Released: Jan 01st, 1992
Running Time: 70
Director: Jack Stephen
Company: CDI Home Video
Cast: Alexandria Quinn, Tom Chapman, T.T. Boy, Buck Adams, Tiarra West, Candace Heart
Critical Rating: AA
Genre: Feature
Candace Heart talks to the camera and says, "I don't want to get married." Why couldn't she have talked to my wife six years ago? A few people spout a few lines but there is no cohesion or reason to involve oneself with the characters if they can generously be called that. One gets the impression that the script was dashed off during a five-minute subway ride.
The usually energetic Alexandria Quinn shows a remarkable lack of energy in the girl-girl scene with K.C. Williams, who's looking more and more like Francois Papillon. Knock off the weight lifting, K.C.

City A Tip
Can anyone verify this tip:
I heard a rumor that recently (in the past week or two) a drunken man was taking a taxi home on E Pine st, his taxi was pulled over and the man was pulled out of the car by police and left on the sidewalk in front of Kincora. The man was too drunk to stand up for a while and when he finally did, he staggered out into the path of an oncoming motorcyclist who struck and killed him. Apparently the police were not taking statements by witnesses, and it was rumored to be that it was because they were partially to blame for leaving a drunken man on the sidewalk when he was trying to get home safely. I didn't see anything on your website about this and I wonder if you could enlighten your readers about this. I also heard that the motorcyclist worked at Lindas and that staff members of Kincora heroically tried to give the injured man cpr even though he had sustained terrible head trauma.Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Despite being best known for his square black glasses, popular broadcaster Chris Evans has opted for life without the lenses.
The BBC Radio 2 presenter announced on Twitter on Thursday that he was heading to the clinic for the popular procedure.
Just over an hour till eyes down for the laser treatment. . . I'll see you on the other side. Hopefully better than ever before.— Chris Evans (@achrisevans) September 26, 2013
And he spent less than an hour inside before announcing that he was "out" to his waiting fans.
Chris says he is hopeful it will be "better than ever before" and has welcomed people's opinions on his radio show.
His morning broadcast was dedicated to 'anyone who's finally faced up to their fear'; fairly apt considering what he had planned later on.
He is keeping fans in suspense until Friday, when he has promised to discuss the outcome.

OK, I admit it, this is one of those "I told you so" columns, but isn't it amazing that it's taken this long to start a serious policy debate about why we are still giving away all that "ocean front" broadcast spectrum?
It's finally happened. Folks are finally asking some long-overdue questions about why so much of the "best" spectrum available is being squandered on multiple broadcast channels in each community. It's about time.
A vast majority of television viewers in the United States no longer rely on broadcast, over-the-air television reception. They rely on cable and satellite MVPD service. (By the way, unless there is a reason to, I don't distinguish between "telco" operation of a cable system and "cable" ownership of that infrastructure…they are both "cable" systems despite all the policy and marketing hoohah making believe they are different.)
So if most folks are not dependent on broadcast television spectrum use, and that spectrum is owned by the public, and it could be put to better use, why isn't it? I've been asking that question in this column and its forerunners for decades!
Some of the standard responses are now pure silliness; first there is the "localism" argument. Fine. Let's see a study of how many hours of truly "local" programming most "local broadcasters" actually produce. Take back the spectrum of all those who fall below, say, 25% primetime daily. That would be virtually every broadcaster in the country!
The second response you always hear is "local emergency" coverage. I call it the "tornado" justification. But that one doesn't fly for long either. Think about the "emergency broadcasting system." How does it work? All the stations trigger an alert, then most of them announce what channel you should turn to for emergency messages and then they turn off! So you don't really need all those broadcast channels showing reruns or home shopping for "emergency" reasons.. they tell you to stop watching them anyway. All you would need is an education campaign telling folks which one or two channels they should tune to when there is an emergency.
Of course the real broadcaster argument, other than that there are some folks who still do rely on "free" broadcast television, is that it is their spectrum and the government has no right to now take it back and use it for other good purposes. Well, sorry, that doesn't get very far either. It's the Public spectrum, and the licenses granted for its use are time limited and specifically not granted as an ownership right in perpetuity. As to those who still rely on broadcasting, they can be served in other ways, such as vouchers for MVPD, and the money made by reclaiming and reusing the broadcast spectrum would be more than sufficient to cover that bill. The voucher recipients would benefit as well by getting far more educational, instructional and government services programming than they do now.
Is any of this likely? Well, we have an FCC these days that really does look at "facts" sometimes. And the facts seem to favor reclaiming some, if not all of the broadcast spectrum. But there is also another fact: politically, this is a very difficult way to go. The broadcasters, at the very least, will have to be paid off to get them to relinquish "their" spectrum, and doomsday scenarios, which seem to be so popular today, will flourish. But could the Commission at least recommend a limited, compensated reclamation of some of the spectrum? Yes, and it would be about time!

