By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 7:09 PM GMT on October 02, 2007
A low pressure system over the southeastern Gulf of Mexico (90L) has changed little today. The buoy 262 nm south of Panama City, FL had winds of 36 mph gusting to 45 mph this morning, but these winds have fallen some this afternoon. Satellite loops show some disorganized heavy thunderstorm activity that is not increasing in intensity. This system has the potential to become a subtropical depression by Wednesday, and a Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate the system Wednesday afternoon. This afternoon's model runs continue to point to a landfall Thursday or Friday in Louisiana or Texas. I don't see this storm becoming a hurricane, due to the large amount of dry air to overcome, plus the extended amount of time it will take to transition from a subtropical to a tropical storm. The GFDL model probably has the right idea, bringing 90L ashore in Texas Friday with top winds near 40-45 mph.
First half of October hurricane outlook
In the first half of October, Atlantic tropical cyclone activity remains high, and is in the final two weeks of its peak phase. Since the current active hurricane period began in 1995, the first half of October has given birth to an average of 1.9 named storms, 0.75 hurricanes, and 0.3 intense hurricanes. For October through December, these figures are 3.8 named storms, 1.7 hurricanes, and 0.75 intense hurricanes. These numbers are nearly double the long-term climatological averages for the past 100 years. The final seasonal forecast from the Phil Klotzbach/Dr. Bill Gray team at Colorado State University, issued today, calls for four named storms, two hurricanes, and one intense hurricane for the remainder of this year.
October storms form from tropical waves that come off the coast of Africa, and from the remains of old fronts that push off the coast of the U.S. As we can see from the track plot of all first half of October storms (Figure 1), there is a lot of activity during the period, but relatively few storms form out near the African coast. The water temperatures off the coast of Africa are starting to cool and be marginal for hurricane formation, and wind shear is starting to pick up in its normal fall cycle.
Figure 1. Tracks of all tropical storms and hurricanes since 1851 that formed October 1-15. There are very few storms forming off the coast of Africa during this period.
Sea Surface Temperatures
Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) have been about 0.5 °C above average over the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico the past few weeks (Figure 2). This is the primary formation area for October storms. Note also the tongue of colder than average SSTs extending out into the Pacific Ocean from the coast of South America. This is the signature of a moderate strength La Niña event.

Tropical Cyclone Heat Potential
It's not just the SSTs that are important for hurricanes, it's also the total amount of heat in the ocean to a depth of about 150 meters. Hurricanes stir up water from down deep due to their high winds, so a shallow layer of warm water isn't as beneficial to a hurricane as a deep one. The Tropical Cyclone Heat Potential (TCHP, Figure 3) is a measure of this total heat content. A high TCHP over 80 is very beneficial to rapid intensification. There are similar levels of heat energy available in the Western Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico this year compared to the devastating Hurricane Season of 2005. Recall that Wilma, the most intense hurricane on record, formed on October 15 of that year.

Wind shear
Wind shear is usually defined as the difference in wind between 200 mb (roughly 40,000 foot altitude) and 850 mb (roughly 5,000 foot altitude). In most circumstances, wind shear above 20 knots will act to inhibit tropical storm formation by tearing a storm apart. Wind shear 10 knots and lower is very conducive for tropical storm formation.
Despite the presence of a La Niña event the past month--which is supposed to bring lower than average wind shear to the tropical Atlantic--wind shear the past two weeks has been above average (Figure 4). The latest two-week wind shear forecast from the GFS model predicts near-average wind shear for the first half of October.
Figure 4. Wind shear departure from average for the 11 days ending September 29. Above average levels of wind shear were observed over the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. Wind shear is the difference in wind between 200 mb (roughly 40,000 foot altitude) and 850 mb (roughly 5,000 foot altitude) in meters per second (multiply by two to get the approximate wind shear in knots).
Steering currents
The steering current pattern for the last half of September has been dominated by a strong ridge of high pressure over the Eastern U.S. This ridge is expected to remain in place until at least October 12, and will reduce the tendency of storms to recurve out to sea. Long range forecasts from the GFS and ECMWF models foresee the ridge may break down beginning October 12, but it is too early to be confident of this.
I predict two named Atlantic storms will form in the first half of October. One of these storms will probably be 90L. Several models, including the GFS, have been hinting at formation of a tropical depression in the Bahamas, Western Caribbean, or Gulf of Mexico sometime in the next 4-7 days. The upper air environment is forecast to be favorable for intensification over the Gulf of Mexico next week, with low wind shear.

Jan and Russel cooked this for me :), nothing better then having the chef actually cook the meal. They served it up and I never thought I would eat it all, .......BUT I did. It was a great winter meal, but with a "light" feel to it, every mouthful held all the different flavours! loved it, highly recommend! (PS dont over-cook the risoni)

Dave-2912 replied to MrsT70's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubThe brochure is your friend for this one: http://www.ford.co.uk/Cars/Fiesta/BrochureAndPriceLists (See page 53) You would only have power-foldable mirrors on a zetec if it also had either the City Pack or Front and Rear Parking Pack.

