Hi All,
My first post here so thanks for having me.
I have a custom-built, well insulated, cellar in the garage with a Cellar Pro 4200VSi cooling unit. During the spring and summer the cooling unit keeps the temperature constant at 55 F. During the winter the temperatures have slowly declined and are now at 43 F. There are no major fluctuations during the day—as mentioned, the temperature decline was very slow and gradual.
I do have wines that I'm planning to age for decades, and my question is: should I be thinking of a heating solution, and if so, any recommendations?
I'm contemplating between three main options:
1. Leave as is, since the daily temperature fluctuations are very minor (0-1 degrees). I don't mind if it takes my wines longer to age; in fact, I prefer it to be the case. Perhaps during the spring and summer set the cooling unit to 50 F and this way reduce the difference between the minimum and maximum?
2. Replace the existing cooling unit with one that is both a cooling and a heating unit. The problem with this approach is that the existing unit wasn't cheap. But if people think this is the ideal approach, any recommended unit?
3. Keep using the existing cooling unit. Turn it off during the winter (following the advice of the manufacturer's support). Add a separate heating unit and activate it during the winter. If people think that this is the ideal approach, any recommended unit?
Thanks for any advice!

I would think you should either leave as is, as I would imagine your existing unit shuts itself off as needed when the temperature drops to a certain point, and the 0-1 degree variation with a low of 43 should not be a problem. If you do change units, I would think a cellar installation company could point you in the right direction for a dual purpose unit, but I would think having two units for different functions would just over complicate things.
Either way, sounds like a GOOD problem to have compared to the other extreme!
That's, RedLoverJim to you
I built my cellar nearly 10 years ago, it's in my basement. The outer walls are brick (yes, brick foundation in my 110 year old house) so in the winter it gets kind of cold in there. I have the cooling unit set to 57 for the summer and in the winter it goes down to the mid 40s (47 last I looked). I don't think there's any damage to my wines, but I guess I'll find out! As far as I can tell my wines age in an average fashion. I have a fair sized selection of 2000 bdx that I've had since release that doesn't seem to be maturing any faster than the average, likewise with my 01s and 03s. Everything else might be too young to know yet. Bottom line- as long as the fluctuation happens slowly and the temps don't get too high I don't think it matters (I hope).

Yes, load-bearing masonry walls...i.e., Chicago.
I have a very efficient baseboard heater installed for that reason. It is thermostat controlled and doesn't complicate anything, just be sure to make sure they aren't competing against each other (i.e leave the heater off in the spring/summer, leave the AC off in the fall/winter).
I have a few thermometers set up in the cellar and none show more than a degree of fluctuation while the heater is running. Baseboard heaters are also very affordable as opposed to a new unit.

Do not heat. Just let it be. Unless you are going to get down into the low 20's where you can freeze wine, you have zero issues. Your wines will age glacially but spectacularly.
-Eric LeVine
It rhymes with wine...
Are you worried about 43 degrees? As Eric said, that's perfect. Your wine isn't too cold unless it freezes.
Or are you worried about the 43-55 degree fluctuation over the year? That may be more of an issue - some people say that they fluctation doesn't matter so much if it's gradual - that's not true. But in your case, the fluctuation is in the comfort zone for the wine and it won't cause nearly the same effect as it would if it went between say, 58 and 70.
Sounds to me like you have an ideal situation. You only need to cool for part of the year and the rest of the time you have passive cooling.

GregT, I've never heard anyone call into question gradual temperature fluctuations as a potential negative. I did a quick google search and found the link below (I have no idea how credible it is, look at the bottom section). They claim the cellars of DRC, Leroy, and Margaux (and indirectly the other first growths) swing by 13 - 15 degrees seasonally. I doubt the OPs 12 degree swing would be an issue especially considering the low overall temperature.
Indeed. It's fascinating to see the original beams in my house though, the 2x4s are actually 2 inches by 4 inches, not the nominal 2x4s (1.75 x 3.5) that are used today. The main beams are 4x4 and are as solid a wood as I've ever seen.
Thanks for the link, WineCanuck, that was very informative.
GregT- do you have a reference for that very strong statement? If so I'm interested, it matters to me for obvious reasons.

Is there a reason for such an adamant stand on not including a heater in a wine cellar? In the 2 feet of the external walls in my cellar, I think it's possible that it's cold enough for the wine on the top shelves of the racking to freeze. I also don't think the heater actually affects the wine before it shuts off, rather only the air in the cellar itself ( due to the specific heat capacity of liquid(wine) being far greater than that of air). I'm not very experienced , but I think if it is emitting radiant heat , not situated near any wine, it should be okay. Any responses would be helpful, as it is now starting to be of concern to me
Victory loves preparation.
As far as I know, the only cooling unit out there which also produce heat shall the temp drops under set temp is Eurocave INOA. I used it on all my commercial build. I don't know if I shall trust a external heater. Regardless, heater in a cellar sounds scary already.
Your heater will also drop your humidity which is not good.
Interesting, I will monitor the levels more closely, but it seems to be at a decent level to me (mid 60s).
Victory loves preparation.
Thanks everyone! The replies are very helpful. BTW, in the meanwhile the temperatures have dropped further, with the lowest being 39F. So the maximum difference so far between summer and winter is 16 degrees. Based on what I hear so far, it seems like it shouldn't be a great cause for concern as long as the decrease is very gradual and the wines don't freeze.
My passive cellar is colder than yours year round and I would never consider a heater. I've cellared wine since the mid 1980's and have Bordeaux that are drinking perfectly.

