"You can substitute other lettuces - my small local grocery didn't have any Bibb or Boston on hand the night I shopped so we used Romaine. Making a fresh dressing encouraged my picky daughter to try something besides ranch, she agreed this was good! No one in my family likes exactly the same salad toppings, so I tend to make individual salads - daughter doesn't like blue cheese and husband is allergic to walnuts."

Climate sensitivity: Plus ça change…
Almost 30 years ago, Jule Charney made the first modern estimate of the range of climate sensitivity to a doubling of CO2. He took the average from two climate models (2ºC from Suki Manabe at GFDL, 4ºC from Jim Hansen at GISS) to get a mean of 3ºC, added half a degree on either side for the error and produced the canonical 1.5-4.5ºC range which survived unscathed even up to the IPCC TAR (2001) report. Admittedly, this was not the most sophisticated calculation ever, but individual analyses based on various approaches have not generally been able to improve substantially on this rough estimate, and indeed, have often suggested that quite high numbers (>6ºC) were difficult to completely rule out. However, a new paper in GRL this week by Annan and Hargreaves combines a number of these independent estimates to come up with the strong statement that the most likely value is about 2.9ºC with a 95% probability that the value is less than 4.5ºC.
Before I get into what the new paper actually shows, a brief digresssion…
We have discussed climate sensitivity frequently in previous posts and we have often referred to the constraints on its range that can be derived from paleo-climates, particularly the last glacial maximum (LGM). I was recently asked to explain why we can use the paleo-climate record this way when it is clear that the greenhouse gas changes (and ice sheets and vegetation) in the past were feedbacks to the orbital forcing rather than imposed forcings. This could seem a bit confusing.
First, it probably needs to be made clearer that generally speaking radiative forcing and climate sensitivity are useful constructs that apply to a subsystem of the climate and are valid only for restricted timescales – the atmosphere and upper ocean on multi-decadal periods. This corresponds in scope (not un-coincidentally) to the atmospheric component of General Circulation Models (GCMs) coupled to (at least) a mixed-layer ocean. For this subsystem, many of the longer term feedbacks in the full climate system (such as ice sheets, vegetation response, the carbon cycle) and some of the shorter term bio-geophysical feedbacks (methane, dust and other aerosols) are explicitly excluded. Changes in these excluded feaures are therefore regarded as external forcings.
Why this subsystem? Well, historically it was the first configuration in which projections of climate change in the future could be usefully made. More importantly, this system has the very nice property that the global mean of instantaneous forcing calculations (the difference in the radiation fluxes at the tropopause when you change greenhouse gases or aerosols or whatever) are a very good predictor for the eventual global mean response. It is this empirical property that makes radiative forcing and climate sensitivity such useful concepts. For instance, this allows us to compare the global effects of very different forcings in a consistent manner, without having to run the model to equilibirum every time.
To see why a more expansive system may not be as useful, we can think about the forcings for the ice ages themselves. These are thought to be driven by the large regional changes in insolation driven by orbital changes. However, in the global mean, these changes sum to zero (or very close to it), and so the global mean sensitivity to global mean forcings is huge (or even undefined) and not very useful to understanding the eventual ice sheet growth or carbon cycle feedbacks. The concept could be extended to include some of the shorter time scale bio-geophysical feedbacks but that is only starting to be done in practice. Most discussions of the climate sensitivity in the literature implicitly assume that these are fixed.

Hello All!
Wanted to introduce myself. I am new to the area, I have been living in Philadelphia area for about 6 months now. Made the move from Wisconsin and I tell you it is a lot different over here! My experience waterfowl hunting is pretty strong. I hunted fields, marshes and open waters over in Wisconsin for over 15 years. I don't mind hunting puddlers early in the season but I really prefer to hunt divers. My specialty has been open water hunting. Back home we shot a lot of cans, redheads and bills. We also have a real good population of sea ducks on Lake Michigan and I was one of the first guys to really hunt the big water hard. Scooter and Old Squaws by the thousands and lots of fun! I don't have a boat right now over here so just looking at some of my options. I would say in a year or two I will be gearing up with a sea duck rig for sure. Being in Philly I am not sure what hunting opportunities I would have. I use to hunt early season ducks in public marshes back home and it was a blast. Over here I am not sure what my options are? I would love to shot some puddle ducks this year and find some places that I can just throw on my waders and head out. I have a strict policy when I hunt personally to only shot drakes and I have no problem if someone else shoots hens I just choose not to. I am great with a call and don't mess around. I have a few questions so I thought I would start here....can anyone tell me what part of the Chesapeake Bay guys open water hunt for divers? (what city or town do you typically launch out of) Any ideas for public marshes to hunt? What about the Atlantic Ocean what port should I be hunting out of for seaducks? Do you get any eiders this far south? If anyone can point me in the right directions that would be great. Would love to tag a long on some hunts in the future if possible....I could exchange a hunt or two for some bass fishing on the bay. Have a 21 foot Triton Bass boat and just came off of the Bassmaster Elite Series so I tend to think I know what I am doing on the fishing side. Thanks!

According to one report, Kentucky has achieved another first among the states: we now have the distinction of being the worst state in the nation when it comes to funding its pension system for state retirees.
We've bested Illinois for this spot! At a board meeting this week, the Kentucky Retirement System announced that its funding ratio is below 25 percent, beating out Illinois as the lowest funding ratio in the nation.
A legislative task force has been meeting all year on what lawmakers need to do to reform the pension system.
Jim Waters, the president of the Bluegrass Institute for Public Policy Solutions, has a lot to say about the system; his group has been closely monitoring the work of the task force for months.
This Sunday on One to One, Waters tells us what needs to be done.
• Sunday, Dec. 9 at 1 pm ET on KET and Tuesday, Dec. 11 at 7:30 pm ET on KET 2 Here's a preview:

