Adding logos, catchlines, designs, patterns or even colours to vehicles has been an established means of promoting your company for many years. The pink concrete mixers of decades ago still stick in many people's memories.
But what happens if someone else owns the vehicles in question. Can you still paint them pink, wrap them in plastic or put your logo all over them? And can you on-sell the space to third-party advertisers?
A spokesman for Fleet Plus, which claims to be the largest privately-owned fleet leasing and management company in Australia and New Zealand, says that in principle he can't see any reason why his company would object, although it would be on a case-by-case basis. In fact, in some cases his company would help find suppliers to do the work.
Lauren O'Rourke, financial administrator and fleet manager for PPG Industries and recently named 2011 fleet manager of the year by the Australasian Fleet Management Association, says that "Of the leasing companies we deal with, most allow us to have signage on the vehicles if we want to, providing that it is removed by the time the vehicle is returned to the leasing company and we have to pay to rectify any damage the advertising has caused."
However, while PPG has a fleet of about 360 vehicles, O'Rourke admits it doesn't have company signage on its vehicles.
But if you choose to, what sort of visual branding can you have on your vehicles, whether leased or owned outright?
Rob McKay, founder of Truckmania, says there are three types of branding. First, there is a company's own logo or contact details on the side or rear of a fleet vehicle, widely used by tradespeople. This could include special events and offers and promotions. The benefit of promoting your own company is that once production costs are covered, there are no media costs.
Second, as an incentive (and as part of the contract negotiation process), distribution companies might offer clients space on their vehicles. For instance, a trucking firm places a major supermarket or product line's logo on the curtains on the side of large trucks.
Some leasing companies may consider vehicle graphics as part of the original equipment cost, McKay says. "For example, with digitally printed curtains for semi-trailers, if the end user knows the branding they want early enough in the purchasing process, then the cost can be rolled into the lease. This will vary between leasing companies."
The third option is true third party advertising – a "boutique market" as McKay describes it.
He says his company pioneered third party advertising a decade ago by making it more available to typical purchasers of such advertising, being media agencies, but it wasn't specifically about whether fleets were leased or not.
"The fleets we used for the advertising were a mixture of leased fleet and vehicles not subject to leases. Interestingly, we didn't have a need to distinguish between the two as we always dealt with the end user. Additionally, because our installations were always reversible, there was no need for the leasing companies to be involved. In our experience, they were too far removed from the day to day operations to be concerned with such detail."
He adds that there have been only a small number of players in this reseller market – and a declining number for those selling advertising on car fleets. One such company offered low-priced consumer vehicles for rent, carrying advertising that had nothing to do with the rental company or hirer.
In the area of third-party advertising, Rowan Wyeth runs All Truck Advertising, which sells ad space on the sides of owner-operator trucks. He says he has 400 vehicles on his database and a typical campaign might involve 20-plus vehicles for one campaign, with trucks involved travelling up and down the eastern seaboard and in some other cities. He says this is a growing market but admits it is slow to take off. He suggests this is an obvious medium for advertising, with a captive market, especially as populations increase along with road congestion.
He also cites the benefits to truck owners, a group he suggests are "being screwed" financially.
Another approach is that used for advertising on the rear of taxis – advertisers and agencies negotiate direct with the owners.
Wyeth adds that he can't see why leasing companies would care what was put on their vehicles, as long as they came back in good condition.
To maintain vehicle integrity, O'Rourke says some companies are turning to large advertising magnets stuck to the sides of vehicles. "These can then be stuck on the side of the car and removed whenever you like, so you don't have to advertise 24/7."
A number of vehicles also have website and contact details on the rear windscreen via stickers. These are easily removable and won't damage the vehicle paint, she says.
McKay says self-adhesive vinyl artwork can be applied, and "if done properly it protects the vehicle's surface – it's as new when removed". He adds that these signs can last for 10 years. While it would be unlikely any fleet cars – let alone the message they carry – would last that long in corporate hands, trucks are a different matter.
"A truck, and in particular a trailer, will easily last that long, and often do. If you want to see some obsolete logos, look at old semi-trailers, and in particular, their curtains. They're still performing their function after all these years, but the logos or messages are long since outdated."

