Point aids Black's cause
Interim manager Eric Black picked up his second away point in four days to enhance his chances of being invited to succeed Steve Kean as Blackburn manager.
Rovers played out a goalless draw at fellow promotion hopefuls Nottingham Forest in a match short on goalmouth action. While 49-year-old Black revealed he is yet to officially apply for the Rovers vacancy he has been told he will be in charge for Saturday's visit of Wolves.
However, Black said: "The important thing at the moment is what happens to Blackburn Rovers because no matter who is manager, the club will be here in 10, 20 or 30 years time. The club have explained everything to me and I fully understand that there is a lot of interest in what is an exceptional job. There will be a lot of candidates for it."
He added: "I have not applied for the job yet but I have enjoyed taking it on - it's been fine. I've been told that I will be in charge on Saturday. We've had two games in quick succession and it's been a case of going from one game to another. We had a new system tonight and the players deserve a lot of credit for that.
"We've conceded a lot of goals this season and we tried to do something about it. At the end of the night it was a very hard-working defensive performance even though it wasn't as exciting as it could have been."
After a promising Blackburn start, Forest dominated much of the game but with regular strikers Dexter Blackstock and Simon Cox both suspended they lacked a cutting edge.
Even so Rovers' goalkeeper Paul Robinson had to make an excellent second-half save from Henri Lansbury on his full debut for Forest while Billy Sharp shot into the side-netting from an Andy Reid cross. The nearest Blackburn came to a goal was when record signing Jordan Rhodes appeared to be tripped in the box by Chris Cohen.
"It's all about principles for us at the moment. If we get them right, then results will follow," Forest boss Sean O'Driscoll said. "We try and take the result out of the equation and concentrate on doing the right things because if you do that other things will follow.
"You cannot govern results so it's pointless being disappointed by anything. We just move onto the next game and keep working with the players.
"The performance was a notch above Sunday's against Derby. We manipulated the ball better tonight and now we have to maintain that against Peterborough at the weekend."

Equality and Diversity Policy: Appendix 4
Performance management and staff with a disability
Staff with disabilities should be appraised on the basis of their performance in the job in the same way as other staff. Line managers should guard against making assumptions about the capabilities or potential of staff with disabilities. In particular they should not assume that a person with a disability, taking into account any adjustments which could be made, will be unable to make as effective a contribution as someone without a disability, or that they will be less interested in personal development.
Setting objectives
Line managers should take into account the effects of an individual's disability when agreeing objectives. For example, it might be a reasonable adjustment to allow someone slightly longer to complete a task than might otherwise be the case.
Interim reviews
Line managers should be aware that if the condition of a person with a disability is not stable, there may be a need for frequent review and revision of objectives. There are a variety of reasons why performance standards may not have been achieved. Line managers should be aware that a change in performance may be due to an existing or newly developed disability and ascertain whether this is the case through sensitive questions during the review meeting. (Advice may be sought from Human Resources) When staff return from a period of extended absence, objectives should be adjusted to allow them to readjust to their working environment.
Overall assessments
Line managers need to exercise judgement in taking account of external factors which are outside the individual's control. These would include making a reasonable adjustment to take account of the impact of a disability in terms of the individual meeting the objectives and demonstrating the competencies required for a particular post.
For issues in connection with attendance see Appendix 2.

What To Expect When You're Expecting Prenda Law To Get A Judicial Beat Down
from the a-scorecard-for-those-playing-along deptEarlier today we had a post about Judge Otis Wright ordering nearly everyone associated with copyright trolling operation Prenda Law to be in his courtroom on Monday. We made the rather obvious understatement that it appeared Wright was not happy with Prenda or what he had seen happening in the various Prenda cases he is presiding over. If you're just picking up the story now, you may have missed some of the backstory behind all of this, but, no worries, Ken White at Popehat (a former federal prosecutor and long term litigator) has put together a post that lays out, in great detail (and in an easy to understand format for non-lawyers) both exactly how we got here and "what to expect." It's worth a read.
It actually leaves out some of the history and details that suggest Prenda/John Steele/others have been acting with something less than good faith. As we've discussed in the past, it often feels like Prenda Law is using an any means necessary approach to getting access to people's identities, often piling questionable legal trick upon questionable legal trick to create a multi-layer operation of questionable activity, all designed to get identities to then start hounding those people for "settlements." Even leaving aside many of those tricks, many of which don't touch on this particular case, Prenda's actions in this case alone are quite incredible. And as White makes clear, each move by Prenda lawyer Brett Gibbs seemed to only draw more attention from Judge Wright. This started early on, when Gibbs sought sanctions against the opposing lawyer, Morgan Pietz, which the judge quickly denied. As White points out: "It's a bad sign when the judge denies your motion summarily before the other side can even oppose it."
Throughout our coverage of this case, we've repeatedly pointed out that Gibbs could have just put most of the questions to rest by identifying Alan Cooper. But his continual tap dancing around the simple question "who is Alan Cooper?" has been pretty damning. Responding: "I am sure there are hundreds of Alan Coopers in this world," really seemed to make clear that something fishy was going on here. Personally, I was wondering if there was some reasonable legal strategy that I was completely unaware of, that would explain the failure to answer the Alan Cooper question, and White points out that everyone's general suspicions are correct: it makes no sense unless there is no such Alan Cooper:
I've been a lawyer for almost 19 years now. I've practiced in federal court that entire time. Here's what's very strange to me about Gibbs' opposition to the ex parte application, and about Gibbs' sanctions motion: they conspicuously avoid direct engagement with the most incendiary accusations Pietz makes. It's one thing to argue that Pietz' evidence is insufficient, or that other courts have failed to act based on them. It's quite another to evade the question of who "Alan Cooper" really is. I find it very difficult to imagine a scenario in which an experienced litigator would have a good reason to avoid confronting such a serious charge of fraud head on by saying, for instance, "the Alan Cooper who is a principal in Ingenuity 13 LLC is a real person who is resident of the State of X, living at Y, and has no relation to the Alan Cooper who has made scurrilous allegations against Prenda Law. Here is a declaration from the Alan Cooper who is a principal of Ingenuity 13 LLC, and here are reasons why the other Alan Cooper has a grudge against Prenda Law and is lying." It is very difficult to imagine an innocent scenario explaining why Prenda Law would not offer such a response if it could.So, what to expect? White lists out four possibilities, with a focus on the last two as being the most likely:
3. Some of the individuals named could assert that exigent circumstances or medical conditions prevent them from attending, or could ask for an extension to allow them to retain counsel and get their new counsel of up to speed.I've been wondering if Judge Wright would grant an extension, given the extremely short notice on all of this. Normally such an extension would be pretty normal, and lawyers and judges often bend over backwards to try to accommodate things like that. But given that it appears Wright is clearly deeply concerned about the possibility that Prenda is committing fraud on the court, I wonder if he'll be a little less lenient than might otherwise be normal.
4. Some of the individuals named could show up and answer Judge Wright's questions.
Oh, and for those wondering if this could end in jail time for everyone showing up in court, White is a little more skeptical there, but suggests it is entirely possible that it leads to a criminal case, which could result in jail time:
Judge Wright could certainly issue monetary sanctions against, at a minimum, Mr. Gibbs. The question of what other attorneys he could sanction under Rule 11 and his own inherent authority depends on a tedious discussion too long for this post; suffice it to say that he might conclude that he can sanction supervisory attorneys with Prenda Law.In the meantime, I'm curious if anyone can pinpoint the moment at which John Steele/Prenda Law surpassed Righthaven in the Hall of Fame for the Spectacular Self-Destruction of Copyright Trolls.
Judge Wright's terrifying comment aside, his ability to jail people before him for contempt is quite limited when they have not been charged with a crime by the executive. That, too, is a discussion too complex for this post. But Judge Wright might well refer the case to the U.S. Attorney's Office for criminal prosecution if he concludes that criminal contempt or fraud has occurred. Such referrals tend to get immediate and intense attention. Moreover, if Judge Wright finds misconduct, he could refer the matter to various state bars.