One of my childhood memories is that of Grandpa Lawson having a stroke a day or two before Christmas and dying.
By Karen Redfern
Both sadness and joy marked Monday afternoon, when Phyllis Rames announced that one incredible lady by the name of Jeanne Witbracht had died during the weekend.
Steadfast, loyal and giving, Jeanne was a dedicated Evergreen Outreach volunteer who will no longer be in our midst. She will be missed.
Free Christmas dinner at Northside
A free Christmas dinner will be offered at Northside Christian Church to those who aren't able to be with their family on the holiday.
The dinner, which runs from noon until 1 p.m. on Christmas day, will be available to the first 100 guests to sign up. To make reservations, call the church at 283-1970 by Friday.
The church is located at 1845 W. Jackson St. in Vandalia.
Live nativity scene through this Friday
A Christmas musical performance, held Saturday at Bethel Baptist Church in rural Vandalia, included several area musicians.
Shown here are Pete Sutherland, Ed Taylor and Marla Ainscough. Also on the program were Shirley Eddy, the Fourgiven Quartet, Bailey and Cassidy Jones, Jamie and Amy Manasco, and two choirs from Bethel Baptist Church. Norris Price emceed the event.
By Mary Woolsey
Ho! Ho! Ho! Are you ready for Christmas? Do you have your shopping done? Is the house decorated. Are the cards sent? Are you so busy that you sometimes forget the reason for Christmas? God sent his son, Jesus, or there would not be a reason for Christmas.
It was wonderful seeing Donna Smith at the piano again, playing some of her many songs. Donna had lost her dear husband, Gail, recently, so it was good to see her back at Evergreen Outreach.
Cookies were donated by the United Methodist Women and drinks were served.
On Jordan's Bank the Baptist's cry
Announces that the Lord is nigh;
Awake, and hearken, for he brings
Glad tidings of the King of Kings.
(Advent Hymn)
John the Baptist did not have an identity crisis, but evidently the people around him did. John knew very well who he was and what his life was all about; those around him seemed quite puzzled, though.
FCC Ladies Christmas brunch Saturday
First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) of Vandalia will host a Ladies Christmas brunch this Saturday at 9:30 a.m.
Providing the music for the event will be Rayvan Gouch, the second-place contestant in the Vandalia Idol contest.
Chili lunch this Sunday at Holy Cross
Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Vandalia will host a chili lunch to raise funds for Camp CILCA (in Cantrall) this Sunday, beginning at 11:30 a.m.
By Edith Elliott
"The weather outside is frightful...but the fire is so delightful." That line from the Christmas song was appropriate for the weather on Monday.
Moving from the news of the day in our topsy-turvy world, where politics, budgets and downsizing are the dominant topics, to the peace and joy of Wesley Hall and Evergreen Outreach is akin to finding that "fire."
Miles Filer greeted everyone at the door, giving assistance where needed.
When we think of the birth of Jesus, we always think of a serene nativity scene.
By Joyce Mueller
Simple acts of kindness seem to be less evident in today's world. It is so important to look for ways that we can help each other. At EO, this is practiced by volunteers who give time and talent each Monday afternoon. Attendance is usually high, as everyone looks forward to the programs.
Cindy Hunter was in charge this week and led everyone in the "Welcome" and "EO" songs. She also welcomed a first-time visitor, Crystal Atwood.

Obama and guns
Obama and guns
In speech after speech, Barack Obama has claimed he would "uphold the Second Amendment." Mr. Obama, of course, is a polished speaker who says "words matter." But records matter more. And while Mr. Obama is short on experience on most issues, he's long on anti-gun votes and even longer on rhetoric. Now's a good time to review both.
One of Mr. Obama's first statements on the issue really said it all. During his first run for the Illinois Senate in 1996, Mr. Obama said on a candidate questionnaire that he supported legislation to "ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns." When challenged about the questionnaire earlier this year, Mr. Obama blamed others, saying his campaign staff had filled out the questionnaire incorrectly. (Unfortunately for that story, a version of the questionnaire later appeared bearing Mr. Obama's own handwriting.)
Questionnaires aside, Mr. Obama has supported handgun bans even when they trap people who defend themselves. In a 2003 case, a resident of Wilmette, Ill., used a handgun to defend himself from a burglar with a drug habit and a long criminal record, breaking into his home for the second day in a row. Though authorities found the shooting justified, the armed citizen was charged with possessing a handgun in violation of Wilmette's handgun ban.
Illinois lawmakers proposed legislation that would make self-defense an "affirmative defense" against prosecution for handgun possession in towns like Wilmette. Mr. Obama voted four times against the measure, which passed over his opposition, and over a veto by Illinois' anti-gun governor, Rod Blagojevich, a long-time Obama ally.
Self-defense at home or outside the home - it's all just as bad to Mr. Obama.
In 2004, he said he was "consistently on record and will continue to be on record as opposing concealed carry," and that he'd back "federal legislation that would ban citizens from carrying weapons, except for law enforcement." Mr. Obama had already put that anti-self-defense belief into action in 2001, voting against a state Senate bill that would have allowed people who receive protective orders - such as domestic violence victims - to carry firearms. Why? Because, in Mr. Obama's world, "authorizing potential victims to carry firearms would potentially lead to a more dangerous rather than less dangerous situation It was a bad idea and I'm glad it failed," he said.
Mr. Obama also claims he's no threat to hunters.
But in 2005, he voted for a ban on all but the smallest rifle ammunition used for hunting (or for anything else). If the measure had passed, it would have classified most rifle ammunition beyond the low-powered .22 caliber as "armor piercing ammunition," prohibited for civilian manufacture by federal law. The ammunition ban was hardly Mr. Obama's first act against hunters, either. In 1999, Mr. Obama proposed increasing firearm and ammunition excise taxes by 500 percent. Right now, a rifle that a manufacturer sells for $500 carries an excise tax of $55. Under Mr. Obama's proposal, that amount would rocket to $330. This would turn a tax willingly paid by sportsmen, which funds many of our wildlife conservation programs, into a tool to punish gun buyers.
Also, while Mr. Obama promises hunters, "I will not take your shotgun away," his votes tell a different story.
In 2003, while serving on the Illinois state Senate's Judiciary Committee, Mr. Obama voted for a bill that would have banned (as so-called "semi-automatic assault weapons") most single-shot and double-barreled shotguns, along with hundreds of models of rifles and handguns. If the bill had passed, any Illinois resident who possessed one of these guns 90 days after legislation went into effect, would have faced felony charges. What was that about not taking shotguns away?
As if voting for anti-gun plans wasn't bad enough, Mr. Obama also helped pay for them. He was a board member from 1994 to 2001 of the anti-gun Joyce Foundation, which is the largest source of funding for radical anti-gun groups in the country. On Mr. Obama's watch, Joyce donated $18.6 million to approximately 80 anti-gun efforts, including $1.5 million to the Violence Policy Center, the nation's most aggressive gun-prohibitionist group. Many of the Joyce Foundation's projects were aimed at editing the Second Amendment out of the Constitution.
But an Obama Supreme Court could do that more directly. Mr. Obama has said he would not have nominated Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court. It was Justice Scalia who wrote the majority opinion in D.C. v. Heller, which declared that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to keep and bear arms, and that D.C.'s handgun ban is unconstitutional. Justice Thomas joined in that opinion. As a member of the U.S. Senate, Mr. Obama also voted against confirming Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito, both of whom joined Justice Scalia's majority opinion in Heller. That means four of the five pro-freedom votes on the Supreme Court would not have been there under an Obama presidency.
This is the real Barack Obama. This record matches the attitude Mr. Obama revealed when he said rural Pennsylvanians are "bitter" and "cling to guns." This record matches what you would expect to emerge from a Chicago political machine where an unrepentant terrorist is "respectable" and "mainstream."
Finally, with no way to run from his record, Mr. Obama resorts to the ultimate political dodge. Does he support gun registration? "I don't think that we can get that done." Banning guns? "I couldn't get it done. I don't have the votes in Congress."
These efforts to ease gun owners' fears should make any gun owner ask, "Wait why is he counting all these votes already?" Instead of this not-so-reassuring rhetoric, gun owners deserve the truth. And the truth is clear: Barack Obama would be the most anti-gun president in history - bar none.