I have been searching for a plugin to do this. Or even a group of plugins to get this effect.
Page here: http://www.asparenting.com
I would like to have a featured post from the most recent posts. Currently I'm using Random Featured Post which takes a random post from a category. I have looked at several others that you have to manually input the posts and they output as lists.
I'm not great at coding or else I'd try to edit the plugin I'm currently using. The only other thought I had was to have a plugin to create a category of the last X amount of posts.

post_meta_cache was in 4.2.2 set in wp-blog-header.php, but it i can't find where its set in 1.5.1 (or even if it is still exposed for used).
i'm asking as i have a show_categoy_posts hack which requires modification to the way post_meta_cashe gets built (basically to include meta data for ALL posts, rather than just the ones what show up on the front page, don't ask!) and i need to be able to reconstruct this hack in 1.5.1 -- can anyone point me at where this array gets initialised in 1.5.1?
if its no longer exposed, then that would be useful to know too!

Commodities Rise, Dollar Drops After China Keeps Rates on Hold
Commodities rallied and the dollar weakened after China refrained from increasing interest rates. U.S. stocks erased gains, and Treasuries rose before tomorrow's Federal Reserve statement on the economy as 10-year note yields near a six-month high attracted investors.
The Standard & Poor's GSCI Index of commodities advanced 1.3 percent at 5 p.m. in New York as copper surged to a record high of $9,248 a metric ton in London. The euro rose 1.3 percent to $1.3391 as the dollar slumped against 15 of 16 major counterparts. The S&P 500 wiped out a 0.5 percent rally in the final 72 minutes of trading. Ten-year Treasuries rallied after yields increased to 3.39 percent.
While Chinese inflation accelerated to the fastest pace in more than two years, the central bank kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged. This helped boost optimism that the world's fastest growing major economy will keep fueling the global expansion and demand for raw materials.
"There's a sense of relief that there wasn't further tightening by officials in China," said Liam Dalton, president of Axiom Capital Management Inc. in New York, which oversees $1.4 billion.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average of 30 U.S. stocks rose 18.24 points, or 0.2 percent, to 11,428.56 as Caterpillar Inc. advanced 1.9 percent. The S&P 500 reached 1,246.73 before retreating. It approached 1,251.70, the measure's last closing level before Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.'s September 2008 bankruptcy sent the global economic into a tailspin. The S&P 500 plunged 46 percent between Sept. 12, 2008, and March 9, 2009, when it sank to 676.53.
France, China
The MSCI All-Country World Index of shares in 45 nations gained 0.7 percent today. Among developed nations, benchmark stock indexes for France, the U.K. and Japan posted the biggest gains with advances of at least 0.8 percent. In emerging markets, China's main equity gauge jumped 2.9 percent for the biggest increase in two months.
Sugar, orange juice, coffee and silver surged more than 3.3 percent in U.S. trading as the falling dollar helped drive the rally in commodities.
Precious metals will probably give investors the best returns among commodities in the next year, and livestock the worst, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said. Precious metals will advance 28 percent over 12 months and livestock 4 percent, London-based Jeffrey Currie, Allison Nathan and other Goldman analysts said in a report.
Orange-juice futures jumped to the highest since May 2007 after Florida, the world's second-biggest citrus grower, declared a state of emergency amid severe cold and the prospects of crop damage.
Treasury 10-year notes advanced, driving yields down by four basis points, or 0.04 percentage point, to 3.28 percent. They advanced as a federal judge ruled against the U.S. health-care overhaul, easing concern that the government will struggle to contain record deficits.

The video carousel (with vimeo links) takes a long time to load on my site. That wouldn't be such a big deal, except that it prevents the rest of the page elements from loading, including the main body text and the sidebar. When you hit the page, you only see the page header and a progress wheel for a few seconds.
I'd guess this is javascript dynamically loading the videos, but I can't figure out why it's halting the rest of the page from rendering. Thinking maybe I need to move pieces of the javascript to the very bottom of the page, but having trouble tracking it down.
The site is question: http://almoradiemedia.com/

Anyone know how I might be able to alter the

At the moment, it shows my events but also marks every blog post as an event too.
I'm not using it as a widget because I need more control over my sidebar with some other custom bits so if anyone can help tell me how I might be able to show only entries from category ID 3 (for example) using the php snippet above I'd be very grateful!

