BRAINTREE – A Braintree home caught fire Monday after smoldering trash burned through the home's porch, according to firefighters.
Deputy fire chief Dan McDonald said "careless disposal of smoky material" resulted ultimately in $5,000 to $10,000 worth of damage to the home at 1276 Liberty Street.
McDonald said the porch ignited the leaves piled beneath it, which caught the home on fire. In addition to smoke and fire damage to the house, McDonald said, parts of the home's exterior, a window and a stairway were destroyed.
McDonald said that a woman was home at the time of the fire and tried to extinguish it with a garden hose. Firefighters responded after the blaze was reported by passersby. No one was hurt.

Pecos senior Antonio Varela's last race as a high school cross country runner went according to plan — much like all the races he's run this year.
Varela crossed the finish line of the Class 1A-2A boys' state championship in 15:59, easily outkicking East Mountain's Eric Eridon for the individual title.
Varela helped Pecos take second place — behind Laguna Acoma — in the boys' team standings as part of a full morning of distance running at Rio Rancho High School's campus.
Robertson's soccer teams stayed close but couldn't get the offense they needed to survive the quarterfinal round of the state tournament.
The RHS girls lost 2-0 to district nemesis Taos on Thursday morning at the Albuquerque Public Schools Soccer Complex. Taos had beaten the Lady Cardinals twice during the regular season to take the district title.
Later Thursday, Robertson's boys lost 2-0 against Portales. The Rams had won by a single goal over the Cardinals back in September.
The Associated Press
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The defenses lived up to the billing in the latest Game of the Century. Neither No. 1 LSU nor No. 2 Alabama could reach the end zone Saturday night, not even with extra time.
The Tigers aren't complaining. They now have the inside track to the BCS title game.
Unable to generate a passing game and hampered by five turnovers, New Mexico Highlands stumbled to a 25-18 defeat Saturday at Western New Mexico, allowing the Mustangs 25 unanswered points in the second half to squander an 18-point cushion.
With one game left in the regular season (Saturday at home against Fort Lewis), Highlands fell to 4-6 overall and 2-6 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. WNMU evened its record at 5-5 and 4-4.
New Mexico Highlands volleyball is back in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament for the first time since 2005 .
Entering their final match of the regular season against CSU-Pueblo, the Cowgirls were a half game behind Colorado Mesa University. Mesa, which fell to Adams State College, needed a win to gain the final seed into the RMAC West Playoffs.
Highlands' win on Friday night against Western State brought NMHU and Mesa to even in the standings, but under a tie-breaker rule, Highlands earns the playoff berth.
• NMHU men vs. University of the Southwest, 7 p.m., Wilson Complex
• RMAC tournament: NMHU at Western New Mexico, 7 p.m., Silver City
No varsity sports events scheduled
• State tournament begins, TBA, Rio Rancho
While the New Mexico Highlands women's soccer team had a short run in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament — losing 3-1 to host Fort Lewis on Wednesday in the opening round — the Cowgirls did get richly rewarded for their play this season.
Julissa Rodriguez earned RMAC Player of the Year honors for the second consecutive season, the league announced this week, and she was one of three Cowgirls to be recognized on all-RMAC teams.
Throwing a lot of heavy weights around is nothing new to Ralph Archuleta.
The 29-year-old West Las Vegas grad has been lifting for years, often while hanging around gyms with the likes of uncle Tommy and older brothers Adam and Frankie — who made his name as a professional boxer.
Four years ago, he even ventured into competitive powerlifting, winning an event in Rio Rancho and earning a nationals qualifier. But he passed on the opportunity to go to the next level.
"Just work," he said of opting out. "Too busy."
In Saturday's Vegas Bowl, the Robertson Cardinals will be looking to beef up their resume in time for Sunday's state playoff seeding. The West Las Vegas Dons will be playing for pride, trying to end on an upbeat note.
No matter what, the annual East-West game always means something.
Kickoff is set for 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Cardinal Stadium. Because of parking issues at RHS, a shuttle service is being offered from other school sites to and from the stadium.

