this day keeps gettin better doesnt it
Bring back Punter! But seriously this is cray-cray, but in some ways he leaves on his own terms which is always good.
thought the **** would play in his 40s tbh, he looked like he was really enjoying his cricket as of late
He certainly is leaving on his own terms. Been the second best batsman this season, for Australia.
dear god, kill me. we are doomed beyond doomed in India and England now.
My Youtube cricket channels, thousands of gold old videos
Wow, that has come as a surprise.
How in the wide world are the Aussies going to replace him? Not the right time to go, to be honest.
~ Do you think I care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference ~
It is a real shock to see him go, I would have thought for sure that he would have hung around until the end of next summer. Still he deserves a lot of respect for going out on his own terms before all the talk of dropping him starts (ala with Ponting) and giving Khawaja, Maxwell and others a huge opportunity.
Perhaps somebody else could follow by example
Why? He looks like he enjoys cricket, he's not out of form and we still need his batting.
Pretty major day for departures.
RIP Craig Walsh (Craig) 1985-2012
RIP Hughesy 1988-2014. 63* for eternity.
FMD. Last time we had such an unestablished batting line up was the 1980s. It's time some of these young blokes really laid down a marker or two.
Step up, ****s.

#408. Sixty three not out forever.
That is a major surprise. Was just reading some article about his bowling workload being reduced.
A very good player and great attitude. Loved watching him play.
Also, I would like to think he'd scheduled this announcement before the news of Greig's death came through. If not, his timing is pretty unfortunate tbh.

|Elias Puchner
|Richard Anderson
A group of researchers at the School of Physics and Astronomy are working to uncover how cells and their signaling networks detect and respond to stimuli. Elias Puchner is new faculty member in the area of experimental biological physics. Through his research he intends to provide "a nano-scale view of cell communication."
Puchner says,"I find the ability of a cell to act as a sensor absolutely fascinating." "For example, chemotactic cells (those responsible for movement in response to chemical stimuli) can sense a gradient of molecules.
In general, cells process signals through networks, acting almost like electronic circuits, to control the behavior of the cell in response to the signal it receives." In the case of chemotactic cells this means either moving toward helpful material like food or away from potentially hurtful material from the higher concentration of molecules.
The group, which currently consists of six members and brings together the expertise from undergraduates, graduate students and the postdoc Elizabeth Smith is currently setting up a lab to do super resolution microscopy at the single molecule level. This is a fairly new technique that received the 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. "The optical resolution of traditional microscopy is held back by the diffraction limit (about half the wavelength of light) which means that objects less than about 200-300 nm cannot be resolved," he says. This is one of the biggest challenges of Puchner's research in that the molecular structures he studies are small (less than 80 nm or about 1000 times thinner than a human hair) and densely packed such that they can be located but not resolved with conventional optical microscopy.
Super resolution microscopy allows for visualization of these molecular structures by using pulses of light to sparsely switch individual fluorophores to their fluorescent state, allowing the user to localize their positions and to study structures much smaller than the diffraction limit. One specific way that super resolution microscopy achieves this activation of fluorophores is through photoswitchable dyes. These dyes allow physicists to finely tune the activation rate, allowing densely packed structures to be viewed. In addition, the motion of individual proteins can be tracked resulting in dynamic insights into molecular processes.
The molecular biology portion of the new research lab will be equipped to grow and label cells so that they can be genetically manipulated for observation. The process will take genes from fluorescent corrals and insert them into the yeast genome so that the cell will automatically produce the fluorescent corral protein attached to a protein of interest. Yeast cells have the advantage of growing fast, being robust and easy to genetically manipulate, with one further unexpected advantage: "It always smells like a bakery when you work with yeast cells." Eventually, Puchner will transfer these techniques to mammalian cells, which are more biomedically relevant. "We will start to investigate these processes in yeast cells, but obviously it is much more useful to study mammalian cells in order to study disease."
It is also possible to use cell activation mechanisms for therapeutic purposes. In his previous research, Puchner applied imaging techniques in immune T-cells to characterize a new type of receptor that can be externally switched on and off. Such remotely controlled therapeutic T-Cells could be extremely powerful in that they could be finely tuned by a drug and eventually be used in cancer therapy.
Puchner says that understanding how signal cascades are activated is a first step towards re-engineering and manipulating them. Being able to manipulate signaling processes opens up a range of possibilities, some of which sound like science fiction. "There are optogenetic tools that allow researchers to artificially cluster signaling proteins in various cell types by attaching cryptochrome proteins from plants. Structures in plants that sense blue light do so by condensing themselves. This action triggers directional growth towards the light source." Puchner says that they could conceivably cut out and amplify the light-sensitive condensing gene, take it to a different organism and it will condense in response to light, causing the proteins to cluster. "Since the activity of many signaling proteins is sensitive to their degree of clustering, we should be able to externally control the cell's behavior with light."

Senior Erika Barnes, on singles win: "It took a while to get going today, but once I won the first set tiebreaker, I just kept rolling in the second set. It was nice to get a win under my belt today."
Barnes, on tournament: "These tournaments are definitely a grind because you have a lot of matches and a lot time to sit around and think about them. I am proud of the way the team has pushed through these fall tournaments and gotten some good results."
Barnes, on Regionals: "As a senior, this is the last time I am going to play in this tournament. That is true of the other seniors here as well so we definitely want to do well and leave on a good note. Tournaments like this do not come around that often so you have to try and perform your best."

All switches are preset for specific cut-on and cut-out pressures at the factory, so be sure to order the exact OEM part number your manual calls for, or make sure the specs are identical to your original if you do not have a part number to order by. The major brands are Furnas (Hubbell), SquareD, Condor and Huanli. Most have either a single port or four-port manifold to attach a safety relief valve, pressure gauge or an air regulator.

