A man escaped with minor injuries after the Fulton Hogan
truck he was driving rolled about 25m down a bank into a
Brighton creek, near Dunedin, yesterday.
Emergency services were called when the gutter-cleaning
''sludge'' truck rolled off McIntosh Rd into Otokia Creek
about 4.30pm.
A St John ambulance spokesman said the male driver was
transported to Dunedin Hospital with minor facial injuries.
The truck rested in the creek on its passenger side, beeping,
hazard lights flashing and its engine running, as a fluid
created an iridescent sheen on the creek water.
A truck width of trees and bush were flattened on the bank.
Lookout Point and Roslyn Fire Station crew told Fulton Hogan
management when they arrived that they could do little to
help salvage the truck.
Fulton Hogan Dunedin manager Richard Fulton said he was glad
no-one had been injured in the incident.
Bath St resident Jocelyn McIver said she was talking on the
phone to her daughter, when she looked out the window and saw
a ''big blue truck banging up the road'' across the creek
from her home.
''Then I heard an almighty bang and said to my daughter,
`there's a truck in the river'.''
While on the phone to emergency services, she saw the driver
sitting beside the truck and then climb up the bank and walk
up the road.
Mrs McIver said she had walked along McIntosh Rd last week
and talked with her husband, Graeme, about the narrowness of
the road and how it was a wonder somebody had not slid down
the bank.
The truck was left in place for the night, she said.
In 2011, two Delta contractors escaped injury when their
truck went down a bank in McIntosh Rd during weed-spraying.

This paper describes a methodology regarding an autonomous cruise control (ACC) of circulating multi-robot which is directly effective for solving the congestion regardless of the presence of a bottleneck. For this purpose, we focus on an external interaction force between the robots. This force is generated with the use of a virtual damper. In this methodology, two control scenarios are presented: a damping force acts on a moving robot as the external interaction force, (I) only when its preceding robot(s) is/are stopping or being congested and (II) when a robot exists in front of the moving robot, in order not to become involved in the congestion. This paper deals with a circuit and a robotic manufacturing-transportation system for industrial automation. Through simulation experiments, it is shown that the proposed ACC successfully solves the congestion, and finally, improves the throughput. In addition, the superiority of the two control scenarios, ACCs (I) and (II), is discussed.

The exponential growth of the interest and investigations in UAVs is strongly pushing the emergence of autonomous MFRs. This article presented some developments in the ASL-MFR project. A new design methodology was introduced and applied to a quadrotor and a coaxial helicopter enhancing appreciably the robots characteristics by allowing 100% thrust margin and 30 min autonomy (respectively, 40% and 20 min for CoaX). An original concept of hybrid active and passive control is introduced for CoaX. A simulation software permitting rapid MFR reconfiguration and various testing conditions was shown. Finally, a simulation of an obstacle avoidance controller was presented. The numerous developments presented in this article reinforce our conviction in the emergence of autonomous MFRs.

The suspected gunman in the Isla Vista, Calif., shootings was armed with three legally purchased handguns registered to him and 41 loaded magazines, Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown said on Saturday.
The gunman drove through Isla Vista in a black BMW on Friday night, shooting at people in the beachside community where many college students live. Seven people died in the rampage, including the suspect who was found dead inside of a crashed vehicle with a gunshot wound to the head, authorities said.

|Enabling/Exposing Lucene's MoreLikeThis search in Oak
|Fri, 13 Dec 2013 16:46:40 GMT
Hi, The software I'm building currently makes use of Lucene's MoreLikeThis [1] facilities in order to match users' searches with Nodes in a JCR repository. MoreLikeThis gives us much better results than, for example, simple full text search. We have currently implemented this by having our own Lucene indices. For efficiency and simplicity, we'd prefer to instead use the copy of Lucene that is already built into Oak. To do so, I think Oak would need to have an indexer configuration for this. Oak would also need a way to pass such queries through the jcr query api. I talked to Michael Marth about this: he suggested that we would need something similar to "rep:similar". I believe the current rep:similar can only take a node to be matched, as opposed to text to be matched, so it isn't exactly what we need. It is very close, though. Any thoughts? I filed [2] for tracking. Thanks, Laurie [1]: http://lucene.apache.org/core/3_0_3/api/contrib-queries/org/apache/lucene/search/similar/MoreLikeThis.html [2]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-1286

Years ago, before I wrote my first picture book, I thought that picture books were really easy to write. I figured, well, they are short and how hard can it be to write a short book?
How wrong I was.
First of all, when you are writing a picture book usually you are writing for a younger audience. So you have to use short sentences and simple words.
Secondly, you have to make it interesting. Most picture books are short, so you have to grab their attention and keep it.…Continue