Dave-2912 replied to gillyallan's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubMaybe it doesn't get cold enough in Yorkshire but up here in Scotland I've had doors frozen shut on my last 3 cars. Doesnt happen often enough to make me take preventative measures but during the colder days of winter it does happen. I've always got into the car though as either the passenger door or boot hatch has still opened... As for folding mirrors, I think you would struggle to put in a warranty claim for operating the folding mirrors when they are frozen solid. It would be like using wipers when they are frozen to the screen then complaining that the rubber being ripped off or the motor burning out was a design/manufacturing fault. OP should definitely turn off the auto-mirrors (and make sure the stalk isnt set to auto-wipers [if fitted]) if concerned about very cold temps and especially heavy snow.

Dave-2912 replied to stuartr26's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubNot to rubbish your achievement but I could get this kind of MPG every day on my 15 mile journey to work. It's the trip back home that spoils my average. The fact you say it was "on a run home" indicates that this wasn't a 'there-and-back' figure, so it's hard to know if it's impressive or not. For all we know this could be a 30mile downhill run.

Dave-2912 replied to Jordanch's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubI'm not sure if dealers widely advertise this but you should check if your employer is on the 'Ford Advantage authorised company list'. Loads of larger companies are on the list (NHS/ASDA/Debenhams/RBS/DHL/John Lewis/etc) and it gets you 2 years free servicing and 2 years extra breakdown cover. My employer (SELEX) is on the list and I know quite a few people who have benefited from it. Unfortunately I cant find a working link to the full company list but here's the other details: http://www.ford.co.uk/Hidden/FordAdvantage/Programme

Dave-2912 replied to Paramanic's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubWhen I bought last October DAB was an option, not standard. Don't know if it has changed since then.
Dave-2912 replied to Paramanic's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubAverage house price for a 3 bed house in Scotland is waaaaaay more than £80-100k... Take a look at this link: http://www.s1homes.com/house-price-report/property-size/house-price-report.html Average asking price of a 3 bedroom is £153k (and rising). I would echo what other people have said about saving the money to get the house first. Secure a mortgage before the interest rates start going up.
Dave-2912 started following Zetec S Or Titanium 1.0 Ecoboost 125?? (Mk7.5)
Dave-2912 replied to domo85's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubThere was talk a while ago about Ford releasing a mk7.5 equivalent to the mk7 Metal/S1600. This upped the power of the 1.6 from 120PS to 134PS, so a rise of 125PS to 140PS from the 1.0T would be believeable. The Metal/S1600 was fairly successful so it wouldn't be too surprizing if Ford decided to do something like this again. This is just conjecture though, I dont have facts to back up anything...
Dave-2912 replied to DunkPoole's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubI find the auto-lights pretty good although I wouldn't really care if they were on all the time. I leave for work at 6:15 each morning and when the sun is low in the sky there can be a lot of glare but also a lot of shadows cast by objects at the side of the road. Going between these light and dark areas can lead to quite awkward visibility so if having the lights on helps someone see me, I'm quite happy to have them on. I have to say that I think the auto-wipers are garbage though, so I just disabled them in favour of intermittent wipe. The ones I've had in previous cars have been far superior. I think the auto pack on the ZS is worth getting for the auto-dimming rear view mirror alone though.

Handling LAN failures
Updated: January 21, 2005

Handling LAN failures
If a Network Load Balancing cluster is split into multiple subnets that cannot communicate with each other, each part will reconverge as an individual cluster ready to handle all of the traffic for the cluster IP address. (This problem is distinct from a networking failure in which a single host goes offline. In that case, the host just leaves the cluster.)
If multiple subnets with clusters remain active (continue to handle incoming requests), a conflict arises when the networking failure is corrected and the cluster rejoins. In this case, some outstanding connections might have to be closed in order to establish a consistent state for the rejoined cluster. This situation occurs infrequently. It is far more probable that only one subnet will have access to the Internet, in which case no conflict arises because the other subnets do not provide service during the network outage.

Why don't you buy NUFC then you could do what you want to with the club, the team, the fans etc. You could appoint who you liked to help you run it. All it will cost you is £300 million or so. I didn't see any boycotts or the like when Sir Bobby Robson was fired and he was a far better manager than KK.I'm not a Newcastle Utd fan admittedly but I am concerned with the direction football is taking generally. This current situation does smack to me as the tail wagging the dog.