How to make mouse in Windows 7 act the same as Windows XP
I'm a big fan of XMouse functionality and have been using True X-Mouse Gizmo for ages. It has both the xmouse-functionality as well as not putting the active window on top. I can't live without these things.
I just installed Windows 7 on a computer. To my great surprise they have implemented the XMouse functionality (in something called ease of access center). But I'm still missing the option to let my active window stay underneath other windows.
Does this setting exist in Windows 7, or must I download something? What in such a case?

JP Morgan Chase's Life-And-Death Secret Waterproofing Plan
The plaza is still fenced off, but apparently just why is a state secret.
Francisca Benitez
The ongoing fight to reopen Chase Manhattan Plaza in the Financial District has taken a strange turn.
The nation's biggest bank has undertaken a (possibly imaginary) waterproofing repair project in the plaza. But this is no ordinary (possibly imaginary) waterproofing repair project; this one is so critical, so high-stakes, that the NYPD and the Buildings Department say details of the plan must be kept top secret, because people's lives are on the line.
First, a quick recap: For more than six months, ever since the day before Occupy Wall Street first kicked off, the plaza has been mysteriously surrounded by fencing, closing off the popular lunch spot, historic landmark, and home to significant public art.
It probably comes as no surprise that the bankers at JP Morgan Chase, which owns the plaza, might want to avoid having to wade through ranks of the foreclosed, jobless, and otherwise distasteful 99 percent. If building code allowed, they might dig a moat and raise some battlements to keep the mic-checking hordes at bay.

For months now, a team of open-space advocates has been arguing that even the basic metal fencing that they have put up goes against the rules of the Landmarks Preservation Commission and the Department of Buildings.
JP Morgan Chase won't comment officially on just why the fences are up, but their security guards will tell you if you ask that the empty plaza is walled off to keep away Occupy Wall Street.
Since the open-space advocates -- a coalition called #whOWNSpace, working with Richard Nagan, a sympathetic Buildings Department Expediter who moonlights playing shakers for George Clinton -- started asking questions, Chase has made a peculiarly half-hearted gesture towards undertaking work on the plaza, perhaps to justify the ongoing presence of the fences.
Working off a 2010 permit to repair waterproofing in the plaza, Chase has torn up a handful of flagstones, conscientiously marking off the scattered work areas with hazard cones and tape.
Francisca Benitez
The weird thing about this work -- why there's some reason to wonder if it might be imaginary -- is that since those cones were put up about a month ago, there doesn't seem to be any work going on. In foul weather and in fair, on weekends and weekdays, there isn't any waterproofing going on. It's just the same empty plaza with a handful of orange cones.
Nagan wanted to know just what kind of timeline Chase was working on, so he asked the Buildings Department for a copy of the work plans -- usually a matter of public record. He was refused.
Paula Segal, a law clerk at Rankin and Taylor and a member of #whOWNSpace, tried to move things along with a Freedom Of Information request, but the Buildings Department shot back a denial, writing "it has been determined that the disclosure of the plans for this building, which post 9/11/2011 [sic?] has been designated a 'sensitive building,' may endanger the life or safety of persons." If Nagan wanted to see whether Chase was gaming city government to keep the plaza closed, he was told, he'd have to ask Chase's permission to see the plans first.
The idea that America's most powerful bank is allowed to undertake construction projects without the sort of public oversight that governs everybody else didn't sit well with Nagan, so he's decided to sue. Segal filed the paperwork last week, and motions in the case are scheduled for April 12.
The Department of Buildings did not respond to multiple calls for comment for this story.
We'll keep you updated.

Jeremy Dallman here. I wanted to let you know about a great paper from Fortify, one of our newest SDL Pro Network Tools members. The paper highlights the Microsoft SDL approach to secure software development and shows how Fortify's security solutions can help you implement the SDL and create/deploy more secure software.
At RSA 2010 last week, Fortify published a paper titled Optimizing the Microsoft SDL for Secure Development: Fortify Solutions to strengthen and streamline a Microsoft SDL Implementation. This paper does an excellent job of explaining the challenges of developing secure software, detailing the Microsoft SDL approach to secure software development, and mapping Fortify's solution offerings to each SDL Practice based on the Simplified Implementation of the SDL.
If you are looking for tools to support your implementation of the SDL, I would encourage you to read through Fortify's paper to see if their solutions can help you.

