A bloop and a blast made Eric Hosmer a Yankee killer in his first trip to the Bronx and underlined the promise of the 21-year-old first baseman and prospects of a rosy future for a beleaguered franchise.

Not necessarily. Is it the most convenient method of carrying and listening to your music collection?

If you go on a trip and you can only take one device, which would you choose? If you take the laptop, good luck reading a book by the pool, or rocking some tunes on your headphones while you take a walk. If you take the ereader, you will have the pool thing covered, and can probably listen to some music in most cases, but checking Facebook, writing an email, or editing an Excel file could be problematic. If you have a portable music player, you're probably stuck listening to music unless you have something like the iPod Touch. In that case, you essentially have a mini tablet, but the diminutive display is not ideal for reading books or getting any productive work done.

s safe to say that employers generally frown on workers who play video games during work time. As common sense dictates, you're obviously not working when trying to win virtual gold by playing World of Warcraft or stealthily assassinating the enemy in Call of Duty: Black Ops.
But gaming outside of work or even during breaks at the office can help you in ways you might never have thought possible. Indeed, studies show that gaming can boost your ability to multitask, make faster decisions, work better in team environment, and find solutions to real-world problems.
Mike Huckabee's decision to forgo a shot at the presidency further muddies the field for a worthy Republican challenger to President Barack Obama, and leaves America's social conservatives without a clear candidate to throw their support behind.
Huckabee on Saturday night became the latest Republican to opt out of running, declaring that he would stick with his lucrative career as a television and radio personality over a race that promises to be both costly and caustic. By joining Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, South Dakota Sen. John Thune and Indiana Rep. Mike Pence on the sidelines, the former Arkansas governor underlined that for all of Obama's vulnerabilities on the economy, taking on his re-election machine and potential $1 billion treasure chest remains a daunting task.

The U.S. government scrambled to shore up the levee system in the Deep South on Thursday to prevent the mighty Mississippi Rivers from overflowing and flooding populated areas.
The Army Corps of Engineers placed high-density plastic sheeting along a four-mile back section of the Yazoo Backwater levee, to keep it from eroding if the levee is overtopped, said Kavenaugh Breazeale, spokesman for the agency responsible for flood control.
sallows it to be deployed on various cloud offerings in exactly the same way as a regular server, while offering high performance and scalability to accommodate the most demanding of applications.JReport can run as a fully embedded component in a customer’s application or as a standalone reporting service.It can be deployed and managed the same way as any Java EE application in a cloud environment without any additional effort or resources.
Extensive testing on Amazon’s EC2 cloud has shown that JReport scales in a linear fashion as capacity is increased by adding additional nodes.JReport offers a distributed architecture to provide load balancing, high availability and incremental capacity via clustering. Accessing the cluster is transparent for end users.The server cluster can tolerate any single point of failure by default, but can also be configured to tolerate multiple simultaneous failures.With the ability to scale to 100’s of nodes, JReport can support any number of users in any mission critical applications.
