text: Open Access Glossary Some important Open Access terms explained. Open Access Glossary taken from University of North Texas, University libraries: openaccess.unt.edu/open-access-glossary ### Article Processing Charge (APC) A fee paid by an author (or their lab or grant) that is used to support the process of publishing a journal article. While the practice of "page charges" originated in non-OA journals in certain fields, they are more commonly associated with OA in one of two ways: 1. An OA journal charges authors APCs in order to cover costs that would otherwise be met by subscription revenue. 2. A non-OA journal (e.g., a hybrid journal) allows authors to pay a fee in order to make the final, published version of the article available on the publisher website; however authors and users are not permitted to reuse, distribute, or post a copy of their article in a repository or on their personal website. ### Author Addendum A supplemental contract between an author and a publisher that amends the publisher's standard author agreement in order to allow the author to retain certain rights to the work not allowed under the publisher's standard agreement. Author rights that are frequently included in the author addendum include: submitting a copy to an institutional repository, a subject or disciplinary repository sharing the work directly with colleagues using the work in the classroom including the work in future publications Among others, the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC) offers an author addendum that can be modified and included with the standard publishing agreement in order for authors to negotiate and retain certain rights to their work. For more information, see Creative Commons Licensing. ### Gold road A publishing model in which the official publication of record (usually a journal) is freely available for all to read. The gold open access model can take the form of an entirely open access journal (i.e., all articles are made freely available to read on the publisher website) or a hybrid journal (i.e., a subscription-based journal in which certain articles are made freely available to read on the publisher website). Typically, gold open access publishing models require an article processing charge (APC) paid to the publisher to make the item freely available to read through the publisher website. Those that do not charge APCs are sometimes called platinum OA or diamond OA. ### Green road A version of a journal article or other work of scholarship which is made available through open access in a location other than the official publication of record, such as an institutional repository, a subject or disciplinary repository, or the author's personal website. Many publishers' author contracts give the author the right to post a preprint, post-print, or the final version in such a fashion; other author contracts can be amended to allow for this right by special arrangement or by using a standard author addendum. ### Institutional repository A digital collection hosted by a university or other institution that provides a place to archive and provide access to the scholarly work created at the institution. Most allow members of the institution's community to submit preprints, post-prints, or final versions of published work and often include other forms of scholarship, such as presentations, working papers, reports, etc. Die Forschungsplattform Alexandria ist das institutionelle Repository für Forschende der Universität St. Gallen (HSG). Für Dissertationen der HSG ist dies der Dokumententserver EDIS. ### Open Access (OA) Describes works of scholarship that, while peer-reviewed like other works of scholarship, are free to read online and, according to many definitions of open access, also allow readers to redistribute the work freely as long as the author is attributed. Open access works may be available elsewhere in a form that requires purchase or subscription, such as a print edition or an online journal. Open access publications are sometimes but not always made possible by charging the author to publish, such as with an article processing charge. ### Pre-print The version of the manuscript submitted for publication (before peer-review and before being accepted for publication). Some also use this term for the final peer-reviewed manuscript accepted for publication. In either case, this is usually a document in a format like Microsoft Word or LaTeX. ### Post-print / publisher's PDF Usage varies - can be either the final peer-reviewed version of the manuscript accepted for publication or the final, published version, often with the publisher's design and page numbers.

First Drive: 2013 Volvo S60 Polestar
Up there at the base of the windshield, where you'd expect any respectable Volvo to have its City Safety sending unit, this car has instead a racing-style shift light that glows green, orange, and then red as the revs climb so you'll change into a taller gear before the engine goes ka-blammo. And right now, the darn light is winking at us yet again because the 508-hp turbocharged engine just won't quit pulling, so we shift and then shift again and pretty soon we're hurtling along at a rate that is, well, kind of unseemly for a Volvo.
This is a clue that the 2013 Volvo S60 Polestar is not entirely like any other Volvo that you have ever driven.
We arranged to see this Swedish hot rod not long after its appearance at the Los Angeles auto show. It was a few moments before daybreak at Cars & Coffee in Irvine, California, where 400 of the snappiest cars in the western hemisphere meet every Saturday. And here we find John Maloney, president of Volvo Cars North America, sipping at a paper cup of coffee as he explains to people that, yes, Volvo actually likes cars.
Maloney knows something about liking cars. As a young, Purdue-educated engineer, he worked at Ford SVO (Special Vehicle Operations) in the golden 1980s under Michael Kranefuss, and he chased around Trans-Am road-racing cars and Bob Glidden's 200-mph Thunderbird Pro-Stock drag car. Maloney reminds us that Volvo has always had a performance heritage, whether in rallying, the British Touring Car Championship, or even American street-stock road racing, where it fielded a blisteringly fast Volvo 850R station wagon.
You surely remember the 405-hp Volvo C30 Polestar and the 2012 Volvo C30 T5 R-Design Polestar that we drove last year. The 2013 Volvo S60 Polestar also comes from the Polestar group, a racing team that has been Volvo's partner in the STCC (Scandinavian Touring Car Championship) since 1996.
Polestar's Andreas Naeslund is here and he tells us that the Volvo S60 Polestar was first presented in Sweden last summer as a one-off for a private customer. Since then it has been from Russia to Los Angeles, and now three examples have been built and three more will follow.
The S60 Polestar's bright blue paint is very close to the Rebel blue in which about 1200 Volvo S60 T6 AWD R-Design cars will be sold in the U.S. this year, but the hot rod's exterior has been augmented and reshaped, just like some Swedish starlet of the 1950s. The interior looks stock except for the faux suede upholstery, but then you feel the firmer bolsters of the driver seat. The center console also has been shaved to help you reach for the manual shift lever. Wait a second; manual shift lever? Why, there are three pedals on the floor!
The engine fires up as if it's just any other turbocharged, 2953-cc T6 inline-six. Naeslund takes the S60's death seat to the right and warns us about the heavy action of the clutch pedal and the abrupt engagement of the sintered clutch plate, but the action is lighter than any BMW M5 and the engagement is more predictable than any Infiniti G37. It's clear that Naeslund has had to sit quietly while this car has been in the hands of journalists and prospective buyers - a selection of the dazed and confused that would take your breath away -- so we are completely flattered when he turns to us, sighs with relief and says, "I can see that you have driven a car with a manual transmission before."
We're not going to dice with death in this 508-hp car in the middle of Orange County, but we can at least burble around like a regular human being. The suspension has racing-style rod ends for the control arms plus stiff springs and anti-roll bars, and 265/30R-19 Michelin Pilot Sport PS3 tires are riding on 9.5 x 19-inch forged Polestar wheels, yet there's none of the ride harshness you expect. These days, compliance is the secret to cornering grip, and these adjustable Ohlins dampers are dialed in.
Father Physics loves inline-six engines (and V-12s, too) because the forces line up in a way that minimizes vibration, and he seems to especially love the Volvo six. Polestar is proud that this engine is straight out of the Volvo parts bins except for the forged connecting rods, while the Garrett 3171 turbocharger, CNC-machined aluminum intake manifold, and 3.5-inch-diameter Ferrita exhaust take care of the pressurized air that helps create 508 hp @ 6500 rpm and 424 lb-ft of torque @ 5500 rpm.
The shift linkage of the close-ratio, six-speed Getrag M66C transmission feels a little loose and notchy, but it's not bad, and the fly-by-wire throttle blips automatically on downshifts. The six-piston Brembo calipers for the 15.0-inch front disc brakes look intimidating, yet the pad compound proves friendly.
The 3615-pound Volvo S60 Polestar drives like a small car, not a large one. The 20mm-wider track in front and 40mm-wider track in the rear add poise to the platform, and there's cornering magic in the Haldex-4 all-wheel-drive system, notably the force-vectoring, electronic limited-slip differential in the rear.
Naeslund tells us that the secret to driving this car fast on the track is to switch on the stability control, brake early, and then slew the car into the corner so the stability control is triggered and the dashboard is bright with warning lights. Electronics are great at sensing the limits of cornering grip these days, but the trick apparently lies in timing their engagement, which is something we've also heard from ALMS drivers who have raced the Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid and SRT Viper GTS-R.
Naturally all this makes us think of Polestar as Volvo's answer to Mercedes-Benz AMG. While the comparison is apt, Naeslund reminds us that we're really talking about only a dozen Polestar people embedded within Volvo. However, AMG started out as just a two-man race shop in an old mill in Burgstall near its current factory in Affalterbach, Germany. Volvo and Polestar believe that big things lie ahead. After driving the 2013 Volvo S60 Polestar, we think so, too.