Definitely a good read. It may be worth looking into some of the statements made to prove their factuality due to the source:
But if what Mr. Cox says is true, it does appear that Obama is certainly over the top on this one.

I would love to see obama get in office and do this.
1. take away guns
2. remove the right to vote (afterall he is the one who said americans are too dumb to vote)
then sit back a watch americans shit their pants.

If, he gets elected, his heads gonna spin around like the exorcist.
I can't stand him, he's got all these connections to really questionable people, and the sheeple will vote for him.
Remember, vote early, in case they find more shi# on him, too late, you already voted for him.

where do you come up with this stuff?
the senate is split, there will be no ban on guns.
take away the right to vote? are you on meds for your high blood pressure and you took too many? you must be delusional.

he will find a way. all socialist dictators do. read your history
the messiah himself has said:
the people are too dumb to vote
the constitution is flawed
I want to take away guns
spread the wealth.
you underestimate the evil you are voting for.
once you vote for him it's over. you cannot undo the vote once he starts to take away your rights should he decide to.
what he says at rallies and in the public is not what he intends to do. you need to learn that.

Gun stores are doing big business these days despite the sluggish economy.

i love how people think that it can't happen. Until recently handguns were banned in Chicago. And i think they are still banned in DC but i could be wrong. I bet people thought that couldn't happen either.
And there are other alternatives to just banning them that could be just as bad. Oh you want guns? a box of ammo is now $350 or tax on guns is now up 1,000%
the amendment is open to interpretation. Right to bear arms- What arms? How many? At what times? How much will it cost?

the obama's power is coming from the fact he has hoodwinked people into believing he is an honest fair man with their intentions first. like fools they believe him.

The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
- Friend: "I pull down about a hundred sacks of Galleons a year! I'm a dragon killer for the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures."
- Wizard: "No, you're not! You're a dishwasher at the Leaky Cauldron … but I'm a Vampire Hunter, I've killed about ninety so far - "

This individual was a wizard who attended the 1994 Quidditch World Cup between Bulgaria and Ireland. He claimed that he was a Vampire Hunter in an attempt to impress a group of Veela, after refuting the claims of his friend who said he was a dragon killer. It is extremely unlikely that the "vampire hunter"'s claim was true given that killing vampires is illegal under the Guidelines for the Treatment of Non-Wizard Part-Humans (paragraph twelve).

Exercise Can Maintain Heart Health
Moms and dads...you have an exercise plan but what about your kids? Your child's heart health is important too! Heart health is based on genetics, diet and lastly exercise. (For adults and my teen patients as well, need to add smoking and drinking to the discussion).
While I start talking about healthy eating during infancy the discussion about exercise comes a bit later. If you have a toddler you know they "exercise".....all day long, and never stop except to sleep! But as our children get older, once again it is up to the parents to model behavior, including exercise.
I regularly ask, "how much time does your child play outside?" (I know it is much harder in winter months), "what does your child do for exercise outside of school?" and "do you exercise as a family?'". Once a child is older, say 5 or so, I include them in the questioning as well as they are a wealth of information. I ask them "if they ride a bike"....they love to tell me about taking off their training wheels. Then I ask "who they ride with and where do they go?". I also ask about bike helmets, you would be amazed at how many children tell me that they wear a helmet, but their parents don't! (HINT HINT to parents).
I find that most children under the age of 10 or so do get a fair amount of exercise, but as they get older many have stopped playing sports outside of school and have chosen to spend more time being sedentary. They are not just watching TV, but have found other interests like music, art, drama, chess and even computer programming. All of that is great, but children still need exercise and many schools have cut PE programs especially once you get to middle school and high school. This means that parents once again may have to encourage exercise, for the whole family. Walking the dog, family bike rides, tennis matches, front yard kickball or badminton. Get the family exercising together....they may not even realize.
The hardest group I have to encourage to exercise are my teens who are just not athletes (I can sympathize). We all have our talents, but for some sports are not it. I find myself asking my teenage patients, how much exercise they get and so many say, "None". Many say, "walking between classes" is all of their exercise, and the idea of walking to school is long gone for most. Many of my teens start to gain weight after puberty and have to be reminded that we all stop growing....so you can't keep gaining weight. Exercise has to be done on a regular basis...again it is about lifestyle.
So, heart health and exercise should be a focus for families year round, see if you can get your family moving as we head into spring!

International University of Japan: Chinese is a Current Wonderful Benefit
An interview with Chet Borucki
Graduate School of International Management International University of Japan
What the world's businesses need today are people who can lead on the global stage with cultural understanding, comfort in diversity, and practiced skills in classroom and social settings to work and lead effectively on international teams. That is what you get at IUJ. Japan's leading and first western-styled MBA gives you all of that plus a solid foundation in the business skills expected of an MBA. If you are considering a career that engages Japan and Asia, IUJ is your training ground. Study in English; Learn about Japan; build a network for Asia Business activities; Gain international communication skills. Prepare for a successful global career. The IUJ MBA.
What business areas do your students enter after graduation?
IUJ's students seek a variety of career opportunities. Those choosing to remain in Japan tend to head into foreign companies in finance and some into IT, marketing or consulting roles. Those returning home often go into consulting, marketing and banking/finance positions throughout Asia, or with firms with business in Japan or Asia in the West or greater Asian region.
What makes your job placement outstanding?
IUJ is perhaps the only graduate program in Japan offering placement services as they are defined in the US. The career counselor works very closely with candidates on an individual basis as they first explore their career options, prepare to apply and interview, and then reach out to the companies they wish to pursue. Calling upon a diverse group of company contacts and the Alumni Network, direct introductions as well as on-campus recruiting are fostered. Students entering IUJ are greeted with a fivesession career workshop series, and then once the academic year starts, there are workshops and individual counseling sessions every week. Internships are an important aspect of career counseling and services at IUJ with many having the chance to experience corporate Japan from the inside, as well as work toward employment offers with foreign companies in Japan.
What type of firms employ your graduates?
Again, the company list is diverse, with foreign financial firms heading the list of most popular companies to hire directly from campus. In the past few years, this list though has changed to include more IT and consulting firms, reflecting the economic conditions of Japan. Some Japanese firms, especially those expanding their presence in Asia, recruit from IUJ in increasing numbers. These are in the automobile and manufacturing sector, and in increasing numbers in the financial services and consulting services sectors. IUJ has an open invitation at several consulting and IT firms, and financial firms for talented individuals with bi- and tri-lingual skills (English- Japanese or English-Japanese-Chinese).
Which firms recruit your graduates?
Specific companies in Tokyo that recruit directly from IUJ are Lehman Brothers Japan, Citibank, Shinsei Bank, Bloomberg, PRTM, etc. Many more companies look for introductions from campus for employers and interns, such as Boston Consulting, McKinsey & Co., DaimlerChrysler, Toyota Motors, Ford Motors, Matsushita Electric company and many companies expanding into China or other Asian countries.
What is your advice for potential MBA students?
An MBA can be more meaningful with solid work experience behind you. Finding a career after an IUJ MBA can also be easier for those with four to five years of work experience in a related field. While we do have a number of people changing their careers with an IUJ MBA, getting skills and experiences that relate to a new career path before and during the MBA is important. Language skills, as well, can open so many doors. So the best advice for someone thinking of getting an IUJ MBA and staying in Japan to develop their career is: come with at least three solid years of work experience and as much Japanese and English language skills as possible. Chinese is a current wonderful benefit, as are IT skills.

