Your Weekly Update In The World Of Technology
Facebook Going Public
After numerous rumors swirled around the Internet and financial circles, Facebook finally went public with their IPO (Initial Public Offering) on Wednesday. The goal was to raise as much as $5 billion in the initial offering. This would make it the biggest IPO of any internet-based company, beating out Google's $1.9 billion debut back in 2004.
The real question that everyone wants to know, however, is how much Facebook is actually worth? Many believe that the social network site is worth somewhere in the range of $75 to $100 billion. This is an estimate of Facebook's worth once shares are listed a few months from now. Does this mean that you can buy shares and cash in then? Unfortunately not, as the IPO will include Facebook staff and large investors at first. Over time, if investors feel comfortable, you'll see shares open up to the typical Facebook user.
For now, you can be comfortable with the fact that Facebook will have to answer to the public after its IPO, which is big news considering Facebook's recent privacy concerns. That and the fact that Bono, yes that Bono, will own 1.5% of your beloved social network.
Microsoft Takes Aim At Google (And Its Privacy Concerns)
It looks like Microsoft is taking some shots at Google's less than popular privacy policy changes. The policy changes include Google taking user data from all of its services, such as Gmail, YouTube, and Search, and sharing activity between all of them. What that means is the items you search for, the content you email, and the videos you watch on YouTube will all be collected and stored together. The reasons for the change in data sharing are focused on delivering better and more personalized results, but also delivering more targeted ads.
Microsoft is taking a stance and running a series of ads in major newspapers in response to Google's policy changes. The goal? Forget Google and start using Microsoft services instead. The ad includes large text at the top stating "Putting people first." The purpose is to convince people that their personal information isn't exactly safe with Google anymore, and that Microsoft cares more about its users. The ads will be ran in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and USA Today.


text: Well we've discussed John Wall. We're not guaranteed to get the #1 pick, but there are some serious players to be had in the first 5 picks of this draft.The kid at Wake Forest, Aminu is pretty good too.Wesley Johnson at Syracuse.And Derrick Favors has a very high ceiling.And we haven't even gotten into the big guys like Ed Davis and Greg Monroe yet.While Wall may not be available, we've got to get a top 3 pick because my favorite player (and as a Michigan Alum it pains me to say this ), Evan Turner - will be as good as Brandon Roy, he is a real PTP'r, a flat out STUD!. A 6'7" super scorer at the SG spot, who can handle and distribute like a PG, court sense like a PG, makes plays like a PG, racks up asts like a PG, defends and rebounds like a SF, and can defend all 3 perimeter positions, and has a non-stop motor like Ben W and JJ.........We gotta get this kid!!! Joe please don't pass this kid up because we already have someone at this position (you know like you did with Melo, Bosh, and Wade)

Re: some Experience with webMathematica
This all doesn't sound good. I am highly interested in webMathematica and thought that basically webMathematcia is as cdc only that you can also input and import user data. I just didn't try yet, as I have to secure the funding to afford the $10.000 or so to buy the package. Does anyone have a public webMathematica project? I would be very interested in trying it.

January 24, 2013
CORAL GABLES, Fla. - Fresh off a last second win at Wake Forest, the University of Miami women's basketball team was looking for similar last-second heroics against North Carolina on Sunday at the Bank United Center. But it was the Tar Heels who hit their final basket, edging out the Hurricanes 64-62 at the buzzer.
"It was a horrible, disappointing way to lose," said Miami head coach Katie Meier. "We had toughness, energy and effort. The whole game we didn't cut and meet the ball. The whole game, there were so many live ball turnovers. It's one of the worst losses I've ever experienced."
Senior Morgan Stroman had a career day for the Canes, finishing the game with 28 points, besting her previous high of 23 points, and four steals. She also grabbed 13 rebounds, tying her season best, for her sixth double-double of the season.
"I just wanted to go out and play a good game," said Stroman.
North Carolina struck first in the opening seconds of the game with a layup by Xylina McDaniel. Krystal Saunders (seven points, two rebounds) answered for Miami with a three-pointer with 45 seconds elapsed in the first half.
The UNC defense was able to stifle the Canes in the first half, holding Miami without a basket for nearly four minutes.
Shawnice "Pepper" Wilson (seven points, 10 rebounds, four assists) hit a jumper to give Miami some momentum, and two free throws by Stefanie Yderstrom cut UNC's lead to two with 13:10 remaining in the first.
Yderstrom went 0-of-11 from the field in the first half, and finished the game with six points and three rebounds.
"We need a better game from Stef and she knows that," said Meier. "It was a decision making factor that attributed to her poor shooting tonight."
Two points was as close as the Canes would come in the first half, shooting only 21 percent from the field and falling behind by as many as 11 points. But Miami fought back to within six. The Tar Heels led 33-27 going into the half. Tierra Ruffin-Pratt led UNC with nine points in the first, and finished with 19 on the night.
Stroman scored Miami's final nine points of the first half, and led off the second with the first four points for the Canes.
The Canes started the second half with a 10-3 run, pulling to within one with 16:09 remaining. Stroman tied the score at 36 with 15:20 remaining and took the lead for the Canes on a free throw. From there, it became a battle for the lead, with Stroman and Yderstrom each taking turns to tie the score for the Canes in the final five minutes.
Suriya McGuire (eight points, three rebounds, two assists), the source of the last-second game-winning shot against Wake Forest, took the lead for the Hurricanes on a three-pointer with 1:13 remaining in the game.
Yderstrom sank a free throw with 00:39 left to play, and McGuire hit two as well with 00:32 remaining. This gave the Canes a five-point lead, their largest of the night.
But it wasn't meant to be. North Carolina battled back, with Danielle Butts winning it on a buzzer-beating jumper.
"I feel like the last minute we had it. I guess we weren't as composed as we should have been," said Meier. "We've got to learn from it. The back court has to step up, and ball security and free throws are going to be key. We want to respond in a very tough way."Miami next hits the road to take on No. 4 Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Thursday, with tip-off at 7 p.m.

