State Fair Ride Accident
STATE FAIR ACCIDENT KILLS MAN.
MIDWAY RIDE CAR BREAKS LOOSE.
Dallas (AP) -- A car on a popular spinning midway ride broke loose, hung precariously for five or six revolutions and plummeted more than 50 feet into a crowd of people at the State Fair of Texas, killing one man, seriously injuring two others and sending five other people to hospitals.
Bob Halford, assistant general manager of the fair, said the dead man and the two seriously injured men were in the five-passenger car when it separated from the ride, flew about 50 feet and fell between another ride and a root beer stand about 8:05 p.m. Monday.
Robert Breckenridge, a field agent for the Dallas County Medical examiner's office, said a 19-year-old man was pronounced dead at 9:14 p.m. at Parkland Hospital. Claude McCain, night administrator at Parkland, identified the dead man as WILLIAM PHILLIPS of Allen, about 25 miles north of Dallas.
MARION T. PHILLIPS, 23, a brother of the deceased, and MICHAEL OLIVARRI, 15, who recently moved from San Antonio, were reported in serious condition at Parkland. Halford said the three had attended the fair together.
Five other people were sent to Dallas hospitals with lesser injuries and fair officials said nine other people were treated at first aid stations for accident-related ailments ranging from possible ankle and neck injuries to upset stomachs.
Mary Brown, 19, of Dallas was working at a cotton candy stand on the midway of the State Fair of Texas when she heard "a loud bang and then some popping" about 8:05 p.m. Monday.
"I guess it was the thing cracking," she said.
"I looked around and saw a car flying through the air. I just jumped out of the booth and started running. I only saw two guys on the ground ... one of them was in pretty bad shape," Ms. Brown said.
Glenn Freeman, operator of another ride on the Midway, said he saw a car on the
"Enterprise" shaking about two hours before the accident. Freeman said he told the operator of the "Enterprise" about the problem and said the two examined the ride and found a damaged weld on one of the cars. Freeman said he told the operator to send for a welder to repair the joint.
Fair officials said they received no reports of problems with the ride or any request for a welder.
Halford said the accident will be thoroughly investigated. Fair officials barricaded the area around the ride immediately after the accident and impounded the car.

Q: How can i make this matplotlib "word cloud" graph better looking? For the sake of learning, I'm working on this word cloud program, that counts the number of times a word appears in a text, and prints it out in a kind of "word-cloud" image.
The program works fine, but I would like to address a couple of esthetical things like:

*

*How do I remove the numbers on the x-axis and the y-axis?

*Is it possible to remove the axes completely?

*Sometimes a word positions itself over another. Does anyone know how to make the word not print over each other and make the words position themselves nicely next to each other instead?
The out print is

... and...
I would like it to look something like this (or as least as close to it as possible)

The code in question is
filename = "adventure.txt"
infile = open(filename)

wordcounts = {}

for line in infile:
    words = line.split()
    for word in words:
        w = "".join([e for e in word if e.isalpha()])
        w = w.lower()

        if w in wordcounts:
            wordcounts[w] = wordcounts[w] + 1
        else:
            wordcounts[w] = 1

#Put all words in list and sort counts
words = list(wordcounts.keys())
words.sort(key=lambda x:wordcounts[x], reverse=True)

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

#Set maximum fornt size to 50
scale = 50/wordcounts[words[1]]

#Set up empty plot with limits on x-axis and y-axis
plt.axes(xlim=(0,100), ylim=(0,100) )

#Plot 50 most frequent words with size=frequency

N = min(len(words), 50)
for i in range(0,N):
    x = np.random.uniform(0,90)
    y = np.random.uniform(0,90)
    freq = wordcounts[words[i]]
    col =["r", "g", "b", "m", "c", "k"][i % 5]
    plt.text(x, y, words[i], fontsize=scale * freq, color=col)
plt.show()

All help is welcomed and appreciated.

A: Define the figure object without axes' ticks and labels:
fig = plt.figure(figsize = (10, 10), num = 1, clear = True)
ax = plt.subplot(1, 1, 1, xticks = [], yticks = [], frameon = False)

Remove this line:
plt.axes(xlim=(0,100), ylim=(0,100) )

Concluding lines:
for i in range(0,N):
    x = np.random.uniform(0,90)
    y = np.random.uniform(0,90)
    freq = wordcounts[words[i]]
    col =["r", "g", "b", "m", "c", "k"][i % 5]
    ax.text(x, y, words[i], fontsize=scale * freq, color=col)
plt.show()

To make your plot look similar to the example you provided... it'll take a lot of manual plug&chug, trial&error, whatever you want to call it; you'll have to plug in coordinates for each word and decide where you think each word looks best in terms of x-y coordinates--one tip being that the largest word should be plotted last (i.e. when i == N - 1), while the smallest text should be plotted first (i.e. when i == 0); in that way the larger text won't have smaller text overlaying it. You could also focus on having non-overlapping coordinates with enough distance so that the words aren't too close to one another--alternatively, if you want the words to be touching, you could scale the degree to which they're overlapping one another. Have a colormap that randomizes the RGB list so that the colors are more "scattered" (rather than having all of the yellow text in the top right corner for example). Maybe center the larger text and have the smaller text more towards the periphery. The list goes on, but I think you get the idea.

Healing comes with time. It's true. Patience with yourself and the process is key to minimizing further pain and damage. That is a tortuous sentiment for a faced-paced woman like me. No human likes discomfort or waiting. Everyone wants to be healed immediately whenever sickness, pain or hardship strikes. But when we look back, we can see why it's good to be patient and how much healing was needed and has come from time and the process. Truthfully, the steps that it took to heal would have been made the healing process more excruciating. Be patient with yourself.
I'm thankful to have my friend Megan to document it each year. She shot my resurrection photos when I was in San Diego last summer, and shot some photos that I call "Light and dark" this spring.
To me, these photos feel very honest of who I am. I'm a woman that seeks truth and the light, but I'm flawed and imperfect. I have a shadow that goes with me everywhere I go even though I stand in the light.
I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.