University community welcomes Corzine on inauguration day
The Princeton campus community welcomed Jon Corzine on the day of his inauguration as New Jersey's 54th governor.
Hours before his inauguration on Jan. 17, Corzine spoke in the University Chapel at a morning prayer service, which featured remarks by some 20 clergy members from around New Jersey representing a wide range of faiths. The governor's inaugural ball was held that evening in Jadwin Gymnasium.
"It is wonderful to be here in this magnificent chapel and this great university, which represents so much of what is good in New Jersey and in the nation," Corzine said at the morning service.
Princeton President Shirley M. Tilghman offered a welcoming address at the interfaith service, noting the historical connections between the University and the governor's office. Eleven Princeton alumni have served as New Jersey's governor, including former University and U.S. President Woodrow Wilson (class of 1879), Brendan Byrne (class of 1949) and Thomas Kean (class of 1957).
"For our University community, the inauguration of a new governor is an event of more than 'academic' interest. From the time of Princeton's founding in 1746, the governors of New Jersey have been ex officio trustees, and since 1945, they have officially been our neighbors, first at Morven and now at Drumthwacket," Tilghman said, referring to two historical governor's residences close to the Princeton campus.
Tilghman said that the University community looks forward to working with Corzine. "We salute his commitment to public service and hope that his example will inspire others to enter lives of public service," she said. "Like him, we are anxious to make New Jersey a better place for all, sharing our knowledge and resources with its people, its industries and institutions and, of course, its government."
In addition to the speakers, the service featured musical selections by an adult gospel choir from many New Jersey churches and a Jewish children's choir from Lawrenceville. Corzine thanked them for an "extraordinary demonstration of our faith as a people."
Corzine, who served as U.S. senator from New Jersey since 2001 prior to taking office as governor, said that "the spirit and beauty of the pluralism that we have heard today" is reflective of the state itself. He offered a brief outline of the vision for his administration, emphasizing a focus on fiscal integrity, property tax reform, education, health care and safety.
"We must find the resources and the will to protect the vulnerable, even if it comes with a political price," he said. "New Jersey has always been a progressive state on both sides of the aisle, with progressive values, and I will work very hard to sustain those values."

Your letters:
I'm a lawyer, but I work at a newspaper. If there were a nuclear holocaust, I'm fairly certain I do not have one useful skill/talent based on my profession alone. I'm a waste of a human being and need to learn some skills.
But it got me thinking about all of my friends and which of them might actually have useful skills. I'm fairly torn about how to rank them in usefulness...obviously doctors are king, but then what? What about mechanics or accountants...Are there any other useful professions?
How would you rank different professions?
This is why, in general, most writer-types like Jonathan Franzen are insufferable human beings, because they actually think that what they do is important when the reality is that they're remarkably unproductive.
You need to read World War Z for a decent breakdown of which people are the most important in the event of a worldwide catastrophe. But in the event that we have to rebuild human civilization from the ground up, here is a basic breakdown of vital personnel:
· Doctors. As you said, obvious. Veterinarians also apply here because horses would need to be cared for.
· Nurses.
· Military personnel. People who are skilled with arms and have critical experience surviving in harsh environs. If there were a zombie apocalypse tomorrow and some guy in fatigues started bossing me around, I'd obey him without question because I am a sheep. Oh, you need me to build a dike? I see where you're going with this!
· Hunters. Because meat will be so very precious. I read Endurance, by Alfred Lansing, the classic book that tells the story of Ernest Shackleton's fateful Antarctic voyage. Their ship got trapped in ice and they were forced to live on the ice for months and months before splitting into two groups, with one group sailing across the Drake Passage—the single most deadly stretch of water on Earth—and then scaling a fucking mountain on the island of South Georgia to find help. Read that book and you will be DYING to eat a penguin by page 150. Hunters are important.
· Mechanics.
· Carpenters.
· Engineers.
· Farmers.
· Cooks. But let's not glorify chefs more than they've already been glorified. In a future wasteland, I don't need Aaron Sanchez bitching at everyone about using organic toe-mah-teeeee-yos. What we need is the kind of chef you find on a commercial fishing boat, one of those meth addict guys who can whip up a meal for 80 people quickly and without being a pretentious dick about it.
· Teachers/child caregivers. "Children, this is why your parents were incinerated last year."
· Brewers and/or distillers. And I don't mean this flippantly. We really will need people to help make alcohol. We think of booze as a luxury, even a vice. But in the cold, ashy nuclear winter, having a capable brewer would likely mean the difference between hope and despair. Sometimes, people truly NEED to have a drink.
· Blacksmiths.
· Seamstresses.
· Electricians.
· Guys who can, like, build computers and stuff.
· Hookers.
· Laborers.
I'm sure I've missed some, but those jobs represent the building blocks of human society. Every other job out there—writer, politician, ESPN studio analyst, lawyer, drummer—that's the window dressing. That's the shit people get to do as a result of the foundation laid by the group above. Jonathan Franzen will NEVER be more important than a hooker. We NEED hookers. We don't need 500-page novels about troubled white people.
I was watching the Browns and Ravens, and Josh Cribbs was down on the field with players and staff crowded around. I found myself wondering, "Will this be the game? Will this be the one where somebody dies on the field?" It's gotta happen eventually, right? Say it happens on a Sunday during an early game. Does the Ginger Meat Puppet cancel any games that day? I'm betting the death game would be cancelled, but no other games would be affected, other than the obligatory moment of silence. Do you think the game changes in any kind of meaningful way if a player dies? Will Easterbrook manage to get even more insufferable?
I don't know that a player dying on the field is a mortal lock. The only NFL player to die on the field was Chuck Hughes back in 1971, and Hughes died from a heart attack, not a vicious hit. And this was back in an age of poorer equipment and far more lenient rules when it came to helmet-to-helmet contact. Players may be bigger and faster and stronger now, but it takes a whole lot to literally kill someone on the field with a hit. Football isn't designed to kill you instantly. It's designed to kill you nice and slow. If anything, new helmets and other equipment are designed to reduce maximum damage on initial impact, so that you can then go out and take even more terrible hits, building up one internal injury after another, injuries that will quickly cripple you and eventually kill you by age 46. But if a player gives you a thumbs up from his gurney, then you are officially absolved from worry.
It's worth noting that the Chuck Hughes game was not canceled. They played the rest of that game with one of its participants stone dead. And that was back in a less media-savvy age. As we discussed back in the "Hey, what if Nick Swisher dies?" edition of the Funbag, if an NFL player were to die on the field, you would NEVER hear him declared officially dead until after the game. And there's no way the NFL would cancel any other games. They'd have a moment of silence and then move on. We can't have any vital disruptions of an NFL team's subcontracting agreement with Sysco industrial catering.
The long-range effects of such a death would probably be more media hand-wringing and sincere missives from people saying, "I just can't watch football anymore!" And then everyone would hate those people and we'd all watch more football just to spite them.
But for real, don't delude yourself in to thinking an on-field death is right around the corner. Which is too bad, because I LIVE FOR THE DANGER.
So the other day I was at the 9/11 Memorial and this punk European kid was lying on the engraved stones on the reflection pool because it appeared that even though 3,000 Americas died not even that long ago, he couldn't give a shit. Not to mention that a few feet away, a mom was clearly crying and lying flowers at her son's name. Does that asshole know he was sitting on the name of someone who died? Did I fail epically as an American for not kicking his ass right then and there?
It depends. Was he lying against the stones in an assholish way? Because there are some people who merit a punch in the face merely by lying there, breathing out of their mouths and being insufferable without saying a single word. It also matters if he was carrying a skateboard, because there WILL be an idiot high school kid who one day tries to grind the memorial. SO XTREEEEEEM. If he was sitting there with his feet propped up making bawdy jokes in Czech with his asshole Czech friends, I can understand wanting to destroy him.
HOWEVAH, as time passes and we get decades and decades away from the attacks, that memorial will become part of the natural landscape. Children who were born long after the attacks will probably sit on the stones, talk with friends, and treat the area as a more practical space than you or I might. In fact, the man who designed the memorial, Michael Arad, intended it to be this way: "It's also going to be a place where people might come to, just by walking out the door of their office building … and sit on a bench like that with a friend and talk for a few minutes... And maybe behind them you'll see some kids that are growing up in the neighborhood sitting on the grass with their mother, with their caretaker." I think Arad wanted the space to be both a holy site and a place where some of the everyday vitality of New York could be reclaimed, the circle of life and all that. Those names aren't gonna mean as much to some asshole kid living 50 years from now because they can't. The tragedy doesn't carry over like that.
I went to Dachau once and when I was there, I got really hungry. So I sat down on an nearby bench and I ate a sandwich. And right in front of me was one of the crematoriums. And I had to pause for a moment to think about whether or not it was right of me to eat a sandwich mere feet away from where one of the greatest tragedies in the history of mankind took place. But I ate it anyway. In my defense, I was REALLY hungry.