Sunday, 28 April 2013 06:20 PM
The company's stock had climbed 22 percent since the start of the year as the maker of Tide detergent and Crest toothpaste turned in better profits for two quarters in a row. Last Thursday, P&G reported even higher earnings. And its stock immediately dropped 6 percent.
What happened? Like so many other big companies reporting results recently, P&G hit its target for earnings but missed on revenue. Nearly halfway through the first-quarter earnings season, Corporate America is still reporting solid profits, with seven of every ten big companies hurdling over Wall Street's expectations. Sales, however, are another story.
Nearly the same proportion of big companies — six out of ten — have fallen short of revenue targets, according to S&P Capital IQ. The tally so far looks grim: Revenue has shrunk 2.4 percent compared with last year.
"The norm is becoming, beat your earnings, but miss on revenue," says Scott Freeze, president of Street One Financial.
Two problems persist: Europe's ongoing recession and slower economic growth in China. Because nearly half of revenue for Standard & Poor's 500 companies comes from abroad, it would seem logical to think the problem is just overseas. But many companies with a U.S. focus have also reported disappointing revenue.
Freeze says that revenue presents a more accurate picture of Corporate America's health. "You can play with the earnings numbers and have them skewed," he says. "But you can't mess with the revenue numbers — they are what they are. If people are not coming in droves to buy your products, your revenue's going to miss even if your earnings beat."
Aside from Apple's falling profit and some other high-profile flops, the headline numbers for first-quarter earnings appear solid. So far, 271 companies in the S&P 500 have said earnings are up 5 percent over the year before. And 189 of them have cleared Wall Street's estimates.
Investors say that's no surprise. They believe companies set the bar so low that it's easy to jump over it. The 3.6 percent earnings growth analysts expect to see after all the results are tallied works out to $26.36. That's just $1 more than the same period last year.
As one company after another turned in weak revenue results last week, analysts, investors and economists started raising concerns about the prospect for future profits.
Some of the biggest names in Corporate America have disappointed, including Google, JP Morgan Chase and IBM, which posted its first drop in revenue in three years. In the past week, AT&T, Xerox and Safeway joined their ranks.
Of the 22 corporate giants in the Dow Jones industrial average that have reported results, 15 have missed their revenue targets, according to the data provider FactSet.
If the trend continues, experts see a number of consequences:
— Earnings estimates for the coming months will have to come down. Revenues drive profits. And if revenues start to sag, it's going to be difficult for companies in the S&P 500 to have average earnings growth of 8 percent for the rest of the year, which is what analysts currently expect.
— To maintain their profit margins, companies will look for ways to trim expenses even more. That often means cutting jobs or scaling back spending. Earlier this month, for instance, Caterpillar announced plans to lay off workers in Milwaukee, Decatur, Ill. and Brussels. The reason? Sales of Caterpillar's large trucks and bulldozers had slumped.
— If either earnings estimates come down or layoffs pick up, it could easily upend the stock market's four-year surge.
To be sure, many of the companies missing their revenue targets are grappling with their own unique problems, says John Butters, senior earnings analyst at FactSet. AT&T reported that fewer people signed up for phone plans. Boeing delivered just one 787 before the planes were grounded in January because of overheating batteries.
But the recurring theme is weak demand, says Tom Porcelli, chief U.S. economist at RBC Capital Markets. Businesses and individuals just aren't spending enough to push sales up quarter after quarter.
"The economic backdrop remains sluggish," he says. "It's really as simple as that."
In the U.S., recent reports showing sagging retail sales and a slump in business orders for big-ticket items have raised concerns about a slowdown. But it's a worldwide trend, Porcelli says.
Economists like Porcelli check surveys to see if manufacturers around the world are ramping up or slowing down production. As of last week, fewer than a fifth of the 34 developed countries reported more activity, down from a third at the start of the year. Back in 2011, three-quarters of these countries said production was picking up.
To keep profits rising, companies have been cutting costs to compensate for tepid sales. They have delayed plans to replace equipment, laid off workers and been slow to hire them back when things look better. In short, Corporate America and the people they employ are top notch at doing more with less.
During earnings calls this month, five of the country's biggest banks revealed that they have slashed more than 31,000 jobs over the past year. That's 3.5 percent of their combined workforce. JPMorgan plans to lay off even more, aiming to cut nearly 7 percent of its employees over the next two years.
It's a "perfectly sensible reaction" when sales results prove disappointing, Porcelli says.
The problem is that cost-cutting has its limits. U.S. companies already run more efficiently than they once did. They squeeze 9 cents of profit out of every dollar of revenue, compared with an average closer to 7 cents since 1979, according to Goldman Sachs research. Analysts expect this profit margin to reach 9.8 cents next year.
Jeffrey Kleintop, the chief market strategist at LPL Financial, is skeptical that companies will be able to shed enough expenses to hit their earnings targets. "When there's no more fat to cut," he says, "you start to cut muscle, and then you're cutting bone."
In a strong economy, a single company can support its profits through payroll cuts. It's another story entirely when, in a choppy economy, scores of big companies decide to make the same move. Even delaying hiring plans can backfire.
"It's a conundrum," Kleintop says. "Businesses say they're not going to hire until they see better growth, but there's not going to be better growth until there's more income and hiring."
After all, one company's employee is another company's customer.