text: just bought S&W M&P 9mm yesterday. shot both and 2 more before I bought. Both shoot well, but I was sold on the smaller frame, hence concealment of the M &P. Handle both and do what feels right to you. Good luck and good placement. (note that I only shot 9mm)

Mike can give ya all the info on the bore axis - he loves to talk about that
Basically, the gun design allows it to come back onto target faster after a shot. Glocks are very popular in competitions.
Also, the Glock 34/35 has a long barrel, long sight radious, a little bit lighter trigger, and extended slide release and extended mag release.
I have 1. It is a very nice gun. It is the only Glock I like (and I have owned other ones in the past)

thinking about buying..help please
Hey guys,
I plan on adding another BMW to the family this week. I have access to a few different 7 series models. I have been hearing from people that around the 2003 year model, there are all kinds of common problems. some associated with electrical issues, and others with the control system and all its menus.
I am hoping to get some insight as to which direction to go. I have 4 choices.
1) 2003 745 il 120k miles
2) 1998 740 il 154k miles
3) 2001 740 il 139k miles
4) 2000 740 il 109k miles
all 4 appear to be in good condition. Allegedly everything works on all models. So which of these has been known to have the least bugs / issues? Help greatly appreciated. Ifanyone has specific knowledge about what I should be looking for, please post.
there are also a few 5 series on the lot, but I think I want a 7 series.
If I had to pick I would get the 03 one if you have hte money to spare if anything needs sorting. If its too cheap, theres probably a reason.
To be fair I haven't had any serious electrical issues in my old 03 745i or my new 02 745i but I hear they do happen.
The main reason I would get that one is that I love the e65 and don't like the interior on the older models.
thanks for the reply. I know what you mean. The body style on the 03 is a lot nicer imo, and it stayed pretty much the same until 09, so you still have way more of a "new car" effect with it. The 01 is about half the price of the 03. I am not sure why. I think it is for the reason I just mentioned.
obviously, they are all really nice cars. A lot nicer than my 95 325 ic. I am pretty sure that I will be happy with any of them. I am just a little concerned about all the issues I have heard come with the car. Has anyone had a major issues with their cars?
what can I expect?
I'm not sure if you're buying your 1st 7 series but trying to buy a 7 series with a 100k + is not the best investment "IMO". Most of us who still have 745's bought them while they still had low miles. If I were you an I had cash to buy one I would use the cash as a down payment on a newer 7 or something else. After a 100k on these cars things tend to break a lot more an leak from everywhere( depending on prior owner). If you really want to enjoy your ride an save on sooner than you think repairs keep looking at maybe 06- 08 750's. The 750's have a newer look with less issues than its predecessor(745). Best Of Luck though.
those sound all like big pieces of $hit. the e38 body had probs with the trans going after 100k.
Luckily, I can wipe my a55 with the cost of the car. Still though, no need to be such a tool.
What I have read says the 2002-2008 cars have electrical issues, as well as some other problems.. Apparently though, the car will either have them, or not, and you would know long before 100k.
so what you are telling me is that BMW's flagship car has issues at 100k even though I have been driving bmw's into the 200k range since high school? i own a little 325 which now has 200k on it, and it still drives great and the ac is still cold. I am hoping that the Germans stepped it up and did the right thing.
any other issues that are common? what about with the 2001? other than the body style change, are there any major differences?
YES at 100k miles you are looking at problems! As far as electrical problems goes, I don't know what people mean by that. I have never seen a 7 series with electrical problems. I have heard years ago when the E65/66 1st came out it was referred to as a car with electrical issues (by those who never actually owned one). These cars are not the easiest to maintain especially after 100k+ miles on them. If you think you can handle it go for it but expect to pay 7k-10k on the car an within a few months an additional 3k - 5k in repairs. No one is being hard but we can almost predict your future. You will be posting what does this mean, how much do this cost etc. If you want a piece of mind look at 06- 08's. After the purchase of the 745 an the repairs within your 1st year you could have had a newer looking ride with fewer issue an that biggest thing called "A Piece Of Mind".
Listen, I bought an 02 745i with 120K in january of last year for around 10k, first year i spent 4k.
1Kish for IPod integration (new dash screen aka MMI, Ipod kit, new glove button trim cover, some programming)
350 for a new 3d nav (this didnt NEED to be replaced I did this by choice)
350 for a working L7 amp on ebay (my old one was dead)
replaced alternator for 650ish , parking brake, all cooling hoses and the tank/cap, oil changes, brakes, spark plugs, air filters, cabin air filters, VCG, oil pressure switch***, got a matching spare tire, etc etc to clean her up. all together came to about 4K.
Anyways, now I am at 146500 (I drive a lot) No MIL No leaks. If you buy one of these cars with over 100K just be well aware you will need some money aside for maintenance repairs because chances are the PO is selling to avoid the costs.
Could I have bought a newer one for 14K? probably. but then again I may have had to fix the same things or possibly more
all points well taken and thank you. I am truly a rookie when it comes to the 7 series. I actually just went through this whole thing with a Porsche 928 I bought,
anyway, so I guess I shouldnt buy a 7 series? They are actually at a dealership, and seem to be well cared for. Of course they more than likely came from an auction. Who knows what its rel history is. I am kind of bummed. I really wanted to buy a 7 series tomorrow.
I have seen so many good writeups on the 2001 and 2003 about how great a performer it is. problems are mentioned a lot.
I am thinking that maybe I will pick up the 2001 which is almost 1/2 the price of the 2003. Different body style, but maybe more reliable?
thanks again guys,

