It was a matchup of the two best teams of the west Valley from last year. Temple City and Alhambra played for CIF-Southern Section titles and lost in championship games. |
The Moors (2-1) are as strong as last year and the young and undefeated Rams are proving they may not have missed too many steps despite losing a number of seniors from last season. |
In the first inning, Valencia led off with a chopper to third baseman Chuy Lopez that could have been a hit, but both coaches scored it an error because Lopez slightly bobbled the ball. |
Amezquita then retired the next 17 batters, including six on strikeouts. He threw only 50 pitches in the first five innings. |
He finished with a two-hitter with the two walks. Only five Rams got on base. |
Alhambra had a 2-0 lead by getting to Temple City starter Cameron LeGrand in the third inning. With one out, Blake Kuehnle singled and Lopez blooped a single over shortstop Jake LeGrand. Valencia, playing center field, bobbled the ball when he tried to pick it up and Kuehnle scored. Jeremy Duran then singled home Lopez... |
The Moors almost came back in the seventh. Valencia, who replaced Cameron LeGrand in the fifth, gave up a two-out single to Lopez. Ralph Rojas reached base on an error and Valencia hit Duran to load the bases. |
Christian Maciel hit an 0-1 Valencia pitch to center fielder Cameron LeGrand, who made the catch to preserve the victory. The Moors had five hits. |
Moderate and conservative Democrats were hit particularly hard on election night, despite the fact that many opposed Obama administration initiatives. |
U.S. Rep. Paul Kanjorski gives his concession speech, with his wife Nancy, in Moosic, Pa., on Tuesday. He is one of a handful of long-serving moderate Democrats who lost their seats Tuesday. |
It’s been a bad night for Democrats in the House, where Republicans are poised to pick up between 60 and 75 seats – the biggest gain by any one party in an election since 1948. |
But in particular, it’s been a bad night for moderate and conservative Democrats, who saw their ranks in Congress decimated in race after race. |
Longtime, once-impervious incumbents fell: John Spratt in South Carolina. Ike Skelton in Missouri. Paul Kanjorski in Pennsylvania. Rich Boucher in Virginia. |
In many cases, those Democrats lost despite amassing relatively conservative voting records and opposing key Obama Administration initiatives. |
At the same time, it was a banner night for many conservative, tea-party-anointed Republican candidates. |
The result: Even more polarization in an already polarized House. |
In dozens of races, those Blue Dog Democrats found that even being an independent voice couldn’t protect them against an anti-Democrat wave in the more conservative districts they represented. |
Gone: Chet Edwards in Texas, Baron Hill in Indiana, Stephanie Herseth Sandlin in South Dakota, Charlie Wilson in Ohio, and many others. |
A few survived, barely. Sanford Bishop, in Georgia’s Second District, squeaked by, as did Joe Donnelly in Indiana’s Second. |
But even as Obama is expected to call for more bipartisan cooperation in his address Wednesday, House members can look forward to a membership that has lost its most moderate voices and shifted to the two extremes in both parties. |

All week, conservatives have been bashing President Obama for filling out his NCAA tournament bracket on ESPN while uprisings roil the Arab world, a nuclear crisis and widespread devastation loom in Japan, a budget battle rages in Congress, and stubbornly high unemployment and rising oil and food prices threaten econom... |
In recent days, a new wrinkle has emerged in the criticism. Conservatives are offering Obama their own brackets, and let's just say you won't find Kansas or Ohio State among their teams. Hot Air's Allahpundit, for example, recently offered some picks for Obama: "I’ve got Qaddafi in the Libyan regional, radioactive stea... |
Then there's Fred Thompson at National Review, who, after accusing Obama of picking teams in swing states, asked his readers to create "Brackets of Leadership" for the "ever-distracted" president. "I could easily slot issues like Japan, the budget, entitlement reform, and tax cuts in upper seeds," he wrote, adding "the... |
But Newt Gingrich took the concept to a whole other level last night. Appearing on Fox News, the potential 2012 GOP presidential candidate presented his Final Four for Obama, which included reducing unemployment to four percent, producing enough oil and gas domestically to reduce gas prices to $2 a gallon, and balancin... |
So even while laying out his politicized Final Four picks Gingrich couldn't help but be distracted by the President's trifling game: "He may well be right about Kansas, although I must say I have a personal affection for Duke, where my best friend from high school went to school and where they have a great coach, and I... |
Not every Obama critic is taking the alternative bracket approach, though. Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, for instance, tweeted, "How can @BarackObama say he is leading when puts his NCAA bracket over the budget & other pressing issues?" Priebus has himself been known to juggle sports and politi... |
