WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary Schapiro is stepping down after almost four years as head of the Wall Street regulator, a period marked by some disappointments and a few accomplishments.
"It has been an incredibly rewarding experience to work with so many dedicated SEC staff who strive every day to protect investors and ensure our markets operate with integrity," Schapiro said in a statement Monday.
Schapiro, who was appointed in January 2009, presided over the SEC during an extremely difficult period — taking over after the financial crisis of 2008 and shortly after the agency came under fire again for not detecting a massive Ponzi scheme run by financier Bernard Madoff.
"No SEC chairman in history of the agency has had a harder task or faced a more hostile audience in Congress," said Columbia Law School Professor John Coffee. Coffee added that for the past two or three years, Schapiro was in "damage-control mode" against skeptical Republicans on Capitol Hill.
She was at the helm during a period where the SEC was responsible for implementing the Dodd-Frank Act, a statute written in the wake of the financial crisis. She plans to step down Dec. 14.
The announcement came shortly before President Barack Obama said he was appointing Elisse Walter, a current SEC commissioner, as chairwoman. Obama said he was grateful that Walter, a Democrat, has agreed to help lead the agency.
Walter is serving a five-year term that ended in June 2012, but panel members can serve an additional 18 months after their terms end, which gives her until the end of 2013 before she'll require Senate confirmation to keep her post. Obama will nominate someone for a full term in the near future, according to a person familiar with the situation. Read about Obama's SEC pick of Walter and her muni-bond focus.
Under Schapiro's helm, the agency has implemented three-quarters of all the rules required by the Dodd-Frank law. The SEC also has brought a record number of enforcement cases, including 735 actions in 2011 and 734 actions in 2012. That record includes prosecuting what regulatory experts contend is the largest insider-trading scheme ever discovered.
However, Sen. Chuck Grassley, Republican of Iowa, complained that Schapiro's tenure was marked by some weak settlements with Wall Street firms, noting that the SEC hasn't "always used its existing penalties to the fullest." However, he acknowledged that current law limits the SEC's enforcement ability.
But outgoing Rep. Barney Frank, the co-author of the Dodd-Frank Act, argued that the reason Schapiro hasn't been able to impose tougher settlements is because the Republican-controlled House Appropriations Committee has failed to allocate a sufficient budget for the SEC. The agency is subject to the annual appropriations process, which includes vetting and approval on Capitol Hill.
"I'd like SEC to be tougher, but it means extensive litigation that costs money and it's the fault of Republicans for not giving the SEC the budget to do serious settlements," Frank said in an interview with MarketWatch.
Columbia's Coffee agreed that some settlements have been weak, but he pointed to the SEC's budget under Schapiro, calling the agency underfunded and overworked. He noted that a major criticism of the SEC has been that it failed to take on individuals responsible for the crisis. However, he said SEC doesn't have enough of a budget to go up against individuals.
"If SEC goes against individuals, those individuals will fight and the SEC doesn't have enough of a budget to conduct that battle," he commented. "It will require a large effort and don't have enough of a staff for complex cases that require real manpower."
The period is also marked by other disappointments, including an inability to implement new rules for the $2.7 trillion money-market fund industry. Schapiro, who has been a chief regulatory advocate for new money-fund rules, acknowledged in August that she didn't have the votes at the five-member agency to move forward with a plan of her own to impose further regulation of the industry.
She has argued that the industry should bail itself out and not seek taxpayer support after the Treasury Department created a taxpayer-backed guarantee program when a major fund "broke the buck" during the 2008 crisis and suffered a run on assets.
Schapiro also pushed lawmakers to adopt a provision to give shareholders significantly more power over corporate-board elections. However, even though the provision was passed into law, a U.S. appeals court in July 2011 struck a major blow to Schapiro and the agency by rejecting the rule. Read about how a court struck down SEC shareholder rule.
The rejection impacted more than just the shareholder rule. The court said the agency failed to conduct an adequate cost-benefit analysis — a decision that drove Schapiro to delay further rules in favor of hiring more economists and taking more time to consider regulations.
Frank noted that the three-judge panel that struck down the rule are Republican appointees, adding that the decision is a "double whammy" for conservatives because it requires the SEC to do more work, while Republicans haven't provided the budget to do the work.
One year into the job, Schapiro also was faced with what later was called the "flash crash": a major liquidity crisis that resulted in a drop by the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.24% of nearly 1,000 points before swiftly recovering to end at a 348-point loss.
Under Schapiro's watch, the SEC has implemented a series of regulations seeking to fend of another such crash — including the approval of a variety of circuit breakers to help limit the impact of technology errors. Yet the new rules have come as a series of smaller technology glitches and erroneous trades have continued to hamper the markets in recent months.
The agency has been under pressure to implement new restrictions on high-speed traders, another area that will not be reformed before her departure.
So far, it has set up a new system to collect market and trading data, which Schapiro hopes will inform the agency on whether to consider rules for high-frequency traders.

Because in this case Linus Torvalds is our new overlord, and I for one, welcome him.
While I can't justify the difference, I'll tell you that there is one if we don't see any regularly recurring network born auto-root that's so bad it threatens the top level domain servers. It's not like someone cracked kernel.org and owned it for three months [slashdot.org] injecting whatever they pleased into the codebase. One good explanation of the difference is that Marketing dorks who do little more than buy other's code can't maintain
No, just GNU.org http://uk.builder.com/manage/work/0,39026594,2027
The concept of local security is usually ignored in the MS side, that someone already using the machine could access/modify things that he should not.
Most Microsoft related advisories/reports are centered in remote vulnerabilities, things that only have a meaning for a network connected machine accessing services or being accessed from outside.
Of course, a local vulnerability could be exploited if some piece of software (i.e. a web app) have an entry point, and what should be running
Isec.pl has done a lot for the open source world, they've found lots of vulnerabilities (which is good - vulnerabilities ARE like any other bug):
Take a look at the impressive curriculum of those guys:
d_path() truncating excessive long path name vulnerability
Linux kernel do_brk() lacks argument bound checking [www.isec.pl]
Linux kernel do_mremap() local privilege escalation vulnerability [www.isec.pl]
Linux kernel do_mremap VMA limit local privilege escalation vulnerability [www.isec.pl]
Linux kernel setsockopt MCAST_MSFILTER integer overflow [www.isec.pl]
Linux kernel file offset pointer races [www.isec.pl]
Linux ELF loader vulnerabilities [www.isec.pl]
Linux kernel IGMP vulnerabilities [www.isec.pl]
Linux kernel scm_send local DoS [www.isec.pl]
Linux kernel uselib() privilege elevation [www.isec.pl]
Guess what, they're also the guys who discovered the mozilla hole diclosed today: Heap overflow in Mozilla Browser NNTP code [www.isec.pl]
Those guys are impressive. In particular, Paul Starzetz is the author in most of those kernel holes, along with a guy called Wojciech. They always contact the kernel maintainers before discosing the vulnerability, etc. Basically, they're having the same effect than a security audit. Except that they're doing it for free, so they deserve respect, I think. And yes, Linux is having too many kernel-level vulnerabilities. More than XP if I'm counting them right. Perhaps someone should offer a job to those guys so they can audit parts of the kernel better.
(And I can understand that copyright policy - there're people who probably look at those announcements, ctrl+c and ctrl+v and they release their own announcement twisting dates claiming that they're the guys who found it first)
Oh yeah I guess Polly boy has something to put on his resume now as if someone else was going to steal his glory and get away with it.
Hi all,
first of all I must comply about the handling of this vulnerability that I reported to vendorsec. Obviously my code posted there has been stolen and plagiated by Stefan Esser from Ematters. The posting containing the plagiate will follow. Now I have been forced to release the full advisory however another disclosure timeline have been agreed on vendorsec. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Hi all,