What's the story on TWAIN compatibility of the actual scanner hardware?
(TWAIN being the imaging standard that allows scanners to work with pretty much ANY scanning software you want to use - nothing to do with the American author and humourist, nor with the Canadian country singer)
Has anyone used this with photos?
I'm just not getting the value here. Presumably you need a printer in your office so this is an additional piece of equipment. If you got a decent all in one with a duplexing ADF (automatice document feeder) you could get the functionality of this device plus flatbed scanning, faxing, and printing. What am I missing?
prakashgupta wrote:Does it work with mac?
See the 4th comment on page one.
This may have been useful a few years ago, but these days I just take a picture of the receipt/document with my phone and use an app to convert it to a .pdf and upload them to dropbox/box for safekeeping. This might not be a good method for large amounts of documents but it works great for small amounts.
mschauber wrote:What software (and where) did you find online that works like the Neat software?
EDIT: Can this scan double sided documents, like 20 or 30 page double sided contracts, etc?
If you're a lawyer looking for a scanning solution, go Fujitsu. ScanSnap 1500 is very popular and comes with a full standard version of Adobe Acrobat (which every lawyer should have, though I'd recommend upgrading to Acrobat Professional). If you have heavy duty scanning to do, get one of the Fujitsu work group or departmental level scanners that have both ADF and flatbed (for printed books, etc.) capabilities. Acrobat's OCR is pretty good, but for world class OCR you need OmniPage Professional anyway.
I've had a scanner next to my desk since 1990 or so and find it invaluable. I also have, and sometimes use, a small portable battery powered wand-type scanner that works reasonably well in places where a full sized scanner or copier isn't available.
This looks overpriced for what it is to me, especially as it's refurbished. Spend a few bucks more and get a Fujitsu or even an HP scanner. (I still have a 10 year old HP backup scanner that would meet most people's needs perfectly well and plays well with Acrobat and OmniPage).
Got one of these last time it was on woot back in January(?), and am quite happy with it. Does everything I need it to do, has archived about three past years of records and is keeping up with new files as I add them.
The software is adequate, albeit a little slow; but all in all very happy with this little unit.

It depends on your needs. Most all-in-ones (and I have one which is mostly used as a fax) don't do any of their functions as well as a dedicated device - unless you spend real money: the HP I was looking at that seems to be well reviewed and works as well as my current scanner and printer, with fax capability, is about $3,000. If you do only casual scanning, an inexpensive all-in-one will suit you just fine. Once you start scanning documents of any significant length on a regular basis, you need a better and faster scanner. Scanning tends to be one of the weaker functions of most all-in-ones.
CNET users reviews not so good.
NeatDesk Desktop Scanner and Digital Filing System- ...
$379.99 - Amazon.com
NeatDesk Desktop Scanner And Digital Filing System
$379.99 - Office Depot
$399.99 at many other online retailers
$399.95 at NEAT.com
I have had (3) of the portable units. The first one was given to me by mobile promotions job---after about 3 years of abuse, it stopped functioning...my new mobile promotions job at the time then purchased (2) portable units (one for me and one for them). I purchased them with my company credit card over the phone with NEAT. I purchased those 2 units refurbished from them at $100 discount on each. So, the portable units (refurb) from NEAT were $99 each. I "assume" they will offer the same deal (maybe better) ordering refurbished from them---so, at most, a refurbished unit directly from NEAT should be $299.99 (maybe less). Worth a call???
I am quite happy overall with the portable units. Some minor software issues at times and I did have the one portable scanner go bad (customer support worked extensively with me on the issues when it occured---I even allowed them to remotely access my laptop at the time in attempts to get it functioning again).

Agreed. I have this (paid more for a refurb from Neat as it wasn't coming up on Woot at the time). I will list the differences.
Speed - this is WAY faster than a flat bed even for a single side - and it does 2 sides at once.
pdf scanning - built in, no need to pay a fortune for Acrobat that scans to pdf or get the draconian software management of pdf Converter Professional (and still pay $100)
Neat Software:-
Receipt recognition fills in most of the database field for receipts pretty well - still needs checking and some editing, but a huge time saver compared with manual entry.
Business Card Filing - same comments as for receipts
Other Document Filing - not as automatic as this covers a wide range of data formats, but still way faster than using a flatbed.
I looked at this and ended up going with the much better reviewed Fujitsu Snap Scan. Some people have been asking why these type of products are so expensive in comparison to a standard scanner, well the Fujitsu is a full duplex (double sided) scanner in one pass. The Fujitsu also scans items into PDFs that are searchable and allows you to store web pages as PDF as well with the software included. The downside is that it is not a TWAIN device and therefore I have to use my multifunction to scan in checks to my online bank.
Although I cannot speak to THIS product, the idea of these are great. I have reduced the amount of papers on hand, reduced search time for finding items, and increased organization. I scan receipts directly into a folder that I named Taxes 2012 etc. The idea behind these also works because it allows you to keep records of things you may want to keep but may not otherwise be willing to store.
This scanner has a limited audience and really is not worthy of a woot. Most people can get the functionality they need out of a common less than $100 scanner. I use my android phone using the app camcard (I'm sure Iphone probably has a similar app), it will take picture of the business card, using OCR it parses out the information to put in the appropriate fields then adds it to your address book and also retains the original image of the card. The unique things that this can do (that cheaper scanners and/or smart phones can't), like taking 2-sided scans of a 30 page document, is something that most people don't have a need for. This is at least the second time I've seen this on woot- I'm not impressed, in addition the pricing isn't that great either.
Does this work with Evernote?
I have one, and it works well; the best part is the recognition software. What I do not like about it is that the database behind it will not work on a network, so it only works on a dedicated PC. Even if you back up that PC, the data just appears as a data blob, and if you lose your data, the only way to get it back is to restore the entire PC.
I purchased this item last year when it was offered here on Woot. Out of the box, it didn't work. Turned out to be a bad power cord. Once that was resolved, I discovered the scanner itself didn't work--actually, it worked great for 3 document scans then quit. It took about 6 weeks of haggling with Neat customer support (try this, now that, then do this)and one VERY firm letter from me for them to finally send me a replacement unit.
Now, I am happy to report, it works perfectly every time! I can scan receipts, business cards and multiple, double-sided documents without any problems. And I use it for everything. It's a lot faster than my all-in-one printer/scanner/copier (the scanner on my all-in-one doesn't have a sheet feeder, so a 10 page, 2-sided document takes forever to scan!). I even throw hand written notes I want to keep into it.
The text recognition part of the software is kinda sketchy at times. It nails business cards every time. Sometimes it gets a receipt's information correct. It never gets a document's info right, though. But, in defense, most documents aren't standardized. I did notice, however, that it does seem to learn as it goes along. One of the first things I did was scan in 20 years worth of tax returns, so I could dump all the hard copies. After about 6 or so, it stared to pick up what I needed--mostly. That being said, it is very easy to add the missing information in the text boxes. The format is simple and clean looking. And you can set up multiple folders and sub-folders to scan things to.
Very happy I purchased mine and I recommend it--even if you do end up haggling with customer service! Thinking about buying another one for my mom!