Virtual Private Network (VPN) Connections
Updated: January 21, 2005
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
Virtual private network (VPN) connections
A virtual private network (VPN) extends the capabilities of a private network to encompass links across shared or public networks such as the Internet. With a VPN, you can send data between two computers across a shared or public network in a manner that emulates a point-to-point link on a private network. Virtual private networking is the act of creating and using a virtual private network.
To emulate a point-to-point link, data is encapsulated, or wrapped, with a header that provides routing information, which allows the data to traverse the shared or public network to reach its endpoint. To emulate a private link, the data is encrypted for confidentiality. Packets that are intercepted on the shared or public network cannot be read without the encryption keys. The link in which the private data is encapsulated and encrypted is a VPN connection.
The following table describes the advantages of using VPN connections. For more information, click an advantage.
The Internet is used as a connection instead of a long-distance telephone number or 1-800 service. Because an Internet service provider (ISP) maintains communications hardware, such as modems and ISDN adapters, to access the Internet, your network requires less hardware to purchase and manage.
You can make a local call to the telephone company or ISP, which then connects you to a remote access server and your corporate network. The telephone company or ISP manages the modems and telephone lines required for dial-up access. Because the ISP supports complex configurations of communication hardware, a network administrator is free to centrally manage user accounts at the remote access server.
The connection over the Internet is encrypted and secure. Authentication and encryption are enforced by the VPN server. Sensitive data is hidden from unauthorized users, but it is accessible to users authorized through the connection.
You can remotely run any application that depends on the most common network protocols, including TCP/IP and IPX. The IPX/SPX protocol is not available on Windows XP 64-bit Edition (Itanium) and the 64-bit versions of the Windows Server 2003 family.
Because information sent over a VPN is encrypted, the addresses you specify are protected, and the Internet sees only the external IP address. For organizations with private addresses, this advantage is substantial, because no administrative costs are incurred from having to change IP addresses for remote access over the Internet.
You can create a VPN connection by dialing an ISP or by connecting directly to the Internet, as shown in the following examples.
Example 1
In the first example, the VPN user makes a call to an ISP. After a connection is established with the ISP, the ISP server then makes a call to the remote access server that establishes the Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) or Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) tunnel. These protocols are automatically installed on your computer. After the VPN connection is made, you can access the corporate network, as shown in the following illustration.
Example 2
In the second example, a user who is already connected to the Internet uses a VPN connection to connect to the VPN server. Examples of this type of user include a person whose computer is connected to a local area network, a cable modem user, or a subscriber of a service such as ADSL, where IP connectivity is established immediately after the user's computer is turned on. The VPN client makes a tunnel through the Internet and connects to the PPTP-enabled or L2TP-enabled VPN server. After the VPN connection is made, the user can access the corporate network, achieving the same functionality as the user in the preceding example.
For information about creating a VPN connection, see Make a virtual private network (VPN) connection. For information about the ways Active Directory can tighten security measures for VPNs, see VPN administration.
Connecting directly to the Internet means direct IP access without going through an ISP. (For example, some hotels allow you to use an Ethernet cable to connect to the Internet.)

This review essay focuses on the prominence given to globalisation and discourses of globalisation in education reforms and pedagogy, as well as the way conceptual thinking in this area has changed and developed, due to competing ideologies, forces of globalisation and political, economic and cultural transformations. It analyses and evaluates the shifts in methodological approaches to globalisation and its effects on education policy and pedagogy. It focuses on forces of globalisation, ideology, social inequality and implications for equity and access to quality education.

Author has written 22 stories for Naruto, Sengoku Basara/戦国BASARA, and Pokémon.
Oh wow.
Been a while since I was on here.
I think I'll pick up Sil vous plait, since you know what I really like that ship and I had a really good idea for it but I have to go back and rethink everything now LOL and probably rewrite the first few chapters I have.
If you guys don't mind, of course, so I will probably be updating things.
And updating that eventually. And I'll write other stuff here eventually too ha ha.
I need to do a basic plot outline for Sil vous plait though, yep. So much plotting to do, also need to go and either replay B/W for the story or something but I remember the basic stuff mm. Also need to remember why Cilan is so scared of Purrloins ._. I'll get on that. Really will.
I've also since moved back to Canada :'D
One day I will update this and it will be a lot better hahaha... ha... still hoping to continue Sil vous plait though :'D

Turkey is the cornerstone of Thanksgiving dinner — but not everyone will be gobbling it up at the table this year.
Such is true for stars like Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain and Ben Stiller, each of whom are well-known vegetarians in Hollywood.
Who else will be trading in turkey for tofurkey…

Man Stunned to Be Punished for Attempting Illegal Jump Off Empire State Building
'He expressed surprise and disappointment at the verdict.'
Remember when your mom shouted you down from the 30-foot diving board when you were 6, and you thought she was being a drama queen because you were wearing those blow-up doughnuts on your arms? Such was the "surprise and disappointment" registered by stuntman Jeb Corliss when he was convicted yesterday of reckless endangerment for trying to parachute off the top of the Empire State Building's 86th-floor deck in 2006: "Mr. Corliss testified in State Supreme Court in Manhattan about his expertise and the safety measures he had taken to prepare for the jump." In other words, security guys who stopped him, you are so lame. [NYT]