Anastasia was born in 1979, at the age of ten.She's been around ever since, and she's only thirteen now. I never get tired of writing about her and her family. Katherine Krupnik, her mother, reminds me of myself.
Sam was born when Anastasia was ten, and for a long time he existed only in the books about her. But kids liked him. Maybe he reminded them of their own little brothers. So at the request of young readers, I gave Sam his own series.
Caroline and J.P. Tate are so much like real kids in real families: a bickering sister-and-brother pair, with a long-suffering single mom. They live in New York City, but in one book they spend a summer with their dad in Iowa. In truth, the Tates could exist anywhere.
Mrs. Pidgeon's second grade has one student who is, shall we say, somewhat unusual. New to the school in October, by Thanksgiving she has completely entranced the entire class. And there's a whole school year yet to come
Each of these is an all-by-itself book, not part of a series. They take you from Denmark to West Virginia to Boston, - and many other places - and three of them come from my own life. (See if you can figure out which three!)
Anastasia's tenth year has some good things, like falling in love and really getting to know her grandmother, and some bad things, like finding out about an impending baby brother.
Sam's adventures, some of which also occur in the books about Anastasia, are warm and life-affirming; they are related with humorous affection, without a trace of condescension.
When their mother starts to date the mystery man on the fifth floor, who has been instructed by his agent to "eliminate the children" by the first of May, eleven-year-old Caroline and her older brother figure they're targeted to be the victims of a savage crime.
At the age of twelve, Jonas, a young boy from a seemingly utopian, futuristic world, is singled out to receive special training from The Giver, who alone holds the memories of the true joys and pain of life.
There's never been anyone like Gooney Bird Greene at Watertower Elementary School. What other new kid comes to school wearing pajamas and cowboy boots one day and a polka-dot t-shirt and tutu on another? Gooney Bird has to sit right smack in the middle of the class because she likes to be in the middle of everything. She is the star of story time and keeps her teacher and classmates on the edge of their seats with her "absolutely true" stories.
Mouse Mistress Hildegarde must supervise, organize, and protect the entire colony of 220 mice who live within the walls of Saint Bartholemew's....not an easy task, especially when her arch-enemy Lucretia tries to undermine her every move.
Twelve-year-old Anastasia is horrified at her family's decision to move from their city apartment to a house in the suburbs.
In this second book about Anastasia Krupnik's younger brother, Sam concocts a perfume made of his mother's favorite smells to honor her request for only homemade gifts for her birthday.

Much can change in the next four weeks, but the clear 2012 NFL Most Valuable Player frontrunners are Denver's Peyton Manning and New England's Tom Brady — the usual suspects.
Four-time winner Manning, with a new team and coming off a year lost to neck surgery, and two-time MVP Brady, who orchestrates the NFL's most-potent offense, remain the very best at making their teams better.
Consideration should go to the quarterbacks of the 11-1 teams, Atlanta's Matt Ryan and Houston's Matt Schaub, as well as 2011 winner, Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers.
There is a Mike Trout-like excitement about Washington rookie Robert Griffin III, but Indianapolis' Andrew Luck has won two more games despite inheriting a poorer team, and with a higher degree of difficulty (Coach Chuck Pagano's illness). Both are good, but their MVP time is not now.
The Game of the Week, Baltimore (9-3) at Washington (6-6): Every game is a playoff game for Redskins now, but Ravens are most under-rated 9-3 team. Winner: Ravens. Fantasy football note: Redskins WR Pierre Garcon back up to speed.
The Game of the Weak, N.Y. Jets (5-7) at Jacksonville (2-10): Mark Sanchez keeps his job, for now, but Chad Henne still making his case for Jaguars. Winner: Jaguars. FF note: Jaguars WR Cecil Shorts III definitely a keeper.
Dallas (6-6) at Cincinnati (7-5): Bengals have a bad habit of losing at home (3-3), but not this one. Winner: Bengals. FF note: Andy Dalton-A.J. Green combo will thrive.
St. Louis (5-6-1) at Buffalo (5-7): Rams need to win three left on road for playoff shot, must start here. Winner: Rams. FF note: Rams WR Chris Givens, the steal of the draft, should score vs. Bills.
Philadelphia (3-9) at Tampa Bay (6-6): Nick Foles is Eagles QB rest of way; 3-13 likely. Winner: Buccaneers. FF note: Who's had more Bucs impact, rookie RB Doug Martin or rookie Coach Greg Schiano?
Atlanta (11-1) at Carolina (3-9): Panthers DE Greg Hardy's enthusiasm adds to Atlanta motivation. Winner: Falcons. FF note: RB Jacquizz Rodgers might get more touches with Michael Turner (elbow) slowed.
Chicago (8-4) at Minnesota (6-6): Bears minus MLB Brian Urlacher, Vikings sans WR Percy Harvin. Winner: Bears. FF note: Vikings RB Adrian Peterson can't beat Chicago by himself, but he'll try in quest for 2,000.
Tennessee (4-8) at Indianapolis (8-4): Loss of G Steve Hutchinson, T David Stewart cripples Titans. Winner: Colts. FF note: Rams made mistake cutting Colts WR Donnie Avery in 2011.
San Diego (4-8) at Pittsburgh (7-5): Ben Roethlisberger returns in time to lead rout. Winner: Steelers. FF note: WR Antonio Brown returned last week, tuned up for Big Ben targets.
Kansas City (2-10) at Cleveland (4-8): Must-win if Browns players want Pat Shurmur return. Winner: Browns. FF note: K.C.'s Peyton Hillis faces former team with chip on his shoulder.
Miami (5-7) at San Francisco (8-3-1): 49ers just glad to be done with Rams. Winner: 49ers. FF note: 49ers' Ted Ginn Jr. overdue for a return TD; had one of each in 2011
Arizona (4-8) at Seattle (7-5): Seahawks + home = more Cardinals suffering. Winner: Seahawks. FF note: Seahawks WR Golden Tate a flex option, at least.
New Orleans (5-7) at N.Y. Giants (7-5): Past time for Giants to flash traditional December form. Winner: Giants. FF note: Saints' Drew Brees 4-0 vs. Giants, with 11 TDs, no picks.
Detroit (4-8) at Green Bay (8-4): Ryan Grant return reinforces Packers run game. Winner: Packers. FF note: Lions' Matthew Stafford threw for 520 yards, 5 TDs in Jan. 1 loss at Lambeau.
Houston (11-1) at New England (9-3): Patriots 10-1 in past 11 MNF outings. Winner: Patriots. FF note: Cornerback Johnathan Joseph (groin/hamstring) has missed past two, and Texans need him against Tom Brady & Co.
Bloom picks record: 126-65-1