I really apologize to Stefan Esser for the inconvenience and thank him
for his cool reaction - the plagiarism did work.
Further steps must be taken to investigate the security leak on vendorsec.

They've got a pretty good record. Unfortunately, kernel-level stuff is nasty -- how do you fix embedded devices?
Atmel, amongst others, produce encrypted RAM. If you don't have the key, you can't read the memory. That's pretty secure, if you ask me.
Any OS with B1 (or better) security has comprehensive mandatory access controls, so that if you DO find an exp
I should mention that enabling ELF format is still highly recommended (after the patch for this is released of course) and unless you do special programming work in linux then enabling a.out format is not recommended.
echo "1|nux r007 3xp10|7 by 1c4m7uf"
cat >ex.c <<eof
int getuid() { return 0; }
int geteuid() { return 0; }
int getgid() { return 0; }
int getegid() { return 0; }
gcc -shared ex.c -oex.so
LD_PRELOAD=/tmp/ex.so sh
/tmp/ex.so /tmp/ex.c
getuid() and geteuid() get the "user ID" and "effective User ID". This scripts makes a library that makes these functions return 0 -- signifying that you are the superuser. It doesn't actually make you the superuser, but it implements functions that pretend you are.
Anyway, then it compiles these functions into a library and tells the loader to link that library first. So when you start up a shell, it will call getuid() to figure out your userid, and your new library will tell it that you are userid 0. The shell prints out the root prompt instead of the regular one.
But this in no way actually gives you root privs, if you go to edit
Pretty funny joke, though, kind of like telling everyone that they can ftp to 127.0.0.1 using their own regular userid and password and find all the porn they could ever want...
raw diffs to for those brave souls who want them
I'd really like to know what's being done about this pitiful trend of Linux security, where it's 10x as easy to find a vulnerability in the kernel than it is in any app on the system, where isec releases at least one critical vulnerability for each kernel version.
And given his description of how he found these problems, plus his frustration about getting Linus and akpm to reply, his tone is even somewhat understandable.
Where there's a will, there's an Inheritance Tax.

Manchester United have been joined by Juventus in their reported pursuit of Austrian teenager Marcel Sabitzer, it has been claimed.
The 18-year-old continues to impress for current employers Admira Wacker, and could seemingly earn a high-profile transfer to either the Premier League or Serie A.
According to talkSPORT, Manchester United are keen to secure the signature of the £1 million-rated youngster, whose contract expires next summer, but the Old Trafford will be contested by Juventus.
Juventus are now reported to be ahead of Manchester United in the race to sign Sabitzer, and could launch a bid as early as the January transfer window.
Manchester United and Juventus have a recent transfer history of sorts, following Paul Pogba's move to Turin in the summer after a well-publicised battle with the Red Devils over a new contract.
Ferguson had been keen to keep Pogba at Old Trafford, but the young French midfielder opted to leave for a more lucrative offer from Juventus.

Sky Jockeys - free fly in all directions
Sky Jockeys
Cost: FREE
Genre: Arcade
Language: English, Russian
The free arcadian game for mobile devices on the basis of the iOS Android Sky Jockeys offers you a great chance to replace the ordinary running on the straight line with the flight in all directions, to fight with your friends for the real prizes, and to overcome the way full of challenges to become an air expert with a world name from a beginning pilot.
During the game you have to overcome the bondless desert Al-Hazri and the megacity destroyed by the technogenic disaster, to survive in the severe mountainous massifs, and to inflict the decisive defeat over the Don Boulhoni.
During the game you will face the most unexpected obstacles Don Boulonis assistants will try to ram your device and to line it, shooting from the bunkers, to place graveled platforms; in other words, they will try to get in your way. However, neither the platforms erected on the ground or in the air, nor the natural mountainous massifs, nor the clouds worsening viability should prevent you from reaching the Olympus top.
You will have a lot of various gliders which differ in appearance, in the principles of controlling, and even in functioning. And also you will get something more: the best developers of the whole world invented lots of varied devices which you can install in your plane to get advantages which help you to be ahead of the enemy. Would you like to have a faster plane? You should install the forced engine then. Would you like to have a more maneuverable airship? In this case you should install a better summer system. If you run out of fuel very quickly, the solar battery will help you.
A great number of funs will shout for both: for you and for your enemy. Both funs and enemies have a lot of surprises for you. As for the power gates, they are a worthy challenge even for the most experienced pilots.
So the question is are you ready for it? If yes, put your key in and go ahead!