It has been a hot (or shall I say cool) minute since I sat in my swimsuit or threw an outdoor dinner party. I couldn't be more excited to be outside in the summer sun, especially now that I have some gorgeous pieces from Article.
To put it simply, Article seriously stepped up their game this season with their newly expanded outdoor collection. Not just in style and value, but also in how easy they've made it for you to upgrade your outdoor space — no matter your style.
They've curated three distinct looks to choose from: Garden Scandi, Boho Patio, and Industrial Pop. So there's something for everyone. They even have a QUIZ you can take if you need a little extra help defining your style. For me, I was so drawn to the modern, clean lines and timeless, neutral qualities of their Garden Scandi collection.
You all know how much I adore Article. I have a sofa and two green velvet chairs from Article that I cannot stop raving about. Well, now my outdoors look like my indoors.
The Teaka dining table is SOLID. Solid in style and make. The teak wood comes raw. You can seal it if you would like or you can let it weather. I would recommend sealing it if you live in Arizona because the sun can be super harsh.
I chose the Svelti white outdoor chairs to go with the table because they are easy to wipe down (it gets dusty in AZ) and they won't burn you when you sit on them. They are very comfortable and light-weight, which makes them easy to store in a garage or indoors during the cooler months. Pro tip: The armed versions of these chairs stack if you need to store them during the off-season.
I styled the table with blue, vintage earthenware that I grew up eating on. Blue is a hot color right now, and it looks beautiful outside with the blue sky or near a blue pool.
Because we live in the pool 12 hours a day during the summer, I thought a sectional that I could easily wipe down and lie on would be nice to have. I like the shape of the Tezra sectional, and I felt the darker gray would show less dirt. It's SOOO comfortable. My friend Pete likes it too.
The Toba Driftwood Gray coffee table was the perfect shape to balance the rectangular design of the sectional and the color coordinated well with the solid teak table and dining chairs. The wood also comes raw. So, if you want to avoid water rings, I would recommend coasters or sealing it.
Elle, Levi, and I are set for summer thanks to Article. If you're in the market for affordable, modern outdoor furniture, I highly recommend checking out Article's expanded collection. Be sure to also see how Vintage Revivals and No Whey Lady styled their pieces.
I have been wearing overalls for the past couple of years, and I have found them to be extremely comfortable. Unfortunately, my last pair broke while I was on set in California. I adored them (see them here). So, it was time to find a replacement.
In the time that I bought my Levi's (old overalls) and my new pair by Topshop, the styles had changed from skinny to straight to wide-leg. Like any trend, I wasn't into the wide-leg cropped pant when it first hit the scene, but I have warmed up to it. I am always a fan, however, of cropped pants because every pant that I wear ends up being cropped due to my long legs.
These overalls in particular are amazing because they are formfitting at the natural waist, which is very rare in overall designs. I appreciate this because it is much more figure flattering.
I don't particularly love the backside, but I do love how high-waisted they are. It allows me to wear all sorts of cropped tops and tanks. I'm wearing a bodysuit in these photos, which can be a challenging bathroom combo. LOL! I do not recommend. Haha!

To know me is to know that I'm always wearing some form of denim. It's just the southwest girl in me. Dress it up or down, it's what makes me feel most comfortable. But, just like anything, I can tire of the same old thing. I have dresses that I'll throw on from time to time, but skirts? Yeah, that's not really something I have much of. When I saw this cotton black skirt by Garnet Hill I was intrigued by it. There's a casual quality to it that I love, but the asymmetric hem and the chicness of black made me see this skirt as much more than a regular cotton tube skirt.
So, I took a chance on it, and I'm loving it. I especially love wearing it with a cotton t-shirt and sneakers. It's exactly what spring style is all about. The length is great as well because it's modest for a woman in her mid-thirties, but the design is very fresh. You can also snag the skirt in gray.
If you're in the market for some new spring basics, be sure to check out some other cotton pieces on their site. You can always be assured you will get top-notch textiles from Garnet Hill. Their linen selection is exceptional.
Many recent studies have proven the negative effects of blue light that is emitted from electronics. Given that I work on a laptop nine plus hours a day and use my phone incessantly, the amount of exposure to blue light is a lot. I wear glasses regularly, but all of the lenses that I own don't protect against this type of light. So, I recently got new lenses from DIFF Eyewear that are SUPER cute!
I'm loving thin frames and circular shapes in fashion lately. It's very 90s, and, truthfully, more harmonious with my fine bone structure. DIFF Eyewear is a brand that carries the latest trends and styles and also gives back to those in need with each purchase. I love when my dollars can be used for good, especially when I'm getting a good product in return.
I highly recommend DIFF eyewear. If you use the code EVJEN at check out you will get 10% off your purchase from now until February 26th, 2019.

