Manila (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN) - Militant groups of the Philippines today criticised the decision of President Benigno Aquino III in choosing Maria Lourdes Sereno as the new Chief Justice.
In a Radyo Inquirer 990 AM report, Kilusang Mayo Uno, through its chairperson Elmer Labog, said having Sereno as Chief Justice is meant to protect the interests of the president's family in the Hacienda Luisita case.
Sereno, he explained, is the first appointee of Aquino in the high court who wrote a dissenting opinion regarding the decision to distribute the lands to Hacienda Luisita farmers.
Because of this, Labog added, it can be said the decision to have Sereno in the Supreme Court is self-serving for the president. He said it is meant to reverse the decision on Hacienda Luisita and to increase the compensation meant for the Cojuangco clan.
The group also gave the warning that Sereno will become a puppet of Aquino regarding policies that will counter the interests of labourers.
Because of this, Labog said it is now becoming clear the real mission of Aquino to impeach former Chief Justice Renato Corona is not to hold former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo accountable for the cases lodged against her but for the Cojuangco clan to maintain its control of Hacienda Luisita.
In a related development, a militant youth group challenged the new Chief Justice to start reforming the high court by being an independent body.
Anakbayan, through its National Capital Region Secretary Dianne Solmayor, said Serendo must now prove that she is not like others who can twist the arms of the law.
She said Sereno should prove that the Supreme Court under her won't be called "Aquino Supreme Court." She cautioned her not to be like her predecessor, Corona, whose reign was described "Arroyo Supreme Court."
Solmayor said they will be on guard regarding cases related to laborers, farmers and urban poor, particularly the Hacienda Luisita case, which will be a test for Sereno.
Instead of following Aquino's style, Anakbayan advised Sereno to follow the example made by the late Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse Robredo, who selflessly and wholeheartedly serve the Filipino people.

Solar Industry Sees Boom in Sunny Italy
Date: 17-Sep-07
Country: ITALY
Author: Svetlana Kovalyova
Italy is trying to catch up in a worldwide race to find
alternatives to the fossil fuels that arouse worries about
security of supply and planet-warming carbon emissions.
Earlier this year, the Italian government approved new
incentives to boost photovoltaic (PV) energy, which turns
sunlight into power. It ordered all new buildings to have solar
panels on roofs, aiming to exploit fully its abundant sunshine
-- about 30 percent more per square metre than in Germany.
"Italy must be more aggressive," said Winfried Hoffmann,
president of the European Photovoltaic Industry Association
(EPIA). "We in Germany have installed 3,000 megawatt (MW) over
several years, and there is much more sunshine in Italy."
One megawatt (MW) -- a million watts -- is enough
electricity to power about 1,000 homes.
As a result of its new incentives, Italy aims to boost
installed photovoltaic capacity to 3,000 MW by 2016, nearly 60
times more than last year.
Uwe Krueger, chief executive of Swiss technology group
Oerlikon, said interest in solar power was rising as improved
technology and high oil prices meant it was closer to being able
to compete with traditional fossil fuels.
"It gets economically viable in areas of the world where
there is a lot of sunshine: southern parts of the United States,
areas in Asia, the Middle East, Italy, Spain, Greece," he said.
"No wonder we experience a lot of demand coming specifically
from these areas. We are talking about billions and billions of
dollars of investment which are lined up there for solar parks."
Italian sector specialists expect costs of solar energy
generation to become competitive with traditional generation in
Italy in the next 10-15 years.
German solar company Conergy, which aims to expand in Italy,
expects this goal to be reached within the next 10 years, the
same timeframe as in Germany.
Southern Italy is where it will happen quickest, with solar
power output nearly double that of further north -- at 1,500
kilowatt hours per year per every KW of installed capacity
versus 900 KW hours a year.
To lure investors, Italy in February amended its solar
energy law to align it with a German incentive scheme called
"feed-in tariff", which guarantees above-market prices for
generating solar power.
"Without subsidies, solar is nowhere near conventional
utility energy rates," said analyst Paula Mints of Navigant
Under the revised Italian law, PV system operators would get
up to 0.49 euro per KW hour of produced power for 20 years.
That means operators and individuals can repay investments
within 8 to 12 years -- faster than the 12 to 16 years in
Germany -- and get attractive earnings over the entire
operations period, Conergy said.
Experts expect Italian households to buy into the idea of
cutting their electricity bills, among the highest in Europe,
and even profit from putting solar modules on the roofs. Some
companies offer elegant roof tiles with built-in solar panels.
"If investors get returns comparable to other large
infrastructure projects, you will see a very serious growth,"
said Conergy board member Christian Langen.
Italy's biggest power utility Enel said last month it would
invest 300 million euros (US$417 million) over three years to
build solar power installations with a total capacity of over 35
Some other experts, like Oerlikon Solar CEO Jeannine
Sargent, think the cost gap could close in Italy faster and
ahead of other countries that are less dependent on costly
imports of fossil fuels. Italy imports 80-90 percent of its oil
and gas.
The amended Italian law also scraps limits on annual
incentives to install PV modules and it boosts subsidies for
households to put solar panels on roofs and save energy.

Leading Zeros? (question rephrased)
Thanks for a couple of private msgs in response to my earlier post, but
my question is not how to format or display numbers with leading zeros.
Instead I'm asking, suppose I type
y = {001,002,003};
into a newly opened "virgin" instance of Mathematica, without defining
any special formats or rules before I do this.
Are the leading zeros that I type into this list captured and stored
somehow by Mathematica?
Or is the default response that they're ignored and lost forever? (As I
believe they are.)
P.S. -- I'm not trying to argue what Mathematica should do, either way.
I'm just trying to learn whether Mathematica in particular, or
mathematics or computer science generally, has any "official policies"
on capturing or storing leading zeros that a user may type in, or that
may be loaded into a database.
The question arises in part because there's a scientific journal that
identifies articles by "article numbers" rather than page numbers, with
the initial digit of the article number sometimes being zero and
sometimes non-zero, and the zero when it's present being mandatory (at
least for some purposes). This number, moreover, is treated for some
purposes as a numerical value, though it's obviously also in some ways a
"text label" rather than a numerical value.
Seem to me this is not a particularly wise design decision (although
it's the case for ZIP codes also), and I'm wondering if there's any
computer science thinking on it.]