I went to college with the Roger Goodell's nieces and it turns out that everyone in the family is a Giants fan, including big Rog himself. He takes over in 2006 and the Giants go on to win two Super Bowls with Eli absolutely pulling games and helmet catches out of his ass and Coughlin slobbering on his players on the sideline. And, it just so happens that the Super Bowl will be played in freezing cold and miserable North Jersey in 2014. Something smells gingery here...
It's a conspiracy! The ginger nieces know all!
Who would win in a fight, a shark with legs that can breath on land, or a bear with wings?
The bear because the bear has air superiority over the shark. Also, the shark with legs would still be without arms. It can only attack using its mouth and super shark leaping ability. I don't think that's enough to fend off the bear swooping in from various angles. Here is what a winged bear looks like. And here is what a running shark looks like. Obviously, the sweater makes things a bit biased, but still, FLYING BEAR WINS.
Now, I think we all need to think about what would happen if either of these animals were to become a reality. We all know about the dangers that DEATH HAWKS pose to modern society. But I think FLYING BEARS would be even more terrifying. A flying bear could land on your car! He could crush you using your own sunroof. Think about THAT. We have to stop the flying bears, people. I've heard NOTHING from either presidential candidate about Flying Bear prevention. Not to mention walking sharks and their tricky candygrams.
How would home run numbers be affected if there was no outfield wall? Completely eliminating the walls would allow line drives to roll forever. There has to be some mathematical formula to determine this, right? MLB should offer grant money for this research.
You can only hit a ball so far, so I have to think that a lot of potential home runs would be run down by today's outfielders, who are really fucking fast. The nice thing about getting rid of the outfield walls is that you could finally have a real answer for home run distances. No more guessing that a 500-foot home run is a 500-foot home run. Now you have a divot. Every home run would be a test of the runner's speed versus the outfielder's ability to run down a ball that's gone past him. And the outfielder would have to run over and around fans having picnics at the outer edges, which I think would add a delightful wrinkle to the game.
I was in a meeting today and some co-worker next to me was eating an apple. It was the most annoying noise I ever heard coming out of someone's mouth. He sat there all happy like he was a health god while taking one big crunching bite after another and then proceeding to chew with his mouth open like a cow. I wanted to grab it out of his hand and throw it against the wall. What is the most annoying food to listen to someone eat?
The obvious answer is chips because you get both the crunch of the chips and the crinkle of the bag. And chips are a background food, which means people eat them while you're trying to watch TV or listen to your divorce lawyer explain your settlement, and that can be really distracting. There are even louder foods, like noodle soups that you have to slurp and shit (and I always like to use the "THEY DO IT THIS WAY IN ASIA" excuse to slurp noodles as loudly as I possibly can; it makes me cultured), but those are often consumed in a restaurant setting, where everyone is focused on eating and such noises aren't as distracting.
I promise you that your office worker's apple crimes are nothing compared to the sounds that children make while eating. Hand my kid a straw and you're in for an hour of pain. It's the goddamn worst. PUT MORE LIQUID IN YOUR GLASS OR I WILL THRASH YOU.
Dr. K:
Of all the hostile territories (for a citizen of the US) on earth, where you do think going would get you murdered the fastest?
Not parachuting into a minefield or an active combat zone, but say you were to wake up one day in Mogadishu, Kabul, Homs, etc. Just you and the clothes on your back, in public, no place to hide.
I feel like Syria's a sexy pick right now.
I worked in an office that had a travel guide called The World's Most Dangerous Places in the shitter, and I re-read the passages for the highest rated (and therefore most terrifying) countries multiple times, constantly picturing myself being held prisoner in a Khartoum jail cell.
As you might expect, places like Sudan, Chechnya, North Korea, and Colombia populated the list. But that was an old edition. You can go online and now find updated ratings for all global hotspots. Currently, 13 countries get Robert Young Pelton's prized four-skull rating: Afghanistan, Bahrain, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, Lesotho, Congo, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Haiti, Lebanon, Libya, Sudan, and Syria. It is not White Boy Day in any of the aforementioned nations. And you may as well add Iran, North Korea, Egypt, and dozens more to the list. After all, you're not built to survive a country that gets ANY skull rating, much less four.
Personally, I find North Korea the most terrifying of the bunch. You walk into North Korea, you're probably not walking back out. You just fucking disappear. It's scary as shit.
You have to choose to between being 3'9" or 7'11", nothing will be made to fit you, you must learn to adapt and go on with your life.
The first impulse is to choose being a giant, because a.) DUNKING! and b.) you get to look down on all the pathetic short people. But I don't know if all that's worth it, because being that tall means living a life of perpetual discomfort. You can't really travel. You can barely fit in any automobile. You have to constantly duck while going through doorways. Kissing women will be an exercise in high comedy. Your feet will ache under the strain. Your back will suffer. As someone who dealt with chronic pain, I can tell you that all of that shit is unpleasant.
And that's just the physical discomfort. There's nowhere to hide when you're nearly eight feet tall. Everyone will hear you eating that apple and know it's you because you stick out two feet above your cubicle wall. Children will scream at the sight of you. You'll retreat into a shell of sullen depression that will soon be impossible to shake off.
Then again, at least you're not some short asshole. So I'd probably take the tall thing.
What are the other things you watch your kids eat, counting down the seconds until their attention is called elsewhere and you can descend? Or, even better, things to skim off the top. Daddy Tax, as it were. Top four:
1) Ice cream cones
2) Tater tots
3) Smoked turkey legs. Actually, first bite of all carnival food is fair game.
4) Frosted animal crackers
On the ABSOLUTELY NEVER scale:
1) Drinks. Backwash city.
2) Those pouches of proto-fruit goo
3) Soup
4) Bananas
Chicken nuggets and fish sticks are big. I'll put the fish sticks in front of my kid and they'll look all crunchy and golden brown and I'll be like I MUST HAVE YOU, so I keep badgering the kids with, "Are you done? Are you done? Cause I'm gonna eat this shit if you're done," and then I start eating it anyway because kids take FOREVER to eat. Then the kid cries because there are no fish sticks left and I'm like LIFE WAITS FOR NO ONE, FUCKO. And then we all go to bed angry. But it's worth it because fish sticks are tasty. I'm always heartbroken when the child eats everything. I'm supposed to be happy, and I try to praise them. But secretly, I curse myself for not making double fish sticks.
KraftMac is also good. I just eat that shit straight from the pot. Cook enough KraftMac and you will quickly realize that different shapes make different amounts. When we make shells & cheese, there's plenty of leftovers for daddy. But a box of Annie's bunny shapes don't make SHIT. Beware.
Children also fear new foods, so be sure to order a full entrée for them at any restaurant and then eat that entrée as a third course because you paid for it and you deserve it.
If this isnt foreshadowing of a shitty day, I don't know what is.
Aw, I like it! Very clever.
Are multi vitamins at all useful, or just an excuse for me to have gummys right when I wake up?
Another fine food to swipe from your own children. I bet they don't even have vitamins in them at all. Big Vitamin knows how to keep you in its thrall. By the way, don't buy the gummy vitamins that look like sour patch kids. Your child will be dead of a vitamin D overdose by morning. Real dangerous shit.
My wife accidentally bought something called "sea gummies" once, a brand of gummy vitamins for children that included Omega-3, the acid contained in many kinds of fish oil. And these gummies SMELLED like fish. I opened up the bottle and nearly passed out in horror.
So my Dad died a few weeks ago. Tragic, but we had many good years with Dad and life moves on. Now I'm doing lots of things to help out - assembling the estate paperwork, making sure the trash gets taken out, and trying to save my mother the heartbreak of having to handle every single personal possession he ever had.
One of the first things I did was to get into his closet and get the porn collection. I haven't lived at home since before college, but I damn sure knew where he kept it in the old days and so I had to check before Mom came across it on her own.
I'm wondering what the right move is with this stash. My Dad was old school, keeping a revolving collection of tasteful nudie magazines. How does one properly keep the stuff away from prying eyes while properly respecting the dead?
For my part, I went old school myself - took the whole pile upstairs to my old bedroom, found a few choice pictures and wailed away for a few minutes, just like when I was 12. Then I put the whole pile in a box and dropped them off in the mixed paper recycling dumpster at my office. No evidence survives.
Was I wrong? Should I have done differently? If so, what's the right thing to do?
I'm surprised you were able to successfully fap without picturing your late father doing likewise, or without thinking he's looking down on you from heaven. I guess he'd be proud. Proud and horrified. If you really wanted to be daring, you could scream out THIS ONE'S FOR YOU, DAD just as you bust. Lot of conflicted emotions in doing something like that.
But no, I think you did the right thing by getting rid of the evidence and moving on. It's just a pile of porn magazines. It's not a family heirloom. It's not as if you could have it framed and put it on your nightstand to look at any time you want to think fondly of him. Trashing that shit is what Dad would have wanted. I assume in heaven, God lets you access all of your old porn anyway. He'd be a real dick if he didn't.
Email of the week time! It's a GREAT MOMENT IN ROACH KILLING.
I felt the urge to take a huge shit, I went to sit down on the toilet and right before anything was coming out, I noticed out the corner of my eye one of the biggest, meanest, most nastiest looking roaches I have ever seen in my life in the corner near the door. Right when I saw it I almost leaped off the toilet and started screaming like a baby, but what happened instead was I had the shit scared out of me, literally. All of the backed up shit from today just came rushing out in one clean splunk into the toilet. I immediately grabbed the toilet paper, not to wipe my ass, but to crush that damn roach.
I knew that I was probably going to have shit hanging from my ass and it would probably go all over the floor, but this roach took immediate priority. It was my duty to kill this thing and make sure it did not crawl into my bedroom (which is near the bathroom) and then lay eggs somewhere near or in my body when I went to sleep, even though if I didn't catch this god awful thing right now I was never going to sleep again having waking nightmares about this thing.
So, I went to go crush the damn thing, but it hopped up and then flew towards the door. I was able to block it by going for a crush again, the thing then went into this crack by the bathroom sink (damn those loose baseboards in houses, hiding all the bugs you want to catch). It was nowhere to be seen, I then sat back on the toilet and went to wipe my ass. I was paranoid the whole time that the roach was going to crawl out of that hole and then make a beeline straight to my hole... Luckily it didn't.
After I got my ass all clean, I went into the hall closet and grabbed the bug spray (forgot to flush the toilet). My thought process was that if this roach was in the hole hopefully it hasn't burrowed far into the house and that maybe I can get bug spray in there and by some off chance send this thing to a slow painful death. I then sprayed the hole, but all that happened was the roach came flying out of there, not even stunned by the bug spray, and was running around the bathroom like a bat out of hell. Luckily for me it wasn't going anywhere it could escape this time, so I grabbed the small trash can near in the bathroom and started trying to crush the fucker. Being the monster that it is I took about 15 to 20 whacks at the thing before it even started to slow down. Eventually it was gimping around like Jay Cutler in the 4th quarter. I was able to get a wad of toilet paper again and I crushed it up. I then noticed that I didn't flush the toilet at the time and dropped the body into the massive shit I just took. I then watched as that thing sunk into the shit like quicksand, and looked over this victory with pride as the monster cockroach was drowning in my own fecal matter. Take that bugs, you don't fuck with this man anymore!
This must have happened at the new Cowboys stadium.