More input on future construction, less immediate construction and an extra $155 million in federal funds helped convince major airlines to put aside their objections to building a new southern runway at O'Hare International Airport.
Leaders from United and American airlines announced Monday they were pulling their federal lawsuit aimed at keeping Chicago from moving forward with a $3.4 billion modernization plan of the airport. In exchange, additional federal funds will ease the cost of agreed-upon projects totaling $1.2 billion and the city won't move forward with another $2.2 billion worth of plans until both sides meet again before March 2013 to discuss the need for further modernization.
The compromise was orchestrated by U.S Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood, a former Illinois congressman.
"This is a jobs program," LaHood said during a Monday morning news conference at the airport, adding that the new runway, unlike others at O'Hare, will not intersect other runways.
"This project will make flying safer, that's why we insisted everyone sit at the table to work this out," he said.
Both Illinois senators -- Democrat Dick Durbin of Springfield and Republican Mark Kirk of Highland Park -- also had a part in the negotiations, along with Chicago Mayor Richard Daley.
Though United Airlines CEO Jeff Smisek said he doesn't believe the southern runway is a necessity now, he acknowledged its importance in the future.
"We come here today because of a dispute, but let me tell you what's not in dispute: A shared vision," Smisek said. "There's a clear understanding of how important O'Hare is to us all, but this agreement permits us to participate in a fiscally responsible manner."
The airlines filed the lawsuit in January, complaining the companies would have little control over the work being performed, but would be responsible for 58 percent of the costs. For this phase, the airlines are responsible for 25 percent of the costs, according to transportation department documents. The city is responsible for 31 percent of the costs and the rest are covered by federal funds and grants.
Federal transportation officials noted that $280 million in federal funds specifically was earmarked for construction of the $517 million southern runway.
The federal government had already earmarked $410 million for the total project cost, officials said. The additional $155 million will make the federal government responsible for almost 17 percent of the project's total cost.
Other projects included in this planning phase include $35 million for soundproofing, $62 million for a new parking structure, $96 million for upgrades to the airport's transit system and $231 million for north airfield construction.
Projects that haven't been agreed to yet include a new north runway and extension of an existing north runway as well as other taxiway improvements and construction. The city and airlines agreed to meet again on the future of those projects before a March 1, 2013 deadline.

Roller Mills anyone?
Hey there!
I was wondering if anyone knew of a place to buy roller mills? I realize they are usually set up in succession to bring the particle size down.
And... maybe what I'm looking for could be done without that. What I'm wanting to do is mill whole buckwheat flour, and not have large hulls left over. I assume flour processed at Birtkett Mills is all done on roller mills, but don't know if there is maybe a way to process the whole buckwheat berry, hull and all, into a flour.

Late Night Computing wraps up a rather boring January 3, 2013 here on Shacknews.
I've been playing Assassin's Creed III over the last several days, slowly making my trek through the wilderness. If there is one change I like, it's the addition of seasons and weather. The shifts are sometimes sudden, from sunny one moment to a stormy mess in a mission sequence thirty seconds later, but on the overall it's pretty nice. The next few titles should be interesting to see, development wise. Yearly iterations have seen the series take a downturn, so a break might be nice as next generation consoles are all but a certainty.

Fish oil's reputation for protecting our hearts and minds has taken some hits lately. Despite earlier promises of a benefit for ageing brains, one study reported last year that omega-3 supplements didn't appear to improve cognitive function in older people, while another review looking at prevention of heart disease and stroke concluded fish oil was not much help there, either.
In other areas, such as mental health, the oil's benefits should not be written off.
''Even though research into fish oil's effects on depression has had mixed results, it's an evolving story,'' says Gordon Parker, scientia professor at the school of psychiatry at the University of NSW. He believes the reason for conflicting findings may be that different formulations of fish oil supplements have different effects.
''We still need to work out which formulation is best for depression and at what dose,'' he says.
Fish oil contains omega-3 fats with names commonly known by their initials. There's EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), both of which help regulate the brain chemicals that affect mood, and cool the inflammation thought to contribute to depression, arthritis, heart disease and dementia. To get enough of these fats we need fish. Two to three serves of oily fish, such as sardines, salmon, trout or mackerel, weekly delivers the daily 500 milligrams of omega-3 fat recommended by the Heart Foundation. Although we can make some of these fats ourselves by eating plant foods such as flaxseed, chia seeds and walnuts, which contain another omega-3 fat (ALA), we produce only a small amount.
For helping with depression, fish oil supplements containing more EPA than DHA appear to be the most effective, but more studies are needed, says Parker, former director of the Black Dog Institute, which specialises in treating and researching mood disorders. Although finding the optimal dose for depression is a work in progress, the institute generally recommends two 500 milligram capsules daily.
''Fish oil may also help protect young people from serious mental illness. An Australian study of adolescents at risk of schizophrenia found those taking fish oil supplements had a much lower risk of developing psychosis,'' he says. ''Although the general advice is two to three serves of oily fish each week, for adolescents and young people with an increased risk of psychosis or mood disorder, there's an argument for taking three or four capsules daily of a fish oil supplement containing 180 milligrams of EPA and 120 milligrams of DHA.''
Parker is working on a study* to see if fish oil helps women with bipolar disorder keep their moods stable during pregnancy. Pregnant women with bipolar are between a rock and a hard place - using mood-stabilising drugs is linked to an increased risk of pregnancy complications, but avoiding medication can seriously affect their mental health.
''We know that omega-3 supplements are safe in pregnancy and that they can help with depression in bipolar disorder when they're used in conjunction with medication. Now, we want to find out if omega-3 supplements alone can keep moods stable in pregnancy,'' Parker says.
Differences in the quality of fish oil supplements and the use of different doses can also explain mixed results in studies on cardiovascular disease, according to the Heart Foundation's director of cardiovascular health, Rob Grenfell. ''There's a lot more to learn about fish oil, but research so far suggests it helps keep blood vessels healthy and reduces the risk of clots by helping thin the blood,'' he says.
Women who have bipolar disorder and are less than 10 weeks' pregnant are invited to take part in this study. For more information, phone 9382 9268 or see firstname.lastname@example.com.