Updated: The networking giant confirms that a flaw in a search tool used on the Cisco.com Web site could compromise user passwords. |
A security flaw in a search tool used on the Cisco Web portal could potentially compromise registered users passwords, the routing and switching giant warned Wednesday. |
A Cisco Systems Inc. spokesperson told Ziff Davis Internet News the bug, discovered and reported by a third-party research firm, is not the result of any flaws in Cisco products or technologies. |
"Were aware of a vulnerability in a search tool used on the site that could expose passwords of registered users. We have since taken necessary steps to correct this issue," the spokesperson said. |
Cisco has initiated system-wide resets of user passwords and patched the search tool flaw, he added. |
The company has sent out password reset notices to registered Cisco.com users. |
"Cisco has determined that Cisco.com password protection has been compromised. As a precautionary measure, Cisco has reset your password. To receive your new password, send a blank e-mail, from the account which you entered upon registration, to cco-locksmith@cisco.com. Account details with a new random password will b... |

The Cisco.com portal is used by employees, customers, partners and third-party users to access information on a wide range of networking, VOIP (voice over IP) and security technologies. |
"This is unrelated to the events of last week," the spokesperson said, referring to the controversy at the Black Hat Briefings in Las Vegas when former Internet Security Systems Inc. researcher Michael Lynn spilled the beans on a remotely exploitable flaw in the Cisco IOS (Internetwork Operating System). |
/zimages/5/28571.gifRead more here about the security hole in Ciscos IOS. |
Lynns dramatic presentation caused quite a stir and prompted Cisco and ISS to file an injunction and temporary restraining order to block the further dissemination of information on the IOS flaw. |
Cisco has since confirmed the "high risk" vulnerability could lead to code execution attacks and released patches for the vulnerable operating system. |
/zimages/5/28571.gifTo read more about hackers working to expose the flaw, click here. |
Computer hackers, angered by the companys attempts to censor Lynn, has vowed to find a way to exploit the Cisco IOS, prompting widespread speculation that the Web site breach is related to the Black Hat brouhaha. |
"There is no evidence that this is related. This has nothing to do with a vulnerability in Cisco products," the Cisco spokesperson said. |

March 16 (Reuters) - Specialty chemical maker A. Schulman Inc said it would buy privately held Citadel Plastics Holdings Inc for $800 million to expand its specialty business that makes moldable plastics. |
Citadel Plastics, owned by private equity firms HGGC and Charlesbank Capital Partners, makes thermoplastic polymers and thermoset plastics. |
Thermoplastics, which melt when heated and then set to a solid state when cooled, are used in cookware, medical devices, toys and plastic bottles. Thermoset plastics can only be heated and shaped once and are used in electric insulators and fittings, adhesives and laminates. |
Citadel operates 21 factories across the world, including 10 thermoplastic factories and seven thermoset factories in the United States and Canada. |
“Their product offering ... presents attractive expansion opportunities in other fast-growing sectors such as aerospace, medical, LED lighting and oil & gas,” A. Schulman Chief Executive Bernard Rzepka said in a statement. |
A. Schulman, which sells products used in the electronics and construction industries, among others, expects the deal to add to its earnings in the first 12 months of ownership. |
The deal is expected to close in the third quarter of 2015. |

Apple’s iOS 8.2 update still isn’t out but that hasn’t stopped the company from confirming an iOS 8.3 update for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch models running its new operating system. With an iOS 8.3 update and release confirmed for the future, we want to take a look at the five things iOS 8 users need to know right now ... |
Apple has been busy in the months following its initial iOS 8.0 release for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch back in September. In the weeks since the release, the company’s rolled out six bug fix updates aimed at stabilizing the software. The company’s current version of iOS 8 is iOS 8.1.3, a large bug fix update that tack... |
The company’s also confirmed two upcoming iOS 8 updates that will replace the iOS 8.1.3 update sometime in the future. One of those updates is iOS 8.2, an update that sits in the company’s beta program. The iOS 8.2 release is expected in March ahead of Apple’s Watch release. The Apple Watch release date is confirmed fo... |
