I have a TT with IDE card "Thunder", I have connected a CF of 4 Gby and has 8 partitions that work correctly.
If I externally connect the CosmosEx to the ASCI port, the boot priority recognizes the IDE device first and then the ACSI, but the CosmosEx SD card partitions appear on the desktop and I can not open them.
Anyone have experience in this topic? Are the letters of the partition units colliding?
Thanks for the attention.

ULAN BATOR, Mongolia, July 9 (UPI) -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took a jab at China Monday without ever mentioning the Communist country by name.
"You cannot, over the long run, have economic liberalization without political liberalization," Clinton said at an International Women's Leadership Forum in Mongolia. "Countries that want to be open for business but closed to free expression will find the approach comes with a cost.
"It kills innovation, discourages entrepreneurship, which are vital for sustainable growth. Without the rule of law, people with a good business idea or money to invest cannot trust that contracts will be respected and corruption punished, or that regulations will be transparent and disputes resolved fairly, and many will end up looking for opportunities elsewhere."
Clinton said the "heart" of U.S. strategy in Asia "is our support for democracy and human rights."
"Those are not only my nation's most cherished values, they are the birthright of every person born in the world," she said. "They are the values that speak to the dignity of every human being."
The secretary praised Mongolia's transformation from a one-party Communist dictatorship into a "pluralistic, democratic political system."
Since she traveled to the country 17 years ago, she noted Mongolia has had six parliamentary elections. She said the country has also recently passed a long-awaited freedom-of-information law, and that the country is working to improve freedom of the press and root out corruption.

A Globe Quarto co-published with Shakespeare's Globe marking their rediscoveries of forgotten plays by Shakespeare's contemporaries.
A play in two parts, following the lives of a princess and a whore. Although set in Italy, this passionate tale of paternal disapproval and sexual deceit savours more of the underworld of Jacobean London with its asylums and prisons, gambling and prostitution.
This edition presents both parts of the play, which was revived in a condensed version at the Globe Theatre in 1998.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- The Greek government said Monday it will use emergency powers to prevent protesting teachers from disrupting university entrance exams this month. Civil servants' unions retaliated by calling a 24-hour strike for Tuesday.
It is the third time this year that the conservative-led coalition government has used the emergency civil mobilization order -- a measure normally reserved for natural disasters and other times of national crisis -- to end a labor dispute in the crisis-hit country.
More than 2,000 teachers -- some dressed in army fatigues to mock the order -- and left-wing unionists held two separate, peaceful protests in central Athens late Monday.
Tuesday's nationwide strike is expected to close schools and disrupt public services. Civil servants' union officials told the AP on Monday that the union was also planning a work stoppage Thursday and a series of public protests.
Government spokesman Simos Kedikoglou said the government decided to use the civil mobilization order against the teachers under its "moral obligation" to safeguard the May 17-31 exams for school leavers and university candidates.
"We are dealing with a threat to the national interest," Kedikoglou told private Antenna television Monday. "We cannot accept a situation that allows 100,000 children and their families to be held to ransom."
Teachers' unions had planned to start rolling strikes on May 17 to protest longer working hours and involuntary staff transfers.
The Greek Federation of Secondary Education State School Teachers, OLME, called the decision "extreme and undemocratic" and said it would challenge the order in court. The union, which is organizing a protest in Athens and other cities later on Monday, said it would review its strike plans on Tuesday.
Prime Minister Antonis Samaras signed the order, which took effect Monday, after taking similar action earlier this year to end strikes by workers at ferries services and Athens' subway train system.
"Strikes during the university entrance exams are unacceptable," Samaras said Monday. "Our society considers them repulsive. ... Union mentalities cannot cause severe social disruption just because teachers have been asked to work an extra two hours a week."
Pay and staff cuts have become routine in the debt-strapped country, part of the budget austerity measures demanded by international rescue lenders who have kept Greece from defaulting on its debts since it lost bond market access in 2010.
The draconian cuts have seen Greece's minimum wage slashed and unemployment rise to 27 percent.
"We don't think this kind of martial law should be invoked when dealing with industrial relations," said Tom Jenkins, a senior advisor to the European Trade Union Confederation, based in Brussels, Belgium.
Greece's left-wing opposition leader Alexis Tsipras said the cuts were prompting the government to take increasingly autocratic measures.
"I think the first casualty of the bailout agreement is democracy," Tsipras told private Sto Kokkino radio. "Continual states of emergency do not allow for law and order but their collapse. This government is dangerous for democracy."
Eurozone finance ministers will meet in Brussels later Monday and are expected to approve the payout of new bailout installments to Greece after more austerity measures were approved last month, including provisions for the mass dismissal of civil servants.
"The government has made great efforts to fulfill the conditions to secure the disbursements," said Martin Koehring, an analyst at The Economist Intelligence Unit.
He said the Greek government hopes the loan payments will be made by the end of this week, as it has 5.6 billion euros ($7.27 billion) in bonds maturing next on May 20.
Even if the payouts were not agreed upon on Monday, Greece would not face default next week, Koehring noted.
"We expect that the government would be able to cover the financing gap by issuing Treasury bills which are, however, costly," he said.