So, I'm doing some Kmeans classification using numpy arrays that are quite sparse-- lots and lots of zeroes. I figured that I'd use scipy's 'sparse' package to reduce the storage overhead, but I'm a little confused about how to create arrays, not matrices.
I've gone through this tutorial on how to create sparse matrices: http://www.scipy.org/SciPy_Tutorial#head-c60163f2fd2bab79edd94be43682414f18b90df7
To mimic an array, I just create a 1xN matrix, but as you may guess, Asp.dot(Bsp) doesn't quite work because you can't multiply two 1xN matrices. I'd have to transpose each array to Nx1, and that's pretty lame, since I'd be doing it for every dot-product calculation.
Next up, I tried to create an NxN matrix where column 1 == row 1 (such that you can multiply two matrices and just take the top-left corner as the dot product), but that turned out to be really inefficient.
I'd love to use scipy's sparse package as a magic replacement for numpy's array(), but as yet, I'm not really sure what to do.
Any advice?

Here's the Q&A Log from Part 16 (OWA) of the 24 Part Exchange 2007 Webcast Series. As usual, I did my best to clean out the duplicates. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Harold Wong
Exchange Server 2007 Webcast Series (Part 16 of 24) Questions and Answers Log (03-14-07)
Question: Will the 2003 URL still work for OWA users after I add the first CAS server? We have a single site and plan to use CCR so the mailbox role is going to be on a separate server.
Answer: If you are referring to your URL for the 2003 FE, then yes, it will still work for access to your Exchange 2003 BE servers.
Question: I have heard that OWA 2007 does not provide anyway to access PFs, what is the workaround?
Answer: You are correct. We are planning to support this with Exchange 2007 SP1. The only "workaround" I know of is to keep an Exchange 2003 FE server to proxy access to Public Folders. However, this will be problematic if your user's mailbox is on an Exchange 2007 Mailbox server.
Question: You will need three certs for owa. outlook anywhere and active sync on a single ISA, right?
Answer: Only if you use three different "Names" to expose the three features. If you use the same host name, then you only need one certificate.
Question: sp2 for windows 2003 was just released, is Exchange 2007 supported on the new service pack?
Answer: It should be.
Question: How can we access Files and Folders through OWA
Answer: This is a configuration setting on the Exchange server. If there is an attachment, or link in the e-mail, exchange will get the information for the user. This is controlled on a server setting for OWA, and has both Public, or Private network setting – depending on logon authentication. If enabled, the user will see a "Documents" Link on the left pane (lower left corner) of the OWA Page.
Question: so, http://<servername>/owa will take you to OWA 2007 and http://<servername>/exchange will take you to OWA 2003, correct?
Answer: Yes, that is how it works by default.
Question: Does the junk mail filter work as well on OWA as in the Outlook 2003 or 2007 client?
Answer: Yes.
Question: How do we go about accessing public folders via OWA2007?
Answer: OWA 2007 does not currently support access to Public Folders. We are planning to support this in Exchange Server 2007 SP1.
Question: How do we do "SSL off-loading" as we are currently doing in Exchange 2003?
Answer: There is an option within the OWA configuration on the Server side in Exchange 2007 to enable this as well.
Question: When I am trying to configure sharepoint access from my outlook 2007 profile is it is not accessible. Any idea why?
Answer: You configure this from the SharePoint Site. This does require Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS).
Question: Does Microsoft feel it's best practice to make the CAS/HUB server a domain controller/global catalog server to reduce network traffic? Mailbox role is on a separate server.
Answer: Form a security perspective NO, for more information on Deployment see – http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998636.aspx.
Question: How does one configure the Client Access role when they have mutliple A/D Sites but only one mailbox server?
Answer: You only need to implement Client Access servers in AD sites that have a Mailbox server. If you only have one Mailbox Server in one AD site (even though you may have 30 AD sites total), you only need to implement a minimum of one Client Access server role in the same site that the Mailbox server role is deployed in. Check out this Planning document talks about where to put servers… – http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998636.aspx.
Question: Can you access other contact folders in the Public folder space like in the outlook client ? Con you address email from them ?
Answer: Currently, we do not support access to Public Folders via OWA in Exchange 2007. We are looking to support this with Exchange Server 2007 SP1. Until I see a beta of SP1, I won't know exactly what features will be exposed in terms of Public Folder Access.