"Leslie Herman was exceptional! Her manner and treatment of my husband Tim, was professional, sensitive, thorough and compassionate. We were grateful for her service to Tim. We would recommend her. "
"Hearing testing was amazingly thorough. Lovely people — warm and friendly. "
"For me it came down to the three C's: Leslie is concerned, caring and compassionate. I went to her office to address a hearing problem. What I found was a practicioner who cares about the whole person. She recognized how much hearing aids clearly meant to me and my quality of life. She wasn't willing to accept the worn-out excuse I was use to getting, that a hearing loss often comes with aging and there's nothign that can be done about it. And neither was I. I had a unique problem, one that other professionals in the field were unwilling to put the time and effort into solving, but Leslie worked with me, finding solutins that fit my lifestyle and that I was comfortable with. Her determination to help me is so refreshing in thie one-size-fits-all world. The personal touch — the time she took with me — meant so much as I grappled with my hearing loss. Thanks to Leslie I can now enjoy shows, movies, talkign to my friends and I can keep working. Because Leslie listens, I can hear!"
"Their attitude is very good."
"They were great. I felt great. Everything was great. They took me in when I couldn't find anybody. Not like those other hearing aid places."

Bad news for Civilization fans who were hoping to play it on Wii. For the time being at least, development has been halted. Scott Lewis, a programmer at Firaxis spoke:
"Civilization Revolution was originally a 360/PS3 project and was in development for over a year before the Wii/DS platforms were added, largely because we saw the success of those platforms and a lot of people (including myself) were very excited about them. All of our assets were originally created with the 360/PS3 in mind. In order to bring the assets to the Wii, a great deal of work would have to go into making them look appropriate on the Nintendo system. If we had started the project with all four platforms in mind, it is far more likely that we would not have put the Wii version on hold".
"We're using every button on the 360/PS3 controllers and are working very hard to make the player's experience as accessible and usable as possible with those. The Wii version came along very late and we think that the audience would not be happy with a simple mapping of the 360/PS3 controls. I think the Wii would be perfect for a game like this, but we'd have to throw out all of our interface work (and some of our game design decisions) to make it feel like it truly fits on the platform".
"The simple truth is that we had too many projects going on and not enough people. When we were stretched for resources and time, of the platforms we were working on, the Wii version had the most question marks, so it got put on hold. If the 360/PS3/DS versions do well, obviously a Wii version will be more likely".
It's a shame, but it sounds like they're doing the right thing under the circumstances. A Wii version of Civilization would deserve more than clumsy tacked-on controls. Here's hoping the project gets resumed further down the line.

CUUUURSES, CURSES! I was REALLY looking forward to this. They better not cancel it.
Wiipaw said:
I REALLY don't think they would cancel this. I mean, one is coming out for ds.
MaxyDawg said:
They won't cancel, but the game WOULD suck if the controls were just tacked on. The game will actually be better this way.
The Hamburgler said:
Arg! He's saying that it's only halted, but the tone makes me feel it's been scrapped for good. This sucks.
Jskrdude said:
Well, I can live with the wait (though I probably will never actually buy this) if they add online capabilities.

Ehh never liked it. Now if they make command and conquer for the Wii then I'll be happy.
Sonic Phantom said:
Ok. I wasn't interested anyways.
Ganon said:
Thank god someone's putting effort in Wii ports. Even if it means putting it on hold. But that's only to make it better.
Chino said:
Why don't they just make a new remote for the Wii? Mario kart made the wheel. The problem is there is not enough buttons, so just base it on the pc game - Wii remote is the mouse, simple as.
Stefan said:
I genuinely hope they do make this for the Wii and soon! I love civilization.
Civ fan said:
Business sense should dictate they shelve the ps3 and xbox version and focus only on the Wii. Just on hardware sales alone it's a better target, I also don't think the xbox/ps3 market is all that interested in this sort of game, historically that's been the case. That also could be said of the Wii, but I would buy it.
Tischer said:
Damn! I really like it on my DS and would like it on my Wii as well.
saddy mcface said:
Sadness, the ds version is too, uhh cheap/old fashion like. One for the Wii would be amazing, can't they just change the programming language from ps3 to Wii, all you do is aim and press buttons. Seriously.

Pack your bags and throw on those kicks...that's what 25 kids were doing Saturday morning.
The kids received camp certificates and new Shaquille O'Neal "Dunkman" shoes from the "Run for a Reason" organization. They have also been sponsored to attend Bob Chipman's full day basketball camp at Washburn University this summer.
The 1st annual "Run for a Reason" charity held this past October is what made it possible. The proceeds from that event are sending the 25 boys and girls from the Abbott Community Center to the basketball camp in June.
"Run for a reason is" a tTopeka Community Charity formed by the Topeka Collegiate School to promote fitness and philanthropy.

