Whatever the situation (2 stations to the station) is very central. Ila is a very friendly hostess and Dresden definitely worth a visit.

I felt the soothing energy of the stay very comfortable.
Thank you, dear Ila.
Ich fühlte mich in der wohltuenden Energie dieser Bleibe sehr wohl.
Schönen Dank, liebe Ila.
I did not like the house, the rent was very expensive. it did not have an elevator, I had to take my luggage 3 floors up!!! the address written was not complete, the kitchen is very smal. you can not cook food! you have to buy outside. if you dont luck the door when ever you are leaving the landlord will enter the room, with out asking your permission! she thinks its her house, and does not understand so much the concept of renting a room means the room is yours for that period. and sometimes you have to tolerate at nights hearing string sounds from people who are guests of her! she has zen PROGRAMS IN THE HOUSE! honestly i was freaking out! i really dont advice this house, if you are looking for a room near the university there is a lot of great cheap international hostel where you can find. something that i understood after my arrival.
Were you satisfied with the stay

Hello all
I wanted to start this post because i'm having trouble finding a good ROTJ jet pack paint-up thread to follow. I wanted to know if any of you painters out there had a rundown on any threads, stencils, etc that you used( or are planing to use) on your own paint-up.
thank you

For nearly half a century, American foreign policy towards Cuba has been dictated by a small group of angry Cuban exiles who believe hatred is the basis of policy. Finally, President Obama has announced a change in policy that would lift some travel restrictions. "Restrictions on the families will be lifted" said an official which in effect means Cuban families can be united and the ridiculous policy of banning any interaction with the Cuban nation will end. The bottom line is there is no evidence pretending the Cuban government does not exist has benefited either the United States or the Cuban people. The only prior time Cubans could travel to their native land was during the Carter administration.
Castro remains in power despite American foreign policy. The people of Cuba suffer and there is no evidence boycotting their leaders leads to improved conditions.

text: Hey all, in case anyone is interested (and tired of watching football) - this show airs on Sunday at 4pm EST on NBC. Check your local listings in other time zones. Sarah Hughes will be on the Today Show tomorrow (Friday) and Todd E. will be on on Saturday to skate and promote the show. I do think this one will be worth watching! Skating is what got me into Beatles music (SOI finale, maybe 1998/1999?). I'll never witness the Beatles live, so this is the next best thing.

How to Select
How to shop for Bath Faucets
Bath faucets often provide the finishing touches to an impressively conceived and designed room. Updating faucets in the bathroom can also revitalize the room. This is a method that is surprisingly affordable, and it makes a big impact on both the look and feel of a room.
Westside Wholesale stock faucets in a great variety of styles and a huge range of finishes. Chrome, oil rubbed bronze, brushed nickel, stainless steel, bronze and brass are all available to choose from. The finish of the faucet should match the surroundings; therefore it is important to scrutinize the products with care.
Bath faucets are also available with a number of advanced features built in. These can solve a number of problems and also make the bathing experience even more pleasant and relaxing. Faucets are available that are battery operated, solar powered, sensor operated, single or double handle or even hands-free.
Before making a purchase it is a good idea to consider the following factors:
- Cost. This is obviously going to be a factor in most decisions. However, your faucet will give many years of service and good build quality will mean fewer servicing costs or repairs. All Westside Wholesale faucets come from trusted suppliers meaning our customers never have to sacrifice quality for value.
- Material. As mentioned bath faucets are available in a spectacular range of materials. Consideration should be given to both the material of the faucet and also to the material of the unit it will be attached to. Chrome faucets are popular for a modern, minimalist design while other materials such as oil finished and bronze add a more luxurious or rustic feel to the room.
- Supplier. Westside Wholesale only sells products from trusted suppliers. All our manufacturers have been inspected and carefully vetted. Should problems arise with any bath faucet product most manufacturers have a warranty that allows easy replacement.
- Features. The bath faucet has evolved beyond a simple functional item. Faucets are now available in either single or dual faucets and may have a mixer level or switch. Motion activated faucets are popular in commercial settings where heavy user traffic calls for greater levels of hygiene.
When choosing a bath faucet give these factors consideration. More information is available on the individual models offered at Westside Wholesale and our experts are standing by to answer your questions.
Contact us now and we will help you make a decision on the faucet that is right for your individualized needs.

And it will be skated before the other traditional events (Men, Ladies, Pairs, Dance). --- He sounds quite unpleasant, and I'm afraid a bit disgraceful. He said figure skating is the most difficult sport in the world, together with tennis. (Really, what would you call an Amanar, Mr.?) He also said: "I'm from Milan, and we have this rather important theatre called La Scala, so - how's that a so? btw - I know more about ballet than I know about figure skating. Yet, I tell ya, in all the times I've seen dancers, I've never seen them falling, like figure skaters do. That gives an idea of how difficult figure skating is compared to all other sports - he didn't quite get ballet wouldn't fall under the sport category, I assume". --- So Figure Skating is run by that brilliant mind, uh? And I happened to be worried in the past, silly me.

Trusteer research has found that a majority of malware infections are a direct result of an application vulnerability exploitation. Exploits embedded in weaponized content download advanced, information stealing malware, which enables cybercriminals to control compromised endpoints. This is typically the first step in APTs and targeted attacks on enterprises.
Blacklisting solutions, on the network and on the endpoint, can't effectively detect or prevent exploits that are designed to evade them. Application Controls, which aim to restrict code execution on the endpoint to 'trusted' code, have proven complex to deploy and manage.
To stop zero-day application exploits and prevent the compromise of enterprise endpoints a new approach is needed.
In this webinar, Dana Tamir, Director of Product Marketing at Trusteer, presents a new approach for advanced malware protection and discusses how Trusteer Apex applies this approach to stop zero-day application exploits.

Looks amazing! I am going to try this for sure
Tabbouli-Style Quinoa and Black Bean Salad
I can't seem to get enough of tabbouli-type salads. I especially like them made with quinoa. You can use red, tan, or black quinoa, or a combination. Embellished with black beans, this makes a high-protein salad that's hearty enough to be a main dish. Photos by Evan Atlas.
Serves: 6 to 8
- 1 cup raw quinoa (any color, or try a combination)
- 3 to 4 medium firm, ripe tomatoes, diced
- 15- to 16-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley, or more, to taste
- 2 to 3 scallions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Juice of 1 large lemon, or more, to taste
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- Toasted sunflower seeds for topping, optional
Combine the quinoa with 2 cups water in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. If you'd like a more tender grain, add 1/2 cup additional water and continue to simmer until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and allow to cool to room temperature.
Combine with the remaining ingredients in a serving dish and mix well. Cover and let stand for an hour or so before serving if time allows. Pass around toasted sunflower seeds for topping, if desired.