Beverly Ferguson, 70
Beverly J. Ferguson, age 70 of Ansley, died May 17, 2011, at the Valley County Hospital in Ord. All memorials are suggested to the Valley County Hospice. Beverly (Whitman) Ferg-uson was born Jan. 12, 1941, in Loup City to Dean and Loma (Hyatt) Whitman. Bev attended grade school in Casper, Wyo, later moving back to the Arcadia - Westerville region. Bev graduated from Arcadia High School with the class of 1959. Bev said, "Yea, I graduated from high school - now what?" She didn't know what she wanted to do with her life, so she stayed home that summer and worked in the local cafe. That summer she met that special someone in her life, her partner in marriage, Lawrence Ferguson. Lawrence had already accepted a job in Abilene, Kan., before meeting Bev. When the job shut down at Christmas break, they were married, Dec. 26, 1959. They stayed with Bev's parents, Lawrence's brother, and other family members until spring. They then moved to Salina, Kan., where there home was a small trailer house they had purchased. Lawrence worked on the interstate, and during this time their daughter, Candra Lee, was born Dec. 8, 1960. In the spring of 1961, they moved back to the Arcadia and Ansley region. Lawrence operated a drag line while working on the Sherman Dam irrigation project. During this time their son, Larry Dean, was born Nov. 28, 1962. From 1962 to 1970, they moved all over Nebraska. Lawrence's employment was drag line, building bridges mostly on the interstate. They lived in 14 towns throughout Nebraska, not counting Ansley and Arcadia. They lived as far north as Niobrara, and as far south as Humboldt; as far east as Omaha, and as far west as Bushnell. They lived in a large mobile home, so their home was always with them. They met a lot of nice people, learned a lot about the state of Nebraska, and saw many of its points of interest. The entire family enjoyed this learning experience. They lived through a few bad experiences during this time. Their new mobile home was turned over by a tornado in Elba; and at Bushnell Lawrence's boss and he were struck by lightning. In 1970, they moved back to the Arcadia and Ansley region because they wanted to get settled into one place before Candra and Larry started junior high and high school. Lawrence went to work for the Irrigation District at Arcadia, and Bev managed the community center. They also tried their skills at farming and milking cows for four years. They raised hogs, corn and alfalfa. They never worked at a job any harder in their lives and almost went broke doing it. In 1977, they moved to Ansley. Lawrence was hired by the Custer County Highway Department as a bridge foreman. He continued this line of work until he retired 27 years later. Bev was the main cook at the Highway Cafe for eight years. Finally, during her retired years, Bev stayed home and truly enjoyed being grandmother, taking care of Rod and Candra's children full-time, and Larry and Gail's children whenever they needed some help. Bev and Lawrence were living in Ansley when Bev died. Survivors include her husband, Lawrence Ferguson of Ansley; daughter, Candra and husband Rod Palmer of Ansley; son, Larry and wife Gail Ferguson of Ansley; five grandchildren, Jenny (Jim) Eberle, Nathan Ferguson, and Melinda, Michael and Katelyn Palmer; and three great-grandsons, Brady and Ryland Eberle, and Miciah Mohrman. She was preceded in death by her parents; a granddaughter, Michelle Lee Palmer; and a great-granddaughter, Ella Gail Eberle. Funeral services were May 21 at the Ansley Christian Church with Govier Brothers Mortuary of Broken Bow in charge of arrangements.Published in Custer County Chief, May 26, 2011

Get Smart was a bit strange for me, thought it was a good movie, but it certainly didn't have the Get Smart feel in my opinion. To be honest I found it a bit disappointing even though I expected that they wouldn't be able to give it that feel. For what it's worth, taken on it's own merit it's a good film and very enjoyable.

Watched Gattaca a couple of days back. A movie I haven't seen for a long time but one I rate really highly. Great commentary on society and conformism, vanity and materialism. Loved the futuristic backdrop to the movie too.

Having a special family gathering this 2010 Palm Sunday and this was specially requested, we started to put different ingredients in here that everyone liked. I used Frangelico instead of Kaluha this time, and this has a combination of Nutella and Hot Fudge on top.
The Frangelico is a hazelnut liqueur and the nutella complimented this well, everyone loved it!
Loosely translated, tiramisù means "pick me up," and it has been picked up on practically every menu in America. Since the early eighties, it has been one of the most famous Italian-American desserts, and like spaghetti and meatballs, it is far more prevalent here than in Italy. Purchase one angel food cake and slice or make a sponge cake (recommended )home made easy great recipe or use lady fingers . This is a simple version, not made with raw egg, a favorite of ours we make often.
1/2 cup strong black coffee
3 or 4 tablespoons coffee flavored liqueur such as Kaluha or use a hazelnut such as Frangelico
1 package (8 ounces) mascarpone cheese (see Tip)substitute cream cheese if you cant get mascarpone
1/2 package or 4 ounce of cream cheese softened or room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 package (3 ounces) ladyfingers, split, angel food, or sponge cake
1/4 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa
hot fudge syrup, nutella hazelnut spread
whipped cream for garnish optional
Prepare and slice sponge cake for 12x9 inch pan or cut store bought angel food cake, or ladyfingers to fit pan.
In a small bowl, combine the coffee and liqueur; set aside.
In a medium bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, cream cheese, and confectioners' sugar until smooth, add a half cup of sour cream. Prick the top of the cake and drizzle with coffee mixture, pour the remaining coffee mixture over the top layer if making a double layer of cake, you can do this either way (if using lady fingers dip them into the mixture then lay into your pan..) Spread cheese mixture on top. Top next with cream and chocolate.
Note: I had canned and added whip cream to the top sparingly, and drizzle hot fudge and nutella on top and sprinkle with unsweet cocoa powder.
PREPARATION TIP: Mascarpone cheese is a soft, sweet Italian cheese, similar in consistency to soft cream cheese. Commonly used in dips and in sweet dishes like tiramisu, it's generally found in the cheese section of the supermarket, you can use cream cheese if you can't find it.

The January transfer window threw up little in the way of surprises, unless of course you're Peter Odemwingie.
But among the more unexpected deals was Jack Butland's switch from Birmingham City to Stoke City - although Butland will remain at St. Andrew's on loan for the remainder of the season.
Butland's departure from struggling Birmingham was not much of a surprise, but his eventual destination was a little unexpected, as the England stopper has been on the radar of top clubs for some time.
It appeared he was destined to join one of England's elite, but the 19-year-old keeper has opted for Tony Pulis' side with the belief that he will have more chance of securing regular first-team football in the long run.
Stoke seemed an unlikely destination for Butland, especially given their exceptional defensive record this term that has been largely down to the form of Asmir Begovic, who was himself linked with a January switch.
Stoke managed to hold on to the Bosnian international, but seem resigned to losing him come the summer.
Given Butland's refusal to speak to Chelsea over his pathway into the first-team being blocked by Petr Cech and the on-loan Atletico Madrid stopper, Thibaut Courtois, it's not unreasonable to assume that he has been given assurances from Pulis that he will be the Potters' first choice goalkeeper next season.
Does this mean that Begovic's departure is a case of when, not if?
His reputation has continued to grow since moving to Stoke from Portsmouth in 2010, in which time he has racked up nearly 100 appearances for the club and established himself as Bosnia's number one.
Throughout the January transfer window, the Serb was linked with a move to Manchester United, with Manchester City also reported to be involved, and although the move failed to materialise, The Mirror are reporting that Sir Alex Ferguson will push through a £15m move in the summer to solve United's goalkeeping problems.
David de Gea has come in for wide criticism since his move to Old Trafford two seasons ago, and the consensus has been that Begovic would be a direct replacement for the Spaniard although his arrival is more likely to signal the end for Anders Lindegaard, who has fallen out of favour in recent times.
Begovic would provide experience in an important position and could be used to aid De Gea's development, allowing Ferguson to take the Spanish protégé out of the limelight as and when required.
The noises coming out of Old Trafford are that the club are fully behind De Gea and the signing of Begovic should not be seen as the end of the line for the young starlet, with many backing De Gea to become one of the world's top keepers in time.