The kids are always horrified by this, but sometimes we get rid of books. Usually there's a good reason. Sometimes there's a very, very good reason. I want to share with you some of the best that cross my desk on their way to the "free books" cart…
Crosbie, John S. Crosbie's Dictionary of Puns. New York: Harmony Books, 1977.
Let's start with the fact that there's a dictionary of puns. It's alphabetized by keyword, without attribution, such that each entry reads (for example):
fray A good seamstress is like a good poet: She knows how to turn a frays.
Thanks, pun dictionary! That was… helpful?
But what's really "awesome" about this book (by which I mean "gross") is its casual racism. The fourth paragraph of the introduction reads:
One recalls the story of Eleanor Roosevelt at a state dinner, discussing democracy with an Oriental ambassador. "And when did you last have an election?" she asked. "Before blekfast," he replied with some embarrassment.
Nothin' but class, John Crosbie. (And no, I did not "recall" that in no way apocryphal story.) Ew, on so many levels.
Because there's not enough "ew" in this post, I will close with a quote from the final page, an excerpt from Word Play: What Happens When People Talk, copyright 1973 by Peter Farb. It attempts to be "scholarly," characterizing a common two-part structure of obscene puns. For example:
The two-element structure is adaptable to a great variety of pun forms, such as… the Confucianism, which partakes of the traditional proverb with its pretensions of wisdom, thus adding an extra bite to the humor: "Confucius say, 'Seven days on honeymoon make one whole week.'"
Gosh, weren't the 70s fabulous? If this is the first page and the last page, I can only imagine what's in the middle. Off to the discard pile with you, Crosbie's!

Iranian prize winners put their necks on the line
The winners of this year's EU Sakharov prize for free speech have risked their safety by speaking out to MEPs on Wednesday (12 December).
The statements - by imprisoned Iranian human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh, and by Iranian film maker Jafar Panahi, who is under a six-year suspended sentence - were read out on their behalf in Strasbourg because Iran declined to let them collect the award in person.

Sotoudeh's letter, read by exiled Iranian lawyer and Nobel laureate, Shirin Ebadi, said that human rights are the reason behind all the Arab Spring revolutions, which began with a failed uprising in Iran in 2009.
She noted: "I'd like to send my warmest and sincerest greetings from Evin prison [in Tehran] ... This [Sakharov] decision is a great source of pride for me and encourages me to keep up my struggle with patience and calm."
She added: "The fight to protect human rights as a lawyer is a compelling one even if it leads to imprisonment."
Panahi's letter, read out by Greek film director Costa-Gavras, said: "The authorities of my country are becoming so intolerant that they cannot even stand independent journalists or film makers."
He noted that his sentence gave him a choice: "To run [from Iran] or to live with this sword of Damocles above my head."
But he added: "I chose to stay" because "I love my country dearly ... even though I can no longer take up my camera."
The statements in themselves constitute a risk for Sotoudeh and Panahi and for their families.
Sotoudeh noted that she recently went on hunger strike because of "judicial pressure" on her closest relatives designed to keep her quiet.
Panahi pointed out that an Iranian blogger - 35-year-old Sattar Beheshti - last month died in police custody for speaking out against the regime on a webpage which, according to the Sakharov winner, had just eight readers.
For his part, parliament President Martin Schulz paid tribute to "a man and a woman who are standing up for a better Iran."
He added that the prize "says to the regime: 'You are being watched'."
Dutch Liberal deputy Marietje Schaake, who nominated Sotuodeh and Panahi, said: "These winners are true symbols of the courage of the Iranian people."
Tarja Cronenberg, a Finnish green deputy who chairs the parliament's Iran delegation, noted: "The European Parliament should build a strong, frank, and open dialogue with Iran and its people."
The prize was handed over to two empty chairs.

If there's one glaring intrinsic weakness in the Arsenal squad that will undoubtedly cost the Gunners this season, it's their lack of depth in the final third.
Admittedly, most of the North London outfit's goals come from midfield – in fact, only 12 of their 43 Premier League goals haven't come from the middle of the park this season – but high-quality front men are the players who can make something out of nothing and turn defeats in to draws and draws into victories.
In-form Frenchman Olivier Giroud has been effectively leading the line this season, with nine goals and five assists in 20 Premier League starts.
But after that, the North London outfit's striking depth is disturbingly thin. The 27 year-old's only natural forward understudy is Nicklas Bendtner, who needs no introduction in regards to how average his goalscoring services are.
Just in case you're not acquainted with the stroppy Dane's reputation as a baseline-quality Premier League striker, it's worth noting he's scored just 24 times in 106 top flight appearances for Arsenal, with his North London stay spanning almost a decade this year.
Gunners fans will be quick to point out Lukas Podolski can operate up front, as he has done many times for Germany throughout his international career. But the winger-forward has lost a yard of pace since arriving at the Emirates in summer 2012 and has a tendency to remain fairly anonymous on the pitch unless he's finding the net with one of his trademark left-footed finishes. He's also only recently come back from injury, and has made just five Premier League appearances since the summer.
Arsenal's only other option – unless Arsene Wenger plans on giving youngster Yaya Sanogo an unexpected run in the first team – was Theo Walcott, but the England international will now miss the remainder of the campaign and the summer's World Cup after being stretchered off with an ACL injury against Tottenham.
Don't worry though Emirates faithful, Wenger has recently revealed he's considering playing Mesut Ozil up front, which will be a very… interesting… experiment.