"Meat Direct provides me with all the meat delivery, they are always happy to deliver. I have been dealing with them for 8 years now. I have really good contact with Vic. He used to be a farmer so he knows his meat, he knows his product. It is a small family business that is really hands-on. They strive for quality."
Laurent Loudeac, Executive Chef, Hippopotamus Restaurant www.museumhotel.co.nz
"Meat Direct is great. I usually have a special request, in the way I have packs packaged and the weight and it's no problem at all. They have even packed me up some in a vacuum chiller for us to take down south. If there is a query or a problem, they just do a quick ring or a reminder and it's no big deal".
Helen Bartlett, online customer (8 years)
I have been receiving meat for over eight years from Meat Direct and have always found the quality to the highest standard. I have recommended them to a lot of my fellow colleagues and friends and all have been very happy with the quality and service."
"The online ordering is a great time saver and I have always found Vic, Annette and Claire very helpful and accommodating. For my daughters 21st Vic delivered the steak on the day, beautifully sliced and with a big smile on his face, what more could you ask for!!"
Maureen Comis, online customer (8 years)
"The White House Restaurant is know for it's quality produce - that's why we use Meat Direct. Vic and his team always work to supply us with the best quality produce and will often go out of their way to make sure we get the best and on time. Relationships are important to me and it's great to work with Vic, he is always the face of Meat Direct - I can talk to him any time and he understands the needs of the business. The team at Meat Direct are friendly and always helpful and we look forward to working with them in the coming years - it's great to have that kind of relationship with a local business. Did you know that our Visa Wellington on a Plate award winning dish was named after Vic - he supplied teh rabbits for our "Vic's Rabbit Pie"."
Paul Hoather, Owner/Executive Chef The Whitehouse Restaurant www.whr.co.nz
"Over the last four years I have been delighted with the service provided by Meat Direct. The quality of the product and the level of service cannot be faulted. Often, I have rung Vic on the same day with an urgent request when dinner is looming. He never fails to provide exactly what we need. I would thoroughly recommend Meat Direct and will continue to use its services as my main supplier of meat and fish."
Karen Stevens, Insurance & Savings Ombudsman (online customer 8 years)
"Meat Direct is a fantastic way for families to enjoy "juicy tasty steak" (words of the 10 year old). It is a great way to enjoy great meat at great prices. It's so easy to use the website. Victor and staff are able to meet whatever order we place, whether it be by website or phone. They've been able to supply us with what we wanted when we needed it. Great work team."

Fraser Institute fires off a damp squib
One of the strangest sections of the Fraser Institute report is the one in which the authors attempt to throw dirt on the general concept of radiative forcing. Radiative forcing is nothing more than an application of the principle of conservation of energy, looking at the way a greenhouse gas alters the energy balance of a planet. The use of energy conservation arguments of this type has been standard practice in physics at least since the time of Fourier. We have heard certain vice presidents dismiss "Energy Conservation" as merely a matter of personal virtue, but we have never before heard people who purport to be scientists write off the whole utility of "Conservation of Energy." From what is written in the Fraser report, it is not even clear that the authors understand the first thing about how radiative transfer calculations are done. They criticize the radiative forcing concept because it "fails to take into account the lifetime of greenhouse gases" — as if we really needed to know anything more about CO2 in this regard than that it stays around for centuries to millennia. They say that radiative forcing "is computed by assuming a linear relationship between certain climatic forcing agents and particular averages of temperature data." Nonsense. It is computed using detailed calculations of absorption and emission of infrared radiation, based on laboratory measurements carried out with exquisite accuracy, and meticulously checked against real atmospheric observations.
Hockey-stick bashing and solar-explains-all advocacy are favorite activities of the denialist camp, so it is no surprise to see both themes amply represented in the Fraser Institute report. In neither case does the Fraser report break new ground in bad behavior. It's just more of the same old same old. On climate of the past millennium, the Fraser report misrepresents the recent National Research Council report , which concluded quite the opposite of what the Fraser report claims it concluded: The National Research Council, like the official SPM, affirms that recent warming really does appear anomalous in light of the past millennium. The Fraser report obscures this point by cleansing the recent period of warming from their graphs. The discussion of solar variability consists of a lot of vague talk about unexplored possibilities, while skirting the basic problem with solar variability as an explanation of recent warming: There is no observed trend in solar activity of a type that could explain recent warming, and if the problem were an unobserved trend in solar ultraviolet, it would make the stratosphere (where UV is absorbed by ozone) trend warmer relative to a constant-solar baseline. In reality, the stratosphere is cooling strongly, and at about the rate the models predict.
The basic approach taken by the Fraser Institute Report is to fling a lot of mud at the models and hope that at least some of it sticks. Of course, if one looks at enough details one is bound to find some areas where there is a mismatch between models and reality. Modellers do this all the time, as a way of improving the representation of physical processes. However, to highlight a few shortcomings without asking what their implications might be for climate sensitivity, or whether the mismatch might be due to data problems rather than model problems (as in the case of tropical lapse rate), gives a distorted picture of the state of the art. An examination of the model shortcomings in the light of the vast range of important things they get right leaves the fundamental premise of the cause of warming unchallenged, and to see why, one needs to turn to a balanced assessment of the science such as represented in the full IPCC report.

So I am working with a vulnerability and trying to get it to work. It is a client-side activeX vulnerability. So right now I have it in a .wsf file and am working on just getting it to work using cscript.exe before moving it over to Internet Explorer and dealing with its permanent DEP.
It is a SEH overwrite. Where I am at currently is I am able to pivot the stack to where my shellcode is so that ESP points to a JMP ESP and is followed by a NOP slide into my shellcode. I've watched in the debugger and can see that my shellcode begins to execute properly, but along the way I get an exception for an Access Violation because it manipulates one of the registers to a invalid memory location.
This particular application has many bad characters that I had to work around when generating the shellcode. Because of this, I don't have many encoding options that work, but the few that do work copy over correctly onto the stack.
Now, obviously I am not expecting specific help regarding why the particular shellcode or exploit I am working with isn't working because I haven't given you enough information to help me in that respect. However, if it is possible, I'd like maybe a few possibilities on why the shellcode wouldn't work. Bad characters have been accounted for. I generated the shellcode and encoded it with the latest Metasploit version. The shellcode begins to execute properly as I can see it executing in the debugger. I am executing it in a .wsf file using cscript.exe on a Windows XP SP3 box with no software DEP on that process.
I've really just been soaking up as much info as possible and I've made a ton of progress lately, but can't figure this out. Any help would be appreciated.