Please note, the meal was complimentary in exchange for a review, but of course all views are my own.
The other day I headed to where some of you may only know as the end of the Piccadilly line – Uxbridge, to visit the intu shopping centre. They have a great selection of affordable restaurants and I was kindly ask to try out the newly branded Miller's Tap (Previously known as the Slug and Lettuce).
intu Uxbridge is a huge shopping centre with everything from Debenhams, JD Sports to my favourite Beauty Base. Before heading to Miller's Tap, I did a spot of window shopping as it's that weird time of year where I'm still teetering between 'I'm trying to save' and 'treat yo'self'.
The shopping centre is well laid out, bright and airy and a great selection of shops. I wasn't too sure where everything was so I popped by the customer information desk and the staff helpfully pointed me in the right direction. I did pick up a map for safekeeping too.
As it was lunchtime and I'd been in the gym that morning as well as a long tube journey, the hunger began the creep in and after finding my way I soon found Miller's Tap. I've been making a conscious effort to take my work out of my room and that means visiting coffee shops, restaurants and going back to basics with a pen and notebook.
Arriving in Miller's Tap, I knew it was a sports bar but that didn't bother me too much as there were plenty of quiet areas to chill out. The restaurant works on a pay before you order basis (kinda like Nando's) and they have a varied menu full of healthy and 'treat yourself' dishes. You can check out the main menu here.
I opted for a soft drink, panko-crumbed calamari sticks and the Wagyu beef burger trading the chips for sweet potato fries. They came within 10-15 mins of me ordering which was a plus. Not knowing which to try first, I alternated between the calamari sticks and the burger. Best of all, it came to under £20, meaning you can have a meal out alone, with family or friends and not feel like you're spending over the odds.
It's worth a visit for the prawn sticks alone! I will definitely be back.
Will you be intu Uxbridge anytime soon?

On Wednesday, legislators, community partners and concerned citizens took part in the 6th Annual Budget Breakfast for an overview of Governor Jim Justice's proposed budget. Those who would benefit from the governor's proposed tax cuts are largely high-wage earners, leaving low-wage families to continue to pay a larger percentage of their income in taxes.
In case you missed it, you can watch the video of Wednesday's event, read Ted's presentation, or watch the news.
You can also watch the amazing and inspiring words from our keynote speaker, Seema Sadanandan, from Alliance for Safety and Justice, and the importance of the budget as a moral document.
The first ten days of the 2019 Legislative Session saw progress on legislation impacting individuals transitioning from incarceration to life outside of prison.
Bills moving include those related to expungement, restoration of driving privileges, and, a repeal of the lifetime ban on SNAP benefits for people convicted of drug felonies (HB 2459), which just passed out of House Judiciary Committee today with overwhelming bi-partisan support. West Virginia is one of only three states that still has this policy in place.
HB 2459 heads to the floor for a vote of the full House. Here is our fact sheet on the issue.
On January 16, our Policy Advisory Committee held its inaugural meeting to discuss and offer suggestions on the WVCBP's policy and research agenda. Partners working in early childhood education, food security, health policy, criminal justice, and other areas came together to address what they would like to see from the organization and how our groups can work together to improve the lives of all West Virginians.
Check out Budget Beat in the coming months when we will profile members of our advisory committee and board!
Join us live on Tuesday for a discussion with our public policy fellow, Tara Holmes, on the gender pay gap in West Virginia.
We will discuss her findings on the results of the pay gap and the policies that would help to close it to benefit all women and families in West Virginia.
The West Virginia Center on Budget and Policy is currently seeking a Communications Specialist.
The Communications Specialist is responsible for creating and implementing a comprehensive communications strategy that advances public policies that improve the quality of life for all West Virginians. This includes media relations, public campaigns, publication design, social media, and website and database management. Interested applicants are encouraged to send their resumes to info@wvpolicy.org.

Although most assays for measuring drug levels in serum determine the total concentration, effects from a drug are determined better by measuring the concentration of unbound (free) drug in serum. When the free fraction of a drug is constant, the total drug concentration may act as a good guide in predicting drug activity. However, if the free fraction is altered from normal, the serum concentration of the total drug may be misinterpreted. Quinidine has a high binding affinity for alpha-1-acid glycoprotein. We present the case of a woman who had a myocardial infarction; after cardiac surgery, she was found to have high concentrations of alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (228 mg/dL) and a low free fraction of quinidine (0.032). At that time the patient had a total concentration of quinidine of 33.9 µmol/L (11 µg/mL) but showed no signs or symptoms of toxicity because the concentration of free quinidine was not high. Physicians should be aware of the limitations of assays in determining the unbound concentration of drugs in serum. This awareness is particularly crucial with drugs that bind well to serum proteins, especially when pathologic conditions change the extent of binding.

Open Access in Law Teaching: A New Approach to Legal Education
Lewis & Clark Law Review, Forthcoming
Hofstra Univ. Legal Studies Research Paper No. 06-30

The "open access" movement seeks to change our approach to the distribution of scholarship in the fields of science, medicine, the social sciences, and law. This Essay argues for the application of these principles to legal education itself. Open access would mean greater flexibility, interaction, and innovation in the creation of course materials. It would lead to new teaching methods and new forms of feedback between student and professor. Open access centers on particular legal subject areas could facilitate national and international collaboration. Ultimately, the open access law school would ameliorate the growing standardization and commodification of legal education by drawing on global pools of information while at the same time providing more localized feedback to individual students.