The Mazda MAZDA5 is a compact minivan that the brand introduced in 2006. Compact minivans have a long history in Japan and Europe where high gas prices and limited space for parking make their diminutive stature a huge asset.
Many import automakers tried their luck at plying compact minivans on the U.S. market back in the 1990s. However, at the time, American drivers were still enamored with full-size minivans and just beginning their love affair with the SUV. Yet rising fuel prices have led many American drivers to ditch their gas-guzzling sport utilities, and Mazda has decided to take another run at the U.S. auto-buying public with the MAZDA5, a compact vehicle that truly puts the ""mini"" back in minivan.
The MAZDA5 is a compact minivan that, despite its small size, accommodates up to six passengers. The MAZDA5's compact size also helps ensure that the vehicle gets excellent fuel economy while facilitating handling capabilities that surpass those associated with conventional full-size minivans. In addition to excellent gas mileage, good handling, and a surprising amount of interior space, the MAZDA5 has the sporty look that one associates with a Mazda, and it is relatively affordable.
The MAZDA5 returned to production in 2012 after a one-year hiatus. Time off seems to have done the 5 well, with Mazda having completely redesigned the model for 2012. At a glance, the new Mazda offers several key improvements over previous years' models. For starters it's more powerful, offers more comfortable seating, and has sleeker styling.
The 2012 MAZDA5 comes in three trim levels: Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring. The entry-level Sport model comes equipped with 16-inch alloy wheels, power accessories, keyless entry, cruise control, automatic climate control, a height-adjustable driver's seat, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, and a sound system that boasts six speakers, a CD player, and an auxiliary audio jack.
Stepping up to the Touring model adds 17-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a trip computer, Bluetooth capability, and a rear spoiler. Opting for the Touring edition also allows for the option of the Moonroof & Audio package that includes a sunroof, satellite radio, and a six-CD changer. The line-topping Grand Touring model includes all of these features along with automatic xenon headlamps, heated mirrors, automatic wipers, driver lumbar adjustment, heated front seats, and leather-upholstered seats. Additional extra options include remote ignition, a DVD entertainment system, an iPod interface, and a portable navigation system by Garmin.
All versions of the 2012 MAZDA5 contain the same 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. Rated at 157 horsepower and capable of producing 163 lb-ft of torque, the MAZDA5's four-cylinder mates to a six-speed manual transmission that comes standard on the Sport model. Choosing the Sport model also allows buyers the option of a five-speed automatic that comes standard on both the Touring and Grand Touring versions. EPA-estimated fuel economy with either transmission is 21/28 mpg city/highway.
Standard safety features across the line for the MAZDA5 include stability control, traction control, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with brake assist, front side airbags, and side curtain airbags.
While the MAZDA5 does offer less interior space than a standard minivan, the compact model certainly makes the most of what it's got. Second row seating consists of captain's chairs that slide and recline, while the passenger-side seat boasts a pop-up center table and storage space that can be placed between the chairs or stowed in order to create a walk-through to the third row of seating. The 5's sliding rear door makes it easy to access all rows of seating, which is great for piling the kids in and out.
The MAZDA5's dash is practically laid out but sleekly styled with controls that are easy to reach and use. Front seats offer comfort, but may lack the desired amount of knee-room for taller occupants.
The first generation of the MAZDA5 was issued in 2006 and continued to be produced until 2010. Like the current model, first-generation versions of the MAZDA5 offered seating for six while leaving a relatively small footprint. First-generation models of the MAZDA5 house 2.3-liter inline-four engines that produce 153 horsepower. Transmission options consist of either a four-speed or five-speed automatic. Mazda also offers a five-speed manual transmission for lower trim levels.
Trim levels for the first generation of the MAZDA5 include the entry-level Sport and the upmarket Touring.
The first generation of the MAZDA5 underwent a slight style refresh in 2008 when front and rear exterior modifications were made. At the same time Mazda added a new center control panel along with electroluminescent gauges. Stability control became standard on all versions of the Mazda MAZDA5 in 2010.
2015 Mazda MAZDA5
2014 Mazda MAZDA5
2013 Mazda MAZDA5
Still chugging along, the 2013 Mazda Mazda5 offers space, versatility, on the cheap(er)
2012 Mazda MAZDA5
The 2012 Mazda5 has been completely redesigned from the ground up, with much bolder styling. The addition of a small boost in power along with more comfortable seating mean the Mazda5 is now more prepared to challenge more expensive minivans and crossovers. Two seats in each of its three rows offer six seats as opposed to other minivans that offer seven or eight seats. The Mazda5 makes it simple to haul multiple passengers on occasion, yet still carry six passengers as easily as a crossover.
2010 Mazda MAZDA5
For 2010 the Mazda5 loses its body colored moldings and side turn signal repeaters. While the black bezels surrounding the headlights have been deleted, Liquid Silver has been added to the color palate. Dynamic stability control and traction control are now standard equipment throughout the lineup.
2009 Mazda MAZDA5
Somewhere in the life of the minivan, manufacturers forgot the word ?mini? before the ?van? and went all out to make something different.
2008 Mazda MAZDA5
2007 Mazda MAZDA5
The 2007 Mazda MAZDA5 classifies as a small minivan that comes in three trim levels: Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring.
2006 Mazda MAZDA5

