Hi all, got a 90' OHC 5sp loyale, driving lately the car will be doing great, but when the light turns green at a busy intersection, my car will randomly not go into first gear, and trying to get it into first, manages to grind and make me cringe at the sound, then will suddenly pop in, shift smooth through all gears. this is totally random so im not sure what the case is, do i just need to adjust the clutch cable? is the pressure plate going maybe? clutch is 2 years old. Done a clutch cable on someone elses GL but other than that i am unfamiliar with clutch stuff, other than using it to drive lol, so thanks in advance For any ideas or input.

tighten it up. sounds like the clutch is dragging just enough to turn the synchros. I bet you have trouble in reverse, too.
tighten it, but not too tight, but just enough to take the slack out of the cable, that's all.

Alright thanks for the tip! im on it, and yeah reverse has been a bit of trouble too, ever since this cold weather second gear and reverse make a rubbery squeak when they go in lol. thanks guys will update after i adjust the cable.

well i adjusted it and it seems to be a bit smoother now, it is very cold and snowing pretty good over here, i think a new clutch cable will need to be in order here soon at the dealership as im sure this one is very old and stretching, and its an easy job, so all is well for now, thanks all, cheers!

Boeing to test fuel-cell powered publicity plane
Reveals distinct lack of interest in fuel-cells
Boeing's European research centre has developed an experimental fuel-cell-powered manned aircraft, which is about to begin testing.
The US aerospace giant's Madrid-based Boeing Research & Technology Europe (BR&TE) business unit has been working on the "Fuel Cell Demonstrator Airplane" (FCDA) project since 2001.
A clutch of European companies and universities have provided most of the technology, and flight tests will be conducted this year in Spain.
The demonstrator is actually a modified glider rather than a conventional powered airframe, unsurprisingly considering the low output offered by current fuel-cell technology. Even with a glider's lessened thrust requirement, and only a single pilot aboard, the FCDA cannot take off or climb on fuel-cell power alone. It has a battery pack, which supplies extra power to the electrically-driven propeller to get it off the ground.
The programme isn't intended to be a real fuel-cell aircraft, but it "will demonstrate for the first time that a manned airplane can maintain a straight level flight with fuel cells as the only power source".
That isn't exactly a massive achievement for the fuel cell. It's actually rather less than the performance that can be achieved using the pilot's muscles: a human-powered aircraft took off without supplementary energy sources and flew across the English Channel as long ago as 1979.
Even this relatively unimpressive milestone hasn't been easy to reach. Flight tests were originally scheduled for 2004. That slipped to "late 2004 or early 2005", and then to this year. Six years of development to arrive with less capability than a late-'70s flying pedalo doesn't seem like a brilliant deal for Boeing's shareholders. But the company isn't worried.
"The participating companies...are sharing the project research costs," according to Boeing. And anyway, these costs aren't large. Michael Friend, BR&TE programs eirector, estimated $1.5m in 2003. This sort of cash is peanuts to Boeing; it'd happily pay that much just for the headlines this project has earned, and the slight tinge of eco-friendliness thereby added to the company's otherwise not-exactly-green reputation.
And it is a pretty faint tinge of green, actually. "Fuel cells are emission-free and quieter than hydrocarbon fuel-powered engines. They save fuel and are cleaner for the environment," says the Boeing release, and of course this is true. But hydrogen for fuel cells has to be made using energy. Hydrogen-powered engines merely shift the emissions/waste problems to the fuel plant; they don't eliminate them.
There will never be enough solar or wind power even to supply existing electricity demand, let alone even more to make hydrogen with. Useful fuel-cell planes – even if they could be built – wouldn't allow the human race to get by without hydrocarbon or nuclear power.
Anyway, Boeing admits outright that "fuel cells and electric motors will not replace jet engines on commercial transports". In other words, they will have no significant environmental impact on the aviation industry.
The most the company really hopes for the technology is that it might replace the present Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) fitted in airliners. The APU is a small extra jet engine, usually mounted in the tail, which can provide electric power to the aircraft's systems, either in an emergency or when the main engines are shut down on the ground. Even that's a long way off.
So much for Boeing's new green credentials. But the company is probably looking for other PR benefits from the FCDA. In particular, Boeing would like to generate a bit of goodwill outside the US.
"It's about establishing relationships with companies and universities, especially in Europe," said Friend. Or perhaps more accurately, it's about chumming up to European governments who have a lot of influence over airlines - Boeing's main customers. A lot of European national airlines operate Boeing planes, and Boeing would like this to continue.
But Boeing don't expect to unseat the likes of Airbus and EADS in European affections. It'll happily put on sideshows like this one in Europe. But when Boeing has a genuine big-budget hi-tech demonstrator to build, which it thinks might actually lead somewhere important, it won't give the job to BR&TE in Madrid. The X-37 hypersonic spaceplane, for instance, seems more likely to be put together at the Phantom Works in America.
If Boeing really believed in fuel-cell planes, it'd be doing the same thing with those. But it doesn't – it's admitted as much. ®

Submission + - Intel's liquid CPU cooler: Is water worth the cost (extremetech.com)
MrSeb writes: "When Intel launched its high-end 3960X CPU last month, it also debuted a new liquid cooling solution. Typical boxed Intel CPUs ship with a heatsink+fan, but the company noted that the majority of its enthusiast customers bought third-party solutions. The new liquid cooler — it goes by the inspiring moniker of RTS2011LC — is meant to offer enthusiasts and OEMs an Intel-brand solution they'll actually use. But is water cooling really necessary? Like its quad-core "Extreme Edition" predecessors, the 3960X still dissipates 130W — and more tellingly, Intel even states that it'll be releasing a sub-$20 air cooler for Sandy Bridge-E and Ivy Bridge-E chips anyway. So is it worth plunking down $85 for the new RTS2011LC? Does it provide the kind of performance that Intel's stereotypical "enthusiast" customers need? ExtremeTech goes hands-on to find out."