Thanks +Guy Kawasaki for sharing, great article and sums it up well (I know I hit the back button for a good number of these!).
Andy Sorenson
Excellent article...I personally dislike websites that auto run multimedia. If I want to watch the video or hear the music I will click on the play button. I really dislike ESPN's web site for this reason; good content, but nearly every page requires me to halt a video before reading what I came for.
Thomas R Dean
I agree with everything, but would add the latest trend in new service websites of only describing the service in a video. You can't find out what they do unless you sit through the video. I can read faster than you can talk, and I don't want to sit though the testimonials. One example was that apartment sharing website. An example of how quickly I left is that I no longer remember the name of the website.
Jenn White
Thomas, wish I should +10 this! I hate sitting through a 10 min video for the one min of information I need. Problem is it is WAY faster and easier to record a 10 min video than to write a well-written explanation, that's why you see so many of them.
This hits a lot of nails on the head +Guy Kawasaki, thanks!
What +Jeff Moore said. The thing that annoys me the most about flash, besides its overall sluggishness, is that it can hijack your keyboard shortcuts. So for example you can use ctrl-w to make a screen go away except when you're in a flash widget. I know this isn't an issue for mobile devices, but it's very annoying if you use a workstation a lot. I use a flash blocker and it saves me a lot of mental wear and tear.

+Thomas Dean I am 100% with you about video, and I produce video for a living. Video seems to be a first choice for a lot of people, but I won't step into one unless I have a damn good reason. You can always read faster than you can watch, and with reading, you can skip over the parts that aren't relevant.
Dustin Tigner
Flash is great for the right audience. It simply comes down to knowing your audience. Great read, lots of good information!
I used to learn actionscripting when the version was 2.0 but when Adobe released ver 3.0, I completely stopped using flash.
Please forgive me for my ineptness ... But why do some videos start and stop; start and stop...they freeze, then take time to load some more (while I wait impatiently) start up just to freeze again?
+Thomas Wells Whitley Jr. that usually means the bitrate of the video is greater than your internet connection speed. Sometimes you can pause the video and let the cache in your browser build up for a while before hitting play again.
+Thomas Wells Whitley Jr. are you asking why a business would have slow Internet access? First you would have to make sure that was really the case, then you would have to ask them.
Ok I see. Thanks +George Cohn their training videos do that. I find that odd.
So it sounds like maybe the training videos are encoded at a high bitrate? Hope they're worth it!

+Jeff Moore I don't buy it. I've been using the internet and Windows PC's for about 20 years now. I have never experienced any problems with flash, ever. People always complain and talk to me like I don't use the damn internet every day of my life, about how I don't understand how flash works. You don't know what I understand. If your PC is running slow, then I attribute that to user error. You may disagree, but then why do I never have the same problems as you? Why have I been using Windows on my own computers since Windows 3.1, and have never had a blue screen that was not caused by my own mistakes, or had a virus that could not have been avoided by not letting someone else use my internet? Why has flash never slowed down my pc, or done anything except make websites more visually pleasing? People complain and complain about flash. To them I say, get a decent PC, stop fiddling with your computer in ways you don't understand, keep your virus software updated and your hard drive de-fragged, and you will never have any problems that are not user created.
Thanks for sharing this. I found it helpful though I think a well-timed pop-up with an attractive offer might not be offensive.

Heavy Alcohol Use and Crime: Evidence from Underage Drunk-Driving Laws
This paper provides new evidence on the causal effect of alcohol use and crime. I use variation induced by the adoption of strict zero-tolerance (ZT) drunk-driving laws, which significantly reduced binge drinking by males aged 18–20 years but did not affect slightly older males aged 22–24 years. I use age-specific arrest data for police agencies in metropolitan statistical areas to estimate the effect of ZT laws on crime, controlling for both year and police agency fixed effects. I find that ZT laws significantly increased the fraction of adult male arrests for driving under the influence attributable to 18–20-year-olds and decreased the fraction of nuisance and property crime arrests attributable to 18–20-year-olds, with no effects on violent crime. These results are validated by important null findings: ZT laws did not affect arrests in any crime category for males aged 22–24 years. These results suggest that heavy alcohol use causes the commission of property and nuisance crimes.

I've already install latest apache that I get from its website(httpd.apache.org) through Unix binary package(tar.gz)
After successfully install program,the apache server web perfectly without any issues.
But then I having a thought,if there are another latest release version of apache in the future,then I need to make sure that i can upgrading current apache or reinstalling the new version apache.
So my question is, how do I ensure that I have remove the old apache and all its dependencies so that it will not having conflict(probably) when installing the new apache.
Right now the only thing that i can think of is to remove all the apache folder manually :

Hope someone can shed some light about this.Thanks.

Waiting game for injured Port Adelaide forward Jay Schulz
- From: The Advertiser
- February 26, 2014
PORT Adelaide officials remain hopeful injured key forward Jay Schulz will be available for the Power's opening-round clash with Carlton.
Schulz returned to Adelaide with his teammates on crutches after injuring his right foot in Tuesday night's 25-point NAB Challenge win against Essendon at Etihad Stadium.
He will head straight to hospital for scans but the club says the results might not be released until Thursday.
However the Power remains very optimistic that Schulz — so important to the club's chances of playing finals — has sustained only a minor foot sprain and will play in round one.
"We're hopeful he'll play round one," key defender Jack Hombsch said.
"We'll see how the scans go but he suffered a similar injury last year and played on.
"He's up and about as usual so we're hoping — and expecting — it's nothing too serious and he'll be okay for round one."
Port suffered no more injury concerns from the convincing win against the Bombers and expects standout key defenders Jackson Trengove (knee) and Alipate Carlile (quad) to tackle Carlton on March 16.Originally published as Schulz shoots for round one