Rosa Parks Statue Dedication "Powerful Moment," Obama Says
President Barack Obama says the dedication in the Capitol of a statue of civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks will be a "powerful moment."
Obama is to speak at next Wednesday's ceremony.
Parks' refusal in December 1955 to give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger led to a citywide bus boycott in Montgomery, Ala., and encouraged nationwide efforts to end segregation. Parks died in October 2005.
Obama said Thursday in a radio interview with Al Sharpton that the statue will put a seamstress who helped bring about a "more just America" in her rightful place among some of the titans of U.S. government.
Officials say the statue will be the first full-length one of an African-American woman in the Capitol.

- Enter tag numbers/letters either in the "Customization Instructions" box in the Shopping Cart or the "Comments" box on the Payment Options screen.

How do I order…
- Blank Tags—Enter package quantity of tags above and type "blank" in the Customization Instructions box in the shopping cart.
- Individual names, numbers or replacement tags—Specific animal names on each tag as well as individual numbers out of sequence can be done. But it takes much more machine time per tag so the cost per tag is $2.50/tag and please call Premier at 1-800-282-6631.
Note: You can also hand write numbers and letters on blank tags or supplemental data on already printed tags. Use our Marking Pens.
How to Use
Use the Q-flex, Pro or Allflex applicators to install the tags:
- The male and female tags will come to you slightly connected. You will need to tear them apart.
- Place the flag of the female tag under the metal spring finger. The printed side of the female tag will be against the jaw of the applicator. Slide the male tag over the metal pin. NOTE: Be sure to push it all the way onto the pin. The printed side of the male tag will be against the other jaw of the applicator.
- Make sure the tag is correctly placed. Slowly squeeze the handles together to be sure the male pin aligns with the female opening (be careful to not put the tag together yet).
- Place the ear between the jaws of the applicator. While gripping the ear, quickly and firmly squeeze the handles together until the male tag is inserted through the ear and into the female tag.
Tag placement is critical to success! Avoid the large veins in the ear. Why? Tissue around damaged veins heals slowly—so it's prone to infection.
Note: We will print both sides (male and female) unless otherwise specified.
Inserting Tags In Cold Weather
Plastic tags (all brands) are much easier to install if they are warm. Why? As the temperature drops below freezing plastic becomes less flexible (more stiff) and forcing the male point of a tag through the female takes many more lbs. of pressure (because the female must expand).
So if you care about your hands it's a good idea to keep the tags above freezing in very cold weather. It takes very little to do this. One method is to simply store them while tagging in a small bucket, cardboard box or tool box with a lid alongside a sealed pop bottle full of warm water. The warm water will keep both the air and the tags warmer in the container.
Listed below are recommended optional components or related items. Your particular situation may require alternative recommendations. Please call and talk to our consultants if there are any questions at 800-282-6631.

I LOVE these tags, great for my Shetland Sheep, they don't make their ears sag and don't hang out so far as to catch on everything. They are also perfect for market goat kids to give them a tag at birth so they form a nice tag hole for their county fair tags later on. (We had a huge issue with the county tags getting infected when placed in the ears in May-June but after having these little tags to put in first really makes a difference. These tags are small but you can still read them well and the color seems to last compared to the Qflex 1.5, Our Shetland sheep are registered with a non scrappie tag so these work great for them. My only draw back is the stem of these is not flexible like the other Q flex tags and the tip is just plastic. But over all it's a great little tag.
Marlene A from Nebraska
This is the first time I used the tags. They work great on the ears of baby goats. They are easy to see and don't make their ears droop out of shape.
Diane H from Wisconsin
Perfect size for our new born fainters. They go in easily and are easy to read. It was nice to find them in blue and pink so that we can see which are doelings and bucklings.
Larry & Sherry J from Alabama
Worked perfectly! Just the right size for my lambs and the printers filled the tags with the numbers just as I requested so they are easy to read.
Stephen B
These tags are perfect for new lambs. I have tried several types and these are the best. They go on snugly and I can get them in colors like blue and pink and custom numbered. It is the only way I can accurately track the lenage of each lamb.