''Get My Belt,'' a bondage movie from Kelly Madison Productions starring Chanel Preston, Brooklyn Lee, Chastity Lynn, Skin Diamond, and Ryan Madison.
Get My Belt is a series of four vignettes in which Ryan Madison (the "Curator of Evil") has his way with a handful of porns hottest women. The first three narratives playoff each other; the fourth is a duel of sex and power between a master and his slave.
The production crosses a few taboos. The first story, "Catholic Woman," frames the action around Chanel Prestons plea for strength while getting off on the carnal advances of her priest (Ryan Madison). Theres sex in the shower (Holy Water?), a crucifix hanging over the bedside as the stunningly gorgeous Chanel gets down and dirty, and a good dose of bondage with hot wax.
Repressed Catholic girls have populated porn for decades.
Think of a sweetie diving for apples at a Halloween party and part two, "Apple Bobber," comes into focus. Again, theres plenty of water and lots of spitting and heavy oral thrusting. Brooklyn Lee is in her element. One outstanding shot captures her head thrown back with an apple in her mouth. Pig on a platter, anyone? Slutiness is Brooklyns forte and Ryan Madison brings in out.
Unfortunately when the third episode arrives, the only thing new is the face. Chastity Lynn goes from the closet to the shower, getting edgy sex and a good soaking. As in the previous narratives, water is the motif and dialogue, other than the typical porn girl moaning, whimpering, and squealing around demands to do it harder, is vacant.
The adorable Chastity gets the same workout as her predecessors though there is less bondage. This segment ("Bad Teen") has an add-on feel, another girl and extra minutes inserted to fill-out the DVD.
If Get My Belt ended at this point, this writer, who fast-forwarded through some of part three, would consider it above average, but overly repetitive.
Ah, but like an archeologist who uncovers a rare treasure, part four, "Slave," is sensational! Its bondage and cinematography is the best of the shoots. For BDSMers, this narrative alone is worth purchasing the DVD.
The extraordinarily sultry Skin Diamond is shackled and led across the western landscape by her cowboy master (Ryan Madison). She nudges the viewers anticipations when she says, "To be honest, I kinda like the things he does to me, but that dont mean I wouldnt escape the first chance I get."
Suspending his slave from a tree, the master bullwhips her (the camera captures Skins delicious facial expressions) before strapping her to a wall in a cabin. And thats the action before the sex gets interesting!
Its master-slave at its finest with Skin Diamond the perfect submissive whose bondage skills, like Brooklyns and Chanels, have been polished at Kink.com.
The ending minimizes any racist overtones the scene suggests and leaves the impression that this ebony seductress is strong and crafty.
Get My Belt is intense, but not misogynistic. The girls are aroused by their submission and exude hot sex to complement it. Though the vignettes are heavily gonzo, theres lots of affection and kissing. Despite his tough guy role, Ryan Madison is tender and likeable.
Rating: Power ON - despite a part three that's a yawner.

Making Sure Employees Beat the Heat
For the many small businesses that operate outdoors, summertime poses a regular threat to their employees' health. But there are ways owners can minimize heat-related hazards – and the potential for legal woes.
Last year, there were 138 fatalities and 592 injuries in the U.S. resulting from extreme heat, up significantly from 45 fatalities and 204 injuries in 2009, according to the National Weather Service.
Meanwhile, a heat wave that blanketed the Upper Midwest and East Coast regions of the country last week is suspected of causing more than a dozen deaths around the country. Indexes rose above 120 in some areas, and record highs were reported in cities such as Baltimore, New York and Philadelphia.
Sizzling-hot temperatures can spell trouble for many small employers, from home-construction and painting companies to landscaping and logging businesses. Last summer, a Guier Fence Co. employee was found passed out in a customer's yard, according to Lea Bailes, chief executive officer of the Kansas City, Mo., fence business. "Luckily the homeowner found him […] and called 911," he says, adding that it wasn't the first time a staffer suffered from heat exhaustion.
Guier Fence, founded in 1979, is made up of five company-owned units and five franchises, all in the Midwest. Combined they have 85 employees, about half of whom spend the majority of their workday outdoors.
Mr. Bailes says he takes several steps to try and keep his employees safe from the heat. For example, he equips all company vehicles with air conditioning and a large cooler full of Gatorade. He encourages staffers to work early morning hours and take time off in the middle of the day until temperatures cool. And he has experienced employees work alongside temporary helpers or trainees so jobs can get finished faster, and because each person can keep an eye on the other in case of a problem.
Craig and Jodi Barnes, owners of a Lawn Doctor franchise in Granbury, Texas, also make strides to help their employees beat the heat. They outfit their three technicians' vehicles with five-gallon water jugs and check that the air-conditioning units are always functioning properly. Further, the couple frequently reminds their staff to watch out for signs of possible heat exhaustion, such as nausea, excessive sweating or no sweating at all. "We try to stay in constant communication with them throughout the day," Ms. Barnes adds.
To be sure, heat-related accidents can't always be avoided. "Sometimes (employees) just don't want to listen to you," says Mr. Bailes. And sometimes, even workers who do can fall ill anyway.
Still, business owners should consider putting any efforts they make to shield workers from danger in writing and have their employees sign off on it, says Jennifer Rubin, a partner and employment lawyer with Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo P.C., a New York law firm. This would include advising workers, for example, to wear light-colored clothing or drink plenty of fluids on hot summer days.
According to Ms. Rubin, such written testimony could protect a business from a lawsuit or government investigation suggesting it didn't provide a secure work environment, as is required by federal law. "You can demonstrate that you have policies to make the place safe for employees," she says.