Thompson's paintings swirl off the wall
Painter Bill Thompson, who for a long time leaned toward sculpture with the curvaceous surfaces of his paintings, has now moved his work irrevocably into three dimensions. Even so, his sculptures, now adorning the walls at Barbara Krakow Gallery, pivot on painterly concerns of color and light. Now that they've burst out of the picture frame, though, they've lost something.
Thompson discovered a long time ago that automotive paint works differently from oil paint. There's a gloss and sparkle to it, a translucency that gives you the feeling you're not looking at a color, but into it. Although the sleek surfaces of his new sculptures look monochromatic, he applies up to 20 layers in a variety of hues. Light plays within their coats, so that a powder blue winks out in the reflections from "68," a shimmying droplet of lavender. The colors — minty green, sapphire, Velveeta orange — are not shy. They invite you to dance.
The forms, too, are seductive — too obviously seductive. They scoop, swoop, and swell. Thompson's earlier, more rectangular works insinuated that great tides of color threatened to surge out of the frame. Now that they've escaped, they're shapelier, but they've lost the tension of confinement.
The artist attempts to recapture it. He remembers the hard outlines of a painting in "Skiff," a glittery blue piece that looks like a plump Nike swoosh, with a crisp edge along the middle. That doesn't do the trick; such lines recall details on cars, and Thompson can't afford to venture more in that direction.
More effective: "Stalk," a vertical, sinuous spring-green piece suspended in a corner. That placement, in effect, turns the gallery's architecture into the picture frame, except instead of straining to escape, the work invades the structure, as if Jack's giant beanstalk has erupted on Newbury Street and broken into the gallery.
Thompson could do more along these lines; "Stalk" and another corner piece, the black, comma-shaped "Skew," feel tentative; each clings to its formal identity as a discrete object, almost hesitating to imply something beyond. His work, with its luster and curves, is almost too appealing. He needs to incorporate edges, real or metaphoric, that give these pieces something to push against. The architecture is a beginning; he could push harder.
Like many painters, Thompson has an ulterior life as a printmaker. He has been working with master printer James Stroud at Center Street Studio for 20 years, and the fruit of some of their efforts can be seen at the President's Gallery at Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
The show tracks Thompson's formal interests, beginning with the grid, and then letting loose with more undulating shapes, moving from spare blacks and beiges into eye-grabbing color. Who could have predicted that the artist behind the 1994 woodcut "Walk-up," all black wood-grain cut up by a white zigzag, would have come up with the sexy baubles on view now at Barbara Krakow Gallery? It isn't until 1999, in the aquatint "Reformed Square," that the curves begin to come in.
As with paint, Thompson experiments with how pigment mixes. For the 2009 triptych "GYRO," he cut copper plates into jaunty biomorphic squibs, inked each with one color, then rolled on another. The forms appear monochromatic, but in each of these panels — hot orange, kelly green, and purple — they darken at the edges, suggesting volume and luminosity.
These vivacious later prints sparkle more than the early ones, but Thompson's exquisite attention to surface and texture is evident throughout.
Isolation and solitude
Elizabeth Livingston's meticulously painted realist scenes at Alpha Gallery tend to depict women alone, raising themes of isolation, but also the dreaminess of relaxation in solitude. "The House on the Hill" falls under the first category; a nighttime narrative, with the sky pitch black behind a white house. The porch light shines. A shaft of light falls before another building, and here a woman stands, arms crossed, looking directly at us. Does she sense an intruder? Is it the viewer?
In several paintings, Livingston unfurls vibrant patterns. "Hurricane" depicts a woman in a floral nightgown lying upon a bed with a floral spread. The two textile designs happily clash as the woman sleeps. In "Marshall Farms" the patterns come in an abundance of blossoms, as a woman bends to smell a single bloom.
These patterned paintings are riotous; it's as if Livingston feels the urge to carpet her picture plane with their painstaking detail and brilliant tones, but then remembers that she's a figure painter. The figures don't quite fit. They're often becalmed, but I'd like to see more tension between figure and pattern.
In several caringly rendered small-scale paintings, Livingston works in black-and-white, as if retreating from all that dazzling color. But the patterns lurk: In "Maria," she paints an older woman sitting half in the dark, the flower-patterned upholstery on her chair vivid behind her. This little painting pulls off a more tantalizing balance between pattern and person. Because pattern dominates other paintings, here, it simply, and effectively, reads as a threat.

Greene County will chose an alternative water system that will use ammonia to treat water instead of chlorine.
SNOW HILL � When Greene County officials opted to provide an alternative water source through Greene Utilities Commission a few years back, it was clear there would be a number of changes to be made in treating the public drinking water. One of them would be an increased workload for water treatment employees.
The county�s decision required switching from using chlorine to treat the water to an ammonia system, which produces chloramines. But the state-required testing must not only be done 365 days a year, but takes all day versus half a day, Public Works Director David Jones said.
�There�s not enough time in an eight-hour day to do the things we need to do,� he said.
The result is longer hours and the accumulation of overtime for three employees. And with the next phase of alternative water construction recently approved, two more booster stations are expected to be built within the next year and a half � adding additional testing hours, Jones said.
�It�s more than doubled our time to check these water samples,� he said.
Currently, there are 10 wells and three booster stations spread out around the county.
Jones said his department didn�t realize just how much extra work would evolve from using ammonia instead of chlorine.
�We do enough to stay in compliance,� he said, �but we need to do more than that.�
An additional problem is how corrosive chloramines are to the system, he said, and there are more frequent repairs, which need to be made immediately.
The department has three full-time water treatment operators, but one of them also takes care of distribution and billing. Jones asked county commissioners Monday night for a part-time and one more full-time employee.
�(The employees) are running overtime hours,� he said, �and I�ve got people taking paperwork home to get it done.�
Jones also asked the board for wage compensation for his employees who have upgraded their training and received additional certification. The board tabled the matter to consider their options.
Commissioner Bennie Heath said he wasn�t surprised by Jones� requests, as he was aware of the issues with the water treatment conversion.
�It�s a very serious situation,� he said. �I�d like to give it more thought before I make a statement.�

With the 2013 SEMA show just around the corner, we're not surprised to see Chrysler's Mopar accessories division pull the cover off a handful of the 20 one-off vehicles it plans on displaying at the Las Vegas-based trade show, including a new 2014 Jeep Cherokee.
2014 Chrysler 300S
The S-grade 300 is already a sinister yet stylish twist on Chrysler's large sedan, but this "Moparized" variant takes things a little bit further. The 2014 300S wears Phantom Black tri-coat paint, while its 13-bar grille is enveloped with a unique black surround. The car utilizes a custom lowering kit, and rides upon 20-inch wheels cribbed from the 2013 Chrysler 300C John Varvatos Limited Edition, albeit painted in a unique bronze hue. Inside, Katzkin leather trim reigns supreme, as seating surfaces and door bolsters are wrapped in bisque-colored hides. Seat backs are embossed with the familiar "Imported from Detroit" slogan, while stock brightwork is replaced with satin black and bronze trim.
2014 Jeep Cherokee Trail Carver
We're not surprised to see Jeep feature its latest vehicular launch – the 2014 Jeep Cherokee – at this year's SEMA show, and we're not surprised to see it pump up the 2014 Jeep Cherokee's off-road credentials. Built from the "Trail Rated" 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, the Trail Carver concept is painted in a unique Auburn Pearl hue and accented with both low-gloss black and low-gloss granite crystal accents. Hood and roof graphics feature topographical details, and are bordered with Crush Orange accents, which match the tow hooks. The roof basket up top is a conceptual design, and incorporates orange fabric-wrapped side accent panels and a front wind deflector.
Inside, the tricked-out 2014 Jeep Cherokee receives Amaretto leather seat surfaces, and matching leather trim on the center console lid/ armrest. Top and bottom sections of the steering wheel are also trimmed in hide, while interior trim accents are custom painted for the show car. The Trail Carver also rides on larger, more aggressive tires than a stock 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, and uses both a cold air intake and a cat-back exhaust system offered in the Jeep/ Mopar accessories catalog.
2014 Fiat 500L Adventurer
The 500L isn't quite as off-road capable, but the 2014 Fiat 500L Adventurer concept does at least attempt to lend Fiat's oh-so-cute-ute a little bit of machismo. The bright white body paint is accented with wheel flares and rockers painted satin black, while the roof and mirror caps are painted Vibrance Orange. The Fiat 500L Adventurer wears Mopar accessory roof rails and a cargo basket, but the beefy 18-inch wheels are conceptual designs. Inside, the Adventurer dons black perforated suede leather seats and pearl leather seatbacks. Orange accents are everywhere inside the car, including speaker grilles, trim bezels galore, and the steering wheel badge. Mopar provides the surprisingly stylish seatback coat hanger, all-weather floor mats, a pedal kit, cold air intake, and custom exhaust.
2014 Ram Sun Chaser
Vibrance Orange also makes an appearance on this bright 2014 Ram 1500 Quad Cab concept, which Chrysler describes as being "dune ready." Virtually every exterior– virtually every exterior surface is coated in the paint, although it's contrasted with Brilliant Black accents on the bumpers, rockers, and lower doors. The truck rides on conceptual 17-inch wheels with orange beadlocks, and also boasts orange tow hooks, and black tubular side step rails.
The Sun Chaser notably incorporates a conceptual roof rack design with rear supports anchored in the pickup bed's side rails. The system is designed to support a longboard, but hooks on the sides of the rails allegedly accommodate another four (shorter) boards. A neat shower kit, which consists of a removable tank, pump, and shower head, tuck neatly within the RamBox storage compartments. Another neat conceptual feature is built into the back of the tailgate – flip up the inner panel, and you'll find a pair of seats and cupholders, perfect for – what else? – tailgate parties.
2014 Mopar Dodge Durango
Well, what's this? Chrysler's press release makes no mention of this tricked-out 2014 Dodge Durango, but photos popped up on the press site nonetheless. A Chrysler spokesman describes the sport utility as a "Mopar-modified Dodge Durango with a modified hood, paint job, and a red interior." We'd also hazard a guess that the red-on-black aluminum wheels aren't quite normal fare on the Dodge Durango, nor is the rear diffuser. We do, however, dig how the hood stripes wrap into the roof rails before draping down over the D-pillars and enveloping the backlight.

Retrospect Backup Software For Windows: Error 505 Backup Client Reserved
As noted in a previous article I was tasked by a client with figuring out why their Retrospect Backup software for Windows was not working properly. Since I was not familiar with Retrospect I had to troubleshoot from the beginning. I started troubleshooting on the Windows 2003 R2 server running Retrospect and was able to easily see the log files showing the errors backing up one of the companies Exchange servers. When I attempted to manually backup a single mailbox on the Microsoft Exchange server I was receiving the same errors. Below I describe the Retrospect backup error and then explain step by step how I was able to resolve the error.

Toward the end of the spirited bankruptcy hearing that led to Hostess Brands' liquidation, a quiet voice conferenced into the White Plains, N.Y., courtroom piped up. It was a lawyer representing Blommer's chocolate, which coats famous snacks like Ding Dongs and Donettes.
With the bankruptcy judge near ruling that Hostess could sell everything to the highest bidder, she had a plea: that Blommer's could buy back its chocolate before Hostess sold it to a third party. (Judge Robert Drain said Blommer's could buy it back, if it paid the most.)
While the battle over the chocolate vats drew quiet laughs throughout the courtroom, the reality was unmistakable for Hostess's situation: literally, everything must go. (Read More: Hostess Lays Off 15,000 After Judge Approves Liquidation.)
A harsh reality for a name like Hostess, whose products like Twinkies, Wonder Bread and Ho Ho's (also covered by Blommer's chocolate) have become ingrained in American memory. A swelling debt load and a protracted battle with a key union forced Hostess, unable to produce its iconic snack products, to liquidate.
While court proceedings over executive payments and bankruptcy nuances continue Thursday, it will be weeks before Hostess will see initial, court-approved bids settled for its various businesses. (Read More: How Hostess Failed: Hedge Funds vs. Unions.)
Hostess advisers are hoping, in that time, they can capitalize on the cultural attachment to the brand, if not the financial health. Josh Scherer, the banker at Perella Weinberg Partners leading the auctions of Hostess brands, told the courtroom he believed he could fetch over $1 billion dollars for the businesses—roughly half of their aggregate $2.4 billion in revenues.
"I'm holding him to that," Hostess chairman and CEO Greg Rayburn said of Scherer's claim.
Many consumers hope that a buyer will emerge for the iconic Twinkies. While a small percentage of the overall pie, Twinkies produce $100 million in revenues for the company—so that price tag could chip away at Hostess's debt to creditors. (Read More: No More Twinkies? It. Can't. Happen. In. America.)
Among the parties interested in parts of Hostess: Mexico's Grupo Bimbo, which could look to purchase some of the snack cakes businesses, Southeastern bakery company Flowers Foods, or private equity firms like Sun Capital.
The Irving, Texas-based company employed 18,500 people and operated more than 500 retail bakeries, featuring the dozens of Hostess products popular in school lunches. In liquidating, Hostess eliminated 15,000 jobs and kept the remaining onboard to help wind down the company.
Still, Scherer was hopeful some jobs would be kept. During the hearing, he recalled the visit of a potential buyer to the Drake's Cakes plant in Wayne, N.J., where roughly 200 people worked. The buyer, which remained unnamed, had one big concern: making sure he had enough people to run the place.
"We're going to sell everything we can, and as quickly as possible," Rayburn said of the company's plants, trucks, formulas—and chocolate.
It would seem the kitchen sink could be included.