Haddock/Development ideas
From HaskellWiki
< Haddock
Most of these ideas are very old, but some may still be relevant.
- It would be good to have a recursive flag that would operate on all the .hs and .lhs files under a single directory.
- There should be an annotation to include a function's entire definition in the documentation. This would be useful for functions like and(.)where the definition is the clearest possible documentation.mapM
- There should be an option to include a simplified implementation of a function that is equivalent to the one in the code. For instance, instead of showing a complex implementation of List.length that makes use of stream fusion we could show a simple one based on foldl'.
- Optionally show qualifications of identifiers, that is print rather thanSequence.map,maprather than justMusic.T. The option for haddock could beT
--qualification QUAL
none(default) strip off qualification (just)map
origshow the identifiers as they are written in the module (e.g.ormap)List.map
fullshow all identifiers with full qualification ()Data.List.map

which tyre usu?
i would like to buy innova crystra topend model but it was a 7 seater i like 8 seater there is any way to change seat from showroom or out and its approximately rate
We are glad to know that you are planning for Toyota Innova Crysta and completely understand your point here.
As per your requirement, the top model comes with 7 seating capacity which has the arrangement like, 2 seats in the first row, 2 in the middle row and 3 in the last row.
Now, if you want to convert the same into 8 seating, then you need to get the middle row modified which you can get done from the dealership / service center or from outside. The 2 seats need to be changed as 3 seats. It would have been difficult if the last row seating was like 2 seats facing each other.
We recommend that you get in touch with the dealership or service center directly for it. We do not recommend that you get it done from outside as it will void the warranty.
Please check the service centers and dealers available in your city. Please select the city from the drop down list.
when did innova crystra tour sport will be lanched in india ? whether it will be limited edition
What is the difference between 2.5G, 2.5GX and 2.5 G4 Innova Desil version, 8 seater versions in terms of addional cost.
whether innova venturer will be lanched in india its look better than crysta and toyota highlander will be lanched in india?
Mate, the Innova Venture has been launched in the Indonesian market and the same car has been launched in India with the name Innova Crysta.
Talking about Toyota Highlander, there is no news from the brand on the launching of this car in India. Stay tuned and we will keep you posted on it.