After six weeks of deliberation, three British Muslim men were convicted today of plotting to kill "persons unknown" but were not found guilty of orchestrating an airline bomb plot.
Authorities had charged Abdulla Ahmed Ali, Assad Sarwar and Tanvir Hussain with plotting to simultaneously blow up seven passenger jets with liquid bombs as they flew from London to the US and Canada.
At U.S. urging, British police moved in well before the men had finalized their plans.
"So the police move happened earlier than we would otherwise have done, so the plots were intercepted when they were only really half-formed, but there's no doubt what the intention was," said Michael Clarke, director of the Royal United Services Institute.
Another suspect, Mohammad Gulzar, was cleared of all charges, while the jury could not reach verdicts for three other accused men - Ibrahim Savant, Umar Islam, Waheed Zaman, and Arafat Waheed Khan.
"No doubt about it that al Qaeda directed this attempt to bring down multiple airlines over the Atlantic, probably some of them over American soil so that this created as big an outrage as 9/11," said Clarke.
Terrorism expert Phil Mudd of the FBI's National Security Branch applauded his "British brothers" for the convinctions that did come in.
"I'm not a legal expert but I can tell you many crimes, if you commit the crime of murder, or sell drugs you have an act that's been committed," said Mudd. "In this case it's a conspiracy that hasn't. I know these are difficult to prove, but in terms of an intelligence perspective they got three convictions."
The plot involved liquid explosives – concentrated hydrogen peroxide – to be smuggled on board in sports drinks bottles, dyed orange with Tang.
A key piece of evidence in the case was a surveillance video of the ringleaders allegedly on a shopping trip to buy components for their bombs. Jurors also saw videos that authorities said were left as suicide notes and which the men planned to have released after their deaths.
The Devastating Power of a Liquid Bomb
BBC News commissioned a demonstration of the effects of a liquid bomb on an airplane fuselage recovered from a scrap yard.
See the full demonstration video tonight on World News with Charles Gibson and Nightline.
This video shows the potential effect on an airplane if a liquid bomb was detonated inside. Explosives engineer Dr. Sidney Alford was brought in to concoct a liquid bomb using ingredients and techniques similar to those devised by the terrorists. Following their plans, Dr. Alford filled a sports drink bottle with a mixture of concentrated hydrogen peroxide and powdered orange Tang.
The sports drink bottle was placed inside the plane in front of a row of a passenger seats and then detonated. Multiple camera angles of the blast show that it caused devastating damage to the interior of the plane as well as blowing a huge, gaping hole in the wall of the fuselage. If the plane had been in flight when the blast occurred, it would almost certainly have been brought down.

I can't seem to get the instrumentation's count to make even closely to what PAPI_FP_INS is giving me.
So, I was wondering what PAPI_FP_INS is really counting. Does it count floating point loads and stores?
What does PAPI consider as an FP instruction?

Snow banks causing headaches for drivers following storm | News
BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) --- Drivers across the state are dealing with an irritating left over from last week's snow storm.
Snow banks have grown on city streets and in parking lots around Bangor as crews have moved the powder to get the streets clear. As a result many drivers are using caution in trying to get around the banks as the snow is making it harder for them to see traffic before pulling out onto some roadways.
Officials with Bangor's public works department say crews are working around the clock to get rid of the snow. Workers have been cleaning up city parking lots during the day and removing snow from streets downtown at night. For that reason a parking ban downtown will be in place for the rest of the week.
"We'll deal with that and try to keep our removal operations on schedule here," said Dana Wardwell, who is the city's director of public works, "by the end of the week we should be in pretty good shape with the downtown being cleaned up and all the parking lots."
Public works officials want to remind drivers that while they will be working to clear the streets of snow, they will not be removing snow from parking lots for shopping centers. If snow piles are big in a lot drivers should use caution while driving around them.

QUEENS, N.Y. - The Columbia men's soccer team went on the road for its final out-of-conference Tuesday night, falling to the Red Storm of St. John's, 3-1, at Belson Field.
St. John's produced its first scoring chance in the 13th minute. From 10 yards out, Jordan Rouse one-timed a shot towards the far post that Kyle Jackson laid out and knocked wide of the net to keep the match tied, 0-0.
Kofi Agyapong responded with a shot of his own in the 21st minute, but St. John's keeper Rafael Diaz cut the ball off. Jackson came up with another good stop in the 33rd minute, stopping a blast from Brandon Savino aimed directly at the top right corner.
Jack Bennett would have one final scoring chance in the final minute of the half for St. John's, but his shot would go just wide of the left post. The Red Storm finished the first 45 minutes with seven shots, while the St. John's defense held Columbia to just one attempt.
The St. John's offense would break through just 29 seconds into second half. The Red Storm sent a cross in from the left corner that bounced around in the box and eventually found the head of a diving Nick Matthews, breaking the scoreless tie.
The Red Storm made it 2-0 in the 64th minute, as Jelani Williams corralled a pass from Jimmy Mulligan down the right side, turned and sent a hard shot to the far post for the goal.
Although the Columbia offense struggled to create any momentum through the first 25 minutes of the second half, Henning Sauerbier got the Lions on the board in the 73rd minute. Agyapong passed a nice ball through from the far sideline to Sauerbier who blasted it into the net to bring Columbia within one, 2-1.
The tilt in Columbia's favor would be short-lived, as just under three minutes later St. John's posted its third goal of the contest. Jimmy Mulligan chipped a shot from about 40 yards out that had enough air under it to float over an extended Jackson and into the back of the goal.
Sauerbier had one more shot on net in the 86th minute, but his left-footed shot was saved by Diaz. St. John's finished the game with 15 shots, while Columbia managed just three. Jackson came up with four saves in the goal for Columbia and Diaz made saves on each of the Lions' two shots on goal.
Ivy League action begins for Columbia Saturday night when the Lions visit Providence, R.I. for a matchup at Brown. Game time is set for 7 p.m.