Get to Know Crystal Langford and her trusty steed Hero: Horses, hitches & history
By Lou Wallace
In GuideAdvisor Exclusives, Local Experts & Private Guides, Stories
Passion is what inspires most tour guides to do what they love, but lifestyle choice is also part of the equation for Kootenay Horse & Carriage owner, Crystal Langford. With three children under 10 years old, family life led Crystal to start a historic horse & carriage business in the heart of south-central British Columbia. The idea was to create something her kids would grow up to love and appreciate, but in doing so, Crystal has added another member to the family; a 2,300-pound draft horse named Hero. Kids, families and elderly couples now travel from far and wide to catch a glimpse of Hero in action. We sat down for a coffee with his owner to find out how it all began.
Hi Crystal, thanks for jumping out of the saddle for a chat! First of all, how did you come up with the idea of Kootenay Horse and Carriage?
I suppose I had to reassess what I was doing after I had my children because it didn't make financial sense to put three kids into childcare. I realized that I wanted to do something I was proud of, passionate about, and that could be a part of our home life as well. I'm not sure how I came up with the idea at first, but I knew I wanted to do something fun that the kids could do with me.
Have you always been passionate about horses? How did you find yourself at the reins, so to speak?
I had horses when I was younger, but I never really saw myself working with them. Actually, I swore I would never have horses again, but draft horses are different – they are calm and docile, and they're bred to work. My horse, Hero, is the most laid-back and down-to-earth working partner, but he's also part of our family and we do stuff with him all the time.
Was it a challenge to get Kootenay Horse & Carriage off the ground? Any hurdles spring to mind?
Once I got the right permits, I had to find the right horse, which was easier said than done. We fell in love with our first horse, Jack, but he started to limp and we had to retire him after two weeks because his previous owners hadn't shoed him very well. Unfortunately he passed away last year, but I don't think we would have been able to make it if he hadn't been our first horse. Then we bought a horse from the US, but he wasn't trained as his owner had led us to believe. After that, we went through another two horses before we finally found our current horse, Hero. Five times a charm, isn't that what they say?
How about the guiding part of what you do? Was it difficult to incorporate historical commentary into your tours?
Not really. I was born and raised in Nelson, so I know quite a lot about the area and its quirks. I have also read some great books, and I pick up a lot of stories along the way. We're also planning to run free tours for the local retirement home, not only to give them a fun experience, but to also learn and share more stories of Nelson so we can incorporate them into our tours.
What's it like having a 2,300-pound horse as a business partner?
I would say it's the best part of my job. Hero is part of the family and we've built a strong relationship with him. He trusts that I will take care of him, and he gives me something back that other business partners can't. My kids have also fallen in love with him. Whenever they have friends come over, they feed him carrots and my son even scoops his poop. They like doing it because they love him and it gives our family a focus beyond ourselves.
What do you love about your job?
I really love talking to people around Nelson and building a yearbook of knowledge for the area. But I also love it when kids see Hero. There is no horse like him in the area – he's massive. The kids love him and he's so gentle with them. I often get him to lower his head to the kids' level so they can pet him.
What about the parts of your job that you aren't that keen on?
Bureaucracy! It has been quite a struggle getting permits, and there is quite a bit of red tape. Also, people's lack of education about horses can be frustrating. I've had some locals question whether horses like carrying people around, but he's built to work – that's what he's bred for. If he didn't want to do what he's doing, he just wouldn't do it. He knows that I would do anything for him and I will never let anything bad happen to him.
Hero is more than a colleague. He's part of our family and he has an amazing life at home. (We even bought another horse to keep him company). He's magnificent to look at, but his personality is also worth coming to check out.
Most memorable tour you've led?
The most memorable carriage ride was when I took an autistic boy and his sister in the Grad Cavalcade Parade. He loved it so much that afterwards he would come down to visit Hero when we were giving tours in town. They formed a very special relationship.
What attributes do you think are needed to make a good tour guide?
Guides can give their clients a more personal and authentic experience if they have a long-term personal connection to the place they are running their tours. Historical and geographical facts are good to know, but stories from locals make guests feel like they're part of the community, even if only for a day. It's also essential for guides to be passionate about what they do and where they're doing it. Nobody wants to go on a tour with a guide who's just there for the pay cheque. If you love what you're doing, then people will love doing it along with you.
What elements are essential for a great tour?
Weather is the deciding factor for my tours. I wouldn't want to work in the rain, and I'm sure my horse wouldn't want to either. Also, I can't let Hero work when it's too hot, so we run evening tours in the summer to stay out of the heat. Every tour is different, but my favourites are when there are kids on the tour. Children just love Hero, and he loves the attention. They take the time to pet him and they love sitting up front with me while I'm driving – just to be closer to him. I also enjoy people who like taking the time to look around, marvel at our beautiful area, and ask questions. It makes me proud of where we live.
Have you got plans for where you want to take the business in the future?
I would like to do more weddings and kids birthday parties – It's so rewarding to see people having a good time and the look on kids' faces when they see Hero. I would also love to do sleigh rides in the winter, but I need to work towards buying a sleigh first.
And finally, is there anything you would like to share with GuideAdvisor readers? Or anything you would like them to know?
Sure – I would like to reassure them that Hero is more than a colleague. He's part of our family and he has an amazing life at home. (We even bought another horse to keep him company). I would also like our customers to know that draft horses are built to work. In fact they need to work to stay healthy and happy. Hero is magnificent to look at, but his personality is also worth coming to check out. He's slow and it's not a terribly 'exciting' ride, but it gives you time to take in the scenery and history, and to ask questions. We can also bring our business to you for private events anywhere in the West Kootenay Region – not only Nelson and Kaslo.

With the approval of 51% FDI in multi-brand retail, shares of companies engaged in multi-brand retail may witness frantic buying on Monday. Shares of Pantaloon Retail, Shopper's Stop, Provogue, Koutons Retail etc., might open higher following the government's decision to permit 51% FDI in multi-brand retail. Easing of rules for single brand retail could also lead to improved sentiments.
FDI in the aviation industry.
Kingfisher Airlines and Spice Jet are likely to see renewed buying interest on Monday, as it is expected that the government's move to increase FDI in aviation will breather new life into the aviation sector.


!I purchased the Pain Relief blend first in August 2016 and can not live without it ! I suffer joint pain from Multiple Sclerosis and was taking ibuprofen several times a day to ease the pain in my body. I started using The Pain Relief blend by applying to my neck and spine a couple times a day and I also use it directly at sites esp painful. I consulted Ninette who recommended the ratio to mix it and viola! No more pain and no more ibuprofen ! My husband also uses it for his restless legs and I often hear him telling others he no longer takes naproxen. Thank you Ninette and Josiah Oil's for the Pain Relief Blend that has changed my life !!!


The Toronto Maple Leafs have inked forwards Joe Colborne and Troy Bodie to one-year contracts. David Nonis, Senior-Vice President and General Manager of the club, made the announcement on Wednesday of the signings.
News also surfaced late Wednesday that the club has parted ways with Marlies centre Mike Zigomanis.
Marlies officially part ways with veteran C Mike Zigomanis, who signs with Rochester Americans.