Penn, Princeton Visit On Final Home Weekend
NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Fresh off a road sweep of the Ivy League's New York teams, the Bulldogs return home to close out their regular season home schedule this weekend against Penn and Princeton.
Yale has won its last four matches – all on the road – and stands alone atop the Ivy League standings entering this weekend with a 9-1 conference record. Princeton enters the weekend at 8-2 and plays at Brown on Friday night.
The Bulldogs host Penn on Friday at 6 p.m.
Saturday marks Senior Day for the Bulldogs. The match against Princeton at 5 p.m. marks the final regular season home match for three Yale seniors – Katie Cordell, team captain Taylor Cramm and Bridget Hearst.
The Bulldogs, who begin play on Friday with a 15-5 overall record, won in come-from-behind fashion at Columbia last Friday night in New York City. Yale dropped the first set and proceeded to take the next three.
Allie Frappier smashed a season-high 22 kills, Yale hit .331 as a team and the Bulldogs produced its highest dig total (91) in a four-set match this. Frappier wasn't the only standout hitter. Erica Reetz pounded 16 kills and hit a personal season-best .520, while Haley Wessels struck for 11 kills and hit .304. Kendall Polan, the league's assist per set leader, dished out 52.
On defense, Maddie Rudnick delivered 24 digs – her third-highest single-match total this season. Rudnick continues to lead the team in digs per set (4.37) and ranks eighth overall in the Ivy League.
After the win at Columbia, the Bulldogs swept Cornell the next night in Ithaca.
Freshman Mollie Rogers provided a match-high 12 kills, while Polan had 26 assists and 14 digs for Yale in a 3-0 win over Cornell.
Rogers, named Ivy Rookie of the Week on Oct. 25, hit .393 and had only one error in 28 swings versus the Big Red. It was her highest percentage since she hit .417 against Brown on Sept. 24.
Frappier followed her 22-kill performance at Columbia last night with eight kills and eight digs against Cornell.
Penn (7-13, 3-7 Ivy) won in five sets at Dartmouth last Saturday. Kristen Etterbeek had a match-high 21 kills for the Quakers, who hit .400 in the fifth set.
Princeton defeated Harvard in four sets last Saturday after losing the previous night at Dartmouth. Lydia Rudnick led Princeton with 22 kills, 14 digs and six total blocks against the Big Green to help the Tigers keep pace in the Ivy standings.

I had a really bad habit of trying to jump into the middle of something I didn't know very well, if at all, especially when it came to technology. I attribute it to my days of playing video games when you pulled the game out of the case, stuck it in, and then tried to figure out how everything worked. Yeah, there was an instruction manual, but who had time for it? This was reinforced by arcade games, especially the fighting games like Street Fighter II Champion Edition where there were no instructions other than then basics on how to punch, kick, jump, and block. But every character had special moves which made them more lethal. So before the days of widespread Internet access, we learned by trial and error.
As I've gotten older, I've realized that this isn't such a great idea. Maybe it was working with high molar acids in chemistry lab, or maybe it was realizing how much time I wasted by fumbling around. In any case, I've learned that taking a more methodical approach is often the right way to go. Sure, I still jump into something with enthusiasm, but I do so knowing that I'm starting at the beginning of something, not the middle, and that I can formulate a plan to advance. In many cases I'm taking baby steps, like the baby flamingo to my right (my little girl loves flamingos, so you all get flamingos).
For instance, I want to learn how to play the penny whistle, like Sir James Galway does here. There is a process to learning a new musical instrument, even if you are already very familiar with another, like I am on flute. Playing a penny whistle is similar to playing the flute, but the embouchure is different. Also, the fingerings are not the same. So there's definitely a learning process. The first step is to learn the first few notes. Then one plays long tones of those notes. After that, one attacks a simple melody using those notes. And slowly but surely one increases the range of notes as well as the complexity of the music that is being played. It matters little that I have full range on the flute with the practiced capability of playing sixteenth and thirty-second notes. Sure, I can read the music readily for the penny whistle, but my fingers still have to practice to get used to where they need to be and how they need to flow to play the penny whistle properly. I must learn how to put the proper amount of air and form the proper embouchure to ensure each note is on pitch, not flat and certainly not sharp. And that takes time. That takes baby steps. I'm not going to sound like Galway overnight, nor am I going to play with the dexterity of this guy any time soon. Those are goals to reach for. I expect a lot of personal failure along the way.
But it all starts with baby steps. Anything worthwhile does. If there's something you want to learn or something you want to tackle, look at it objectively. Figure out what you can truly handle. Perhaps that means you'll have to take really small, even baby, steps. That's okay. The key is to steadily move forward. Make sure you've got down what it is you're learning before moving on. This is true whether you're learning how to swing a bat, play an instrument, learn query tuning, or become a great chef. Expect to fail, but don't let failure discourage you and certainly don't let it stop you. Rather, take the time to learn why you failed, what you didn't fail on, and how to avoid or overcome the failure on the next attempt. Maybe you took too big of a step. Or perhaps you just need to repeat whatever that step was until it becomes second nature. But keep taking steps forward.

Also, this is a little extra request that might be ambitious or not. Okay here goes:
What about useing the tab bar for desktop applications too? Like a hybrid bar to vert windows programs in it and webpages too. Taht way k-meleon can demonite in its fullscreened glory like an opperative system on its own.
I can't find that boolean anywhere in the aboutconfig screen, is it available in the latest release?Quote
Since KM is the only browser I know of that allows you to place the tab bar alongside the other toolbars, you can create an app toolbar w/shortcuts to all your favorite applications and place it alongside your tab bar. Add the following pref set to false. Lock your toolbars and you'll have what you want. It'll appear seamless as one bar, half of it tabs, the other half apps.