US college girls: Fatter roomie helps control 1st-year plumpening
Rubenesque cohabitees set good example, apparently
In a groundbreaking study, American researchers reveal that all US college girls tend to find their clothes fitting tighter in their first year as they gain weight. However, in a shock finding, it seems that those who are assigned a plump roommate will embulgen themselves less than those who find themselves living with a skinny.
The college argot phrase "freshman 15" is used in the States to describe the extra wobble acquired by undergraduates in their first year as they quaff booze, scoff tuck from all-you-can-eat dining halls and cease the often compulsory exercise insisted on by high schools.
According to a new study on female first-years (still called "freshmen" in the States) at the University of Michigan, however, the waistbands and zippers of America's youth aren't put under quite such severe strain as the term suggests. Rather than a skirt-splitting 15 pounds, the girls in the study put on 2.5 pounds if they had a "slim" roommate, and just half a pound if they were paired up with a porker.
"This finding seems counterintuitive, but there are some good explanations for why it may be happening," said Kandice Kapinos, a sociologist involved in the study.
"It's not really the weight of your roommate that's important, but the behaviors your roommate engages in. These behaviors are what may really be 'contagious.'"
Rather than swilling lager, gorging on chocs and the leaving of top buttons undone, the behaviours Kapinos refers to are such ones as dieting and going to the gym. Overweight roommates are likelier to do such things, thus encouraging freshers into healthier habits.
Kapinos and her colleague Olga Yakusheva, collaborating on the young-girl plumpening study, say that it flies in the face of established wisdom which states that mixing with fatties tends to make you fatter. But apparently this ignores the crucial factor of randomness.
"Previous studies have suggested that having an obese spouse, friend or sibling increases one's likelihood of becoming obese," Kapinos said. "But these relationships are obviously not random. People pick their friends and spouses, and they often select people who are similar to themselves. And even though we don't pick our siblings, we share a genetic inheritance and an early environment that may influence adult weight."
The two social scientists consider that their research may be important against the background of a US youth population whose buttons are apparently pinging off their clothes left and right. According to this statement on the study, issued yesterday by Michigan uni:
The topic of peer influences on weight gain and weight management is important since obesity prevalence in young adults, aged 18 to 29, increased by 96 percent from 1988 to 2006—the largest percentage increase for all age groups.
These figures, however, are based on the widely-discredited Body Mass Index (BMI) system, which is based on the idea that human bodies are two-dimensional rather than three-dimensional, producing some bizarre results (professional athletes' BMI has climbed massively as they have become fitter and more muscular, for instance). Recent studies have suggested that an "overweight" BMI should probably now be taken as "normal" in terms of health consequences, and even an "obese" BMI has no health downside for the under-40s. ®

The Arts Center of Cannon County is pleased to announce the opening of
David LeDoux: Paintings 1978 – 2003
Tim Treadway: Knobs Finials Spindles Grids
Through March 21, 2013
Gallery Opening and Reception – March 7, 2013, 6:30-8:30PM
(free and open to the public)
"Our best aspirations should surely lead in the direction of angels." David LeDoux
The paintings in this exhibition are a selection from a body of work done between 1978 and 2003. Over time this evolved into a project that can be grouped into five sections based on the primary ground color that appears in each work. From 1975-1985, the paintings are primarily pastels; 1985 to 1990, the paintings are primarily black: from 1990 to 1995, they are primarily red; from 1995 – 2000, they are primarily violet; from 2000 to 2003 they are primarily blue. This work was made improvisational, trusting knowledge of the process based on sixty-plus years of experience in making painting. There is an overarching commonality in the body of work but the individual pieces differ a good deal in the images that appear in them.
Tim Treadway was born in Nashville, TN. He received his BFA from MTSU studying under David LeDoux in painting and Jim Gibson in sculpture. Tim is a master mason who specializes in stone work. His sculpture is inspired by nature, antique salvage, and woodworking tools with the goal is to create with freshness, originality and spontaneity. Mr. Treadway's work is divided into two approaches. In one series, He utilizes shaped blocks of wood arranged in a geometric framework by designing shapes and organizing into a rigid grid. The other series consists of an organic assemblage of weathered wooden objects. The found objects are either from nature or machine manipulated. Tim states "I prefer using the objects as they are found resulting in weathered and antique surfaces. A sense of floating is achieved when the piece hands from overhead."
Admission to this exhibit is free and open to the public. The Marly Berger Gallery located in The Arts Center of Cannon County is open 10 a.m.-4:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The Arts Center is located on 1424 John Bragg Highway, just west of the town of Woodbury, approximately 20 minutes from Murfreesboro, Manchester, and McMinnville and one hour southeast of Nashville. Office hours are 10:00AM to 4:00PM, Monday through Saturday. For more information pleased call 615-563-2787 or 1-800-235-9073
Founded in 1990, the award-winning Arts Center of Cannon County is a unique model for rural arts organizations. Situated in an under-served rural area in a town of 2,000 and a county of 12,000, The Arts Center annually attracts more than 40,000 visitors from a region covering over a 100-mile radius. Drawing on the blue-collar roots of its community, the organization focuses on self-sufficiency, fiscal responsibility and social entrepreneurship. The Arts Center is partially funded by the Tennessee Arts Commission, Southern Arts Federation and the National Endowment for the Arts.

M2M In The Spotlight
Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications have been a buzzed-about growth market for years now, but heading in 2013, there are more signs than ever that M2M is a market carriers, telecom providers and channel partners can't ignore.
According to Machina Research, the number of M2M connections worldwide is expected to hit 18 billion in 2022 -- astronomical growth from the estimated 2.4 billion tracked at the end of 2012. Consumer electronics and "intelligent building sectors" will account for about 70 percent of those connections, and 90 percent of the revenue potential -- some $400 billion, Machina projects -- will come from the services wrap-around, not the provision of basic mobile connectivity. Good news for specialists in areas like SaaS, it seems.
Major carriers and service providers are also making more investments in M2M. Verizon, for example, bought Hughes Telematics in June for $612 million -- a bargain if M2M tech grows the way it's expected to.