That's it. The Jhonny Peralta contract will be a tipping point, leading to harsher penalties for players who are suspended for using performance-enhancing drugs.
Prior to Peralta striking it rich, $16 million for two years seemed to be the standard free-agent deal for a position player coming off a PED suspension.
That's what Melky Cabrera got last offseason. That's what Marlon Byrd got this offseason. But Peralta, in his new deal with the St. Louis Cardinals, will earn more than three times that sum.
The Cardinals are in agreement with Peralta on a four-year, $53 million contract, according to major-league sources. And while some fans are outraged, they hardly are the only ones disgusted.
Ziegler was referring to the willingness of clubs to reward drug cheats, but he knows the players are just as responsible for the Joint Drug Agreement (JDA) as the owners.
Indeed, if players are going to reap financial benefits after serving PED suspensions, then the solution is to make them forfeit even more salary through increased penalties.
Ziegler declined to elaborate on his tweets when contacted by FOXSports.com. But rest assured, he is not the only player who believes harsher penalties are necessary to curb PED use.
The issue, in fact, is so sensitive, other players also declined comment Sunday, apparently under instructions from the union.
Still, the players won't be silent long.
A number of them are likely to suggest changes to the JDA at the union's annual board meeting in early December. Any such changes would need to be collectively bargained with the owners.
I remain skeptical of harsher penalties as a panacea, agreeing with the position of some in the union that the fear of getting caught is a more effective deterrent.
Michael Weiner, the late union chief, held that position, but I doubt the new union leadership can persuade the players that it is still the right one.
Peralta is the final blow.
He accepted and served his 50-game suspension for his involvement with Biogenesis, a South Florida clinic that allegedly provided players with PEDs. Under the current system, he has every right to his $53 million, and the Cardinals have every right to give it to him.
In the view of many players, though, it is wrong that Peralta is landing a whopping contract less than four months after admitting that he used PEDs. Peralta, after his suspension, appeared for the Detroit Tigers in only three regular-season and 10 postseason games. And now look at him.
Free-agent outfielder Nelson Cruz, a slugging outfielder who also was suspended 50 games in August for his involvement with Biogenesis, might do even better on the open market than Peralta.
So yes, something is indeed amiss.
Under the JDA, players receive suspensions of 50 games for a first offense, 100 games for a second and a lifetime ban for a third. Some players would like to see a one- or even two-year suspension for a first offense and a lifetime suspension for a second.
Other ideas also are in play, including a two-tiered penalty system that distinguishes between players who intentionally cheat and players who do not. The burden of proof in such a program would be on the player, who would need to demonstrate that his misstep was inadvertent.
Financial disincentives also could be instituted for PED users and the teams that employ them. A player could have his free agency delayed for a year. A team might be required to make a significant additional payment – perhaps through a donation to PED education – if it signs a past, confirmed user.
As one player recently told me, "We've just got to figure out what actually makes sense. What we don't want to do is rush into something, make a rash decision based on emotion and have it end up down the road causing major problems.
Not all players, though, share the same sense of social responsibility. Better to look at this, instead, in the simplest possible terms.
A system is in place. The system isn't working. The system needs to be changed.

In my previous article, I detailed the ways I have used my hot rodded IIci for audio/video work, and the response from readers has been wonderful. I have received many responses that have been both informative and friendly. Thank you to everyone who wrote about their experiences with multimedia work on vintage Macs. I hope to continue to provide useful ideas for all of you that use vintage Macs for this purpose.
My interest in vintage Macs springs from my interest in audio production and music in general. The Macintosh has been used for this type of work more often than any other widely available platform. While the Macintosh was the choice of audio/video professionals for many years, PCs didn't gain widespread acceptance for serious production work until more recently.
These days, vintage Macs that are capable of multimedia work are going for peanuts. Like many Low End Mac readers, I have quite a few vintage Macs that I have saved from various fates, and frequently use eBay to gather the bits and pieces to make them useful again. Each project has given me new insights into why Mac users are so loyal to their machines.
However, I have found it difficult to find uses for all of my Macs and justify the space in my apartment that they occupy. I also have a home studio that occupies a lot of space, so I decided to try and find a niche for every Mac I own and allow them to perform a function within my home studio setup.
As an owner of both vintage 68k Macs and older Power Macs, I needed to find functions for each Mac and software for the tasks I deemed them capable of.
The IIci is better suited for video work because of it's superior Spigot II Tape capture card. It captures at full 30 frames per second and has been upgraded recently with an external SCSI A/V drive.
I chose my Radius 81/110 for audio work because newer versions of Digidesign Pro Tools are Power Mac only, and it contains a Digidesign Audiomedia II card that is far superior to the PAS 16 in the IIci.
These machines could be networked via AppleTalk, so I could move files around at my discretion, although it is just as easy to move external hard drives to different machines.
To physically link all of their audio inputs and outputs, I use standard 1/4" patchbays with cable adapters as needed. This gives me the flexibility to patch any signal in or out of any of my Macs or analog equipment in my studio. They also make patchbays that are video specific, but my video signals are on mixed connectors, so I am limited to using the IIci and patching directly between it and video equipment.
Sometimes I use a combination of two machines for audio work. This is the case when I use something like Virtual Drummer to create a wacky low-fi drum beat. I patch the outputs of the IIci's PAS 16 into the Radius audio inputs on the patchbay and record the beat. I can then edit and use it within my multitrack recording software.
Because both are already wired into the patchbay, it is a simple patch from one point to the other on the patchbay. A patchbay can really help you stay organized when working with multiple audio sources and saves a lot of time you would spend connecting and reconnecting your equipment.
For other multimedia studio related tasks, I have a few more Macs involved. I have been using a Power Computing PowerBase 180 for organizational duties. I keep the schedule of studio related work on it and inventory tape stock and other items. It is also used for Internet access in the studio area.
I also have a Classic II that stores names and addresses that are related to studio work or music. In addition, it sits next to the telephone and looks cute.
The Radius 81/110 is the newest acquisition in my vintage Macintosh A/V arsenal. A quick rundown of it's features is probably in order here, because it performs the bulk of my computer audio functions.
I can't say enough good things about this Mac clone. It is a seriously overbuilt machine meant for A/V work. The power supply is huge, and the case seems pretty indestructible. It has completed replaced a much newer Pentium III PC and the IIci for all my audio production work. I am running a lot of intense audio applications on it, and it never seems to freeze or cause audio glitches the way my PC did.
The Digidesign Audiomedia II card has excellent sound quality for audio mastering work or additional tracks for a project. The best part is that the entire system cost me less than buying a comparable sound card for a PC or newer PCI Power Mac.
It's important to be creative when thinking of the ways your vintage Macs can perform multimedia functions. I have a friend who uses an LC just for the QuickTime 2.5 instruments and its speech synthesizer. You may find that one Mac makes a great MIDI sequencer, while another is perfect for CD quality audio use.
I have found so many uses for my vintage Macs that I may yet find peace of mind when buying more of them. Use your best judgment, and don't be afraid to experiment and push the limits of your vintage Macs. Finding uses for them justifies their continued existence in your home and makes a good argument for adding more to the collection.