So, let me set the mood / scene. It's the day AFTER the first huge snow storm of the season. The property I hunt has probably like a mile or mile and a half ditch, with mostly thick cover 5 to 10 yards from the edges, but after that, plowed field. For 3 years straight, my hunting partner "Duckslayer727" on this board hasn't been able to go, but has heard the stories, and seen the pictures of "The Cover Migration" of pheasants after a huge storm, and how there are no more 80 yard jumps of wild birds, …. Rather 2 to 7 yard flushes of pheasants under your feet! On the ground, no foot prints of previous hunters … and a good 10 – 12 inches of snow beating down the cover making "pockets". Tempt outside was 12 degrees, and a slight wind of 3 to 5 MPH causing it to seem much colder.
As we took the hour drive to the property, I had in my mind, of all the years past. Where the little bastards were holed up … how they sat until you basically had to step on them … and after 15 minutes of pheasants jumping out from under your feet, how the heart stops racing so fast. In the back of the Toyota Land Cruiser, we had 3 dogs. Cooper, my 9 year old yellow lab, the veteran of the group, the "old man", Reese's, who's Ben's Chocolate Lab / Wirehair mix that is 2 years old and a fireball of spunk and has energy to burn, and Gauge who is my 6 month old Black Lab getting his eyes opened to the rather large world outside the house.
I left work early at 10:45am, and after the hour drive / loading up … we pull up to start hunting … its 12:15pm. Legal shooting time ends at 4:00. We have 3:45 minutes ahead of us … and I can't wait!
We start at the very top of the long ditch, in an area that used to be an old horse pasture, which currently holds cat tails, brambles, a couple down trees, a deep ditch and some blackberry bushes. Anything that we kick up here, fly's right down the ditch and is game on for the next mile … Cooper and Reese's get birdie but nothing jumps until we are almost to the end of the pasture. While Coop and I are hugging the deep ditch with the blackberries … Up pops a hen, and then another, and another, and another … and another. All completely in shooting range, all exciting flushes, and yet I can't place a ring around any of their necks. What those hens did show me though, is how tight they were sitting … and we needed to kick EVERY bush and clump today. Leave no "bush" untouched so to speak.
Pasture swept / cleared, like Ben along with myself were in SWAT (joke) … and time to start on the very long honey whole ditch. I've hunted this ditch for the last 10 years, and I know what she can provide on one of these cold snow days. I almost feel like running from clump to clump with excitement, but know better … and Ben is just jazzed to have seen how close those birds jumped. After a quick pow-wow on strategy, we proceed down the ditch, with the dogs working hard. Within the first 50 yards, up two more hens. Coop had them pegged. Down the ditch a little further, with dogs running 10-15-20 yards ahead and coming back, Ben noticed a fresh pheasant tunnel into a weed clump, on the side of the ditch. Dogs birdie after we call them over, … Hell I drop down in the ditch and beat down the clump … nothing jumps … but Reese's will not let this clump go, as she truly believes something is there. I climb out of the ditch, walk about 10 yards, and hear an "exhaust". What I mean from that, is from hunting birds with Coop, he's caught his fair share of "if you're not going to jump, then I'm grabbing you" … you hear that "squeak exhaust" the bird makes, followed by a crunch so to speak … I instantly turn around and yell to Ben, "She's got one, hope it has a ring" … Ben calls to Reese's, and as her head pulls out of the bush, sure as schhhhhit, it's got a ring! One rooster in the bag, no shots … Game on! Down the ditch we go, with at least 5 more hens getting up within a 10 yard shot, but none have a ring. I'm thinking "ARE YOU SERIOUS!"
We get to the road, and the part of the half way point of the ditch. The total so far is 1 Rooster in the bag, and 13 hens. That's right … 13 FREAKIN HENS!!! Pheasants can breed 3 times in a season, if conditions are right … if they are bad, 2 times, REALLY bad … 1 time. If we hunt no further, I know the stock is set for next season, without a doubt! Maybe with a little help, I could make this spot outstanding as Ben and I chat, with a strip of food, or a Rooster blend of seed from Pheasants Forever or Quail Forever, I could have my own little piece of "South Dakota" … We'll see.
So, we cross the ditch, and start working a heavy cover piece. Fresh tracks allll over the place, no birds as of yet, but we KNOW they are in here. Then … as quickly as before, here they come. A pair of hens here and another here … and there goes another …. And wait, Reese is locked up on that bush, there goes another. Add 5 more to the total, so that's 18 hens so far. Dogs still working hard tempt dropping as the sun is fading behind the hill. I then step into a cover spot, where I'm seeing fresh tunnels tracks and sign … There's more here…. Up comes another hen, and then another, and then ANOTHER … from basically under my feet! Hearts racing, but I'm having a blast! Ben keeps saying, "I can't believe the amount of hens!" … I stepped away from the bush I kicked up the 3 … Reese comes over and BARRELS into the bush … UP POPS ANOTHER HEN! Total from a bush not the size of a school desk for kids was 4 freaking HENS!!! Total up to 22 … Now we are coming to the Blackberry Bush, or Hotel I call it … Guess what, Coop puts up ANOTHER hen … but nothing more. Total for the day so far … 23 Hens, and 1 single Rooster.
Now we are heading into a quick "end" of the long ditch, which has one lone tree in it, with plowed field on either side. This ditch is maybe 5 yards across, but normally holds at least 1 bird under the tree in cold weather. As we approach the tree, Bens on one side of the ditch, I'm on the other, and Coops getting birdie on my side … He jumps into a clump, and out pops a hen, goooooooo figure! It's been one of those days, and as Reese's and Coop get birdie on another clump of sticks and limbs … why would I figure anything LESS than another hen is going to jump … Why? …. "ROOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSTTTTTEEEERRRR !!!" Less than a 3 yard jump, crossing right to left and heading away … BAMMMM… BAMMMM. He's headed back to the blackberry bush / hotel … but he was not grabbing altitude … and I HAMMERED him twice. "Ben, that birds down back there" … so we headed back, and about 50 yards short of the Blackberry bush, there he was in the snow. As we stood there and caught our breath, I looked down at his spurs, as this was a big bird … They had to be ¾ of an inch or a 1 inch EASY!!! BIG BIRD!!!! I was on the scoreboard! We walked down past the tree to where the ditch ended, only to kick put … that's right … 1 more hen!
Total so far … 25 Hens … and 2 bagged Roosters.
We walked back up to the truck, cold wind blowing with my ears stinging … watered the dog … Time on the clock says 2:55pm
As we drove down the hill, I told Ben to jump out, and walk a 5 minute ditch that sometimes holds pheasants, but mostly quail. You'll NEVER guess what the 3 dogs and Ben put up walking that ditch …. 3 more HENS!!! Really … are you serious …. REALLY?!
Quick drive through town, and heading to an upland spot along the Touchet River. I had to ask permission to hunt this …. And it's always produced a couple birds, or shots for that matter.
WHERE IN THE HELL DID ALL THIS SNOW COME FROM? When we were on the hill, the snow was maybe shin, mid calf high … Now we are down in the valley; along the river … The snow is over my KNEES!
Ben and I decide to hunt this 80 yard swath, that we have seen birds in before … and as I sneeeeeek in, I see a fresh "tunnel" … I yell over "Ben, … Tunnel" and point …. He calls the dogs over, but before they get there … UP pops a ROOOOOOOSTTTTER !!! Ben pulls up first …. BAMMMM. I can see the bird is coming down, no question, no need to shoot. Reese's with the retrieve, and after a quick walk through the remaining cover, no birds.
Total bird count for the day … 28 Pheasant Hens … 3 Bagged Roosters, and the only damn ones we saw all day!
On the way home, he wasn't talking about how he didn't limit … He was talking about the amount of birds he saw, and the fun day he had. That's why Ben will get an invite back to hunt … Because it's not always about the amount of birds bagged, rather how many you saw, and the experience.

After jumping around like a school girl for about an hour I started the project. :lol I did some sanding on the jet pack (it was alittle rough around the edges) and primed most of it. I'm going to try and paint the gauntlets tomorrow, I've put the primer an first coat of silver. I'll try to put some pix up in the next day or so.

The only DA .22 revolver that I have ever really liked is the S&W Model 63, in a six shot, but you would be lucky to find a good one for $400. Of the DA .22 revolvers I've fired, the S&W was the only one with a decent trigger, in DA mode. I have a Hi-Standard Double-9 from the early '60's and it is a decent quality revolver, but the trigger in DA mode is not good - SA mode is OK. Still, a good one of these might be $300-$400 in todays market, despite the fact that they sold new for about $65 when I was a kid.
The one you handled probably got the firing pin strike lightened too much whenever the hammer was bobbed. Good luck finding parts.

Green Bay Women's Soccer Releases 2013 Schedule
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Green Bay head women's soccer coach Trevor Warren announced his team's 2013 schedule on Friday, with the program slated to host eight games at Aldo Santaga Stadium. The 18-game schedule is highlighted by an early home tournament and three home contests in Horizon League play.
To view the complete 2013 women's soccer schedule, click here.
Warren's squad will start the season on the road in Indiana, playing at IUPUI on Friday, Aug. 23 before battling with Ball State on Sunday, Aug. 25.
Green Bay will then open its home schedule with the Green Bay Phoenix Soccer Tournament on Aug. 30 and Sept. 1. The Phoenix will play Western Illinois on Friday, Aug. 30 at 4 p.m. before hosting Eastern Illinois on Sunday, Sept. 1 at 2 p.m. Northern Iowa rounds out the field, playing Eastern Illinois on Friday and Western Illinois on Sunday.
"The 2013 schedule is highlighted by our hosting the first Green Bay Phoenix Soccer Tournament," said Warren. "Western Illinois from the Summit League will provide a tough test after finishing 13-6 last season and Eastern Illinois comes to Green Bay with first-year head coach Jason Cherry. The tournament will be a great way to kick off our home schedule."
The next five games produce four challenging tests away from home, including trips to both DePaul (Sept. 11) and Wisconsin (Sept. 18). DePaul, a member of the BIG EAST, gave up just 18 goals in 21 games in 2012. It will be the eighth all-time meeting between the two teams and first since 2003. Green Bay has played extremely tough in its last four meetings in Madison, falling 1-0 in each of the games.
"Our road games against DePaul and Wisconsin will be true tests of where we are just before we begin Horizon League play. The last time we played in Madison the game was decided late on a solitary goal in the Badgers favor, and we look forward to that annual game against an in-state foe."
The Phoenix will finish September with three-straight games at Santaga Stadium, including the final two non-conference games and the first Horizon League battle with new conference member Oakland on Friday, Sept. 27. The Golden Grizzlies finished 11-6-4 in 2012 and won the Summit League Tournament to advance to the NCAA Tournament.
The Oakland game and a home contest against former Horizon League rival Loyola on Sunday, Sept. 29 will both be a part of Alumni Weekend at Santaga Stadium. Including a 0-0 double overtime tie last season, Green Bay is 1-0-3 in the past four meetings with the Ramblers.
Trips to Youngstown State (Oct. 5) and Detroit (Oct. 12) open the month of October before the Phoenix hosts Cleveland State on Saturday, Oct. 12 at 12 p.m. Green Bay then plays at Milwaukee on Wednesday, Oct. 23 before hosting Wright State for Senior Day on Saturday, Oct. 26 at 1 p.m. The team's regular season finale will be at Valparaiso on Friday, Nov. 1.