Welcome to the Great Barrier Reef, Australia
View Larger Map
Dive in deep to explore the only natural structure that can be seen from space! Discover the over 2,800 coral reefs that make up the Great Barrier Reef. See the highly diverse group of species that inhabit this undersea wonderland rivaled only in its diversity by the species of the tropical rain forest. See the mightiness of the tiger shark and the humbleness of the coral that supports these creatures. Meet the undersea tyrant know as the sea urchin and take a swim with the clown fish to explore its home the sea anemone. See the sea snake swims through the water. Experience the barracuda and dugongs as we take a dive into the shallow waters of Australians northeastern coast.
Table of Contents
In this ecosystem the living organisms interact with the abiotic factors. There is no rain in this underwater world, but water is the source of oxygen in the ecosystem. The temperature in the area of the Great Barrier Reef is about 14 to 33 degrees Celsius. This is spread between two seasons because the reef is so close to the equator. Next, the sunlight goes through the clear waters of the biome giving the energy the producers need to make food for the rest of the food chain. All the biotic factors in this ecosystem are dependent on the abiotic factors. For example if the sunlight which allows them to produce food and energy for themselves didn't reach the producers they would die. Then all the organisms that depended on the producers as their source of energy would die along with all the organisms that depend on them for energy.

Biotic Factors
The Great Barrier Reef is like an underwater jungle. It's the home to thousands of species of fish. Such as, clown fish, eels, sea bass, sharks, and baracuda. The reason it is an underwater jungle is because of the coral everywhere. The coral itself forms the ecosystem known as the Great Barrier Reef. There are also, whales, kelp, and algea living in this variety filled ecosystem.

The Reef through a divers eyes!........................................................................How many fish can live in one area?
Food Web:
Food Pyramid:
Abiotic FactorsThere are many abiotic factors in this ecosystem. This consists of the sea floor, dead corals of the past, and rocks that the coral make their homes. This in effect creates the homes that the many fish live in the coral. Next, the producers need to perform photosynthesis to start the energy flow in the ecosystem. This is from the sun that beams through the clear blue water of this ecosystem. Oviously this ecosystem has water or the majority of the organisms in this biome wouldn't be able to survive.
Ecosystem Disruption
What would be the outcome be of an oil spill in the Great Barrier Reef?
What are the long term effects?
What are the short term effects?
How does the oil disrupt interactions within the ecosystem?
How is the oil cleaned/removed?
How can oil spills be prevented?
If an oil spill happened in close range of the Great Barrier Reef it would pose major problems for the ecosystem by disrupting the food chain and killing many organisms. Through our research we have discovered the long and short term effects of an oil spill, the ways to fix a spill, how they can be prevented, and how it disrupts the interactions within the ecosystem. An oil spill would prove to be not only being a problem for the ecosystem but also the Australian government. It would cost the government a lot of money to clean up and the clean up would take a long time. The spill would also kill many organisms by causing diseases such as cancer and make life harder for others by causing shortages of food and shelter.
|Oil in the Water
|Oil sits on top of Water
|How Thin the Hull is
Oil could enter The Great Barrier Reef's ecosystem in many ways such as through storm drains that collect a lot of oil waste from the streets and then pass it on to the world's oceans. Oil spills can also happen as a result of natural seepage from oil bearing areas. The most dangerous type of oil spill is one which dumps a large amount of oil all at once, this overloading the ability of the ocean to process oil into a less toxic form and can affect marine life very negatively. Oil spills can be prevented if oil tankers avoid heavily populated waters. Also, Oil tankers should have an extra layer added to its hull. This would help keep the oil in the tanker if the hull is damaged, and prevent leaking into the water. Next, the oil itself could be better protected in the hull, such as if the oil was in heavy metal tanks inside the hull.