Whoops: I forgot to include the link to the above article:
Andrew Bolt
Wednesday, November 03, 2010 at 06:37am
SO you think I exaggerate when I say global warming is just the latest cause of the closet totalitarian?
Then pay close attention to an experiment the warmists are about to inflict on the people of Norfolk Island.
Be warned. Whats being trialled there with $390,000 of Gillard Government money may, if it works, be spread to the mainland, say the researchers.
Which means its coming for you.
The plan - and, no, Im not joking - is to put Norfolk Islanders on rations to fight both global warming and obesity.
Funded by the Australian Research Council, and approved by the Socialist Left Science Minister Kim Carr, researchers from the Southern Cross University will give each volunteer on the island a carbon card.
Every time they buy petrol, electricity or an air flight, they will have carbon units deducted from the fixed allowance on their card.
More units will be lost each time they buy fatty foods, or produce flown in from a long way away.
If, at the end of each year or so, they have carbon units left over, they can sell them. If theyve blown their allocation, they must buy more.
But each year, the number of carbon units in this market will be cut, causing their price to soar - and thus the price of extra food, power and petrol to rise - because the idea is to cut greenhouse gases and make Norfolk Islanders trim, taut and terrifically moral.
Conservatives well aware of human fallibility will immediately spot the obvious flaw in this latest scheme of the Left to remake humanity.
Its this: what happens when people run out of their carbon rations, and cant afford the extra units they need to buy more fuel, power or even food?
This is precisely what I put this week to Garry Egger, head of this experiment and professor of Lifestyle Medicine and Applied Health Promotion at SCU.
His response was astonishing and revealing, because this basic question - which so exposes the teeth of the totalitarian - would have been one youd think hed long wrestled with.
After all, his personal carbon trading idea is not new, so much does it appeal to the fingerwaggers and bullies infesting the global warming faith.
As far back as 2006, Britains then environmental minister, David Miliband, proposed a similar scheme, since endorsed by the Environment Agency and House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee, which even insisted the Government defy howls of protest from mere voters.
Widespread public acceptance, while desirable, should not be a pre-condition for a personal carbon trading scheme; the need to reduce emissions is simply too urgent, the MPs said, before being driven off to dinner.
(Or as our own Professor Clive Hamilton, author and former Greens candidate, puts it, global warming is so horrible that leaders must look to canvassing of emergency responses such as the suspension of democratic processes.)
Nor is Eggers idea new in Australia, The farcical ideas summit of prime minister Kevin Rudds 1000 best and brightest Australians also recommended it - which is a very good reason to be alert and alarmed.
We have the technology now to create a carbon account for individuals, says the summits report, in between appeals for chairbound workers to be given 30 minutes a day of exercise and stairs to climb at work.
Yet although carbon rationing plans have been kicked around for years by the Left, that key question of the conservative has still not been answered. As in: what if people dont want to live your dream? What if they rebel, or merely fail you?
Lets go to the transcript of my interview with Egger on MTR 1377 this week, to see how he answered.
Me: What happens to those people who overdraw their carbon emissions ...
Egger: In the first year you are just warned ... (Later) if you overspend, youve got to buy the units that are cashed in ...
Me: If you put this in on the mainland and you were really strict about it - you really thought the world was warming very, very dangerously and someone exceeded their rations of these carbon units - one would presume that you would make food, for example, too expensive for them to buy.
Egger: Thats right ... so if youve got, for example, a very fatty unhealthy food that is imported from overseas which takes a lot of carbon to develop it, then the price would go up ...
Me: What happens to a very fat family, a very irresponsibly fat family, and theyve blown their carbon budget to the scheissenhausen and youve made their food terribly expensive? What about the kids? They go to breakfast and theyve got one baked bean?
Egger: In general youll find that in a very fat family they are low-income earners ... so those people would actually benefit from a scheme like this because the food that they buy, the energy that they use, they dont use as much energy as the rich anyway ...
Me: But what happens? Their ration of carbon credits runs out and youve made food too expensive for them to buy. What happens to them?
Egger: Again, they get money back from doing the right thing.
Me: No, but theyve done the wrong thing. Thats why they are fat and poor. Theyve done the wrong thing, theyve run out of their carbon credits. What are you going to do to them then, when the foods too expensive to buy?
Egger: There are going to be personal cases like this that need to be worked out and they need to be worked out in the tax system as well as in the carbon credits system.
Egger, founder of GutBusters, undoubtedly means to do good. He has no wish to see children starve.
YET I think we have here an insight into a key failing of so many grand schemes of the Left to improve resistant humans or build for them someone elses idea of the perfect society.
These schemes so often are too perfect for the flawed humans they supposedly serve. But its the humans who must then adapt to the system, and not the other way around. Which is where some force is required; some democracy sacrificed.
What a buzz for the closet totalitarian then, to bully other people for their
own good - in this case, to save the planet.
When the cause is so just, which planet-saver could let some contemptible fatty stand in their way, begging for the carbon credits to feed their chubby children?
On the other hand, which planet-saver would deny themselves any aid or comfort in this great struggle?
Need an illustration of what Im talking about? Egger himself plans to jet off to Mexico next month to boast to a United Nations global warming conference how he persuaded Norfolk Islanders to ration just such joy flights for themselves.
This is your future coming right at you, folks. Best you realise its no longer a joke.