Question: Also I guess Harold also mentioned we can access files and folders using Sharepoint with OWA
Answer: Yes. If you enable this, then the user would enter the SharePoint site (http://sharepointsite) instead of a file share (\\server\share).
Question: In OWA 2007 there is no way to choose "First week of year", like it was in earlier version. Will you put that option back in SP1?
Answer: I don't know what you are referring to. The options for creating new recurring appointments in OWA 2007 resemble those of Exchange 2003. I don't see an option for "First week of year" in Exchange 2003 OWA either. Am I missing something???
Question: can i preconfigure an home share for the users?
Answer: I'm not sure what you are trying to do here. You can do this as part of the User properties in AD, but that has nothing to do with Exchange Server or OWA.
Question: In Outlook the Autocomplete cache is stored in a file on the local harddrive. Now when autocomplete works in OWA as well I wonder Where that information is stored
Answer: It is stored as part of the Mailbox profile on the Exchange Server.
Question: Can we edit any shared document?
Answer: Accessing of documents from File Shares and SharePoint sites via OWA in Exchange 2007 is strictly for Read-Only Access.
Question: How do you configure one URL for E2K3 mailboxes and E2K7 mailboxes?
Answer: Unfortunately, this is not something that you can do directly from Exchange 2007.
Question: where is the possibility to redirect mail in owa ?
Answer: I'm not sure what you want to do in terms of redirecting mail. You have to option to forward messages. An administrator can also specify an additional address to send emails to for your mailbox.
Question: If I'm using CCR, can I convert my disks to dynamic disk or do I have to stay with basic b/c of clustering?
Answer: No, you must keep them as basic disks due to the limitations of clustering.
Question: Is there any support for OWA access to file messages into PST files on a file share?
Answer: No. This has never been supported and I don't see this capability coming in the future.
Question: Is Contoso hiring?
Answer: Always – J
Question: is there a link for seting up the OWA for the options of public & private rights as well as forcing web rendering of documents
Answer: Please see: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124731.aspx.
Question: do you need to have the edge server if you have smtp servers from Iron Port
Answer: As mentioned in previous webcasts – Edge Server role is optional, but recommended.
Question: where is the month view in OWA?
Answer: Unfortunately, that is not available in Exchange 2007 OWA.
Question: What third party back up software supports Exchange 2007?
Answer: http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/partners/2007/backup.mspx.
Question: is there a multi center deployment guide for exchange 2007
Answer: The Exchange 2007 deployment documentation can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/2007/downloads/documentation.mspx.
Question: Can we change an existing "resource" mailbox so it shows up like the 2007 ones?
Answer: Yes. You do need to use the Exchange Mangement Shell cmdlets to perform this.
Question: Can an administrator populate a shared "favorites" list for internal file shares / sharepoint sites, so users wouldn't have to always type the URL's?
Answer: You could do a Group Policy on it and populate their IE Favorites. If you are referring to the option to access File Shares and SharePoint sites in Exchange 2007 OWA via the Documents link, there is no way to pre-populate that field.
Question: Is this series offered in pod casts or RSS feeds?
Answer: My understanding is that the entire series will eventually be converted to podcast format.
Question: The protocol used is SMB or HTTP when downloading the documents using OWA
Answer: The Client Access server will use SMB to connect to the File server to "grab" the file and then passes it to the client via HTTPS (for OWA).
Question: sometimes on the post Event resources email there is a link to the power point deck and sometimes there is not. Are the ones that are not linked posted somewhere?
Answer: That's what I'm trying to get "fixed". The Labcasts will not have a PPT Deck, but all the webcasts should. I've been testing myself and found that not all the webcasts have PPT Deck links. That is an issue that I'm working through on the back end. Thanks for your patience.
Question: We're running Exchange 2007 & 2000 concurrently. How do I move the distribution groups to 2007, or do I even need to?
Answer: There's no need to do that.
Question: does anyone know the winmsd command in Vista? This command doesn't work in Vista…
Answer: I honestly can't remember what information winmsd provided. Have you tried msinfo32 to see if that gives you what you need?