Explore the mysterious Tropical Garden in Hamilton
A lush tropical garden has opened in Hamilton that will transport visitors to far-flung tropical spaces from around the world.
1 / 2
Visitors to Hamilton Gardens are being transported to warmer climates where lush tropical spaces filled with bromeliads, palms and exotic orchids flourish; after the Gardens' newest garden was recently opened.
Paying homage to temperate climate gardeners who have tried to recreate the mysterious beauty of tropical landscapes since the 16th Century, the Tropical Garden was officially opened in early-February.
A vertical garden wall covered with thousands of tropical plants housed in 6000 "pockets" has been set above a ravine, which is a key feature of the latest addition to the Gardens' Fantasy Garden Collection. Visitors can walk along a jungle path, across a boardwalk before crossing the bridge where the vertical wall can be viewed.
Hamilton Gardens Director Peter Sergel says the Tropical Garden concept is relatively simple: "It features plants that look tropical but which will survive in a Waikato climate. They create the impression of a lush tropical garden but in fact are hardier species than those found in steamy tropical locations."
The vertical gardens are becoming increasingly popular in Europe, but uncommon in New Zealand, Mr Sergel says. The vertical gardens are attached to a block wall which runs through the centre of the garden. "Each of the vertical garden pockets holds a plant and they are fed by quite a complex drip irrigation system. The challenge of green walls is keeping them watered."
Orchids from Australia, bamboos from Asia and birds of paradise have been planted. Roughly 200 species feature in the garden, with more than 6000 individual specimens planted. The Garden was first mooted in 1999 and construction was started in 2011.
Hamilton Gardens
Hamilton Gardens is a conceptual garden based in the Waikato that explores the context, history and meaning of gardens through time, and from around the world. It is internationally recognised for its unique concept and is the Waikato region's most popular tourist destination.
Only five minutes drive from Hamilton's CBD, the Gardens is open 7 days a week during daylight hours and entry and parking is free. Mobility scooters, wheelchairs and pushchairs are available to hire and guided tours are available.

Colorado's Olga Little ran burro-train deliveries to mountain miners
For 30 years, Olga Little, the west's only known woman "jack-whacker" ran a burro train in the La Plata mountain range in Colorado. She operated her jack train out of Durango carrying supplies to miners in high and remote regions where many veteran men packers refused to go.
Olga began her career by driving livery teams taking tourists into the mountains for fishing, and occasionally delivering groceries to the mines.
In the spring of 1909, when she was 16, floods washed out several of the roads and most of the bridges in the area. The Ruby Mine up Junction Creek needed supplies and Olga agreed to take them.
On the way back she was met by a superintendent of another mine, the Neglected. He contracted with her on the spot, launching her career.
Soon she began packing loads on the return trips from the mines. She brought down ore to the smelters, carried dismantled mine machinery and once, transported the corpse of a miner. On the way up, she usually took food, lumber, drilling tools and dynamite.
Between 1909 and 1947, she packed supplies into practically every mine in the area.
There were a few mishaps. Once her horse slipped on an icy trail and fell over the shoulder of a thousand-foot slope. She found her horse scraped and shaken but uninjured in a deep pocket of snow at the bottom.
Another time, while going through Eagle Pass, she lost three burros loaded with crates of dynamite. The fall killed the burros, but only broke open the crates and scattered the sticks of dynamite.
When news of her unusual occupation became known, Olga Little was interviewed for magazines, newspapers, radio shows and special appearances.
In 1939, she and a string of burros appeared in front of the Denver Post building, where she gave a demonstration of packing.
Central City invited her to bring her burros to the summer festival, where the packed jacks were tethered in front of the Teller House. And for years she participated in Durango's Spanish Trails Fiesta parades.
On October 29, 1958, Olga Little became the subject of Ralph Edward's television show, "This is Your Life."


text: To survive childhood with an abusive alcoholic father and a brother who was clearly favored and often pitted against him, Arnold Schwarzenegger escaped into action movies and plotted his move to America. He beefed up through bodybuilding, won an unprecedented five Mr. Universe and six Mr. Olympia titles, immigrated in 1968 and propelled himself and the sport into the mainstream with the 1977 documentary "Pumping Iron." The Austrian Oak's ascension to the top of the box office in the '80s and '90s was just as impressive with blockbusters like the "Conan" and "Terminator" franchises, "Twins," "Predator." "The Running Man," "True Lies." Off-screen, his American dream continued as he married into the Kennedy clan when he took Maria Shriver hand in 1986, had four children (Katherine, Christina, Patrick and Christopher) with her and became the governor of California in 2003. The Republican governator won his reelection bid in 2006 although the second term ran far less smoothly. A few months after leaving office in 2011, he and Shriver separated after he admitted to fathering son Joseph with their maid. He confirmed in his 2012 memoir "Total Recall" that he'd also cheated with his "Red Sonja" costar Brigitte Nielsen while living with Shriver in the '80s. "The Expendables," a film filled with other old leading men who can still kick your butt, provided him a clever and successful reentry into showbusiness. He is set to reprise Conan in 2014 and do a fifth "Terminator."