Feminism, Pop-Culture | Posted by Anya J on 03/4/2013
Sexism Is Not Actually "Edgy"
Seth McFarlane has been repeatedly called an "edgy" choice for an Oscars host. The Onion brands itself as a daring, controversial form of satire, steadfastly refusing 'to knuckle under to pressure from the community.' Unfortunately, there is nothing edgy, nothing daring, and nothing unique about an hours-long fest of sexist, racist, and objectifying "jokes," comments, songs, and tweets.
As charming and incredibly talented 9-year-old actress Quvenzhané Wallis was at the Oscars celebrating being the youngest person ever nominated for Best Actress (and only the tenth black actress ever nominated), the Onion, a satirical newspaper, put out the following tweet:
Reducing the incredible achievements of a young girl of color down to a highly gendered insult isn't edgy or daring. It's reinforcing sexism, and that's the opposite of risky humor. …

"This library is useful for practitioners, and is an excellent tool for those entering the field: it is a set of computer vision algorithms that work as advertised."-William T. Freeman, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Learning OpenCV puts you in the middle of the rapidly expanding field of computer vision. Written by the creators of the free open source OpenCV library, this book introduces you to computer vision and demonstrates how you can quickly build applications that enable computers to "see" and make decisions based on that data.
Computer vision is everywhere-in security systems, manufacturing inspection systems, medical image analysis, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, and more. It stitches Google maps and Google Earth together, checks the pixels on LCD screens, and makes sure the stitches in your shirt are sewn properly. OpenCV provides an easy-to-use computer vision framework and a comprehensive library with more than 500 functions that can run vision code in real time.
Learning OpenCV will teach any developer or hobbyist to use the framework quickly with the help of hands-on exercises in each chapter. This book includes:
Getting machines to see is a challenging but entertaining goal. Whether you want to build simple or sophisticated vision applications, Learning OpenCV is the book you need to get started.

The image on the cover of Learning OpenCV is a giant, or great, peacock moth (Saturnia pyri). Native to Europe, the moth's range includes southern France and Italy, the Iberian Peninsula, and parts of Siberia and northern Africa. It inhabits open landscapes with scattered trees and shrubs and can often be found in parklands, orchards, and vineyards, where it rests under shade trees during the day. The largest of the European moths, giant peacock moths have a wingspan of up to sixinches; their size and nocturnal nature can lead some observers to mistake them forbats. Their wings are gray and grayish-brown with accents of white and yellow. In thecenter of each wing, giant peacock moths have a large eyespot, a distinctive pattern mostcommonly associated with the birds they are named for.

1. Liminal Spaces
When Brigham Young came upon the Utah Territory's Great Salt Lake in 1847, he and his Mormon followers decided it might be a nice place to start a city. Since then, Salt Lake City has grown far beyond its original grid to become the largest city in Utah. It's a common refrain, but in the process of growth and development, some of SLC's cultural amenities have been disconnected from each other, making it hard for pedestrians to access them. Enter the SixtyNine Seventy Project, spearheaded by AIA Utah's Young Architects Forum, which hopes to knit together the Capitol Theatre, Ballet West, the Utah Performing Arts Center, and the Utah Theater in "The Spaces Between," an ideas competition, which closes on March 23.

2. Was ist das?
Germany has grown to be one of the most economically stable and successful countries in the European Union. In addition to the Bauhaus legacy, the nation has also grown to be an architecture and building powerhouse in the areas of sustainable design and construction. With an eye toward greater energy efficiency in the U.S. in the coming decades, policy, research, and industry experts from Deutschland will gather for the German American Smart Building Symposium at the AIA Center for Architecture in Philadelphia on March 12.

3. Cruz Control
For a decade, Teddy Cruz has been pushing students, city officials, and architects to study the lines that divide economic classes, political enfranchisement, and geography, which he argues pose a design challenge as much as a social one. His research, through San Diego–based Estudio Teddy Cruz, has centered on the Tijuana/San Diego border—but his argument about urbanism's role in defining community and opportunity extends well past the 13-mile fence that separates those two cities. Cruz, a Rome Prize recipient (1991) and the first recipient of the James Stirling Memorial Lectures on the City prize (2005), will speak on what he calls the "political equator" at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco on March 4.

4. Planting the SEED
There are a few different definitions of what designing in the public interest entails; its scope varies from community-focused design/build projects to broader ideas about social policy and economic incentives. For the last few years, Design Corps, founded in 1991 by Bryan Bell, AIA, has held Public Interest Design Institutes—two-day courses on the Social Economic Environmental Design (SEED) metric for community engagement—in cities across the U.S. Design Corps and the University of Minnesota College of Design will host the latest SEED event in Minneapolis on March 21-22.
Learn more at publicinterestdesign.com.
5. Modern Marvels
For historians, the so-called modern era in architecture does not map cleanly onto markers, such as the years 1850, 1900, or 1950—just about when you'd think it might have ushered forth. The curators of "What Is Modern?" at the Denver Art Museum have assembled objects that trace design's ability to represent what they call the "modern experience" as far back as the early 19th century and into our own era. What is "modern," then? For one, as these works of design demonstrate, it's anything but straightforward. The show runs until March 24.