Stopping power
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stopping power is a way to measure how powerful a firearm is. Stopping power is a measure of how quickly the gun kills an animal, for instance. Many large animals are not killed after being shot with an ordinary gun and can do damage before they die. Elephant guns, which have much more stopping power, are used to kill the large animal quickly.

Versailles to maintain tax rate
Versailles council has adopted an $848,900 budget for 2014.
The new spending plan, approved at a special meeting on Friday, represents a reduction of almost $11,000 in projected expenditures over the current year and holds the tax rate at 7 mills.
All councilors at the meeting voted for the budget. Councilors Gary Roscoe and Cheryl Flaherty were absent.
Council voted to retain retiring secretary Barb Warhold during January until her replacement is hired.
Warhold's last scheduled day was to be Dec. 31. Council will pay Warhold $30 an hour and has the option to retain her on a monthly basis, if need be.
Council president Linda Sheedy said Warhold will function as secretary and local services tax collector.
Earlier this month, council voted unanimously to fire Jennifer Richards, who was hired as secretary last year.
Sheedy said she contacted a temporary employment agency about having someone fill in until a new secretary was hired and was quoted a rate of $25 per hour with no guarantee that the person would have municipal experience.
Warhold will be responsible for training the new secretary when he or she is hired.
Applications for the position are being accepted through Jan. 3.

Alcohol Use, Abuse and Sleep
J. Todd Arnedt, Ph.D.
Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry & Neurology Director, Behavioral Sleep Medicine Program University of Michigan
Epidemiological studies show that about 15% of the population use alcoholic remedies to help them sleep on a regular basis. Why do people who have insomnia choose to turn to alcohol? J. Todd Arnedt, Ph.D. explains that those with insomnia perceive alcohol to be effective and beneficial as a sleep aide. He notes that more than 60% of the time people with insomnia choose alcohol, whereas those without any sleep condition choose alcohol only 20% of the time. In other words, Dr. Arnedt concludes that insomnia can lead to problem alcohol use. After a brief introduction to insomnia and alcoholism, Dr. Arnedt discusses the different stages of sleep: Non Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) and Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep. Dr. Arnedt highlights a study that administers alcohol to patients 30-60 minutes before bedtime. He shows that those who drank alcohol had reduced REM sleep, a faster Slow Wave Sleep (SWS), and took longer to even enter into REM than did the control group. Alcohol use tends to increase deep sleep at the beginning of the night and decrease REM sleep. The reverse is true in the second part of the night. Dr. Arnedt briefly touches on the circadian process, a regulatory mechanism of the sleep and wake cycle. He then focuses on the treatment options for insomnia: prescription medications with FDA approval, without FDA approval, non-prescription agents and cognitive-behavioral treatments. Trazodone and Gapabentin are two medications discussed in depth. Dr. Arnedt elaborates on Cognitive Behavioral Insomnia Therapy and why this is chosen over certain medications. He states that physicians are reluctant to prescribe medications to patients who have been found to have a history of abuse. He concludes his discussion by reinforcing the notion that more research is needed to improve sleep and reduce relapse.

This card came together from a lot of different resources. The garden bench and ivy is from "My Garden Hideaway" and "Harvest Hill Farm" sets created by Mary at SVGCuts. I used these sets ALL the time! The plant stand, hangers and some flowers are stamps from Art Impressions. The other flowers and dragonfly are from Rubber Stamp Tapestry.

Copenhagen Suborbitals is a suborbital space endeavor, based entirely on private donors, sponsors and part time specialists.
Our mission is to launch human beings into space on privately built rockets and spacecrafts.
The project is both open source and non-profit in order to inspire as many people as possible, and to involve relevant partners and their expertise.
We aim to show the world that human space flight can be different from the usual expensive and government controlled project.
We are working fulltime to develop a series of suborbital space vehicles – designed to pave the way for manned space flight on a micro size spacecraft.
The mission has a 100% peaceful purpose and is not in any way involved in carrying explosive, nuclear, biological and chemical payloads.
We intend to share all our technical information as much as possible, within the laws of EU-export control.

I love that glue sticks and long-reach staplers never falter when the power goes out. I love ambiguity and spaces in between. I love self sustainability, on macro and micro levels. I love art and queers and transformative justice and anti-oppression.

Edgar Adams and graduate Architecture student Brian Boivert presented the results of their yearlong research project at GrowSmart RI's Power of Place Summit on May 11, 2012. Working with GrowSmart RI, Statewide Planning and the RI Housing Network, they developed a 3 session program to highlight the critical role of growth center planning in Rhode Island's future development. Adams led off a session "Main Street Districts and Growth Centers 101" with an introduction to national trends and models in growth management planning. This was followed by Boisvert's presentation of their research to use emerging GIS technologies to evaluate the performance of existing development and the potential of undeveloped land according to the goals and objectives of Land Use 2025, the state's Land Use Guide Plan. The session was concluded by a presentation by Noelle MacKay, Commissioner of Vermont's Department of Housing and Community Affairs and a discussion session led by panel moderator Kevin Flynn, Associate Director of the Rhode Island Planning Division.
This research was supported by a 2011/12 grant from the Roger Williams University Foundation to Support Scholarship and Teaching, and will be followed by a report to the Department of Statewide Planning that is currently undertaking revisions to Land Use 2025.

