CALGARY, Alberta – Taylor Chace (Hampton Falls, N.H.) scored the lone goal for the U.S. National Sled Hockey Team as it lost to Canada, 2-1, in its final preliminary round game at the 2012 World Sledge Hockey Challenge here tonight at the WinSport Canada Ice Complex. Team USA dropped to a record of 2-0-0-1 (W-OTW-OTL-L) in the tournament and earned the second seed heading into the semifinals.
"|t is a short turn-around before we play Norway at noon tomorrow," said Jeff Sauer, head coach of the U.S. National Sled Team. "We can play better in terms of shooting the puck and passing the puck and that's what we need to do."
Canada opened the scoring at 6:47 of the first period.
Despite multiple scoring chances on the power play in the second stanza, including a breakaway by Nikko Landeros (Johnstown, Colo.), Team USA was unable to get the puck past Canadian goaltender Benoit St-Amand. Late in the period, Canada extended its lead to two goals on a shorthanded tally.
Chace put the U.S. on the board late in the final frame. At the 12:29 mark, Chace crashed the net from the point and picked up his own rebound to bring the U.S. within one. Ultimately, Team USA was unable to find the equalizer before time expired.
Team USA goaltender Steve Cash (Overland, Mo.) made 12 saves, while St-Amand had an eight-stop effort for Canada.
The U.S. will return to action at the 2012 World Sledge Hockey Challenge Thursday (Dec. 6), against Norway at 2:00 p.m. EST. A full Team USA schedule is below.

Isuzu has revealed its 2012 D-Max ute at an event in Thailand before it goes on sale in selected markets from later this year.
The reveal follows the unveiling last week of the 2012 Holden/Chevrolet Colorado on which it is based.
The new D-Max shares the basics of its ladder-chassis platform and mechanical components with the 2012 Colorado but Isuzu's ute gets a unique appearance. It will be distinguished by unique upswept headlights and a more conventional three-bar grille design.
In the cabin the D-Max will be almost identical to the Colorado with it's dashboard, control stack and steering wheel all matching up with Holden's next ute.
While full details for the new D-Max haven't been revealed just yet, Isuzu has confirmed that a choice of two 2.5 litre diesel engines will be offered. Expect outputs of 85kW with 350Nm of torque for the lower spec diesel mill and 110kW with 470Nm for the higher spec model. There will also be an upgraded version of Isuzu's 3.0 litre diesel which delivers 130kW and 380Nm of torque. Continue reading "2012 Isuzu D-Max ute revealed in Thailand" »

Coach Jean Lopez (Sugar Land, Tex.)
Opening remarks
"We just came in from Singapore. We had a very good training camp over there. We were there for ten days and had the opportunity of acclimating. Basically the focus there is to get away from home, get down to business, and get into the mindset of winning the gold medal. This was a very successful camp. Everyone was fantastic. It was great and we can't wait to go out there and rock and roll."
On the difficulties in being a sibling and a coach...
"It's a very difficult role. It's very challenging at times, especially when it comes to competitions, usually I use my coaching voice and coaching persona at all times. When we're home and we're playing soccer or poker or all the things we do as a family, then I'm just an older brother. We kid around and make fun and play jokes like all families do."
On Lopez Lomong's selection as flag bearer...
"It never came across my mind or the team's that it was a political statement. The United States, in my view, is a country of diverse cultures. Ever since I was a little kid, I learned that it was a melting pot and a country of different places, different people and different cultures and where people can come for a better life opportunity. When I heard and we heard that Lopez was going to fly the flag, it filled my heart with joy. I couldn't think of a better person to lead."
Steven Lopez (Sugar Land, Tex.)
On experiencing the Olympics as a family and their goals...
"Going into these Olympic Games, the goal is to go out there and win gold medals. We've trained very hard and I think Mark and Diana have enough training under their belt. They're world champions in 2005 and this will be my third Olympics. In my opinion they're ready. And speaking for myself, this is my third Olympic Games and I'm excited. I've always had the support of my family and my teammates, but this Olympics is very special to us because we will be walking into that opening ceremony as a family and I think that will give us strength overall. When we walk into the ring, it's almost unfair because I feel like forty at once. And also to have my brother as a coach and when it does come down to the Olympic Games and you're down five points or you really need something, who else to trust besides your brother who knows what to say, how to say it and when to say it. My expectations are high. We'll go out there and win the gold medal."
On the pressures during the Olympic Games...
"We train very hard. I am very excited. This is my third Olympics. However, in China it has a different feel. This is the very best Olympics I have ever been to. I am very lucky to be here with my family. Taekwondo has really become a global sport. There is not one country that I can look at and say that he is an easy match for me. I can't look past China as well. The most difficult thing when you go to the Olympics game is the pressure and not so much the physical attributes that you have. It is how you mentally perform. So that when you do go out there it can be mentally difficult because it is the home-court advantage. You have to play knowing that you have to be on top of your game. China is going to be a tough one because it is the home-court advantage."
Mark Lopez (Sugar Land, Tex.)
On Lopez Lomong being selected as the U.S. flag bearer...
"We had a great opportunity to meet him at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs at our last training camp. We feel it's a great choice by the U.S. delegation to pick Lopez as the flag bearer to represent our country and to lead us at the opening ceremony. His story alone represents the epitome of the Olympic dream and something that the whole world can look at and read about and view as an inspirational story. We're really proud to follow Lopez at the opening ceremony. And he has our last name, so that makes it even better."
On how his taekwondo interest began...
"Interesting enough by chance, my father loved watching martial arts movies. It was a family ritual on Sunday mornings to watch Kung Fu Theater, to watch Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee. My father never had the chance to do martial arts. He did the best thing parents can do. He had the kids do it. There was a school around the corner and that is started. That is how we began."
Diana Lopez (Sugar Land, Tex.)
On facing the Korean team
"The Korean team is a very strong team. We've fought many times at the World Championships and different tournaments. Korea is a very good technical team. We have a great chance of winning because we're strong and we make it a fight. We don't make it a technical match. I think in order for us to win, we're just going to have to go out there and make it a fight. We're not going to leave anything out there on the mat. Everything that we learned from my brother and we're just very confident and we know that we're going to do very well."
Charlotte Craig (Murrieta, Calif.)
On how she makes herself part of the team
"They've taken me into their family. We joke around that I've been adopted by the Lopez family."