Phyllis Miles
22 March 2013
20th July 1936 – 18th January 2013
Many of you will be aware of the passing of Phyllis Miles, the mother of Nicky Miles. A stalwart of the ISTD competitions nationally and Grand Finals, she was a demanding organiser who kept much of the proceedings in order. Through thorough and attentive preparation, Phyllis was relied on to produce much of the preparatory work needed for the running of the ISTD events.
Busily involved with and known to many teachers of the Society, she was a candid character who suffered no fools and kept everyone in line as far as their entries were concerned for all the events. In fact, much of this toil kept her occupied while she was being treated for her illness.
Last seen at Blackpool Grand Finals, many competitors will have known and seen her selling the programmes, generally overseeing behind the scenes and offering help to those who needed. Many people have their own memories of her and so many came to pay their last respects to Phyllis on 13th February at Bobbing Crematorium.
More than 300 people waited in respectful anticipation, in freezing conditions, yet the sun managed to shine briefly as the coffin arrived in splendid floral decoration, evoking thoughts of Phyllis' love of flowers. Charming consideration had been taken to provide the beautiful service and one of the tunes, English Country Garden, announcing her arrival, gave us insight to her main passion, gardening. It was a fitting tribute musically, as was the eulogy read by Len Goodman. His comedic style added a breath of happiness in the celebration of Phyllis' life and it allowed Nicky and his brother Kevin to smile during this wonderful, yet very sad service for their much beloved mother.
As Phyllis would always say, "See ya when I see ya", and no doubt we all say the same in our fond memories. Rest in peace.
Mark Willemite
Thank you to all those who sent cards and attended the funeral, and to those that have helped me so much over the last few weeks, especially Mark, Fiona, Sue and Len.
Nicky Miles

ARARAT - The State Coalition Government is supporting business and economic development in Ararat Rural City with $75,000 funding announced by Nationals Member for Western Victoria, David O'Brien.
Mr O'Brien said Ararat Rural City Council would use the funding to employ a Small Business Development Officer.
"Within Council boundaries there are 375 non-agricultural small businesses, employing almost 800 people and forming a key part of Ararat's local economy," Mr O'Brien said.
"The Small Business Development Officer will work to increase the number and strength of local small businesses, creating a good investment and return for the Ararat economy.
"The officer will assist existing and new home-based, shop front and mobile service businesses by providing marketing opportunities and focused training on technology opportunities."
Mr O'Brien said the project aimed to increase the number of small businesses in Ararat Rural City by creating a positive environment for growth and supporting small businesses by facilitating sales and promotion activities.
"It also aims to create economic pathways for additional employment opportunities and strengthen the skill level of the small business community through training and education in information and communication technology," Mr O'Brien said.
"The project will help business adjust to a changing economic environment, building on the town's resilience by increasing skill levels, identifying new business opportunities and increasing economic activity."
Mr O'Brien said Victorian Government funding to employ the Small Business Development Officer would be provided through the Local Skills Partnerships program to Ararat Rural City Council, which will contribute $58,360.
The two-year appointment of the Small Business Development Officer is expected to take effect shortly.

Here\'s your one-stop shop for all the banking news you missed this weekend. Among the highlights: The tear-out-your-hair frustration of trying to get a mortgage modified at Bank of America, and the really, really big expectations of London bankers waiting for their bonuses.
Here\'s more:
•Mortgage purgatory: Those accusations about shoddy and frustrating service for struggling homeowners haven\'t gone away, they were just out of the headlines for a while. Bloomberg News is out with a hard-hitting story on Bank of America Corp.\'s efforts (or lack of effort) to help customers who couldn\'t keep up with their mortgage payments. As Bloomberg reports, the bank stalled with repeated requests for paperwork, sent conflicting responses to regulators and customers, and put in charge old hands from Countrywide, a less-than-sparkling visage of mortgage probity. \"Everyone knew that we weren\'t helping people,\"says one former employee of a BofA contractor.
•Really great expectations: Forget cries from shareholders, the government, and a pretty miffed general public to scale back banker pay. Senior bankers in London are expecting a 44% jump in their bonuses this year, says financial recruiting firm Astbury Marsden, to what in U.S. terms would amount to more than $272,000 from about $189,000 a year ago. Astbury Marsden, for its part, says that some bankers are going to be disappointed.
•Resting their cases: The trial of a portfolio manager at hedge fund SAC Capital, accused by the government of insider trading, could go to a jury as early as Monday afternoon.
•Score for Apple Inc. : And, hey, sometimes it\'s OK to toss the BlackBerry. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. employees can now use iPhones for work!

WASHINGTON — The mass shootings that have rocked communities across the country in recent years — from Blacksburg, Va., to Tuscon to Aurora, Colo., to Oak Creek, Wis., to Newtown, Conn. — have left a well-documented trail of carnage and grief.
But those tragedies and others like them also have produced what could prove to be the most formidable, fervent advocates in the looming fight over US gun-control policy: Survivors who know what it feels like to be in the crosshairs of a mass murderer and outspoken families who have lost a loved one to gun violence.
Stephen Barton is among them.
He had planned to spend much of 2013 in Russia, teaching English on a prestigious Fulbright grant.
''I was expecting to be freezing in Siberia right now, drinking vodka,'' joked Barton, 23, who graduated from Syracuse University last spring with a triple major in economics, international relations, and Russian studies.
Instead, after surviving a shotgun blast last summer inside a movie theater in Aurora, undergoing emergency surgery and the physical therapy that followed, he decided on a different line of work. Six months after the shooting, he is a full-time outreach and policy associate for Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a nationwide coalition that pushes for stricter gun controls.
''I said to them: 'I'll do anything and everything. I just want to help out,' " said Barton, who has filmed commercials on behalf of the group and has crisscrossed the country from Colorado to Newtown, speaking with lawmakers and gathering public support for stricter gun controls. ''It's been empowering and, in a way, therapeutic to do this sort of work.''
He is among the growing number of victims who have put their lives on hold to push for better background checks, restrictions on assault weapons, and other measures intended to prevent more deadly killings in the future.
Some met with the gun-violence task force led by Vice President Joe Biden and, like Barton, attended President Obama's rollout of gun-safety proposals that followed.
Others have lobbied lawmakers in their states, pressured retailers that sell certain types of weapons, and held press conferences to call for changes and to give voice to their outrage.
Representative Carolyn McCarthy, Democrat of New York, ran for office after a gunman killed her husband and five other people on a Long Island train in 1993, and she remains one of the most ardent gun-control advocates in Congress.