Anatomical landmarks, front view
There are three body views (front, back and side) that may be helpful if you are uncertain of a body area. Many areas are referred to by both descriptive and technical names. For example, the back of the knee is called the popliteal fossa. However, areas like the "flank" may not have both names, so the location may be unclear.

Linda Yohn
Linda Yohn simply cannot remember a day in her life that was not filled with music. Her early life was full of changes as the daughter of a well-respected cancer research scientist who moved his family about, but one thing was constant: the love of music instilled by her mother. So, when it seemed life was too hard to bear, young Linda would listen to her radio, play her guitar, dance her heart out and sing at the top of her lungs. So, it isn't so strange that "older" Linda still does all those things!
Linda's jazz life is one well-lived. In her early days, she scuffled at four or five jobs at a time in Columbus, Ohio to make ends meet while she taught herself the craft of jazz radio. There were no women role models, so each time she missed the mark, she'd get back up and try it again, vowing never to repeat that mistake. In Kent Ohio, she learned the ropes of public radio and made many strong national musical friendships that she keeps today. A brief stint in New York as a professional music publicist taught Linda the value of making deadlines and keeping promises. Through out all these early experiences, listening to jazz and blues in clubs and concerts kept Linda's eyes on the prize of one day working professionally full-time in jazz radio.
To be able to go to work every day and get paid to play music on WEMU is a dream job come true for Linda Yohn. She still feels like she should pinch herself just to make sure it is for real. Even though Linda has been with WEMU since 1987 as music director, it is a position she does not take for granted. "The trust placed in a WEMU host by listeners is a rare and beautiful thing. To know that you, your voice and your musical choices can make or break a listener's day is an awesome responsibility. As I review a new recording, I try to gauge the effect it will have on someone in their home, car or office. If the music is lacking in feeling, purpose, joy, message, meaning or craftsmanship, we will not play it on WEMU. I believe 100 percent that music is a powerful healing tool."
Metaphysics aside, Linda Yohn knows that radio requires precision and attention to detail. When you listen to "89.1 Jazz" with Linda, you hear a relaxed woman comfortable in her own skin. But to reach this ease, Linda spends considerable time planning her program down to the second of each hour so that you get 55 minutes of high quality, intriguing music in between NPR news breaks. It's a lot harder than it sounds! But, it is lots of fun, too.
Linda's attention to detail, professionalism and commitment to great music on the radio has not gone un-noticed by her national colleagues. She has been nominated repeatedly for the Willis Conover-Marian McPartland Award for Excellence In Jazz Journalism by the Jazz Journalists Association. In 2006 she received the highest honor from her peers at the annual JazzWeek Summit: The Duke Dubois Jazz Humanitarian Award. Linda is always a first-call panelist and presenter at international jazz conferences and meetings. Perhaps the conference organizers call on Linda because her on-line postings on national jazz bulletin boards are timely, informative, creative and passionate. Linda represents WEMU, Ann Arbor, Eastern Michigan University and Detroit well on the national scene.
While the national awards and accolades are notable and humbling, it is the love of the unique listening community of Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti and the Detroit environs that truly fuels Linda's public radio music flame. She gives freely of her time to Jazzistry, The University Musical Society, The Eastern Michigan University Jazz Ensemble, The Michigan Jazz Festival, The Ann Arbor Summer Festival, The Ypsilanti District Library, The Detroit International Jazz Festival. The Detroit Blues Society, The American Cancer Society and many other organizations. "You get what you give back." says Linda. I love volunteering in the community. I learn what is important to people and what to play and say when I'm on the air. When I "MC" a show, I keep my ears open and listen to what the musicians have to say and take that back to listeners. It's all about serving them with the right music, information and giving attitude."
Linda believes in life-long learning. While she appreciates the music of all the greats: Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Ella Fitzgerald, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Louis Armstrong, Jimmy Smith, Miles Davis, Count Basie, Art Blakey, Betty Carter, Nat King Cole, Charlie Parker and Lester Young, she knows that jazz is music of the moment. She seeks out the best electrifying new talents in jazz, blues and Latin music today to keep jazz and blues fans on top of new musical trends.
With Linda Yohn's ears, heart and soul working for them, WEMU listeners are in great hands in the morning Monday through Friday on 89.1.