Dan Gilbert blasts L.A. Clippers owner
(Cleveland) - Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert is sounding off regarding the controversial remarks attributed to one of his NBA colleagues. In a statement released Monday night by The Cavaliers organization, Gilbert said:
"It is shocking that anyone could hold the kind of offensive and feeble minded views that are being attributed allegedly to the Clippers owner, Donald Sterling. The diverse staff members of the Cleveland Cavaliers franchise are unified in encouraging Commissioner Silver and the NBA to respond with swift and appropriate action consistent with a strong zero tolerance approach to this type of reprehensible behavior."

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
This is a civil rights and personal injury case. Attorney wants 40-50% contingecy plus repayment of all his out of pocket expenses which are none to this point
Contingency fees vary. For example, my firm in Pennsyvlania only deducts a 29% fee and no costs, as we find those high fees morally reprehensible. A personal should not get hurt twice....once in the accident and a second time by a huge lawyer fee. You can see contingency fees listed on each lawyer's Avvo profile. Good luck.
Licensed in PA & NJ. 29% Contingency Fee. Phone: 215-510-6755 www.InjuryLawyerPhiladelphia.comAsk a similar question
You asked for an opinion on hourly fees and no attorney answered your question because these cases are typically handled on a contingency fee basis. You should contact several lawyers in Las Vegas to see what the prevailing rate is. Regardless of what Mr. Lassen claims to charge, such fees may not be the prevailing rate is YOUR area. An out of state attorney cannot comment on what is reasonable in another state.
The civil rights portion is more specialized so that is probably why the fee is so high. However, for a personal injury case, 40% is high in my opinion. You may want to have another attorney handle the personal injury portion so you will recover more money. I would be happy to provide you with a free case evaluation and lower fee quote. Please send me a private message.
The above is general information only and is not legal advice. The information provided does not form an attorney-client relationship, and should not be relied upon to take or refrain from taking any action. I am not your attorney until we sign a retainer agreement. You should seek the advice of competent counsel before taking any action related to your inquiry.Ask a similar question
Our office rate is 33 1/3% in pre-litigation cases and 40% in litigation cases plus costs. With that said we lower that fee all the time so that we never receive higher compensation than our clients. So our fee agreement may say 40% but in the end the fee may only be 20-30% depending on the medical bills and the amount of total settlement.Ask a similar question
Without knowing more about the case, it is hard to say what a fair fee is. I began my career as an associate in a firm where the contingency fee was 1/3 if settled before suit was filed; 40% if suit was filed, 45% if it got close to trial (pre-trial conference) and 50% if there was an appeal. I then moved on as an associate to a firm where the fee was one third for traffic accident cases and 40% for everything else.
Now that I have my own firm I charge 25% (regardless of how long it takes or if suit has to be filed or if the case goes to trial) for cases in which there is police report putting all blame on the other side and one third for other cases.
However, as Mr. Palmer mentioned, some personal injury lawyers, he and I included, don't want to take more than the client nets and thus we often voluntarily reduce our fees. However, other lawyers won't do this. So that is a big difference that may not be apparent from the retainer agreement.
You also asked about an hourly rate. Most personal injury work is not done on an hourly rate. But, if the Court is awarding fees in a civil rights case than the hourly rate become relevant. There is no one "going hourly rate" in Las Vegas.Ask a similar question

Konami hasn't been barking about Silent Hill: Book of Memories too loudly, so it's no surprise that the new release date hit the Internet with such a whimper. The top-down PS Vita horror is now set to make its devilish debut on October 16, and you can prepare for its horrors with the launch trailer after the jump.
Opinions are split on the merit of taking Silent Hill in a top-down, multiplayer direction, but don't let that stop you from checking out the E3 2012 trailer for Silent Hill: Book of Memories.
Konami was planning to assault March with a triple whammy of Silent Hill titles in the form of Silent Hill: Downpour, Silent Hill HD Collection, and Silent Hill: Book of Memories. According to listings on Amazon and GameFly, the latter, a PlayStation Vita exclusive, has been pushed back to May 31. Read on for more.
So, the Silent Hill series will be making its PlayStation Vita debut next year, but if you haven't been following Silent Hill: Book of Memories the look may surprise you. See for yourself with some fresh screenshots after the jump.
Love Silent Hill? You're in luck, as 2012 will officially be the year three different Silent Hill titles see release. Find out which games will be invading your nightmares after the jump!

Whitenack Hurls Gem, Shuts Down Hillcats, 5-0
By Darren Headrick / Carolina Mudcats | August 30, 2013 7:56 PM ET
Lynchburg, Va. - Robert Whitenack allowed one hit over six innings as the Carolina Mudcats blanked the Lynchburg Hillcats 5-0 on Friday night at Calvin Falwell Field. The Mudcats (34-33, 56-81) took the series by winning three of four. The Hillcats fall to 33-34 in the second half and 69-67 overall.
Whitenack (1-3) walked three and struck out five with the only hit being an infield single to the shortstop. Josh Martin pitched the final three frames for his second save. He allowed two hits and fanned one.
Jarett Miller (9-8) absorbed the loss for the Hillcats despite a strong beginning. The Mudcats scored four off the right-hander in the seventh to blur his final line. Overall, Miller allowed five runs, four earned, on seven hits. He walked one and struck out five.
Todd Hankins and Tony Wolters combined for the first run in the third. Hankins drew a leadoff walk and stole second. A flyout to right by Bryson Myles advanced Hankins to third. Wolters hit a bounder to first and Hankins scored on the groundout.
Leading 1-0 in the seventh, the Mudcats broke the game open with four runs. Wolters came through for Carolina again as he blooped a two-out single to left that scored two. A fielding error by Matt Weaver allowed another run and Wolters moved to second.
Joey Wendle followed with a high chop up the middle. Second baseman Emerson Landoni made a play on the hop, but his throw was wild past first. Wolters scored the final tally on the error.
The Mudcats begin their final series of the season in Myrtle Beach on Saturday night at 7:05 p.m. Right-hander Cole Cook is scheduled to start against left-hander Luis Parra. Carolina opens the 2014 season with a home game against Potomac Nationals on Thursday, April 14, 2014.