Japan's gross domestic product (GDP) increased a revised 0.4 percent in April-June from the previous quarter, the Cabinet Office said in a report on Friday.
The revised figure matched economists' median forecast and beat the preliminary reading of a 0.1 percent increase.
The revised rate equals an annualized rate of 1.5 percent in the April-June period, up from a 0.4 percent initially reported last month.
The difference is being credited to higher corporate capital investment, however economists are predicting the economy will contract due to the yen's strength which continues to however around 15-year highs against the U.S. dollar.
Coupled with the yen's strength which is severely hampering Japan's export-led economic recovery, domestic demand and demand for Japan's goods from major export locations such as the United States and China is beginning to show signs of slowing.


I've been meaning to bake bread for ages. I got lazy over the summer and bought bread from the little organic bakery not far from us or sometimes from the grocery store (although I made sure it had no trans-fats or HFCS). Still, neither of these options are as satisfying as my own homemade bread….

Analyze This: Looking Back at the Year in Gaming 2008
by Howard Wen [Business/Marketing, Indie]
December 18, 2008 Page 4 of 4
Michael Pachter, Wedbush Morgan Securities:
Hits and misses of 2008...
Surprise hit: Wii Fit. It looked fun but too simple to attract a real base, and it will end up being the best selling game of the year, better than Grand Theft Auto IV. That's remarkable. Surprise failure: Wii Music. Everything they [Nintendo] touch turns to gold. This one didn't.
How all the platforms performed in the market in 2008...
They all surprised me in one way or another. The Wii has sold 8 million units in the U.S. through November, compared to under 5 million through November of last year. That's remarkable, insofar as the Wii will sell more units than in any year in PS2 history.
The PS3 is up by almost the same percentage, but its sales are only 35 percent of Wii sales. In other words, the Wii is outselling the PS3 by almost 3 to 1. The 360 has been out the longest, so it should not have been expected to ramp, and it didn't. Sales are down 2 percent year-over-year.
The DS remains mindbogglingly successful, with year-to-date sales up 15 percent over last year's -- thru November, 6 million units.
It's hard to be "disappointed" in the PSP, which is up 1.5 percent year-over-year.
I suppose that the takeaway is that all of the consoles are doing at least as well as last year, with great strides made by the Wii and the PS3. The notable thing is that the Wii is still at launch price, while the PS3 is cheaper than last year. Imagine what will happen when the Wii is at $149!
Lessons learned in 2008 that could change things in 2009...
Watch out for crowded release windows. There were a ton of games that were overlooked, and which should have been more successful.
These include Far Cry 2, Midnight Club: Los Angeles, Dead Space, Mirror's Edge, Saints Row 2, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, LittleBigPlanet, and Prince of Persia, all of which came out in a crowded holiday window that included Gears of War 2, Fallout 3, Fable 2, and Call of Duty: World at War.
Midway's Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe
My guess is that many of these would have performed better if launched in January through August, and we may see publishers re-think release windows going forward.
Do you have a business-related question about the video game industry that you would like to suggest for discussion in Analyze This? Are you a professional analyst and would like to take part in this column? Email [email protected].

2017 Feile Competition
posted May 12, 2017, 8:25 AM by John O'Sullivan [ updated May 12, 2017, 8:44 AM ]
Silverware for u14 Ruan Girls and Camogie Stallworth Remembered
The Ruan Comogie club, with agreement from the NeilanFamily, sought to honour the memory of Janet Neilan for her efforts so generously given to the benefit of our club over many years. The opportunity to sponsor a county competition was available and deemed an appropriate memorial.
Therefore the inaugural Janet Neilan Memorial Feile C Competition was hosted by Ruan on Saturday 29th April. The day saw 2 very high standard semi-finals play in a very competitive and sporting manner. The Banner girls had a 2 point victory over Broadford, while Ruan had a more comfortable margin in their win over Cratloe, 3:8 to no score.
The previous weekend Ruan qualified for the semi-final with two hard fought wins in the qualifying round held in Tulla.
The final between Ruan and the Banner, being a rematch of a qualifying match, was a spirited competition where the teams were familiar with their opposition.
With deteriorating weather conditions, a constant cold hard breeze blowing across the pitch, slightly favouring the visiting team in the first half, and a goal each as the half time score,the game was finely balanced. However the Ruan girls were on top in all position on the pitch and the Ruan defence werenot allowing any scoring chances, the tenacity of their play and desire to compete was a joy, seeing them win any loose or broken ball. The banner goal came from a melee of ground hurling in the large square after 5 minutes from the start, however from that point on the Ruan goal never looked in danger.
With 4 minutes to go in the 1st half the 4 goal hero, Aoife Glass, got her 1st goal of the final.
This settled the Ruan team which allowed them play with more flare when they took to the pitch in the 2nd half. The creative play from the midfield and half forwards set up the many scoring chances for Ruan, which in the end saw Aoife get 3 goals in the 2ndhalf. The breeze did impact the game making point scoring near impossible, so the final was a very different game to the semi-finals where point were the main fair. The final score Ruan 4:0 to the Banner 1:0.
When the game was over the Nielan Family were on hand to present the trophy in memory of Janet, to the winning and jubilant Ruan team.
A proud day for Ruan, for both winning a county title, and for honouring one of their own in an event enjoyed by all attending.
Well done and congratulations to the U14 girls.