Me thinks U like carbines and Keltecs :-D
You thinks correctly! But then, I like so many other makers and types too that it would take a half hour to type my "wishlist". 8)
I think the Storm is a nice carbine. Maybe one day I can get one :P
I was thinking of getting one as a camping gun. I dont know if I want to spend the money! How do you like it?
Gunut, I really like the CX4 Storm-what's not to like? But, if I were going to get something to use as a "camping gun" I would feel just as good, maybe better in some ways, about using the Hi-Point 4095, or the 995. They are much less expensive, (about a third the cost), and very rugged, tough and reliable. I also wouldn't worry as much about it getting banged around or scratched, as I would with the more expensive CX4 Storm investment. Although I'm sure that the CX4 is tough and would take at least as much punishment, I might hesitate to use it as roughly. With accessories I have about $1200 in my CX4. With the Hi-Point, if I banged it up, it has a lifetime warranty. If it was stolen, it wouldn't be as substantial a loss, and it would be easier to replace. I have $185 in the Hi-Point 4095. And it is very close in power/accuracy IMO. 8)

Continuous Improvement
Who is Noah Sussman?
Noah Sussman is a consultant who mostly works with Fortune 500 media companies in New York. Since 1999 he has been helping bricks-and-mortar businesses to figure out how to operate online.
Noah has overseen the build-out of continuous delivery infrastructure for eCommerce innovators such as Etsy and Barnes & Noble. At Etsy he was instrumental in scaling the continuous integration (CI) system, enabling a velocity of 50 or more daily deployments to production.
Noah lives in Lower Manhattan with his wife and two cats. Feel free to follow Noah on twitter, his twitter handle is @noahsussman.
What is the talk about?
The past few years have seen a phenomenon of software organizations abandoning traditional release cycles in favor of daily or even hourly deployments. The emergence of a new, rapid software development workflow has raised questions regarding the role of test and QA in a product's life cycle. When there is no QA phase, can there still be QA?
Indeed, as the speed of product development changes, risk must be assessed differently. A monthly release cycle provides time to assure a product is reasonably free of defects. In a rapid release cycle, such assurance is impossible. Quality instead comes to mean assuring that the product is capable of recovering from defects.
I will discuss how software risk mitigation practice changes as the speed of development increases. And I will explore the idea that recovering from failure is a far more pragmatic goal than preventing failure in the first place.

University of Hawaii Graphics Standards
Posted May 2007
- graphics standards manual 3.4 MB PDF
- print-quality seals and signatures (login required)
Email EAUR if you have problems or questions.
Thousands of people see materials representing the University of Hawaii and its campuses each day—correspondence, publications, websites, exhibits, merchandise, etc. Together, these representations build an identity that symbolizes who we are and what we do.
This graphics standards manual identifies the seal and signature of the university and governs its use on university stationery and business cards. It provides guidelines for proper UH identification on other publication materials and licensing rules governing the use of the university's name and seal on products. This guide also covers appropriate use of affiliated identity marks.