Frou Frou Suspension is a handmade glass lamp with a chrome and black painted metal. Also available in wall sconce and floor lamp versions. Three 60-watt, 120 volt E14 base B10 incandescent bulbs are required, but not included. Dimensions: 15.8W x 19.7H.
The roots of AVMazzega lie in the noble Venetian glassworking tradition; the firm was founded in 1946 by Gianni Bruno Mazzega in Murano, Italy. A land of furnaces, still known for its age old glassworking techniques.
Today, under the guide of son Andrea Mazzega, without betraying its orgins, AVMazzega has revived and reinterpreted the Murano Italian lighting heritage with passion and tenacity, inviting international designers to take on the alchemies of sands, oxides and powders on the Murano island.
The result is hand-worked glass lamps that walk the line of contemporary lighting and the Murano glass traditions.

When members of the Quilt A Holics quilting group found themselves looking for a new project, they chose to make a Quilt of Valor. Members made blocks on their own, then they put them together to form a quilt.
Since June 2015, the group has made five quilts.
These quilts were presented on Wednesday to Sun City residents and World War II veterans Fred Banks, Pat Cassetta, Donald Comstock, Jack Shumaker and Dollie Steele.

For The Lancaster News
Imagine setting out on a trip to visit family, and six months later having visited all four corners of the United States.
That's what happened to Sally Southerland of Lancaster and her husband, Jimmie, who completed the journey of over 22,000 miles in 2010. They set out on a trip to visit Jim's father in Key West, Fla. Riding together on a single motorcycle that Jim had rebuilt, they soon were on a grand adventure.
Whether you are rich or poor, we all share one task – a trip to the garbage dump, also known as a county convenience site in today's politically correct terms.
I have my very own, personal facility, which I frequently share with my neighbors and a few out of staters who prefer the dump to the shoulders of a county road.
I didn't always have my site. At first, it was just a tract of land covered in weeds. Then it was developed into a nice brick grammar school. You know, one of those "neighborhood schools."
Granny Summers' small New Cut house was built on a foundation of love that glowed every Christmas.
A widow since before my birth, she didn't have much, but she had Jesus, and to her, that was all that mattered. She passed on that sort of love – one that gives and not takes – to her children and 16 grandchildren. It molded us and continues to shape our lives.
So what do you get someone who doesn't need anything for Christmas?
One of my favorite Christmas memories is of my father and the last Christmas with him.
Every Christmas my brothers, sisters and I were allowed to choose one thing we wanted for Christmas. I wanted a Cinderella watch more than anything.
When Christmas Eve came we went to bed at 5 p.m. because we were told Santa would not come until we were asleep. I could not sleep because all I could think about was the beautiful Cinderella watch I was going to get. My older sister had to read to us to help us to go to sleep.
I have my share of Christmas memories, and these are ones I recall about my children, Caroline and Jackson, in their childhood.
When Jackson was a youngster, one Christmas Day I asked him about Christmas Eve night. I asked if he slept well with all the anticipation of the big day with Santa's visit to our home.
Jackson said he did wake up during the night and peered out his window.
To my surprise, I wondered aloud what he saw out on our lawn.
One of my favorite memories of Christmas was December 2002. Each year, when my family gets together on Christmas Eve, we have a small memorial service for our family members who have passed away. We read a special poem, say their names aloud and light candles for each member. It is very emotional and special.
"I'm just committed to living my life moment by moment according to the principles in God's word."
That simple but profound sentence, spoken by Lee Anne Genix at a Sunday school class in 1999, drew Ben Barry to his future wife. Freshly divorced, Ben was not looking for love that day but still felt drawn to her.
It's time for me to face facts, I'm the very definition of a television fanatic.
It's been that way since I was a child, growing up during the 1980s and 90s, watching all sorts of TV shows and made-for-TV movies with my parents.

Policies and Procedures
Over the past few years the Federal government has become
increasingly involved with protecting information and technology
from disclosure by universities, the release of which could hamper
U.S. economic vitality or contributes to the military personnel of
the U.S. international adversaries. Export laws and regulations
promulgated by the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S. Department
of State and the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets
Control are the bases for restricting use and access to this
information and technology. These laws impact research, foreign
travel and the transfer of technology and information to certain
countries. The laws also impose severe criminal and civil fines for
noncompliance. It is important that all persons involved in
sponsored research understand the regulations and implementation
This information sheet provides an overview of the Department of
Commerce's ITAR and EAR regulations, the Office of Foreign Assets
Control embargoes, principal investigator responsibilities,
examples for LU faculty and staff, penalties for non-compliance and
important links for further information.
Export Control is regulated by the Department of Commerce's
Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and by International
Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). These regulations control the
export of commodities, software, technical data, and information to
foreign countries.
Export commonly refers to the shipment or transmission of items,
services, or technical data out of the United States. However,
under EAR and ITAR export can also refer to the release of
technology or software technical data to a foreign national in the
United States (deemed export). Software or technical data is
considered released for export through:
EAR uses the regulations in the Commerce Control List maintained
by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) that includes items,
commodities, software, and technology subject to the authority of
BIS. ITAR regulations focus on the export of defense articles and
defense services and use a list of categories called the U.S.
Munitions List.
ITAR and EAR cover items of U.S. origin, such as:
ITAR and EAR issues usually do not pertain when your research
and the information you are working with:
An export license may be required before a controlled item or
material may be exported. A license could take 3-6 months to
acquire. For example, you cannot ship computers to restricted
countries without licenses. There are severe penalties for
In addition to ITAR and EAR, the Office of Foreign Assets
Control (OFAC) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury administers
and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on U.S. foreign
policy and national security goals against targeted foreign
countries, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, and
those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of weapons
of mass destruction. OFAC prohibits payments or providing anything
of value to sanctioned countries, nationals of some countries and
specified entities.
OFAC also prohibits travel to and other activities with
embargoed countries and entities. In general, OFAC "trumps"
export controls. The countries where U.S. policy is normally
to deny licenses is: Afghanistan, Belarus, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya,
North Korea, Syria, Vietnam and to countries where the U.S. has an
arms embargo (Burma, China, Haiti, Liberia, Rwanda, Somalia, Sudan,
Zaire) and in certain circumstances also Armenia and
Every principal investigator should ask him/herself the
following questions:
If you answer affirmatively to any of these questions,
then there is a possibility that export control does apply to your
project. You must consult with the Office of Sponsored Projects to
determine if export controls pertain to your project and if a
license is required.
Examples when export controls may apply to a LU employee:
Faculty members are criminally liable for violating the
ITAR/EAR/OFAC export controls or embargo's.