Diet Coke Unveils Skinny Vending Machine [Video]
The Slender Vender is able to be slipped into new kinds of locations.
Diet Coke wanted to find a new and unexpected way to advertise the "fit and elegant" beverage. So they built the 'Slender Vender': a skinny vending machine that allows bottles of the soda with no sugar or calories to be slipped into new kinds of locations.
The company claims that Diet Coke fits beautifully into one's lifestyle, and so does this Slender Vender. The thinnest vending machine in the world fits where others can't and is seen in the video showing up in unexpected places.
You can see how people reacted when they discovered the machine on a bridge, in a hair salon, outside a cafe, in a bowling alley, on a cycle path, and even between treadmills at the gym. Check it out below:

Colicchio judged as top U.S. chef, NYC eateries win
By Richard Leong
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Tom Colicchio, known for his innovative American cuisine and the main judge of a wildly popular U.S. cooking show, was named outstanding U.S. chef by the James Beard Foundation on Monday.
Colicchio beat out this year's other finalists Jose Andres, Suzanne Goin, Gary Danko and Charles Phan for the most prestigious chef award in the United States.
Colicchio's win punctuated a strong showing for New York City's dining scene where the James Beard awards were handed out Monday evening.
Michelin three-star restaurant Daniel picked up the award for best U.S. eatery, while Marea nabbed the prize as best new U.S. restaurant.
"New York still wants fine dining, but they want 'truffles in blue jeans,'" said Michael White, executive chef at Marea, referring to the trend of high-end food in a casual setting.
Keith McNally, who owns some of the most coveted and hard-to-get dining spots in New York, was named outstanding restaurateur.
Like McNally, Colicchio is a culinary veteran.
The 47-year-old runs a number of restaurants around the country including his flagship restaurant Craft in New York and Colicchio & Son which opened across town in March. Continued...

Hi, I work with a rescue and am often surprised at what puppies look like when they grow up. It is difficult to tell for sure just by looking at a puppy. we've had fox terrier mixed puppies (Mom was fox terrier) grow up looking like shepherd mixes! When you stay Staff - there's bull staffordshire terrier and American Staffordshire terrier. I think your pup looks closest to a bull staffie because it appears to be fairly petite - at least at this point. Very cute. HOWEVER, from seeing lots of pups grow up in the past two years - half prick ears sometimes mature into upright prick ears and muzzles tend to grow longer as the puppy matures. So, again, it's pretty early to tell just by looking.

Miners Drop Another Heartbreaker
Oct. 27, 2007
Terrance Ganeway scored on a one-yard touchdown run with 7:01 remaining in the game, giving Houston a 34-31 victory over UTEP in a key Conference USA game on Saturday night in the Sun Bowl.
"It's pretty disappointing," UTEP coach Mike Price said. "We felt like we had a chance to win the game. We felt like we were ready. We played pretty well, just not good enough to win."
The Cougars (5-3, 4-1 C-USA) piled up 520 yards of offense to gain the upper hand in C-USA's Western Division race. UTEP (4-4, 2-2 C-USA) slipped a game and half behind Houston with its second straight three-point loss at home.
UTEP was unable to pick up a first down on its last two offensive series. The Miners started their final drive with 2:06 left, but Trevor Vittatoe's sideline pass to Lorne Sam on fourth down and a yard to go fell incomplete.
"We didn't execute well on the last series like we have in the past," Price said. "It surprised me that we didn't get into field goal range and give Jose Martinez a chance to tie it up.
"The fourth down play was a good play. It was a play that has worked well over the last two or three games," Price added. "Guys were open. Trevor just threw to a guy on the other side who wasn't open. He still got the ball to Lorne, but it would have been a miraculous catch."
The Miners scored back-to-back touchdowns to start the second quarter in building their largest lead of the night, 17-7. Sam threw a nine-yard touchdown pass to Jamar Hunt, and Vittatoe connected with Joe West for a 34-yard score.
But the Cougars responded with 13 consecutive points of their own, capped by a pair of short by field goals by T.J. Lawrence, to go ahead 20-17 early in the third quarter.
UTEP regained the lead, 24-20, on a 19-yard pass from Vittatoe to Jeff Moturi with 3:02 remaining in the third period.
Case Keenum's five-yard TD pass to Perry McDaniel with 12:22 to go in the game put Houston back in front, 27-24. But UTEP answered with a seven-play, 80-yard drive, ending with Vittatoe's 35-yard TD pass to Moturi, to forge a 31-27 cushion with 8:57 left.
Marcus Thomas rushed 28 times for 178 yards for his school-record fifth straight 100-yard game to lead UTEP. Vittatoe had a tough night, completing only eight of 23 pass attempts for 134 yards, but he did toss three TD passes. Moturi was the Miners' leading receiver with four catches for 94 yards, extending his streak of games with a touchdown catch to seven.
Keenum hurt the Miners with his passing (13-for-20, 116 yards) and running (10 carries for 72 yards). Anthony Alridge ran for 204 yards on 27 attempts for the Cougars, who gained 306 yards on the ground.
Houston played a turnover-free game after beginning the night with 21 giveaways in seven contests.
The Miners may need a miracle to get back in the Western Division title chase, but a bowl bid is still in reach.
"This kind of breaks your heart," Price said. "But we still have a chance to have a good year. We've been in every game. We've challenged everyone we've played."
UTEP will be on the road for three of its last four games, beginning on Saturday (Nov. 3) at Rice. Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m. MST. The game will not be televised.