Skip to comments.Justices defend Florida recount decision ('had no choice but to intervene' in the Florida fiasco)
Posted on 01/24/2007 11:26:25 PM PST by NormsRevenge
WASHINGTON - Three of the five Supreme Court justices who handed the presidency to George W. Bush in 2000 say they had no choice but to intervene in the Florida recount.
Comments from Justice Anthony Kennedy and retired Justice Sandra Day O'Connor are in a new book that was published this week. Justice Antonin Scalia made his remarks Tuesday at Iona College in New York.
Scalia, answering questions after a speech, also said that critics of the 5-4 ruling in Bush v. Gore need to move on six years after the electoral drama of December 2000, when it seemed the whole nation hung by a chad awaiting the outcome of the presidential election.
"It's water over the deck get over it," Scalia said, drawing laughs from his audience. His remarks were reported in the Gannett Co.'s Journal-News.
The court's decision to halt the recount of Florida's disputed election results, thus giving Bush the state's electoral votes, has been heavily criticized as an example of the court overstepping its bounds and, worse, being driven by politics.
Rather than let the recount take place and leave state officials and possibly Congress to determine the outcome of the election, the court's five conservative justices decided to intervene.
They eventually overturned a ruling of the Florida Supreme Court and halted the recount of the state's disputed election results 36 days after the voting. The decision effectively gave Bush Florida's electoral votes and the presidency by 537 votes.
"A no-brainer! A state court deciding a federal constitutional issue about the presidential election? Of course you take the case," Kennedy told ABC News correspondent Jan Crawford Greenburg in her new book, "Supreme Conflict."
Kennedy said the justices didn't ask for the case to come their way. Then-Vice President Al Gore's legal team involved the courts in the election by asking a state court to order a recount, Kennedy said.
Legal scholars and the four dissenting justices have said the Supreme Court should have declined to jump into the case in the first place.
In a decision made public on the evening of Dec. 12, 2000, the court said the recount violated the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause because Florida counties were allowed to set their own standard for determining whether to count a vote.
"Counting somebody else's dimpled chad and not counting my dimpled chad is not giving equal protection of the law," Scalia said at Iona. Justice Clarence Thomas and the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist, who died in 2005, also were part of the majority.
O'Connor said the Florida court was "off on a trip of its own."
She acknowledged, however, that the justices probably could have done a better job with the opinion if they hadn't been rushed.
Still, O'Connor said the outcome of the election would have been the same even if the court had not intervened.
She was referring to studies that suggest Bush would have won a recount limited to counties that Gore initially contested, although other studies said Gore might have prevailed in a statewide recount.
Good thing I refreshed the main page. I was just about to post this!
This woman is either purposely misleading or stupid. Two reasons that should disqualify you to become a justice on the S.C.
It's been on the wire for awhile. :-)
Some interesting comments.
My memory about this horrible time in our nation's history has mercifully faded, but I thought the Supreme Court ruled that Florida could recount the votes, but they had to recount ALL the votes, not just Al Gore's handpicked Democratic districts.
My, my. How objective and impartial. The article neglects to mention that the DEMS were the ones who initially appealed to the courts for help. But as all should know, only the ACLU has the right to take an appeal all the way to the Supreme Court. (see tagline)
You can bet this shill would state that differently if the Subpreme court had kept the counting and fiddling by the fla court open until the democraps could create enough ballots to give it al goreghoul.
"The court's decision to halt the recount of Florida's disputed election results, thus giving Bush the state's electoral votes, has been heavily criticized as an example of the court overstepping its bounds and, worse, being driven by politics.
Rather than let the recount take place and leave state officials and possibly Congress to determine the outcome of the election, the court's five conservative justices decided to intervene."
No, no, no, the Supreme Court did not decide to intervene. Two cases were brought before them and they decided to hear those cases.
"They eventually overturned a ruling of the Florida Supreme Court"
The ruling by the Florida Supreme Court changed Florida election law. This decision by the FSC was not based on any case. It was an attempt by the Florida judges to create or change law rather than interpret it. This is what we call an activist court. The action was ruled unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court.
"...and halted the recount of the state's disputed election results 36 days after the voting."
No, no, no. The US Supreme Court did not say cease and desist to all counting. The court ruled, in essence, count away but count the entire state, not just a tiny selected pocket of it. As a result, Al Gore collected his marbles (some of them anyway) and went home.
Thus began six years of Bush Bashing, bitterness on the part of the Democratic Party, and partisan hatred and hysteria that continues to damage our nation to this day.
At least that's how I remember it. Whoever wrote that AP article should give up journalism and try another career. Burger King is always hiring.
the USSC objected to...
Miami-Dade county,
some ballots examined by hand on Nov14,
w/decisions by the independedent county canvassing board.
to be added to...
after Dec.12
the rest of the ballots, consider undervotes only.
w/decisions from the FL. state courts
"... handed the presidency ..."
I love how they make this stuff up. Bush WON! And .. the reason I'm sure of that is because of some little known actions that were taken by the drive-by media.
One year after the 2000 election, as the law allows, several media groups, including the Boston Globe, the Washington Post, and the rest of the assorted lefties in the news media, petitioned the govt for a recount. They paid their money for the priviledge (hundreds of thousands of dollars) .. and began the recount. NOT ONE TIME DURING THE MANY RECOUNTS WERE THEY EVER ABLE TO ESTABLISH THAT GORE WON THE ELECTION; ONLY IF THEY CHEATED. SO AFTER MANY, MANY RECOUNTS - IT WAS FINALLY DETERMINED THAT BUSH DID WIN THE ELECTION - AND THE ACTUAL RECOUNT NUMBER WAS SOMETHING LIKE 1500 - instead of 537.
The fact that the same media groups NEVER REVEALED THIS INFORMATION EXCEPT ON THE BACK PAGES OF THEIR NEWSPAPERS - and never on the internet .. approximately 35% of Americans still believe Gore won the election. When you have media groups willing to deceive the public in order keep the hatred of Bush viable, that's more than dispicable .. it's traitorous.
Once they pulled off that deception .. the lies about the war were a cinch.
And .. as far as the courts were concerned .. the FL Supreme court were the ones who RE-WROTE the election laws of FL .. which is illegal. Once the election is in progress .. you cannot change the laws. This was the real reason the USSC stepped in to stop the fiasco.
All the court action was also deceptively reported on over and over and over. It ended with - the USSC "... handed the presidency to Bush ..." as if he hadn't actually won it.
I've never forgiven the media for this total deception.
'Forgive' them? You aren't naive enough to have believed they wouldn't lie to you. You don't forgive the sworn enemy who is doing everything it can to destroy you, you kill it. And that's what the Net is doing, little by little. I only hope there's enough time to save the nation from the corrosion the mainstream media bastards have created.
Well that's clear as mud.
I'll check in tomorrow to see if someone else answered my question in a way that is understandable.
I said, "I've never forgiven them ..."
So what are you complaining about now ..??
Well, the opening sentance of this article certainly proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that there's no bias at AP!
Al Gore made the decision on election night to destroy any normalcy that this country knew before that night. It has and never will be the same ever again. Al Gore is responsible for the the way politics is now fought and how the office of the President of the U.S.A. is treated so cheaply by the world.
Al Gore has taken this country to new lows every single time he has opened his mouth and allowing this disgrace to go on for well over a month made us a laughing stock globally.
I would love to sit here and blame Al Gore for just about every single problem we face as a nation today because of his and the DNC's election antics because Lord knows George W. Bush sure has taken the blame for everything under the sun since the election of 2000.
The bastard Gore destroyed this country the night he decided to withdraw his concession.
Al Gore deserves to be in prison for the rest of his life and not walking down the red carpet getting an Oscar in a month for a pile of shit documentary. He sold this country out with Clinton and put himself first before his country when it came time to the national election.
He can go to hell.
Amen and precisely the point.