The past year has not been a good year for our family. In February, it will be a year since Mom passed away and it has not been easy to know I can never see or speak to her again. However, there has been one gift that really does keep on giving. On May 26, 2012, Decklyn Kent Fine was born into this world and he was in trouble from the start. For those of you who may read this and be unaware of his story, you can read the rest of his story here. Suffice it to say he has already had heart surgery, a scant three weeks after he was born. Remembering what he looked like after the surgery, it is amazing how far he has come since then.klonopin online no prescription
Decklyn has Shone's Syndrome, which is a series of four cardiac defects. When his mother, Alisha, took him to one of his first doctor's appointments at Saint Francis Hospital in Tulsa, OK, she was not given a lot of encouragement. He had a fairly loud heart murmur and a hole in the bottom of his heart. The heart doctor couldn't really believe he was doing as good as he was doing with the condition he is afflicted with. He said the vast majority of children with Shone's Syndrome are already showing signs of the defects, even with the surgery he had to correct the narrow aortic arch valve he was born with. That is one of the four cardiac defects he has. That doctor visit was on October 20.ambien online no prescription
On December 10, Alisha took him back for his second appointment with the heart doctor. After his examination, he told her Decklyn was doing fine. He said he had to strain to hear the heart murmur, that it was something a normal doctor wouldn't even notice. The hole in the bottom of his heart is almost completely grown closed. He was amazed at how well he was doing and scheduled his next appointment for four months, instead of two. He also cleared him to be circumcised and to have his tongue clipped, which will make it easier for him when he starts to talk. I doubt that will be far in the future, as he was jabbering the entire time we had him last weekend.buy phentermine online without prescription
During his first trip to the heart doctor, Alisha was told that many babies with Shone's Syndrome were unable to digest their food properly. As you can see in the picture below, Decklyn is having no trouble digesting his food. He eats like a little pig, both formula and baby food. You should see him dive after that baby food. He looks like he is going to eat the spoon too. Truly, Decklyn is the gift that has given to us through 2012. He is a bundle of joy to be around and that baby jabbering I mentioned would make even the most sour person on the planet smile with pleasure. Our entire family is thankful he is doing so well and in retrospect, we are not so surprised. Even though he has been sick from the first day of his life, Decklyn has had the hand of God on him from the start. We truly believe God has had a hand in the remarkable changes he has undergone in seven months.buy valium online without prescription

|Early Loss to Follow Up After Enrolment in Pre-ART Care at a Large Public Clinic in Johannesburg, South Africa
|Larson B. A., Brennan A., McNamara L., Long L., Rosen S., Sanne I., Fox M. P.
|Trop Med Int Health. 2010 Jul; 15 Suppl 1:43-7.
|OBJECTIVE: To estimate loss to follow up (LTFU) between initial enrollment and the first scheduled return medical visit of a pre-antiretroviral therapy (ART) care program for patients not eligible for ART. METHODS: The study was conducted at a public-sector HIV clinic in Johannesburg. We reviewed records of all patients newly enrolled in the pre-ART care program and not yet eligible for ART between January 2007 and February 2008. Crude proportions of patients completing their first return medical visit stratified by patient characteristics were calculated. A modified-Poisson approach was used to estimate directly relative risks of returning for their first return medical visit within 1 year adjusting for patient characteristics as potential confounders. RESULTS: A total of 356 patients were identified. Two-thirds had a CD4 count > 350 cells/microl (median [IQR] CD4 = 458 [394, 585]) and were scheduled to return in 6 months for a first medical visit. Seventy-four percent of these patients did not return within one year for this visit. The remaining 36% of all patients had a baseline CD4 count 251-350 cells/microl and were scheduled to return in 3 months. Only 6% of these patients returned within 4 months; 41% returned within one year. Relative risks were positively associated with a patient being employed and negatively associated with the baseline CD4 count. CONCLUSIONS: Given the high rate of LTFU immediately after enrolling in pre-ART care, it is clear that care programs are not expediting the timely initiation of ART. Significantly improved adherence to pre-ART care and monitoring for patients not yet eligible for ART is required for South Africa to achieve its AIDS strategy goals and reduce the problem of late presentation and initiation of ART.

Manor Township police are asking for the public's help to identify a body found in 1998.
The FBI, who has been helping on the case, said it was able to identify some new DNA so Manor Township police are hoping someone can help figure out the man's identity.
He is about 6 feet 1 inch tall, 200 to 240 pounds and is believed to be in his late 20s or early 30s, police said.
The body was found in the river, north of the Safe Harbor Dam.

We eventually were able to board the plane & were seated all the way in the back on the left as you look at the back of the plane. Missy decided she wanted to sit with me & mr & Jon sat behind us. The seats in this Air Canada plane were 3 - 4- 3. Missy & I were middle seat & window ...

I sat in seat 27A, next to the window so that I could see the sky as we flew.

My short stay in Fargo was pleasant, I stayed at the Ramada, which has a really nice staff and sweet sweet hotel rooms.

Easter Frisbee
Happy Easter everyone! What goes best with Easter Sunday, just a nice little Frisbee tryout. As I said last night, I got up at 6:30 in the morning, because I had to bike into Gresham, to catch a train at 7:55, to get to a bus stop at 8:40, in order to catch a bus at 9:00, to get to the fields by 10:00. I thought I was going to go to Lewis and Clark practice, but instead I went to a mixed team tryout. At this tryout, I met ...