Opposition to drilling by Congress is a pain in the gas
Dear Editor: Congress has received a plan for drilling for more oil in the good old U.S.A. The oil is in the ground under the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, Montana and North Dakota. Our do-nothing, no-drill Congress thinks we should have less oil for our homes and less gas for our cars.

"Ashes to go": Starting Lent at the train station?
Local Episcopal churches here in Chicago have started distributing ashes a commuter rail and L stations [1] here in Chicago on Ash Wednesday--complete with cassocks, surplices, and stoles for the ordained. Bold and gutsy, I thought. How did people respond?
It looks like many were happy for the opportunity, with plenty of smiles and thanks from commuters. They got some funny looks, too, but overall it was a nice reminder that today is the beginning of Lent for those of us in "Western" Christianity (Roman Catholics, Anglicans, and many liturgical Protestants). In fact it looked like so much fun, I got my ashes right there under the L stop. Would you?
Don't expect to see Catholic priests doing it any time soon, though: Catholic liturgical directives require ashes to be distributed in church, preferably during Mass or another liturgical service. But given the St. Peter's in the Loop here in downtown Chicago offers ashes all day long in the church basement--you just walk in and walk out--why not stand on the sidewalk?

Ottawa | As Canada's Liberal government is on the verge of legalizing marijuana, thousands of Hells Angels members have taken the Parliament by storm to protest the new proposition.
The legalization of marijuana could cost the organized crime hundreds of thousands of jobs, believes the spokesman for the Canadian chapter of the Hells Angels, Jean-Roch Fournier.
"We estimate that Prime minister Justin Trudeau's radical proposition to legalize marijuana could cost us over a hundred thousand jobs," says the former lawyer.
"From growing operations to trimming, packaging, transportation, and selling, this new legislature will threaten the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of Canadian workers" he warns.
A multi-billion dollar industry
The legalization of marijuana could bring in between 5 to 12 billion dollars to the Canadian economy each year, reveals a recent 2014 joint study by the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University.
"Our research suggests more than 7,366,000 people in Canada use pot and we estimate the Canadian pot industry is worth between $5 billion and $12 billion a year, depending on suggested prices" explains Economics professor, Zahir Mahalik.
"Our study evaluated not only the legalization of cannabis on a recreational use basis but also for its inherent potential in the medical and pharmaceutical business, which explains the high numbers" he acknowledged.
"It is obvious the legalization of marijuana will cause major profit losses to organized crime organizations nation-wide," he told local reporters.
A massive blow to organized crime
Many members of organized crime fear they will lose their way of life if legalization is implemented.
"I've been selling weed since I'm 12 years old" admits Gino Ouellet, aged 56 and Hells Angels member for the past 36 years.
"Do you think I'm going to want to go work at Walmart or McDonald's at minimal wage? I don't think so" he told reporters.
"Who's going to want to give me a job? I've got tattoos all over my body and all over my face" asks another protester, Bob Wilkinson, condemned in 1977 for triple homicide.
"It's not the job of the federal government to regulate illegal drugs, they should take care of their own business and leave that to us" he argues.
If marijuana were legalized in Canada, it would be a first among developed nations. In the United States, a number of states have currently legalized marijuana, but it is still illegal at the federal level.

OWENSBORO, Ky. (AP) - State wildlife officials suspect that a disease is causing the deaths of numerous white-tailed deer in a portion of western Kentucky.
Tests results aren't complete, but officials suspect hemorrhagic disease carried by biting gnats is responsible. The disease is not infectious to humans, according to the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources.
The worst outbreak is in McLean County, where more than 20 deer have been reported dead. The dead or weak deer are often found in or near water.
"Hemorrhagic disease is caused by a virus. We see large outbreaks about every two years in Kentucky," said Danny Watson, a KDFWR wildlife biologist.
Other affected counties are Breckinridge, Christian, Daviess, Hopkins, Logan, Muhlenberg, Ohio, Simpson and Webster. Archery season for deer opens statewide Sept. 1.
Tracy Bell, a conservation officer in McLean County, said several people contacted him in the last two weeks to report dead deer. He's retrieved two carcasses, one out of the yard of a home in Daviess County, the other out of a pond in McLean County. Some of the animals were sent to a laboratory in Hopkinsville for testing.
Mike Henshaw, regional program coordinator for KDFWR, said the lab hasn't isolated a cause for the deaths, but with the lack of rain and plenty of stagnant water, conditions are ideal for the spread of gnats.
The last significant outbreak of hemorrhagic disease was 2003, Henshaw said. But that mainly affected another part of the state, leaving the herd in his area with little or no immunity, he said.
Local deer populations can be hit hard. A survey of a farm in Webster County along the Green River found 20 dead deer, Henshaw said. Last Friday, Bell saw five deer carcasses in the water along a stretch of the river, he said. Bell counted three more dead deer in the river near Central City on Sunday.