I posted my thoughts on page 1 of this thread but will add a few here, if you folks don't mind.
You best friend in taking any decision is to exercise the clients. In other words, go to a range and shoot them. Preferably with a friend who owns guns which you are considering. Next best thing is renting at the range if that is an option.
We can look at the history and reputation of given defensive handguns and glean a measure of factual data as to the trustworthiness of your selection. And this is a very good thing to do. The next thing is to examine the guns very carefully, looking at things that many folks overlook or don't thing about when making a purchase.
How hard is it to "rack" the slide? How hard is it to release the slide stop? How hard is it to load the magazines (compare the Glock to the M&P in 9mm and you'll know what I mean with this one)? What about the shape of the trigger guard? How hard is it to detail strip? Are replacement parts readily available and can you install them yourself? What is the shape, width, and angle of the feed ramp? Is the magazine release easy to use yet secure from accidental activation? Does the bore axis height work for you? Are the sights good (can you obtain a sight acquisition and a sight picture reasonably quick)? How hard is the gun going to be to clean?
There are a host of other questions and points to consider when deciding upon a defensive firearm, but all of this pales when weighed against the one primary and major concern: does it go bang when it is suppose to? The loudest sound in the world in an extreme encounter is "click". Reliability is paramount and supersedes all other considerations.

Secondary Drain (Relief Drain) Clogged
What is the correct terminology for the secondary drain (relief drain at the top of the basin) in a bathroom sink?
Now, any suggestions for unclogging this in a Kohler sink? I am replacing the faucett in a sink and just discovered that the entire area for this secondary drain is clogged with some kind of dry crusty substance, almost like rust. In checking another sink just like it, I found that filling the basin with water all the way to such a drain port shows that it is also clogged. As long as nobody ever, ever leaves the water running in a closed sink, I guess that this won't be a problem. HA, but you don't know my family. If there is an easy fix while I have easy access to the drain, I might as well take care of the matter.
Any suggestions?
Hating plumbing because I accidently bump my head too often,
Dr. Z.
I think it is called "the overflow."
I suggest disassembling the drain pipe from the bottom of the basin and finding the channel that leads up to the opening at the top of the basin.
Carefully use a coat hanger or similar stiff wire to scrape the channel clean on the inside, but do not force the wire in or around bends.
I would also suggest running muriatic acid down the channel (and catching it and running it through several times) except you need to keep that from splashing around or spilling on the floor or inside the vanity. Also not getting it on the surface of the basin or on metal or Formica or marble surfaces.
Since I posted my question, I have indeed unclogged the overflow drain. it appears to be just a super heavy buildup of rust. I can chip away allot of it, but as you guessed, there is some that is virtually impossible to get to physically.
I would like to avoid the muriatic acid suggestion. No matter how careful I am, past hazmat experience has taught me that I will spill some of it and ruin the finish of the surroundings. Is there a chemical that eats away rust and is more user friendly? Even a very slow acting one? One that is safe for the cheap plastic drain that i am about to install? Now that the overflow sink channel is clear, all I am really doing is just general maintenance for the future.
Dr. Z.
Is your sink a porcelain coated steel or a cast iron?
I am going to guess iron, but can check tomorrow if it is crucial...

Aquatic Biology focuses on aquatic organisms and their relationships with their environments. Our faculty works in streams, rivers, springs, cave systems, lakes, ponds, reservoirs, and wetlands. Their research uses the facilities at the Freeman Aquatic Building, the nearby Federal Fish Hatchery, and natural aquatic ecosystems from the swamps of east Texas to the Rio Grande River and the springs of the Trans Pecos.
Study organisms include fish and benthic invertebrates, frogs and salamanders, turtles, snakes, aquatic mammals, birds, and their parasites. The Master's Degree in Aquatic Biology prepares students for a wide range of natural resource careers.
The Edwards Aquifer Research and Data Center (EARDC) was established in 1979 by special funding for Southwest Texas State University to provide a public service in the study, understanding and use of the Edwards Aquifer. The Aquifer is a unique, world-renowned karst aquifer which is made up of porous, permeable limestone. Springs from the Aquifer feed the Comal and San Marcos Rivers which provide base flow in the Guadalupe River system and support the habitat for at least four endangered species. EARDC takes an active role in water quality monitoring and education issues. We conduct basic and applied research related to the Aquifer in the area of aquatic biology, geochemistry, and hydrogeology.

Could Leona Lewis' fourth album be make or break for future with Sony?
Impending fourth album set to be a make or break recordRead more on Leona Lewis Listen to Leona Lewis on Spotify
Leona Lewis could be facing an uncertain future with her record label following poor sales, a source has revealed.
Leona's third album 'Glassheart' was released in October 12, but failed to repeat the successes of her first two albums. Despite hitting number three in the UK album chart, it slipped down the rankings and its final single, 'Lovebird,' failed to enter the UK top 200.
A label insider has now revealed that Leona's as-yet-untitled fourth studio album is going to be a "make or break record" for the singer.
"There's no denying Leona's talent, but 'Glassheart' sales were well below what was expected. It could be the delays [she experienced], it could be down to material. But her fourth album is going to be key for her future," they admitted.
"We'll be going all out to position her where she should be: at the top of the charts again."
A Syco spokesperson previously said: "Leona Lewis is one of the UK's most successful artists, one of a few that have enjoyed huge global success in recent year selling more then 20 million records worldwide.
"Leona will begin the recording of her fourth album imminently to be released later this year. She remains a key priority artist for Syco and for Sony Music Worldwide."