The CSDM Program supports research on the nature of molecular structure and its consequences for reactivity, intermolecular interactions, and dynamics. Chemical dynamics is defined to encompass reaction kinetics and mechanisms, intramolecular rearrangement or conformational changes, and changes induced via electromagnetic excitation. While the majority of projects supported by CSDM are experimental in nature, the Program is receptive to research focused on utilizing applied computational methods. However, the proposer should establish a high degree of relevance to the understanding of existing experimental data. The CSDM Program is concerned primarily with chemical phenomena in the gas and fluid phases, as well as chemical processes at gas-fluid, gas-solid, fluid-solid, and fluid-fluid interfaces. Proposals concerned with solid phase chemical processes are generally not supported by the Program. Proposals whose primary questions relate to phenomena arising from the properties of nanoscale materials or assemblies should be submitted to the Macromolecular, Supramolecular, and Nanochemistry Program (CHE/MSN). CSDM supports research projects that have strong implications for advancing the foundational physical models of chemical structure and dynamics. Projects focusing on devices are not supported by the Program.
The CSDM Program is divided into two sub-programs, CSDM-A and CSDM-B. The two programs will inevitably overlap in some instances. At coarse resolution, they are separable in terms of i) molecular complexity, ii) time scale, iii) strength of the interactions, and iv) links to potential applications. The following Program Descriptions are intended to guide the proposer to the most appropriate sub-program for his/her research. If additional guidance is required, Principal Investigators are encouraged to send brief electronic summaries of their research to CSDM Program Directors prior to formal proposal submission. After Programmatic review of the summaries, Principal Investigators will be given advice as to the appropriateness of the research for CSDM, and if appropriate, the best sub-program (CSDM-A or CSDM-B) for submission.
Research supported by this program generally seeks to develop and refine our quantitative understanding of molecular structure, reactivity and dynamics. The most successful proposals will be those which describe research that has the potential to change how we think about chemical structure and dynamics in general, as opposed to the behavior of a specific class of molecules or reactions. CSDM-A research often involves the development of experimental techniques that extend the limits of short time scales or spectral resolution. When the development of such capabilities is the primary focus (rather than the pursuit of specific new insights they may enable), the work is probably better suited to the Chemical Measurement and Imaging program. Examples of topics recently funded in CSDM-A include femtosecond time-resolved studies of solvent effects on reaction dynamics, photoelectron spectroscopy of gas phase ions and clusters, nonlinear vibrational spectroscopy of liquid-liquid interfaces, diffraction/scanning probe studies of molecular adsorbates on metal surfaces, and the molecular modeling of clathrate hydrate growth.

Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Arsène Wenger and his side are at home to Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday so, to find out more, tactical expert Michael Cox and local journalist Simon Johnson gave their pre-match views.
After winning the Champions League with a defensive-minded approach during Roberto Di Matteo's spell as caretaker manager, Chelsea are more positive since the Italian's permanent appointment.
The addition of attacking midfielders Oscar, Eden Hazard, Victor Moses and Marko Marin provide Di Matteo with plenty of options, and Saturday's fixture will be more eventful than the dull 0-0 at the Emirates in April.
Di Matteo changes the balance of the side by varying the trio that operates behind Fernando Torres. Generally, he prefers to use a 'shuttler' to provide energy and defensive understanding alongside two natural playmakers, playing either Ryan Bertrand on the left, or Ramires on the right.
The Chelsea manager has chosen different configurations. Away at QPR a fortnight ago, he used both Bertrand and Ramires on the flanks, but this offered little creativity and the game finished goalless. In last week's late win over Stoke, Di Matteo fielded three playmakers - Hazard, Mata and Oscar - for the first time, instructing them to rotate positions throughout. The problem was a lack of width, however, and Chelsea improved significantly when Moses - impressive at the Emirates with Wigan last season - was introduced to offer natural drive from the flank.
The departures of Michael Essien and Raul Meireles, combined with Di Matteo's tendency to play Ramires wide, means a duo of Frank Lampard and John Obi Mikel has become the first-choice midfield partnership. Mikel sits in deep positions and plays calm passes, while Lampard moves forward slightly, but is more conservative than at his peak.
In the 2-2 draw with Juventus, Chelsea were vulnerable to Claudio Marchisio's midfield runs past Mikel into goalscoring positions. Another lesson from the Juventus game was how effectively the Italian champions dragged the Chelsea centre backs out of position – they equalised when Mirko Vucinic moved deep, drew David Luiz up the pitch, and Fabio Quagliarella darted into the space to score.
It was a consistent tactic throughout the match, and something Juve confirmed they'd planned. Luiz has become a calmer defender, but as he showed against Stoke last weekend, he's still prone to the occasional rash tackle.
There's going to be a lot at stake with both teams still unbeaten. It's Chelsea's first genuine test in the Premier League and it will be interesting to see if they employ an attacking style against Arsenal.
Chelsea normally line up in a 4-2-3-1. They've become more attacking under Roberto Di Matteo, but in saying that, I think he could maybe be a bit more conservative on Saturday and deploy Ryan Bertrand in midfield. He played Juan Mata, Oscar and Eden Hazard against Stoke last week, but I can't see him including all three in the same team against Arsenal.
Chelsea are most dangerous behind the main striker. They've got the likes of Mata and Hazard and those two have formed a very good partnership very quickly - they play in a very clever way.
I think Mata is the best player at the club – he showed on Tuesday night against Wolves how he can pull the strings. He is a genuine No 10 and orchestrates proceedings.
I think Arsenal will be dangerous on the counter-attack. When Chelsea are caught in possession in the attacking third, they are very easy to attack because the central midfielders Frank Lampard and John Obi Mikel are not the quickest. With that in mind, Ramires could start in central midfield as he is more dynamic.
I think this could be Chelsea's reality check. Arsenal have got off to a really good start and I think they will win 2-0.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Abu Alemarat the star at Abu Dhabi
Last season's Abu Dhabi Triple Crown winner Abu Alemarat made a winning return to action on Sunday evening when landing the featured 2200m conditions race at the Capital's third meeting of the season.
Now trained by Englishman Rod Simpson, the four-year-old, who carries the colours of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, was sent to the front at the two furlong pole by Daragh O'Donohoe and never looked likely to be caught.
"The President's Cup will be top of his agenda now and he looks an exciting prospect.
"I am so grateful to His Highness and everyone involved at Al Asayl for this opportunity."
Elsewhere on the card there was a double for French pair Eric Lemartinel and Gerald Avranche who combined with Remal to win a 2200m handicap and Alama the 1600m maiden.
Jockey Avranche, based in Bahrain, said: "I like Abu Dhabi as it has always been lucky for me."
The blue and white silks of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum were carried to victory by Muntaliq in the other 2200m conditions race with trainer Gill Duffield and jockey Ted Durcan combining to land the spoils.
Tony Manuel saddled his first winner of the season when stable jockey Adrian Nicholls, also opening his seasonal tally, landed the concluding 2200m maiden with Dorfol De Brugere, while CS Patriarch doubled trainer Nizamuddin Fakhruddin's UAE tally.
A first winner for the handler last week, the horse followed up in the 1600m handicap with Chris Taylor in the saddle on both occasions.