is ist possible to do the same in a controller or model?
I need this to render a page after a expire_page.
Use redirect_to some_path where some_path is the value of a route that points to the cotroller and action you want to call
You should read through this http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html
Hi jamesw,
Thx for your answer!
I see I have to tell more abaut the background of the problem.
I use page caching and i want that after a expire_page the page immediately is rendered and stored in the cache.
I want to avoid that the user who hit the page first has to wait till the page is rendered ...
I want to shoot directly form the cache ;-)
ok, I auume you are asking how to re cach a page after it expires?
I think that would be bad practice. There are many reasons why a cache could be expired and this could be triggered a number of times in a perceived cycle of events causing additional unnecessary load on your server.
There is only one reason why you would want to do this, which is that it takes a long time to gather the data to load the page which implies you should be concentrating on speeding up the data retrieval rather than trying to re-cache.
Perhaps a better, more scaleable approah would be to create a table view to represent the data you are needing or fake a table view by using json. If after the cache is swept you store the data in a json file you could then load the page from the json rather than directly from the database you would find a massive improvement in performance without needing to re-cache.
Those are better alternatives but neither answers your question. If you really really want to do this then the best approach would be to
Create a rake task that would use curl to visit whatever paths you need to re-cache then call that rake task from your sweeper.
A rake task has the benefit of being able to be called from wiothing a model or controller.
ALWAYS work harder to speed up the data retrieval in the first place! In addition to the table views and json approach mentioned above you should take a look at your table indexing and improving query performance.
yes I want to re cach a page after it expires.
And it is the one reason ;-) 25 SQL Qs to 3 different DB ... time to load 2-5 minutes
The changes are not that often. To have a long time to load causes more pain than the server load for the re cach ...
Till now I never made a rake task or a background job ... I see I have to learn it.
And i will call the page with the build in ActiveRessource.
I am still a noob and i am wondering why I only can call this app.get in the rails console.
It is somehow in the ActionDispatch::Integration::RequestHelpers but i don´t know hove to include and call it.
i am wondering why I only can call this app.get in the rails console
app.get some_path
is just a way of hitting a route from your console. It's equivalent in a controller is
redirect_to some_path
The issue you are facing is that you are trying to render a page outside of a controller (in your cache sweeper) and that is just plain wrong. It's a controllers job to render pages.
Till now I never made a rake task or a background job
Rake tasks are dead easy.
It's an old cast - There might be a newer one - so be careful of the syntax.
Background tasks - There are many options for running background tasks in rails most of which are complete overkill for this specific case. The simplest option is to just fork the rake task into a new process when you call it.
Again an old cast so watch the syntax