Yet Another 'Rogue Site' List Proposed, This Time With YouTube Right On Top
from the wouldn't-it-be-simpler-if-YOU-just-got-off-the-internet? deptCharlie, over at the MusicTechPolicy blog, asks a rather simple question: How many DMCA notices are too many? Specifically, he asks this question of an attorney representing YouTube:
I asked him a question that I now feel very safe in asking-does a million notice and takedowns sent to one service in 12-18 months constitute "red flag" knowledge? This isn't speculation anymore-YouTube must have received at least a million DMCA notices by now. Even if the site has a repeat infringer policy, should they still get a safe harbor if they seem to attract significant numbers of repeat infringers?Charlie's point is that if a significant amount of DMCA notices are filed against a certain site, it should have its safe harbors removed. The YouTube attorney responded:
Well, you see, it depends on how large the service is.Charlie doesn't like this answer, but the answer is fair. Yes, a million DMCA notices is a lot, but let's take a look at YouTube's stats. 48 hours of content are uploaded every minute. If we are generous and assume that each 48 hours is broken down into 10-minute clips, it means that YouTube is receiving 288 clips per minute, or 414,720 clips per day. A week's worth of activity would be 2,903,040 clips at 10 minutes per. So, a million takedown notices in the course of a week would indicate that 34% of the videos were infringing.
But Charlie is asking about a 12-18 month period, which would involve anywhere from 150,958,080 - 226,437,120 clips. (Again, we're still assuming 10 minutes per. The actual numbers would be much, much higher.) At this point, the percentage of DMCA notices filed versus total uploads slips to 0.66% - 0.44%. Looking at these numbers, one would assume that YouTube is actually doing very well when it comes to handling infringing uploads, especially when you consider that more than 120 million videos have been claimed by Content ID and that YouTube is scanning over 100 years of video every day.
But that's not the way Charlie sees it. All he sees is millions of hours of infringement, monetized by Google:
So if the "service" does a really good job of creating lots and lots of infringement but only gets caught a small percentage of the time, then that doesn't mean that they "knew or should have known" that infringing activity was going on. Even if that small percentage was over a million copyright owners who decided to send notices.First off, Charlie misstates the nature of the "knew or should have known" question when it comes to copyright infringement. That phrase is only directed at specific instances of works, rather than general knowledge across the site. Of course YouTube knows that some users on the site infringe, but that's meaningless. If a company lost their safe harbors just because some users infringed, generally, then there would be no safe harbors. Just because a tiny percentage of videos on YouTube get DMCA takedown notices (which YouTube is notoriously fast in then taking down), doesn't mean the entire site is a rogue site... unless you're Charlie and are looking for reasons to mislead the public about YouTube.
Separately, "creating lots and lots of infringement?" As far as I know, users create the content and YouTube polices it. Charlie is trying very hard to drop culpability for the users' actions into Google's hands, despite the fact that YouTube, as was stated above, is scanning 100 years of video every day in a rather successful effort to minimize infringement. It's also monetizing 3 billion videos per week and working with "every major US network broadcaster, movie studio and record label" to keep its Content ID reference files up to date. In other words, YouTube has one of, if not the most aggressive systems of any online service provider in not just stopping any infringement it can find (sometimes, in fact, being too aggressive), but also presenting options to copyright holders, creating new monetization streams that were impossible before to artists.
Charlie has a solution, though, to deal with the Googles and YouTubes of the world, who are raking in big money thanks to the creative "work product of others that they can't hold a candle to."
Wouldn't it be more efficient for an artist -who wishes to enjoy all the extraordinary benefits the first decade of the 21st century is bringing to them- if there were some kind of ranking system for the really bad guys? A ranking system for copyright infringers based on DMCA notices sent?I'm assuming Charlie means by total number of notices sent, rather than by any other indicator of ongoing and willful infringement, like a ratio or percentage -- despite the fact that a total number is meaningless in terms of noting how well a company deals with the issues. Instead, it looks like he's proposing another form of "rogue site" list, only one that is pointlessly targeting one of the most heavily traveled sites on the web; a site that hosts millions of non-infringing videos and is incredibly effective at blocking infringement.
All well and good, I suppose. He's got a take-charge attitude. After all, if you want something done, you've got to do it yourself...
There's actually nothing that would stop artists from developing such a service...Or not.
...aside from money, of course, and time taken away from diligently monitoring the Internet for other "citizens of the 21st century" who are infringing their work. You would think that the Copyright Office would want to maintain it, too, so they could see how effectively the DMCA notice and takedown system was working. Or maybe even the Congress might be interested?Oh. I see. Someone else needs to take care of this for you, too. Not only do the copyright maximalists expect their critics to come up with business models for them, but they also need someone else to red flag anything hinting of infringement solely for their benefit. The rest of the internet, these rogue companies "free-riding" on the backs of "creatives," need to be held accountable for their actions. And there's no one better suited to slapping a damning scarlet "R" right across YouTube's billion dollar chest than "someone else."
But not just any "someone else." This needs the touch of a Congressman. That way when web surfers wander into YouTube, there will be a DHS logo informing them that the road ahead is fraught with infringement, possible child porn and steeped in the blood of dying "creatives." Or maybe no one will get any further than the logo as the site has been seized due to a complaint about 0.66% of EOY 2011 Uploads.
Breaking it all down, it goes like this. YouTube hosts infringing content (current percentage unknown). YouTube also receives many DMCA notices. Therefore, the government should step in and slap some sort of arbitrary rating system into place solely to benefit the creative industries that are too busy to do this sort of thing themselves. And this should all be implemented because one million is a Very Large Number. Is that about right?