|General Car Chat Lounge Discussion Forum relating to nonspecific Ford Focus models, car purchasing, auto industry news and any car talk.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|The Genisus, would def be a choice for a new car fro me right now. Im waiting to see what the aftermarket comes up with for the 2.5T.
|Yeah that's like an 8 hour drive... one way. I don't think I want to test drive the Genesis that bad, why no San Francisco? Maybe they already had it.
Something I also forgot to mention. I didnt even really think about it today, I just saw a car designed for performance and a great sound. But now that I'm thinking about it, the exhaust sound from the 3.8L V6 was awesome. When I think of the sound I don't think v6. It was deep and throaty, it wasn't light sounding, or high rev sounding, or Japanese v6 sounding like the 6's from Nissan. It reminded me of a v8 and I thought that was awesome. They really did a lot of things right with this car. The only thing I found wrong with it was that there is no head room in the back, you gotta be like 5.5 or less.
But who buys this kind of car to haul people in the back anyway
How did you hear about this event?
|Yeah they're decent cars, but i'd still rather get a Mustang GT over them. just my opinion though.
|They do offer reasonable price with alot of standard features, and the warranty.
Hyundai Genesis Coupe Drive Event
Today I went to a special event for the Hyundai Genesis Coupe. It was very similar to the ones Ford has had and GM had back in 2005 where they went around the US allowing customers to experience their products on a closed course. I was extremely impressed with the event. I wish the track was longer, but what can you do lol. Anyway, it was exclusively for the new Genesis Coupe and I was excited to test out this new performance coupe from Hyundai, especially after hearing so many great things about it and personally blogging about it for months. The event was small, but had plenty to offer, even more then I thought. First off, they had the Red Bull Drift Competition Genesis Race car that has been used for drifting, and that placed 1st in its 2wd class at this passed weekends Pikes Peak Hill Climb. So first thing you see when you walk into the tent is this and good job on their part for showing what the Genesis is really about. As an enthusiast I fully support and applaud them for marketing this car as a performance drivers car, and stepping in to include it in as many race programs as possible. I did not have a chance to register online so I wasnt sure if they'd let me in, but they had no problem at all and welcomed me and my mom...yes I went with my mom, and she drove too lol. She drives a Santa Fe after all. Anyway, waiting in line was very short. I tried out both the 2.0L Turbo and the 3.8L V6, unfortunately since I don't drive stick they only had a base model Turbo there without the track pack. So I wasnt able to see the full potential of the turbo but still for a base car, it still was a good ride and you could have plenty of fun in it. Turbo noise is basically no-resistant and I really didn't notice lag at all. In both models, the automatics shifted nicely and quickly, I didnt feel that it was horrible and slow to shift, especially in the turns. I tried out the sport mode manual shift as well, and it worked nicely. Its not as fast as some others out there, but it was not slow at all and I could tell it was tuned for performance. The 3.8L with the track pack was a different animal though, it was great, it was very quick and it handle much better then the 2.0L Turbo, although I'm sure if it was a track pack turbo it would of handled better because of the lighter front end. A track turbo was on site but it was a stick. BTW, traction control was turned off on all of the cars lol....Awesome. The 3.8L was a great ride and definitely something to look at if you weren't planning on modding.
The Track pack is truly a great deal, for the money I can't think of a better bargin. You get 4 pot brembo brakes, 19inch alloys with bridgestone pontenza's summer tires, limited slip diff, sport suspension, aero kit, HID headlights and a few other options. For 2000 dollars more on the 3.8 and 2500 on the 2.0L Turbo, that is one hell of a deal, especially since the first 3 things on the options list, brembos, suspension and lsd would probably cost that much if not more. Of course you get the other list of standard features that Hyundai puts on their products, especially safety. Traction control, ESC, ABS and brake assist all come standard. I almost forgot, the seats were awesome. Amazing sport seats from the factory, very supportive on both the bottom and the sides. No sliding at all.
Ok so the part of the event that I didnt expect. Only a select few get to go and I was lucky enough to be one of them. One of the instructors take you out and you can either go in the donut circle or around the track. No you don't get to drive but its something different that I never experienced before, especially at one of these driving events. Gm certainly didnt have this, both Ford and them had mph signs and told you not to go over a certain speed...not to mention non of them turned of traction control lol. So I was taken out in the 3.8L V6 Track and the instructor did a bunch of donuts. Maybe nothing too special, but at this event it was, and since it was my first donut ever. Instead of going back, he drove to the start of the track, which he wasnt suppose to do but I guess I got lucky. He lit up the tires and gunned it down the straight and then drifted around the rest of the track. It was awesome. I felt like I was in that commercial, only difference was that I was in a blue one instead of a yellow one. Which the blue color is awesome.
Again I have been very impressed with Hyundai and their progress over the years, and the Genesis Coupe and what they have done with it in such a short time just tops it off. The event was great, and more then I expected it to be. The staff were knowledgeable and very friendly. I was very happy the Hyundai stuck to what this car is about and didn't water down the experience by having a half ass track and telling you to slow down or anything. A few people actually spun out, and they were totally ok with that, but of course they were...they turned off the traction control lol. The donuts and the drifting just made the experience even better. I know a lot of people on this forum and out there amongst the general public still look at Hyundai as a bottom of the tier brand and not worth anyone's time. But as I've been saying for the past year, they have truly come along way, and I think they can hang with just about any company now, even the premium luxury brands. The Genesis lineup are great products and I would recommend both to anyone. Not to mention for as much fun as I had in the Genesis coupe...their 10 year/100,000 Mile warranty sounds pretty good.
Its a new Hyundai...go out and experience it yourself.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Since you are going to go the supercharger route, why not convert to Electronic Fuel Injection? It's much nicer, easier to adjust, gets better mileage and usually nets better results then a carb.