Growing Challenges, Lack of Political Will
14 July 2009 sees the first anniversary of the Union for the Mediterranean. Taking stock, the picture is bleak. The quantum leap in regional cooperation that France's President Nicolas Sarkozy intended has yet to be taken. The collaboration under the new title of "Union for the Mediterranean" is hampered by the same problems as the European Union's previous policy on the region.
No answers as yet to major challenges
The challenges of the Mediterranean region have been on the table for years: the consequences of climate change for the region and a growing demand for energy; the wealth gap and the increasing pressure of migration; terrorism and other security problems associated with the repressive nature of some of the local regimes. On top of all these issues, pollution of the Mediterranean, drinking water shortages and the destruction and pollution of natural habitats and agricultural areas in the coastal areas remain serious problems for most states bordering on the Mediterranean – problems that cannot be dealt with on a solely national basis.
Despite various bilateral and European approaches to cooperation, there are still no effective political answers to tacking these challenges. This is a major problem, as the current financial and economic crisis is likely to intensify the region's social and economic instabilities.
Political collaboration between the EU and the southern Mediterranean states is not a new invention. In 1995 the European Union intensified its policies in the region with what was called the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (also referred to as the "Barcelona Process") and strengthened institutionalised relations between the European Union (EU) and its neighbouring countries in the southern Mediterranean in the form of agreements on trading and cooperation.
A permanent parliamentary body, the Euro-Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly, was established. The EU also intensified bilateral relations to several states on the southern edge of the Mediterranean from 2004 on.
Milestones and hurdles
With these existing provisions in mind, the Union for the Mediterranean was founded in 2008. The aim was to provide new impetus for cooperation, launching specific projects to underline existing policies in certain areas and strengthening collaboration structures by creating a co-chairmanship and a general secretariat.
Initial milestones on the way to setting up the Union for the Mediterranean were reached at the end of last year. The newly established co-chairs, fielded by France and Egypt, are now in office. At a meeting of the foreign ministers involved in November 2008, Barcelona was also selected as the location for the secretariat. Preparations for the first projects to accompany the Barcelona Process have begun, for instance on maritime security or solar energy.
However, the collaboration then came to a near standstill for months. The escalating Middle East conflict at the end of 2008 meant that not only the policy meetings but also the cooperation itself on the working level were put on ice. "Due to the Middle East crisis, no meetings of the Mediterranean Union are currently taking place," the German foreign office stated in response to an enquiry from the German parliament in February 2009.
Tricky diplomatic relations
Meetings on the policy and the working level were in fact halted in response to pressure from some Arab countries. The "permanent joint committee" in Brussels for example, set up at the founding summit to ensure fast reactions in the event of crises, did not meet up in the first quarter of 2009.
At the opening summit of the Union for the Mediterranean, held in Paris in July 2008, the 43 participating states had worked around the subject of the Middle East conflict by refraining from issuing a policy statement. The foreign ministers' conference in November 2008 saw the Israeli and Arab sides struggling for compromises. Firstly, the secretariat was not set up in an Arab country, in response to pressure from certain Arab states. As some states saw it, this would have meant too great a normalisation of relations with Israel.
Secondly, the status of the Arab League was clarified. It can now attend all Mediterranean Union meetings but has no right to vote, with Israel promised the post of vice-secretary general in return for this concession. Yet this initial willingness to cooperate on the part of the Arabs and Israelis collapsed in the face of the Israeli bombings of Gaza in December 2008.
Not an equal partnership
Four further challenges are hampering cooperation in the Mediterranean region, alongside the Arab-Israeli conflict. The first is that no equal partnership has been established between the northern and southern states. The Mediterranean Union is still seen in the southern region primarily as an EU project, if not as a project of French political interests.
This is almost certainly partly due to the French president's communication and approach, but is equally down to a lack of initiative and the current blockade attitude taken by certain countries on the southern shores of the Mediterranean. Turkey is also taking a cautious stance, hoping to prevent the Mediterranean Union from becoming an alternative to its controversial chance of EU membership.
Low potential for transformation
Secondly, it is doubtful whether the current approach sufficiently supports social and political change in the region, which will be necessary to increase stability and political reliability on the Mediterranean in the long term. When France formulated its first proposals for a Mediterranean Union, observers were astounded by the apparent departure from political conditionality – there was no attempt to tie cooperation with the southern Mediterranean states to conditions (such as observation of constitutional norms).
From the very outset, the Union for the Mediterranean accordingly favoured project cooperation above major policy ventures, for example on respect of human rights and implementing constitutional principles. This contradicts the aims of the previous Barcelona Process, which understood Europe's involvement in the region primarily as a contribution to transforming the economic and political systems in the southern Mediterranean area.
Security risk: de-politicisation
Yet the de-politicisation of the EU's Mediterranean policy taking place within the project-focused cooperation, coupled with an insufficiently developed involvement of civil society in the southern Mediterranean states, is unlikely to be promote transformation, and may even reduce transformative potential. A policy that does not seriously support transformation processes, however, will do no favours to the EU member states' medium and long-term security interests.
And finally, the current economic and financial crisis presents a major challenge for the success of the EU's Mediterranean policy. A majority of the planned projects are based on mobilising promotional loans, private funding and state financing in the region. But the crisis has reduced solvency and willingness to finance such projects. So it is unlikely that the existing EU budget for Mediterranean policy – some 16 billion euro from 2007 to 2013 – will be significantly boosted by any additional funding.
In contrast, the economic and social tensions in the region – and the resulting pressure of migration, among other factors – look set to take a major leap as a direct consequence of the crisis. Added to that, tight state finances may well reduce willingness to invest in the environment, infrastructure, energy and education in the region. This would have a negative effect on the development opportunities of the southern Mediterranean states.
Shifting focus
The future of Mediterranean policy depends not only on developments in the region itself, but also on the importance the EU accords to its respective neighbouring regions in future. Traditionally, attention tends to switch between the South and the East, depending on which EU country holds the presidency of the European Council. Under Germany's presidency in the first half of 2007, attention was focused almost exclusively on the East. In 2008, Paris shifted the focus to the South.
The pendulum is now set to swing back to the North-East, if the current Czech presidency and from July 2009 the Swedish term in office are to press on with the Eastern Partnership proposed by Sweden and Poland.
This regional focus is understandable, given the respective geopolitical interests of the EU member states. Yet the challenge that remains is to find a balance between the geographical regions acceptable for all European partners, and to overcome the greatest hurdles for cooperation.

Hewlett-Packard's senior VP and head of its Software Enterprise Security Products, Art Gilliland, is speaking today at the RSA Security conference in San Francisco. Security is turning out to be one of those small but bright spots within HP in its long, slow but encouraging turnaround effort. During last week's earnings conference call, CEO Meg Whitman said that security products within the software unit experienced double-digit revenue growth.
Whitman didn't get more specific, and yes, that growth would have to be off a small base relative to the rest of HP. But I've been sort of positive on security as an opportunity for HP for a while. Remember that over the last few years, HP has beefed up its security assets via acquisition: It has TippingPoint by way of its acquisition of the networking company 3Com, and it also bought ArcSight, a security software firm.
So with this in mind, I had a quick chat with Gilliland a few minutes before he was to take the stage at RSA.
Gilliland said it's time for the security industry to start thinking about ways that it can disrupt the steps in the process that attackers follow as they break into corporate systems and steal data. "The industry needs to focus on the adversary in a little different way than it has in the past. We spend a lot of time on the actors themselves, and we don't spend enough time focusing on the marketplace in which they participate. That marketplace behaves in a very specific way."
Attackers, Gilliland said, are good at sharing and monetizing intelligence, much better, in fact, than the security industry itself. Because of that, he suggests a few things.
First, build new capabilities to disrupt the attackers' processes at every stage. "We spend most of our budgets on literally one step of their process. We spend five times more on the break-in stage than we do on any other stage," he said. Disrupt all the steps in that process, he argued, and you make it more costly and difficult for attackers to do what they do.
Big Data can help focus on the other two areas. The second piece is finding attackers while they still have access to the system — that is, after they've broken in but before they've made off with whatever it is they're trying to steal. "That's the most damaging stage, and so we need to focus more energy there," Gilliland told me. "We need to find them after they've gotten in but before they've stolen any data. As an industry, we're pretty bad at that."
Finally, he'd like to challenge the industry to harness the cloud and big data technologies to build a security- and intelligence-sharing infrastructure. Such an approach would help companies share the expense, while benefiting from each other's experiences. "We could use those technologies for collective security. We can collaborate together, and big data allows us to consume massive amounts of data. If we do that effectively, I think we can win."