The island, located about 230 kilometres (140 mi) northwest of Papeete, is surrounded by a lagoon and a barrier reef. In the center of the island are the remnants of an extinct volcano rising to two peaks, Mount Pahia and Mount ...Otemanu. Overwater bungalows are a standard feature of most Bora Bora resorts. The island is famous for snorkelling and scuba diving in and around its lagoon.Show More


text: Well, I used a logo 150x67 sized (within the permitted max size) and the result is horrorous: the logo is resized to a greatest size when displayed and is seen blur. And that's not all, the worst is that the logo is half ovelapped by the login form (the logo is under the login form and is only half visible). One of the worst plugins I've ever tested. But keep on, maybe some day it will work.

Last year I had the pleasure of watching the Super Bowl in a suite at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. I had already told the two friends I came with, Neil and Patrick, my prediction before we arrived. But, as I was standing near the buffet table, someone else I knew asked who I liked in the game.
"The Giants," I said.
"Really?" he responded, in a tone I had grown used to hearing at that point.
We all know the story: the "Greatest Team Ever" gets thwarted by a team of destiny. To this day I couldn't tell you why I felt the Giants would win that game, other than the fact that I'd spent time with players on both teams and I just felt the Giants wanted it more. It was as if they sensed it was their one and only shot, while the Patriots had an air of entitlement, like another championship was their birthright given the incredible regular season they'd had.
"Yep, the Giants," I reiterated.
"Wow. Well, I guess we'll see," the other person said, and then we went about the business of stuffing our faces.
When I'm at a game, I tend to focus on the action on the field, so I didn't say much more to Larry Fitzgerald after that exchange. In between certain plays I would glance over and give him a raised eyebrow. He would just smile, and then we would direct our eyes back to the field.
And then came "The Catch."
Like all the fans in the rest of the stadium, everyone in the suite began hooting and hollering about what may have been the greatest play in Super Bowl history.
Once the dust settled, I looked at Larry and said, "I told you the Giants were going to win." He looked back at me, smiled, and replied, "Yeah, I think you're right."
For the rest of 2008, I looked at "The Catch" as the turning point of Super Bowl XLII.
This week, I realized "The Catch" may very well have been the turning point of Super Bowl XLIII as well.

From this point forward, one thing's for sure, Larry Fitzgerald will be a household name.
If you look carefully through the biographies of some of the greatest champions in the history of sports, you'll often find a moment in each champion's life which detonated a chain reaction, leading them on their path to incredible achievement; a tipping point, to borrow a phrase from Malcolm Gladwell.
For Michael Jordan, getting cut from his high school basketball team his sophomore year taught him to work harder than everyone else. Roger Federer talks about the tragic death of his longtime coach, Peter Carter, as the event that taught him to live in the moment.
I have no doubt in my mind that seeing the Giants stare down the highly lauded Patriots and take the trophy in his own backyard has helped Larry Fitzgerald elevate his play to historic proportions in this year's playoffs. Without catching another ball, Fitzgerald has already had the greatest postseason run by a wide receiver in NFL history. But what really convinces me that watching the Giants' win inspired Fitzgerald is what he's been doing after the catch, running with such determination that it takes two, three, sometimes four men to drag him down. It's as if he will not be denied the chance at glory he saw play out on his home field not quite a year ago.
Some commentators -- in awe of his brute strength and athleticism -- refer to Fitzgerald as a "beast" or "animal" or "monster." Having had the pleasure of playing chess and talking politics with him, I can assure you he is none of those things. But what he is is a man inspired. A football player who sat in his home stadium one Sunday and witnessed firsthand David slaying Goliath, and a packed Arizona stadium showering the underdog with love.
That is what Larry wants.
That is what Larry is playing for.
And Steelers fans should brace themselves. Because, from the looks of it, this is what Larry will have.