It was close, very close. You play by the rules, there were two recounts according to the rules. Gore lost.
Anyone who cared more about the country than himself would have accepted the rules. Nixon did at least as much in 60.
Gore chose himself over the good of the country - and forever jepordized the confidence of the ballot box. A very damaging act for the republic.
This should haunt him forever. He should be a pariah and his public career should be over.
"Three of the five Supreme Court justices who handed the presidency to George W. Bush..."
Bullcr*p. No one "handed" George W. Bush anything - he won the election according to American law and electoral precedent.
Gee, nothing biased here. I saw no point in going any farther.
No problem with your memory, freelancer. That's exactly how it went down.
I'm more taken with the above article editorializing "...handed the presidency to..., ...example of court overstepping it's bounds...," - and my favorite; "... FIVE conservative judges..."!
ahhh, These AP marxists, gotta hand it to them, they give credit for Alito & Roberts imposing conservative presence - years before they were even selected.
An AP story that starts out like this is a good indication of bias. I'll read further....
Gore was recounting votes in democrat districts he had already won. I live in Broward County. It was an embarrassment to our country to watch our local democrat commissioners on t.v. examining hanging chads and giving additional votes to gore. As I recall, that's why the U.S. Supreme Court was appealed to and stepped in. Gore was being allowed to overule Florida's election laws with his selective hand counts.
I'll never forget that debacle, and I hope that nobody else does either.
He also selected districts that had enough crooked democRAT commissioners that he would likely get several votes drawn from thin air. You're right - it was the selective recounting that was highly questionable. Remember when one canvassing group tried to lock out republicans?
Yep, pretty obvious. Only those who are trying to re-write history believe differently.
I had not heard that there were four votes not to hear the case.
They were of course correct.
The chusing of electors for President and Vice-President from Florida was and is a nonjusticeable political question (if it isn't, then there are no political questions at all).
Our Constitution provides clear and unambiguous methods for resolving disputes of this kind, which should have been used.
Yes, but he had a lot of help from the Supreme Court.
The Congress could have and would have restored what Gore took away, had they not been pre-empted by the Court's foolish decision to rule on a political question.
The political question created by the FLA Supremes would have had a political resolution, and, at the very worst, Joe Lieberman would have been VP instead of Cheney.
When the USSC enters and attempts to resolve political questions (Roe v. Wade being the best example in our time, Scott v. Sanford the best of all time), disaster follows, as it did here.
It was in a Dade County district (Miami) where they were keeping the Republicans out of the recount.
In Palm Beach County, a democrat member of the commission was discovered to have a voting machine (of the famous punch card variety) in the trunk of his car during the recounts. Lets talk about the party of corruption.
That's the wrong way to say it.
Two branches of the Florida government, both elected by the People, were at war and trying to produce opposite results.
Fortunately for Bush, the branch on his side had sole Federal Constitutional authority in the matter, and, also fortunately for Bush, his party had a large majority of State delegations in the House of Representatives.
There was no possible way for Al Gore to become President, regardless of the illegal actions of the Florida Supreme Court (unless Bush and the GOP agreed). At the worst, the President of the Senate (Mr.Gore) would have received two envelopes from Tallahassee for counting, and would have placed the matter before a joint session of Congress, where he would have been (politically, legally, and definitively) defeated.
I didn't read it. I don't care what they say, the SC has no authority to tell states how to conduct elections. We need to impeach those jerks and get them off the bench.
The article is completely wrong. By a 7-2 decision, the Supreme Court found that subjecting some ballots to a higher degree of scrutiny than the rest violated the 14th Amendment. Ginsberg and Bryer (Clinton/Gore appointees) dissented.
By a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court held that the Florida Supreme Court (all Democrats) could not arbitrarily alter the state's election laws.
whatever do you mean?
Al Gore would not have won the recount inspite of what the dems screamed.
She is right. But what she didn't say is al gore would have gamed or cheated on the recount. A fair one would have given florida to Bush.
I am suffering some brain fade on this, but I thought that the count on the Supremes was something like 7-2 to stop the recount, 5-4 on what to do about it.
I agree with every word you said.
There is a disgust with Al Gore and his attempt to turn this country's electiion into a banana republic lookalike that I just can't get over.
When I look at him I see a child who never could play by the rules, an impossible entitled spoiled spoil sport whose parents raised him like a little Fauntleroy, a boy who other boys detested,,,all grown up trying to pervert the electoral system of the greatest republic ever known. And almost succeeding.
Thank God for the Supreme Court in this case.
"The Congress could have and would have restored what Gore took away, had they not been pre-empted by the Court's foolish decision to rule on a political question."
How in the world do you consider Gore and the Florida Supreme Court decisions overriding Florida's Election LAWS in the MIDDLE OF AN ELECTION a "POLITICAL" question????? Gore was violating the Florida Election Laws with his lawyers and the Florida Supreme Court was changing Florida Election Law, which is not their job. It's the Florida Legislature which writes or changes law, and not in the middle of an eleciton count. POLITICAL?????
Not to mention how very long righting that Fla supreme court would have taken. And not to forget, we were less than ayear away from a terrorist attack.
I shudder to think of what might have happened had that public travesty gone forward. It would have torn this country to bits.
Lookiing back, I am still in shock at that election. Nixon, who refused to contest his loss to Kennedy, did the right thing in my mind.
Gore is beyond contempt, beyond the pale. I cannot think of any better way to describe that most unmanly of men. Unmanly is the best advective I can think of for him.
The US Supreme Court stopped the disregard and rewriting of Florida's Elections laws during the election count by Gore and his attorneys and the rulings of the FL Supreme Court. The Florida Supreme Court overstepped its bounds. The Supreme Court wasn't telling states "how to conduct elections". The US Supreme Court was telling Florida it had the right to conduct the election according to it's EXISTING Election LAWS.
The decision was 7-1.
What is an election BUT a political question?
The XII Amendment clearly outlines how to resolve disputes of this type, and it does not mention any court.
Another factoid which has been drilled in the American psyche. The 5-4 ruling was to immediately stop the umpteenth post-election vote manufacturing recount. Two of the justices thought a few extra days (at most) could possibly be allowed.
The real vote in Bush v. Gore was 7-2 against counting some votes (winos, hanging chads, duplicates, overvotes and undervotes) more than others (military, people who understood how to mark a ballot). The only two in this key vote were the two Clinton appointees.
7-2 was the key vote in the ruling. 5-4 was only about the timing.
If everyone did their job, it would have been over on January 6, AND everyone would have gotten a valuable lesson in Con Law AND the result would have been undisputed.
An election is a political event. The counting of the votes follows law. There is a difference.
This story leans so hard to the left I fell out of my chair!
An election is an act of the People, not an act of the State.
The People, acting through their Representatives in Congress assembled, should be the judges.
Why you think this would have ended with everyone satisfied, I don't know. We had people trying to get electors to change their votes, right on national television!
I am certain that state delegations would have been badgered, threatened, and bribed to change votes. The media would have gone on record about how "unfair" this was (no matter how it is detailed in the Consititution) and we would have had democrats marching and perhaps rioting in the streets.
Throughout time, the people of Florida elected representatives who wrote our Florida Election Laws. The people of Florida voted in the election of Bush vs. Gore in 2000. The people of Florida expect the laws of our state of Florida to be observed during an election count. I, a citizen of Florida am offended that Al Gore took it upon himself to disregard the laws of my state of Florida in demanding his selective recounts. Mr. Gore then proceeded with his lawyers, to the FL Supreme Court to change the recount laws to his advantage in the midst of this election. I am happy, as a citizen of the United States and of Florida, that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that my State of Florida was to follow the existing laws that our state legislature put into place. There is no political problem.