J-Roll Comes Through
Clutch hitting was lagging on Tuesday night and for six innings on Wednesday night. But, two pinch-RBI and Shane's solo homer produced three runs and tied the game, 3-3, after eight. J-Roll then came through with a two-out, two-run game-winning single in the top of the ninth and the Phillies left Miami with a 5-3 win.
Cliff once again pitched well enough to win but with him on the mound, the Phillies have only scored in four innings out of 43 innings. Last time the Phillies scored with him on the mound was the sixth inning on April 20. His next start will be Monday night in St. Louis, meaning he'll have gone over a month since his last win, April 14. Hard to believe, Harry.
A pulled hamstring by Schneider cost Lee a run and perhaps a win. Lee singled to center in the fifth inning but Schneider, trying to score from second, pulled up lame rounding third base. R-Roll made the third out and the Phillies remained scoreless.
Clearwater Trifecta
Chase, Chooch and Roy-O are scheduled to play for the Clearwater Threshers on Thursday night, a day off for the big league Phillies. Game time against Palm Beach is 7 p.m. and plenty of tickets are available.
With Schneider probably headed for the DL, Chooch could come off that list on Friday, if everything goes fine on Thursday.
In games in which the Phillies have scored four or more runs, they are 16-2. Three or under, 8-10 . . . Phillies are 19-4 in last 23 games at Sun Life Stadium. Marlins get a new ballpark next year but Phillies will be sad to see Sun Life go . . . On get away games, Phillies are 7-1 . . . When out-hitting the opponent, they are 18-4.
Down On The Farm
Lehigh Valley won its third straight in Toledo, 8-1. RF Domonic Brown extended his AAA hitting streak to 16 games (dating back to 2010) . . . RHP Austin Hyatt (5-1) gave up 2 runs in 6.2 innings as Reading ended a two-game losing streak in Trenton, 7-3. 1B Matt Rizzotti, 3 hits, including his sixth homer . . . C Sebastian Valle homered over the Tiki Pavilion roof in Clearwater's 5-2 morning win over Palm Beach. RHS Justin Friend is 12-12 in saves . . . Lakewood also played a morning game in Greensboro and won 7-5. 1B Jim Murphy hit his 9th homer and set a Lakewood career record with his 24th homer. RHR Tyler Knigge pitched 3 hitless, scoreless innings for his first pro win.
What Would You Have Done?
What profession or occupation might you have chosen if you didn't play baseball? The question has been posed to Phillies Alumni.
"For the longest time as a kid, I thought I wanted to be a veterinarian, then I found out how many years of college it would take! Scrapped that idea. Now I want to be the next PHANATIC!", LHP Dan Plesac (2002-03).

A Confederate soldier and a Union soldier shake hands, marking the reunion of the country after the devastation of the Civil War. A cotton plant and a northern pine tree symbolize the South and the North, respectively. This is the first of Allyn Cox's three scenes. (1865)
The frieze in the Rotunda of the United States Capitol contains a painted panorama depicting significant events in American history. Thomas U. Walter's 1859 cross-section drawing of the new dome (constructed 1855-1863) shows a recessed belt atop the Rotunda walls with relief sculpture. Eventually it was painted in true fresco, a difficult and exacting technique in which the pigments are applied directly onto wet plaster. As the plaster cures the colors become part of the wall. Consequently, each section of plaster must be painted the day it is laid. The frieze is painted in grisaille, a monochrome of whites and browns that resembles sculpture. It measures 8 feet 4 inches in height and approximately 300 feet in circumference. It starts 58 feet above the floor.
The frieze is the work of three artists, Constantino Brumidi, Filippo Costaggini and Allyn Cox. It was designed by Brumidi, an Italian artist who studied in Rome before emigrating to America. Brumidi created a sketch for the Rotunda frieze in 1859 but was not authorized to begin work until 1877.

The ability of the commonly used stimulant methylphenidate (Ritalin) to speed recovery from general anesthesia appears to apply both to the inhaled gas isoflurane, as previously reported, and to the intravenous drug propofol. Members of the same Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) research team that reported the isoflurane study are publishing similar results for propofol in the May issue of Anesthesiology, and their paper has been issued online.
"Propofol is the most widely used intravenous general anesthetic, and there is currently no way to reverse its effects," says Ken Solt, MD, of the MGH Department of Anesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Medicine, the paper's corresponding author. "By finding that methylphenidate can reverse general anesthesia with propofol as well as with isoflurane, we show that it may be broadly applicable for waking patients up from different general anesthetic drugs."
The MGH team's previous study in the October 2011 issue of Anesthesiology showed that methylphenidate - known to affect arousal pathways in the brain and commonly used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - significantly decreased the amount of time it took for rats to recover from isoflurane anesthesia. The current study ran very similar experiments in which propofol, which has a different mechanism of action than isoflurane, was the anesthetic agent.
In the first experiments, animals that had lost consciousness after a single dose of propofol were given intravenous methylphenidate or saline, and those receiving methylphenidate recovered almost five minutes faster than those receiving saline. Administration of methylphenidate also induced signs of arousal - movement or standing up - in rats receiving a constant intravenous dose of propofol, while animals administered saline remained motionless. EEG readings of the brains of animals during constant infusion of a higher propofol dose showed that methylphenidate caused brain activity to shift back toward the awake state. The change persisted for up to 10 minutes, during which the animals showed signs of arousal like opening their eyes and kicking, although they did not stand up.
"Propofol can be a very dangerous drug because it can cause patients to stop breathing and their blood pressure to drop," Solt explains. "It is often used for sedation during procedures such as colonoscopies, and if patients get oversedated, methylphenidate may be useful in getting them to wake up and resume breathing and in restoring their blood pressure. In the operating room, where propofol can be administered for several hours, patients may take as long as an hour to recover. The ability to use methylphenidate to induce recovery could make general anesthesia safer and more efficient, and we're hoping to conduct a clinical trial in patients in the near future."
Solt is an assistant professor of Anæsthesia at Harvard Medical School. Additional authors of the Anesthesiology report are lead author Jessica Chemali, and co-authors Christa Van Dort, PhD, and Emery Brown, MD, PhD, all of the MGH Department of Anesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Medicine. The study was supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health.
Massachusetts General Hospital (www.massgeneral.org) founded in 1811, is the original and largest teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School. The MGH conducts the largest hospital-based research program in the United States, with an annual research budget of more than $750 million and major research centers in AIDS, cardiovascular research, cancer, computational and integrative biology, cutaneous biology, human genetics, medical imaging, neurodegenerative disorders, regenerative medicine, systems biology, transplantation biology and photomedicine.

Cliff Jordan
Cliff Craft LP
Happily, Blue Note Records and Michael Cuscuna have reissued this wonderfully relaxed recording, which dates from a very fertile period of the renowned jazz label's history. Tenor saxman Jordan was influenced by and shares influences with Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon, John Coltrane and Hank Mobley; the early inspiration of Lester Young can also be heard. On this date, the selection of tunes is pleasantly balanced between three originals, two bebop standards, and Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady." Trumpeter Art Farmer's playing is up to his usual high standard -- thoughtful, sensitive and technically brilliant. Pianist Sonny Clark is captured during the most prolific phase of his ten-year recording career; together with bassist George Tucker and drummer Louis Hayes, they create a solid, swinging and simpatico rhythm section. - AMG

Here is a look at the Cubs minor league affiliates on Monday, August 13. Daytona and Tennessee each had the night off.
The AZL Cubs just exploded pounding out 25 hits and scoring 17 runs beating Reds 17-7. I don't even know where to start with this one, except make sure to look at the full box score because I won't be able to mention all the awesome things that happened in this one. Albert Almora led the way going 5-for-6 with a triple, three runs scored, and three RBIs. Garrett Schlect had two doubles and drove in three and Daniel Lockhart hit his first home run and drove in three as well. Carlos Penalver was 4-for-6 with three runs scored and Yasiel Balaguert was the only Cub to not have a multi-hit game, but he did knock in three of his own. Trevor Gretzky, Shawon Dunston, and Justin Marra all had three hits a piece, with Dunston adding two RBIs and Marra driving in one. David Bote also had two hits. There I think I got through all of the offensive numbers. Paul Blackburn started, but did not have his best outing allowing four runs, three earned in two innings. On a positive Dillon Maples was spectacular pitching three scoreless innings allowing only two hits while striking out five. Chad Martin and Ryan Hartman also pitched in this landslide victory.
A nine run eighth was way too much for Boise to overcome losing 11-4 on Monday night. Jose Arias pitched six innings allowing two runs on six hits, while striking out four. He left in line for the win and after Willengton Cruz pitched a scoreless seventh things were looking good. Good turned to really bad when Hayden Simpson came on in relief. He had a terrible outing giving up eight run, six earned on six hits all the while only recording one out. He obviously took the loss as there was no way the Hawks were going to come back from that. Offensively speaking there were some good things to come out of the Monday nights loss. Jeimer Candelario was 3-for-4, raising his average to .294. Marco Hernandez had two hits of his own, including a triple and an RBI. Stephen Bruno and Wilson Contreras had a hit and an RBI a piece while Gioskar Amaya added two hits from the leadoff spot.
Peoria tied the game at two in the top of eighth, but gave one up in the bottom half and lost 3-2 to Beloit. Yao-Lin Wang started and pitched pretty good going six innings allowing two runs on three hits, walking one and striking out four. Austin Reed took the loss allowing one unearned run in his two innings of work. Jorge Soler went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored. Oliver Zapata added a double and an RBI on the evening. Zeke DeVoss, Chadd Krist, and Bijan Rademacher all had one hit a piece in the Chiefs loss on Monday.
Iowa's pitchers struggled big time in this one as the Cubs lost 14-7. Ryan Rowland-Smith started and took the loss giving up five runs in four inning. Jaye Chapman, Seth McClung and Brian Esposito all pitched and gave up multiple runs each. Jay Jackson was the only Cubs pitcher to come out unscathed recording two outs. Offensively speaking Tony Campana had a nice night going 3-for-4 with three runs scored and two stolen bases. Greg Rohan and Dave Sappelt each had a hit and two RBIs in the loss to Las Vegas on Monday night.