45th Presidential Inauguration photo gallery
Maintain N.D.'s open records
Senate Bill 2310 would make confidential almost all information contained in accident reports, including driver identification numbers, names, addresses and phone numbers.
The bill, sponsored by Sen. Dave Oehlke, R-Devils Lake, should not be approved, at least not in its current form.
We understand the concern over maintaining privacy for personal information, such as drivers license numbers, addresses and phone numbers. Under the bill, that information would be confidential to all but people involved in the crash or their legal representatives or insurers. But making even the names of those involved in accidents confidential will create new problems.
Newspapers and other forms of media rely on official accident reports from law enforcement to provide accurate, timely and useful information to the general public. The bill would essentially make accident reports useless to members of the media, and in turn, to the public. Without official information, the media's ability to gather news will be severely hampered. No reputable news agency wants to rely on secondhand information when presenting news to the public.
Is there room for compromise? Absolutely. Sen. John Grabinger, D-Jamestown, asked if it would be possible to make drivers license information, addresses and phone numbers confidential, but leave names as open record. That's a good place to start the discussion, but North Dakota has a strong history of maintaining open records, and we're leery of attempts to change that. Once the process of keeping more information from the public, it's a slippery slope.

Last Saturday, I had a nice session of tea drinking at a merchant's shop in the city where I lived and he brewed a tea pronouced "Jee Hong". I wish I knew the correct pinyin spelling of this tea but unfortunately the tea dealer's English is not great. He showed me the tea bag but it was all written in mandarin characters and same story, I can't read or write in Chinese Anyway long story short, this tea was amazing: hard to describe the smell but quite woody and with a lingering honey aftertaste. It has a golden colour when you hold the teacup against the sunlight.
This guy told me the tea goes along the lines of a famous tea called "Qimenhong" which is a superior tea according to him.

Pats vs. Panthers Super Bowl XXXVIII Panoramic Photo
This is it: the penultimate moment in the greatest Super Bowl ever played! Four seconds left on the clock. Game tied, 29-29. Although Overtime had looked inevitable after Ricky Proehl's game-tying TD reception with 1:09 on the clock, Tom Brady has just completed a miraculous drive that set up this play - a 41-yard Field Goal attempt by Mr. Clutch, Adam Vinatieri. The crowd at Reliant Stadium is going wild, with not a single buttock touching chair. The air is thick with both tension, and the leftover smoke from the halftime pyrotechnics. The ball is set. The play clock is ticking down. As Brian Kinchen gets ready to release the most important snap of his career...SNAP! The moment is preserved for all-time, and is now available for your wall!
Like all prints in Rob Arra's Everlasting Images collection, the entire stadium is in perfect focus, and as you pan across the image you feel like you are actually there, taking in history at Super Bowl XXXVIII! It was one for the ages, and this poster will bring back great memories of that Super game with every glance. From the stadium scoreboards, to the fans in the stands, to the electrifying action on the field, to the painted logos and end zones, to the countless security personnel on the sidelines, it's all here! (And if you were at the game, you may even be able to pick yourself out in the crowd...) A stunning piece for the wall of any fan, and a great collector's item for years to come. Worthy of a nice frame and a prominent place on the wall of home or office!