VERGENNES — Posting two of its strongest routines of the winter at Saturday's championship competition at Vergennes Union High School, the Middlebury Union High School dance team finished second in each of its disciplines and third overall by a margin of just 2.75 points.
Mount Mansfield edged South Burlington for the overall title, 480.50-480.25, with the Tigers right behind at 477.75.
Here's the nut of what is happening with the proposed changes in the Search and Rescue bill, H.182, being discussed in the Vermont House Governmental Operations committee: The Vermont State Police botched a search mission for 19-year-old Levi Duclos a year ago January, and a summer study committee decided the wise thing to do was give the State Police even more money and power to keep control of search and rescue operations.
This Presidents' Day we walked the three flights of marble steps to the Lincoln Memorial. Warm hues of the setting sun glowed on the towering Washington Monument from the feet of Lincoln, captured as a mirror image in the reflecting pool, in a setting where throngs of visitors each day peer across the two-mile expanse to the Capitol building.
MONTPELIER — The Vermont House Governmental Operations committee has begun considering legislation to improve the way law enforcement agencies and emergency service personnel respond to calls of lost hikers, skiers and boaters.
BRISTOL — The voters of the Bristol Police Department Special Service District will be asked to consider a 6.4 percent spending increase on Town Meeting Day that will, among other things, fund moving the department's headquarters from its current location on South Street.
MIDDLEBURY — For most Vermonters, the Adirondack Mountains represent some of Mother Nature's sweetest and most impressive eye candy — an omnipresent, majestic vista often enjoyed from a distance.
Weybridge neighbors Michele Bayliss and Dean Ouellette can look at the Adirondacks with admiration and at the same time utter the words, "been there, done that."
Last week the Gallup Poll released a study claiming that Vermont was the "least religious" state in the nation. Gallup ranked all the states on a religion index, based on the answers to two yes-or-no questions included with the firm's regular presidential election tracking polls in 2012. The first question was "Is religion an important part of your daily life?" The second question was "Do you attend religious services every week or almost every week?"