The Canon Pixma MX320 is a multifunction printer, scanner, copier fax that comes with a rare bonus: honest print-speed figures.
Honesty in the printers market has always been something of a relative term. While many figures are plastered across advertising leaflets and specifications list, many of them have little relevance to realworld performance.
And few areas have attracted more criticism then the highly subjective numbers posing as true estimates of how many pages a printer can churn out per minute. With the manufacturers' stated figures frequently two or even three times faster then the actual results, it's unsurprising that consumers are both irritated and confused.
And so we applaud the new ISO IEC 24734 initiative, an industry measurement standard that purports to offer a consistent means of testing and comparing print speeds, regardless of manufacturer.
The Canon Pixma MX320 is the first printing device (it's actually an MFP, also offering scanning, copying and fax facilities) we've seen that comes with the ISO IEC 24734 figures.
How accurate is it? Well, in something of a first for a printer or MFP, our real-world text figure was actually slightly faster than the Canon Pixma MX320's stated figure - 8ppm rather than 7.5ppm.
The graphics speed was slightly slower, but the difference was only small - 3.8ppm rather than 4.5ppm. We hope more manufacturers start using the ISO IEC 24734 figures - until it becomes an industry-wide standard, those companies using it are likely to suffer from the glaring reality exposed by the lower, but more accurate, figures.
As it turns out, the new measurement is far and away the most radical thing we can note on the Canon Pixma MX320 - an MFP that performs adequately, but without obvious distinction.
This 'good in parts' approach is demonstrated perfectly by the Canon Pixma MX320's looks - its polished casing is attractive, but the bulbous styling detracts from the overall effect. The two-line LCD is competent, but the control panel seems somewhat old-fashioned. In fairness, we have noted this with many an MFP that offers functional fax facilities - the need to have a full number pad tends to make it difficult to offer the same minimalist chic as less well-specified devices.
The Canon Pixma MX320's menu system itself is full of detail (the cleaning features are particularly deep, even allowing you to target the roller or bottom plate), although the huge amount of repetition across the various options means that you're actually getting less then you'd think. Typical of the slightly confused approach is the Quick Setup page - it's a good idea, but a few less options on the screen would have been more in fitting with the 'Quick' concept.
NEXT PAGE: the Canon's feature set
The Canon Pixma MX320 is a multifunction printer, scanner, copier fax that comes with a rare bonus: honest print-speed figures.
There are some nice features on the Canon Pixma MX320. Scans can be directly transferred to a USB memory stick, and the 30-sheet auto document feeder increases the functionality of the scan and fax components. A Bluetooth adapter can be easily added for extra connectivity.
Unfortunately, the Canon Pixma MX320 doesn't totally succeed when it comes to its performance. Those figures that we stated earlier are quite slow, even if you're just comparing real-world performance rather than manufacturers' figures.
Text output is fuzzy at the lowest level. Standard mode text (at 6.2ppm) is darker, but still not well defined. For relatively clean output you'll need to allow for just 1.9ppm - and even here the results aren't stunning.
We were more impressed with the Canon Pixma MX320's graphics output. The palette is a little too bright for our tastes, but prints still offer plenty of detail. And even the fastest 3.8ppm mode is quite palatable, with the 1.7ppm standard mode proving perfectly attractive.
The Canon Pixma MX320's scanning component is lacklustre. While it's more substantial than on many an MFP we've seen, the results still aren't great, with pale output all too common.

Where the Canon Pixma MX320 MFP really struggles is with running costs. Both mono and colour prints are rather steep in comparison with many an MFP in the sub-£100 market, a heavily populated category these days. With average speed, high running costs, and a number of features not quite achieving their potential, the MX320 struggles to justify itself when there are so many strong rivals around.

Relax, amigo, we've got the perfect refreshing gift. This galvanized bucket is built around our epically delicious margarita mixer that's made from all-natural ingredients. This, coupled with authentic tastes from south of the border, like spicy salsas and zesty tortilla chips, gives them everything they need for a fiesta that can't be beat.
Ingredients:· "Cerveza" Platter 10" - No need to sort through all the serving dishes - the perfect one's already out and ready to display their drinks' accompaniments.· Margarita Cocktail Mixer by Powell & Mahoney - 750 ml - A tantalizing blend of all-natural orange oil, lime juice, and cane sugar that makes any margarita superb - so they don't have to be a mixologist to enjoy their drink.· Sweet & Salty Lime Margarita Salt by Margaritaville - 4 oz. - A mixture of pure cane sugar, Pacific sea salt, and all-natural juices that quickly completes their drink.· Organic Dude Ranch Multigrain Chips by Late July - 5.5 oz. - The perfect accompaniment to a night of zesty margaritas? These chips of course. They're tantalizingly tangy and coated with expertly blended herbs and spices.· Guacamole Mix by Fontera Foods - 8 oz. - Guacamole is to margaritas what peanuts are to beer, which is to say you can't really enjoy one without the other. This mix of tomatillos, sweet roasted garlic, cilantro, and green chilies just needs a few fresh avocados and it's ready to go.· Partners Blue Star Farms Crackers - 5 oz. - Even though it's their actual shape, there's nothing square about these crackers. Made entirely of organic ingredients and baked to crunchy perfection, these delightful crisps are anything but boring.· Northwood Cheese Hot Pepper Round - 4 oz. - A round of rich, smooth cheese that's crafted in Wisconsin tradition but gets a jolt of heat from fresh jalapeño peppers.· Smoked Sausage by Northwoods - 7 oz. - A lean summer sausage that's expertly crafted with premium meats, imported seasonings, and exotic spices that are mixed together by hand and smoked over natural hickory.· Chichester Snack Mix by Merrimack Valley Snack Company - 2 oz. - A tasty medley of cheddar fish, premium nuts, crisp cheddar sesame sticks, and crunchy pretzel nuggets.· Chipotle Salsa by Gringo Jack's - 16 oz. - A traditional blend of fresh, smoked jalapenos, roasted tomatillos, and grilled tomatoes that combine to create this authentic, mild sauce.· Salsa Con Queso Dip by Frontera Foods - 16 oz. - Divine, gourmet cheesy goodness that gets a kick thanks to chipotle chilies.