A new lawyer, Abel Ozioko, on Wednesday announced his appearance before a division of the Federal High Court in Abuja as the new counsel for a former spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh.
Mr Metuh is facing a seven-count charge of diversion of N400 million from the office of the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.
The court had earlier on Wednesday discharged the counsel who was representing the defendant in the trial, Onyechi Ikpeazu.
The court decision to discharge Mr Ikpeazu was as a result of a letter by Mr Metuh dated March 6 and filed March 12, informing the court of his intention to disengage the senior advocate from representing him in the trial.
During the session on Wednesday, Mr Ikpeazu told the court that Mr Metuh had debriefed them.
According to him, Mr Metuh said he no longer wanted them as the legal team representing him, noting that he has the right to choose his counsel.
"He said he believes we can no longer effectively represent him and that he has a right to choosing," Mr Ikpeazu told the court.
Mr Onwubufor is the lawyer for Dextra Investment Ltd, the company charged with Mr Metuh in the trial.
"I do not think a counsel is allowed to withdraw by mere affidavits of facts which were filed by counsel to the first defendant. Before a court ceases to act, it must be an order of the court.
"I urge the court to hear the application alongside the affidavits of facts filed.
"The prosecution has filed a counter affidavit and the second defendant (we have also filed a reply. So the issue has been joined.
In his part, the prosecution counsel, Sylvanus Tahir, said they were on the same page with the second defendant's counsel.
Following argument from both counsel, the presiding judge, Abang Okon, made a short ruling.
"The moment a defendant debriefs his counsel, there is nothing a court of law can do.
He cited section 36(6c) of the 1999 Constitution as amended, which states that: "Every person who is charged with a criminal offence shall be entitled to – (c) Defend himself in person or by legal practitioners of his own choice.
"Therefore the application filed by Ikpeazu has been overtaken by an event.
"Asking Ikpeazu to argue the motion is no longer of use," Mr Abang added.
The court wondered why the legal strategy by Mr Metuh but held that it cannot question the defendant's decision.
"In any event, I cannot stop the first defendant from presenting who would defend him in court," the judge said.
After the ruling, the new lawyer, Mr Ozioko asked for two weeks to enable him to acquaint himself with the matter.
With the prosecution not objecting to Mr Ozioko's request, Mr Abang adjourned to March 28 for the continuation of trial on a day-to-day basis.
"Frivolous application for adjournment will not be entertained, Mr Abang added.

Andrew Sullivan tortures himself for Obama
Filed under: General — Karl @ 11:25 pm
[Posted by Karl]
The L.A. Times report that Pres. Obama has preserved renditions, secret abductions and transfers of prisoners to countries that cooperate with the US in the war on terrorists — and may expand them — had bloggers like Moe Lane chuckling that Obama-supporting pundits like Andrew Sullivan were now "pro-torture."
Sully rose to the bait, claiming that:
It is not the practice of "extraordinary rendition" that the Bush-Cheney administration pioneered to supplement its own torture program. It is the practice of capturing terror suspects and rendering them to non-torturing foreign governments for detention, interrogation or prosecution.
In reality, as everyone from Al Gore to Richard Clarke to more honest lefty bloggers knows, is that Obama is continuing the extraordinary renditions pioneered by the Clinton-Gore administration.
Sully avoids the charge leveled by critics that such renditions are illegal kidnaping, regardless of whether they result in "torture" however described. He also avoids asking why we would be keen to snatch someone in country A and hand him over to country B, as opposed to bringing him to the US, aside from avoiding legal problems here and the probability that the target may cough up info when left to the tender mercies of the authorities in country B.
Sully, relying on Hilzoy, quotes section 5(e)(ii) of Obama's executive order, under which a "Special Task Force" is established, among other reasons:
to study and evaluate the practices of transferring individuals to other nations in order to ensure that such practices comply with the domestic laws, international obligations, and policies of the United States and do not result in the transfer of individuals to other nations to face torture or otherwise for the purpose, or with the effect, of undermining or circumventing the commitments or obligations of the United States to ensure the humane treatment of individuals in its custody or control.
Clearly, neither Sully nor Hilzoy knows much about Chicago politics. The establishment of "blue-ribbon commissions" to make nasty problems vanish into black holes for extended periods of time is a well-established tradition in the Windy City. To note two prominent examples, Mayor Richard J. Daley did it after the 1968 Democratic Convention; his son did it regarding allegations of police torture in the 1970s and 80s. A task force is a great way to move an issue onto a back burner, in hopes that people will stop paying attention.
What happens while all that studying is going on? Obama's executive order directs everyone to comply with the law. Of course, so did Pres. Bush's EO. To Sully, the difference seems to be that the evil Boosh was a lying liar with flaming pants, while Obama is full of Hopeyness and Changitude. To maintain that illusion, Sully really must avoid reading about Obama's classified loopholes, which may secretly allow enhanced interrogation tactics in "extraordinary cases." Sully claims his past opposition was out of a concern for "ensuring that intelligence is not filled with torture-generated garbage," despite the former CIA official quoted by the L.A. Times as noting that renditions were largely unproductive and less effective at protecting the rights and health of the targets.
Andrew Sullivan's contortions to keep his lips planted firmly to The One's posterior may qualify as a new entry for the Kama Sutra.