EEO/AA, accessibility and other requirements
Why have a graphics standards manual?
A cohesive signature program reinforces the university's stature locally, nationally and internationally. Correct and consistent use of the signature by all university units builds market equity for all parts of the university. Moreover, it authenticates and distinguishes the user. Inconsistent and/or poorly executed visual representations create confusion for the public, diminish the institution's integrity and can actually dilute the university's ability to legally protect its identity.
Consider this analogy provided by Educational Marketing Group Vice President Prescott Coleman: Which has more reach—thirty 1,000-watt radio stations or one 30,000-watt radio station?
This graphics standards manual identifies the seal and signature of the university and governs its use on university stationery and business cards. It provides guidelines for proper UH identification on other publication materials and licensing rules governing the use of the university's name and seal on products. This guide also covers appropriate use of affiliated identity marks.top
What is the authority for this manual?
The updated version of the UH seal with accompanying typographic signature were developed in 2006. The seal and accompanying graphics standards were reviewed by the Council of Chancellors and instituted by UH President David McClain, following consultation with Board of Regents Chair Kitty Lagaretta, effective May 15, 2007.
To whom do the standards apply?
All UH campuses, colleges, schools, departments, programs, offices, etc.
Are there exceptions to the rules?
Yes, but they are very limited. (See section on alternate marks.) As a general rule, all academic units and department-related research units must use the seal and/or respective system or campus signature for official correspondence and within external publications.top
How do graphic standards relate to marketing?
The visual representation of an institution, through nameplates and publications, conveys that institution's promise of value to its audience. Built on the institution's values and strengths, the brand promise is the expression of what differentiates the institution from others.
What is the UH brand promise?
Adopted in 2002 after extensive consultation throughout the UH system, the UH brand promise is this: We provide a balance of educational excellence and real world experience in a unique environment that is Hawaii.top
What is the origin of UH's seal?
The University of Hawaii seal was adopted by the Board of Regents on April 7, 1921 and amended March 29, 1946. It contains a torch and book titled Malamalama—usually translated "light of knowledge," also meaning clarity of thinking and enlightenment. The date the institution was established, 1907, appears below the torch. The state motto, "Ua mau ke ea o kaaina I ka pono," is inscribed on the bottom rim. Assigned by King Kamehameha III on the restoration of the monarchy by Great Britain in 1843 and adopted by the Territorial Legislature in 1959, it translates as "The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness" and reflects the Hawaiians' reverence for the aina, or land, from which first kalo (taro) and then the first human sprang.
In a March 6, 2000 directive, President Kenneth Mortimer established campus variations of the UH seal for all official UH stationery and business cards.
The 2006 update was developed to modernize the seal in a manner that reflects its history, spirit and global perspective while providing a readable version for modern print, electronic and product applications. It returns to a single UH version of the seal paired with campus-unique colors and signatures.top
Why use the seal?
It is one of the University of Hawaii's strongest emblems. It lends authority and authenticity to any communication where it appears.
Can the official seal still be used?
The 1946 version is reserved for very formal applications only (e.g., diplomas). Consult External Affairs and University Relations on proposed use.
When should the updated seal be used?
The 2006 seal should be included on any UH System or campus communication that reflects the university's mission or administration, including printed materials, presentations, websites, merchandise items and signage.top
How should the seal be used?
The seal may be used alone or in conjunction with the signature (see next section). If used alone, the seal can be
- used in black or the respective system/campus color. (If another color is used for design reasons, avoid colors associated with other campuses.)
- screened as a background element.
- reversed.
But never, ever
- stretch or distort the dimensions.
- alter elements within the seal.
- use smaller than 5/8 inch on publications or 1/4 inch on merchandise.
- enlarge to a size that compromises graphic integrity. (Contact External Affairs and University Relations for assistance.)
What is the signature?
The signature is a graphic element comprised of two elements—a nameplate (typographic rendition) of the university/campus name and an underscore accompanied by the UH seal. Both vertical and horizontal formats of the signature are provided. The signature may also be used without the seal on communications where the seal cannot be clearly reproduced, space is limited or there is another compelling reason to omit the seal.
View the signatures for
- University of Hawaii System
- University of Hawaii at Manoa
- University of Hawaii at Hilo
- University of Hawaii–West Oahu
- Hawaii Community College
- Honolulu Community College
- Kapiolani Community College
- Kauai Community College
- Leeward Community College
- Maui College
- Windward Community College
How is color incorporated?
When using the University of Hawaii signature system, only the underscore and seal in its entirety should be used in the specified two-color scheme. When using the signature alone, only the underscore should appear in its specified color.
Are there other restrictions in using the signature?
Yes. Do not
- alter the signature artwork, colors or font.
- alter the placement or proportion of the seal respective to the nameplate.
- stretch, distort or rotate the signature.
- box or frame the signature or use over a complex background.
- screen the signature or run type over it.
- introduce drop shadows or other filters.
The seal may be centered below or above the nameplate or to the left of the nameplate. The "safe zone" indicates the appropriate amount of space between the two elements. This space reflects the "rim," the area from the outer edge of the seal to the edge of the globe. Consult External Affairs and University Relations—Creative Services with questions or requests for exceptions.top
Which signature do I use?
The UH System signature is used for system administration offices and systemwide programs. Campus-based or administered schools, departments and programs should use the signature of the home campus. University of Hawaii Centers should use the signature of the administering campus. Consult External Affairs and University Relations for guidance.
The University of Hawaii Community Colleges signature is provided for collective marketing and recruitment materials only. The Office of the Vice President for Community Colleges and reporting units use the UH System signature for business cards and stationery.top
What is the official business card and stationery design?
The UH stationery system and business card design incorporates the department, program or office information with the respective system or campus signature, and only the official design can be produced at university expense. Individual use of the university name, seal or signature on stationery or business cards is prohibited unless authorized and designed according to the university's procurement procedures.
What are the procedures for ordering?
Procedures for ordering stationery and business cards are contained in the Office of Procurement and Real Property Management circular. Information is available at the EAUR webpage on stationery and business cards.top
Can I use color?
Stationery and business cards can be produced in black or two-color (black plus the designated campus or system color). Units are not restricted to campus signature colors, but are encouraged to adopt them as appropriate. Official campus spot colors and Pantone® recommended HTML equivalent follow:
- UH Manoa - PMS 3435 - HTML 024731
- UH Hilo - PMS 485 - HTML DA291C
- UH West Oahu - PMS 187 - HTML A71930
- Hawaii CC - PMS 221 - HTML 91004B
- Honolulu CC - PMS 322 - HTML 00747A
- Kapiolani CC - PMS Reflex Blue - HTML 002395
- Kauai CC - PMS 2665 - HTML 716FB3
- Leeward CC - PMS 2727 - HTML 3D7EDB
- Maui College - PMS 3025 - HTML 005172
- Windward CC - PMS 376 - HTML 7AB800
- System - PMS 872 - HTML B3995D
Does the signature have to appear on other materials?
All publications, websites, presentations, etc. representing a University of Hawaii school, department, program or office must indicate that the unit is part of the university. This can be done with the seal and/or signature or a tag line (e.g., "A program of the University of Hawaii" or "Provided as a public service by the University of Hawaii.") Placement can be subtle and secondary provided the viewer does not have to search to find the information. Consult External Affairs and University Relations for advice.
Are certain type fonts required?
No, but Optima and Zapf Humanist fonts are recommended to designers because they work well with the nameplate type in printed communication materials. Their use provides continuity to university publications.top
What about use on the Web?
Websites must identify programs as part of the UH System and/or its campuses. The seal and/or signature can be used. The marks should be used at a resolution that downloads quickly without compromising graphic integrity. Contact External Affairs and University Relations for assistance.top
When are alternate marks allowed?
Requests to use alternate signatures or logos must be made in writing and transmitted via the respective chancellor or vice president to the associate vice president for external affairs and university relations. The request must state the exceptional circumstances that warrant deviation from the university signature system. The following criteria will be considered:
- Does the entity constitute an independent public attraction and/or and commercial operation that has established historical equity in its insignia? This exception does not apply to units whose primary purpose is delivery of credit or non-credit training.
- Is the entity a non–degree-granting, independent research unit that has historical equity in and widespread recognition of its identity mark?
- Is the unit named for a major benefactor whose gift stipulates provisions for an identity program?
- Is the unit a major programmatic entity administered jointly with another institution or agency? This exception does not apply to centers established to pursue specific investigations nor those funded, but not jointly operated by extramural agencies.
- Is the entity a campus NCAA athletic program?
NOTE: Although excepted from using the official signature, these units must identify themselves as part of the University of Hawaii on all printed and electronic materials. Units not specifically identified here as exceptions must request permission from the associate vice president for external affairs and university relations before establishing a joint or alternate identity mark and must submit the mark for review before using it.top
Are there other exceptions?
Independent but UH-affiliated organizations develop their own signatures (e.g., UH Foundation, UH Alumni Association, Research Corporation of the University of Hawaii).
What about secondary identity marks?
Individual unit logos are not allowed. Although the drive to "have our own identity" is pervasive, proliferation of such marks dilutes the university's integrity and creates confusion on the part of the public.
This doesn't mean everything has to look alike. Schools, colleges, departments and programs may develop design themes and elements, including use of color and graphic images, to provide continuity to their print and electronic communication. External Affairs and University Relations can assist units in developing and implementing appropriate design elements in conjunction with the official seal and/or signature.top
What alternate and affiliated identity marks are permitted?
Use of the following marks is governed by the respective units or agencies and should be used only in relation to, and with the permission of, those entities. (E.g., the athletics mark is not appropriate on materials related to academic programs.) All alternate marks are subject to licensing regulations.
- Quasi-commercial operations: Imiloa Astronomy Center | Lyon Arboretum | UH Press | Rain*Bow*Tique | Waikiki Aquarium
- Independent research organizations: University of Hawaii Cancer Center | Institute for Astronomy
- Benefactor directed: Shidler College of Business
- Jointly administered programs: Hawaii State Center for Nursing | International Pacific Research Center | Joint Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research
- NCAA athletics programs: UH Hilo Athletics | UH Manoa Athletics
- Related but independent organizations: Research Corporation of UH | UH Foundation | UH Alumni Association
What is the ® in the UH signature?
The mark indicates that the University of Hawaii name and affiliated names, marks and designs are registered trademarks. Increasingly, universities across the country are registering their trademarks and applying the ® to all uses of their names, in publications as well as on commercial products.
Why have a licensing program?
The licensing program regulates and protects the commercial use of the university's name and identifying marks locally, nationally and internationally. It stimulates public awareness of the university's identity and ensures that products bearing university marks are of high quality and reflect positively on the institution.
What qualifies as a University of Hawaii trademark?
Any name, mark, logo, insignia, seal, design, word, letters or symbols that have come to be associated with the university, even those that don't specifically include the words "University of Hawaii," are subject to licensing. Commercial use is restricted to official licensees. Examples include University of Hawaii; UH; campus, college and school names and abbreviations; athletic department symbols, names and nicknames; buildings and building names; any other symbols, designs, artwork, words or groups of words that have come to be associated with the university or its campuses.
When must the trademark symbol be used?
The ® must be used with the university signature or tagline on communication, recruiting, informational and promotional publications. Products or merchandise must carry the trademark symbol and be produced by licensed vendors, whether for internal use (e.g., department t-shirts) or for sale.
Why use licensed vendors?
Licensed vendors pay for the right to reproduce items bearing the university names and marks. They have made a commitment to abide by university standards and pay royalties that support university scholarships. Unauthorized use of the university indicia may be judged an infringement of trademark ownership, for which the unauthorized user may be required to pay damages to the trademark owner.
For a list of licensed vendors and more information about the licensing program, see the licensing webpage.top
Is the EEO/AA statement required?
Publications, websites, advertisements and other materials should carry an abbreviated statement that the University of Hawaii is an equal opportunity/affirmative action institution. Catalogs and similar documents should carry the full EEO/AA policy statement. See discussion in the University of Hawaii Style Guide.
Are there additional considerations?
Publications should carry a statement indicating they are available in alternate form for people with print disabilities. Consult with the KOKUA office at Manoa or the EEO representative at other campuses on how this can be accommodated if requested. Invitations and event notices should provide a contact number for individuals with disability access concerns.
What about Hawaiian diacriticals?
The University of Hawaii strongly encourages the correct use of the okina and kahako in Hawaiian words. See the discussion of Hawaiian language in the University of Hawaii Style Guide.top