|Yes to both, very simple install. The only problem was the thermostat housing. I could not find one that fit nice under the blower that could be easily removed with the blower installed and still allowed for the radiator hose to be installed properly. There is a MR gasket one that the hose will have plenty of clearance but you have to remove the blower to get to the bolts for removal. I finally ended up buying an offset adapter which bolts to the manifold and moves the thermostat out away from the blower. This was the only real glitch I ran into. This is not really a huge problem as it actually would only be 4 bolts to move the blower out of the way to change the thermostat, I just wanted a better way.
|Artemis Entreri
That is the 142? Looks friken sweet. That silver thing down below is the lower supercharger pulley?
How exactly does that go on? Just sits in the crank pulley with a bolt going threw em both?
Here is a better picture of my installation
If you're going to pull the pistons out to re-ring and hoe the engine what sense does it make not to go ahead and put forged pistons in it? It is cheap insurance. At 4-5lbs of boost you can "probably" get by with cast pistons but, one bad tank of gas or missed tune up and you will be tearing the engine down again. You don't have to get crazy on the pistons for that boost range, just buy a decent set of forged pistons. You are 21 and chances are you will want to push it a bit and beat on it, do it right the first time. What if you decide you want to make a little more power or *** a little nitrous? If you have the forged pistons in there already you are good to go. If you were building a street rod (or T-bucket), that would be one thing but, in a heavier car detonation is more likely. Due to more load on the engine.
As far as timing, you can't accurately set it without running the engine. You do not want to run a blown engine retarded or it will run hot. Your timing curve is very important for best performance, blowers like a lot of initial timing I would start at 18* but, you need to limit your total timing, if you run cast pistons I would limit total to 28-30* max. With forged pistons you can go a little more
|It shouldnt detonate with out a load on it, so startup should not be a problem as long as you dial it in fairly quickly. Just remember always start all adjustments on the safe side and go from there. If you are concerned, once you put it together leave the blower belt off, start it time it the put the belt on. Yes it will run without the blower connected I have done it.
|Artemis Entreri
At initial start up, when im trying to tune the engine, how is the best way to avoid detonation? Retard the timing, or advance it? Is there anything else I can do to avoid detonation when I first put the engine in and am working out its kinks?
Found these pistons, nice CR, forged, not too expensive either.
I did exactly what you are talking about and I have driven the car for 2 seasons with zero issues. You need to be concerned about detonation, its what will destroy your pistons, timing and cooling is critical. I have seen a max of 6 lbs from my 142 with the stock pulleys. Usually it pushes around 3 to 4 on short city street pulls. Like you I also have vortec heads and when I purchased my blower Weiand was the only one making a blower intake for vortec. I think Dyer also has one now.
I would not recomend changin pistons in the car. Pull it have it cleaned and at least honed so the new rings will seat. You are flirting with problems trying to do it in the car, it will be almost impossible to keep things clean enough not to damage something. You wont really save anytime either as you will still need to take the top end off the engine and the pan. All that will really be left is the tranny bolts and motor mounts.
|Artemis Entreri
Heh, I bought the book, and have read most of it, minus some of the history parts int he first few chapters. It has given me pretty decent idea of whats going on in a blown engine.
As for why, mainly because at first, reading the different articles of bolting on smaller blowers to mostly stock engines and getting 450-500 hp out of it, I thought it would be an easy way to get big power (~500) and still having a nice driving car. Plus roots blowers are so friken kool looking, dont see many of them around here, especially on cars that are not full restos with a super crazy engine in them.
I started this, definantly under the impression from magazines and online reading that I could take a mild vortec 350 with low compression hyper pistons and drop a 1800$ supercharger on it, and then id have the power I wanted, which is very streetable, and relatively cheap considering the power id be getting.
Could I lower the PSI of the 142 setup? From what I understand it will give me something like 5 on a mild 350 setup.
Yes, You "NEED" forged pistons for anything over 4lbs of boost. Hyper pistons are cast pistons and have no place in a blown engine. It's your money you can pay now or pay more later, either way you will have to pay. Forged pistons are much stronger and can tolerate the higher heat that will be in the combustion chamber due to the added boost/power. With a cast piston if for some reason you ping/detonate the engine one time you will have a shattered piston, What do you think that rod and wrist pin will do to your bore/block? I'm all for getting the most for your money and taking calculated chances but, trying to run cast pistons in a blown engine is not a good idea.
How much power are you trying to make? Why do you want a blower? (for the look or to make power?). If it's for looks then just drop the boost down to 4psi or less and have at it. If you want to make power you need to get the parts to support it.
The best suggestion I have seen so far is to buy the book called Street Supercharging by SA Designs. Before you spend a dime on an engine part you need to buy this book and read up a bit. I always suggest this book to first time blower guys. I have a very old copy of the book that I read for years before I ever started playing with blowers. Once you read that book you will have the basic idea of what's going on and how things work. It does not have all the answers but, will give you the knowledge to ask questions and understand the answers.
I am in no way trying to discourage you, you'll love having a blown engine. You just need to build it right for the application. There's more to it than bolting on the blower, I know catalogs, web sites, ads, try to make it sound like ou just bolt on 250HP but, it doesn't work that way.
Yeah a 165 thermostat
aluminum radiator(dont forget a tranny cooler)
better oil(thicker)
high flow water pump preferably
high flow oil pump
deeper pan
|Artemis Entreri
I'll probably be running a clutch fan at first, but once the engine is in and tuned one of the first things I will be doing is definantly putting big ol electric fans in.
Other then that, how do I keep the engine cool?
Keep a low temp thermostat in?
|I would think the cross member would get in the way,Plus most of the time the oil pan wont come off without lifting the engine,because the oil pump mostly.if I had to run hypers Id try to keep the engine as cool as possible.
|Artemis Entreri
Yea, Ive seen quite a few articles using stock rot assemblies with blowers making in the 500hp range, think im going to stick with hypers at first, canalways upgrade to forged.
I havent taken a engine apart yet, but I can change the pistons without pulling the engine from my car right?
Empty the oil
Pull thepan
Take off main caps
Crank and rot assembly will come out then correct?
|I know people crazier than me that have got by with cast one but i'd never go less than hyperutectic