For those of you wishing to forward on other POP accounts I've created a list of SMTP servers.

Some of you may have heard of this one. It worked great for me when I was a kid. I used to get Poison Ivy, Oak and or Sumac all the time and I had it bad to the point my legs would blister and weep. My grandfather recommended this. Take a sock and put about two or three cups of oatmeal in it. Run it under warm water and knead it a little. Once wet, squeeze out the excess water. Once the extra water is gone, you'll get this slimy white extract from the oatmeal. Rub this over your poison as you would calamine lotion. I would keep a small bowl of water close in case the sock and oatmeal became too dry. Let it dry over your rash. Reuse as the itch comes back.
It takes away the itch and dries out the poison in just a few days, and that was in my extreme cases. You may need a refill of oatmeal if all the slime (I think it's starch) is gone. But one good sock full usually lasted me for the few days I needed it. I hope this helps those who get the rashes. I don't get it that bad any more. I remembered this tip after finding a few dots of rash on my lower when ever I'm in those areas with Poison Ivy!

SEGA Vintage Collection: Alex Kidd & Co. and Monster World Coming to XBLA
Written Friday, March 23, 2012 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
Now this is a bit special. One of the formative gaming experiences of our lifetime, Alex Kidd in Miracle World is heading to the Xbox Live Arcade and he's bringing a couple of his SEGA friends along with him for the SEGA Vintage Collection: Alex Kidd & co. You may remember Alex Kidd being that funny game built-in to your SEGA Master System II back in the day.
Alex Kidd in Miracle World was hard as nails, as was Revenge of Shinobi, which was sorely absent from the SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis Collection, but will be in the SEGA Vintage Collection. Playing as Joe Musashi, you take on the denizens of the Neo Zeed with little more than a katana and some throwing darts. Remember the cheat for infinite shurikens!
Super Hang-On is also included in the three game collection, offering arcade motorbike racing. There's also a second SEGA Vintage Collection on the cards too, with Wonder Boy's Monster World trilogy. The Monster World collection unites Wonder Boy in Monster Land, Wonder Boy in Monster World and Monster World IV in one digital download for XBLA.
Each collection adds leaderboards, achievements, recordable and downloadable game sessions, challenging new trial modes and the Alex Kidd & co. collection will also support an option to turn on the original Japanese dialogue, as well as a 3D mode for Super Hang-On and in-game juke boxes. Check out the first screens from both collections below. Release dates and pricing for the SEGA Vintage Collections have yet to be confirmed.

Your site looks beautiful! Will definitely add to the Tiny Forge showcase :)
You have to append the code provided at the end of style.css or if you don't know how to do this, you can use one of these plugins where it is easy to add that styling code:
Improved Simpler CSS, Simple Custom CSS, My Custom CSS, Custom CSS Manager or PC Custom CSS. The links to those plugins are in this section of Tiny Forge manual:
Brilliant, thanks Wolfs bRain, that fixed it!

Ralph of Bristol
Ralph of Bristol (died 1232), was the bishop of Kildare.
Ralph was a native of Bristol, but settled in Dublin. He became a canon and treasurer of St. Patrick's, Dublin, and 'Magistri Galfridus de Bristollia et Radulphus de Bristollia' occur as witnesses to charters of Henry de Loundres.[1] Ralph was also a clerk of William de Payvo, bishop of Glendalough, from whom he received half the church of Salmonleap, with a pension of half a mark from Conephy (ib. p. 329). In 1223 he was consecrated bishop of Kildare, where he beautified and repaired the cathedral.
He died in 1232. Ralph wrote a life of St. Laurence O'Toole, archbishop of Dublin, which appears to be that preserved in Trinity College, Dublin, MS. 652 (792) ii. It is said to be identical with the life given by Laurentius Surius in his 'De Probatis Sanctorum Historiis' (1570–5).