On a bright, sunny, unseasonably warm day after Thanksgiving, it still managed to snow in downtown San Rafael. It wasn't snow in the strictest sense of the word, but it was real enough for the scores of kids and their parents who lined up before noon on Friday for a sled ride down a gleaming white hill made that morning out of 40 tons of chipped ice run through a special snow-making machine.
"It's somewhat of a mystery to the young ones," said a smiling Steve Restivo, producer of the 33rd annual San Rafael Winter Wonderland and Parade of Lights. "I've got an 8-year-old myself and he'll be the first one down the hill."
Sure enough, little Liam Restivo broke the ice, so to speak, sliding down the sparkling white slope in a red plastic dish to the cheers of the kids and their families lined up down A Street for their turn to do the same thing.
It couldn't be soon enough for 5-year-old Ana Herrera of Novato, who was seeing snow for the first time and had never ridden a sled.
"I'm excited," she said as she waited her turn. "It's taking forever."
The sledding was free once again this year, the first without city funding for the annual holiday season kickoff.
"It's a community event, I love it and I want to keep it free," said Restivo, who lives and works in San Rafael. "But we need community support."
Donation buckets were placed around the hill along with signs saying: "Your tax deductible contributions will help continue this much beloved tradition in this time of economic constraints. Please help preserve this great free local event that touches generations."
Although city funds were no longer available, Restivo said he was able to get some money from a fund set up by Target Stores and from a Bank of America sponsorship.
But he needed donations from parents as well.
"It's nice that the city offers this, that it's free and anyone can go down," said Jonathan Emanuel, director of the religious school at Congregation Kol Shofar in Tiburon, after his 3-year-old son, Judah, enjoyed his a sled ride. "I would certainly give a donation. It's an excellent service."
Booths were being set up along Fourth Street, which was closed to traffic from Lootens Place to B Street. The downtown marketplace was to be open from noon until 8 p.m. A "Parade of Lights" was scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
Arizmendi, a cooperative bakery on Courthouse Square, baked extra cookies and had lots of milk on hand as downtown San Rafael filled with youngsters and their families.
"We're expecting lots of kids," said Sarah Wells, 24, one of the bakery owners. "Kids love milk and cookies."
But kids probably love snow more. After his first sled ride, 13-year-old David Boyce described the experience in one word.
"Awesome," he said, beaming.
Sledding and other kids' activities continue from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday. With any luck and if funding doesn't melt away completely, it will snow again in San Rafael next year.

In a rare bit of literal irony, Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition will let you play offline on the PlayStation 3, eschewing Sony's network DRM. The news was revealed at an Evo 2011 panel, but only recently reached the public at large as Capcom senior VP Christen Svensson answered lingering fan questions online.
"As Derek and I covered in the 3rd Strike panel at Evo, the game does not make use of Sony's network DRM," said Svensson. "It is playable offline. We deemed that very important for future tournament use."
The FAQs were compiled from a much longer Capcom Unity Q&A thread. Among them, Svensson said there are no plans for a PC release, and DLC plans are being held until after the game launches. The game will also support YouTube sharing via a title update, but that may miss the launch date.
The game will kick off Sony's first annual PSN Play promotion, which offers discounts for Plus members, extra content, and a free game for collecting all four. The reward for Street Fighter 3 is a free piece of day-one DLC that unlocks Gill without going through the trouble of finishing the game with all of the fighters. Pre-ordering also nets you a static theme, and the game will be 20% off ($12) if you have a PlayStation Plus membership.
Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Online Edition will be available on PSN on August 23, then on XBLA on August 24, for $14.99 or 1200 MSP, respectively.

Hotel metasearch engine Room 77 today announced it has closed $30.3 million in Series C financing with participation from new investor Expedia, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXPE). The company's existing investors also participated, including Sutter Hill Ventures, General Catalyst Partners, Concur Technologies, Felicis Ventures as well as Expedia's founder Rich Barton, former Expedia CEO Erik Blachford and Spencer Rascoff, CEO of Zillow. This brings Room 77's total capital raised to $43.8 million.
Room 77 is pioneering a better way for travelers to shop for hotels, instantly searching hundreds of travel sites at once to find the best hotel at the best price. Since launching its hotel metasearch platform just a year ago, Room 77 bookings and revenue have accelerated dramatically. In the past nine months alone, the company has driven hundreds of thousands of room nights through its marketplace, recording significant month-over-month growth.
By combining fast and comprehensive search technology with unprecedented service, Room 77 is proving it helps users save time and money – and score a great room. Based on internal analysis of more than five million hotel searches, Room 77 uncovered at least one lower price for travelers in two out of three searches, averaging $72 per stay. And, only Room 77 offers free Room ConciergeTM service, which leverages the company's proprietary room data, such as blueprints and simulated RoomViewSM technology, to help travelers get in a great room when they book through Room 77. The company's consistently high savings and service levels garner high marks from customers, contributing to a repeat booking rate of more than 50 percent.
"We believe metasearch is an increasingly important model and complementary to our travel transaction businesses," said Dara Khosrowshahi, Expedia, Inc. President and Chief Executive Officer. "The level of innovation and depth of content at Room 77 excites us about its future role in this important customer acquisition channel."
"Room 77 is obsessed with helping travelers uncover the best hotel deal anywhere in one fast and easy search," said Kevin Fliess, chief operating officer of Room 77, Inc. "Our investors recognize the inherent value of metasearch and the importance of rapid innovation in this category, and we're delighted to welcome Expedia, Inc. to this esteemed group. As recent events in this category demonstrate, hotel metasearch represents a massive market and huge global opportunity. This round will only help Room 77 grow our marketplace to help travelers around the world find great hotel deals which, in turn, drive incremental business and revenue to our hotel and travel agency partners."
Room 77 expects to use the additional capital to grow its team with top talent; expand into new markets; increase investment in product; engineering and room-level content; and step up its marketing efforts to build a world-class brand.
Simultaneous with the closing of this round, Jim White, managing director of Sutter Hill Ventures, has joined the Room 77 board of directors. Additional financial details regarding the round were not disclosed.
The hotel vertical represents the largest and most profitable category in online travel, accounting for approximately two billion room nights and more than $165 billion in gross bookings annually1.
In addition to Room77.com, travelers can shop for hotels using the Room 77 hotel app for iPhone®, available in the App Store, and on AndroidTM in Google Play.