Spinach and Cheese Enchiladas
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 20 mins
From the accolades I got, I really should have spent hours in the kitchen, but this little recipe was embarrassingly easy. Use thawed frozen spinach in lieu of the fresh to save money and time and use whatever jarred salsa you happen to have. I used store brand roasted chipotle to great effect.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic cloves
- 1 (11 ounce) bag baby spinach leaves, fresh
- 4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 ounces monterey jack cheese, shredded
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 16 ounces salsa (about 2 cups)
- salt and pepper
- 10 flour tortillas
- Preheat oven to 375°. Spray an 11 x 13 covered casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- Heat oil in a wide, deep skillet and sauté the garlic until golden, about 1 minute. Add spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until nicely wilted. Turn off heat.
- Transfer cooked spinach to a colander and allow to drain, or, once slightly cooled, to a salad spinner. Discard liquid and return spinach to pan.
- Add cheeses, stirring well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Using a spoon or your hands, shape about 1/4 - 1/2 cups of filling into the shape of a sausage and lay it across the midline of a tortilla. Roll the tortilla closed and place it seam side down into the casserole dish. Repeat with remaining filling and tortillas. May be made in advance and refrigerated, covered, until serving time.
- Pour salsa over, and bake, covered, for 15 - 20 minutes (allow more if refrigerated) until hot through. Serve with a crisp salad and a cold beer.