iOS 8.2 won’t be the finale for iOS 8 it seems. Today, Apple confirmed another iOS 8 update in the form of iOS 8.3, an update that had been rumored for arrival ahead of the iOS 9 update later this year. With an iOS 8.3 update now on deck for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, we want to take a look at the five most important... |
Apple today released its first iOS 8.3 beta which will be referred to us as iOS 8.3 beta 1. The update is currently available to users that are a part of Apple’s beta program. The arrival of the first iOS 8.3 beta comes just a few short days after Apple released its fifth iOS 8.2 beta, iOS 8.2 beta 5, to developers ahe... |
The company did not attach a specific release date to the iOS 8.3 update which means that iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users will likely be in the dark in the weeks leading up to its release. And while there isn’t anything available yet about its release, it’s clear that the iOS 8.3 update probably won’t be rolling out ... |
Apple’s iOS 8.2 update is confirmed and rumors point to an arrival sometime in March ahead of the Apple Watch release. Rumors have specifically hinted at a release in the second week of the month though that remains unconfirmed. With an iOS 8.2 release on tap for the coming weeks, an iOS 8.3 release is probably weeks, ... |
The company usually releases several beta upgrades before releasing iOS software to the public so we should see the company produce a number of iOS 8.3 betas in the weeks ahead. |
Who Will Get iOS 8.3? |
The iOS 8.3 update is confirmed for devices running the company’s iOS 8 operating system. That means that owners of the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5, iPhone 4s, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3, iPad Air, iPad mini 2, iPad mini, iPad 4, iPad 3, iPad 2, and iPod touch fifth-generation will all be getti... |
The full iOS 8.3 change log is still a bit of a mystery, even as the smoke clears from around the initial iOS 8.3 beta 1 release. Apple’s x.x update’s usually come with bug fixes though they will often deploy new features to the iPad and iPhone. For instance, iOS 8.1 delivered the company’s brand new Apple Pay service ... |
Android Auto and Apple CarPlay work with a range of phones. |
According to TechCrunch, the iOS 8.3 beta brings Wireless CarPlay support. Right now, CarPlay works only with a wired connection and it looks like iOS 8.3 will finally bring wireless capabilities to the popular feature. 9to5Mac also discovered an easier way to use two-form authentication for Google accounts connected t... |
As the iOS 8.3 release gets closer, and as Apple rolls out more betas, we should start to see the full iOS 8.3 change log come together. For now, it looks like the update will be focused on CarPlay with potential bug fixes in tow. |
Finally, iOS 8.3 could mark the end of a long road for iOS 8. While we could see Apple release bug fixes in the aftermath of the iOS 8.3 update, it does look like the company is prepping an iOS 9 release for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch later this year. |
The company historically has shown off its brand new updates on stage at WWDC, its annual developers conference, in June. It’s not clear if iOS 9 will be shown off there but thanks to an early report, we now have some early details about the update that will likely follow iOS 8.3. |
According to the leak, the iOS 9 update will focus on stability upgrades, similar to Apple’s OS X Snow Leopard update for Macs that rolled out in 2009. This doesn’t come as too much of a surprise given that there are still several long-standing iOS 8 problems that the company didn’t address with iOS 8.1.3 or any of its... |
The leak points to a “huge” effort on making iOS 9 more stable, fixing bugs and delivering better performance with the update. iOS 9 isn’t expected to arrive for several months at least which means iPhone and iPad users dealing with iOS 8 problems will need to look to iOS 8.2, iOS 8.3 and any bug fixes that come in bet... |

I go way back with the Devil May Cry series. My wife (girlfriend at the time) and I inadvertently began a tradition in 2001 when the original was released. She would sit and watch me play through games and she'd follow along as if it was a movie. She was the first and only girl I'd ever dated who would get into gaming ... |
That's one of the many reasons I married her the following year. Because of that experience, I've been excited whenever a new DMC is released, and the release of DMC 5 was no different. My takeaway is mostly positive, but not entirely what I hoped to get from the game. |
DMC 5 is beautiful on your screen or monitor. If you're playing in 4K, you will be treated to some of the most impressive action sequences, and they're all dancing on the screen with pristine clarity. The visual fidelity is in every aspect of the graphics package. The character's outfits, tattoos, hair, weapons and the... |
I don't think it's overstating the positive to suggest DMC 5 might be the most attractive action game I've seen. While the graphics are an obvious plus, there is a small issue with the visual experience. The camera can be a bit awkward. Depending on what part of the screen you're on, you can get lost in the chaos, or e... |