Alex Tyus Returns!
Forward Alex Tyus now says he wants to stay on the Gator basketball team -- changing his mind about 10 days after announcing plans to transfer.
The 6-foot-8 sophomore from St. Louis was Florida's second-leading scorer at 13 points per game and leading rebounder at six per game last season. Tyus played out of position all year, having to line up at center on an undersized team, and had decided to transfer because he wanted to play small forward. Coach Billy Donovan welcomed Tyus back. Tyus decision to stay gives Florida's frontcourt a boost eading into next season. Had Tyus transferred, the Gators would have had little experience behind center Kenny Kadji and forwards Vernon Macklin, Dan Werner, Adam Allen and Chandler Parsons. Now, Donovan will have five big men: Tyus, Kadji, Macklin, Eloy
Vargas and incoming freshman Erik Murphy.

A probiotic that prevents obesity could be on the horizon.
Bacteria that produce a therapeutic compound in the gut inhibit weight gain, insulin resistance and other adverse effects of a high-fat diet in mice, Vanderbilt University investigators have discovered.
"Of course it's hard to speculate from mouse to human," said senior investigator Sean Davies, Ph.D., assistant professor of Pharmacology. "But essentially, we've prevented most of the negative consequences of obesity in mice, even though they're eating a high-fat diet."

Suspension, Brakes and Tires Discussion, Change Brake Pads Only??? in Item Specific Cadillac Discussion; So I really still believe that I purchased from a reputable dealer! We had our new to us 2005 SRX ...

Change Brake Pads Only???
So I really still believe that I purchased from a reputable dealer! We had our new to us 2005 SRX N* AWD fully loaded out and the local mechanic stopped by and looked it over. He questioned me about the brakes and asked if the dealership did brake work, I was told that they had to do the brakes all around and the rear shocks ( Mag Ride Control suspension equipped) for the safety on it. He said he did see the new shocks, the brake pads were changed but the rotors were not machined.
They are grooved 2 more than the others ( haven't measured ), do I need to be concerned? Every time I have changed shoes or pads I was always told we had to machine rotors or drums, or just put new ones on.
I'm inclined to throw on 4 new rotors... Should I bug the dealer?
Should they have machined at least the 2 worst ones?
I want to continue our currently good relationship but don't want them to think they got one over on me. After all this is probably the most important safety feature of any car/truck/ SUV...
Thanks in advance and I guess this isn't specific to an SRX!
Re: Change Brake Pads Only???
There are specifications for allowable grooves in the rotors; I believe it is 60 thousandths of an inch. Also, a recut is not absolutely required every time (especially if there is not enough rotor material for a recut) though I would think the dealer would step-up and do the right thing. He may however only did a nondirectional sanding and put on the new pads, which is acceptable but not ideal.
Re: Change Brake Pads Only???
Unless they were really grooved, you're fine. Rotors and brakes today are much better than decades ago. You used to machine the rotors on either every pad change or every other.
I got about 50k miles on my V's front rotors. That was with a couple sets of pads and many track days in which I switch to race pads. The rotors were never machined and they were fine.
Re: Change Brake Pads Only???
I agree with all of the above....rotors are one of those parts you can check to see if they need to be replaced or machined by measuring. Similar to bigjimsho, I change my pads when they are down to about 30%, and run specific pads when I know I am going to be hammering it. In short on the seville in the last few years I have used at least 4 sets of pads, but have not done anything with the rotors and they are still within spec.
Get the measurements for your rotors and what the minimum acceptable is, make your decisions based on that.
Re: Change Brake Pads Only???
I remember there was a Factory advisory sent to dealers recommending that the "Rotors NOT TO BE TURNED/MACHINED," if there has been no rotor scarring and the rotor appears true (unwarped). The reason for this came from frequent complaints from owners of Cadillacs that constantly complained of noise while breaking after brake service.
I recommend you call and ask your Service Manager for the bulletin #.
Re: Change Brake Pads Only???
On a side note, rotors will never look the same as they do new. They will always look like they have dozens of little grooves. But unless you can feel a ridge that has a pronounced edge, those little grooves don't reduce effectiveness of the rotor...

Re: Change Brake Pads Only???
ditto on what the others have said, you'll be fine
Re: Change Brake Pads Only???
I would mirror what everyone is saying and add that turning them if they don't need it just wastes rotor material.
Those are softer rotors and they will wear thin just from normal use. Machining them unnecessarily will cause them to need replacement before their time.
They aren't supposed to look pretty, they are supposed to stop the car.
They should be measured to be sure they are not too thin already, if they are then they should certainly be replaced.
Re: Change Brake Pads Only???
thanks for the feedback and insight. The dealer has agreed to turn the rotors if I want, no questions. I did hear brake squeal or so I thought, it was the backer plate rubbing on the front passenger side rotor, I fixed . Sounds like a non issue as I have good pedal, no vibration, no pulling... Think I'll be reasonable and forgo them turning the rotors. never know when i might need something, a favor, someday.
while I'm here, the rear inboard axle seals are sweating, not a dripping leak and I plan on just keeping an eye on this for a few months. Any of you seen this as a starting point for an up coming leak... failure in a short time period? I'm under GMPP for 24 months.
Thanks Pat.
Just so you know Jake is our 5yr old Golden Retriever who owns the back.
Re: Change Brake Pads Only???
Oh yes they were measured and they are still good (1.08 if I remember right, the min allowable is 0.96)
I won't have them machined.
Re: Change Brake Pads Only???
If it isn't making drips on something they won't fix it.
Sometimes those seals tend to do that and trying to change them can just make it worse.
I'd just keep an eye on it.

Thats right, out of 4 boxes of Winchester AA's 20g , i had two shells that didn't work. All the others found their targets tonight in my skeet league.
I shot a 75 strait and on the last round going for a 100 i dropped two targets, both on High house 4.
It felt good tonight, hadn't shot that well in a while. The clays looked like trash can lids to me tonight.
My best is a 99/100 also shooting a 75 strait and missing one high 5.
just felt like braggin.