She looks like my ex wifes best friend, Who one time said when she was over she was separated from her husband (a real dick) that she was the best at giving blow jobs. We three had a lot of wine and moved to margaritas after dinner. THe Linda started to rub on the outside of my pants,,My ex then said (after 2 margaritas. Lets have a contest and I would be the judge.. Frankly my ex was not good at it.. except now she was motivated,and took my cock out( I have 83/4 inches but when excited can reach a little over 9..but nice and thick.Elaine started to suck my cock.. and Linda said let me help you out and started licking my balls.. they pulled my pants down and both went at it. but Elaine could not take it all the way down only 1'2 way, Linda on the other hand took it all the way and started playing with herself under her skirt. I started playing with Elaine. Linda tood off her panties I was hard as a rock.. Linda then planted a kiss on Elaine and said she always wanted to kiss her. Elaine said she felt the same way.. They kissed as I removed Elaines panties and skirt and Linda manuvered to sit on my cock. Elaine and Linda kept Kissing intensely tongue and all. She unbuttoned Elaines blows and Elaine wore no bra and started sucking her breasts and Linda took off her blouse but really needed a bra she was 36D with huge nipples. I couldn't help it I started sucking on one of ther breasts too. Her nipples got so large they were like large grapes; Well we sucked and fucked all night and into the weekend,, Our kids were at summer camp. Linda didnt go home till monday AM.. but came back Wedesday.. One day on my birthday Linda came to my office and took me to lunch and fucked me and sucked me for an hour,, I told her to go to my house and have dinner with my wife and me.. She did and didn't go home till the AM.. We three have gone on cruises for a week and fucked and sucked all over the ship,, I did get a little jealous when Linda would come over in the day time and fuck Elaine, but always stayed to have fun wioth the three.. Our friends never found out, That went on for years until Elaine and I got divorced when she found out that on a business trip Linda et me there,, and fucked me for almost a week. I think after we split that Linda and Elaine became friends again and well you can figure it out.. Linda and I have always fucked and sucked and found many a lunch.. to this day,, I never did tell Elaine.. I don't think she has told her either,,

This was when the window was wide open for the Mets. They didn't have extraordinary starting pitching, but a deep bullpen was deep and the lineup was powerful.
There was a lot to like about the 2006 Mets, managed by Willie Randolph, who on this date ripped the Phillies in Philadelphia, 7-2, behind two homers from Carlos Delgado, one from Carlos Beltran and a workmanlike effort from John Maine.
Maine was acquired from Baltimore in the Kris Benson deal and showed glimpses of being a solid starter. Maine appeared on the verge of stardom the following year when he led the National League in wins at the break – but was an All-Star snub – and gave up one hit in a late September game against Florida that kept the Mets in the race.
However, arm problems and a tendency to more a thrower than a pitcher, derailed his career. Maine eventually clashed with manager Jerry Manuel and pitching coach Dan Warthen, and his Mets career was pulled after a five-pitch outing in Washington in his ninth start of the 2010 season.
Maine worked into the seventh this afternoon, before Randolph turned the game over to the bullpen.
First, the effective Chad Bradford, whom the Mets did not bring back in the offseason, then Pedro Feliciano, followed by Aaron Heilman and Billy Wagner.
The Mets' inability to keep their bullpen intact manifested itself in the dramatic late-season collapse the following year.
The bullpen has been an issue ever since.

How Beta Cells Go Bad in Diabetes
Robert Stanton, MD
Monday, December 28, 2009
Joslin scientists led by Principal Investigator Robert Stanton, M.D., have discovered that high blood glucose levels damage a key enzyme that guards insulin-producing beta cells. Their surprising finding raises hopes of finding drugs that protect the enzyme, and thus the beta cells and their insulin production.
Published online this month in The FASEB Journal, the discovery focuses on a cellular process known as "oxidative stress."
Cells in your body are constantly churning out poisonous forms of oxygen (oxidants) and mopping them up with a countervailing force of proteins and chemicals (antioxidants), Stanton explains. This balancing act of oxidative stress is particularly likely to go haywire in beta cells, which malfunction and then start to die off in people with diabetes.
Scientists in the Stanton lab previously showed that lowered activity of a relatively little-studied enzyme called G6PD, which is the main producer of an antioxidant called NAPDH, can inflict damage on several other types of cells.
While studying mice modified to produce less G6PD, and thus NAPDH, postdoctoral fellow Zhaoyun Zhang found herself wondering about the effects on the pancreas, which is where beta cells are found in structures called islets.
Not an expert on beta cells, she talked with Chong Wee Liew, a postdoctoral fellow studying beta cells in the neighboring lab of Principal Investigator Rohit Kulkarni, M.D., Ph.D. ("That's the advantage of working at Joslin," she remarks. "There are so many people you can talk to who have so much expertise.")
The two researchers looked at a pancreas from one of the experimental mice, with startling results. Its islets were tiny compared to those in normal animals—suggesting that the beta cells had been extensively damaged.
In follow-up research, Zhang and her colleagues showed that NAPDH can regulate the growth and death of beta cells. The Joslin team went on to demonstrate that increases in blood glucose levels cause a decrease in NAPDH that ends up killing beta cells—and that boosting production of this key antioxidant guards against the damage, at least in mouse beta cells.
"Preventing the death of beta cells or stimulating beta cells to grow is a Holy Grail in diabetes prevention," says Stanton. "Treatments aimed at increasing this essential antioxidant hold great promise for treating or preventing diabetes."

When someone in the family gets diagnosed with a chronic illness, relationships may change. You may be expected to act as a compassionate caregiver at all times, or you may no longer be able to do the activities you once loved doing together.
You may feel sad, scared, frustrated or angry. And then you may feel guilty about not being more sympathetic. Only one person may be infected, but everyone is affected. Dr. Phil looks at how you can cope and how to redefine relationships.
Terri suffers from a chronic illness. Her husband David is frustrated that she's sick all the time, and wants to know: Where does the disability end and laziness start?
Heather, who suffers from cystic fibrosis, desperately needs a lung transplant. She also needs her mom, a respiratory therapist, to let down her wall and be there for her.
Rosemary, a single mom, has battled breast cancer for two years. "I feel I don't know how to give Christian his childhood back," she says of her 10-year-old son who's become her caretaker.
View their stories and Dr. Phil's advice.


text: An aroused tranny may start off the night by jerking off her giant boner, but when she craves more than masturbation, watch her on her quest for the deepest anal penetration she can find. Watch the hottest shemales fondle their own big boobs in anticipation of their hungry partner starting some serious ass play on them; eagerly bending over to have their ass cheeks split and their assholes licked and probed. There dicks will grow at the stimulation, and they'll reach forward to stroke themselves while feeling the first finger slide deep inside them to start a prostate massage. Hear their moans of pleasure when they finally feel a huge cock stretch them open; plunging in hard and thrusting with enough energy to make them buck forward. These toned ladyboys get excited at the idea of fucking someone bareback, and they don't care if the ass they dive into as a man's or woman's, so see their tits bounce as they lie back on the bed and have a firm butt planted on top of them, riding them hard. These transsexuals have tons of wild ideas they want to perform, so if you're curious to see what they're up to next, watch their free movies anytime on spankwire.com.