Falcons Fall Short in Comeback Effort, Lose 44-41
NEWPORT–A slow start against the CVU Red Hawks spelled doom for the North Country boys basketball team on Wednesday, as they fell to Champlain Valley 44-41."This is two games in a row where we failed to deny three point shooters shots," explained coach Bonvechio, "Last time in Essex we gave their big guy four threes in the first quarter and today we gave up five of those in the first half without getting a hand out on them."In the first quarter CVU utilized their long range attack to jump out to the early lead. Tucker Kohlasch opened up the game with a long three, followed by a Brad Bissonette lay-up.Caleb Prue got the home town boys on the board, but Bissonette came right back with another Champlain Valley three.Jason Hatin went one for two, and then after stopping the Red Hawk attack, Prue charged back down the court to get the basket and one.That would be it for North Country in the first as CVU hit for seven more points to close out the quarter with a 15-6 lead.Nothing would drop for the Falcons in the first, but that would change moving forward.In the second, CVU made it ten straight points on a Bissonette trey before Taylor Prue made both of his free throws to stop the bleeding.Bissonette struck from downtown again, the third of his four three pointers on the night, then the Falcons got rolling.Tyler Jenne and Hatin each hit for two, and after CVU scored its' last points of the half, Taylor Prue laid in his third/fourth points of the second, followed by two more from Hatin off of a nice steal by Devon Martin.Martin, one of the captains of the Falcons, was very vocal on the court Monday, making sure the lines of communication were wide open."I try to get everybody talking on the floor, because when you are talking it is kind of intimidating, and I was trying to help my teammates out as best I can," he said after the game.After the first eight minutes it looked to be a blow out. After sixteen minutes, it looked like North Country was going to make a game of it as the Falcons trailed by seven, 23-16 heading into the break.The third, as did all the quarters, opened with points from the Red Hawks. Jenne answered with a pair from the charity stripe. Bissonette fired home his final three of the night, and then Martin found his shooting rhythm. He drove to the basket for two, then hit a nice three.CVU went on seven point run, but North Country answered with seven straight of their own, fueled by a Tyler Paxman three, and two from Hatin and Jacob Buckles.Paxman would end the quarter with a big block on a CVU jump shot attempt, and heading into the final eight, the Falcons had cut the lead down to just five.While the Red Hawks continued to score points, the rate at which they were doing so had slowed dramatically. NCU was forcing CVU to pass the ball an average of eleven times per possession, usually more, before they could find a shot they liked."We switched into a 3/2 zone and it looked like CVU couldn't really handle it," said Caleb Prue, "We were getting pressure on the ball and blocking passes in the middle which is a big thing.""The looks they got were more contested, we were running at people a little quicker," said Bonvechio, "When I put guys out on the wing that are pretty quick, Tyler Jenne, Tyler Paxman, Devon, they get out to the corner a little quicker than maybe some of the guys who were being straight out defenders, so that let us slow down their attack."The two teams traded buckets in the fourth, and with time winding down Caleb Prue's three followed by Hatin's lay-up cut the lead to 42-41 with 54 seconds left to play.That would be as close North Country would get this night as John Keen made both of his free throws to salt the game away.Despite the loss, North Country can take a lot out of this game as it showed their dedication to their philosophy of being defensive-minded physically and mentally tough team."We were down by eight with just a few minutes left, then we got it down to three, and we could have easily sent it into overtime and won the game," said Martin, "I am proud of the team for never giving up and it doesn't matter (what the score is) we always play until last buzzer and I am really happy about that."Said Bonvechio, "We didn't quit and we kept fighting back. We had a chance to tie the game late with a three and we couldn't get it, but we kept fighting, we kept scrapping, and we've talked about nights where you don't shoot well, if you play good defensively, it will allow you to stay in the ball game and that is what happened tonight."Hatin led North Country in scoring with eleven, followed by ten from Caleb Prue and nine from Martin.The team will be back at the Falcon gym Friday night when they play host to Colchester at 6:30.

Dear Editor,
A few days ago, I have received a flyer from the Republican Party of Iowa regarding Steve King's aspirations to become a Representative for the 4th voting district. A core statement made on the flyer: "Millions of dollars will be spend this year by Christie Vilsack and Nancy Pelosi on dishonest attacks against Steve King."
To address the flyer's claim, let's review King's voting record in Congress:
King voted to defund Planned Parenthood, redefine rape and reduce domestic violence protections for women. King accepted five pay raises for himself while voting down a bonus for soldiers.
King voted for the Ryan Budget, which includes cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and programs that help low-income Iowans survive.
When it was time to vote on a resolution acknowledging the input that slave labor played in the construction of the United States Capitol, the vote was 399-1, with King as the sole "nay" vote.
More disturbing, he's still misrepresenting Iowans today. As I write this letter, King is holding back progress on drought relief for Iowa farmers because he insists on cutting nutritional programs for low-income families.
It would seem King isn't the victim of dishonest attacks, but he's being held accountable for his own record.

Comcast's New Terms of Service Disclose Traffic Management 302
cremou brings us word that Comcast has changed its Terms of Service to include policies on traffic management. This comes after the FCC's recent decision to investigate Comcast's P2P throttling. The language in the updated Terms of Service, according to Ars Technica, mirrors the FCC's 2005 Internet Policy Statement[PDF]. "According to Section III of the revised ToS, Comcast 'uses reasonable network management practices that are consistent with industry standards.' The company points out that it is not alone in the practice, saying that 'all major' ISPs engage in some form of traffic shaping. Comcast does it to keep its subscribers from suffering the heartaches of 'spam, viruses, security attacks, network congestion, and other risks and degradations of service' and to 'deliver the best possible Internet experience to all of its customers.'"

– Ric Flair and others are featured on the latest episode of The JBL & Michael Cole Show:
– Below is the latest episode of WWE's Backstage Fallout from last night's SmackDown:
– As noted, WWE Legend Superstar Billy Graham was hospitalized earlier this week due to double pneumonia. NetNewsLedger.com reports that Graham's wife says he has began to show signs of heart failure. The North Phoenix Heart Center's Amy George posted the following about Graham's heart condition on his Facebook:
"Atrial fibrillation is an electrical problem with the heart where ectopic electric pathways are formed making the top of the heart fibrillate instead of contract. It can go up to 400 beats per minute. Lucky the heart is smart and it only sends some of the signals to the bottom of the heart. Patient's usually present with a heart rate in the 120-140 range. Eldridge goes in and out of this rhythm. He has occasional episodes where his heart rate will become irregular and fast. This can cause shortness of breath, dizziness or lightheartedness and sometimes even chest pain. I placed Eldridge on two rate control medications so that he can go in and out of the rhythm and not have the fast rates. He is also on aspirin as a mild blood thinner. His has no coronary artery disease and his heart muscle is strong. Once again, this is purely a rhythm problem that the incidence increases with age. If he fails rate control medications or is unable to tolerate medications, atrial fibrillation ablation is an option."