Just wondering if I can run the same Ubuntu instance on two machines, without connecting from remote. I have 2 laptop with both the latest version, same programs but I cannot remotely access to share or server outside the local network, one laptop always with me and a desktop. I don't want to work from a remote session anyway, I'd like work on different machines like as if were only one.
If you mean "connecting from remote" as a remote desktop solution, then yes, that is not necessary. You do need to synchronize them somehow, and we have solutions for that. For instance, Ubuntu One can be used to synchronize files between computers. There is also something called OneConf that can be used to synchronize application settings, etc.

In columns, letters and blog comments, Newton residents have asked how allegations of plagiarism against Superintendent David Fleishman will affect students in the Newton Public Schools.
The TAB asked some teens how they were reacting — and their responses ranged from shock to understanding to indifference.
Outgoing Denebola editor Astha Agarwal had this to say:
"The real punishment isn�t so much having the $5,000 docked from his salary. The real punishment is people hearing about it."
Recent graduates and current students, do you agree with Astha? How do you think this controversy will affect the NPS?

Making Sense of Grand Canyon's Puzzles
By SANDRA BLAKESLEE
Published: June 6, 2000
This summer more than one million tourists will venture to the rim of the Grand Canyon and are likely to feel their jaws drop as they gaze upon the world famous spectacle: a vast wilderness of rocks, deep gorges and a mighty river lost below cliffs, buttes and pinnacles festooned in pastel shades of purple, orange, pink and green.
Inevitably, some of these visitors will turn to a park ranger and ask: ''How did the Grand Canyon get formed? Why did this happen here and nowhere else?''
The honest answer is that nobody knows. One hundred and thirty-one years after John Wesley Powell first mapped the Colorado River by riding its 161 rapids in heavy wooden boats, no one can prove how the canyon was formed.
But it is not for lack of trying. Geologists are puzzle freaks who love nothing more than collecting fragmentary clues -- clumps of gravel, fossilized shells and pollens, the dates that muddy sediments were deposited in dried-up lakes or whole mountain ranges were lifted -- and then trying desperately to figure out how the modern topography before their eyes was produced.
This week, more than 80 earth scientists will gather in Grand Canyon Village to compare notes and work toward a unified theory of how and when the Grand Canyon formed. The last time a similar group of experts met to discuss the evolution of the Colorado River was in August 1964, before modern theories of plate tectonics revolutionized geophysics with the notion that continents could drift, slam into one another and alter entire landscapes the size of the American Southwest. Not surprisingly, the favorite theories from the previous era are now on the table for serious revision.
''It's time to take a new look at the evidence,'' said Dr. Richard Young, a geologist at the State University of New York at Geneseo, who organized the conference and is an expert on gravel deposits in the canyon. In the times since the last meeting, geologists have dated more rock formations, identified new deposits and are working from a more sophisticated framework about the overall geological history of the Southwest, he said.
The meeting, which starts tomorrow and ends on Friday, is bringing together geologists, paleontologists and climate experts who do not get much chance to interact, Dr. Young said. After they talk and go home to think about what they have learned, pieces of the puzzle may perhaps fit together in new ways.
The problem is that many features in the Grand Canyon do not make any sense. The modern Colorado appears to be a young river that flows out of the Rockies and hits a huge plateau, called the Kaibab Upwarp, which is 50 million to 70 million years old. Instead of being shunted away from this barrier, the river runs right through it. Moreover, when sediments from the river are examined closely, it is clear that the western end of the canyon -- where it flattens out and begins its final run to the Gulf of California -- is many millions of years younger than the eastern part of the river.
To many experts, this difference means that the Grand Canyon could have been cobbled together from ancient river basins that were created during different geologic eras. But if so, when and how were those ancient rivers formed and where did they go?
In seeking answers, geologists are faced with a difficult problem. For critical periods of canyon formation, the geologic record is entirely missing. The rocks and fossils that researchers need in order to tell a coherent story have either washed away or been buried, presumably in places not yet discovered.
Nevertheless, experts have used the few clues they have to develop two main competing theories about the formation of the canyon. One maintains that the Colorado River is old and that it carved the Grand Canyon at least 70 million years ago. The other says that the river is young and carved the canyon within the last five million years.
The first explanation, advanced by Powell and other early geologists, holds that the river has a simple history. In the beginning of the Tertiary period, 70 million years ago, Arizona was flat and the river flowed in its present course, roughly east to west.
Then, during various periods of uplift apparently caused by collisions between gigantic slabs of the earth's crust, the Kaibab Upwarp began to rise at a rate that exactly matched the river's capacity to erode the landscape. According to this view, the canyon cutting took place gradually, with the river staying in place and the land around it rising upward.
This theory held sway for more than 50 years, Dr. Young said, but today it has few adherents because too many pieces of the puzzle do not fit. For example, as mentioned, a major part of the riverbed shows strong evidence of being younger than the Kaibab Upwarp.
One holdout for the old river explanation is Dr. Don Elston, a retired geologist with the United States Geological Survey in Flagstaff, Ariz., who has been working on canyon formation theories since the mid-1950's.
''I've attempted to solve the problem using stratigraphy and climate data from all over the Colorado Plateau,'' Dr. Elston said in an interview. ''Some people call it geofiction, but I think I'm right.''