Politics McMorris to Donate Ney's Money
Postman reports that eastside Republican Congressman Dave Reichert is donating to charity the $5,000 he received from Rep. Bob Ney of Ohio, who today agreed to plead guilty to charges related to the Jack Abramoff corruption scandal.
But Ney's money is also washing around in another Washington State Congressional race that I wrote about in this week's Stranger: the Eastern Washington contest between freshman Republican Cathy McMorris and populist rancher Peter Goldmark.
The Goldmark campaign says McMorris received $2,500 from Ney (along with $5,000 from indicted former Republican Majority Leader Tom DeLay that she has yet to return). Will McMorris return or donate the Ney money?
Following the lead of the Reichert campaign, McMorris spokesman Dan Beutler just told me that a check for $2,500 has already been written and that details on its charitable destination will be announced soon. As for the $5,000 in DeLay money, Beutler said he would be sending me an old press release about the matter later this afternoon.
UPDATE: Beutler says McMorris is sending her Ney money to the Inland Northwest Red Cross.

Is this compatible with cubepoints?
For example if I install this with cubepoints, can I use badges function for this and cubepoints for the rest like using points to buy things etc?
I just need some confirmation that if someone comments on a blog, the points in this plugin will increase as well as the points in cubepoints. And same for other things..
They don't share the same point database right?

BenQ XL2420T Computer Monitor Review
A gaming monitor designed by and for gamers.
Meet BenQ's XL2420T Professional Gaming monitor: a display boasting a 2ms GTG pixel response time and integrated FPS modes, purportedly designed alongside input from professional Counter-Strike players. Boom, headshot.
This monitor is, without a doubt, a niche product with very serious gamers in mind—and not just because it claims to be. While the quick pixel response and first-person shooter (FPS) mode are leaning towards shooters as a genre, there are many kinds of games—and not just PC games—that can and would benefit greatly from a pixel response time engineered to this degree.
At an MSRP of $549 (we found it online for closer to $400), the XL2420T is not a mild investment, nor something you want for a family/office computer. Yet if you game hard during your off hours, BenQ's display might have the pinpoint-pixel prowess and game-geared features to decide whether you go "clutch mode" or not. Don't expect a cache of vivid colors, though: the XL2420T's boosted response time comes at the cost of color saturation, with its gamut only adhering to 72% of the NTSC standard. It's not going to look dull—72% is around the sRGB standard for monitors—but if it were any more rich in color it would risk a certain sluggishness in its pixel response.
The XL2420T supports a maximum resolution of 1920 × 1080, so it's out as an option for high resolution photo editing or any sort of profession relying on graphic design or hyper-accuracy of color. Yet as a display for 1080p gaming—be it sourcing from a PC, Xbox 360, or PlayStation 3—this "gaming is in the details" branded display seems like a quality choice.
The BenQ XL2420T (and XL2420TX) have been on the market since early 2012. Other than HDMI-based 3D viewing on the TX, the two monitors are specification clones, and this review serves as a performance breakdown of both.

I have been trying to install virtual systems on VMWare for a while now and encountered strange behaviour from my PC.
The behaviour is as follows:
On "automatic" virtualization mode it either outputs a cryptic error message (can MAYBE give later, if I can reproduce) right on startup (before even the BIOS) or it resets the complete HOST system (blackscreen, bios...)
If I install a Windows XP on it it works well on "binary translation" mode.
If I try installing Linux on it, in "binary translation" mode it crashes 1 or 2 seconds after I hit enter on the GRUB selection screen (after the first page of kernel messages rolled in)
Using VirtualBox it crashes right in the BIOS. It gave me a Bluescreen though! 0x00000101: CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT: a clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval
NEWS: I tried VirtualBox again and it did not completely crash the computer this time. It gave me a critical error and a log file: http://pastebin.com/yKZSDs91
In conclusion, it will crash instantly if VT-x is activated. If not, it seemingly only crashed if I try to install something with 64 bits.
Another update: Yes, it ONLY crashes when the guest is 64 bit!
On Linux using VirtualBox, it crashes with a Kernel Panic.
What I tried:
- Reinstalling Windows (my Windows installation was quite broken so it seemed natural. Didn't work though.)
- New BIOS
What I am certain of:
- Virtualization extensions are activated in the BIOS
What my computer specs are:
- ASUS P8P67 LE mainboard, newest BIOS/EFI firmware
- Intel Core i5 2500k
- Ati Radeon HD 5770
- 16 GB Corsair 1333mhz DDR3 RAM, 4 X 4 GB