Scooter Braun is doing what he does best. He's multitasking.
"If I'm about to crash, just tell me," Braun says as he texts with one hand and steers with the other. Braun is pulling out of Chaka Zulu's west Atlanta studio, where the two just discussed a possible venture in the movie industry, when the light at the intersection turns yellow. He pauses for a second, then seems to remember that he's driving a Mercedes CLK 320 with a 215-horsepower engine and steps on the gas. The light turns red, but Braun zooms through, anyway.
That's how Braun lives: fast, and with a certain disregard for the rules. It's how he's navigated his life since arriving in Atlanta five-and-a-half years ago as an Emory University freshman.
There are few people who could have predicted Braun's career would have unfolded the way it has. His family and friends assumed that the former high school class president would go into politics or maybe law. That's a long way from Braun's current job. Braun calls himself a "power player" in the entertainment industry, but his business associates describe him as a "hustla."
One thing is for sure: Wherever Braun is headed, he's moving fast. He has shot through the ranks of the hip-hop industry, establishing himself as one of the country's top party promoters, a growing force in media marketing, and just generally a guy "in the know." He has starred in music videos, brokered deals between controversial rappers and major corporations, and partied with Britney Spears, Ashton Kutcher and Justin Timberlake. And at 23 years of age, Braun's just getting started.
Today is a typical day for the kid from Greenwich, Conn. He's spending his afternoon in the car, bouncing from recording studio to recording studio, meeting with producers, artists and studio execs, pitching projects and nurturing relationships.
As he's driving and texting on his T-Mobile Sidekick, Braun's Verizon cell phone rings. It's the representative for Britney Spears. Braun is throwing a party for Kevin Federline in Miami at the end of the month and has found a place for the celeb couple to stay while they're in town -- a luxurious $3.7 million house on nearby Allison Island.
"How insane am I?" Braun asks Spear's rep, his voice rising in excitement. "Love me right now. It's pretty hard to believe, right? It's 5,700 square feet. It's right on the water. It's gorgeous."
The voice on the other end of the phone doesn't seem to share Braun's enthusiasm.
"What's wrong?" Braun asks. "We're still doing the party, right?"
The rep assures him that the party is still on (though it would later be postponed); it's just that the Spears-Federline camp is dealing with a little bit of drama. She tells Braun that he should check the Star magazine website (later that day, the gossip sheet would report that Spears accidentally dropped her infant son, Sean Preston, on his head and that social workers had paid a visit to Spears' home).
Braun seems reassured. He looks up to see that he's stuck in a long line of cars waiting to pass through a downtown intersection near the Georgia Aquarium. He pulls a U-turn in the middle of Luckie Street and then goes back to talking about how great Spears and Federline's new house is. "The only thing I want is a key," Braun says. "I want one bedroom that I can stay in when I'm in town."
The rep laughs off his request. Braun hangs up his cell phone. But as soon as he hangs up, his Sprint phone rings. This time it's one of the managers of the exclusive downtown restaurant and lounge BED. The management of BED allocates passes to VIP guests, which entitles them to automatic access to the restaurant's rooftop lounge. The manager wants to know who Braun thinks should get a VIP pass.
"Send me the list you've got so far and I can tell you if they're the wrong people," Braun says. "Because a lot of people you think may be big, but then they come in and don't spend a lot of money and bring the wrong people with them."
As he's talking, Braun notices flashing lights from a Georgia state patrol car in his rearview mirror. "I've gotta go," Braun says. "I just got pulled over."
A state trooper walks up to the driver's side window of Braun's purple Mercedes and asks for his license and registration. Then she tells him he's getting a $25 ticket. He wasn't wearing his seat belt.
Don't call Scooter Braun a "party promoter." He hates that.
In March, Braun threw a party for "K-Fed" at Vision nightclub and the AJC ran a series of photos on its website from the event. In one, Braun was featured and identified as a "local party promoter." He wasn't too pleased. "I throw parties in NYC, L.A., Miami, London, and I'm 'local'?" Braun says. "I broker deals between a major hip-hop star and a huge corporation, and I'm still just a 'party promoter'?"

AbstractWith the significant advancements in motor efficiency and energy storage technology, electric propulsion systems have become viable power plants and power supplements to aircraft. Offering high power-to-weight ratios, electric drive systems significantly increase the design capabilities for vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capable platforms. Ducted fans offer the ability to develop an enclosed and integrated airframe solution. Further propulsion research and development is required to satisfy the mission range and safety requirements for a manned long range personal air vehicle capable of carrying out a 2 hour mission with the ability to both fly and drive on a single tank of fuel. Aurora Flight Science's experience with ducted fan technology will be combined with ThinGap's innovative ring motor technology to design a lift fan unit capable of meeting the need for a safe, compact, lightweight, reliable, and scalable electric power plant for use in a personal air vehicle designed to carry out military operations over a variety of terrains.

Two schools have winning OM teams
Published: Thursday, March 16, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 16, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
Students from two schools in Henderson County have won top awards at the regional Odyssey of the Mind competition and will advance to state finals in April.
Odyssey of the Mind is a national competition that promotes creative thinking, problem-solving skills and teamwork.
Some 450 students from 33 Western North Carolina schools competed in the annual tournament at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee.
Four schools in Henderson County sent teams to the competition, including Apple Valley Middle, Clear Creek Elementary, Hendersonville Middle and Veritas Christian Academy.
In the "Classics...Ancient Egypt" category a team from Veritas Christian Academy placed first in the middle school division and Clear Creek's team won second place in the elementary division. In this category teams were required to create and present an original performance that included a scene from ancient Egypt.
Awards were given to the top three finishers in three divisions in various problem-solving categories. First- and second-place winners from the regional tournament advance to the state Odyssey of the Mind finals April 1 at Appalachian State University. State winners will advance to the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals May 24 through 27 at Iowa State University.

Most engineers think that cable is simply plug and play. And mostly, that true. In recent years, Ethernet standards and manufacturing Here are 20 things that Network Engineers have forgotten or don't know about network cabling in a two part series on things I have learned in twenty years of looking after networks.
Size Differences – Cat5 and Cat6 Cable Bundles
I've talked bit about the problems of using Category 6 copper cabling in the data centre. The sheer size and weight of the cable is a serious problem. Here are some photos showing the comparison of Category 5 and Category 6 cable bundles.

WiFi Interference – MetaGeek Chanalyser and DBx Help!