SL school district reviews security measures
SARANAC LAKE – Saranac Lake Central School District officials are talking about ways to tighten security in the wake of last month's school shooting in Newtown, Conn.
Meanwhile, a Saranac Lake High School senior who grew up in Newtown wants district administrators to shore up what she described as lax security at the high school.
"I can get in the high school through six different doors any time of the day," Julia Murray, who's one of two student representatives on the school board, said at Wednesday night's board meeting. "There's some very simple precautions that I think not only the high school but all schools can take."
Murray was born in Newtown and lived there until she was 10 years old when she moved with her family to Saranac Lake. She didn't attend Newtown's Sandy Hook Elementary School, where a gunman killed 20 children and six adults on Dec. 14., but her grandmother worked at the school for 20 years before retiring.
"They knew the teachers and the principal (who were killed)," Murray told the Enterprise after Wednesday's meeting. "It hit us hard because it's our hometown. It was hard to actually comprehend that it happened."
The school board's discussion about security was prompted by a report from board member Miles Van Nortwick about a Safety Committee meeting that took place four days after the Newtown shooting. In addition to administrators and school staff, Van Nortwick said it was attended retired state Supreme Court Justice Jan Plumadore and Bob Sior, who works in security for the state court system.
"He gave us some ideas," Van Nortwick said. "He made himself available to do a walk-through of our various buildings to make suggestions."
High School Principal Bruce Van Weelden said village and state police have each done walk-throughs of his building in the last few weeks.
"We have another meeting (about security) coming up," said Superintendent Gerald Goldman. "I think we'll come out of that meeting with a little more focus, and I think we'll take some steps forward together on what our priorities are.
"We have some obvious things that we need to do at the high school. We have some things we need to do at Bloomingdale (Elementary). I don't want to talk about them here at the meeting because I don't necessarily want those things out there."
Goldman said beefing up security at the high schools can be a challenge because of the need to balance "the fact that we're running a school, not a prison, with the need to make our students and staff safe. We certainly can make the high school more secure. We can make it as secure as Ray Brook if you want to spend that kind of money, but it's not going to resemble a high school after that."
Apart from improving security precautions, Goldman also said people need to be more aware about what's going on in the lives of people around us.
"It's not perfect but it's the ultimate antidote to this," he said. "We need to be vigilant and caring about one another so that maybe we can get in the way of some of these things before they become raging, crazy, insane, life-altering tragedies."
After the meeting, Murray said she thinks local people, including some of her fellow students, have a false sense of security about school shootings because of where they live.
"I hear a lot of students say it will never happen here or it will only happen in cities," she said. "Newtown wasn't a city. Saranac Lake is a Newtown in a more isolated area. I do think we have a very high risk."
But Murray's fellow student representative on the school board, junior Nicholas Mann, said he was concerned about the impacts of increased security measures in a school setting.
"I think there's a lot that can be done to promote, like Mr. Goldman said, people being more aware," Mann said. "I do have an aversion to cameras and security measures in our schools. What he said about schools resembling a prison, I think it's something we should strongly avoid at all costs. I think it discourages the kind of free-spirited open-minded learning environment that the high school is supposed to be."
Mann also noted that there are many public places where people can be "fully exposed, and those places will never be any more secure than our high school is now. So it's just a risk of modern life that we accept."
Murray countered that schools are a place where people expect to be protected, more so than in other public places.

Highlighting YEP Endorsees
The YEP Endorsee Highlights series is dedicated to informing readers about the wide variety of progressive candidates on the YEP endorsee list. This entry in the series contains a new batch of young progressives from across the country, including a Florida state senate candidate responsible for sponsoring the DREAM ACT and a former mental health counselor in Arizona's public school system running for a senate seat in that state.
Colorado native Dominick Moreno is running to represent his home district in the state House of Representatives. Raised in a working class family, he worked hard and earned a scholarship to Georgetown University. During college, Moreno worked to help others in his community, including tutoring children in low-income schools during college. He continued to serve others when he became the youngest city councilmember ever in Commerce City. There he earned the respect of his colleagues and was promoted to Mayor Pro Tem. Read more about Dominick here [1].
Dwight Bullard is running for State Senate this year after having served in Florida's House of Representatives since 2008. He is a high school teacher by trade and has shown great leadership in his field as well as constantly fighting for education reform in the state legislature. He is the Democratic ranking member in the education committee and the preK-12 education policy committee. Bullard has been recognized often for his work receiving numerous awards; most recently, he won the Barbara Jordan Leadership Award. Bullard also sponsored the Florida DREAM Act, a bill which creates a pathway for undocumented immigrants to get in-state tuition.
Ed Ableser is running for election to the Arizona State Senate. He is currently serving as the 17th district's Representative, but is running in the newly formed 23rd Senate district this year. He also works as a mental-health counselor for the public school system in Tempe and is the Democratic Party committeeperson. As a Representative, Ableser has fought hard against public education cuts and hopes to build a more equitable public education program.
Erin Molchany is running to represent the 22nd District in Pennsylvania's state House. Molchany began serving her community at the Emergency Services Department of the Red Cross, parlaying this experience into position at the Coro Center for Public Leadership, where she led the Emerging Leaders in Public Affairs and Women in Leadership programs. More recently, Molchany was elected Vice President of the board of Directors for the Mt. Washington Community Development Corporation, where she served her community by promoting economic development and public safety. Read more about Erin at http://erinmolchany.com/ [4].

Share Your Reflection

If you listen carefully, I think he was very careful NOT
If you listen carefully, I think he was very careful NOT to say that the catastrophe happened so that people would turn to God. You're right, that sort of theology is simplistic and insensitive. But I think he's correct that, when these things happen, we have a choice as to our response. We can be sorry for ourselves, become bitter towards God; or we can use it as an opportunity to help, to become closer to others and to God. I think that's what he meant by that title.
I completely agree with you that the media should have been all over this story, and I don't understand why it's been largely ignored. We've heard more about some random cooler in Times Square or the hung Parliament in England than about this tragedy in our midst. I don't get it. Thanks to SOF for these great images, and for raising awareness!