The Cleveland Cavaliers were looked to as a young team on the rise before the season started. With Kyrie Irving at the point and Mike Brown on the bench, they were expected to make a playoff push in the down Eastern Conference.
Those thoughts quickly disintegrated once basketball started being played and the dysfunctional nature of the Cavaliers organization started to effect their on-court product. That trend continued through the first half of the season, but it wasn't until the Luol Deng trade that many of those problems became public knowledge.
A source close to Deng told the New York Daily News that the Cavaliers locker room was a "mess." Now, in an Akron Beacon Journal report, Irving and Dion Waiters have been fingered as the source of problems within the team.
Irving, who is set to sign a max extension, is painted a pouter who displays his dissatisfaction on his sleeve, while Waiters is cited as a petulant player who doesn't receive proper discipline. An example comes in the fact that Waiters was recently kicked out of practice but didn't see any dip in playing time.
These problems could result in a roster shakeup before the Feb. 20 trade deadline that might start with a trade of Waiters, according to the Beacon Journal.
Speaking with the Beacon Journal, Irving denounced reports that there were any problems within the team.
The chemistry is great," Irving said Saturday. "There's nothing going on within the locker room that needs to be shared with the media."
He also took issue with the notion that he has developed into a pouter this season.
"I've never been known for pouting," Irving said. "Just because I don't smile on the court when we're losing, I don't think I'm supposed to smile. You smile on the court, that's a problem, especially when you're losing like this."

SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) that was released with SQL Server 2012 obviously works with the BI stack (SSIS/SSAS/SSRS) for 2012. But does it also work with the BI stack from SQL Server 2008 R2? Can you use it with 2008 projects and save it as 2008 versions (avoiding having to convert it to 2012)?
SQL Server 2008 engine: Yes! You can use T-SQL (SSMS stuff) and database projects in SSDT against SQL Server 2008 databases
SSRS 2008: Yes! SSDT will convert projects in-place to Visual Studio 2010 (SSDT using the VS 2010 shell) via the Visual Studio Conversion Wizard (so make a copy of it if you want to keep the older version) but you can save any report as a SSRS 2008 version. See Deployment and Version Support in SQL Server Data Tools (SSRS)
SSIS 2008: No! It will convert the project in-place to VS 2010 via the Visual Studio Conversion Wizard and update the SSIS packages via the SSIS Package Upgrade Wizard to SSIS 2012. These packages are permanently upgraded to the format that SQL Server 2012 SSIS uses. See Working with 2008 SSIS packages in 2012 SSDT and Interoperability and Coexistence (Integration Services)
SSAS 2008: No! It will convert the project in-place to VS 2010 via the Visual Studio Conversion Wizard. You can open a SSAS 2008 project and deploy it on SSAS 2012, but you can't deploy it to SSAS 2008. It will be permanently upgraded to the format that SQL Server 2012 SSAS uses.

IP22 is Silicon Graphic's software archicture name for the hardware sold as Indy, Indigo 2 and Challenge S. Modulo peripherals these systems are all very similar. Various Linux distributions will easily install on IP22, among them the Debian MIPS port.
Processor Options
Over the years Indy systems have been equipped with a variety of MIPS processor starting with the 100MHz R4000PC over R4000SC, R4400PC, R4400SC, R4600PC, R4600SC, R5000PC and R5000SC. Indigo 2 systems use the same system board as Indys but have only been been made with R4000SC and R4400SC processor modules.
The POWER Indigo 2 is based on the IP26 system board and comes with the R8000 processor. The R8000 is in many ways a unique MIPS processor and currently only partially supported by Linux.
The architecturally very similar Indigo 2 R10000 is based on the IP28 system board and has a MIPS R10000 processor. This system represent a very special case and therefore isn't supported yet by Linux.
IP22 boards have two memory banks; each bank consists of 4 memory modules and if populated must be fully populated with fast page mode 36-bit wide PS/2 style memory modules from 4MB to 32MB size. Memory configurations between 16MB and 256MB are support.
The board in the Indigo 2 is similar but has third memory bank, therefore it's maximum memory configuration is 384MB.
IP26 and IP28 boards also have 3 memory banks each 4 modules but support 64MB memory modules also increasing the maximum memory capacity to 768MB.
Support of more than 384MB memory requieres a 64-bit Linux kernel.
Graphics Options
The Indy comes with the entry level XL graphics which exists in 8-bit and 24-bit variants. The Indigo 2 and Indigo 2 R10000 are equipped with the XZ graphics which is also knows under the name Impact and which isn't Linux supported. Finally the Challenge S which is a headless compact server system.
Storage Options
Challenge S, Indy, Indigo 2 and Indigo 2 R10000 are all equipped with an on-board WD33C93 SCSI controller. In addition to that the Challenge S has a second SCSI hostadapter supporting fast and wide SCSI, the WD33C95. Linux supports the WD33C93 but not he WD33C95.
Networking Options
All IP22 systems come with an onboard Seeq 8003 network controller. The Challenge S being a server system comes with a second 8003.
All IP22, IP26 and IP28 systems use ARC firmware.

IP22 has forgotten it's ethernet address
IP22 uses the Dallas DS1286 RTC chip to store time and firmware variables. This chip contains a builtin battery for ten years but by now this decade is almost over and experience has shown that some of these RTC batteries have a much shorter battery life, so the RTCs start becoming forgetful. Software may also accidentally have overwritten the RTC's content.
If you have determined that a defective RTC chip is the cause of the problem you can get a new RTC from http://www.maxim-ic.com/ or other sources. Be paranoid, make sure you don't get a part that has been sitting on a shelf for long years.
This is how to reprogram the RTC chip. Assuming your ethernet address is aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
fill -w -v 0xaa 0xbfbe04e8 fill -w -v 0xbb 0xbfbe04ec fill -w -v 0xcc 0xbfbe04f0 fill -w -v 0xdd 0xbfbe04f4 fill -w -v 0xee 0xbfbe04f8 fill -w -v 0xff 0xbfbe04fc
With this command you can verify the content of the chip's NVRAM:
dump -w -x 0xbfbe04e8
Note this will print each byte of the MAC address repeated four times; this is normal an due to the way the chip is used in the Indy.
The MAC address is also the system's serial number, so software licenses under IRIX might be bound to it. Also the ethernet standards specify certain meanings for certain values of the 48-bit address. Therefore you should reprogramm the old ethernet address. You may find the MAC address on the sticker on the machine. Below a bar code this sticker only contains a 12 digit hexadecimal number; it's typically located on the backside between the parallel port and and SCSI connectors on the left side and the power supply on the right side. In case this sticker has been lost, you probably also have the number somewhere in the bootmessages of Linux archived by syslogd or maybe a bootpd or dhcpd config file.
If you need to reprogram the ethernet address you will almost certainly have lost all other NVRAM settings, use the PROM shell's setenv -p command for that.