Malcolm Waller fell one run short of a maiden half-century as Zimbabwe made 130 for eight against the West Indies in the first Twenty20 international on Saturday.
Waller and Craig Ervine put on 60 for the fourth wicket, a new Zimbabwean T20 record, after pace bowler Tino Best, who finished with three wickets, had made early inroads, removing the opening pair of Vusi Sibanda and Hamilton Masakadza.
Brendan Taylor, who once again called correctly at the toss and chose to bat, continued his poor run on the tour with the bat, falling without scoring to a catch at the wicket off Samuel Badree.
Sunil Narine again proved a challenge for the tourists with his spin variations, claiming two wickets for 17 runs while all-rounder Dwayne Bravo, who captained the West Indies to a 3-0 of the one-day international series in Grenada, took two wickets off the final over.
Waller provided the only consistent threat to the West Indies, hitting four fours and two sixes off 34 deliveries before he was bowled by Narine seeking to accelerate the innings over the final five overs.
Darren Sammy, back as captain of the home side after being rested for the one-dayers, conceded 34 runs off his four overs and utilised six other bowlers for the 20-over duration of the innings.

Jail sentence in Ohio: Nothing
Jail sentence in Iran: Fines and 80 lashes for first-time offenders; repeat offenders are put to death
Iran operates under Islamic penal law, which exercises a huge number of capital punishment cases that are second only to China. For instance, drug trafficking and sodomy are punishable by death, as well as selling alcohol and drinking it. Two years ago, a woman and a man were stoned to death for adultery, and while a moratorium has been put on the practice, many human-rights groups claim the practice persists. In fact, one report claims that at least nine people were sentenced to stoning in 2008.

The correct option is
During Visual Inspection of the transmission/transaxle, we have to check the driveline's transmission rear seal which is more prone to leakage.
So, Technician A is correct.
When we push up and down on the transmission the mounts require replacement if the case moves up but not down.
So, Technician B is wrong.

I just found it, so one else will have to explain it, never heard of it, but if your a UK and want a lego card with Grievous on it, then buy the book.
Click on this image for a closer look - it shows the back cover of the latest issue (#12) of the UK edition of The Clone Wars comic which has just been published. The back cover features an advert for the new Force Attax Trading Card game from Topps - it also states the the next issue of the comic (available on the 21st October) features a Limited Edition LEGO Force Attax card - this is the first time we've had any confirmation that the Force Attax cards will feature cross-over cards featuring LEGO Star Wars characters - interesting this development is!
Hope this hasn't been posted else where, if so sorry.

Obviously a hypothetical debate, but given the state of the world. . .
If given the chance to rid the world of violence (murder, terrorism, abuse, rape, assault, even bullying) but the one catch would be that you would be forced to be alone for the rest of your life (giving up all current relationships and being incapable of forming new ones), would you do it?
The world would be a safe place. Your family and friends would be safe from violent acts, but you would spend the rest of your days cut off from those very people your choice would protect.