I must not have been clear (moi?). I have no experience
I must not have been clear (moi?). I have no experience I can or would
name "god." I sometimes apply that word to various experiences or
situations, but not in any sense of "turning to an entity or supernatural
being" who / which might respond.
Said in another way, in a foxhole under fire I don't turn to god. My
quibble was with the assumption that more or less everyone has a
second-person Something or Someone they turn to in moments of crisis.
And to further clarify, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that;
only that it's not the only reality and not the only spiritual reality. My
passion is for inclusivity, and that approach does not include me.
Does that help?

Where was Jim Cooper our Congressman?

I believe
Where was Jim Cooper our Congressman?
I believe many of us have become complacent with our elected officials within government. For instance, many of us have grow accustomed to the norm of having politicians like Jim Cooper working for the lobbyist and self interest groups, but not for the best interest of We the People and our Nation.
As patriotic Americans we must remember it hasn't always been this way. Before Jim Cooper, we within the 5th district of Tennessee had elected many great statesmen to represent us within the U.S. Congress.
As you may already know, I'm one of the candidates running against Jim Cooper. However this doesn't necessarily mean you need to elect me to the U.S. Congress in order to fix this injustice. What is most important here is we need to replace Jim Cooper with someone that will live up to the words of being "our representative" in Congress.
Thank you, and God bless the Republic of the United States of America.
Eric Pearson, Democratic Party candidate for US Congress in the 5th district, Tennessee.