Prosecutors want a former Carnegie Mellon University trustee accused of money laundering to forfeit $2.5 million in cash.
An indictment filed Wednesday in Texas alleges that El Paso lawyer and philanthropist Marco Delgado defrauded a firm doing business with a Mexican utility of millions and used that money on a lavish lifestyle.
Delgado faces another indictment accusing him of conspiring to launder more than $600 million for a Mexican drug cartel.
The new indictment says Delgado misrepresented himself to move $32 million from his client to an account he controlled in the Caribbean.
Delgado maintains his innocence.
In 2003, Delgado donated $250,000 to create a scholarship at Carnegie Mellon named after him. It's not clear from the indictment if that money came from the alleged scheme.

It was due mostly to SATA not (as far as I'm aware) being fully hot-swappable (at least, not on BSD). Or, looking at things another way, it was due to the BIOS on another computer I was working on not being able to properly handle the SATA hard drive and the ATAPI CD drive at the same time.
See, we had this new computer, on which we wanted to install a certain OS distribution (a fairly special-purpose one, which happened to be based on (a rather old version of) slackware), but its BIOS had only two options for how to handle SATA: either it could be set up in "legacy" mode, in which case the SATA drive actually masked the IDE channel (and any drives on it) entirely, or else it could be set up in "native" mode, in which case the BIOS did not see the SATA hard drive at all. (A fully installed and booted OS with the proper driver could perhaps work around things and use the SATA drive in this mode, but the OS booted from the installation CD was not able to do that.)
So I brought both the hard drive and the CD to my FreeBSD workstation, which I turned off, plugged in the SATA drive there, booted back up, created a small partition on the SATA drive, copied over the data from the CD to there, then shut back down, took the SATA drive back out, restarted my FreeBSD workstation so it could resume its normal duties, took the new SATA drive back to the new system, and proceded with the installation. I had to make some modifications to the installation script to get it to use the hard drive partition in lieu of a CD drive, but it did work.
Actually, I had to do this twice, because for some reason the first time I did't quite get all of the package files from the CD copied onto the SATA drive, and did not become aware of this fact until later when I was partway through the install process.
So my FreeBSD workstation had downtime *twice*, due to a flaw in the BIOS of another computer. Why on earth the BIOS makers decided not to allow the SATA drive to be treated as an _additional_ IDE channel is entirely beyond me.
We're working on a six-year set of freely redistributable Vacation Bible School materials.

William ByrdEnglish
Possibly born in Lincoln, where he was organist and choirmaster from 1563 to 1570, Byrd is known to have been a pupil of Thomas Tallis . While employed in Lincoln he began to find his feet as a composer, assimilating the genres of the time and investing them with his own style. His evolution as a composer is evident in his works for voice and viol consort - they begin as elementary settings of verse but progress to incorporate continuous counterpoint in the accompanying parts. These may be the first examples of the verse-anthem form, and some would conjecture that Byrd was the inventor of the form.
From 1570 to 1580 Byrd held the post of Gentleman of the Chapel Royal in London, for which he wrote extensively. His greatest works in the field of church music were the volumes of Cantiones Sacrae, the Short Service and the Gradualia, masterpieces of Renaissance English vocal counterpoint. The Cantiones were also his calling card, printed as a business venture by himself and Tallis and ostentatiously dedicated to Queen Elizabeth. This dedication was to be dug out later to persuade Elizabeth to give them compensation when their business venture lost them money!
Byrd's position in London allowed him to fraternize with nobility, and he set texts written by many prominent figures of the time. It also allowed him to meet Alfonso Ferrabosco, a secret agent and composer who introduced Byrd to Flemish counterpoint, a resource Byrd seemed to be the only English composer to make full use of. From 1591 to his death he moved to Essex to be close to his wealthy patrons.
Byrd wrote extensive keyboard music and is featured in the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book. He wrote much music for domestic chamber ensembles, such as music for viol consort, and used familiar forms such as galliards, pavanes, grounds and fantasias.

Coach Amaker and the Crimson won their third straight Ivy League title (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard men's basketball head coach Tommy Amaker has been named a finalist for a prestigious coaching award – the Ben Jobe Award– after guiding the Crimson to its third straight Ivy League title and second consecutive NCAA tournament appearance.
Amaker is among 20 finalists for the Ben Jobe Award, which is presented annually to the top minority coach in Division I men's basketball. Coach Jobe is an icon in the history of basketball at historically black colleges and universities. He is best known as the head coach of the Southern University, a position he held for 12 seasons. He has also head coach at Alabama A&M, Alabama State, Talladega, Tuskegee and South Carolina State.
Amaker, who was also a finalist for this award in each of the last two seasons, is in his sixth year at the helm of the Crimson. Amaker led Harvard to a 19-9 overall record and a 11-3 mark in the Ivy League, as the Crimson won its second straight outright conference crown.
The Crimson went 13-1 at home during the regular season, including a 7-0 mark at Lavietes Pavilion against Ivy League opponents. Harvard will await Sunday evening's NCAA tournament Selection Show for the Crimson's opponent and destination for the championship.
The 2013 recipient will be announced at the CollegeInsider.com awards banquet in Atlanta, site of the men's NCAA Basketball Championship.

ANNAPOLIS — A gun-control measure in Maryland is drawing large crowds of supporters and opponents.
Gov. Martin O'Malley, who is pushing for the bill, spoke Friday in front of the Maryland State House to supporters of tighter gun laws.
Mosi Harrington, of Hyattsville, says six students have been killed in six months in Prince George's County by gun violence. She says the measure is a step forward in stopping violence.
Across the street, opponents filled an office building for the House of Delegates, where the bill is getting a hearing a day after the Senate approved it.
Doug Bigelow, of Hagerstown, said he came to Annapolis to speak out for his Second Amendment rights. He says he lives in a rural area and wants to be able to defend himself if necessary.