This paper discusses the synthesis and simulation of RF circuits using integral passive components embedded in a packaged substrate. For any one- or two-port structure, a function approximating its response is first obtained in a rational function representation using simulated or measured data. The equivalent lumped circuit is then synthesized from the rational function. The results show that the equivalent circuits can be used to reveal the parasitic effects associated with the physical layout of the structure and simulate the response of the structure. Using both the rational functions and synthesized equivalent circuits, an RF filter has been simulated to show the accuracy

One Superman, Two Supermen, Red Superman, Blue Superman (from the 90s)
Cynthia "Thea" Rodgers drew this one. Her website is here. She's a mean one, Amanda Rodgers, she really is a heel. She's as cuddly as a cactus as charming as an eel, Amanda Rodgers! However, she can also color the bejesus out of a piece, like she did here. Check out her website here).
Ecovore suggested:
The Tooth Book with Venom
Marco D'Alfonso drew this one. Here is his website.

Sean McFarland is the artist for this one. Here is his website.
therealAstrozac suggested:
Hellboy and the BPRD investigate the Grinch
Axel Medellin drew this one. His website is here.
Axel wanted me to let everyone know that he'll be at San Diego Comic Con next week from Wednesday through Sunday at the Comicraft/Elephantmen Booth 2106 (not all the time, but often enough). So if you want to stop by, say hello, get a sketch, whatever – you should stop by! If you're at SDCC, you really ought to visit Axel and show him some love for all of his great pieces here over the years (plus, of course, his nifty work on Elephantman)!
Awesome work, everyone!
Now you folks go make suggestions for next week!
All are excellent this week, though I hope Hellboy's solution doesn't scar Cindy Lou Who for life……
I love the weathered book look of Thea & Amanda's work, then they've always been my favorite of the participants (until recently the WOW/Avengers "Leeroy Jenkins Hulk" pic was my laptop wallpaper).
As cute as Thing 1 and Thing 2 are, I'm surprised they didn't go for having Thing 2 as female Thing of decades past, going instead two Bens.
Oh, frabjuous and splendiferous work all!
That Lorax looks so freaking cool!
Basara – Not sure why I specified 2 Ben Grimms as opposed to Ben and… um… She-Thing (Sharon?), possibly it was that Ben has had a few different looks through the years which could give an artist some variety to choose from.
I think I also suggested Swamp Thing and Man-Thing as a possibility as well.
Chris Giarusso had a Blue Hulk in his hilarious 'Mini-Marvels' strips (oh the shenanigans those three would get into…)
Great work as usual
Love the "Nighthawks" homage esp since I've seen the original at the Art Institute in Chicago and have framed print. This would be cute framed too!
The Infinity Gaunlet… Christmas is definitely doomed.
I really love the "Nighthawks" one, too. I thought the same as Iron Maiden — it would make a great poster.
Somehow I like Dr. Seuss Nighthawks more than the original.
As always, fantastic work everyone. I especially love Xum Yukinori and Cynthia Rodgers' submissions.
There was also a blue Captain Universe Hulk.
A lot of really good Suess style art here. I think the reason so many people's favorite is Thea's this week (aside from the awesome "photograph of a book" effect) is that her style melds so well with Suess's. Those little Superguys damn near look like they could have been drawn by the man himself!
That "photograph of a book" effect is amazing! Thea, how did you do it?
All good ones again, but my favorites are Catwoman in the hat, Grinch and the infinity gems and Ben Grimm as Thing 1/Thing 2.
Great work! I love The Cat Woman in the hat!!!
is wrong that I really want to read that issue of The Brave and the Bold?
Yeah, I also want to "read" it. Very very much.
Paul, that looks inspired! Love the work this week. That is one scary looking lorax…
As to how my colorist daughter gets that cool book cover look… Must be a colorist trade secret because I just tell her 'do this' and she does it.
Having a mini me = awesome sauce.
[…] Note: Inspiration for the Seuss verse came after looking at The Line it is Drawn #148 – Dr. Seuss Comic Book Mash-Ups!. […]
Comics Should Be Good accepts review copies. Anything sent to us will (for better or for worse) end up reviewed on the blog. See where to send the review copies.

He or she will examine the ears with an otoscope an instrument with a lighted, cone-shaped end piece for looking in the ear canal at the eardrum. The doctor will look for redness and bulging of the eardrum and will check to see if it moves normally by blowing a puff of air through the otoscope. (Eardrums do not move if they are too stiff or if there is fluid behind them.) Your doctor may also do a hearing test called an audiogram to check for hearing problems or a test called a tympanogram that measures how the eardrum moves.