Thanks to Patterico for having me guest-blog here; I'm an occasional blogger on the other side of this blog at The Jury Talks Back.
Although, like the Cardinals, I was second-best this weekend (Jack Dunphy got me), I hope you enjoyed my appearance.

Predict the exact score.
Tie-break: Predict the number of receiving yards for Larry Fitzgerald.
Winner gets recognized at The Jury Talks Back. If you're lucky, Scott Jacobs will use amusing profanities to describe why you beat him.
The print press is dying. The press folks say this will lead to less governmental oversight.
And, for all the bias, all the mistakes, all the populism, and all of the cash-driven behavior, they're absolutely right.
Here's what can be done: Citizens can find, and find ways to publish, on government malfeasance. It's not as hard as you might think.
Go to your government offices and get their itemized budget. If they won't just give it to you, file a Freedom of Information Act request (assuming your state has one; most do, as does the federal government). You can inspect them free and get copies, usually at statutory non-awful rates. There's good advice for California residents here.
If you think there's something more interesting than budget, go get it. If there's a subject you have expertise in that government does, look at what they are doing. If you have questions, call people who work on that project and ask them what it is. If you have no idea where to start, look at construction change orders. And ask why that change was needed, and whether that cost was justified.
Tell them you're an interested citizen. You might have to go up the supervisory chain. Be nice.
You'll probably get blown off some. The percentage of successful inquiries – inquiries that show malfeasance – will not be high. But if 10% of the readership of this blog does one such inquiry every year, we can make changes. The blogosphere is doing some first-hand journalism (Patterico's done some great stuff himself) and the readership here is more politically savvy and more interested than the average citizen.
If you try this, and succeed or fail, leave a comment. If you're looking for a place to get the information out, leave a comment here or on one of my posts The Jury Talks Back (it's the button on the right of this blog).
I know it's a lot. I know it's impractical for a lot of reasons for a lot of people. But I was a newspaper reporter, and it's not that rough. And the newspapers are going to continue to shrink to the Puppies section, comics section, and Britney section. For those of us who care, this is one way to help society and stop governmental overreaching.

Khar Says Pakistan Willing To Push Militants Into Afghan Peace Talks
February 02, 2012 09:38 GMT
Pakistan's Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar
Pakistan's foreign minister says her country is ready to push the Taliban and other insurgent groups to enter negotiations to end the war in Afghanistan -- but only after the Afghan people agree on the outline of a solution to the conflict.
Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar, speaking on February 2, said Pakistan is ready to provide whatever peace assistance it can "once the Afghan people decide the way forward."
Her comments came after she held talks in Kabul on February 1 with Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
The talks were aimed at building trust between the two neighboring countries, amid concerns that Pakistan could be hampering peace efforts in Afghanistan by assisting militants from the Taliban and the Haqqani network.

The Opening Cocktail Party for the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris

A dozen years and some $135 million in the making, the Fondation Louis Vuitton is like no other museum in the world. Entirely private, supported by LMVH and Bernard Arnault, it will showcase contemporary art in a remarkably distinctive structure. Designed by Frank Gehry, the museum even outshines his Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. "The original idea was to build a place in movement. It's like a cloud; it changes," said the architect of the building's exterior, notably the enormous panels of milky glass that resemble the sails of a ship.
Last night, guests previewed the inaugural exhibits, which featured rooms of work dedicated to Ellsworth Kelly, Tarek Atoui, and Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster and Olafur Eliasson (the Fondation opens its doors to the public on October 27), and President Hollande spoke admiringly of the power and importance of the museum. "The foundation is a gift to France," he said.

What is solar panel cleaning?
Solar panels empower you to run your home or business with clean energy, cut traditional utility costs, and enjoy reliable, virtually maintenance free operation. Virtually maintenance free! With regular, and simple, cleaning, your solar panels will perform brilliantly for years to come.
Each and every hour, the sun produces enough energy to power 2880 trillion light bulbs. That's enough to give every person alive — all 7.5 billion of us — a lightbulb that would shine for our entire lives. All in one hour!
You may not need 2880 trillion light bulbs, but solar panels are capable of effectively meeting your home or business power needs. Cleaning them is an easy way of increasing efficiency and ensuring you see the short- and long-term savings you need.
The more light that hits the surface, the more power your panels can generate. When there is a build-up of dust, dirt, droppings, grit, and grime, it limits the amount of light coming into contact with the solar cells. Output drops, and your conventional power usage climbs.
But won't rain wash away the mess and clean the panels naturally? Not exactly. Rain will not clear away all build-up or stains, to which solar panels are susceptible given their angled position. North Carolina's rain, humidity, and moisture also facilitate the growth of moss, mold, and mildew. You want to go green — but not this type of green!
Cleaning may also be a condition of your warranty. Many manufacturers and installers require proof of professional cleaning in order to cover you for repairs or replacements. A little routine maintenance can result in big savings in the future.
Mobile Magic provides reliable solar panel washing, as well as the removal of stubborn dirt, droppings, oil, and stains. Our pressure washing techniques, used in combination with gentle brushes and commercial-grade chemicals, ensure that your panels are protected during the cleaning process. And sparkling clean after.
Contact our expert team: we'll make sure your solar panels are ready to capture the power of the sun — and put it to use in your home or business.
We use comercial-grade cleaning chemicals in combination with our pressure washers and gentle bruhes designed to not scratch or deteriorate glass on panels. Depending on how stubborn the surface is will determine the method used to clean it off.