My 15-year-old daughter made this for dinner this evening. She had no problems preparing it. We all thought it was very tasty but felt there was a little room for improvement. I think it would be better with twice as much spinach. We also thought enchilada sauce would be an improvement over salsa. She served it with Basic Black Beans.
I loved that this recipe is SO easy to put together. I used frozen spinach and light ricotta. If you want more flavor, you might want to add some Mexican seasoning to the cheese mixture, but it is great as is. I ran a little low on salsa, so used about 1 cup, which worked fine. I did have to heat it longer than 20 minutes as the center enchiladas were still cool. This will be a go-to recipe when I need a meal fast. I think adding shredded, cooked chicken or leftover beef would be good too.
These were super easy and a really filling, satisfying meal. Next time I'll throw some rice in there as well!

The new Skoda Octavia is based on the same platform as the new SEAT Leon and VW Golf but while they each have their bespoke selling points - flair and luxury, respectively - the Octavia majors on space. There's more to it than that, though, as we found out during a prototype drive ahead of the car's launch in March 2013.
These early models wear a slight disguise but official pictures, released by Skoda, reveal a design that's sharp but sensible. Narrow headlights, creased bodywork and Rapid-inspired lines form part of a design that you'll see on all upcoming Skoda models.
But back to the Octavia's big selling point. No other car in this segment offers more rear legroom, headroom or boot space. The boot in particular is impressive: with the seats up it measures in at 590 litres (enough for four sets of golf clubs) and with the seats down there's 1580 litres of space.
The big increases are down to a big boost in the Octavia's dimensions. It's grown by 90mm in length, 45mm in width and the wheelbase has been stretched by 108mm. Being sat in the back seats now is a much more luxurious experience and the amount of space is comparable to big saloons like the Ford Mondeo.
Sitting in the front also feels a lot more upmarket, with a better level of quality and a little more flair in the dashboard design - it's a feeling of luxury that was missing in the old Octavia.
The driving experience is much improved, too. We tried the 2.0 TDI model with 148bhp, linked up to a seven-speed DSG gearbox. At idle and on the move this diesel is one of the smoothest and quietest we've tested, putting the efforts of much more premium models to shame.
It feels quick out on the road, with punchy in-gear acceleration and a 0-62mph time that's expected to be around the 8.5-second mark. Fuel economy with the DSG box will be just more than 60mpg, while with the six-speed manual it's nearer to 70mpg. A Greenline model, powered by a 108bhp 1.6 TDI engine should manage 83.1mpg and 89g/km.
Snowy roads and temperatures well in to the minus numbers don't make for the best conditions to test handling, but the usual Skoda feeling of solidity and surefootedness dominate the driving experience. The steering felt a little dead just off centre while on the motorway but that could be down to the fact that this car is still a prototype.
The ride was a slight concern, too, with ridges and small bumps making their way in to the cabin more than they would in a Golf or Focus. However, on flowing ups and downs the suspension performs far better.
It's still too early to pin down an exact price for the Octavia but Skoda is predicting it'll start from under £16,000. That's a fair bit more than the current car but customers will get more equipment as standard, like ESP, electric windows and a touchscreen media system.

Big Ten stories worth a read Wednesday
What a barnburner last night at the Breslin Center, as Michigan State had to work overtime to beat Ohio State after blowing a 17-point second-half lead. Give Adreian Payne major props. He didn't start as he dealt with a foot injury but fought through the pain and discomfort to notch 18 points and six rebounds in 32 minutes. Heroic. And how about that big 3-pointer he hit in the dying moments? So clutch.

Do you believe in miracles? Oprah travels to a remote corner of Brazil to meet John of God, a man known as the world's most famous faith healer and spiritual medium. She visits the Casa, the spiritual healing center in Abadiania, Brazil, where John of God claims to have performed unexplained miracles for more than 20 years. Plus, Oprah gets an up-close look at surgeries performed on the sick—seemingly without the use of anesthesia or sterilization.
Oprah also talks with a man who traveled all the way from Sweden to go under the knife for a shocking surgery. Then, she sits down with five Americans who've come to South America hoping that John of God, the "miracle man of Brazil," can rid them of their physical, emotional and spiritual ailments. The group includes a nurse, a doctor and a physicist—yet none of them can explain the unbelievable events they witness on this day.

Samsung Electronics Tuesday announced the introduction of 20 new
television models across its flagship Smart TV and LED TV series.
the launch of our 2013 Smart TV range, we are looking to consolidate
our leadership in the Panel TV market in India. We expect LED TVs to
drive our Panel TV growth, with Smart TVs contributing at least 20 per
cent of our Panel TV volumes this year," Samsung India Senior
Vice-President (Consumer Electronics) S K Kim told reporters Banglore.
to deliver the ultimate lean back experience to consumers, the F8000
and F7500 are the first Samsung televisions to feature a quad-core
processor, he said.
Both the F8000 and F7500 offer brighter, more
vibrant pictures with richer colors, deeper black levels and higher
contrasts, Kim said.
The ultra-thin design profile and Arc style stand in F8000 makes it appear to be floating in the air, he said.
The F8000 is also among Samsung's first line of Smart TVs equipped with Intelligent Viewing, Kim added.
F8000 and F7500 provide advanced smart interaction that responds to
people's motion and voice in a more intuitive way making it easier for
them to navigate and control the TV, he added.

Where I work, we've been using Subversion for years (apparently, I've not been here that long). There's some people here who'd prefer to use TFS, some who'd prefer to migrate to Mercurial and some who'd prefer to keep status quo. Other source controls (Git, others) won't fly because of poor Visual Studio integration.
The biggest issue/fear that a new source control would attenuate is fear of branching / merging.
I'd like to build a test that directly addresses which source control is better at merging two branches. Considering there probably isn't a "demo" version of TFS, it might be difficult. Still, it seems like an interesting problem.
To test this I'd need to know the following:
- What is a merge algorithm typically bad at?
- Can I find information on what merge algorithm a source control system uses (specifically TFS)?
- Can I come up with any advantages that one merge algo would have over another?
- What types of files do most VCS have trouble with?
More importantly, are any of you aware of someone who has already done this?

How can run a check to see if a user exists on a specific site?
I had thought about trying to see if the user had any posts on the site but it doesn't quite work.
<?php if count_user_posts( $post->post_author ) > 0 ) : ?>
show this member avatar (using buddypress)
I'm thinking it would probably be better to just see if the user exists at all on the specific site. Is there something to do with the user roles that I can do?