We are in the midst of the greatest first round in the history of the NBA Playoffs. Earlier this week, that fact was petty and meaningless under the ugly cloud caused by the racist and ignominious owner of the Los Angeles Clippers.
Finally, that cloud is dissipating. It's a process, and it's certainly not fully gone just yet. But basketball is basketball once again.
It was a highly-emotional few days for not only the NBA community, but society as a whole, after audio tapes that were filled with Clippers' owner Donald Sterling making disgusting racist remarks were leaked to TMZ. On Tuesday afternoon, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, a man who took office just three months ago, restored order as best he could. Silver dropped the hammer on the 80-year-old Sterling by banning the billionaire from the NBA for life and fining him a maximum penalty of $2.5-million.
Silver demonstrated sincerity and acted as a human being, not a businessman. It was what he had to do and he handled himself beautifully.
The whole ordeal was another nasty reminder that even in the Year 2014, our country is still firmly in a battle to abolish racism. Sadly, it probably will always be that way.
Still, getting rid of Sterling, a man with a well-documented history of racist and bigoted behavior, was a victory.
The plan is for the rest of the league owners to force Sterling to sell his franchise.
Sure, Sterling will make an enormous profit when he sells the team. The Clippers could be worth up to $1-billion. He reportedly bought the team for $12.5-million in 1981. People are upset that Sterling's wallet will get thicker. But the truth is, he's already a billionaire, so what's another billion? This is just another illustration that money doesn't buy class, money doesn't buy dignity, and money doesn't buy happiness. Sterling has been shamed in the court of public opinion, and will never live down the label of being a hateful racist. That's what matters.
He won't go quietly. Moments before Silver imposed the lifetime ban to Sterling, it was reported that Sterling said he will not sell the team. Sterling is a former attorney, he's comfortable in court, and we all know he can certainly afford an all-star team of lawyers. But it's going to be extremely difficult for Sterling to make a case for himself.
According to ESPN legal analyst Lester Munson, "when Silver issued the punishment to Sterling, the decision is final. The (NBA) constitution provides in Paragraph 24 that a commissioner's decision shall be 'final, binding and conclusive' and shall be as final as an award of arbitration. Sterling can file a lawsuit, but he would face a humiliating defeat early in the process."
Good luck with all of that, Sterling.
Now, we can turn our attention back to basketball, you know, the actual game on the court that so many of us love. Thankfully, Clippers' head coach Doc Rivers -- who handled this unenviable situation with incredible grace and strength -- and his players have their focus back on playing. That was evident when LA took a 3-2 series lead on Tuesday night with an impressive 113-103 win over Golden State in Game 5 of the best-of-seven first-round series.
The greatness of this postseason has rightfully been lost in the shuffle over the past four or five days. It's time to enjoy it.
Brilliant basketball is being played everywhere you look. Entering Wednesday night's slate of games, eight different contests had gone to overtime, a new record for one round.
For a league oft-criticized for its playoff predictability, these playoffs have been anything but.
In the East, top-seeded Indiana is on the brink of elimination, trailing 3-2 to Atlanta. Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors are giving the veteran Brooklyn Nets, a popular pick to do some postseason damage, all they can handle.
In the West, if the top-seeded San Antonio Spurs are going to get by the Dallas Mavericks, they will have to do so in six or seven games. The Oklahoma City Thunder, the No. 2 seed, face a must-win on Thursday night as they trail the Memphis Grizzlies, 3-2.
Of the four teams that comprise the top two seeds in each conference, three could potentially be bounced in the first round. Already, it's been a wild two weeks.
Unless, of course, you're the defending champion Miami Heat. They swept their way past the Charlotte Bobcats and are sunning themselves on South Beach as they await their next opponent.
Rest-assured, it won't be that easy for the Heat the rest of the way.
Man, it's great to be talking about basketball again.

The Venice High baseball team jumped out to a five-run lead and coasted past Cathedral Catholic (Calif.), 7-3, in the quarterfinal round of the National High School Invitational on Thursday.
Tyson Albert and winner Cooper Hammond combined for a two-hitter against a team that scored 14 runs in its opener.
Hammond pitched four innings of relief, striking out four. Of his 42 pitches, 30 were strikes.
"Cooper was outstanding and kept them off balance the whole time, like he always does," Venice coach Craig Faulkner said. "It was a really good team we were facing."
Albert started hurled three innings with three strikeouts.
"He got a little tired," Faulkner said. "We went to Cooper a little earlier than we wanted. But Albert did a nice job."
Faulkner went to Rhett Dinka as a pinch-hitter in the second inning and he delivered a two-run single.
Josh Grubbs, the No. 9 hitter, knocked in two runs.
"Grubbs put the ball in play in big situations," Faulkner said.
Mike Rivera collected two hits and a walk for the winners.
"Rivera continues to hit the ball very well," Faulkner said.
Colton Lightner scored three times after getting a single and a walk.
"We played some good baseball today," Faulkner said. "We got some bunts down."
On the entire atmosphere of the national tournament, Faulkner said, "It's pretty neat. There are a lot of great players and teams here."
Venice returns to action noon Friday against Harvard-Westlake, another team out of California. The game will be streaming live at USABaseball.com.

Testing for Ultraviolet Toxicity Using Fungi
Marcelo Vital and Patricia Esperón
In this article, we describe a laboratory project quantifying the effects of UV radiation on a suspension of living cells. This laboratory experiment was designed for undergraduate students in biochemistry. The experiment was carried out employing different fungi strains, changing the dosage of radiation, the distance to the UV source, and the exposure period to the UV radiation. The quantity of viable spores was calculated and the doseresponse curves were drawn. Students were able to prove that 100% of mortality was achieved with the longest time of exposure.

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a powerful technique used to detect and amplify a specific DNA sequence. In this experiment, DNA is isolated from commercially available corn meal and corn-muffin mixes, then a sequence unique to transgenic plants is amplified by PCR. The amplified sequence is identified by its size (192 base pairs) by agarose gel electrophoresis. This experiment could be used in either a biochemistry course or in an analytical chemistry course in a curriculum that integrates biochemistry throughout the course work.

Liver and Onions: DNA Extraction from Animal and Plant Tissues
Karen J. Nordell, Anne-Marie L. Jackelen, S. Michael Condren, George C. Lisensky, and Arthur B. Ellis*
This activity, which allows students to extract DNA from plant and animal cells, serves as a spectacular example of the complexity of biochemical structure and function and fits well with a discussion of nucleic acids, hydrogen bonding, genetic coding, and heredity. DNA extraction can also be used in conjunction with a discussion of polymers and their properties.

Nokia phone combats domestic violence
Dial H for Hope
Used or abused partners now have a new source of help, thanks to Nokia, which has launched a handset for victims of domestic violence.
A domestic violence helpline number is pre-programmed into Nokia's 2705
The 2705 Shade has the telephone number of the National Domestic Violence Hotline (NDVH) pre-programmed into the contact list, Nokia said.
The idea is that 2705 users with abusive partners only need flip the phone open and select "#HOPE" – the NDVH's moniker - from the address book, before being put through to the helpful hotline.
The phone is available with or without a 1.3Mp integrated camera and is compatible with Nokia's Xpress-on covers.
A UK launch date or price for the Nokia 2705 Shade hasn't been confirmed. ®

FIRST- I would just like to say, that Bella has it together more than I do. I understand that she didnt have much time to really talk it out with Edward the first few hours she saw him again...but PLEASE BELIEVE that I would have LOST it..I can't belive she didnt push and punch and cry and scream at him for being so insensitive and cruel, even though he realizes he wanted to be with her more than away from her... anywho...here are my answers.. : )
1. What did you think of Alice's bribe? What does it say to you that she not only had that much cash handy, but that she thought it would take that much money to bribe the officer?
It was totally a Cullen thing to do. Money is no object to them liek it is to other people. It made me laugh.
2. Did you ever think Bella wasn't going to make it in time to save Edward?
I Knew she would bc there were 2 more books after New Moon. BUT..I definetly didnt think they would get off so easy.
3. How did you respond when Edward assumed they were both dead?
I was like..SNAP OUT OF IT!! I was sad to see how dazed and zombie-like that he became, he gave up in his life..
4. Edward pretty much gave up the moment tiny, little Jane approached. What was your assumption about Jane when you first saw her - be honest!
She had more power than she deserved, shes so young. All the power got to her head, kind of intimidating too.
5. Bella assumed that Edward was being nice, but not romantic, by protecting her as they made their way down the tunnel. What did you think of the way he was holding her and protecting her?
I was heartbroken, I was starting to believe he wasnt trying to be with her anymore...or it was all a front. JUST GIVE IN ALREADY!! Thats what I thought.