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Seattle Mariners received good news on all fronts Thursday.
Several hours after making two trades to help their run at an AL wild-card spot, the Mariners rallied for a 6-5 win over the Cleveland Indians on Mike Zunino's two-run homer in the eighth inning.
The win, along with the acquisitions of outfielders Austin Jackson and Chris Denorfia, resulted in a lot of smiles in the Mariners' clubhouse.
"We've played well all year," said Dustin Ackley, who hit a two-run homer in the third. "We've put ourselves in a position to be in it at the end and to add a couple of good players will be big for us."
Bryan Shaw (4-3) walked Kyle Seager to start the inning before Zunino, who also homered in Tuesday's win, hit a 2-0 pitch into the left-field bleachers for his 17th home run.
"There's a nice little porch over there in left," Zunino said. "Just enough to get them over, that's all I'm trying to do."
Joe Beimel (3-1) pitched one-third of an inning while Fernando Rodney worked the ninth for his AL-leading 30th save.
The Mariners bounced back from a 2-0 loss on Wednesday in which they were held to three hits by Corey Kluber.
"The guy last night had Cy Young stuff," said Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon. "Sometimes it's not the hitters. Tonight we had some pitches over the plate and we took advantage of them."
McClendon was confident there would be no carry over to Thursday's game.
"We've been doing that all year," he said. "We've been knocked down time and time again and we keep getting up."
Carlos Santana drove in two runs for Cleveland, including a go-ahead RBI single in the seventh that broke a 4-all tie.
Ackley had a two-run homer for the Mariners while Jason Kipnis hit a two-run shot for the Indians. Both home runs came in the third when the teams exchanged three-run rallies.
Ackley's homer was his first since May 11, a span of 234 plate appearances and gave Seattle a 3-1 lead. Robinson Cano hit his 400th career double in the third, and it scored a run.
Indians starter Zach McAllister, who hasn't won since April 21, didn't get through the fourth. He allowed four runs and eight hits in 3 1-3 innings.
Chris Young allowed four runs in 5 1-3 innings for Seattle.
Mariners: Right-hander Danny Farquhar was struck by a line drive in the right biceps off the bat of Chisenhall in the seventh. He fielded the ball and threw Chisenhall out, but was removed. McClendon said after the game he thought Farquhar was uninjured.
Indians: Left fielder Chris Dickerson (sore left knee) exited in the top of the third inning and is listed as day to day. Dickerson twisted his leg in the second while misplaying Kendrys Morales' double. He was replaced by Mike Aviles.
Seattle left-hander Roenis Elias (8-8) faces Orioles lefty Wei-Yin Chen (11-3) in the opener of a three-game series Friday in Baltimore. Elias' most recent start also came against the Orioles on July 27, taking a no-decision.
Cleveland continues its eight-game homestand Friday when right-hander Danny Salazar (3-4) takes on Rangers right-hander Jerome Williams (2-4). Salazar has won both of his starts since returning to the majors on July 22.
Seattle, which trails Toronto by three games for the AL's second wild-card spot, made two moves to boost the league's lowest-scoring offense. The Mariners acquired outfielder Denorfia from San Diego and then picked up Jackson from Detroit in a three-team trade that also involved Tampa Bay. Both are expected to join the team Friday in Baltimore.
Cleveland traded shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera to Washington. The deal came a day after the Indians traded opening day starter Justin Masterson to St. Louis.
McClendon is familiar with Jackson after being Detroit's hitting coach for eight years. He said Jackson will bat leadoff. "Offensively, look at his numbers," the manager said. "He's good on top of the order, he steals bases, and he's a veteran hitter. His teammates will love him." Jackson is batting .270 with nine stolen bases.

Last month I picked up my clothes from the Washeteria. I was psyched, walking home with that, "I have clean clothes to wear," feeling (you know the one). I got home, opened the cube shaped bag, it smelled so nice, even my underwear were folded! "What can I wear tomorrow?"
I stumbled upon a long blue, polyester skirt. "Hmmm, this definitely doesn't look like mine," (although having worn uniforms for 12 years I did feel a slight connection.)
Quickly I worried, "If I have someone else things I wonder if someone has anything of mine." I looked, my black skirt was missing.
A week later I went back to the Washeteria armed with barbaric Taglog sentences in my hand. "I pick up clothes Monday, black skirt missing. Blue skirt is not mine. " Several variations of these sentence fragments later she understood. I asked if anyone had returned it. "No Mam, wala" (this sentence has come to irritate me like no other.) She (Candy)looked puzzled and worried– "where could it be?" She looked around, opened up washing machines, dryers. It didn't look promising.
After a little while, Candy looked over at me and shook her head defeatingly . The room was still and in that moment I accepted I was not getting my skirt back. "Ok – next option," I thought to myself, "I need some sort of compensation here. I feel like I am being taken advantage of!" I asked Candy, "Since you lost my skirt ($30 US) can I have a free wash ($1 US)?" I thought I was being very reasonable. Candy did not understand at first so I asked her friend to translate. When it clicked, Candy shook her head and smiled, "no Mam." Again stillness, then I responded, "really,no?" Same answer, "No Mam' as she laughed. The laughing was killing me but it's a part of "smoothing the situation."Then she lit up as if she has just thought of the best idea in the world," I will take your cell phone number and text you if it comes back." I was not impressed.
As I stood there, part of me wanted to push the issue – the American in me wants to see a manager and owner! "Where is the customer service – are you kidding me? You'll call me if it comes in? – that should be a given!" Then the other part of me does not want to get this woman in trouble, knowing how hard it is to find a job in the Philippines. At this point Candy and her friend start trying so hard to befriend me – you are beautiful etc. – where do you live." I just now realize, after living here for 3 months, that this be-friending (which I think is a side-bar) is actually how many Filipinos do business, creating bonds and thus loyalty, if someone is your friend you don't tell their manager on them. You don't tell people not to go to that business. In a country where the corruption is so entrenched (2.1-2.7 confidence/trust rating – 9.5 is the highest) social connections and obligations often dictate the business culture – they are the ultimate business tool, almost a commodity. It's a cultural complexity that any organization or business operating in the Philippines must understand and navigate to some extent no matter how micro!
Needless to say, Candy texted me a lot in the coming weeks and not about my skirt, instead asking me to be her friend. I replied to a few texts but there was such a communication barrier it seemed pointless. Then she texted me about starting a business with her. Could I help her, what kind of business should she start, she had saved up some money? After speaking with my MFI (Kiva'a Microfinance Field Partner) ASKI, I recommended she go to the Department of Trade office run by the Philippine government and told her the address. I told her that ASKI could help provide support (trainings, business ideas) if she wanted a loan. (Like all healthy organizations, ASKI has boundaries. With money from Kiva lenders, other International donors, and interest, ASKI provides all types of business support services to borrowers. (Checkout ASKI borrowers currently funding on Kiva!! ) Then Candy wanted to meet and talk – talk? I can't understand you and you can't understand me? You lost my skirt – how could I run a business with you anyway? I had to decline and let the notion of saving Candy go. But when I think about business and Microfinance in the Philippines, Candy comes back.
In the moment, I decided not to sweat the small stuff (my skirt)– life happens. I did not report Candy to her Manager or make a fuss, but I could not help wonder if I was I really helping her. I'm not sure. Did I stop her from learning and growing from a mistake or did I help her family continue to have regular meals.
I did go back to the Washeteria eventually; Candy doesn't work there anymore. There was a new woman working there who returned all of my clothes. I gave her a tip.