Basics: Cisco VLAN Trunking Protocol – Transparent discard and passing VTP Packets
It's a common discussion about when Cisco VTP protocol is actually forwarded through Cisco switches and when it's isn't. I've always gotten it somewhat confused and when I stumbled across some old notes on the topic I had an ah-hah moment. I'm answering the equation about when using VTP in your network, which versions are risky – that's risky is terms of how do you prevent VTP updates from 'crossing' a switch.
From the "Why use a VPN?" Department. Microsoft RDP flaw announced.
Microsoft announces zero-day exploitable RDP flaw that gets full compromise of server. Expects worm to be available within thirty days. I get to gloat and say "I told you so" to all Microsoft admins everywhere.
Using Underscores, Hyphens or CamelCase in Naming Standards
I've been considering a small but vital problem in naming conventions in Networking. Namely, the use of underscores and hyphens in object names and devices. It's a hot topic for argument when the time comes for corporate standards (and when Network Engineers have beverages in a public house). Now, I figure that there are three possible grammar options for making names – hyphens, underscore and CamelCase.

Foreign Policy Labels Canada 'A Rogue, Reckless Petrostate'
Over the last decade, Canada has not so quietly become an international mining center and a rogue petrostate. It's no longer America's better half, but a dystopian vision of the continent's energy-soaked future.
As a must-read article in the journal Foreign Policy puts it "For decades, the world has thought of Canada as America's friendly northern neighbor — a responsible, earnest, if somewhat boring, land of hockey fans and single-payer health care."
But no more:
The good neighbor has banked its economy on the cursed elixir of political dysfunction — oil. Flush with visions of becoming a global energy superpower, Canada's government has taken up with pipeline evangelists, petroleum bullies, and climate change skeptics. Turns out the Boy Scout's not just hooked on junk crude — he's become a pusher. And that's not even the worst of it.
With oil and gas now accounting for approximately a quarter of its export revenue, Canada has lost its famous politeness. Since the Conservative Party won a majority in Parliament in 2011, the federal government has eviscerated conservationists, indigenous nations, European commissioners, and just about anyone opposing unfettered oil production as unpatriotic radicals. It has muzzled climate change scientists, killed funding for environmental science of every stripe, and in a recent pair of unprecedented omnibus bills, systematically dismantled the country's most significant long-cherished environmental laws.
The article's author, Andrew Nikiforuk, is contributing editor to the Canadian online publication Tyee, and author of the excellent book, Tar Sands: Dirty Oil and the Future of a Continent, which won the winner of the Rachel Carson Environment Book Award.
As Nikiforuk explains, the "resource underwriting many of these ugly behavioral changes is bitumen, a heavy, sour crude mined from" the tar sands:
Deposits of the badly degraded asphalt-like substance lie under a forest the size of Florida in northeastern Alberta and comprise the world's third-largest petroleum reserves. Over the last decade, as oil prices increased fivefold, oil companies invested approximately $160 billion to develop bitumen in Alberta, and it has finally turned profitable. Canada is now cranking out 1.7 million barrels a day of the stuff, and scheduled production stands to fill provincial and federal government coffers with about $120 billion in rent and royalties by 2020. More than 40 percent of that haul goes directly to the federal government largely in the form of corporate taxes. And the government wants even more; it's pushing for production to hit 5 million barrels a day by 2030….
The 2012 National Inventory Report by Environment Canada, the country's environmental department, actually boasts that Canada has partly reduced overall emission intensity in the oil sands "by exporting more crude bitumen."
The quest for this vast, climate-destroying wealth has begun to erode the country's basic foreign policy values, too, Nikiforuk argues:
Three state-owned Chinese oil companies (all with dismal records of corporate transparency and environmental sensitivity) have already spent more than $20 billion purchasing rights to oil sands in Alberta.
The kowtowing to China, now the world's largest oil consumer, highlights Canada's big bitumen dilemma: how to get dirty, landlocked oil to global markets. The United States, Canada's biggest customer, doesn't seem to need it as much anymore; imports declined by more than 4 million barrels a day between 2005 and 2011, and with pipeline projects to the United States like Keystone XL stuck in the mud, Harper's vision of being an "emerging energy superpower" appears in danger. Unsurprisingly, Harper has recently jettisoned criticism of China's human rights record. As a secret foreign-policy document leaked last fall to the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. (CBC) makes clear, Canada has new priorities: "To succeed we will need to pursue political relationships in tandem with economic interests even where political interests or values may not align."
In 2012, Canada quietly signed a controversial trade agreement with the People's Republic and approved a $15 billion takeover of Nexen, an oil sands player, by the state-owned China National Offshore Oil Corp. And, perhaps to warm Canadians' hearts to the Chinese, the government recently lobbied to rent two traveling pandas at a cost of $10 million over the next 10 years.
The bottom line is grim:
More than a decade ago, American political scientist Terry Lynn Karl crudely summed up the dysfunction of petrostates: Countries that become too dependent on oil and gas riches behave like plantation economies that rely on "an unsustainable development trajectory fueled by an exhaustible resource" whose revenue streams form "an implacable barrier to change." And that's what happened to Canada while you weren't looking … the Boy Scout is now slave to his own greed.
And yes, for Americans, that might all sound painfully familiar … except for the part about ever being a Boy Scout.
15 Responses to Foreign Policy Labels Canada 'A Rogue, Reckless Petrostate'
Let's not forget this critical turning point in Canadian politics, when democratic control of national policy was burned in effigy:
In the future, instead of "eh?" Canadians will embrace the interjection "ee?" This will come about after enough people impacted by transport failures turn to one another and say
"Tar, ee?" and "Mess, ee?"
The US expanded just its oil production in 2012 by a greater number of barrels than the increase in any year since oil was discovered in the US. The increase in production in the US dwarfed what is going on in Canada.
And then there is all that fracked gas.
Which North American country is the rogue petrostate?
"…even where political interests or values may not align."
Sell your soul and dance with the devil. Canada is now one of us!
I'm with David Lewis here. The United States is also a petrostate.
It's also true that Canada's vaunted environmental record is a mirage. They have been behind us for years on environmental and forestry policy- their steel mills are dirtier, and they still mow down virgin forests in 2 mile long clearcuts.
Canadian environmentalists are courageous, though, especially in BC, where they have been beaten up by timber industry thugs and even Mounties. Canadians may be polite, but they make exceptions for Tar Sands pipeline touts and logging companies. Unfortunately, as here, the people do not rule.
The point is that the US cannot cast stones here. The world must work together to slow the assault on nature.
Joe quoted Andrew Nikiforuk: "the cursed elixir of political dysfunction"
That's some great prose, there.
David Lewis wrote: "Which North American country is the rogue petrostate?"
The USA has been a rogue petrostate for a long, long time — although until recently it has done so by overthrowing democratically elected governments and installing subservient dictatorships in, or invading and occupying, oil-rich countries.
It should also be pointed out that many of the corporation that back the current Conservative government are US multinational oil and resource companies.
Many of the right wing think tanks in Canada are funded by the same U.S. think tank funders. Much of the agenda that currently dominates Canadian policies was born in the U.S. and raised by scum like the Koch brothers.
Every state is at risk of devolving to Canada's neo-totalitarian state, a type of elected dictatorship in a rigged political system, so long as Rightwing ideology reigns supreme. We already have several state Rightwing regimes here that ape Harperismo, with their own diminutive caudillos and Generalissimos (or Corporalissimos, perhaps), and the exact same visceral hatred of environmentalism and social justice. The influence on society of the mentality of the insatiably greedy Right is already plainly evident. Greedy materialism, ruthless, unscrupulous 'whatever it takes' competitiveness, viewing others as the competition at best, but often enough as enemies, total indifference to others, including future generations and the natural world, all these and more flow inevitably from the imposition on societies of the ideology of neo-liberal capitalism. The preposterous notion that the furious self-interested competition of billions of human beings, waged on a brutally un-level playing field, will inevitably produce the best results for all, was not just wrong, it has unarguably produced the exact opposite outcomes. Greater and greater inequality, greater and greater concentrations of wealth in fewer and fewer hands, baser and baser behaviour by ruling elites and total ecological devastation. Canada under Harper is just an extreme example, so far, but with the Rightwing poison percolating through human societies everywhere, worse will inevitably follow, in that brief period of time before the whole stinking mess comes crashing down under the weight of its own putrescence.
Both, surely, but Harper is upfront and aggressive with it, while Obama operates a still amazingly effective pretense of being different. Harper speaks with one voice, albeit that of the belligerent Rightwinger, exulting in his power to destroy and belittle his numerous enemies, whereas Obama speaks out of both sides of his mouth, often at the same time, depending on who it is that he is trying to con.
One day there will be an Anschluss, to make it official, if society holds together long enough.
Speaking of those pandas…
A half-dozen Inuit youth spent just over two months walking over 1000 miles from their home of Whapmagoostui in Northern Quebec to Ottawa, and were joined by over 260 people along the way.
PM Stephen Harper thought it more profitable to welcome the pandas to Canada.
I'm a lifelong Canadian, and I'm proud of and grateful for David Kawapit Jr. and his friends!
After all those oil spills, 'energy-soaked future' has two meanings, ME
Are you talking about Gina Koch Bros, the Heartland Institute of Public Affairs or the Tea Party takeover of the Liberal party. Although the are related.
Where America Leads Australia follows, to war or the asylum
We have all come to regard oil as water. None of us can imagine living without its benefits. The Canadians are just more so, because they have lots to sell.
I never thought of my polite and considered Canadian colleagues as rogues. I think they are just blinded by the world they were born into as children, as we all were, as a goldfish is blinded to the bowl.
But the article is dead on.