WILLIAMSON, W.Va. (April 3, 2013)—A suspect was in custody Wednesday after Mingo County, W. Va., Sheriff Eugene Crum was shot to death within a block of the county courthouse.
The suspect was also shot and was taken to a hospital, authorities said.
Authorities identified the man they're holding as Tennis Melvin Maynard, 37, and said he was being treated at Cabell Huntington Hospital in Huntington, W. Va.
Baylous did not disclose his condition, but said Maynard was shot by a sheriff's deputy after a short pursuit in that ended when Maynard crashed his car.
Crum was elected last year and has been cracking down on the drug trade, but it's unclear whether his death was related to the new Operation Zero Tolerance.
The shooting came just days after the shooting deaths in Texas of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, in which a white supremacist prison gang is suspected.
Less than two weeks ago, the head of Colorado's prison system was shot to death at his front door, evidently by a white supremacist ex-convict.

I recently set up a WP blog for my school's Human Resource and Management Association. The site was set up through godaddy at http://www.chicohrma.com. I was going set up the site again on the school's server to save on hosting fees. When I tried to install WP again using a free MySQL DB from freehostia.com, I get an error stating, "can't contact the database server at mysql4.freehostia.com"
I tried setting up a new database on my godaddy account since I knew that worked on the old server. However, I get the same error as before. I was hoping someone can tell me if this is a problem with my school's server or its something I'm doing wrong.
Thanks in advance,

The case about the girls wasn't that interesting, but what I really enjoyed is to see Stacy help Jane with the case even when at the moment they were angry at each other.
I didn't find reasonable that Jane got so upset at Stacy about her setting her up with an old boyfriend. It seems to be working until he opened his big mouth.
It was understandable that Grayson felt overwhelmed with Vanessa's parents. But I didn't like Vanessa's reaction in the end, she should've understood.
The new woman in Parker's life will get Kim into trouble and I feel sorry for her, despite her personality.moreless

Diesel Service Technology
The widespread use of the diesel engine as a power source provides ample opportunity for a great number of rewarding careers in the use, maintenance, and service of diesel-powered equipment. Good pay is available in these positions, and the ongoing technological changes make a career in the diesel industry personally rewarding and challenging. The ongoing advancement in diesel technology and electronic control systems has resulted in better engine performance, better fuel economy, lower exhaust emissions, greater durability, and an even longer engine life. The Diesel Service Technology program provides training on new technology, new control systems and their components, how they function, and how to diagnose and service them.

With the students' efforts, we help prepare them for entry-level placement in the automotive service industry and provide them the skills for lifelong learning.Automotive service technicians inspect, maintain or repair automobiles and light trucks with gasoline and diesel engines. The ability to diagnose the source of the problem quickly and accurately, one of the technician's most valuable skills, requires good reasoning ability and a thorough knowledge of automobiles. Automotive technology is rapidly increasing in sophistication, and most training authorities strongly recommend that persons seeking automotive technician jobs complete a formal training program after graduating from high school, continuing their education, or changing careers. Automotive Service will be among the occupations with the most job openings.

Released: Dec 01st, 2004
Running Time: 109
Director: Jewel DeNyle
Company: Puritan Video Productions
Cast: Shy Love, Dale DaBone, Sergio (I), Shawnee, Kris Slater, Eva Lux, Jewel DeNyle, Dominica Leoni, Tami Lynn, Anthony Hardwood
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Good mix of material - couples, girl/girl and anal.
Watching Shy Love get it up the ass is nothing short of entertaining. One minute she is frowning, looking all serious and mean, and then she loses control of this expression and lets an occasional big grin quickly emerge and fade. Shawnee's segment with Kris Slater is a simple scene with no anal, but her bouncing boobs would have taken center stage over anal anyway. The most intense part has Eva Lux getting drilled by a strap-on wielding and dildo-carrying Jewel De'Nyle.