Here's a new twist on an old idea.Dell US announced today that it was extending a zero per cent interest, 36-month financing deal from its high-end EqualLogic disk arrays to laptops and servers suitable for small and medium businesses. But, rather than just providing financing across its whole product line, Dell is only offering the deal on its most energy efficient gear.
Specifically, the financing is only available on Latitude E5500, E6400, and E6500 laptops and PowerEdge 1950 and 2950 Energy Smart servers. The Energy Smart designs use low-power, high-efficiency parts and carry a price premium (usually around 10 per cent), and over time, they more than pay for that premium in electricity bill savings.
The deal Dell is offering is a zero per cent lease deal with a 36 month term and a $1 payout for the gear acquired that comes due to Dell at the end of the lease. Dell is offering quarterly billing for the lease deal instead of monthly (which means less paperwork) and is only running the deal for a relatively short time: until May 1. That's when Dell's first quarter of fiscal 2010 will end, so Dell is trying to pump up the quarter and steer small and medium businesses that might be having trouble getting financing or are hesitant to spend their cash to not only get new gear, but still invest in energy efficient products.
Dell is also offering a fair market value leases of various term lengths with 90 days of no payments to try to get customers to buy gear. This financing deal also runs out on May 1 and has no restrictions on what iron can be leased under it. Dell Business Credit, a revolving line of credit that companies can set up with Dell Financial Services, is also available to customers and has rates as low as 9.99 per cent, according to the company.
Hewlett-Packard, which also sells a lot of iron to SMBs that are now skittish thanks to the economy, announced its own zero per cent financing deal in late January. One HP financing deal - a zero per cent, $1 payout lease with a twelve-month term - is restricted to ProLiant tower, rack, and blade servers and entry and midrange Integrity servers. Customers can spend between $1,500 and $150,000. Only pre-configured PCs and laptops can be financed. A longer 36-month deal has a fair market value payout instead of a $1 payout.

GENEVA (AP) — FIFA opted for GoalControl on Tuesday as its goal-line technology system for the Confederations Cup and 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The German camera-based, ball-tracking system was the last of four contenders to win a FIFA contract that starts with the Confederations Cup in June.
FIFA chose GoalControl-4D over three rival projects: GoalRef and Cairos, which both use magnetic fields; and Hawk-Eye, another camera system. It's already used in tennis and cricket, and its English parent company was bought by World Cup sponsor Sony Corp. before it began FIFA-endorsed testing in 2011.
GoalControl was licensed by FIFA only one month ago, and owner Dirk Broichhausen told The Associated Press then that its simplicity was key.
"Our innovation, and also a difference looking to other competitors, is that we can use standard goals, balls and nets. There is no modification necessary," Broichhausen said.
GoalControl uses 14 high-speed cameras — seven trained on each goalmouth — and passed FIFA-approved tests in February in German stadiums in Duesseldorf and Gelsenkirchen. All four systems met FIFA's demand that a signal is transmitted to the referee's watch within one second if a goal should be awarded.
"We want to offer tournament organizers and leagues and clubs not to have to change anything on the pitch. The investment in the technology is enough," Broichhausen said
He estimated that GoalControl will cost $260,000 per stadium to install, and $3,900 per match to operate.
FIFA said the cost of installation — at six scheduled Confederations Cup stadiums and 12 for the World Cup — was considered.
"The respective bids were also judged on cost and project management factors such as staffing and time schedules for installation," soccer's governing body said in a statement.
FIFA's contract with GoalControl for the World Cup can be reviewed if there are problems at the 16-match Confederations Cup — or before.
"The use of GoalControl-4D in Brazil is subject to a final installation test at each stadium where the system will be installed," FIFA said.
FIFA, through its rule-making panel known as IFAB, approved goal-line technology last July, when Hawk-Eye and GoalRef passed the rigorous testing process. Those systems were tested at the Club World Cup in Japan last December, before Cairos and GoalControl had even been licensed.
FIFA President Sepp Blatter wanted goal-line technology in Brazil after England midfielder Frank Lampard had a goal disallowed against Germany at the 2010 World Cup.
FIFA withdrew previous opposition to publicizing goal-line rulings.
Now, competition organizers can choose whether decisions are shown to fans on big screens in stadiums and television viewers. In tennis and cricket, anticipation of a decision provided by Hawk-Eye has become part of the experience.
"It's not secret," Blatter said after the IFAB meeting in Edinburgh, Scotland. "Once we have the technology and it shows it's a goal or not a goal, we have to be transparent, otherwise there's no need to do it."
Referees still have the final say on awarding a goal, or even using goal-line technology when it is installed. Mandatory pre-game tests give match officials the option to switch off the technology if they doubt its accuracy that day.
Hawk-Eye, GoalRef and Cairos will try to persuade other soccer clients, such as the English Premier League or German's Bundesliga, to choose their systems before next season begins in August.

Inside coloring mode
Syntax:(incoloring integer)
Areas inside the set are usually filled in black, but this is only a convention; you could color them in differently to make the fractal look more interesting. The only method available to make areas inside the set visible is to display the value of the latest orbit as the value of each pixel.
The tutorial on incoloring has more information and examples.
XaoS has many different ways to show that value. The cryptic names of the modes are mathematical formulae, where real means the real part of the latest orbit, and imag means the imaginary part. zmag uses the magnitude of the value. The Decomposition-like method uses the angle of the orbit. Also, truecolor incoloring modes are available, that display one value in each of the red, blue and green color planes (or, for some modes, in each of the hue, saturation and value planes).
In the scripting language, the incoloring mode is specified by one of the following integers:
- 0
0 (default)
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
- 6
- 7
- 8
- 9
- 10
Truecolor. To set exact parameters for truecolor coloring use the ''tcolor'' command.

General business terms
Mi taller Automotive Repair Information.
For all mutual rights from and in relation with a contract conclusion between the customer and Mi taller Automotive Repair Information. are valid always these General business terms in the current edition.
Mi taller supplies the products or services ordered by the customer according to offer assumption. If Mi taller should recognize that e.g. a mistake slipped in with the information on a product, on a price or on an availability, Mi taller will inform the customer immediately. The customer can confirm the task under the changed conditions again. If no confirmation occurs on the part of the customer, the contract is not valid.
A bill what not was paid within 30 days will be valued like contradiction or resigned contract. After this period of time, normally all corresponding order documents will be deleted without notice.
We send into all countries of the world. It is therefore certainly understandable, that we send exclusively with beforehand paid money transfer, to avoid conflicts and quarrels with the most different law systems.
Mi taller makes an effort to write all product descriptions so exactly as possibly. This covers both, the operating system to be employed and the product itself. Will say: we install the product and compare the information from the supplier with the in fact provided ones. If a product is not on stock because it has only few demand or very frequent updates, we must rely to the description of the supplier. In this case we do not take over any responsibility for the description. When in the product description is mentioned something like >>need additional Hardware<< so is this hardware not contained unless that is pointed out explicitly.
When Mi taller after contract conclusion detect that a ordered product or service either are not available anymore Mi taller can offer an equivalent to quality and price or service or resign of the contract. Already received payments will be returned immediately.
Mi taller takes over the entire risk the harm or the loss of the product on the mail way. Products there are not arrived at the customer within 30 days after in-payment are lost. Damaged products or an incomplete delivery must also be complained within 30 days from postmark. In all cases we will send new for free.
The Catalogue/Onlineshop prices are final prices but they do not include VAT
The invoice includes also the prices for supplementary services: Wrapping, shipping, insurance, etc.
Because copies are easy to make with today's computers our goods are excluded from exchange once you have received the key. Therefore, you should make sure that the product corresponds to your wishes, before you order.
We have tried to make the product description as exact as possible.
If you have any additional question our service team will answer you any kind of doubt with great pleasure. Mis spelling or careless mistakes in the descriptions as well as global or inaccurate information on the necessary operating system are no reason to exchange the product.
If software for any reason can not be installed (which is quite possible .. because we can not constantly test 6000 programs of its validity for the final software version), we supply in these cases for all Windows and Linux versions virtual machine software with the necessary operating system.