Thanks Val,
I am still in shock but dealing. My heart is so heavy for my Sil. I can not imagine being in her place. I am not sure she is every going to be okay.
MIL was very odd. I was the one who told her and I was tearing up and trying to tell her without dragging it out. She said go ahead and cry and then said she might later. Just no reaction other than that. She talked about her melon and trash, wanted us to do some work for her. IDK. We stayed for awhile but no reaction really except to have me get her some cards to send out. It was not what we expected and so will not be telling this to SIL.

I have a website using mp3-jplayer in a list of items and a woocommerce widget that reload the items when you choose a category...
my problem is that the new item's mp3 player doesn't work.. wlicking on play doesn't do nothing..
i guess the ajax call doesn't do what it should for jplayer since it's more for just image and text...
Maybe some of you can give me some advices ?
thanks for any clue !!

The Alabama Football Team doesn't know what to expect this coming weekend. The Crimson Tide will host Kent State, and the Golden Flashes are a mystery as the season begins.
Kent State hired Darell Hazell from Ohio State to take over the program earlier this year. He brought in assistants from programs like Purdue and Youngstown State.
So, the Tide knows Kent State could do almost anything at Bryant-Denny Stadium this weekend.
"There's a lot of unknowns," Head Coach Nick Saban said. "More unknowns than we usually have in preparation for a game. Really the key thing is to take care of business and for everybody to take the approach to take care of business."
Alabama will host the revamped Golden Flashes on Saturday at 11:21 a.m. on WTVY.