GARY W. GREEN/Orlando Sentinel
GARY W. GREEN/Orlando Sentinel
MIAMI � George Zimmerman persuaded the police not to charge him for killing unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin, but the prosecutor has accused him of murder. Soon, armed with unparalleled legal advantages, Zimmerman will get to ask a judge to find the killing was justified, and if that doesn�t work, he�ll get to make the same case to a jury.
The wave of National Rifle Association-backed legislation that began seven years ago in Florida and continues to sweep the country has done more than establish citizens� right to �stand your ground,� as supporters call the laws. It�s added second, third and even fourth chances for people who have used lethal force to avoid prosecution and conviction using the same argument, extra opportunities to keep their freedom that defendants accused of other crimes don�t get.
Martin�s shooting has unleashed a nationwide debate about the validity of these laws, which exist in some form in most of the country and which prosecutors and police generally have opposed as confusing, prone to abuse by criminals and difficult to apply evenly. Others are concerned that the laws foster a vigilante, even trigger-happy mentality that might cause too many unnecessary deaths.
An Associated Press review of federal homicide data doesn�t seem to bear that out. Nationwide, the total number of justified homicides by citizens rose from 176 in 2000 to 325 in 2010. Totals for all homicides also rose slightly over the same period, but when adjusted for population growth, the rates actually dipped.
At least two-dozen states since 2005 have adopted laws similar to Florida�s, which broadly eliminated a person�s duty to retreat under threat of death or serious injury, as long as the person isn�t committing a crime and is in a place where he or she has a right to be. Other states have had similar statutes on the books for decades, and still others grant citizens equivalent protections through established court rulings.
While the states that have passed �stand-your-ground� laws continue to model them loosely after Florida�s � Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and New Hampshire put expanded laws on the books last year � Florida is unique.
One area that sets Florida apart is the next step Zimmerman faces: With the police and prosecutor having weighed in, a judge will decide whether to dismiss the second-degree murder charge based on �stand your ground.� If Zimmerman wins that stage, prosecutors can appeal.
But in another aspect peculiar to Florida, if the appeals court sides with Zimmerman, not only will he be forever immune from facing criminal charges for shooting the 17-year-old Martin � even if new evidence or witnesses surface � he could not even be sued for civil damages by Martin�s family for wrongfully causing his death.
�You get even more protection than any acquitted murderer,� said Tamara Lawson, a former prosecutor who now teaches at St. Thomas School of Law in Miami. �This law seems to give more protection than any other alleged criminal could dream about.�
If Zimmerman can�t convince the judge of his innocence, he still can use �stand your ground� to convince jurors.
Zimmerman, 28, is facing up to life in prison if convicted of second-degree murder for shooting Martin on Feb. 26. A neighborhood-watch volunteer in the central Florida town of Sanford, he said he fired his 9 mm handgun after Martin attacked and beat him. Martin�s family and supporters claim Zimmerman was the aggressor, targeting Martin for suspicion mainly because he was black. Zimmerman�s father is white and his mother is Hispanic.
His attorney, Mark O�Mara, said Zimmerman will plead not guilty and seek dismissal of the charge using �stand your ground.� Many legal experts think he�s got a good case, particularly if there are medical records backing up his claim that Martin broke his nose and slammed his head on a sidewalk. Other experts say, however, that the law will not protect Zimmerman if he was the aggressor.
The special prosecutor in the case, Angela Corey, said she fully expects a fierce battle over the self-defense claim.
�If �stand your ground� becomes an issue, we fight it if we believe it�s the right thing to do,� she said.
The U.S. Supreme Court has never weighed in on the constitutionality of such laws, and none has been struck down by a lower court.
Defendants have sought dismissal of charges based on �stand-your-ground� claims in all kinds of cases, and defense lawyers say its use is growing.
Last month, a Miami-Dade County judge ruled that Greyston Garcia was immune under the law even though he chased down a suspected car stereo thief and stabbed him to death, then went home and went to sleep. The judge ruled Garcia used justifiable force because the thief swung a bag of radios at him that could �lead to serious bodily injury or death.� Prosecutors are appealing.
In Tampa last year, investigators decided not to file charges against 62-year-old Alcisviados Polanco, who used an ice pick to fatally stab 20-year-old Wathson Adelson following a road rage confrontation. Authorities said there was no evidence to disprove Polanco�s claim of self-defense.
Two years ago in Miami, a pair of Florida Power & Light workers were accosted by a mobile home resident armed with a rifle. The resident, Ernesto Che Vino, struck one utility worker on the head and fired shots in the air as they fled to their vehicle. A judge ruled that Vino�s actions were justified because he was in fear for his life.
Numbers compiled by the FBI suggest many states saw modest or even sharp increases in the number of homicides by private citizens that were classified as justifiable after enacting a �stand your ground� law or amending existing self-defense laws.
The trends are most pronounced in larger states like Texas, which expanded its law in 2007. Between 2008 and 2010, Texas averaged 47.7 justifiable homicides per year for a total of 143 � up from an annual average of 33 and a total of 99 justifiable homicides between 2005 and 2007, according to the FBI data.
Still, justifiable homicides by citizens remained a tiny fraction of all homicides in Texas before and after the law was enacted � 2.2 percent between 2005 and 2007 and 3.3 percent between 2008 and 2010.
Arizona and Georgia also reported increases in justifiable homicides after enacting their respective laws in 2006. Arizona averaged 18 justifiable homicides per year between 2007 and 2010 for a total of 72 � up from a total of 38 and an annual average of 9.5 between 2003 and 2006. Georgia averaged 7.5 justifiable homicides per year between 1995 and 2006 and averaged 14.8 annually between 2007 and 2010.
The FBI data for some states didn�t significantly change after the new laws took effect. Louisiana, which enacted its law in 2006, averaged 12.3 justifiable homicides per year between 2007 and 2010. Between 2003 and 2006, it averaged 11.5.
The FBI numbers are based on voluntary reporting by law enforcement agencies and aren�t comprehensive, which means they can�t serve as ironclad evidence that expanding a person�s right to protect life, limb and property leads to increases � or decreases � in the numbers of homicides deemed justifiable.
Small sample sizes in many states make it difficult to determine if the new or amended laws have had a practical effect. The way law enforcement agencies report the data also could explain why some states report increased numbers of justifiable homicides. For instance, yearly comparisons could be skewed if larger agencies in a state changed their reporting systems or only recently started reporting the data to the FBI.
Florida�s justifiable homicides nearly tripled after the state enacted its law in 2005, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, from an annual average of 13.2 between 2001 and 2005 to an average of 36 between 2006 and 2010.
With prosecutors and police raising concerns about misuse and unintended consequences, the Martin case has spurred Republican Gov. Rick Scott to create a task force to examine whether �stand your ground� needs changes. Both the law�s original legislative sponsor in Florida and former Gov. Jeb Bush, who signed it into law, have said the law wasn�t intended to apply in cases such as the Martin shooting.
The Florida shooting has sparked a national campaign against such laws as well. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, along with several civil rights organizations, is leading an effort to repeal or reform laws similar to Florida�s, though it�s too soon to say if that movement will gain traction.
Associated Press writers Michael Kunzelman and Troy Thibodeaux in New Orleans, Mike Schneider in Orlando, Fla., Greg Bluestein in Atlanta, Eric Tucker in Washington and Michael Biesecker in Raleigh, N.C., contributed to this report.