The simple fact that Relic is making another game in the 40K universe should be enough to pique many fans' interest. The real twist, however, is that they're branching off from the series' traditional videogame adaptation as a real time strategy game. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine puts players squarely in the seven-foot, thousand-pound boots of Captain Titus. The heroic Space Marine is described as a heavily-armored badass who is "humanity's last hope for survival in a dark future that knows only war." I recently had a chance to play through an early build featuring four levels pulled from different parts of the game's main campaign.
The look of Space Marine will be immediately identifiable to those familiar with the 40K universe. Massive, war-torn Gothic architecture takes on a sense of scale not fully realized in previous games in the Warhammer universe. Trademark weapons and armor are instantly recognizable to fans. It's clearly a Warhammer 40K game, and the fan-favorite pastime of sawing Orks in half translates quite well to a third-person perspective.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is a third-person shooter; however, whereas most shooters these days are geared towards mid to long-range combat, Space Marine takes a short to mid-range approach. Battles are violent, bloody, and chaotic, and players will regularly find themselves fluidly switching between melee and ranged attacks as each battle unfolds. Brutal finishing moves and power-charged Fury attacks are supplemented by the ability to charge headlong into battle and send enemies flying. Of the game's fifteen weapons, only a semi-automatic, cover-piercing weapon called the Stalker Pattern Bolter, is scoped. Snipers need not apply.
Health and armor in Space Marine is of the recharging variety - with a twist. Players can still retreat from the line of fire to regenerate their protective layers, but since Space Marines aren't known for retreating and hiding, the armor and health meters can be similarly refilled by unleashing deadly finishers on nearby enemies. The result is a system that encourages you to dive deeper into a battle, rather than flee.
Another refreshing aspect of Space Marine is its lack of the ubiquitous cover system used by many modern shooters. After all, the notion of seven-foot warriors in one-ton armor hiding behind stuff is kind of ridiculous. In practical terms, this also means that players are almost constantly on the move while in combat.
BOOM video 8737
Most of the enemies present in the demo were of the Space Ork-variety - though they came in all shapes and sizes, some armed or armored more heavily than others. Heavy shield-carrying "Ard Boy" Orks were best dispatched at close range, as were the swarms of tiny Gretchin Orks and slightly larger Melee Boys. Of course, the large Orkish Warbosses proved a good bit tougher to take down.
One of the levels also showed off a couple of units from the Chaos faction - former Space Marines and Imperial Guard soldiers driven mad by the Chaos Gods. Tainted Psykers hovered over the battlefield, spawning Bloodletter Daemons that would warp into close range before attacking. Tactics for fighting the Orks was quite different from fighting the minions of Chaos - a good sign of variety.
Though I only sampled four missions and confronted twelve of the game's twenty-six enemy types, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine already seems like it does an effective job of translating ballets of bolters and chainswords into the realm of a third-person shooter. Based on my time with the game, I'm cautiously optimistic about Space Marine's potential to deliver a successful Warhammer 40K game that is far more about action than strategy.