This isn't nearly enough to make me down on the look of the game. If anything, it's most frustrating because I want to see more of this stellar amalgamation of lighting effects, gore, textures and Japanese anime-like action sequences. |
I wish the sound was nearly impeccable like the visuals. In battle, the action is somewhat augmented by a soundtrack that fits the identity of the game and series. However, the speech from the characters amidst battles come off as mumbles in the more intense fights. There are some odd soundtrack choices in some areas t... |
Lastly, the dialog from the characters during the cutscenes is disjointed. V is one of the more annoying characters I've seen in an action game. I don't understand why he mumbles almost every word. While his weapons and magical powers are great, his speech comes off like a character who is supposed to have depth but is... |
Unfortunately, everyone who isn't a demon is represented similarly disillusioned throughout the story. |
This deficiency spills over into the story. This just isn't a compelling journey. As a matter of fact, I actually had to fight sleepiness while watching the cutscenes. Part of the problem is the poorly delivered dialog, but beyond that the story is shallow. |
You're essentially charged with rescuing Dante, the original hero in the story. Dante appears to have been defeated by a demon and he's disappeared. Nero is the first controllable character. He's supposed to be hellbent on finding Dante, but the passion and determination aren't conveyed. |
V's mysteriousness is supposed to be compelling. You're supposed to be driven by unlocking his motives, but instead, I didn't really care. My desire to finish DMC 5 was entirely based on wanting to see the various bosses–because they're great–and just to say that I completed the game. |
The saving grace for DMC 5–beyond the visuals–is the pure action. DMC has always been a hack-and-slash masterclass and this version is no different. The variation of the characters and their unique weapons deliver a good bit of diversity. Each is fun to control in their own right. Also, it's a challenge to learn and ac... |
You start to appreciate all of the differences, and it all works to establish a complete gameplay experience. It's hard to look for more from core gameplay than what Capcom provides in DMC 5. |
There is an element of microtransactions present, but it isn't a pay-to-win concept. You're consistently prompted to buy red orbs. You can get 100,000 for $1.99. The red orbs are used to buy combos, weapons or to continue when you've been killed. That sounds a little worse than it is considering there are a ton of red ... |
You truly don't have to buy them. The combos aren't necessary to defeat any of the demons or villains you encounter, and from normal play, you'll attain the requisite orbs to continue even when you've succumbed to a boss. It's proof that not all microtransactions are created equally. |
DMC 5 is beautifully rendered and the action is fun. However, the weak story and less-than-compelling character development and audio presentation remove the game's heart. Instead of being a masterful and complete action game, it's instead far more shallow than it could have been. |
Now, with a more complete list of Fib ratios let’s look at how they are applied to the markets. |
So there are three parts: the “initial move”, the “retracement”, and finally the “subsequent move”. |
Let’s start to tie in the Fibonacci ratios with the markets beginning with retracements. By definition, a retracement traces a portion of the initial move. The amount that the initial move is retraced can be measured in relation to the Fibonacci levels. |
The price moved up from Point 1 to Point 2, then moved back precisely 78.6% of that distance to Point 3, before moving back in the original direction. |
Now you should have the idea: the price moved down from Point 1 to Point 2, moved back up 78.6% of that distance to Point 3, before moving back in the original direction. |
Can you start at different points to measure your retracement? Yes. A retracement can be measured with different Fibonacci levels using different starting points for the Initial Move. |
In the following chart of the Aussie Dollar (AUD/USD), the price moves down to Point 1, retraces back up to Point 2, then continues moving down in the original direction. Several highs were made before the price reached Point 1. I’ve marked the two most recent and prominent highs as Point X and Point Y. |
When the price moved from Point X to Point 1, it retraced 61.8% of that distance to Point 2 before continuing the downward move. This is marked by the red horizontal line. |
Now, if you chose to use Point Y as the start point to measure the retracement, Point 2 was a 112.7% retracement of the distance from Point Y to Point 1 (as marked by the blue horizontal line). Therefore, a retracement can in fact go past the start of the initial move depending on where you choose to start your measure... |