Even if you put the datafile on a NAS and app it to a drive letter?
I have yet to do this, but I'll try it later.
For real it works well. Not the best but not the worst.
Will it scan the beautiful sheen and shine of glitter?
Does anyone know if this thing will scan full color, two-sided magazine pages without bleed through? Thanks!
I've used this at my old job. It makes scanning much easier and faster. It comes in handy when scanning thousands of documents.
I love this scanner. It works very good for most receipts and is great for standard letter size documents. I regularly scan 20-30 page documents (both sides) in less than 1 minute (the capture software can take a few minutes to complete the image capture).
One of the best Woot buys I have ever made.

Hey, thanks, maelma!
According to a review on Newegg, the TWAIN support "works very poorly".
Just perusing around the web, it seems that NeatDesk scanners vary from "no TWAIN support at all" to "TWAIN support barely works at all". Apparently if you aren't using their bundled software then the company has no interest in supporting you.
doc362 wrote:This got me to thinking about preserving my vital documents, but after a little digging I think I might give the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 the job instead of the NeatDesk.
This review is slightly dated, but the points brought up aren't any weaker for it.
I like the idea of the included Acrobat license with the Fujitsu over fumbling with inferior proprietary software that is destined to destroy files the second I shred them or become obsolete over the course of various service packs and OS releases as I've seen happen to so many other products which are now e-waste.
I have used this software for over 3 years without any problems. No lost receipts or compatabilty issues with upgrades. I save the database on a portable hard drive, so transfering to a new machine was a snap.
I have fixed this problem by keeping the Neat 4.0 software and scanning everything to files instead of to Neat's database. You can make your own filing system that way, and everything is in PDF.
The OCR is great in this. I have scanned in handouts from meetings, and dsitributed to others as searchable PDFs. Works great!
micahbradshaw wrote:I teach in a school with very crowded classrooms. I've always wondered if this machine could be used to quickly scan student work and categorize it by class or student name on my computer. Saving on the mess of hundreds of papers to take home, and allowing students to keep their notes and work. Could it be used for such a purpose or is it more for receipts and whatnot?
It would probably work for that. The only bummer with it would be that, assuming your students' homework is handwritten, you wouldn't be able to take advantage of the OCR capabilities, and that is the best part of their software.
I got one in a previous Woot! It kicks ass. The only thing that doesn't work well is the output tray: if you feed multi-page trifold documents into it, they'll catch on each other, eventually pushing the pile off the desk into an unordered mess on the floor. I fixed this by keeping the tray closed, elevating the scanner slightly, and putting a smooth legal-size output tray in front of the scanner: the pages now output into a nice stack.

Supposedly no. My experience with Neat is eveerything they say their scanner's *won't* do it quite reliable. For example - they say it won't work through a USB hub. I tried it anyway, and sure enough, it didn't.
As someone who works with commercial OCR software professionally, I would not recommend this product at all. While it may be fine for smaller things, it is not suited to use in any business.
As far as I can tell they use their own recognition software. Most commercial OCR software like Kofax and Datacap license the recognition engines from the industry leaders. This is important because the results you get from these different recog engines vary and its important to use an engine that will work well.
Will this export to Expensify?
Unless your smart and you back up the database on that PC to an external hard drive.
This may be the answer to preventing the scanning of butts at the office christmas party.

What's your beef with Woot?
My dad purchased this item a while ago and about two days ago he was saying how the price never goes down from $400. Can't wait until he comes home so I can show him, But he loves it! it's so neat.
We actually wrote this up at the blog I work at. The reviewer was happy with it.

I have a Sony DSC-H20 digital camera that was dropped and would appreciate an opinion whether it is worth getting a quote. The camera turns on and lights up but there is no picture on the screen. Just a black and white random pattern and what looks like cracks in the screen surface below the exterior glass. The display wheel next to the screen gives an audible beep when pressed by there is no discernable function of the camera from this action, nor for example, does the camera zoom when the lever is activated. This has been a very good camera for me but I don't want to waste time and money sending it in if I can buy a new one for a few dollars more than the repair. Thank you.

I too have an H20 which I enjoy very much so I understand your conundrum. Personally, I think the new DSC-HX9V and other new travel zooms offer enough improvements over the H20 that I would put the cost of repair towards a new camera.

got to be kidding me
well everyones (exaduration) been doing it latly when pointing out crap.
ooooo....a buy it now!.... :moon
well said.
Man, that sure is one hot lookin' helmet! JK JK ok please don't flame me! Man that would suck if someone actually bought that... thats almost as bad, if not worse, than people selling potatos on eBay!
and to think I just bought this exact same 1996 RUBIES for the whopping price of $26.99 WHAT WAS I THINKING????????????
That guy's been selling those things for the past eight month. Everytime I do a search for helmets I see one of those on there. I noticed with eBay, a lot of people just don't know what they're selling.
almost as bad as all the "mystery helmets" available there...........I just did a prop search.
It is amazing the perception of some people. Dont they see that that is an awful piece of mess? Boy am I cleaning it up. You really dont want to know what I was really calling it.
$75 for a 97 DP he calls "new"? Who in the crap would be that dumb?
The DP i use with my costume cost me $35 on ebay two years ago.
I believe this to be a Rubie's and Rubie's Calls these Helmets "Deluxe". Same applies for their other helmets, stormtrooper, Darth etc.. You don't want to see their lower versions.
Live auctions aren't allowed if someone is actually going to bid on it!
Looks like a Rubies to me too. ugh
my lord that is horiable awfulll nasty wrong makes fett look bad it is just ass
yeah well... this aint that bad...right? I mean... it IS one of Rubies deluxe thingies? The normal version is that warpy mask like thing.
My Jango Rubies was supposed to be a "deluxe aswell, considerin the normal one is that 2 piece PVC injected thingy.
And as for "brand new" I interprete that as:"never been out of its box"
its not that 99999999 dollar deluxe I know... but still... it's even the right price for a rubies/DP
Its worth 40 bucks maybe, but not 70.
people that con like that should be taken out and fed to the Sarlaac... literally... ill make a big pit full of slow eating acid and well throw them all in... unfortunetly theyll starve before they fully dissolve.. but oh well.. there dead.