In fact, the injury did end many careers until surgeons devised a technique to repair the tear using tendons taken from elsewhere in the patient's body.
The procedure is known as Tommy John surgery, after left-handed pitcher Tommy John - who in 1974 became the first professional athlete to successfully undergo it. Most recently, Boston Red Sox starting pitcher John Lackey is scheduled to have the surgery and will likely miss all of the 2012 baseball season.

Sydney scientists dominate 2011 Eureka Prizes
7 September 2011
All of the University of Sydney finalists at last night's Eureka Prizes took out the top prize in their category, from a physicist leading research into faster and more energy efficient communications technologies, to a team of veterinary scientists exposing questionable ethics in the racing industry.
Presented annually by the Australian Museum, the Eureka Prizes, known as the 'Oscars' of the Australian science world, reward excellence in the fields of scientific research and innovation, science leadership, school science and science journalism and communication.
Vice-Chancellor Dr Michael Spence, who attended last night's ceremony, congratulated all the winners and said he was delighted the University was so widely represented in this year's awards.
"These awards are wonderful recognition for their work over many years. The University of Sydney takes great pride in their achievements. They epitomise our commitment to undertake research that makes an original contribution to knowledge and understanding."
University of Sydney winners
The prestigious Eureka Prize for Leadership in Science went to Professor Ben Eggleton, Director of CUDOS, the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Photonics, with over 130 researchers from seven Australian universities.
He and his team are developing optical technologies that promise to change people's lives. In particular, the group is developing a photonic chip that is faster, smaller, more energy efficient and smarter than traditional electronics options.
Using light beams, it is already contributing to new science and technology in a host of areas, ranging from energy-efficient communications and quantum information processing to environmental monitoring and astronomy.
The prize recognises Professor Eggleton's outstanding record of multidisciplinary research leadership in Australia and the US, and ability to develop and lead breakthrough science and technology and translate discoveries into commercial realities.
Professor Rick Shine from the School of Biological Sciences took home the Eureka Prize for Promoting Understanding of Australian Science Research.
Professor Shine is one of Australia's foremost researchers in ecology and evolution, and one of this country's most eloquent and widely heard science communicators.
The judges noted that he has been transforming the public debate about cane toads, with his websites, media appearances and magazine articles have replacing myths with fact.
Associate Professor David Moss from the Institute of Photonics and Optical Science was named winner of the Eureka Prize for Innovation in Computer Science.
Associate Professor Moss was recognised for his breakthrough work incorporating light onto silicon computer chips. His research will be critical to overcoming many of the energy and bandwidth bottlenecks for on-chip and chip to chip communications, and will play a key role in enabling silicon photonic chips.
Professor Manfred Lenzen, Dr Christopher Dey and Dr Joy Murray, from the School of Physics, won the Eureka Prize for Innovative Solutions to Climate Change.
They head up the Integrated Sustainability Analysis team, a multi-disciplinary research group that has developed a model to calculate the environmental cost of what we produce, buy and eat.
Research by a Faculty of Veterinary Science team in Professor Paul McGreevy's lab into the practice of horse whipping in the racing industry saw them take out the Scientific Research that Contributes to Animal Protection category.
Estimates from the Australian racing industry's own data suggest racehorses suffer more than a million whippings annually. Research by Professor McGreevy's team found whipping does not increase a horse's chance of finishing in the top three, and that they actually run faster when they are not being hit.
The 2009 winner of the Eureka People's Choice Award, Associate Professor Kathy Belov, was successful once again, this time as part of a group that triumphed in the Eureka Prize for Environmental Research category.
Associate Professor Belov and her colleagues from across Australia - collectively known as The Devils' Advocates - are collaborating across disciplines to try to save the Tasmanian Devil from extinction from a contagious cancer.
"The brilliance and tireless dedication of a team of researchers has the potential to save the devils - renowned for their eerie screeching and bad temper - from Tasmanian Devil facial tumour disease," the judges noted.
Our researchers leading the field
Professor Jill Trewhella, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) described the results as "outstanding".
"They demonstrate the breadth of research being carried out at Sydney, particularly within the natural sciences," she said.
"Our commitment to sustainability research is clear: it is fantastic to see the multi-disciplinary team led by Manfred Lenzen, Christopher Dey and Joy Murray recognised for their work in this area.
"It is also pleasing to see our researchers recognised for leadership and communication. We are determined to see our research go beyond the boundaries of our campus and have a real affect on broader society; we want to solve problems and innovate. Ben Eggleton and Rick Shine have both shown exemplary leadership in this area."