By Joe Brewin
Arsène Wenger admits he was keen on bringing Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart to the Club at one stage.
Hart joined City from Shrewsbury Town as a promising 19-year-old back in 2006 and has since established himself as No 1 for both club and country.
The young goalkeeper spent a season on loan with Birmingham City in the 2009/10 season, during which time Wenger enquired about the England international's availability.
"I remember when Hart played at Birmingham, I asked about him and they told me he is at Man City," he said.
"I thought he would be the keeper there. He has something that is needed for a goalkeeper to play at a big club and I am not surprised he made it as No 1.
"Usually it is a job for over 30s, but we have seen that with Van der Sar, who went at a very young age to Juventus," he added.
"He went to Fulham and Manchester United where, for a few years, he was the best keeper in England."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Podsednik impresses with clutch triple
Podsednik impresses with clutch triple
TUCSON, Ariz. -- Rockies non-roster outfielder Scott Podsednik came off the bench for a triple in the seventh inning of the Rockies' 4-2 victory Monday. It was the latest accomplishment for Podsednik, batting .370 in his bid for a reserve job. "It's always good when you see somebody you call off the bench come up with a hit like that," said Rockies manager Clint Hurdle, who said he is starting to manage like it's the regular season. Checking in with other players trying to make an impression:
Jayson Nix, trying to earn the starting assignment at second base, homered and singled twice. He has three homers in six Cactus League hits. Nix disputed the contention of scouts who say hitting homers leads him into the bad habit of lengthening his swing. "That's something people say, for some reason, but I feel I'm a pretty disciplined player," Nix said. Ian Stewart, a third-base prospect who is trying to force his way onto the club, hit a game-winning, two-run shot in the 10th -- his third homer in seven days. Three relievers trying to forge spots had strong performances. Righty Ramon Ramirez struck out three and walked one in two scoreless and hitless innings, and has a 0.90 spring ERA. From the left side, Micah Bowie overcame a walk in his inning, and Josh Newman shut down the Giants after a leadoff single in his frame. Right fielder Brad Hawpe (sore left elbow) played catch from 80 feet and took batting practice, and he hopes to play designated hitter Wednesday. He last played last Monday. Also, right-handed pitcher Juan Morillo, left-hander John Koronka, catcher Michael McKenry and outfielder Sean Barker were sent to Minor League camp.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Kick it to the big man, Nov 7, 2012.
Why Austin Daye can't get no PT???
I believe it has something to do with his lack of shooting, dribbling, defense, rebounding and interest in the game itself.
we always waste young talent, look at afflalo..... Daye gone comeback to hurt us, he got the height, and the shot, when he goes somewhere else, he gone ball......he definetly needs help on defense, but he could be productive off the bench.....Daye is certainly on franks S-list......
His propensity to go into the fetal position at the thought of posting up an opposing PG might have something to do with it.
I was initially a big fan of Daye, but he seemed to crumble under pressure last year instead of rising to the occasion when his number was called. He never took advantage of his opportunities. Perhaps he needs to keep doing more push ups.
While Austin has made some strides as far as pushups and such, he still struggles with shooting. Coach Frank seems more concerned with the shooting and disregards AD's progress in the other areas. Is this fair?....maybe not...but that's the way Coach Frank runs this team.
Daye is pretty one-dimensional (spot-up shooter). If you are one-dimensional and your one dimension is not working, you will probably end up in the dog house.
That's not fair.
What did you see from Daye on the court last season that would warrant him receiving any playing time right now?
He had that one good game.
That's a valid point. Perhaps Frank should try to work him into the rotation. If he can get Charlie 4.4 seconds, surely he can find twice that for Austin.
Frank gotta figure out which Players to match up with these different teams, this is a team of pros! Everybody has bad days, everybody on the team can ball, it's how you use them. If we stay with way we are playing, we are screwed...if stuckey is off, put somebody else in, let AD play the " 2 ".. What's the worst that can happen, we lose? He would slow his man, with his height at least, or use his five fouls.. Remember we used TP like that with Kobe and it worked......
Six fouls.....
Welcome to the forum Kick It To The Big Man. Frank can only do so much when he needs scoring and defense, and Austin Daye really doesn't provide either.
By that rationale, the guy they are playing instead of Daye also has six fouls to give. Just sayin'
Glad to be on here, thanks... I just think he playin him in the wrong spot, he could give him a play where he can catch a OOPS.. To be that tall, he can move, we need a secret weapon... It would work....
At the moment, you can probably substitute Daye for any player in the rotation and it won't make a difference.
Holy showcasing! Patient Austin Daye passes first test to get another shot at securing a spot in Detroit Pistons rotation | MLive.com Kim Jong Il couldn't get that kind of press coverage and he had the power to execute.
This quote threw me because it's not real, the satire is really subtle, and I'm not catching the reference.
I was just seeing if anyone would make it that far.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
If the diagonal measurements check out, set the frame up on jackstands on a LEVEL surface, with a long level placed across the rear rails so that they are level. Place a third jackstand under the front crossmember and level the frame front to rear by placing a level in the driver/passenger area on top of the framerail. Now, measure from the floor to the bottom of the framerail on each side at the front. This will tell you if the frame is tweaked in the other dimension, sort of like an airplane propeller is twisted. If there is no more than 1/8 inch of twist in the frame front to rear, you have indeed found a valid frame to begin your project. If there's more twist than that, it's back to the frame machine to bend the twist out of it or start with another frame.
Insuring yourself that the frame is valid to begin with will sidestep a ton of problems down the road.
If you will tell us EXACTLY what you are starting with and EXACTLY what your plans for it are, there are lots and lots of guys on this forum who can simplify the process for you. Many of us have "been there, done that" and can save you effort, heartache and money on your project if you will cooperate. What frame? What body? Is this the '49 Chevy pickup that was in the title of your thread? What suspension? Clip(s) from what? Built high with lots of road clearance? Built low to hang up on speed bumps? Onroad use? Offroad use? What motor? What transmission? Street car? Street/strip car? Road race car? Mud bogs? Sand drags? Will you expect the car/truck to handle well on twisty roads? Back and forth to bingo for grandma? Silver State Classic? Bonneville? Dry Lakes? Parking lot Gymkhana? Roadster with the top cut off? Chopped top? Channelled? Sectioned? Front or rear engine? Cooling system? Fuel system? Exhaust system? What wheelbase?(on a clipped truck, place the tires/wheels into the wheelwells with the body on jackstands. Stand back and "eyeball" the front to rear placement of the tires so that it looks right. Measure center to center of the wheels. That will establish your wheelbase). Track width?(Don't choose a clip until you figure out the stock track and the clip track). Tires/wheels? Rat rod? Car show entrant? Fenders or no fenders? Pickup bed or no bed? Emissions?