|Project RevRadio
|In progress
|Last Update
This project consists of several small sub-projects related to radio reception at RevSpace. Reception is based (so far) on DVB-T dongles using an RTL2832 chip to do SDR (software-defined-radio).
HF (0 - 30 MHz)
To receive signals from the relatively low frequency "HF" band, we have a ham-it-up board. The ham-it-up converts signals from 0-30 MHz up to 125-155 MHz, this makes is possible to use an RTL2832-based dongle to receive them.
Things that can be received with this setup:
- morse and rtty beacons;
- amateur radio voice;
- amateur radio SSTV (slow-scan TV);
- number stations such as the buzzer;
- commercial AM broadcasts
- etc.
Stuff we
should can implement
- Put it in a box!
- Experiment with different (home made) antennas such as the mini whip
- Hooking it up to our main SDR computer. Requires antenna on the roof
Generic VHF/UHF (24 - 1700 MHz)
For generic radio reception in the VHF/UHF bands, we have a setup consisting of a discone antenna (ICOM AH-7000) on the roof of RevSpace and an RTL2832 dongle (R820T tuner). A simple filter (1/4 wave open stub) has been built to suppress very strong pager signals.
Things that can be received with this setup:
- Citizens Band radio, 27 MHz
- 10 meter amateur band, 28-29.7 MHz
- 4 meter amateur band, 70-70.5 MHz
- broadcast FM stereo, 88-108 MHz;
- air traffic (voice);
- P2000 paging traffic at 169.650 MHz;
- weather images from the NOAA-15/18/19 weather satellites, at around 137 MHz;
- APRS traffic;
- weather info from weather balloons, at 400-410 MHz;
- ads-b/mode-s airplane transponders, at 1090 MHz
- etc.
- Get rid of the massive broadcast FM band, it's worth the trade between doing FM DX and broadcast FM noise.
HAB tracker (434-435 MHz)
For tracking high-altitude balloons, we have a setup consisting of a Diamond X-50N antenna on the roof of RevSpace, a so-called hab-amp (bandpass filter for 430-440 MHz and low noise amplifier) and an RTL2832 dongle (FC0013 tuner). For more information, see the dedicated page at HAB_Tracker_Station
Things that can be received with this setup:
- The complete 70 cm amateur band, 430-440 MHz
- 70 cm ISM band, ~433 Mhz
- high-altitude balloons, see spacenear tracker
Currently one PC is dedicated to radio reception, called "habtracker". To start the PC:

Amateur satellite reception
In this upcoming project, we try to receive amateur satellites and process data like telemetry. There are several amateur satellites in orbit right now, some of which transmit in frequency range of our HAB setup.
We have already managed to receive (but not decode yet) signals from the STRaND-1 and HOPE-1 (HO-68) satellites.
In the future, we plan to receive and decode telemetry from the existing Delfi-C3 and its upcoming successor Delfi-n3xt (to be launched in November 2013).
Longer term plans
Stuff we are still planning to do:
wait for proper cables for the ham-it-up
- think about an antenna for HF

While you are at Knoll's ...
Enjoy these area attractions:
Great in season hunting and a new sporting clay course.
Lake McConaughy is 50 miles to the west. Enjoy the beautiful white sand beaches, swimming, boating, fishing and all water sports.
North Platte has four challenging golf courses -- 9-hole Indian Meadows, 18-hole Iron Eagle, 18-hole Lake Maloney and the 18-hole North River's Edge Golf Course course.
North Platte is the site of Col. Wm. F. (Buffalo Bill) Cody's Scouts Rest Ranch, where you can tour Cody's North Platte home and barn which were built in the 1880's.
Many artifacts from Cody's Wild West Show are on display as well as photos, gun collection, uniforms and much more.
Union Pacific Railroad's Bailey Yards, the largest classification yard in the world. It is a "must see" for the railroad buff, as is the "Challenger" locomotive at Cody Park, also in North Platte.
Hundreds of thousands of servicemen and women who traveled through Nebraska during World War II fondly remember the hospitality of the North Platte Canteen where every troop train was met by volunteers who prepared and served sandwiches, coffee, cookies, cakes and other homemade 'goodies' during stops there.
The Canteen and its volunteers are honored at the Lincoln County Historical Museum which also has many other reminders from our proud past; an opportunity to look back in time.
North Platte's 20th Century Veterans Memorial.
Every year in mid-June North Platte hosts the week long Nebraskaland Days celebration. Click on nebraskalanddays.com for more information.
If you are a nature lover, springtime is for the "birds". The Platte river area is a stop-over point for migrating waterfowl -- flocks of geese, ducks and the Sandhill cranes are area visitors during the months of February, March and April. Lake McConaughy has a viewing station to watch bald eagles (middle of January through March).
We are members of Pheasants Forever and support maintaining wildlife habitat.