Skip to comments.Want a Pro-Growth Pro-Environment Plan? Economists Agree: Tax Carbon.
Posted on 02/08/2013 6:07:57 AM PST by Sir Napsalot
In his recent inaugural address, President Obama promised that we will respond to the threat of climate change, ..... But America cannot resist this transition; we must lead it. We cannot cede to other nations the technology that will power new jobs and new industries we must claim its promise. That is how we will maintain our economic vitality and our national treasure our forests and waterways; our croplands and snowcapped peaks. That is how we will preserve our planet When pressed on the specifics of what the president means to do on climate, his spokesperson replied: We have not proposed and have no intention of proposing a carbon tax.
The president has a problem, and hes not alone. Many policymakers who are compelled by the consensus of scientists on the risk of global climate disruption seem willfully oblivious to the peer-reviewed economic research on what to do about it. Indeed, they completely ignore the remarkable consensus of economists a group that often isnt unanimous on important policy options, ..... In this case, though, economists nearly universally agree that, while basic energy research and development remain an important role of government, a price on carbon would minimize the cost of steering economic activity away from the greenhouse gas emissions that threaten the climate. .....
In fact, in a survey of about 40 prominent economists from across the profession, 90% agreed with this statement: A tax on the carbon content of fuels would be a less expensive way to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions than would a collection of policies such as corporate average fuel economy requirements for automobiles.[1] When weighted by the level confidence the respondents had in their answers, the agreement rose to 95%.
(Excerpt) Read more at brookings.edu ...
(More from the article) "Another survey of the same prominent economists referred to a Brookings Institution description of a U.S. carbon tax of $20 per ton, increasing at 4% per year, which would raise an estimated $150 billion per year in federal revenues over the next decade.[2] A remarkable 98% of the surveyed economists, again weighted by confidence, agreed with this statement: Given the negative externalities created by carbon dioxide emissions, a federal carbon tax at this rate would involve fewer harmful net distortions to the U.S. economy than a tax increase that generated the same revenue by raising marginal tax rates on labor income across the board.[3] In other words, using a carbon tax to reduce the budget deficit or reduce other, more burdensome, taxes makes all the economic sense in the world. .... This pro-growth, pro-environment strategy would also obviate more costly regulations, subsidies, and mandates to reduce emissions and give the United States standing to call for equivalent measures abroad."
"The president and others should recognize the strong consensus of experts whose lifes work is to understand markets: the best way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is through a permanent and predictable price on carbon and responsible management of the revenue. Policymakers globally should not deny the overwhelming judgment of economists, even as they respect the overwhelming judgment of climate scientists. On this issue, were nearly all one-handed. "
Is there anything that taxes won't fix??? That is their go-to solution for everything.
Patent 6904336 on Carbon Credits is held by Fannie Mae and the DNC.
another bad joke in this article. The carbon dioxide tax would filter down to everybody even the poor folks who can't afford it but the government would spend the money more responsibly? BS.
California enacted the CARB tax this year. Stay tuned...
Monetizing thin air.
Just think how easily that could be manipulated and used against those who step out of line.
So, just how does taking the lifeblood of the economy promote growth of that economy?
What a misleading title by the source. I was getting ready to bad mouth economists, then I saw that they were forced to choose the lesser of two evils.
In related News: HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan released a study proving that holding your breath improves athletic performance.
>>> Is there anything that taxes wont fix???
That is only one half of the solution, the other half is to have public trust in gubmint handling the 'solution' part.
...economists are highly skeptical that clean energy subsidies and mandates will create jobs on net over the long run. New technology that involves more jobs than the technology it replaces is likely to be more expensive. So in the absence of a tax on carbon emissions, cleaner alternatives to fossil fuels will require persistent federal subsidies, money that has to come from somewhere. And even if energy technologies become export strengths of the United States, international trade tends to reallocate rather than add or subtract overall jobs in the economy.
Gee, let's see... Taxing carbon will increase prices on EVERYTHING!!! The only thing that will grow will be poverty!
Frankly, there may be some increase in tax revenues as people have to pay more in taxes on everything they need. On the other hand, it could potentially wreck the economy, as people cut back on EVERYTHING ELSE! If they don't absolutely NEED it now, they won't buy it.
I wonder what segments of the economy this will wreck, and how many businesses will be put out of business?
If you want more of something, growth for instance, the last thing you would do is tax it.
The same oddness as 'new revenue'?
Good observation. Nowhere in the column does the author provide evidence to support the headline. All he does is provide surveys of economists that say that a carbon tax would be less harmful than raising other taxes. Not the same as a "Pro-Growth Plan".
Orwell would be proud of these clowns... It's simply amazing to watch their manipulation of the language and people buy into it. Scratch that. It's scary as hell to watch.
Take a look at the founding of Brookings. Frederic A. Delano was one of the incorporators. Financed by the foundations from the get go. Brookings was a tycoon and the right hand man of Baruch on the War Industries Board during WWI. Brookings merged it with the Institute for Government Research and the Institute of Economics in 1927. IGR's first project had been to push for a Federal budget, in which it was successful.
Hoover still produces a report, Setting National Priorities, which analyzes the President's Budget.
Look all over the web and you'll find people lamenting that Brookings was once "liberal" and now it's increasingly "conservative", which is laughable.
Brookings was and is yet another front for new world order of international banking whose original and current goal is passing commands from new world order to US politicians.
But the same thing could be said of National Review, for example, or similar mag/rag.
we have passed the age of steel.
We are in the age of carbon composits.
This is like taxing each steel girder or ingot.
(think mob tax)
This is just a way to create a new currency based on creation. A property tax.
The next step will be a thought tax.
Remember those 3d printers? This is a way to tax the raw material since they can't trace objects.
Never mind that even the conspirators in the "climategate" scandals agree that there has been no "statistically significant warming" in the last 16 years. Never mind that every disaster predicting computer model based on the assumption that increasing CO2 are increasing world wide temperatures has been shown to be wildly inaccurate. It doesn't matter because further increasing the price of energy through taxation will be good for us all.
I think that they are overplaying their hand. Our power company gives us a graph of our energy usage for the past year along with information on the average temperature for the previous month as compared to the corresponding month a year ago. In our area this data shows that over the past decade our average temperatures have been declining. That is because the data that the power company is using has not been skewed by "scientists" working for government agencies with an agenda. The same is true in most parts of the country.
Temperatures 80 years ago were warmer than they are today. Since that time we had a cyclic decline in temperatures and then an increase, then another decline, another increase and then a leveling off or decline depending on where you live for the past decade or so.
Most of the "warming" shock headlines originating from government agencies have been manufactured by manipulating data from both recent and earlier times. When they get called on it... they issue a partial retraction which is almost never reported in the major media. People are starting to pick up on this; when you mix in articles like this one which show the true motivation behind it... it is going to seriously erode people's confidence in what they are being told.
The climate is cyclic and it is likely we will see a continuation of the warming trend that started at the end of the little ice age a couple of hundred years ago. But I cringe at graphs produced using manipulated data that make it appear that we have had warming outside of normal natural variation. You would think that just the fact that the average rate of rise in the sea level has not changed in hundreds of years would be enough to convince most sober minds that we have yet to see anything out of the ordinary.
The carbon tax is nothing but a VAT tax structure. Given who is pushing this gives me no comfort on their assurances that it will be good, experience tells us it just the opposite. Given how this will permeate through every sector of the economy and at multiple levels within each sector, the potential of absolute disaster is a given. Noting that the people who push this are all about control or are completely incompetent, disaster is assured.
My son is a business major. We talked about fixing the economy. He had two suggestions.
1. Scrap Obamacare.
2. Reduce corporate taxes to zero for those companies that produce materials made only in the USA.