Week Four on the Food Patrol** program contained the first of the designated days off. The first two meals of the day you can consume pretty much anything you want. The rest of the meals of the day continue with the Food Patrol program.
The Food Patrol team sent out a reminder email about this via their VIP e-mail support and encouraged me to plan my meals.
The idea behind the Food Day Off is that if you are following the program properly the rest of the time, the day off helps to accelerate your results by resetting your metabolism at an increased level. Days off are scheduled at the end of weeks 4, 6, 8 and 10.
I remember when I first read through the program, I encountered the concept of the food Day Off. I thought that I would be DYING for these days during the program, and, honestly, if I had have had the chance at the end of Week 2 I reckon I would have eaten for Australia. The reality was quite different.
When the day arrived on Saturday, I approached it tentatively. I planned it, as suggested, opting for homemade Bacon and Eggs for breakfast and a Thai green curry for lunch. I felt nervous about branching out from my routine; a routine that has proven to provide excellent weight loss results for me. I was worried that I would fall off the wagon for good once I had a taste of sugar, salt and oil again.
Those Day Off meals were flavoursome, without a doubt, but I struggled to finish them. I savoured them, knowing that I wouldn't be indulging for another fortnight, but I was happy to return to my new routine. They were special. But they were enough.
Funny thing is, I felt bloated and yucky the next day and for the next two days too. A food 'hangover' of sorts. I was happy with my weight loss for the week, expecting it to be less because of my guilt-free indulgences. We will have to see if it shows up on the scales next week.
* For those interested in the fine print, my starting weight was 86.6 kg (16.01.2012) and I now weigh 78.3kg.
**The Food Patrol is a sponsor of And then there were four.

An Australian-designed application that allows users to order take away food via an iPhone, iPod Touch or Apple iPad launched this week.
iTakeaway is a free application available through the Apple App Store and offers users access to menus from restaurants that have registered with the app's developers. Currently, more than 300 restaurants are part of the service.
Customers can place an order and make their purchase on the spot, or they can have the food delivered to them if they live nearby. Orders can be placed with any listed restaurant up to seven days in advance.
The chief executive of iTakeaway, Tony Peter, said the app was designed to simplify takeaway operations for both the user and restaurateur.
"We felt there was a need to develop apps for this market. We thought there was a very large gap for this as more and more people need to order their food from home," he said.

his site is dedicated to those who have been falsely accused of some type of child abuse and for the attorneys who represent them.
The National Innocence Project has exonerated, based upon DNA evidence, hundreds of persons who were convicted of atrocious crimes including capital murder and/or rape. A large number of those persons had confessed to crimes they did not commit. Considering that most cases of child abuse do not involve DNA evidence, one can only guess at the number of people in prison that are innocent. The fact that a person has been accused or charged and, possibly, convicted of the crime does not mean that they were guilty of the crime. There are many reasons for this phenomena that are touched upon in this site.
In the large percent of sexual abuse cases, there is no physical evidence or eyewitnesses. Medical exams are routinely "normal". Yet, people are still convicted based upon a complainant and hearsay/vouching testimony by so-called "experts". Especially disturbing are the cases where repeated, penile pentration was alleged, yet the medical exam was "normal" with what is considered an "intact" hymen.
In alleged Shaken Baby and other alleged physical abuse cases, there is seldom a search for an "equally competing hypothesis" for causation of any injuries. In most cases, the presumption is made that the injurie(s) were non-accidental and therefore must have been inflicted by someone. What is not commonly known is that in many of these cases, there is a gigantic dispute among medical experts as to whether a particular injury was accidental versus non-accidental or whether there is some non-abusive cause of the condition or injury.
The search for the truth regarding a child abuse allegation involves "The Law, the Science, the Myths, the Reality". No one wants a guilty child abuser to go unpunished. On the other hand, there is a sentiment in the general public that it is "better to err on the side of safety" which translates into that "it is better to convict 10 innocent people to make sure we get the one guilty person". That is, unless they are the person accused or a family member or friend.
Justice can be served when people educate themselves on the issues involved and let reason, rather than emotion, rule the day. We seek justice not only for real victims, but for those who have been ajudged a child abuser when they have not abused anyone.

Wouldn't it be possible to just put ourselves into the A-Leauge (or any other league, just picking the one that was mentioned), and then adjust our stats so that we would be competitive? Not so much so that we dominate, but enough that we're, say, a mid-table side? Like Buggs said, even we're going to be cutting sides, it won't be worth it, because we'll just be playing the same team within 3 weeks.

I don't think we will have enough players to make it worthwile to have a comp of 6 or 8 teams. The best option IMO is to join the NZ National League which has 8 teams. The standard would be about the same as the best NZ players are overseas or in the A-League. That would mean a 12 team comp and about 22 games, which prefect number.
Also I would strongly advise that you scale all the players stats to either out of 20 or 25. I'm sure most people who have used the sim will tell you that having it out of 100 makes the difference between player ridcoulous at times, which we saw last season.
I'm not a fan of maquee players at all. I think you find that these players will dominate the league and make the games very boring. It will be better to just have more semi professionals of a similar standard or slight better to fill the sides up. With the sim the closer the quality of players are the better the matches are. Also with the current low number of CW players, I'm sure most captains would rather have depth then a superstars especially with the large number of injuries and suspensions we had last season.
Reserve league is a good idea and I like draft idea to make the allocated of players at the start of season more fair. Have no problem with transfer system, if we have the option of signing players to contracts. I know in Football it makes no difference as players can move from club to club. But it would make it easier building a side if we knew we have players that are likely to be that the club the following season. Also if this is implemented players that finish there contracts should be able to move with any players going to other way, Bosman ruling to an extent. A formal contract system would be nice.
Just my thoughts.