A bar of chocolate, a long soak in the bath, a snooze in the middle of the afternoon, a leisurely stroll in the park. These are the things that make us the most happy, according to new research from The University of Nottingham.
In a study commissioned by the National Lottery, Dr Richard Tunney of the University's School of Psychology found that it's the simple things in life that impact most positively on our sense of well being.
The study compared the 'happiness levels' of lottery jackpot winners with a control group, using a 'Satisfaction with Life Scale' developed by the University of Illinois. Respondents were asked how satisfied they were in relation to different elements of their life, their different mood states explored, how often they treated themselves and what form this took.
Surprisingly, it wasn't the flashy cars and diamond jewellery that upped the jackpot winners' happiness quotient. It was the listening to music, reading a book, or enjoying a bottle of wine with a takeaway that really made the difference.

Does it make a difference if a video is uploaded to YouTube at 720 or 1080? Youtube is going to compress it anyways, just curious to hear what others think. I did a test video and wasn't able to see much difference, however, it could have just been that video. Are there other reasons/benefits to uploading in one size or the other?
Since YT changes at times, the best place to read is on their page

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
One of the most telling stories to come out of the spectacular failure that was the 2000 Camp David Summit between Israeli and Palestinian leaders was Yasser Arafat's turning down of a pretty comprehensive peace deal because he refused to recognize Jewish historical ties to Jerusalem's Temple Mount.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, to the horror of many Israelis, had offered to divide Jerusalem between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, with the caveat that Jews be allowed to continue visiting the Western Wall of the Temple Mount, Judaism's holiest site, unimpeded.
To the astonishment of their host, former President Bill Clinton, Arafat rejected the proposal on the grounds that the Jews never had a temple at the site, and that it was wholly an Islamic site with no connection to the Jews or the their Bible.
Former US Middle East negotiator Dennis Ross later told Fox News that Arafat was not only not accommodating to the Israeli side, but was determined to "deny the core of the Jewish faith."
It should come as little surprise that Arafat's protege and long-time deputy, current-Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, is up to the same old tricks.
On Monday, the Palestinian Ministry of Information in Ramallah published a "study" claiming that the Western Wall is an integral part of the Al Aqsa Mosque and the Haram al-Sharif (the Islamic term for the Temple Mount).
According to the study, what the Jews call the Western Wall of the Temple compound originally built King Solomon and expanded by King Herod is a wholly Islamic site with no connection to the Jews whatsoever.
"This wall was never part of the so-called Temple Mount, but Muslim tolerance allowed the Jews to stand in front of it and weep over its destruction," wrote the study's author, Al-Mutawakel Taha. "During the British mandate in Palestine, the number of Jews who visited the wall increased to a point where the Muslims felt threatened."
Taha ignored the mountains of archeological and written evidence that affirm ancient Jewish life and temple worship in Jerusalem, and insisted that the Jews have utterly failed to prove their connection to the holy site.
The study concludes that "no Muslim or Arab or Palestinian had the right to give up one stone" of the Western Wall, signaling once again that peace between Israel and the current Palestinian leadership will be impossible without the Jews surrendering not only their land, but their faith and identity.
Israeli leaders demanded that Abbas and his government distance itself from the study.
"This is not the sort of statement to be expected from a partner in peace," government spokesman Mark Regev told The Jerusalem Post.
Regev continued: "Denying the Jewish connection to the Western Wall is to deny reality. If you deny the Jewish connection to the Western Wall you are in fact denying the Jewish connection to Jerusalem and the land of Israel itself." Of course, that is likely the ultimate goal of the Palestinian leadership.
Likud lawmaker Tzipi Hotovely told the newspaper that the government must not ignore this affront, lest the UN and other world bodies endorse or even adopt the Palestinian revisionism. She noted the recent declaration by UNESCO that the tomb of Jacob's wife and Israel's matriarch Rachel in nearby Bethlehem is an Islamic holy site.
A day later, Abbas' regime did just the opposite, and officially backed the study by posting it on an official Palestinian Authority website.