Many different build tools and Java IDEs use public Maven repositories to download dependencies. This page lists the Maven repositories where Clojure and contributed libraries may be found, and how to configure them in different build tools.
Leiningen Quick Start
To use Clojure and contrib library releases in your Leiningen project, there's nothing special to do. Just add dependencies in project.clj
To use Clojure and contrib library SNAPSHOTS in your Leiningen project, add the following to your project.clj:
A note about releases versus snapshots
Maven repositories distinguish between releases and snapshots.
Releases have fixed version strings, like 1.2.0 or 1.3.0-alpha5. Once it has been uploaded to a public repository, a release never changes.
Snapshots have version strings ending in -SNAPSHOT. Typically, snapshot version strings look like 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT, although Clojure the language adds the name of the git branch, like 1.3.0-master-SNAPSHOT. Snapshots are like tracking the latest version of a project in source control: they can change.
When a snapshot is uploaded to a public Maven repository, the -SNAPSHOT in the version string is replaced with a unique timestamp, so 1.3.0-master-SNAPSHOT would become something like 1.3.0-master-20110408.150223-52.
If you use a -SNAPSHOT version in your project dependencies, most Maven-based tools will automatically check for updated versions of that snapshot. (Maven itself allows you to disable this behavior with the -o option.) To pin your dependency at a specific snapshot version, use the full version string with the timestamp.
Clojure & Contrib library releases
New snapshots and releases are uploaded to the Sonatype open-source repository at https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public/
Releases are automatically sync'd from there to the Maven Central Repository at http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/
How to configure release repositories
Nothing to do here. Maven-based tools, including Leiningen, always check the Maven Central Repository for releases.
It takes up to 24 hours for a new release to be sync'd from the Sonatype repository to Maven Central. If you want to get a new release sooner, use the same instructions as for snapshot repositories, below.
How to configure snapshot repositories in Leiningen
In a Leiningen
project.clj file:
How to configure snapshot repositories in Gradle
In a Gradle
build.gradle file:
How to configure snapshot repositories in Maven
In a Maven project's
pom.xml file:
How to configure snapshot repositories globally in Maven
This only works if you are building your projects with Maven itself, not with Maven-based tools such as Leiningen.
In your
~/.m2/settings.xml file:
Historical Notes
Monolithic "clojure-contrib" after 1.2.0
After the 1.2.0 release, clojure-contrib was split into multiple sub-modules. This proved even more cumbersome than the monolithic clojure-contrib, and is being phased out. There is no plan to release clojure-contrib post-1.2.0 in either monolithic or modularized forms.
Instead, new development of "contrib" libraries is occurring in independent Git repositories. Each library can have its own version and release cycle, independent of Clojure. Snapshots and releases of these "new contribs" are uploaded to the public repository at oss.sonatype.org and sync'd to Maven central just like Clojure itself.
Clojure and clojure-contrib releases 1.2.0 and earlier
For Clojure the language and clojure-contrib versions 1.0.0, 1.1.0, and 1.2.0, releases and snapshots were uploaded to a public repository at http://build.clojure.org/releases and http://build.clojure.org/snapshots respectively. These repositories are no longer active.
Clojure releases 1.0.0, 1.1.0, 1.2.0, and 1.2.1 were also manually uploaded to the Maven Central Repository.
Clojure-contrib releases 1.0.0, 1.1.0, and 1.2.0 were manually uploaded to the Maven Central Repository.

11 Ways to Fix Your Laptop
Whether you're a frequent flyer or you just take your notebook from room to room at home, your portable gets subjected to a lot more punishment than desktops do. With this in mind, notebook manufacturers construct their systems to stand up to everything from violent jostling to occasional spills.
Despite their relatively hearty constitutions, laptops are often quick to show signs of wear and tear -- and not just on the outside. Any one of these issues can cost you time and money in not just lost productivity, but on tech support calls and shipping labels as well. Thankfully, your notebook's ailments can often be cured with a quick fix. To pinpoint the most common problems, we picked the brains of senior technical-support officials at Alienware, Dell, Lenovo, and Toshiba. And we've provided solutions for getting your laptop back up and running with minimal effort.
1. Overheating
To prevent further dust buildup, place a piece of filtered cloth, say from a Swiffer, over the inhalation vent. Don't place one over the exhaust vent, as that's where hot air is supposed to flow out of the system quickly. If the cloth doesn't work, you may want to update your system's BIOS, which controls the laptop's hardware. Most manufacturers offer an installation file that updates BIOS files automatically, which often address heat management. Just make sure that your notebook is connected to the power supply when updating the BIOS.
2. Slow Hard Drive
3. Battery Won't Hold a Charge
4. Need More Memory
Should you need to purchase a new memory chip, Kingston (www.kingston.com) and Crucial (www.crucial.com) offer tools on their Web sites for determining which products are compatible with your notebook. You can also try www.4allmemory.com. Vista users can use the new Memory Diagnostics tool in Windows Vista; just type "memory" into the search bar, and the OS will scan your physical memory for problems and advise replacement, if necessary.
Vista users might also want to pick up a ReadyBoost-enabled USB drive from the likes of Corsair, Kingston, Lexar, or SanDisk. These devices can improve some programs' startup times by using free space on the USB drive as a temporary memory cache.
5. Hard Drive Failure
Even if you go the online route, a hard drive failure will bring your notebook to its knees. Fortunately, a number of tools can test your drive for problems. Hitachi offers some in the support section of its website (www.hitachi.com). If hard drive replacement becomes necessary, be sure to back up as much data as possible and then switch out the hard drive. You can find step-by-step directions for the replacement procedure on most manufacturers' support sites. For instance, Lenovo goes the extra mile with videos showing the replacement process; type "replacement movie" on www.lenovo.com to check it out.
If you want to preserve the data on your old drive and make switching to a new one as painless as possible, we recommend Apricorn's EZ Upgrade Universal & Hard Drive Upgrade Bundle. Available in 40GB, 80GB, 100GB, and 120GB capacities, and ranging in price from $109 to $149, this kit enables you to upgrade your hard drive in three steps. The package includes cloning and backup software, and it lets you use your old hard drive for backup purposes--assuming it still works.
6. Bad Keyboard
7. Can't Connect to Wireless Network
If you'd rather steer clear of networking issues altogether, or want a tool to help you troubleshoot without having to learn any lingo, download an all-in-one utility like Network Magic (free, or purchase the Premium edition starting at $29.99). It helps you easily set up and secure your network, complete with a comprehensive network map, as well as repair broken wireless Internet connections. Road warriors should consider JiWire's Hotspot Helper ($24.95 per year), which will not only show where you can log on via Wi-Fi but also will protect your privacy while you surf the Web wirelessly. In addition, this utility offers secure e-mail delivery, just like you get back in the office.
MORE: Best Windows 8.1 Browser: Chrome vs. Firefox vs. Internet Explorer
8. Stuck Pixels
Symptom: Green or red dots on your notebook's screen
9. System Crash
Next, connect the enclosure's USB cable to an open USB port on a working PC. If the file system is still intact, the hard drive should show up as an external drive and allow you to transfer data to and from the drive. Next, try running Checkdisk on the drive by opening a DOS prompt (Start/Programs/Accessories/Command Prompt) and typing in X: where X is the letter of your external drive. Then hit Enter. Now type "chkdsk /f." Your system may ask you to dismount the drive; this is okay, so type Y and then hit Enter.
Your notebook will now display some information about your drive (file system type and serial number) and then scan the drive, fixing any errors it encounters. An error report will print out, so you can see what changes were made to the drive. If all went well, you'll be good to go once you plug the hard drive back into the crashed notebook and power it on.
10. Virus or Spyware Infestation
If you don't want to spend any money, you can bolster your defenses with free tools like Ad-Awareand Spybot: Search and Destroy. While both are excellent tools, each has its own strengths and weaknesses--Spybot is better at tracking down malicious code like pop-ups, while Ad-Aware does a better job removing cookies (text files that advertisers copy to a user's computer to track surfing habits). We recommend scheduling periodic scans with both of these tools, just to be safe.
If these tools fail to locate a virus, you may want to try Trend Micro's free House Call at housecall.trendmicro.com, which is sometimes more adept at identifying viruses than other programs. Trend Micro also offers a free database of viruses and manual removal tips, if automated solutions fail.
11. Outdated Video Drivers
Solution: Download the latest drivers