Editor's Note: This story is from Nov. 24, 2009.
Search Google Images for "Michelle Obama" and you'll find this offensive image as the first hit.
The picture of a simian-style first lady that is rubbing some people the wrong way.
Google is aware of the offensive ape-like photograph, but there doesn't seem to be much the company can do about it, except to run advertisements that apologize for it and explain its prominent rank in search results, according to searchengineland.com.
U.S. & World
Google posted their apologetic ad at the top of its image search results pages.
"Sometimes Google search results from the Internet can include disturbing content, even from innocuous queries. We assure you that the views expressed by such sites are not in any way endorsed by Google.

Individual citizens and public interest groups do periodically urge us to remove particular links or otherwise adjust search results.

The Google Team"
The offensive picture first popped up last week, but Google removed it from their search function because the site that the picture was hosted on distributed malware.
Google's webmaster guidelines prohibit web sites that are ranked in their search results from promoting malicious behavior such as phishing or installing viruses.
However, the latest iteration does not pose the same virus threat, therefore Google is limited in its censorship capabilities.

Create a partition for OpenBSD in a multi-boot OS environment
Before you're going to advise me against doing it, I did read the advisory in 4.9 of "Multibooting OpenBSD (amd64, i386)" of http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#Multibooting
I just want to learn and I hope you will indulge me
First, I have only one SSD of about 240 GB.
Second, I have Ubuntu OS installed on /dev/sda1 (I don't know what it will be named on OpenBSD). sda1 contains all the /root, /home, /var/, /temp, /usr that Ubuntu will use. I didn't create a swap partition as I'm using an SSD. Grub2 has been installed on the MBR.
Third, I wish to install OpenBSD (amd64, US keyboard) on /dev/sda2. Again sda2 will contain all the /root, /home, /var, /temp, /usr that OpenBSD needs. I don't want to create a swap partition for OpenBSD OS. The reason is I'm using an SSD.
I met an obstacle during installation and I hope that you will help me out:
Use (W)hole disk or (E)dit the MBR? [whole] e You will now create a single MBR partition to contain your OpenBSD data. This partition must have an id of 'A6'; must *NOT* overlap other partitions; and must be marked as the only active partition. Inside the fdisk command, the 'manual' command describes all the fdisk commands in detail. Disk: sd0 geometry: 29185/255/63 [468862128 sectors) Offset: 0 Signature: 0xAA55 Starting Ending LBA Info: #: id C H S - C H S [start : size] *0: 83 0 32 33 - 3647 67 4 [2048 : 58591232] Linux files* 1: 83 3647 67 5 - 9118 40 10 [58593280 : 87889920] Linux files* 2: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [0 : 0 ] unused 3: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [0 : 0 ] unused Enter 'help' for information fdisk: 1>
I did consult the FAQs, 'man' pages and even typed in 'help' at the fdisk: 1> prompt before I posted this request for help. I couldn't make sense of all the parameters and options available with fdisk.
All I wish to do is create a 45 GB partition on /dev/sda2 of my SSD for OpenBSD (all the system files, /home, /temp, /user).
Thanks in advance for your help in this.

I cannot speak about Ubuntu, but, I currently dual boot Slackware64-current with OpenBSD 5.5 amd64. I used the Slackware install DVD to format my OpenBSD partition as type A6. Lilo plays very nice with OpenBSD. On my dual boot set-up these are my partitions using linux labels.
sda1 SWAP
sda2 /
sda3 /home
sda4 OpenBSD
Here is the little snippet that is added to the end of my /etc/lilo.conf
other = /dev/sda4
label = OpenBSD
table = /dev/sda
If you're using GRUB I suspect your labelling system, set-up will be slightly different.
Last edited by hitest; 13th July 2014 at 02:19 PM. Reason: typo
Let's look at sd0 a little more closely You will find 32 devices in /dev for sd0:
$ ls /dev/*sd0* /dev/rsd0a /dev/rsd0f /dev/rsd0k /dev/rsd0p /dev/sd0e /dev/sd0j /dev/sd0o /dev/rsd0b /dev/rsd0g /dev/rsd0l /dev/sd0a /dev/sd0f /dev/sd0k /dev/sd0p /dev/rsd0c /dev/rsd0h /dev/rsd0m /dev/sd0b /dev/sd0g /dev/sd0l /dev/rsd0d /dev/rsd0i /dev/rsd0n /dev/sd0c /dev/sd0h /dev/sd0m /dev/rsd0e /dev/rsd0j /dev/rsd0o /dev/sd0d /dev/sd0i /dev/sd0n $
The "c" partition is special, and reserved. It is always "the entire physical disk" and used with commands where you want to address the entire drive, such as fdisk(8). Those commands will take the short form of the device and convert it to the proper device node, internally. So you can type
# fdisk -e sd0 to edit an MBR partition table and the fdisk(8) program will use the /dev/rsd0c device node for you, as if you had typed
# fdisk -e /dev/rsd0c. Some commands that address individual OpenBSD partitions, such as newfs(8), will allow similar short forms:
# newfs sd3f will be interpreted as if
# newfs /dev/rsd3f was used.
The internal partitions, a-p, are often called disklabel partitions, as their configuration is stored in an area of the drive used by OpenBSD called a disklabel, and managed by the disklabel(8) program.
When using fdisk(8), you can address by C/H/S or by LBA, but not both at the same time. With C/H/S, you see starting and ending numbers, based on the geography reported above the table. With LBA, you see starting sector number and size in sectors.
To add the OpenBSD MBR partition, you can edit (e) either partition 2 or 3, and assign either by CHS starting and ending or by LHS and size. Then, you must flag (f) the partition as active, so that the partition will be booted by your BIOS, and then you can either write (w) the MBR or quit (q) and be prompted whether to write your changes or not.
Back up your system, first. But you knew that, right?
Last edited by jggimi; 13th July 2014 at 04:43 PM. Reason: typo, of course. always.
I should add that, when using LBA mode, for size you can add "g" for gigabytes or "m" for megabytes. You don't need to hand calculate 512-byte sector counts. You can also use "*" instead of a number to mean "to the end of the drive".
MBR = master boot record
There can be only one unique MBR on a single HDD or SSD with single or multiple installed OSes.
Secondly, what are those 5 architectures that use MBRs? I know Microsoft Windows, Linux and BSD. What are the remaining 2 architectures?
I would appreciate your help in this very much and you can even make it into an FAQ on the official OpenBSD website.
It would be good if you could write a short wiki on how to install OpenBSD in a multi-boot environment with the following parameters:
Herewith, your flying lesson. It starts with a preflight check at step 1.
Last edited by jggimi; 13th July 2014 at 07:23 PM. Reason: typo. again. this time just a misplaced comma and a misspelling of ubuntu.
Using OpenBSD's terminology, partition 0 would correspond to /dev/sda1 and partition 1 to /dev/sda2. Based on this assumption, how did partition 0 end up with only 27.94 GB (28,609 MB divided by 1024 MB = 27.94 GB) ?
and partition 1 yields 41.91 GB (42,915 MB divided by 1024 MB = 41.91 MB) ?
Why is there such a great difference in calculating partition sizes using Ubuntu and OpenBSD? Either the calculation method used by Ubuntu or OpenBSD is correct, but not both.
I don't understand how you arrived at 512-byte sectors. You see: 58,591,232 divided by 28,609 gives 2048-byte sectors, no?
Am I right to assume you were referring to partition 2 that corresponds to id #2? If yes, shouldn't I start on Cylinder 9118 and not 9119?
Using C/H/S method, shouldn't the starting values be 9118 /40 /11?
If using LBA method, how did you arrive at sector 146496735?
Special note: I appreciate all that you have done for me thus far and also for writing lengthy explanations for the questions that I asked. If anyone is to be the face of OpenBSD, I would nominate you for you have shown that you are able to interface with the public and help guide novice users. Your job title at OpenBSD should be "official ambassador".