To address a few things mentioned above.
- The move to another league has been mentioned by a couple of people. Personally, I would prefer it as we are with 6 teams in CWLand. However, that is dependant on numbers and everything is up for discussion.
- I used the term 'marquee' players loosely (sp?). The players that are available at the top of the draft are not star players but guys that can help and add balance to a team. They are better than the generics but not better than many CW players. In no way will they dominate.
- The skill points system is being looked into. Ive read a number of different things that talk about improving the realism and stability of the sim. Will continue with tests and after talking to people will make a decision.
- Things like contracts etc are all possibilities that could be implemented at a later date if the sim gets back up and running and grows.
Always interesting to hear feedback

Hopefully we can keep our extras from last season. Samir Louadj was a gun.

Granted there may be players who wish to leave a club and would therefore put that club at a loss, but that's the way things go sometimes. And all that said, I'm not sure about the specifics of the sim (what sim is it?) so this isn't the most hard-edged of comments. Just a suggestionesque comment.
Sreesanth said, "Next ball he was beaten and I said, 'is this the King Charles Lara? Who is this impostor, moving around nervously? I should have kept my mouth shut for the next ball - mind you, it was a length ball - Lara just pulled it over the church beyond the boundary! He is a true legend."
I'm going to agree with everyone else i reckon we should put our teams into either the A-League or the NZ League.
Also on the transfers front every player should have a contract for there club and each team should have a transfer budget to spend on other players, these a just ideas that im putting out there so meh you know give a sense of realism.

However, if we have to cut 1/2 teams, then I'd be all for us replacing a few teams in the NZ League, or perhaps having 2/3 teams solely made up of foreign players (sort of like the Masters XI in CW Cricket, except not with uber players) so we aren't playing the same teams so regularly.

First team to 100 points wins?
The ninth-ranked Missouri men's basketball team (14-1) enters Saturday's 11:30 a.m. conference opener against Colorado in the Coors Events Center leading the Big 12 in scoring offense with 86.4 points per game.
Colorado is not far behind, ranking third at 84.8. (Third-ranked Kansas averages 85.6 points).
Speaking Thursday on the Big 12 teleconference, Mizzou coach Mike Anderson declined to say whether he expects a shootout in Boulder this weekend.
But Anderson said that on film he is impressed by the progress made by the Buffs (11-4) under first-year coach Tad Boyle. Anderson and Boyle want their teams to run.
"I'll tell you what, they're playing some pretty good basketball," Anderson said. "They're scoring. They're playing a lot freer. I think Tad is doing a great job. The name of the game is to score. They're doing that.
"They're putting the ball in the hole. So we have a tremendous task in front of us in terms of trying to guard so many guys. They've got a lot of weapons."

The most recent short interest data has been released by the NASDAQ for the 07/31/2013 settlement date, which shows a 1,572,224 share decrease in total short interest for Affymetrix, Inc. (AFFX), to 8,607,056, a decrease of 15.45% since 07/15/2013. Total short interest is just one way to look at short data; another metric that we here at Dividend Channel find particularly useful is the "days to cover" metric because it considers both the total shares short and the average daily volume of shares traded. The number of shares short is then compared to the average daily volume, in order to calculate the total number of trading days (at the average volume) it would take to close out all of the open short positions if every share traded represented a short position being closed. Average daily volume for AFFX at the 07/31/2013 settlement increased to 2,395,034, as compared to 816,981 at the 07/15/2013 report. That brought "days to cover" down to 3.59, a 71.16% decrease from the 12.46 days to cover calculated at the previous short interest data release.
In afternoon trading Monday, AFFX was down about 0.8% on the day.