The Korean corn was good, the tahini dressing I whipped up for a salad was delicious and the vegetarian version of her black bean chili was better than the black bean chili recipe I've been making — and bragging about — for years, though I ended up doubling the chili powder and pimenton for more flavor. But I think most people buy celebrity cookbooks because of the name and not the recipes.

'It would have been merciful to fire Ruff then, allowing him to find another town in which to prove himself. Instead, Regier waited, as he has done so many times at the trade deadline. Ruff set about "reinventing" himself. He stuck around until the situation had become unbearable, with the home crowd booing throughout Tuesday's loss to the Jets and Ruff fielding questions afterward about how the fans hated his team.'
Firing Ruff is too late, and it's too little

I am kind of an old school hunter and grew up with it as a tradition. I work for the Army, not George Lynch so this not some guy that works for the company to promote their own product. This is a heart felt thanks! I was in St Louis last week and bought Lynch Mob's Hanging "Em Low volume two. I was honestly looking for Goose Society II, but Cabella's was sold out. I have a Reaper Call and love it, so I figured this video would help keep my sanity until goose season opens. The video may not have been the best quality as far as general filming, but the content of the video was better than anything I have ever watched as far as waterfowling goes. George showed setting up tricks he uses, why he does them, decoy spreads, and great dog cam footage that was really pretty different, and even how he tunes calls. This was not a killing video. This was a true hunting video. The best part of the video however, was the final few minutes. George described his passion for hunting and said something along the lines that he doesn't call hunting a sport because you don't mesasure a successful hunt by the score!!! I wish that all the big guys in the industry would remember this point. They say they do, but their videos and tv shows are all focused on the kill shots. I have even seen guys on videos laugh about blowing apart a goose's chest at five yards. I am sorry but I hunt to put meat on my table and blowing geese into fresh blood splatter and then laughing about it is wasteful and shows a complete lack of respect for the creatures we hunt.
If anyone that reads this wants to show non-hunters what we do, and maybe get them into our heritage, watch this video with them. It really bring back the focus of why we hunt, how we hunt, and the honor of hunting. I promise that no one that watches this video would be dissapointed. Lastly, I would like to say thanks to George for doing the right thing! He has earned my respect and now that I understand his promotion of the "Brotherhood" I would be proud to be a part of it!


text: to the folks that thinks this is a good idea. Since porn is thought to lead to rape and stuff, what if the paper could get the court to make the local cable companies to give out names of everyone thats ordered anything off the adult Pay per view or carry the playboy channel into thier home. AND publish the names and addresses of these folks in the name of preventing rape? Just a thought. Then lets move onto folks with HIV, and other stuff that is legal, but the paper thinks it should be outing these people that it deems degenerates or subhuman or whatever Hitler use to call the folks that disagreed with him. jim

Defense, Rebounding Help Phoenix Win Tourney Opener
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - On a possession early in the game on Tuesday night, the Green Bay men's basketball team missed five shots. It was a telling possession, but not because of the missed shots but rather the scrappiness and effort the team displayed. Each time, the Phoenix grabbed the offensive rebound and eventually earned two free throws.
That scrappiness and effort helped fourth-seeded Green Bay (17-14) hold ninth-seeded Milwaukee (8-24) to just 26.5 percent shooting and outrebound the Panthers 47-35 as the Phoenix posted a 62-46 victory in the opening round of the Horizon League Championship at the Resch Center. With the win, Green Bay polished off a three-game season sweep of its in-state league rival and advanced to Friday quarterfinals in Valparaiso, Ind., where the Phoenix will play fifth-seeded UIC at 7:30 p.m.
Milwaukee's shooting percentage, which included a 5-of-24 effort from long range, is a season low for a Division I Phoenix opponent this season. In the three-game sweep, Green Bay held Milwaukee to 19.7 percent from three (12-61).
Freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) led the charge on Tuesday, tallying 12 points, 11 rebounds, three blocked shots and three steals. The member of the Horizon League's All-Newcomer and All-Defensive Teams had nine points and six rebounds at the half as the Phoenix led 27-21 despite shooting 28.1 percent. After missing its first nine shots of the game, Green Bay went 20-of-50 the rest of the night.
Fouse's defense jumpstarted the second half for Green Bay as it turned the halftime margin into a 16-point lead with a 12-2 spurt coming out of halftime. The freshman blocked a shot on the first Panther possession, which led to a three from junior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.). Fouse then jumped a lane for a steal on the next play, starting a fastbreak which led to a pair of free throws from sophomore Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.).
Brown and Sykes, Green Bay's All-Horizon League duo, backed up their accolades in the second half. Both players scored 12 points after the break, answering each Milwaukee run and scoring the home team's final 11 points of the night.
After combining for 51 points in the first two wins over Milwaukee, Brown scored 18 points and grabbed six rebounds on Tuesday night. Sykes, who has scored 82 of his 111 points in the second half in the past six games against league opponents, finished with 16 points, six rebounds and five assists. He also made all eight of his free throws to improve to 150-of-181 on the season. With 150 free throws made, Sykes breaks the program's Division I record for free throws in a season and is just one shy of the overall record of 151 set by Ron Ripley in 1978-79.
Sophomore Greg Mays (Chicago, Ill.) helped the Phoenix outrebound Milwaukee by 12, grabbing 10 boards in just 21 minutes of play. He also had one of the team's eight blocks, which came just one shy of the tournament record.
Green Bay had just eight turnovers, including three on offensive fouls, and no Phoenix player committed more than one miscue on the night.

Notice I-10-12
May 11, 2010
NFA provides guidance for disclosure of business background information by commodity pool operators and commodity trading advisors
In 1997, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) delegated the review of disclosure documents submitted by commodity pool operators (CPO) and commodity trading advisors (CTA) to NFA. The Division of Clearing and Intermediary Oversight (DCIO) performs periodic oversight of NFA's implementation of its delegated authority. As part of these reviews, DCIO staff has communicated to NFA its expectations as to the type and breadth of information that must be disclosed regarding the background of CTAs, CPOs, and relevant individuals. NFA is providing the following guidance to clarify the requirements of the applicable regulations regarding the disclosure of business background.
CFTC Regulations 4.24 and 4.34 require that disclosure documents include, for the previous five years from the date of the document, the business backgrounds of the CTA, the CPO, the major CTAs, the CPOs of major investee pools, the pool's trading manager, and each principal of the foregoing who participates in making trading or operational decisions, or supervises persons so engaged. For each of the persons listed above, the document must include employers, business associations, or ventures (including the starting and ending month and year) for the same five year period, as well as a discussion of the duties performed by the person for each. When disclosing business background information, the discussion must be complete for the entire five year period. Any gaps in time must be explained.
Examples of disclosures within the most recent five year period:
As noted above, CFTC Regulations mandate disclosure of business background information for only the last five years from the date of the disclosure document. DCIO has advised NFA, however, that if a CTA or CPO elects to provide business background information beyond the previous five year period it must provide this information in the same level of detail as that required for the last five years. DCIO has further directed that a general reference regarding the length of an entity's or individual's experience or involvement in an industry serves to extend the time period for which disclosures must be made.
The following is an example of a disclosure recently submitted to NFA and an explanation as to why it would not comply with the above stated policy:
Example of disclosure beyond the most recent five year period:
CPOs and CTAs are encouraged to review their existing disclosure documents in light of DCIO's guidance and make any necessary changes prior to submitting subsequent filings of the document. If you have any questions concerning this notice or disclosure documents generally, please contact Mary McHenry, Senior Manager, Compliance (email@example.com or 312-781-1420) or Kaitlan Chi, Manager, Compliance (firstname.lastname@example.com or 312-781-1219).