My dog drinks a ton of water and pees when she sleeps
My dog grunt, will be 14 on march 7th, the past 6 months or so she has been gulping down water like it is going out of style, and while she sleep now she has accidents al over the house. We have had her to the vet who says all her blood work comes back normal, except that most of the time she get urinary track infections. They have not given me any reason why she should get these so often and she has ruined a number of expensive beds that we have bought for her and a sofa. The only medicine she is on is called super joint enhancer from 1-800-pet meds and a liquid medicine called Yucca Intensive Yucca Intensive is an outstanding, safe, all natural supplement that is thought to promote symptom relief similar to steroid medications with none of the side effects. Yucca is a purified extract derived from the Yucca plant and has many uses including for the joints, skin, and digestion.Yucca is given internally for joint health and digestion but must be diluted before being administered. This is all to combat her failing hips and arteritis. When we bring her to the vet they prescribe her medicine and we give it as instructed and she is fine for a 1 week or so but right back drinking and peeing what can we do for her please any help appreciated

Sorry, I was really just leading you on to see what you would say. The difference in weight loss between men and women is overblown. The only real difference when it comes to weight loss specifically is muscle mass and basal metabolic rates. That being said, if a woman sets her mind to it and actually buckles down, there isn't anything stopping her from losing weight just as fast as a man. We can talk about water retention, the affinity for a female body to retain fat, etc, but those are all things that with the proper diet can be mitigated and shouldn't ultimately affect true weight loss.
Generally what you find when people make these comparisons is that all things are not equal. An out of shape man still generally has more muscle mass than an out of shape woman. If you took a man and a woman with equal percentages of body fat, both out of shape, and put them on the same diet and exercise routine, where the caloric intake was equal for both people relative to caloric output, the difference in weight loss between the man and the woman would be almost negligible with water retention counting for most of it. While weight loss isn't my specific field of study, I have a BS in Biochem, with a PhD in Nutrition, so I do have some idea of what I am talking about.
Anyway, ultimately, all I was trying to point out was that it was a really odd way of expressing it. Why a woman would claim to know about a men's weight loss more than a man is somewhat confusing.
I don't claim to know more. I was stating an opinion from my perspective and from the perspective of many of my female friends based on personal experiences. For example, a couple I know who were both overweight by a comparative amount they both went through a weight loss regimen with a personal trainer and dietitian and were very good at keeping to the program. He quite simply lost the weight faster than she did though they both put in the same effort. It took her about 3 months longer to lose the same amount of weight as he did. Caloric output aside there are differences in females versus males by way of hormones which do affect metabolism. I'm not saying you don't know what you are talking about. I'm just saying there are other factors besides just calorie intake and output that can affect the rate of weight loss.
On a side note it's great that you have that degree. Since my mom died I have been trying to figure out what to do with myself. I put my schooling on hold to care for her for the past 5 years...I'm actually looking at pursuing a degree in Exercise and Sport Science with an emphasis on Athletic training and nutrition. I would love to pick your brain some time.

(Reuters) - Top seed Victoria Azarenka needed little over an hour to open her campaign at the Qatar Open with an emphatic victory against Romina Oprandi on Wednesday.
Australian Open champion Azarenka won 6-2 6-3 to move into the third round after receiving a bye in the first round.
The Belarussian's world number one spot is under threat at the $2.3 million event where American Serena Williams and Russian Maria Sharapova can reclaim top spot.
Fifteen-times grand slam champion Williams will return to the top of the rankings for the first time since 2010 if she makes the semi-finals, while Sharapova could become number one if she wins the title.
Both won their second-round matches on Tuesday.
Playing her first match since retaining the Australian Open, Azarenka dropped her opening service game but once she found her range she had too much firepower for Swiss Oprandi.
Azarenka will next play American Christina McHale who knocked out Lucie Safarova.
Fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska also moved safely through to the third round with a 6-3 6-2 defeat of Australia's Anastasia Rodionova while former world number one Caroline Wozniacki faced some stiff resistance initially from Sorana Cirstea before winning 7-6 6-0.