The search is on to find a suitable new home for the Hoberman Arch.
An iconic symbol of the 2002 Winter Olympics, when it occupied the Medals Plaza stage and provided a dramatic centerpiece for introductions of the day's medal-winning athletes, the arch has stood for the past 11 years just outside the southeast end of Rice-Eccles Stadium at the University of Utah.
But with the U. now in the Pac-12, stadium expansion is a certainty somewhere down the road. Adding 10,000 seats with a new south end-zone bowl means the arch will have to go. So university officials have launched informal discussions about finding a new home for the mechanical arch a kind of high-tech stage curtain which last opened on Feb. 24, 2002.
"The arch is obviously part of our Olympic heritage," said Gordon Wilson, who is leading the search as U. assistant vice president of auxiliary services. "We're looking at what would be a good home for it. We want to do the right thing with this."
So Wilson reached out to Colin Hilton, president and CEO of the Utah Olympic Legacy Foundation, which oversees a number of legacies of the 2002 Games, most notably Utah Olympic Park outside of Park City and the Utah Olympic Oval in Kearns.
Hilton broached the subject with officials in Salt Lake City and Park City, along with members of his foundation's board, initiating discussions in a process that so far has no deadline.
"There's no announcement on the horizon," Wilson said. "We're just laying the groundwork for the future, looking ahead to do the right thing and keep the Olympic spirit alive."
But finding a new location for the arch could be difficult.
Its size 36 feet high and 72 feet wide limits the options. So do restrictions aimed at protecting the valuable Olympic brand. The U.S. Olympic Committee will not allow the arch to be placed near companies that compete with Olympic sponsors, such as restaurant rivals of McDonald's.
That became a problem in the year after the Olympics when the Salt Lake Organizing Committee conducted a lengthy search for a good location for the arch. Thoughts of putting it at Gallivan Plaza or Pioneer Park were rejected for different reasons. SLOC eventually donated it to the U., which made it an integral part of Olympic Cauldron Park, with a visitors center, fountain, placards highlighting each of the Games' 17 days and the caldron itself.
The process produced much bickering within Salt Lake City Hall, with then-Mayor Rocky Anderson and several City Council members blaming one another for losing downtown's chance to hold on to a major Olympic symbol.
Current Mayor Ralph Becker's administration is interested in taking another look at having the arch on display downtown, said his spokesman, Art Raymond.
"We would happily entertain that idea and would love to be part of the discussion as far as a new home for the arch," he said, emphasizing that no formal effort is underway. As the process advances, Raymond added, the city will need more information about the costs associated with maintaining the structure.
"We'd look at those things closely, regardless of our emotional attachment to the arch," he said. "That would have to be part of our big-picture consideration. But, certainly, we would be amenable to being a host for relocation."
When the Park City Council discussed the issue June 6, council members heard it could cost $200,000 to move the arch to their city, a hub for many of the Games' outdoor events. But the arch was not part of Park City's Olympic experience, a fact that troubled some council members.
"The council was split on whether we want to take this on," said Park City Mayor Dana Williams. "We need a little more information about the logistics. Where in the world are we going to put it? What in the world are we going to do with it?"
Park City officials will spend the next few weeks looking for answers that will determine the city's level of interest, Williams added.
For Hilton, as head keeper of the Olympic legacy, a site in Salt Lake City would be the best choice. "It did reside in downtown. If there's a good [potential] home there, that might have a leg up on the others. But it's the university's decision. They own it."
Wilson said the U. plans to incorporate the caldron into designs for an expanded stadium and to keep the fountain. Artifacts in the visitors center already have been transported to the museum at Utah Olympic Park.
Twitter: @sltribmikeg Hoberman Arch
Utah's desert arches inspired Chuck Hoberman's design.
Built by Scenic Technologies of New Windsor, N.Y., the arch was unveiled at the Medals Plaza in downtown Salt Lake City on Jan. 25, 2001.
The semicircular aluminum structure is 36 feet tall, 72 feet wide, weighs 31,000 pounds and has 4,000 parts.
During the 2002 Games, the arch's backlit panels opened nightly at the Medals Plaza (a 20-second process) to show the Olympic logo, a burning caldron and the gold, silver and bronze medalists in the day's events.