The working group focuses on the development of a robust and versatile multiphase solve based on the Euler-Euler multi-fluid approach.Current applications of interest are the simulation of bubble columns and dense gas-particle flows, with granular phases described by means of the kinetic theory approach and frictional models.Starting point of the development is the existing twoPhaseEulerFoam solver, which will be modified to improve its robustness and then generalized to deal with an arbitrary number of dispersed phases. Further development will include the addition of quadrature-based methods to deal with particle/bubble size distribution.Created on: Wednesday, 29 September 2010

Detached-Eddy Simulation
The founding of this group was discussed and decided on the OpenFOAM® Stammtisch Germany 'Mitte' on September 24th, 2010, in the 'hybrid RANS/LES' bof session.The aim of this working group is to get users and developers interested in Detached-Eddy Simulation (DES) together and achieve a correct DES implementation in OpenFOAM® and a common understanding of the method.Furthermore, the already established contacts, working groups and results required a common platform to be able to focus on our goals.Finally, testcases, best-practice guidelines and an improved documentation are needed.Created on: Friday, 24 September 2010

Best part of $300 dollar lessons is you remember them well.
Welcome to the club!
(helps in training if you set up a VeRY inviting flyer station, but run the long memory birds by themselves as singles some)

Just for the record I have very fine dogs. Some of the best in the whole country....or at least on my own end of the block.
we learned our lesson about pens of live birds out in the field during our first JH test. I suspect I have the only dog ever that tried to retrieve the entire pen of live birds....tried to drag it back with him....

Thanks all for the advice and the sharing of similar experiences! I will make a list of all the suggestions and internalize them. I was happy that she heeded the stop and come-in whistle and stayed steady!
Bill, you are right, it was the whole experience of the bird rack at the line, the gallery and dog scent in the blind etc etc that made it all a great lesson.
Thanks too to Breck for the training suggestions and Ted and everyone else!!! Great ideas. Today I've been building a bird pen so I can buy some ducks and keep a few handy...

Per favore, non mi rompere i coglioni.
At least one training session with a group would have given you this info and you could have had a heads up on training with distractions---sights, sounds, voices, trucks, strange dogs, etc. But glad you made the effort to do this.

Hey Jen one other thought comes to mind. What if in training... the only time the dog gets to pick up the flier is AFTER they pick up the rest of the marks? What if in training... half the time they don't get to pick it up at all, especially if there is any hassle with getting the to swing off and focus elsewhere.
Great job getting out there!

Heavy herbal and light honeyed flavors with just a touch of florals on the finish. Having been keep in a more humid environment shows though in some slightly mature notes. Flavor is a bit dense and heavy. Seems like it could use more time to mellow.

services usually draw about 300 people to the church along Interstate
45. On Easter Sunday, the crowd topped 700. It may have been a gimmick,
but it was for a higher purpose, Woodfill said.
you're going to catch a fish, you have to have bait," he explained. "If
it takes a helicopter dropping 5,000 eggs to get people to come to
church, it's worth it. There are souls to save."Many
of these souls were new to the church, and waited patiently as Woodfill
told the biblical story of Easter before the egg drop. -- end excerpt --