Nov. 8, 2008
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - It may have been Senior Day at the John J. Lee Amphitheater for the Yale volleyball team's Ivy League match with Cornell on Saturday, but it was a pair of juniors that lit up Big Red to lead the Bulldogs to their sixth consecutive victory. Cat Dailey hit .526, slamming a match-high 20 kills on 38 swings without committing an error, and Alexis Crusey recorded her 11th double-double of the season with 15 kills and 13 digs to lead Yale to a 3-0 sweep by set scores of 25-15, 25-18 and 25-19. Crusey committed just one error on her 32 attack attempts for a hitting percentage of .438.
"Cat and Lexi both had outstanding matches," said Yale Head Coach Erin Appleman of her outside hitting duo. Dailey and Crusey combined to hit .486 in the contest. Their 35 kills nearly matched the output of the entire Cornell team, which finished with 40 kills on the afternoon.
The Bulldogs, winners of 13 of their last 14 matches, improved to 17-4 overall with the win and maintained first place in the Ivy League at 11-1. Cornell fell to 8-15 overall and 7-5 in league play.
Freshman Taylor Cramm also played an errorless match on the frontline, contributing six kills on 14 swings. Senior Ally Mendenhall ran the offense to the tune of a match-best 38 assists. Mendenhall, who also notched 10 digs for her ninth double-double of the season, and fellow seniors Kristen Wilk, Courtney Hall and Allison Kaptur were honored before the match for their four years of service in the Yale volleyball program.
"It was great for our seniors to get a win in their final home match," said Appleman. Winning at home is something that the class of 2009 is accustomed to, posting an impressive 24-4 record in Ivy League home matches in their careers.
The Bulldogs also played well defensively, led by a match-best 17 digs from sophomore libero Kelly Ozurovich. At the net, Yale outblocked the best blocking team in the Ivy League by a 6-2 margin. Dailey led the effort with four stuffs.
Cornell led the Bulldogs early on in the first set, nabbing 10 of the first 18 points to post a 10-8 lead. From that point forward, however, Yale scorched Big Red with a 17-5 run, capped off by a kill from Wilk, one of three from the senior in her final home match. Dailey and Crusey notched six kills in the 25-15 first frame. The Bulldogs hit a crushing .469 in the frame, registering 16 kills and committing just one attack error on 32 swings. Juliana Rogers matched Dailey and Crusey with six kills in the set to lead Big Red. Mendenhall doled out set-high 15 assists in the opening stanza, and Ozurovich led all players with eight digs in the frame.
Big Red once again hung tough with Yale in the second set, as the two squads split the first 10 points to a 5-5 deadlock. The Bulldogs promptly put together an 8-0 run to race ahead by a score of 13-5. The home team never looked back in the set and claimed victory by the eventual score of 25-18. Dailey led the way in kills with seven in the frame. Mendenhall posted the set best in both assists and digs with nine and eight respectively.
The 10-minute intermission preceding set three has been a season-long hindrance for the Bulldogs, and this afternoon was no different. Cornell jumped out to a five point lead at 14-9 in the frame, forcing Coach Appleman to call her first timeout. The Bulldogs responded with six of the next seven points to knot the score at 15-15. Yale claimed the lead for good at 17-16 and eventually closed out the set and the match with a 25-19 victory. Dailey once again hammered seven kills to lead all players in the set. Mendenhall distributed 14 assists in the frame, and Crusey recorded a set-high seven digs.
With the win, the Bulldogs improved to 24-19 all-time against Cornell. Yale, who also swept Cornell in Ithaca two week ago, has won the last four meetings with Big Red at the John J. Lee Amphitheater. Coach Appleman moved above .500 against Cornell in her six-year tenure at 7-6. The Bulldogs' 11 Ivy League wins ties the single-season high since the league expanded its schedule to 14 matches in 2001. Yale was 11-3 in the 2005 and 2006 campaigns. The Bulldogs have posted a 6-1 Ivy League home record in each of the last five seasons.
Yale remains in the driver's seat at the top of the Ivy League heading into the final weekend of Ancient Eight play. The Bulldogs will travel to Penn, which is still alive at 8-3 in league matches, on Friday night for a 7 p.m. showdown. Yale will then head to the Garden State for its final league match of the 2008 season: a clash with the defending Ivy League Champion Princeton Tigers at 4 p.m. on Saturday. The Tigers defeated Dartmouth and Harvard this weekend to remain tied with Yale in the loss column at 10-1.

Hi to all NCIS members.
Just got the news today that showed up on my ultrasound and other tests. I have cervical cancer. I am scheduled for a hysterectomy on Thursday, Dec. 22nd. I have been so tired lately, lacking the energy I used to have and its more then low blood count and lack of iron.
Please keep me in your thoughts & prayers as I go thru this difficult time. Feel free to continue to post anything about NCIS & NCIS L.A. to keep this group going in my absence.
Thank you,

Thanks Sue! Hope you have a great Christmas!
My sweet man bought me seasons 2-7 of NCIS for Christmas and a Motorola hands free speakerphone for the car. My ex had pawned all my DVD sets except Season one because I had a chance to hide it from him. My new man gave them all again plus 2 more seasons to go with it! God Bless him, I love him so much!
I am doing much better now since the surgery last Thursday. Got some energy back and waiting for results of the biopsy next week. Feel like I lost some fat in my stomach because the fibroids were making me look like I was pregnant!

Christmas was good thanks! It sounds like yours was also.

A chop shop is no place for America's sports car. Unfortunately, that is where at least 17 new and used Corvettes ended up in the 2009 and 2010 at the hands of 74-year-old career car thief, Daniel Ott. Earlier this week Ott was in court for the theft of these vehicles and was sentenced to both jail time and restitution, according to Cleveland's Real Time News.
Ott was arrested in May 2010 for his crimes after his phone activity was tracked. It was with phone calls that Ott was given orders for certain model years and colors of Corvettes. He would then steal the cars and turn them over to his chop-shop connection for $1,200 each.
We broke the news of this senior's automotive thefts a year ago, shortly after he was caught in May 2010. Since then, Ott has been held on auto theft charges at the Cuyahoga County Jail. After waiting over a year for his sentence, Ott was given 4 more years in jail and ordered to pay $533,000 in restitution – a bargain compared to the over $600,000 worth of cars he stole in a mere 12 months.
This is not the first run-in with the law for Ott. In fact, he has 14 other auto theft convictions on his record and told authorities he has stolen over 100 Corvettes in his career. Because of his previous convictions, it's not surprising that U.S. District Judge, Dan Aaron Polster, didn't play into Ott and his lawyer's plea for mercy. Ott's attorney, Carolyn Kucharski, argued that Ott's failing health, age, nature of his crimes and wife's health conditions were reasons for a lesser sentence. Unfortunately, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Kall, Ott had used these reasons to argue for lesser sentences on three previous auto theft convictions. Ott was sentenced without leniency and was taken from the court room back to jail, waving to his crying wife in the back of the court room.
While Ott's age, failing health and wife's conditions are unfortunate, we are glad that he is paying for what he did. While we know there are other car thieves out there aiming for America's sports car, we can rest a little more soundly knowing that one of these career criminals is off the street for a few more years.

Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
Value Line recently initiated coverage of Carmike Cinemas (CKEC) in its flagship product, The Value Line Investment Survey. The motion picture exhibitor was founded in 1982 by Carl L. Patrick after he purchased Martin Theaters. The company operates solely within American borders, with 249 theaters and 2,359 screens located in 35 states.
Based in Columbus, Georgia, the company focuses mainly on rural and suburban markets with populations fewer than 200,000. As "America's Hometown Theater," Carmike is markedly different than many of its larger industry peers. While Regal Entertainment (RGC), Cinemark (CNK), and others also declared bankruptcy in the early 2000s as a result of exorbitant spending on growth despite the leveling out of attendance rates, Carmike is less at risk to falling into the same hole again. The small market focus offers it a sort of niche appeal, while also keeping operating costs low. What's more, since an executive shakeup that promoted current CEO S. David Passman III to the role, the stock has climbed from $1 to its current, loftier level.
The turbulent state of the domestic theater industry, battling with lower attendance rates and a slumping box office, has compelled theater operators to look for supplemental revenue in the form of digital projection screens. One of the few victors of the recent box office has been IMAX (IMAX). The Canadian company fills seats by offering a moviegoing experience that cannot be matched. Equipped with larger-than-life screens and cutting edge sound systems, its screens are not easily duplicated on even the most spectacular home theater. These IMAX and 3D screenings demand a premium price, usually an extra dollar or two per ticket. So, while companies like Regal have rolled out similar technology in an effort to steal away market share from IMAX, Carmike focused on a full digital overhaul of its 2,000-plus screens. As a result, the company is among the industry leaders in digital capabilities, with over 90% of its screens operating as 3D ready. This offers more flexibility with show times, as theaters can add more screenings to cater to audience viewing habits depending on the blockbuster du jour on a particular weekend.
Also concerning for the company is the quality of Hollywood's output. While there have been surprise box office success stories in recent years, from Magic Mike to G.I. Joe: Retaliation, there have been as many, if not more, spectacular failures, such as 2012's Battleship and John Carter. And while the summer usually offers some seat-filling flare in the form of franchise installments and A-list actor vehicles, the industry will need a more sustained year-round effort to keep theaters operating.
As the movie industry focuses more on emerging regions across the globe, companies like Carmike that only operate stateside could start to feel increased margin pressure. Brazil and Argentina saw their 2012 box office grow 25% and 18%, respectively, in the recent quarter, while America's declined again. Asia and the Pacific region also favors international companies, as there are still nary enough screens to accommodate the massive population on the continent. We believe Carmike stands more than a fighting chance to grow earnings well into the future by sticking to its niche strategy and continuing to operate efficiently.
Subscribers interested in owning a piece of this small cap movie theater exhibitor are advised to consult Value Line's quarterly reports for Carmike Cinemas, as well as any supplemental reports and relevant articles as important news items arise.

I do however see the selectors' point that for Adelaide they need a fifth bowler
Still, if Watson can't bowl, I would rather have him at first drop instead of Quiney, and maybe a Moises type at seven, behind Wade

Ah, you legal types. Another source of the same damn info with the same conjecture doesn't make it twice as strong evidence. This:
Is based on the assumption that he's good to bat but not to bowl. I'm telling you, if you've done your calf, you can't run and usually not for a while because it's a **** injury. If you can't run, you can't bat or bowl and even if you can just bat, the chances of blowing it again are pretty high the first time you take it for a test drive on a quick single. That coupled with the fact he's an injury risk anyway, he simply can't play, especially with the Tests so close together.On the face of it, if Watson - who has scored 2328 Test runs at 37.55 - is OK to bat but not bowl it makes little sense to select Rob Quiney ahead of him solely because the Victorian is capable of taking up some of the bowling slack with his gentle, if accurate seamers.
EDIT: Fully fit, the selectors said in that article he'd been considered as a bat only, incidentally. So it's nothing to do with whether they reckon he's good enough to hold his place with the bat alone.

Starc NSW's best with 4-fa against a relatively strong Victorian batting line-up.
HJ tasting so hard.
So which Michael Clarke innings rates higher with CW?
Clarke's recent 259* at the Gabba or Clarke's 151 against South Africa at Cape Town.
The 151 obv.
Yeah no contest.

The 151 is the kind of innings where it just becomes better and better the more you consider it.
The 259*, for mine, is more distinguished out of sheer bloody-mindedness, given that I don't think he was in that great nick for half of it (until he got to about 130). Gets points for being against Steyn et al at 3/40, obvs.

do you think people will be allowed to make violins?
who's going to make the violins?
forever 63*
151 by streets considering the conditions, how well everybody else fared, and still establishing himself as skipper. a great tragedy it came in a loss
259* in much easier conditions, kallis, amla, hussey even cowan could have gone on to score just as many even if with much less magnificence. Extra points for 3/40 of course in the first test of the home summer.
329* in a win, at the SCG his best knock for mine even if the Indian bowling attack was dire.
151* and then the 60 odd against SL.

Will say this once and then nothing else. Defamation laws quite clear in Aus.be careful.
South Africa in Australia 2012-13 : South Africa batsmen easily distracted - Warner | Cricket News | Australia v South Africa | ESPN Cricinfo
Bit rich of Warner considering how focused and vigilant he was at his brief stay in the crease.."If the guy's in the fourth tier at the MCG and you see someone move, you're looking way too much and you're too distracted. The other day AB de Villiers played a ball when the sight-screen was still on the advertising board, so if he's just concentrating on the specifics of the bowler then that's fantastic. But someone is moving away because a guy is peaking his head behind the sight screen - if you're picking those little things up I think you're not watching the bowler hard enough."
Smith, Amla and Kallis thanking him for the batting advice aws.
Between him and Maxwell, there's going to be some ... interesting things said at press conferences over the next few years.
rather read douchey quotes from dave than mark nicholas though
That said, Smith's always been a bit of a knob when it comes to sight-screens.