This is great, thanks guys! I've been looking for a less-expensive igniter for my pellet BBQ smoker project.
Quick question. I'm trying to understand Auto vs. Manual mode with NiCd/NiMh batteries. Does manual mode mean that I "manually" set the charge rate (amps) and the charger automatically shuts off when the battery is full or does it mean that I set the charge rate and it runs until I shut it off?
It seems like in auto mode the charger sets the charge rate, but I chose the max current.
Is this correct?
I would also be interested in a 20x4 version!
No public wish lists :(

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Recycle, reuse, reupholster is your mantra, especially since you became a homeowner. Rather than making another frantic excursion to the Home Depot, try exploring Habitat for Humanity Re-Store's labyrinth of nesting supplies. It is there, in that glorious warehouse of potential, that you'll find oddly shaped doors, avocado-colored sinks, and pile upon pile of tile — all waiting patiently for the right fixer-upper to discover their inner beauty.
With a bit of creativity and many coats of paint, you'll triumphantly solve home-repair dilemmas on a pitiable budget, with merchandise marked down 80 percent from retail stores. Consider it your way to get ahead in the housing race: When the housing market levels back out, you'll want yours to be ready to sell first — avoiding that apocalyptic traffic jam of (former) Floridians gunning it to North Carolina.
In better economic times, you shopped differently. You felt quality transcended quantity. Nowhere else was this more apparent than at your local adult video store. It was there, in that high-ceilinged, well-lit den of sin that you slapped wads of dead presidents on the counter in exchange for Debbie's misadventures in Texas, Marilyn Chambers' cultish crossover, and, of course, the musing romps of Bimbo Cheerleaders From Outer Space. But now might be the time to explore the bargain bin at Tropixxx. More a fetish graveyard than a fertile garden of potential climax, this collection of castaways is priced in a way befitting our current recession. Five dollars will get you (VHS) videos of feet squishing ground beef, feet squishing green Jell-O, or even feet squishing mashed potatoes. Now, a smart shopper appreciates bargains, and because you are the smartest shopper around, you'll stash these treasures away like a perverted squirrel waiting for winter and give them out next holiday season to your nearest and dearest. Imagine the joy they'll get unwrapping that $3 copy of Tijuana Madness; it might not be high-brow, but the price is right, and in these tough times, that alone is pretty damned sexy.
If youre unlucky enough to need one of the body shop services, its tough to weed out the fly-by-nights from the real pros. Chassis Master is definitely one of the latter. Staffers are superpolite, they know how to handle insurance companies, and most important, theyre superb craftsmen who can turn a crumpled wreck into a work of beautifully contoured art, often making it look better than it was before the accident. And they might just save their recession-beaten customers a few bucks on having to buy a new car.
Dear Diary,
First off, I'm sorry I haven't written in so long — I just haven't found anything really juicy and crush-worthy to share until today. I was wandering along, underwhelmed by my shopping options, certain that I would never open my heart again, and that's when it winked at me. Jezebel. With its pink trim and dazzling window display, it drew me in like a tractor beam. I've always heard that's how love happens, but I never thought it would happen to me. If I could, I would marry the shop, move it into my home, and merge assets. It understands me. Upon first fondle, I found racks and racks of adorable vintage dresses, negligees, and skirts. Boxes were stacked high and filled with '50s gloves and embroidered hankies. And if I discuss the collection of candles, home goods, and shiny things, I might just break down with emotion. I took home mementos of our first date: Now my scrapbook is filled with bacon Band-Aids and pictures of my new, ultrafeminine wardrobe. Jezebel assured me that it's been awaiting my arrival for more than 20 years, and now that we've connected, I'm never letting it get away. I'm no longer seeing other boutiques. My wallet is off the market. I promise to write soon!
Less than four years ago, this Starbucks opened between two locally owned and vastly superior coffee shops — Stork's and Java Boys. Since then, the corporate storefront has been competing for one-third or more of Wilton Manors' coffee dollars and waiting for the competition to fold. Before Starbucks, the property housed a charming little café that served a perfect salmon Florentine breakfast and good booze at night. And before that, it was home to another neat breakfast joint, Health Nuts Cafe, and two pubs (one English, one Irish). All of these places enhanced the neighborhood and helped make Wilton Manors the quirky, lovable town it is today. By feeding our dollars to the wholly unnecessary Wilton Manors Starbucks, we help make this town more bland, more like every place else. So stop spending money there. Right now.
Remember the old-school brown skates from your childhood days at the roller rink? Recall the disco ball and the Moonlight Skate? Remember how they always trucked in cases of beer and liquor... Hey, wait a second! That nifty little addition has only been part of the skating experience since the Intoxiskate party launched under the radar a couple of years ago. A $5 entry fee (and $2 skate rental) gets you six hours (!) of rink time, from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. And games at 11! But wait! That's not all! The weekly party is fun enough, but in a spectacular bonus that could be matched only by a set of Ginsu knives, the peeps behind Intoxiskate kick things up a notch with a themed blowout once a month. For Saint Patrick's Day in March, there was a Beer Pong tournament; in April, the cause célèbre was Underwear Night. (Yes, it is what you're thinking: Sexy people. In hot pants. On wheels.) The most remarkable part of all this? Organizers report that even with partygoers fueled by vodka and Hokey Pokey, injuries are no more frequent than your average, sober roller-skating casualty rate. Amazing!

As an additional point, possibly of interest, the retail price quoted for the 750mm lead-equipped sensor was ~$250, while the post-cat sensors with a shorter lead retail for ~$149. It sounds like one expensive run of wires!
Thanks in advance.
I asume for a S52. The 990 mm one is 11 78 1 437 943. The 660 mm one is 11 78 1 406 981. Both retail for $133.35 each.