Repairs for County Road 3 approved by commissioners
NEW ULM – Brown County commissioners unanimously approved a request Tuesday for more extensive and expensive repairs on a paved county road rated in poor condition in the southwest corner of the county.
Brown County Highway Engineer Wayne Stevens said the county's initial plans to do cold in-place recycling on four miles of bituminous (paved) surface of County Road 3 in Stately Township were not adequate after soft spots were found in the road.
Repairs on the road from the south county line north, need to be revised to include grinding and recycling sub-grade, and adding two inches of overlay for added strength, Stevens said.
"(Without the added repair), the road will fail," Stevens said. He estimated the added work would cost about $450,000. Gravel for added repair will have to come from outside the county, adding to the cost."
Stevens said the county highway budget has contingency funds plus surplus money from the CSAH 16 (former TH 258) turnover project that could be used to help cover the added cost.
Brown County Attorney Robert Hinnenthal said county commissioners are legally allowed to consider a resolution on the highway project without seeking bids if the added work is "an emergency situation."
Commissioners voiced interest in seeing all county roads on their annual road/park tour on Thursday, Aug. 29.
Commissioners approved:
Seeking new health insurance quotes for the 2014 plan year. Health Partners' initial renewal quote indicated an increase of about 19 percent. A reconsideration request by the health insurance committee resulted in a revised quote of a 14 percent increase, according to the Request for Board Action (RBA).
After lots of discussion and considering county co-worker feedback, the committee decided Health Partners' proposal was unacceptable and recommended Brown County commissioners make a final request for an improved quote, according to the RBA.
A $10,454 annual maintenance agreement with Election Systems & Software, LLC, which is for election software.
A 15-county salary survey committee recommendation to revise the list to five adjacent counties, and by population based on the most recent census, five counties with populations above and below Brown County's population. If adopted, the 15 counties designated would be used at least until the next census.
Receipt of a letter dated June 25, 2013 from Sleepy Eye Let's Go Fishing Chapter President Lorraine Schroepfer, seeking support for the chapter's budget that rose to $8,500.
"We will have great difficulty reaching our goal without support from Brown County. … Please help us continue to bring our every enthusiastic guests to Brown County," Schroepfer wrote.
She added that the chapter relies on donations to cover expenses including a $5,000 association fee that covers liability and inland marine insurance, attorney counsel, CPA, state and federal tax work, public relations and program development.
Schroepfer wrote that the chapter had 13 cruising and fishing reservations during the last week of June. She added that last year, the chapter had more than 100 reservations for 904 passengers served by all-volunteer captains, captains mates, maintenance men, boat keepers and board members.
Commissioner Richard Seeboth said he'd like to see the Let's Go Fishing funding request as a board action item.

I've got a couple issues with my LRB Para Acoustic DI. First, I can hear a screw of some kind moving around inside. I'd like to take it apart and see what exactly is moving around in there. Second, when I connect an XLR to the DI Out, the cable wiggles a little and it causes noise in the signal. So, on a stage, the vibration from people moving around causes it to make noise.
Does anyone know how to take these things apart? There are two screws on the bottom but removing them doesn't seem to do anything. I'm wondering if there are more screws underneath the foam padding. Also, any ideas about the input jack problem?
UPDATE: After taking a closer look, it looks like one of the screws that holds the DI out jack in place is the problem. One side of the jack looks a little lower than the other. I tried tightening the screw but it doesn't tighten. I'm guess maybe the nut on the inside has come off of the screw and that's what moving around. It's also probably why the cable doesn't sit down tight in the jack. Looks like I need to figure out a way to get this thing opened up.

In order to determine how much of each ingredient in Randys recipe I would need to make the thinner 14-in pizza, I first had to convert Randys recipe to bakers percents. The recipe I used for this purpose is the one set forth at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,1141.0.html.
Thanks Pete-zza. If it works it works. As a professor of mine used to say, "an ounce of fact is worth a pound of theory".16 ounces of fact and flour (sugar, salt, yeast and oil) will feed a whole family.thanks

Adolescent girls who experience abuse or neglect are at an increased risk of teen pregnancy

Implications for practice and research
Young women experiencing maltreatment may benefit from assessment of their risk of teen pregnancy and attitudes toward the teen parenting experience.
Research should continue to explore the impact of neglect and sexual abuse on life trajectories to inform counselling, sexual health education and life goal-focused interventions.
Reductions in the rates of teen births in the USA may be attributed to increased education and services for teens targeting sexual activity, decision-making and methods of pregnancy prevention.1 Teen birth, pregnancy and abortion rates have decreased since the 1990s due to decreased rates of sexual activity among teens and increased use of contraception among sexually active teens.2 Although a positive overall trend for society, teen pregnancies and …

In 2002 my ticket was 250 pesos (around 20 dollars) but, since I got it from "reventa" (I don't remember the english for "reventa", I mean when someone buys a ticket for the real price and then he sells it for a much higher price, ilegally, of course, very common here in Mexico) I paid 900 pesos (about 70 USdlls) and it was the worst seats, last rows in a 20 000 people arena and I was mainly watching Paul's back all the time, had no view of the screens...but come on! It was Paul McCartney! It was all worth it.
Last February I was luckier. Went to see Keane at the same arena and I was at 100m from the band, watching from the front, good seats actually, I paid 1250 pesos, about 96 US dlls.

Topic: Storing string with commas in a fixture
I'm trying to store something like "40,41,42,60,39" as a string in a fixture. It keeps being mangled by rake and loaded as "4041426039".
I'm not ever utilizing it as an array in my application, just a string that happens to be a comma seperated list.
How can I get this to load into my fixture???