IMF Considers Cutting Hungarian Economic-Growth Forecast
The International Monetary Fund is considering a cut in this year's economic-growth forecast for Hungary, said Iryna Ivaschenko, the lender's representative in Budapest.
The IMF on Jan. 25 estimated Hungary's economy may expand 0.3 percent in 2012, compared with the government's 0.5 percent projection.
"This 0.3 percent is our last official estimate, which has been made with slightly better eurozone outlook so it can revised down," Ivaschenko told investors today in Budapest. "We're revising these numbers probably as I speak."
Hungary is seeking to revive bailout talks with the IMF and the European Union to quell investor concern about its ability to service the highest debt level among the trading bloc's eastern members.
Hungary sought aid in November as the forint fell to a record low and the country's credit grade was cut to junk at Standard & Poor's, Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings.
The forint weakened 0.3 percent to 291.06 per euro at 2:52 p.m. today in Budapest. The currency rose 10 percent, the most in the world, since Jan. 5, when Prime Minister Viktor Orban pledged to compromise on government policies for a "quick" deal on a financial safety net.
'Tangible Steps'
Hungary, the first European Union country to obtain an IMF bailout in 2008, first needs "tangible steps" on government policies, including central-bank independence, to start talks on a loan, Ivaschenko said, repeating a statement IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde made on Jan. 13. Talks broke down in December over Orban's refusal to change the new central bank legislation.
Hungary is in the process of sorting through government policies the EU's executive said may violate community rules. These include the central bank law and the overhaul of the judiciary and the data protection ombudsman's office, all of which Orban has pledged to amend.
The collapse of Malev Zrt., Hungary's state-owned carrier, may carry fiscal risks for the government that's targeting a budget deficit of 2.5 percent of gross domestic product this year, Ivaschenko said.
An expected decline in revenue at Budapest Airport may in an "extreme case" force the government to compensate the operator in the amount of "several hundred billion forint," the Development Ministry said in an e-mail late yesterday. The government targets a deficit of 576 billion forint ($2.6 billion) this year.

Critical Read
WHAT: GAO report on progress toward interoperable VA and DoD health records
WHY: In February 2013, the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs scrubbed an ambitious $9 billion plan to create an integrated electronic health record system in favor of maintaining separate, interoperable systems. The revised plan called for the VA to modernize its homegrown EHR system (the Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture, or VistA), and for the Defense Department to replace its legacy EHR system with a commercial solution.
The departments have yet to put in place cost and schedule estimates for the revised plan, according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office. Additionally, an Interagency Program Office that was tasked with running the project is limited to coming up with joint data and integration standards, and lacks control over its budget and staffing. The GAO is seeking improvements in program management and clear lines of responsibility for implementing an interoperable health care record for the departments, which deliver care to a population of 16 million veterans and active-duty service members.
VERBATIM: "While the departments have begun planning for these separate systems, they have yet to develop plans describing what a future interoperable health record will consist of or how, when, and at what cost it will be achieved. Further, even though VA and DOD have determined that their electronic health record system needs overlap, the departments have neither removed long-standing barriers to working together to address their common needs nor positioned the Interagency Program Office for effective collaboration going forward."

"It has been a hell of a journey thus far and I feel I am still only a small part of the way through. I have much, much more to offer as an author and will publish again, no doubt.
"As a result of LSD ingestion in 1994, I awoke a beast in the grip of mental illness and, being untreated for approximately seven years, violence and irrationality became mainstream. Finally force-medicated in prison hospital, I slowly reconnected old neurological maps and formed new ones. All the while, I always felt I had something to offer creatively, eventually morphing into an author.
"My battle with homelessness finally ceased mid 2009, and again I found my feet relating to employment, being acknowledged as the most financially successful "Big Issue" vendor since its inception to Australia. I was given the go ahead by specialists to discontinue medication in November 2011, and now consider myself neuro typical."
Unlike many such memoirs, Psychotic Verses is one journey with a happy ending.

Guys & Girls:
Everyone at my school is very goal oriented and driven to succeed.
Guys & Girls:
Not awful, but definitely easier to meet people if you're straight.
Guys & Girls:
There are many relationships on campus.
Guys & Girls:
The typical student on campus is fairly attractive and has a good head on their shoulders that's why we are here. Everyone is trying to find themselves as the school year goes on. A lot of students have the issue of not knowing exactly what they want to pursue as a career path.
Guys & Girls:
Since it is a private school there are many students there that are extremely spoiled by their rich parents. But the good news is that there is an even mix of students that are paying their own way too.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Females are the majority at Canisius (not by a lot, but enough). This affects the dating scene a bit, since females vying for limited male attention are more inclined to "hook up" to get it, which leaves guys with little incentive to establish an actual relationship with someone.
However, Canisius students, as a whole, are usually more reserved than promiscuous (it's probably the Catholic-Jesuit thing). Almost everybody acts respectfully toward one another, and students are typically friendly, warm, and welcoming. It's easy to make friends with both sexes through common classes and interests.