In this paper, we consider the problem of curve reconstruction from a finite planar set of points. To solve this problem, we propose to use a family of neighborhood graphs included in the Gabriel graph. The neighborhood that we use is the beta-neighborhood, initially defined in the context of circle-based beta-skeletons, but applied to edges of the Voronoi diagram. This family of graphs includes the local crust. This formulation enables us to design effective algorithms to reconstruct curves, by using as a prior knowledge that the curves to be reconstructed are without intersections. We show, through several examples, that the proposed algorithms improve the results obtained with the local crust, when the set of points is of low density.

Waterford — As the final results rolled in from Old Lyme, Bozrah and Montville, Rep. Betsy Ritter, D-Waterford, pumped her fist in the air.
There were cheers and claps, then more cheers and more claps, as Ritter and members of her campaign realized she had won by a landslide in the primary against New London Democratic Town Committee Chairman Bill Satti.
"I want the totals. Give me the totals," Ritter piped as she crossed the room.
Unofficial results as of 10 p.m. showed Ritter with a 2-to-1 ratio in the voting in the eight-town 20th District. Unofficial preliminary numbers show she beat Satti 2,795 to 1,446.
Satti, 55, arrived at his Bank Street campaign headquarters just after the close of polls and huddled at a computer screen with his campaign manager, Michael Farina. At about 8:30, he stood and headed silently to the back of the room and made a call on his cellphone — to Ritter.
"The voters of the district have chosen a senator, Betsy Ritter, and they didn't leave any doubt about it," Satti said, returning to a throng of supporters. "Her campaign did a great job. They got the vote out.
"This is democracy at its finest."
Satti said he and Ritter, who is 63, had kept their campaigning "above board," and pledged to support the "Democratic team" in November.
In a speech following Satti's concession, Ritter thanked her family and members of her campaign for their support. She called her primary campaign a "long road."
"I think I've earned a reputation for working hard, doing that, and for advocacy," Ritter said as the atmosphere settled at her campaign headquarters located in Jordan Brook Plaza.
Ritter swept every 20th district town other than New London. The 20th district covers Bozrah, East Lyme, Montville, New London, Old Lyme, Old Saybrook, Salem and Waterford.
When Ritter won the Democratic endorsement at a convention in May, some Montville delegates at the convention, including Town Committee Chair and Town Council Chairman Joseph Jaskiewicz, leaned toward Satti.
Montville resident Angelo Callis, a volunteer with Ritter's campaign, said of the results, "I think the residents of Montville speak for themselves." Town voters chose Ritter over Satti by a ratio of 2 to 1.
Satti would have needed to do exceedingly well in New London to offset Ritter's strength in Waterford. Although the turnout of better than 20 percent of New London's Democrats outstripped previous primary turnouts, it wasn't nearly enough.
"If we got out the vote, we could have done it," state Rep. Ernest Hewett of New London said. "It just shows that the distance between saying you're going to vote and voting is 300 miles."
Ritter will run against Republican Paul Formica, the East Lyme first selectman, on Election Day in November.
She said earlier Tuesday that her strategy leading up to the primary was to go door to door in neighborhoods throughout the district. People are more honest about their views in one-on-one conversation than in a crowd, Ritter said.
She said she placed an emphasis on neighborhoods outside of the 38th district, which she has represented in the House of Representatives for the past 10 years. All towns in the 20th district except Waterford and part of Montville lie outside the 38th district.
"I went out virtually every day, knocking on as many doors as I could," Ritter said standing outside of one of Waterford's polling locations, the Oswegatchie School.
New London Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio praised Satti's efforts to unseat Ritter.
"It's been 40 years since New London's had its own state senator, and Bill did his best to reverse that," Finizio said. "He made us proud and will continue to lead our party to a win in November."
While acknowledging the outcome was "very disappointing," Satti said he accepted it, and congratulated and thanked those who worked on his campaign.

Modelling Spatial Sound Occlusion and Diffraction Effects Using the Digital Waveguide Mesh
Digital waveguide mesh structures can be used as an alternative to geometrical acoustics when modelling the spatial and reverberant properties of a space. Wave propagation effects such as diffraction and interference are an inherent feature in these models, enabling sound occlusion and diffraction to be simulated. This results in a more accurate room impulse response measurement, particularly at low frequencies where these effects are especially noticeable.