Ronald B. Kuppersmith, MD, FACS of The Texas Institute for Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery, today successfully performed his 20th robotic thyroid surgery at the College Station Medical Center in College Station, Texas. Crossing this significant threshold distinguishes him as the first surgeon in North America to be recognized by Intuitive Surgical (http://www.davincisurgery.com) for listing as a "Robotic Surgeon" in the area of thyroid surgery. He is believed at this time to have performed the highest volume of robotic thyroid procedures outside of the Republic of Korea. Because of his recognized expertise in thyroid surgery, patients have traveled from around the United States and internationally to consult with him and undergo surgery.
Robot-assisted or daVinci thyroid surgery allows Dr. Kuppersmith to remove the thyroid without any neck incisions, eliminating the traditional post-operative neck scars, while improved high definition three-dimensional visualization and more precise control of surgical instruments compared to standard or even "minimally invasive" techniques.
This innovative technique was pioneered in Korea by Woong Youn Chung, MD of Yonsei University College of Medicine and has demonstrated the potential to reduce the risk of damage to the laryngeal nerve and parathyroid glands. Kuppersmith spent time in Korea studying the technique with Dr. Chung, and has been invited to speak about the technique at multiple national and international medical conferences. He also has been involved in the development of training protocols for the technique.
Dr. Kuppersmith is president of the The American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) and practices full-time in College Station, TX.

This question already has an answer here:
- Disable auto run .exe file? 1 answer
I have Acer Aspire One A521 with brand new SSD disk, on which I've just installed brand new Windows 7 HE 64. After installing system I installed all drivers, including Conexant audio driver. Starting from that moment, after each system restart I see Windows prompt asking me, if I really want to run application
C:\Program Files\CONEXANT\cAudioFilterAgent\cAudioFilterAgent64.exe.
Situation like that is quite normal to me, and I always use some "startup scanner" to find such software and purge system out of it. I have very, very old
Startup Control Panel 2.8 by Mike Lin. It can have even ten years, but it has never disappointed me, so I continue using it. It scans
Startup folders for current user and common one,
HKLM Run,
HKCU Run and
Run Once sections of Windows Registry. For past ten years I thought that these are all locations where application, that is being autorun during system startup can coexist. Turns out, I was wrong.
Since this is brand new Windows, just installed, its autorun locations are empty. The only entry I do have is ATI graphic card driver manager startup string in
HKLM Run. I have checked that fact ten times (but only with above mentioned program and manually) and I'm 100% sure, that in none of known to me autorun locations there are no traces of Conexant program startup string.
What do I miss? Does Windows 7 introduces some new startup location or a new method of autorunning programs, that is beyond, what I know and what
Startup Control Panel scans?
Solving this problem is a snap for me. I can use brute-force method of removing manually that file or renaming it or I can uninstall Conexant audio driver at all (for the very, very limited use of audio in my laptop, that I have, Windows driver will for sure be enough, I've installed Conexant one "just in case"). But I'm really, really curious, how Windows is possible to run this program each time I restart it? Where autorun string for it can exists?

Last year, when Sirius and XM first discussed their brave new merged programming, the companies said users would have to get new hardware to access it. Now that the FCC has approved the merger, though, there's new information — consumers will get their beloved satellite signals just fine with no changes needed at all.
Rick Lee of GM's OnStar division confirmed that all 8.5 million GM vehicles with XM Satellite Radio will continue to receive their signal as they always have. The same is true of Sirius Satellite Radio-equipped vehicles, as well as all aftermarket systems.
That means pricing for current subscribers to either system will stay the same, and they'll continue to get the same channels they do now. What will change is that both groups of subscribers will be able to upgrade to new packages that include premium channels from the other service, added to their existing channels. So XM users will get Howard Stern and Sirius users will get Oprah — which sounds like a fair trade — for a higher package fee. Otherwise, rates will remain unchanged for current content. The "Best of Both Worlds" packages will be available in about three months.
Now, not all is rosy in this new deal.
While there will be more packages to choose from for both groups of current subscribers, which we detail below, the much-touted a la carte options of either 50 or 150 channels will not work with existing hardware from either company. The FCC has mandated that aftermarket units able to utilize this new system must be on the market in nine months. In short, getting to pick your favorite 10 Sirius stations and 40 XM stations, or vice versa, won't be a reality for many anytime soon.
Lee said new hardware that's compatible with the a la carte system would most likely make it into GM products for the 2011 model year, because most 2010s have already been planned. We'd expect a similar time frame for other manufacturers as well.