Considering a Career in Wealth Management
Colin Henneberger '14 is fully embracing the New York City internship experience this summer by working at Pioneer Financial. After waking up at 6:30 a.m., catching a train, transferring to the subway, and walking from the station, he finally arrives at the wealth advisory firm to start his workday at 9 a.m.
A subsidiary of Northwestern Mutual, Pioneer offers financial guidance to its clients and monitors their assets. Rather than take a sales position, Henneberger opted to focus on the advisory component of wealth management. By working under the four financial advisors at Pioneer, Henneberger hopes to master the necessary tools to create and interpret investment reviews.
While the position is unpaid, the experience he will acquire can be invaluable in today's job market. Henneberger received a stipend for his internship through the Joseph F. Anderson '44 Internship Fund, administered by Hamilton's Career Center.
Custom software designs these investment reviews for clients, and Henneberger has been learning the programs. He is gaining experience in interpreting the data he generates, but he will know enough to join in the consulting process with clients and assist in guiding them with financial decisions by the end of the summer. Henneberger is not simply producing spreadsheets and staring at numbers all day. The reports he generates are valuable in examining the quality of certain investments and determining what a client's next financial decision should be.
With a concentration in economics and a minor in mathematics, he has always been interested in working with numbers and statistics. This internship will enable him to see what aspects of the field he enjoys and could potentially specialize in for his post-graduation career.
Many Hamilton students have interned in the Pioneer office before and have had positive experiences. Henneberger actually heard about the internship through a friend of his father's, illustrating the power of networking.
One of the most compelling features of his internship is the level of freedom he has during the workday. The teams of interns are released to complete their respective tasks after a brief meeting every morning. Henneberger can finish the work at his own pace while staying aware of how much needs to be done.
Along with other interns, Henneberger works on extra projects during his down time. These projects are aimed at helping the interns develop additional new skills as well as aiding the advisors in their work. He's learning how to set and moderate his own deadlines, which will help him in future business situations.
The successful individuals that Henneberger is working for have already inspired him to follow up with more finance-related careers. They are "amazing mentors," and he hopes to learn as much as he can from them before returning to Hamilton for his senior year. Hamilton offers students many outlets to follow their academic passions throughout the year and Henneberger participates in the Microfinance Club. He is also a member of the baseball team and captain of his intramural hockey team.
Henneberger is a graduate of North Shore High School (Glen Head, N.Y.).

South Americans have a unique style of playing - their attacking intent and flair make themselves a class apart.
South America has produced many stars and is one of the most football addicted continents. Now, I have compiled an eleven of the best South Americans in the Premier League and have employed the 4-3-3 formation.
Goalkeeper: Julio Cesar | QPR and Brazil
QPR haven't exactly had a good season, having got relegated, but a player like Julio Cesar deserves to stay at the top. With many stalwart performances, he is an excellent keeper with lots of experience with top clubs.
Right-back: Pablo Zabaleta | Manchester City and Argentina
The Argentinian has had an amazing season this year and is now the first-choice right-back for Manchester City. His speed and ability to contain a winger is valued highly at Manchester City. Now, once he gets more experience, he can become one of the best right-backs.
Centre-back: David Luiz | Chelsea and Brazil
The strong Chelsea man has been at the heart of defence and midfield and has been useful for Chelsea. He possesses the qualities of a good centre-back and may lead the Blues to further silverware.
Centre-back: Fabricio Coloccini | Newcastle United and Argentina
He has been one of the few reasons for Newcastle not being in the relegation zone, and last season was when he showed his true colours and captained his side to fifth position.
His ability to stay and mark a man is quite rare and should be treasured by Newcastle.
Left-back: Rafael | Manchester United and Brazil
Rafael was pushed out of the right-back role by Pablo Zabaleta for this squad, but surely deserves a left-back role? He certainly plays both equally well. Like Zabaleta, he can contain a winger with his speed and defensive talent. He is certainly required in Manchester United's plans.
Defensive-midfielder: Ramires | Chelsea and Brazil
To put it simply, Ramires is the definition of an engine. He runs tirelessly up and down the pitch, with his speed and he doesn't get exhausted. He has the pace, stamina and occasional eye for goal to make him a great player.
Left-wing: Philippe Coutinho | Liverpool and Brazil
The young Brazilian winger has impressed during his time at Liverpool, and has adapted extremely well to the English game. His partnerships with Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez are quite deadly; his nimbleness and speed are good assets to the Merseyside club.
Right-wing: Oscar | Chelsea and Brazil
Another young Brazilian in this squad, he has over performed in Europe and has found his form in the Premier League. His speed, crosses and (occasional headers) are important for Chelsea and they won't be letting go of him anytime soon.
Striker: Luis Suarez | Liverpool and Uruguay
The controversial Uruguayan is the driving force of Liverpool and without him they would be absolutely nowhere. This list would be incomplete without him.
Striker: Sergio Aguero | Manchester City and Argentina
A hero amongst Manchester City fans after his last-second goal against QPR last season. He hasn't been as good as last season, this term, but he is starting to peak with goals galore.
Striker: Carlos Tevez | Manchester City and Argentina
Another City player, he has had his fair share of controversy, but his talent and potential is still there. With his shots and speed, he is a predator for goals.

BOLINGBROOK — Mayor Bolingbrook Roger Claar looks headed for re-election, as there weren't any challengers to file petitions to run for mayor before the deadline Dec. 26, according to the office of the village clerk of Bolingbrook.
Any write-in candidates must file declaration of intent to run through the county clerk no later than Feb. 7.
Claar seeks his eighth term in office and adding to his record 26 years as mayor of Bolingbrook.
Joining him in re-election bids are Village Clerk Carol Penning, who seeks her seventh-consecutive term, and trustees Joseph Morelli and Michael Lawler.
Newcomer Maria Zarate joins the First Party in a bid for a trustee seat after Sandra Swinkunas announced she will not run for re-election.
Challenging Morelli, Lawler and Zarate for the three trustee seats will be newcomer Tim Dombrow.
Editor's Note: An earlier version of this story indicated that the First Party candidates running for trustee would be unopposed. In fact, a challenger — Tim Dombrow — filed his petition for candidacy for trustee before the Dec. 26 deadline.