By PAUL SCHWARTZ
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - No one denies Victor Cruz is a bona fide starting NFL receiver, a breakout star who after bursting onto the national scene last season has proven he's not a one-year wonder.
The former UMass Minuteman leads the Giants in receptions and emerged as Eli Manning's go-to target. But Cruz leading the entire NFC in the fan's portion of the Pro Bowl voting?
"I'm humbled," Cruz said. "It's just crazy to think, it's crazy to even fathom the thought that just three years ago, I was a guy nobody knew, now I'm leading in votes for the Pro Bowl. Words can't even explain how I feel about that. I'm just humbled by it and, hopefully, I can continue my high level of play, continue to catch the football, score some touchdowns and not let the fans down."
Cruz finished with 515,811 votes to outdistance Detroit's record-breaking Calvin Johnson, which is quite an upset. But it's not a shock the 26-year old Cruz - a player no one thought enough of to draft - has not only emerged as an exciting, productive player but also an uncommonly popular one.
Cruz has gone from unknown, undrafted free agent to the most well-known and marketable Giants player other than Manning. The salsa dance Cruz breaks into after scoring touchdowns - paying tribute to his Puerto Rican heritage and honoring his late grandmother, Lucy Molina - is hugely popular at MetLife Stadium. Giants fans punctuate every one of his receptions with a hearty cry of "Cruuuuuuuz."
President Obama called Cruz personally to help in the re-election campaign. Cruz not only made numerous radio appearances for the cause, he also went to Florida to help Obama in the Latino community.
Cruz often conducts interviews in fluent Spanish, he's made commercials and is a spokesman for a number of companies. Following the Super Bowl, he went on an aggressive book tour for his memoir, "Out of the Blue."
The ascension has been remarkable.
Cruz, seemingly out of nowhere, made the roster in 2010 but spent the entire season on injured reserve. In 2011, he ended up setting a franchise single-season record for receiving yards (1,536) en route to hauling in 82 passes and nine touchdowns, plus 21 more catches in the playoffs, including a touchdown in Super Bowl XLVI.
There was no new contract. Cruz makes the veteran minimum of $540,000, although the structure for a new multi-year deal is in place in spite of doubts about whether he could come close to duplicating his breakout season. Falcons receiver Roddy White said Cruz was going to be in for "a rude awakening" in 2012 and seemed to denigrate Cruz by labeling him "more of a slot receiver; the big boys play on the outside."
As the Giants have bumped along as a wildly inconsistent team, the highlights haven't flowed as freely this season - although Cruz did shred the Redskins on a 77-yard game-winning touchdown catch-and-run with 1:13 remaining in a 27-23 Giants victory back on Oct. 21. Cruz averaged a gaudy 18.7 yards per catch in 2011. That average is down to 12.7 yards this season as opposing defenses are determined to keep him under wraps, plus he's been targeted with extra attention with Hakeem Nicks slowed all season by foot and knee issues. Still, with one game remaining, Cruz leads the Giants with 82 receptions for 1,040 yards and nine touchdowns.
"More double teams, more guys in my face," Cruz said of what he'd faced this season. "Not so much off coverage, more physicality. More of them trying to get their hands on me, so it's just something I just got to be prepared for and continue to work and defeat the coverage. It's all part of the game. It's all stuff that I have had to go through, so it's not draining."
A gesture and visit made by Cruz late in the season stood out over anything he's ever done on the field. The day after the horrific school shootings in Newtown, Conn., Cruz learned via Twitter that one of the victims, 6-year-old Jack Pinto, listed Cruz as his favorite player. Cruz called the Pinto family to express his condolences and the next day honored the memory of little Jack by writing "RIP Jack Pinto'' on his right cleat, "Jack Pinto My Hero'' on his left cleat and Jack Pinto's name on his gloves. The grieving parents buried their son in a No. 80 Giants jersey.
"There are no words that can describe the type of feeling you get when a kid idolizes you so much that they want to, unfortunately, put him in a casket with your jersey on," Cruz said. "I can't even explain it."
The day after the funeral, Cruz quietly and privately visited Newtown, spent time with the Pinto family and presented 11-year-old brother Ben with the inscribed gloves and cleats.
"Incredibly proud of what he's done. Incredibly," coach Tom Coughlin said. "That family will remember that all their days. And somehow help to, hopefully, some of their grief might at least temporarily be spent in being able to embrace Victor Cruz. The fact that he went and did that speaks volumes about what he has inside."
Through it all, Cruz hasn't missed any games or any practices, never appearing to be anything other than that unknown trying to make it big.
"I'm just out here enjoying the moment," Cruz said. "I still feel like I'm out here as a free agent just still trying to work hard every time I'm on the practice field, every time on game day. I'm just continuing to be my same person, just continuing to keep my family close, and I think that's really helped me."

I want to be a volunteer for ADS-B receiver. My apartment is on the second floor and the roof is 25 meters away from me. So I need longer H155 Coax cable. First, I read the equipment instruction and it is written that cable length have to be max. 10 meters. Do you think is that a problem? Second, If it is not a problem, how can I provide the longer cable? I searched on the net but this cable is really hard to find.
Thank you!

text: Some days ago I was thinking something about this. My idea was this: 1. An application to install (who want) on openmoko. It is running as a deamon. Configure very simple like username, password, server. 2. If it is running, check if there is connection. If yes, it send his mac and gps coordinates to a server, that can be hosted to openmoko.org 3. every person can access to a web application, on openmoko.org where a person can set the stealt allarm. It there is the stealt allarm, openmoko.org will keep all the gps position received every time that the freerunner is online. else if clean all the position after 7 day (I think is a reasonable time a person will know if a phone was stealt) 4. If a person didn't gave a stealt allarm, the person can not to access to position logs (to avoid privacy violation) It can run because who steal a phone, usually he can sell. And an openmoko phone is very suitable to go online, so if someone go online, he will send as soon info about his position. Is possible to think that it will send the inserted sim number or s/n. This is my idea Sebastian Billaudelle wrote: > Hi there! > > I thought about the risk of loosing the moko or of getting it stolen... > > I got the following idea: > If you can't find you moko, you only have to send an SMS with a > special keyword/passphrase to your moko. > It recognises the special text and sends the current coordinates to a > server.