Can social media save live TV?
I had the pleasure of listening to Jim Lanzone, CEO of CBS Interactive speak at AMCHAM a couple of weeks ago. It was really interesting getting an insight into the mind of the man that sits atop one of the largest piles of premium content in the world.
The conversation was extremely interesting, and I'm working on a second post about fair access and piracy. Before I get to that, i thought it was worth pulling out three key things the big man talked about, that I found incredibly interesting.
There is more online video available than ever before.
While the stat itself didn't come as a shock, the next thing out of Jim's mouth did. The viewing statistics point to an increase in the number of hours that people will spend watching the more traditional free to air and cable tv shows. While I'd expect the IPTVs that are in market now to start and have an effect on this over time, more content seems to be breeding more consumption and that's really interesting from a communications point of view. Creating contnet that integrates occassions, platforms and devices together sounds like a sweet spot to try and play.
Premium content costs money.
There is a reason sitcoms look better than phonecam shots-in-the-nuts. Both might ellicit a chuckle on the first watch, but quality writing, acting, set design and styling help change a one of concept into a show that has longevity and will attract an audience. The costs involved mean there'll always be folks looking for ways to make their pieces of silver. If you don't like pre-rolls, best you get used to in-program pitches and midrolls of interminable length.
Social media is fighting a war against the timeshifters.
In spite of always wanting to have written something in bold like that on a work blog, it was really interesting that technology is not simply pushing us towards the death of advertising driven free to air TV. Group watching of programs like Q&A or, more populist, The Voice, is facilitated by the use of platforms like Twitter. There is an increased feeling of connection and involvement in particiapting in the conversation, plus the ego boost associated with seeing your twitter handle and carefully constructed piece of prose up on the TV. Those who record a program to skip the ads watch at their leisure, just don't have the same opportunity to take part.

Austin Options:
Recliner ChairOur standard recliner chairs have the ability to elevate your legs & feet, and allows the back to be reclined anywhere from the upright position to almost a laying down position.
Power/Electric OperationThis option adds a German designed electric motor to drive the recliner. Absolutely no effort is required to open or close the recliner and gives the occupant the ability to stop the footrest or back in any position and hold it there. 1 power socket will be required. Note: cannot be used with swivel or rocker options due power cables.
Swivel BaseAdd the ability to swivel/spin the recliner 360 degrees. Keep in mind, extra space will be required around the recliner chair.
Rocker/GliderConverts the recliner chair into a Rocking/Gliding recliner. When the recliner is in the closed position, the occupant can rock/glide. Once reclined this option is limited.
Swivel & RockerAllows the Recliner chair to Swivel/Spin 360 degrees and Rock from front to back while in the closed position. Once reclined, the recliner can still swivel but rocking is limited.
Austin Colours:
|Frame / Structure
|Internal framing uses solid Hardwood which is nailed and glued. Arms and kick boards use strong Hardwood Ply. We do not use Pine or Chipboard.
|2 types of support are used - No sag Steel springs (Zig Zag) go from the front to the back of the seat cushion while webbing is used from side to side.
|Seats: Quality Medium Feel Full Foam seat cushion which is not too hard or not too soft.
Tip: Soft seat cushions might feel great in the showroom, but after 6 months of use they will be too soft.
Back cushions: are full fibre fill for pillowie softness.
|Recliner Mechanism
|All recliners are Wall Savers. This means they only need a small amount of space behind the back to fully recline. Mechanisms are made from Steel and have an occupant weight limit of 110kgs.
Tip: If you are heavier than 110Kgs, we recommend an arm chair with a matching footstool.
|Powered Recliner
|All the features of the standard Recliner, but motorised. These require no effort to operate, just use the 2 buttons located on the side to recline or retract. For reliability a Top Quality, German Designed, Low Voltage Electric Motor with DC Transformer is used.
|Q: How much space does the recliner take when in the fully reclined position?
|A: A normal recliner will need to be about 10cm out from a wall and that would give it enough clearance to recline fully. In the upright position (not reclined) the recliner is 100cm in overall depth, however when fully reclined (footrest extended and almost laying down) it will be 170cm in overall depth.
|Q: What are Powered Recliners?
|A: The easy answer is, they are motorised. A low voltage, DC Motor drives a long thread (called a Worm Drive) which moves the recliner mechanism rather than springs and physical effort. They are operated by a 2 button switch (1 button reclines, the other retracts) on the side of the arm / console. A Powered Recliner also has the full range of movement that a manual recliner has.

South Sports
Maximize Your Experience
The Intramural Program provides the opportunity to enhance the college experience outside of the traditional classroom by providing the student staff, faculty, and alumni the chance to participate in the fun and excitement of intramural competition. Intramural sports offer both an outlet for those who would prefer the arena of serious competition and a relaxed atmosphere for those that just want to unwind.
Intramurals sports offer lessons involving character, emotion, competition, humility, and overcoming adversity. All these important life lessons are learned in the intramural classroom. How one chooses to handle jubilation and disappointment, achievement and failure, winning and losing, will be as important to your personal growth and development as anything else you will experience while at the University. The classroom will develop your mind; the lessons learned outside the classroom will develop your character. In the Intramural Program, your total development is our goal, and in helping to achieve this goal, we will provide the fun and excitement. Who said college has to be boring? Get in the game!