Can growing demand from Brazil, Russia, India and China—the so-called "BRIC" economies—come to the rescue of a business aviation industry that is under sustained pressure in its mainstay markets of the U.S. and Europe?
Honeywell's annual buyer survey shows continued strong demand in the BRIC countries over the next five years, while purchase expectations in North America, Western Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific continue to decline.
But the U.S. and Europe remain the biggest buyers and the best the BRIC nations can do is offset the stubborn softness in traditional markets. "Flat is the new up," joked a Honeywell executive unveiling their latest forecast in October at the National Business Aviation Association convention.
For an industry that suffered a massive collapse in sales after the 2008 global economic downturn—business-jet deliveries dropping from a peak of more than 1,200 that year to around 700 in 2012 (a slight uptick from 2011)—stability is an improvement. Orders are still slow but enough to tempt manufacturers into a cautious restart of their product development pipelines, anticipating a return to growth in 2014-15.
And while volumes remain flat, the value of shipments is growing as the mix of aircraft skews to the higher end. Larger-cabin, longer-range aircraft account for a growing percentage of sales, with BRIC countries China and Russia leading the trend. As a result, while deliveries may never return to the high of 2008, their value could quickly outstrip their past peak once recovery begins.
Forecast International projects production of 4,474 business jets, valued at $109.2 billion, over the five-year period 2013-17. Cessna will account for 28% of deliveries, but Gulfstream's larger aircraft will give it 29% of the value. Bombardier will account for 20% by volume and 25% by value.
BRIC nations Brazil and China have a growing role in business aviation not just as buyers, but manufacturers. Embraer has shaken up the light-jet sector with the Phenom and is targeting the mid-size market with the Legacy 500, which flew in late 2012, and the smaller Legacy 450 a year later.
Business aviation is just getting started in China, and faces both infrastructure and industrial challenges, but the intent is clear. A Chinese attempt to buy U.S. manufacturer Hawker Beechcraft out of bankruptcy failed, but Cessna is continuing negotiations with AVIC and municipal governments to build the Citation XLS+, Latitude and Sovereign in China.
AVIC subsidiary China Aviation Industry General Aircraft (Caiga) owns Cirrus in the U.S., which is developing the SF50 Vision very light jet (VLJ) for certification in 2015. Caiga also acquired rights to designs from U.S. company Epic Aircraft and is developing the single-turboprop Primus 100/150 and Starlight 100/200 light jets, as well as the Y15-2000 utility turboprop.
Turboprops constitute one of two market segments that held up through the downturn. The other is large-cabin jets, exemplified by the Mach 0.925, 6,000-nm Gulfstream G650, which entered service at the end of 2012 with a five-year production backlog. The largest and fastest purpose-designed business jet, the G650 will not face direct competition until Bombardier's 7,300-nm Global 7000 arrives in 2106, followed in 2017 by the 7,900-nm Global 8000.
Airbus and Boeing are reengining their narrowbody airliners, with implications for their corporate models. Boeing Business Jets plans to offer the 737-8-based BBJ MAX 8—with 6,325-nm range, 14% more than the BBJ 2— and larger BBJ MAX 9 and is studying a smaller BBJ MAX 7. Airbus's A320NEO family will not include the small A318, so a reengined ACJ318 Airbus Corporate Jet is not planned.
With recovery still a few years away, most companies are focused on refreshing existing products. Dassault's 3,350-nm Falcon 2000S, a large-cabin jet at a lower super mid-size price, will enter service early in 2013, followed shortly after by the 4,000-nm 2000LXS.
Cessna's has revamped the mid-size Citation Sovereign and Mach 0.935 Citation X for 2013, while it develops the mid-size Latitude for 2015 and super mid-size Longitude for 2017.
The light-jet market will be slowest to recover, but the product pipeline is beginning to refill. In 2013, Bombardier plans to begin delivering the Learjet 70/75 (revamped 40/45) and all-composite Learjet 85, as the company studies the market for a smaller version of its all-new jet. Cessna will introduce the Citation M2 in 2013, and is test-marketing a new light jet to replace the CJ series and fight back against Embraer.
Eclipse aims to begin delivering the improved Eclipse 550 in mid-2013, Honda hopes its HondaJet will enter service by year-end, and Diamond plans to certificate the single-engined D-Jet in 2014, although few expect a VLJ air-taxi market to reemerge. But the turboprop sector is looking stronger, with Beechcraft and Cessna studying pressurized singles to compete with the Pilatus PC-12.

Anyone want to do a bracket group with different scoring systems than yahoo standard? I kinda think the 1,2,4,8,16,32 system isnt the most fun, but everyone I know uses it anyways. Just always seemed silly that picking the nat champion is = to picking all 32 NCAA rd 1 games correctly.
I just created one if anyone wants in. http://tournament.fantasysports.yaho...d6a1c2d0b137d1
Set it up as 1, 2, 4, 8 12, 24
But with bonus points for seed differences picked. So 11 over 6 is 1 pt for rd 1 win + 5 bonus pts for rd 1 seed diff. Same thing if an 8 beats a 1 in rd 2 so youd get 2 points for the rd 2 win + 7 bonus points for the seed difference making it worth 9 points.
Note, even if you picked a 4 over 1 in the bracket for a sweet 16, if that 4 actually beats an 8 seed in the Sw16, the 4 does not get any bonus points for the victory.

I am not doing well. Dead last in the Redszone tournament, a full TWO wins behind the people tied in 2nd to last. Hopefully tomorrow is much nicer to me.
I am guessing that that Missouri loss busted some brackets. I am glad that i had them losing in the Sweet 16.