Bought this bike new from Cumberland Transit. It was my second mtn bike. My first was a Diamondback Ridge Runner that I bought mail order, for about $400. This bike blew me away when I tested it out in Centennial Park. I had test ridden every bike in Nashville. Skip Stowe was the manager and offered me the bike for about $970. He said that was almost store cost, and he wanted to make room for the 1988's, and to get it out when folks would see it being ridden. He knew that I rode regularly at Percy Warner Park, and wanted the FAT to be seen. I only had $700 and he let me put the rest on layaway, and take the bike and ride. How is that for a great dealer?
We got into cutting down the bars, as it was considered cool. Mine finally got to 22". Not on there now.

As Holocaust Museum marks 20 years, 'an unlikely voice' brings its stories to a new generation
WASHINGTON -- Rebecca Dupas always begins her tours of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum with questions for students. "Why do we start with this image?" she'll ask at the fourth-floor entrance to the permanent exhibition. Standing before photos from the 1945 liberation of the Dachau concentration camp, she points out shadows, juxtapositions, paradoxes -- a half-dressed figure with the haggard face of a middle-age man and the spindly legs of a child.
They enter Holocaust history where American soldiers entered it, she'll say, as she begins to introduce students slowly to industrial dehumanization and mass murder; to the philosophical underpinnings of the the Nazi Final Solution.
The petite African American woman, in her dark denims and patent-leather flats, seems scarcely more than a student herself. And she remembers the student she once was when she visited the museum for the first time, then came back, then took classes, then led tours, and now works there full time and sometimes writes poems about survivors.
Nearly 20 years ago, the museum began the Bringing the Lessons Home program in an effort to make Holocaust history relevant to young people in inner-city Washington. Twenty years from now, Holocaust survivors may all be dead and what was lived history will pass into distance with only artifacts left behind.
Whether Holocaust history will matter deeply, when survivors can no longer give it voice, is a source of reflection as the museum marks its 20th anniversary this week.
People such as Dupas play a central role in that.
Dupas, 31, is now a coordinator of leadership programs for the museum, but she sometimes still gives tours, as she did in March when she posted an invitation on Facebook for friends to visit. Her knowledge of the permanent collection extends not just to key places and dates and people, but also to a recognition of how long students need to pause at the Tower of Faces and where they'll cry. It extends to the the realization that while she can draw obvious modern-day parallels, students have to make their own links. It's how the history becomes personal.
She points out Nazi charts on racial superiority and images of Jewish-only benches. She used to point out "Colored Only" similarities, but stopped. "More often than not, someone will say, 'Just like the South, or civil rights,' " she says.
In a section on radio propaganda, students cite the centrality of local urban stations to their own lives and invoke modern radio programs that broadcast hate talk. "The more sophisticated groups understand that there's still propaganda going on. My job is to set up the possibility of that connection. It will click in now, or it will click in later."
Dupas was born in Louisiana and moved to Prince George's County, Md., with her mother, a correctional officer, and sister, who owns a day care business, when her parents split up. She has lived in Washington, Prince George's and Baltimore. After graduating from Towson University, where she studied English and secondary education, she taught high school literature before joining the museum full time last year. She'd learned about the Holocaust Museum as a junior in high school and the following year she applied for the BTLH program. There were only two paragraphs about the Holocaust in the history books "and I just had so many questions," Dupas says.
"Every Tuesday or Thursday, once a week for 12 weeks, I would take the Metro to the museum and we would have classes in the morning." Students had to tour their families through the museum to graduate. That summer, she attended the museum's Summer Youth Leadership Seminar, where they met up with youth organizations from around the country. She felt honored to be selected, to be associated with a prestigious museum. She was given a travel stipend for the commute, and at 18, began touring visitors as a part-time ambassador, interacting with survivors and creating artwork from it. Her artwork was poems.
She worked as a tour guide, in visitor services and archives, and as a part-time program coordinator. While at Towson, she coordinated a series of programs between the Black Student Union and Hillel. "That was the very thing I learned to do working at the museum," she says. To "use the history to have a broader conversation about human relationships."
She has sometimes had to answer questions about her involvement with the museum, which seems to some inorganic. "The question would always be, 'Why the Holocaust?' I do recall someone saying why not the Great Blacks in Wax Museum."
The answer, Dupas says, is because the Holocaust Museum offered her the opportunity.
The museum revolves around its muscular collection, narrative power and starkly evocative architecture, which transformed the museum landscape. It is little changed in its 20-year history, says Sara Bloomfield, director since 1999. It is one of Washington's most popular destinations, with over 1.6 million visitors annually and nearly 35 million visitors since it opened, including more than 9 million schoolchildren and 91 heads of state.
It includes more than 17,000 artifacts and has 26,200 historical photographs and images available on its Web site with a goal of digitizing millions of pages of Holocaust documentation. Almost a decade ago, images of Alexander Katan, a dwarf from Rotterdam, first alive, then his skeleton, were removed at the request of his family; the only time such a request has been made, Bloomfield says. She calls it a reflection of the constant tension between the museum's need to memorialize the dead and to educate the living.
The famous quote by German theologian Martin Niemoller, which begins "First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out . . . ," had been in the middle of the exhibit, but was moved to the end, before the Hall of Remembrance. "We want to challenge our visitors to ask not what would I have done, but what will I do?" says Bloomfield.
Bringing the Lessons Home now includes 76 schools in Washington, Maryland and Virginia. More than 2,300 students have participated in its Summer Youth Leadership Program and 650 students have served as ambassadors. "This program actually leads into where we're heading next," Bloomfield says. Nazis were young; society change agents are often young. "That's part of the important premise of this program. They are going to shape the future and make changes, or not."
Dupas' story is special, Bloomfield says. "I knew her as a young person, she came back, then for our 20th anniversary she read that poem."
Dupas has read her poem "An Unlikely Voice," about her connectedness to Holocaust history, during the four-city anniversary tour, which culminates in June. She'll read it again April 29 at the National Tribute to survivors and World War II veterans. "It's one of the moments you think you are the luckiest person in the world to work at this museum and work with this person."
People tell Dupas she works at "too sad of a place."
She knows people "who don't have an interest in visiting this museum because it appears to be an institution solely for Jews and their experience" she says, but it's not. It's universal, and eternal. "It is an introduction to what happens when people do not act," Dupas says. "It allows people to understand where they sit in the story."
Aysha Hoque, 16, a sophomore at West Springfield High School and a graduate of BTLH, agrees. Her family is Muslim but Hoque says no one has ever given her a hard time about her participation in the program. "I think it's relatable and universal, and everyone can learn from the Holocaust," Hoque says.
Dupas has been writing poetry since middle school; about friendship, family, love. She hosts poetry programs and has released three poetry CDs. She has written about survivors, and a Navajo woman she met outside her office a few weeks ago. She still sometimes gets emotional in the museum. She recently heard the calling of names in the Hall of Remembrance. She thought about Holocaust victims, and African American ancestors whose names have been lost.
At an August 2010 tribute to Stephen T. Johns, a security guard killed at the museum in 2009 by an avowed racist, Dupas read a poem she wrote titled "Light Up the Darkness." It evoked slavery, concentration camps and ended like this:
"Keep looking toward the light
Because the evil of this world doesn't take a day off
And you must decide
Remind yourself with every stride
If evil can move with such determination
. . . so can I."
Commemoration events
The exhibition "Some Were Neighbors: Collaboration and Complicity in the Holocaust" opens April 30 and runs through 2018. The museum is also hosting two days of sold-out events to mark its 20th anniversary, including a National Tribute Dinner on April 28 when the Elie Wiesel Award will be presented to Susan Eisenhower, granddaughter of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, on behalf of World War II veterans, and Polish Resistance fighter Wladyslaw Bartoszewski, on behalf of those who rescued Jews during the Holocaust. On Monday, April 29, former President Bill Clinton and Founding Chairman Elie Wiesel will speak at the National Tribute Ceremony Commemoration Dinner. The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum is at 100 Raoul Wallenberg Place SW, Washington, D.C. 202-488-0400. www.ushmm.org.