hasunow replied to SMantzas's topic in HellPretty even mix of fans. I live in Monmouth county.
hasunow replied to Marshall's topic in HellI've heard of all of these but that one. Couldn't find anything online about it. What's that one about? Inquiring minds want to know.
hasunow replied to ghdi's topic in HellThis is the FIRST thing that came to my mind when I saw the announcement. In case you don't get the context or didn't watch The Office, at one point in the show they decided to have "co-managers" and let's just say it didn't work out.
hasunow replied to Devils Pride 26's topic in HellShe was fantastic! Get set of lungs she's got there. Could really (and beautifully) belt it out.
But that's not 4 rows from the ice. Not that I'm not uber grateful to win 2 free tickets. Going to a game is pricey so I'm just happy to get free tickets and enjoy seeing the Devils.
That would be awesome to be that close but isn't sec 105 in the upper balcony behind the net?
I just won Hugh Weber's president tickets to tonights game. Anyone know where the seats usually are?
hasunow posted a topic in HellSorry if this has been posted elsewhere. Just curious what everyone's thoughts are on the subject. I'll use a specific example: Brunner v Ryder I like both players and what they bring (when they are playing well that is) but why does Brunner get scratched and Ryder doesn't? I mean I'm not coaching and I don't see/know all the intangibles each player brings. But when Ryder goes 20+ without scoring he's called "streaky" and that's it but when Brunner goes 10 or less without scoring, he's scratched. They were both brought in to score so I sort of get it. Now Ryder isn't exactly a defensive monolith (nor is Brunner by any means) but I think I'd prefer a speedy non scoring Brunner over a sluggish non scoring Ryder (is it me or does Ryder look lost sometimes?). Again, by no means is this a knock against either player, just more of a conversation starter. Is it just a case of PD favoring vets more then anything else because I know he certainly does that and had a rep of mishandling the younger guys. Is Brunner that bad on D? Am I missing something? Thoughts?
hasunow replied to dmann422's topic in HellOh man. I can't remember the last time I genuinely laughed so hard at something I read online. Good stuff. Phew, now I need to catch my breath from laughing so hard.
hasunow replied to Colorado Rockies 1976's topic in HellWhile still in shock and will miss his style of play immensely and what he brought to this team, I share almost the identical thoughts and feelings as you. Well put!
hasunow replied to SMantzas's topic in HellThere should be more rational people like you on the internet. I dig your style. I could not agree more. It's really fun to get excited about any deals, especially when it effects the Devils. All we can do is sit back, (try to) relax and enjoy the show because that is all this is. A big fun show!

Houma man faces turkey charge
Published: Wednesday, April 17, 2013 at 11:40 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 17, 2013 at 11:40 a.m.
A Houma resident was cited over the weekend for illegal turkey hunting, according to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.
Stephen K. Breaux, 37, was cited in East Feliciana Parish on Saturday for hunting turkey over a baited area with an electronic device and failing to comply with turkey-tagging regulations. Agents seized the electronic call.
State law says it's illegal to hunt or take turkeys by the aid of baiting on or over a baited area. Hunters are not allowed to place, expose, deposit or scatter corn, wheat or other grain, salt or other feed to lure turkeys to their hunting area. Also, turkey hunters are required to possess basic-hunting and big-game licenses, a Louisiana wild-turkey permit and turkey tags.
Possession of an illegally taken turkey carries a $400 to $950 fine and up to 120 days in jail. Hunting turkeys over a baited area, taking over the legal limit, possession of a rifle during turkey season, obtaining a license by fraud and hunting with an electronic device each brings a $250 to $500 fine and up to 90 days in jail.

I live in Australia and have long been fascinated by the American Civil War.
I have collected Civil War memorabilia for over 40 years.
In 1979, I purchased some memorabilia from the 117th. New York Infantry, which led to my interest in the regiment.
I have been obsessively collecting memorabilia, surfing the web and FAG for any mentions to add to my research files.
Thanks to many kind FAG volunteers, I have been able to request dozens of photographs to add to my Virtual Cemetery of members of the regiment.
I am currently adding names to the list. I have added over 1,300 so far.
I still have about 500 veterans to locate.
To be able to achieve all this half a world away from the action, is simply unbelievable.
If anyone has a relative who served in the 117th., or any information, I would be most happy to hear from you.

Bob - I see you have some requests in on other 117th members in the Central NY State area. I am close to the Holland Patent and Waterville Cemeteries. I'll give them a try in the next few weeks.
Best regards,

RE: James Halen - Civil War vet.
You are welcome Bob. I have a photo of his marker that I will post when I get a chance, but I did not find a military marker there. The survey of the cemetery taken in the 1970's did not show any military info either and they did note such if found. Good luck with your research. Gary.

Sorry I couldn't enlarge the photo. It is actually a jpeg of the photo sent to me and becomes distorted when trying to enlarge it.

Thanks Bob. I was able to find that information and added memorial pages for them.

RE: Orson morse photo request.
Are you familiar with any of the other names on the stone? I was going to post the photo to the memorial pages of the others, but it doesn't appear that pages have been added for them. I'm not sure of their relationship to Orson. I will do some research, but thought that you might know.

RE: Moses Aaron Craft.
Thanks Bob,
I'm sorry to say that I don't have a picture of Moses Craft. I have just gotten into Ancestry.com in the last year, so I have just started my research. I guess I'll have to make a trip to Yonkers, NY where I was born to visit the many cemeteries where my ancestors are buried.

RE: Earl Howard Buchanan.
Hi Bob, I wish I did have a photo of John L. Buchanan to pass on to you - but I don't have any. I do have a photo request up for his grave, so hopefully someone will be able to fulfill that request.
Thank you for answering my question so quickly.