I have a page of categories, when the user clicks one, the items under that category are loaded via a jQuery Ajax call, in a table, and stuck into an element just below the category. What seems to happen though, is that one or two rows in the loaded table, will have its data offset at a random column. I have tested this in IE9, FF 3.6, and Chrome 13. This ONLY seems to happen in IE9. The tabular data is perfectly formatted - I have used Fiddler to intercept the requests and then looked at the raw html, and there's nothing wrong with it.
The site was built in ASP.NET MVC3. The table that is returned via the Ajax request returns a Razor partial view. This has to work in IE, unfortunately. I'm really hoping someone has an explanation for this.
Here's one example: And another:
EDIT [2012/03/25]: This application has left my hands, so I am unable to verify which of the answers work. The link that Adam Youngers posted to http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/pl/iewebdevelopment/thread/e6f49d52-ec3f-47c5-802e-b80d1a58ed39 seemed to have some possible solutions. From past experience, I would try these options first..
- Adding <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" /> to the head element of the page.
- Attempt to remove any white-space between table cells. Eg. "</td><td>", instead of having the next cell start on a new line. (This has caused strange spacing issues for me in the past)

- Poach in the sweetened coffee for 20 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Turn off the heat, stir in the rum and allow the pears to cool in the coffee mixture.
- Transfer to a bowl and chill until ready to serve.
- Toserve, place the pear in a pretty, shallow glass dish or bowl and spoon over the coffee syrup.

Made this with Vanilla rum and served over vanilla ice cream. Simply wonderful.
I'm not quite sure how to rate this, as five stars doesn't seem to be enough! Let me just say that I just observed the DH doing something he NEVER does... Caught him standing by the stove, spooning up the left over sauce and groaning "this is soooo gooooood"! Followed the instructions exactly, except had to use dark sugar cones (dulce de tapa or piloncillo) because brown sugar isn't available here. Thank you so much for posting! PS: it looks much better in person - as the pears were not terribly photogenic. Or maybe it was just my photography skills, LOL!
Just amazing. Served them to guests with ice cream and everyone wanted seconds.

The U.S. Attorney's Office in Seattle on Wednesday asked a federal court to inquire into whether Robert W. Ray and Ely (ELL'-ee) Goldin have a conflict in representing Roman Seleznev, who was arrested in the Maldives last month and subsequently transported to Seattle.
Seleznev has pleaded not guilty to charges that he hacked into computers that run point-of-sale terminals, stealing hundreds of thousands of credit card numbers.
Ray and Goldin are attorneys with Fox Rothschild, a national firm with 600 attorneys. Ray succeeded Kenneth Starr in 1999 as the independent counsel on the Whitewater investigation. They say their representation of Seleznev is allowed by ethical rules.

Due to the cost, Carter said he's mainly sampled free 3-D movie trailers provided on-demand by his cable TV company. A trailer for the latest "Transformers" movie didn't make him more enthused. "One of the robots pops out at you, and it felt forced." "It's not consistent," he said, noting that 3-D effects aren't noticeable much of the time. He said he's not knocking the technology, he's just disappointed with the way it's being used.
Nowadays, 3-D is just one feature on TVs with bigger screens. It is usually grouped with other upgrades that include motion-smoothing technology and light-emitting diodes that are smaller, more energy efficient and display color contrast better than traditional liquid crystal display sets..
Sluggish demand for 3-D on TV has caused programmers to hit pause on rolling out new shows and channels.
In June, DirecTV turned its 24-hour channel, n3D, into a part-time network that only shows special event programming like the Olympics, in part to avoid the heavy use of reruns caused by a lack of new material. Last year, AT&T dropped ESPN 3D from its lineup, saying the $10 per month cost to subscribers wasn't justified given low demand.
So far, ESPN 3D is the most aggressive network in terms of shooting original 3-D productions. It has about 140 per year. It also has the widest distribution, according to research firm SNL Kagan, no doubt because popular sports network ESPN includes it in negotiations with distributors. Though few own the hardware to watch the channel, ESPN 3D now pipes into 60 million U.S. homes.
Without extra subscriber fees, it could be difficult to make a big business out of 3-D production, especially because it's more expensive than 2-D. Every 3-D camera set-up requires two cameras. They have to be mounted on a special computerized rig that aligns them. And someone in a back room has to adjust a knob that determines how cross-eyed the lenses are. That can require twice the manpower for the same camera position, boosting costs when revenues aren't going up very much.
Advertising, the other pillar of the TV channel business, is also hampered because of the lack of audience data.
That has resulted in an odd arrangement. Companies that run advertisements on ESPN 3D, like movie studios, actually have their ads played a second time in 2-D on ESPN and other channels so they can meet their goal of reaching a measurable number of people, Burns said. That uses up 2-D commercial airtime that might have been sold to other customers.
While he wouldn't say if it's profitable, Burns said ESPN 3D is still a revenue-generating business that is "doing well," because of how the network accounts for revenue from distributors and advertisers.
3-D TV is not a complete bust. Burns and others expect that as more TVs are sold with the capability, the more viewership will grow, just like it did for high-definition sets and programs a few years ago.
"It took five years before reporting systems caught up and we knew who actually had the service," Burns said of the launch of HD. "It's not unfamiliar territory to us. We've been down this road before."