SwellJoe necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 173 diseños de 48 diseñadores freelance.
We're launching a new brain games company, and we'd like to have a fun and smart logo. Our games include Sudoku, n-back and dual n-back memory games, language games, spatial games, and musical phrase games and we're targeting folks who want to get serious about their mental health and development. Think "Brain Age meets 24 Hour Fitness" (but do NOT use this as a tagline for the logo! These are registered trademarks of other companies...I'm just trying to give you an idea of the purpose of our company).
We want a design that conveys mental fitness and development. Our customers are folks concerned about mental aging and related illnesses, and so we're a fun company attempting to help with serious issues. The science behind brain games is still pretty new, though also pretty compelling, so we need to convey a seriousness about our methods and games.
It could be a mascot, or a stylized person (perhaps with glasses and looking smart; if a person, an older professor type is better than a kid or cool hipster). Or, it could just be a stylized M or the word Mentability stylized. I kinda suspect we want a mascot or figurehead, though.
- The word "Mentability". It's our company name after all. An icon version would also be sweet, perhaps with just an M and whatever mascot or image mark you come up with.
- Colors should not clash with those found in this Drupal theme: http://drupal.org/files/images/acqu…review.png (the colors do not need to be the same as those in this theme...they just shouldn't clash...contrasting bold colors are probably a great choice...we will be modifying the theme a lot, but the color scheme is pretty awesome as-is).
- Serious, smart, fun. What's that mean? I don't know, exactly. We just need to convey that our games are good for your mind, and we've got the science to back it up.
- Vector format, preferably SVG.
- Taglines. Do not include a tagline. And, definitely, definitely, definitely, do not include a tagline that involves two registered trademarks of other companies.
- Garish colors. No purples, bright pinks, turquoise, flourescent greens or yellows, etc.
- Colors that are too subtle or details that are too fine. Older folks can't see as well as younger folks...so solid contrast and clear imagery is important.
- Too cutesy. Fun is important, but if it looks like a Pokemon, we're not going to choose it.
- Scary or serious sci-fi. If it looks like the cover of a 70's sci fi novel, it's probably not right.