The 'Undue Weight' of Truth on Wikipedia
Mark Shaver for The Chronicle Review
By Timothy Messer-Kruse
For the past 10 years I've immersed myself in the details of one of the most famous events in American labor history, the Haymarket riot and trial of 1886. Along the way I've written two books and a couple of articles about the episode. In some circles that affords me a presumption of expertise on the subject. Not, however, on Wikipedia.
The bomb thrown during an anarchist rally in Chicago sparked America's first Red Scare, a high-profile show trial, and a worldwide clemency movement for the seven condemned men. Today the martyrs' graves are a national historic site, the location of the bombing is marked by a public sculpture, and the event is recounted in most American history textbooks. Its Wikipedia entry is detailed and elaborate.
A couple of years ago, on a slow day at the office, I decided to experiment with editing one particularly misleading assertion chiseled into the Wikipedia article. The description of the trial stated, "The prosecution, led by Julius Grinnell, did not offer evidence connecting any of the defendants with the bombing. … "
Coincidentally, that is the claim that initially hooked me on the topic. In 2001 I was teaching a labor-history course, and our textbook contained nearly the same wording that appeared on Wikipedia. One of my students raised her hand: "If the trial went on for six weeks and no evidence was presented, what did they talk about all those days?" I've been working to answer her question ever since.
I have not resolved all the mysteries that surround the bombing, but I have dug deeply enough to be sure that the claim that the trial was bereft of evidence is flatly wrong. One hundred and eighteen witnesses were called to testify, many of them unindicted co-conspirators who detailed secret meetings where plans to attack police stations were mapped out, coded messages were placed in radical newspapers, and bombs were assembled in one of the defendants' rooms.
In what was one of the first uses of forensic chemistry in an American courtroom, the city's foremost chemists showed that the metallurgical profile of a bomb found in one of the anarchists' homes was unlike any commercial metal but was similar in composition to a piece of shrapnel cut from the body of a slain police officer. So overwhelming was the evidence against one of the defendants that his lawyers even admitted that their client spent the afternoon before the Haymarket rally building bombs, arguing that he was acting in self-defense.
So I removed the line about there being "no evidence" and provided a full explanation in Wikipedia's behind-the-scenes editing log. Within minutes my changes were reversed. The explanation: "You must provide reliable sources for your assertions to make changes along these lines to the article."
That was curious, as I had cited the documents that proved my point, including verbatim testimony from the trial published online by the Library of Congress. I also noted one of my own peer-reviewed articles. One of the people who had assumed the role of keeper of this bit of history for Wikipedia quoted the Web site's "undue weight" policy, which states that "articles should not give minority views as much or as detailed a description as more popular views." He then scolded me. "You should not delete information supported by the majority of sources to replace it with a minority view."
The "undue weight" policy posed a problem. Scholars have been publishing the same ideas about the Haymarket case for more than a century. The last published bibliography of titles on the subject has 1,530 entries.
"Explain to me, then, how a 'minority' source with facts on its side would ever appear against a wrong 'majority' one?" I asked the Wiki-gatekeeper. He responded, "You're more than welcome to discuss reliable sources here, that's what the talk page is for. However, you might want to have a quick look at Wikipedia's civility policy."
I tried to edit the page again. Within 10 seconds I was informed that my citations to the primary documents were insufficient, as Wikipedia requires its contributors to rely on secondary sources, or, as my critic informed me, "published books." Another editor cheerfully tutored me in what this means: "Wikipedia is not 'truth,' Wikipedia is 'verifiability' of reliable sources. Hence, if most secondary sources which are taken as reliable happen to repeat a flawed account or description of something, Wikipedia will echo that."
Tempted to win simply through sheer tenacity, I edited the page again. My triumph was even more fleeting than before. Within seconds the page was changed back. The reason: "reverting possible vandalism." Fearing that I would forever have to wear the scarlet letter of Wikipedia vandal, I relented but noted with some consolation that in the wake of my protest, the editors made a slight gesture of reconciliation—they added the word "credible" so that it now read, "The prosecution, led by Julius Grinnell, did not offer credible evidence connecting any of the defendants with the bombing. … " Though that was still inaccurate, I decided not to attempt to correct the entry again until I could clear the hurdles my anonymous interlocutors had set before me.
So I waited two years, until my book on the trial was published. "Now, at last, I have a proper Wikipedia leg to stand on," I thought as I opened the page and found at least a dozen statements that were factual errors, including some that contradicted their own cited sources. I found myself hesitant to write, eerily aware that the self-deputized protectors of the page were reading over my shoulder, itching to revert my edits and tutor me in Wiki-decorum. I made a small edit, testing the waters.
My improvement lasted five minutes before a Wiki-cop scolded me, "I hope you will familiarize yourself with some of Wikipedia's policies, such as verifiability and undue weight. If all historians save one say that the sky was green in 1888, our policies require that we write 'Most historians write that the sky was green, but one says the sky was blue.' … As individual editors, we're not in the business of weighing claims, just reporting what reliable sources write."
I guess this gives me a glimmer of hope that someday, perhaps before another century goes by, enough of my fellow scholars will adopt my views that I can change that Wikipedia entry. Until then I will have to continue to shout that the sky was blue.
Timothy Messer-Kruse is a professor in the School of Cultural and Critical Studies at Bowling Green State University. He is author of The Trial of the Haymarket Anarchists: Terrorism and Justice in the Gilded Age (Palgrave Macmillan, 2011) and The Haymarket Conspiracy: Transatlantic Anarchist Networks, to be published later this year by the University of Illinois Press.

T.J. Warren had 22 points and eight rebounds to lead No. 6 North Carolina State to a 72-55 win over Penn State in the opening round of the Puerto Rico Tipoff on Thursday.
C.J. Leslie had 14 points and Rodney Purvis added 12 points for the Wolfpack (2-0). Purvis was 3 for 3 on 3-pointers and N.C. State shot 8 for 16 from beyond the arc.
"It was a good, physical game," N.C. State coach Mark Gottfried said. "It's good for us to play a strong, physical team that will challenge us around the basket and Penn State did that. Defensively, at times, we were very good. And, at times, we were disinterested defensively."
Tim Frazier led the Nittany Lions (1-1) with 23 points. D.J. Newbill had 13 points and Jermaine Marshall added 11 points for Penn State, which shot 3 for 19 on 3-pointers.
"They put the ball in Frazier's hands so much," Gottfried said. "When he penetrated and pitched it to somebody else, for the most part we got a hand up and covered the shooters pretty good, and they had a lot of tough shots."
Leading 37-30 early in the second half, N.C. State went on a 10-0 run to put the game away. Leslie had five points in the run and also assisted on Richard Howell's 3-point play.
Warren had five points in the Wolfpack's 10-2 run early in the first half.
"T.J. and Rodney gave us a great scoring lift when we needed it in the first half," Gottfried said.
N.C. State will face Providence or Massachusetts in a second-round game on Friday.
"I think we will be all right by January. I really do. I like my team," Penn State coach Patrick Chambers said. "That's the goal of the nonconference, play teams like this, prepare yourself to play in the Big Ten."

The publication is intended to provide UNDP with the capacity for sustainable energy programme and policy development at the country level; to help identify and develop specific energy interventions in existing programmes; and to provide practical models demonstrating how energy could be used as an instrument for sustainable human development.
The review is a useful resource for policy-makers seeking an overview of forestry / bio-energy regulation and promotion, and project proponents seeking to develop CDM or voluntary market carbon projects. The chapters are organized in terms of the production cycle, beginning with forest bio-carbon and then moving into domestic bio-energy and charcoal production.
Biomass and biomass residues, if sourced in an environmentally and socially sustainable fashion, represent a vast – and largely untapped – renewable energy source for the countries of sub-Saharan Africa. The guide seeks to outline the potential, taking the Ethiopian cement sector as a specific example of how biomass energy might be deployed in practice.

Take your cap off of your dist. and see if the rotor turns when you crank it.The little pin may have went Kaputsky.
Ok will check later, thanks.
Posted 07 December 2005 - 07:29 PM
Posted 08 December 2005 - 12:19 AM
Also check to see that voltage is getting to both sides of the coil with the ignition on. If that is ok the problem is in the disty.
Well before this happened I use to hear a ticking sound and that has since quit, I checked the rotary button under the dizzy cap and it moved so I know the timing chain isnt broke because it let out a good backfire before it was down for the count, so what was the ticking sound, im hoping its the dizzy.

water in disty?

Not sure if it would matter while its running, but there is a resistor under the ignition coil, thats what went bad on mine.

Here we go again!
I'm with you on this one. Start with the coil, and then work your way towards the problem. If you determine the coil is fine, then you can start worrying about the disty, or if you aren't getting power to the coil, you can follow that back.
Did you check for voltage getting to both sides of the coil?
Posted 10 December 2005 - 02:40 AM
cold weather 20 deg
I havent checked the voltage on the coil yet due to lack of time, been driving my toyota instead (missing ole' red). Im thinking that it might have jumped time so instead of going through all that garbage,also it has a burnt valve on the number one cylinder. I found a severly rusted 83 Brat with dual range 4x4 for $250 so I am going to buy that for the motor due to it only having 50,000 miles. I wont need the tranny or the body of the brat so....Anyone want to buy a rusted through brat with a dual range tranny? Anyone know what I could out of one off ebay?