ST. CHARLES – On the brink of war, violent outbreaks left the streets of Yugoslavia in ruins.
But Alen Osmanovic had already forged a love on those very streets that upturned pavement couldn't crack – a love for the sport of soccer.
"Soccer was all there was where I grew up," Osmanovic said. "Everybody played soccer. All the kids got together in the streets to play, without coaches or anything like that."
Osmanovic and his family fled to Germany when he turned 11 because the violence became too much. Germany was more than a place of refuge for Osmanovic, a new addition to the Tri-Cities Soccer Association Premier coaching staff. It was his first glimpse at organized soccer.
"I had developed a nice dribbling game in [present-day Bosnia]," Osmanovic said. "The organized game was so different. You had to learn your defensive responsibilities and play as a team. It was totally different. All I knew is that the sport fascinated me. I wanted to train and play every day. I couldn't get enough of it."
However, not even Osmanovic could have dreamed the career that would ensue.
"I grew up playing soccer and I watched it religiously with my grandfather," Osmanovic said. "He loved the game so much. He was always teaching me about it and the players. I remember watching my first World Cup being in 1986, I was only 6 years old, but I was mesmerized. Luckily, I had some talent and skill for the game."
Osmanovic has since endured a fruitful professional soccer career, including stints playing for FC 08 Homburg, where he won a Saarland Cup alongside teammate Miroslav Klose, as well as playing professionally in the United States as a member of the Milwaukee Wave and the Chicago Storm indoor teams.
While many highlights clutter Osmanovic's soccer resumé, he calls his "greatest" achievement graduating from Wisconsin-Parkside while under a soccer scholarship.
Osmanovic admits he is equally as excited for his most recent stop, TCSA.
"Every time I step on the soccer field and see the kids playing, my own memories come through my head," Osmanovic said. "It makes me feel childlike and enthusiastic. You want to teach those kids what you have already learned later in life. I want the kids to have as many advantages as they possibly could have."
TCSA director of human relations Jeff Durocher said Osmanovic's youth coaching experience – dating to 2001 – made Osmanovic a very attractive hire.
"A couple things that jumped out at me was the he played at virtually every level," Durocher said. "He played youth, college and pro but he really has good experience on the coaching side of the game. He is a really nice addition."
With TCSA's Premier program entering its fourth year, Durocher said Osmanovic will play a key role in the continued expansion of the program.
"In the Premier program's first year, there were five teams. In the second year there was 15, and in the third 22. This year, we expect nearly 30 teams," Durocher said. "I think [Osmanovic] will help us grow and even challenge our program to grow further. The future looks very bright."
The excitement surrounding TCSA's future is mutual.
"I don't want to sound cocky or anything like that, but I would like to tell the other clubs in the Tri-Cities area to watch out," Osmanovic said. "Our Premier program's just stacked with great coaches. Once all these kids have gone through the program, there are going to be college coaches and scouts knocking on our doors like crazy. For me, I feel like I always think, 'If I only knew that back then.' I want to share my lessons to these kids."
Osmanovic brings coaching talents to Tri-Cities soccer

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is set to name Darren Fletcher in his 25-man Champions League squad.
Clubs have to confirm their squads to UEFA on Monday. As he is battling to overcome a chronic bowel condition, there was some doubt as to whether Fletcher would be part of Manchester United's latest European assault.
However, after another encouraging outing for United's Under-21 side against Tottenham on Wednesday night, it is looking more likely Fletcher will be able to complete a successful return to first-team duties. And with places available due to the number of home-grown players in Ferguson's squad, Fletcher is set to make the cut.

Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid Earn Top Vehicle Safety Rating from NHTSA
By: PR Newswire
Jan. 23, 2013 12:01 AM
DEARBORN, Mich., Jan. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
The 2013 Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid received a top vehicle safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The Fusion and Fusion Hybrid received a five-star Overall Vehicle Score in NHTSA New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) testing, which combines vehicle performance in frontal and side-impact crash tests and resistance to rollover.
"The Fusion and Fusion Hybrid exemplify the new face of Ford vehicles and demonstrate Ford's commitment to safety in all its vehicles across the globe," said Steve Kenner, Global Director of the Ford Automotive Safety Office (ASO).
The new five-star safety award from NHTSA is in addition to the 2013 Fusion being named a Top Safety Pick+ from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) last month. The Top Safety Pick + designation is the highest rating the organization has for vehicle safety.
The all-new Fusion features the Personal Safety System™ with new safety belt technologies and front impact airbags.
The Personal Safety System™ is a network of components that work together to tailor the deployment of the front airbags during frontal collisions. The restraint control module (RCM) translates information collected by the front crash sensors, front outboard safety belt buckle switches, driver-seat track position and passenger seat weight sensor. Using this information, the RCM activates the safety belt pretensioners and determines how the dual-stage front airbags will deploy. This tailored airbag deployment is based upon system inputs received about the size, seat track position and safety belt usage of the front seat occupants.
The redesigned seat-mounted side airbags deploy lower in the pelvis area and incorporate new venting technology. The side airbag's venting technology takes into account the size of the occupant, and varies the pressure so smaller occupants receive a lower pressure.
The tunnel vent is lined up with the shoulder area of the occupant. On larger passengers, the shoulder engages the vent and keeps it from venting so the gas stays inside the airbag. On smaller passengers, the effect is just the opposite: Because the occupant's shoulder is below the vent, the gas vents out of the airbag.
The driver's airbag uses a reconfigured curve-shaped tether system that pulls in the lower section to create a pocket that help to lessen the impact of the airbag on the driver's chest and ribs in frontal crashes. Deploying at the same time is a driver's knee airbag.
Top fuel economy, driver assist technology
Fusion brings the broadest selection of fuel-efficient powertrains in the midsize car segment. Consumers have the choice of a pair of EcoBoost four-cylinder engines, a normally aspirated four-cylinder engine, an automatic start stop system to shut off the engine at stationary idle, front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive applications, and a choice between automatic and manually shifted six-speed transmissions.
Maneuvering parking lots and traveling open roadways becomes less stressful with Fusion's available sensor-based BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert. The system uses radar to identify and alert the driver if a vehicle is detected in the vehicle's blind spot. Cross-traffic alert provides audible and visual alerts if traffic is detected approaching from the sides, such as when backing out of a parking space.
Available Active Park Assist makes parallel parking virtually stress-free. With the press of a button, the system detects an available parallel parking space and automatically steers the vehicle into the space. Drivers control only the gas and brake pedals and transmission gear position.
Other driver assist technologies available on the Fusion include:

The app, appropriately called PS3 Model Detection, will tell you your PS3's System Target ID, Motherboard Revision, and BD-Laser Revision."