Had to take the morning off on Saturday. Went solo and hunted a new spot I locked up in Putnam Co., NY Saturday afternoon. No birds down but figured out where they want to be - should be a killer spot for Sundays after the first split.
Hunted Sunday in another part of NY with a couple of buddies - had a slower morning but scratched off a GWT (opinions on hen or drake?), a hen Ruddy, a hen Black and a hen Mallard (not shown in the picture). Scouted the rest of the day up there and headed home.
Did some cooking last night - butterflied duck breasts, stuffed with cream cheese and fresh jalepeno and wrapped with bacon.

Fox's Media Criticism Show Covers Casey Anthony, But Not Murdoch's News Of The World Scandal
Blog ››› ››› KAREN FAMIGHETTI
This weekend, Fox News Watch, Fox News Channel's media criticism show, covered the following issues: The media's coverage of the Casey Anthony trial verdict; MSNBC's suspension of Mark Halperin for making vulgar comments about the president; the media's role in the Dominique Strauss-Kahn case; the cancellation of In the Arena, Eliot Spitzer's CNN television show; and Vice President Joe Biden's new Twitter account.
The glaring omission from this list is any mention of the shuttering of the Rupert Murdoch-owned News of the World, billed as the largest English-language newspaper in the world, which published its last edition today. The paper is folding following allegations that it hacked the voicemails of a slain teen girl in the United Kingdom, an action which potentially impeded the police investigation and gave the girl's family false hope that she was still alive. There are also allegations that family members of soldiers who died in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and families of victims of the 2005 subway bombings have been phone hacked.
Murdoch's News Corp. owns Fox News, and Fox News has been slow to cover the phone hacking scandal, but how could Fox's media criticism show get away with not mentioning News of the World at all?
It would be surprising, except for the recent history of Fox News Watch. In the last couple of years, Fox News Watch has ignored Fox News Washington managing editor Bill Sammon's admission that he linked President Obama to socialism even though he "privately" believed the link to be "far-fetched" at the time, ignored the fact that Sammon sent an e-mail directing Fox reporters to skew reporting on climate change, ignored the fact that Fox pulled the plug on Sean Hannity's decision to charge admission for a taping of his show and direct all proceeds to the Cincinnati tea party, kept silent about Fox Business' host Andrew Napolitano's 9-11 conspiracy theories, and ignored donations made by News Corp. to Republican-aligned groups.
In April 2010, Joe Strupp reported that Eric Burns, who hosted Fox News Watch from 1998 to 2008 said that in his final year hosting the program, "The show was getting to be more and more of a struggle to do fairly." So this decision to ignore the Murdoch scandal is not a surprise. But it does delegitimize any claim the show has to thoroughly covering the media landscape.

The Pirates made another attempt to trade for Twins shortstop J.J. Hardy on Thursday night, but were unable to complete a deal, major league sources say.
The Twins tendered Hardy a contract by the midnight ET deadline, but still could trade him and go with Tsuyoshi Nishioka and Alexi Casilla as their middle infield.
The Pirates continue to engage in trade discussions for at least two available shortstops – Hardy and the Rays' Jason Bartlett.
The Orioles and Padres also are looking for shortstops. The Giants and Cardinals still could upgrade, even after aquiring Miguel Tejada and Ryan Theriot, respectively.
