia spokesperson Lisa Carparelli has said that the events of July 24 "should have no impact on service, and Adelphia customers should expect the same high quality of uninterrupted service they're accustomed to."Read more on: adelphia

TURN BACK THE CLOCK – 1969 park
For the second straight week, the Allstate Sugar Bowl turns back the clock to preview a current game. Georgia and Arkansas will meet in Athens this weekend in a rematch of the 1969 Sugar Bowl. To be sure, as Southeastern Conference opponents, they have met multiple times since then, but the Sugar Bowl was the first meeting between the Bulldogs and Razorbacks. Undefeated Georgia, under legendary coach Vince Dooley, came into the game favored after leading the SEC in multiple categories, but one-loss Arkansas had an opportunistic defense which had forced over 30 turnovers during the year. In this case, the underdogs continued their defensive success, forcing six turnovers and holding the Dawgs to just two points, lifting their own legendary coach, Frank Broyles, to his first Sugar Bowl victory in three tries.

KTM's three-times Dakar winner Marc Coma of Spain on Friday sealed victory in the second edition of the Sealine Rally in Qatar, the second round of the 2013 World Cross Countries Rally Championship.
Marc Coma won the four-stage rally by the narrowest of margins, finishing just four seconds ahead of Portugal's Paolo Goncalves. The minor podium place went to KTM factory teammate Jakub 'Kuba' Przygonski of Poland and the third member of the KTM trio, Chaleco Lopez of Chile finished fourth. All three KTM riders were onboard the Dakar-winning KTM 450 Rally bike.The top four riders finished the rally after four very long stages within 4:29 minutes of each other underlining that this was a race of an entire different character. Run for the first time in 2012, the Sealine Rally, coming straight on the back of the more established Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge, was compacted from five to four days. But riders were on their bikes, trekking across the desert sand for around five hours a day in what was an all-out scramble for fastest. Going into the final stage, Coma was very aware that it was going to be a close finish. He started the day with a 2:04 minutes advantage over Goncalves. Then his Portuguese opponent lost some ground after a navigational error and Coma again had the advantage. Knowing the win was at stake, Coma decided to take the cautious approach with the navigation and Goncalves was back in contention behind him at the 190 km mark of the 275 km special. From then on it was a dash by both riders to the finish and they crossed the line in unison, with the victory going to Coma by just four seconds. Although he said it was very tough throughout the four days, Coma, making a return to racing after an injury problem that kept him out of the 2013 Dakar Rally was still happy at the close. "The long distance, the navigation, the weather – this race has really gone to a high level. I lost some time in some loose sand after the passage control, but I saw Paulo after about 190 km and it was exciting all the way to the finish," he told reporters at the end of the race.Coma's slim victory here means he retains the title in 2013. Together with his win in the Desert Challenge, it lays the foundation for another solid attack on the 2013 World Championship title.Results Sealine Rally 20131.

Timothy studied beauty in the works of C.S. Lewis under theologian Alister McGrath. The author of five books, including Veneer: Living Deeply in a Surface Society (Zondervan), Timothy is currently finishing The Life-Changing Adventure of Chasing Beauty (Eerdmans, 2019), preparing his doctoral thesis for publication, and trying to find a publisher for his first novel The Tempest and the Bloom.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AbbieAbigail from Comfortable, pretty, great fit I bought these shorts to wear to CrossFit and I wasn't disappointed. We CrossFit ladies can have a hard time finding workout clothes that fit right, can handle crazy workouts - and show off our fabulous butts. These shorts fit the bill. They fit like a glove, but allow for movement. I did a hard workout on a hot day that involved a lot of squats and jumps and heavy lifting. The shorts stayed put, didn't ride up, I didn't have to constantly readjust them and they kept my skin cool and dry. In addition, the pink detailing on the bum is very flattering. I got a lot of compliments. I also ordered a pair of capri pants in the same style. Would definitely buy the shorts in other colors. CrossFit tested and approved! :) AND they are made in the USA!

Hello board-members,
I combined several nice videos from my last drift season with my E500; so if you would like to take place on the passenger seat for 5 minutes, you are welcome. I hope you enjoy it.
The story behind the video:
This is my first posting here and I think I should introduce myself a bit. I am quite sure that you recognized up to here that english is not my mother language, it is german and there I live. My first cars were all from Opel / GM and I really enjoied them but after several years on racetracks with an Opel Speedster (Vauxhall VX) I had to see, that this car with its 280 HP drove faster than I could think and in case of an accident, it would not protect me at all. Additionally, my hobby changed from race track or slalom to drifting and the Speedy is not that good for drifting because the traction is too good and the hole car is a littel to fragile for usually uneven drift tracks. So I searched a new fun toy and remembered my 6 months of practical semester at Mercedes Benz (Plant Sindelfingen) where the A124 were built during the time (1996) when I was there. Even if the W124 was not built anymore, the E500 was a legend at that time for the workers and I liked it to. So I searched one and found one, really nerby and really cheap but I was not sure about the LSD: has it one from stock ? Has quafie one ? Or ? Or ? Or ?
That was the big moment from this board !
Here I found a link to youtube with a nice vid from a drifting W140 and W124 what made me clear: If others can do this, I can do it as well. The next weekend, the E500 (big bertha) was bought, got repaired, welded and so on during the next months and legalized for street use, an ASR kill switch was implemented and an LSD, too.
Since then, we both have lots of fun on tracks in europe, even if the LSD is no more functioning and the engine does not want to turn more than 4500rpm since about 3 months but all this does not matter because the winter starts now and I can fix all that.