'I think that no one said it better than Chris Drury, echoing Lindy Ruff's comments that you have to do things out of character to win in the playoffs. His comments were very revealing; that several of his teammates did not pay the price necessary to win in the post-season. Lindy Ruff seemed to say that this was another step for a young team. But, I would argue that this team as currently assembled won't take that next step, because they still need some changes to their roster before they can win the Cup.'

Leon, ideal jet for Comer 50 is a #58 especially if you're running a K&N. This is the max legal size for the class. If the jet doesn't fix your issue then some other possible causes of your problem could be a clogged/gummed fuel line and/or filter screen, a clog in the carb, a bad float and/or an air leak somewhere in the intake system. Start with the easy stuff first. Confirm that your fuel valve on the tank has good flow and blow out your fuel line with carb cleaner or just replace it with new. If you go with new, make the line about 12" versus the shorter stock length. Next carefully remove the filter screen and blow it off with carb cleaner. If this doesn't fix the problem and you need additional help feel free to give me a call 972-571-5884.

Scientists Warn Supervolcano Will Destroy US
Some of the worlds smartest geophysicists arent sleeping well anymore. Perhaps their dreams are filled with nightmaresif so, it wouldnt be surprising since what they thought they knew about volcanoes wasnt quite right. But now they know the truththe terrifying realitysupervolcanoes are activating and can destroy America at any time. Maybe in 100 years or maybe as early as next week
Forget about tumbling asteroids the size of mountains bombarding Earth Stop worrying about nuclear war Shrug off any concerns about the coming Ice Age Doomsday is probably closer than you think and no matter where you live you probably arent safe from the effects of the aftermath.
Thats the terrible reality facing scientists around the world as they scramble to revise monitoring systems to better predict the imminent destructive fury of the supervolcanoes when they blow.
For many years volcanologists thought tomorrow was a long way off. But two scientific papers published recently reassessed the danger of several ominous U.S. volcanoes: one in Death Valley, the Ubehebe Crater, is half a mile wide and more than 700 feet deep. Believed to have last erupted thousands of years ago, its now known to have blasted away during the 14th Century.
The other volcano, the famous Crater Lake cauldera in Oregon, can recharge itself in a few short decades and then explode with super-massive destructive force. Until lately, scientists believed that volcanoes also required thousands of years to become dangerously active again. They were wrong.
And changing it isat an alarming rate. The changes in knowledge that have come rapidly the past few years now have some scientists biting their nails over the Doomsday supervolcano in Yellowstone Park. That volcano has shown all the signs of becoming active: parts of the ground have heated to just under 1,000⁰ F while the earth is bulging from a building lava dome and a lake has completely boiled away.

text: Just read an article by Keith Langlois: PISTONS: Balancing Act Have to say I was quite stunned. Flip makes zero sense, talking about how he might give his starters a shorter leash, yeah right, or how he has to figure out how to play guys less. Huh? Your the coach, play some subs. The quote that really got me was ""We have to cut his minutes," Saunders said. "Cut all our guys. I was talking with (strength coach) Arnie (Kander) the other day and he said it feels like we've played 41 games. Our schedule now compared to where we were a year ago has been brutal. And it's not going to get any better over the next week. Chauncey is one of those guys, when he is a little bit either physically or mentally fatigued, he's not as sharp. He needs to make sure he has that rest going into that last five minutes." What do you mean he has to make sure he gets rest? You're the freaking coach, it's your job!!!! I didn't think it was possible for a coach to be this clueless, but here we are. And if Kander is saying our guys are starting to get burned out, all ready, 1/5th of the way into the season, my g-d where will be come playoffs. Joe, fire this clown, now. For the love of g-d, fire him.

Free Wi-Fi Goes Underground as NYC Subway Stations Get Connected
(Daniel Tucker -- New York, NY, WNYC) Six subway stations in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood now have free Wi-Fi as part of a program bringing cell phone, data and Internet access to 36 stations by the end of 2012.
Many subway riders were pleasantly surprised by the news as they went through the turnstiles at 14th Street and 7th Avenue to catch the 1, 2 or 3 trains on Monday. Igor Salay was already using the hotspot to check his email.
"Nice speed. Very fast," said Salay, 30, an MTA employee who fixes MetroCard machines. "Perfect."
Not everyone was so bullish on the new service.
"In the future, nobody will want to speak to each other," said 79-year-old Harold Arnold. He prefers talking to texting and wishes the subway would remain the last bastion against a connected culture.
He lamented that an above-ground trend — texting youths crashing into him on the sidewalk — might now extend to the subway platform. "People are like zombies walking around the city," he said.
The wired stops include stations at 6th, 7th and 8th Avenues at 14th Street, as well as the C/E station at 23rd Street.

Let's step back to January 2007. Do you remember what your job was at that time? I was already an industry analyst covering mobility, and at that time, the space was less fascinating to cover. Back in January 2007, Google had acquired YouTube for $1.65 billion only a couple of months before. Android did not exist. The iPhone did not exist. Twitter did not exist. Facebook was only a couple of months old as an open public website. Nokia had a market valuation of around $120 billion, and its share of the global smartphone market was above 45%. BlackBerry – then the leader in enterprise mobility solutions – had initiated a move in the consumer space with the BlackBerry Pearl.
Less than seven years later, Google has activated more than 1 billion Android devices, and Apple will soon pass the 700 million iOS devices mark. YouTube now has more than one billion users globally and generates 40% of its traffic from mobile devices. Facebook has 1.2 billion users and generates 41% of its ad revenues from smartphones and tablets (it could even reach 50% in Q3 2013; Facebook discloses its financial results on October 30). Twitter has more than 230 million users and generates more than 70% of its revenue via mobile.