Ezra Miller is Just Plain Beautiful – The Daily Swoon
You guys might recognize Ezra Miller from 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' — we're really taken by the beautiful bohemian style of this up and coming actor. And that hair. And those eyes.
Ezra Miller is making his way to the top right now with roles in the movie adaptation of the aforementioned best-selling novel and his part in last year's psychological maternal horror movie 'We Need to Talk About Kevin.'
But guys, we need to talk about Ezra. Like, right now. He's not your conventional hunk, but there's something so delicate and beautiful about him that we just can't stop staring at these photos.
Noted photographer Terry Richardson recently took some photos of Miller — with and without his shirt on — for a magazine shoot in his studio and published the outtakes to his Tumblr page, and for that, we thank him.
You know those sexy guys who have the whole package? The kind of guys where women envy their hair because it's so amazing? He's that guy. A little androgynous, a little weird — but totally interesting and kind of mysterious.
If you weren't aware of him before, it's time to get acquainted with him (and those insane hips!) through the photos below, all of which are courtesy of Richmond:


text: Yesterday, the Alabama House of Representatives passed House Bill 322 by a 90 to 2 vote. This Right to Hunt and Fish Constitutional Amendment has been sent to the Alabama Senate where it currently awaits scheduling of a committee hearing. Sponsored by state Representative Mark Tuggle (R-81), HB 322 would guarantee the right to hunt, fish and harvest wildlife in Alabama. HB 322 has been referred to the Senate Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry Committee.

The Story of Silliness
My story had an early beginning. I had a horrible slew of teachers growing up and one in particular, would also tell me to "Stop being silly". At home, I had the opposite reaction from my mother who would laugh and encourage my silly behaviour. I remember how much fun it was to make my mother giggle and to draw silly pictures. This always stuck with me for it was the confidence of my mom's love and encouragement that made me feel OK to make zany and funny pictures, and of course, eventually pursue a professional career. As a result, I wrote a book which I wanted to be a license for kid's to have fun and just be silly. This was my story.
What then began was a wonderful relationship with Scholastic. It was an instant click. Early on, working on the book was a slow project for me. I started and stopped (much to the shagrin of my publisher!) because I was working on very large solo shows every year. After much back and forth, and absolutely amazing editing from David Saylor and Adam Rau and art directing from Phil Falco, my book was completed. The three really understood my work and vision, which makes me still think today how lucky I am. It was a career highlight. Both David and Adam helped me tremendously with the early story drafts which were filled with holes - many holes! After wonderfully pointed questions concerning how a child would follow the story, I made revisions and many spreads changed and came to life. This Is Silly! was born.
After that, the art. The artwork was traditionally screen-printed. I'm talking 17 colours here! In some spreads, upwards of 11 screens were burned. The original art measures 10" x 20" (the same size as the book's spreads). After that, the AD Phil took over and man, there are art directors who get me and there are art directors who REALLY get me. Phil breathed life into my spreads with beautiful type treatments. He sent me text that I would screen print to keep the consistency.
My book was just released and I am getting really nice reviews. People are reacting well to it but my favourite comments are ones I hear from kid's. The book is, of course, dedicated to my mom.
Next week, on Wednesday, September 22nd, the official book launch party/signing will be in Toronto at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) from 6-9 pm. Everyone is invited! If you are in Toronto, I'd love to see you there! Everyone is welcome. I'll post photos after the event too.
Here is the book's web site and Facebook page.
Here are a few tight pencil sketches from the book. (I have changed the text from what you see below.)
After that, I ink it and introduce halftone where needed. From there, I can map out the colours which is the fun AND hard part!

'Q: Having appeared in a career-high 54 games last season, what is your goal heading into training camp? A: Nothing. I'm not really one for setting goals. I just want to go out and play. As far as coming into camp, I just want to be in shape. For me that's not really a goal. It's more mandatory than anything else. I would like to be anywhere under 230 and nine percent body fat.'

text: The first call of the day,very light wind and swirling around. That makes it very hard to set up in the right spots. We figured the wind would mostly be west something and set accordingly. We have voice activated 2ways so we tend to split up quite a ways. I'm two ridges to the east of the call and the boy is on the next ridge to the west looking down a BIG drainage with very short grass and a brushy stream bed in the bottom. The creek was probable 1/2 mile to the south of us and we where about 250 yards apart. The wind behaved OK for most of the set kind of cross wind. My boy was on a coyote sound kick as of late so he started with a Female invite then rushed in to a Pup in distress. About 5 minuets two coyotes just appeared 100 yards in front of him on a full out charge. Meanwhile , When I set down I said to my self bummer if a coyote come up the hill directly in front of me I wouldn't see it. And you know what I was absolutely right.My boy whispered something in my ear bud what he said I have no idea but very shortly His 223 sounded off and I could hear the tell tail THUD! I whirled around as fast as an old fat guy can and my scope settled right on a fleeing dog.Crap a runaway.I squeezed the trigger as the cross hairs pasted his shoulder. IN the scope I could see coyote doing several cartwheels and stop. WOW 250 yards on a coyote with his afterburners on, and only on 4 power COOL!. We called some more before getting up to collect the animals. I was unaware there was TWO on the ground. The monster male I shot had come in SO fast the boy had to shoot the female I didn't see and the male had come with in 50 yards of me and I didn't see him till he was over the next ridge. THATS why we split up and always try to have a second shooter. I'm willing to bet most callers including us never see a large part of the coyotes they call, there DAMN good at there job.They can come across one inch grass on a billiard table flats and not be seen!When we skinned him out we could see the entrance hole just behind the left shoulder and it traveled up his neck and lodged someplace in his head,DEAD coyote.On a side note he had NO fat on his body, in the middle of December and no fat is not what we have been seeing. The female was as fat as a pig and plenty of fat under the skin. The teeth looked good and no broken jaw and anything we could see. We sliced him open and looked at the stomach content. He had just feed on a deer he was stuffed with skin and hair, don't know what that was about... Maybe he thought he could just take every one else's food if he got hungry. BIG DOG!

"I am being sued to collect back child support. It's very uncomfortable for me to sit in an open courtroom containing mostly men and hear the judge talking about my ex-wife. When this happened, I felt that everyone in the courtroom was speculating as to how I as a woman could have been married to another woman in a state where same-sex marriage is not legal. I would much appreciate the chance to appear in a closed courtroom."