Gathering Indoor Environmental Data Offers AdvantagesTechnology breakthroughs are making facility monitoring systems more affordable for a wider range of building types. The list of benefits continues to expand as access to indoor environmental data and the knowledge it imparts is applied to building performance.
Benefits related to IAQ include: improved indoor air quality, a complaint response mechanism, meeting LEED™ certification requirements, construction and renovation monitoring, making tenant spaces more marketable, and verifying effectiveness of maintenance programs.
Benefits related to building performance include: establishing a performance baseline, HVAC system optimization, validating green building performance, identifying energy-saving opportunities, assessing ventilation effectiveness, providing a basis for demand-controlled ventilation, and real-time commissioning.
Environmental monitoring systems have typically been justified only for use in critical room environments, such as clean rooms, where the value of the monitoring system is offset by the high costs of product contamination. Although most facilities managers are responsible for less-critical spaces, they still face the challenge of providing healthy and productive indoor environments. Their ability to do so can have a profound financial effect on the bottom line: In the United States, estimated potential productivity gains from improvements in indoor environments range from $20 to $50 billion (1996 dollars), according to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
To-date, it has been both prohibitively expensive and impractical to monitor indoor air on a periodic or continuous basis for typical commercial buildings. The cost of populating an entire facility with high-quality, very accurate sensors is only part of the challenge. Sensors, including those which monitor very common air quality parameters (i.e. carbon dioxide [CO2]), have traditionally been a maintenance burden due to the sensor's need for repeated calibration and its tendency to drift over time. The result is that indoor environmental quality measurements or tests are usually conducted on a reactive basis and, even then, only when the situation is extreme enough to warrant the expense. One-time environmental testing can easily cost thousands of dollars and often requires a week or more to receive results.
Recent technological advances have removed many financial and maintenance obstacles, making permanent monitoring systems a consideration for a broader range of facilities managers. Schools, healthcare facilities, and general office buildings can benefit from measuring a host of environmental conditions and use that information to respond to occupant complaints, optimize facility performance, and keep energy costs in check. In addition, feedback from the indoor environment can be used to establish baselines for building performance and document improvements to indoor air quality.
Parameters useful for evaluating indoor environmental quality and energy efficiency may be classifed into three categories:
Within these categories, facility-wide monitoring systems can provide independent measurement of a range of parameters, including temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs), and airborne particulates. While useful for reducing investigative time and expense in responding to occupant complaints, the data and analysis from continuous monitoring can also be used proactively to optimize building performance. For example, particle counts can be used to indicate the effectiveness of the ventilation system.
Buildings are dynamic environments - and while the original basis for design may have been sound, after they are operational, the reality is that mechanical system controls drift, building use changes, and occupancy rates fluctuate. These changes can have a significant impact on the ability of the HVAC system (as designed) to maintain a balance between occupant comfort, health, productivity, and operating costs.
A facility monitoring system can be a valuable tool for improving indoor air quality, identifying energy savings opportunities, and validating facility performance. Automating the process of documenting and analyzing key parameters and providing facilities managers access to the results can better equip them to meet the challenge of maintaining healthy, productive environments.

Hellenistic Pottery: The Plain Wares (Agora XXXIII) (Athenian Agora)
This book presents 847 examples of Hellenistic plain wares from the well-stratified excavations of the Athenian Agora. These pieces include oil containers, household shapes, and cooking pottery. A typology of these ceramics, based on both form and fabric, is followed by a chronology, using the fact that many of the pieces were found in "closed contexts" like wells. Finally, the author discusses the possible functions of the ceramic shapes found, and uses them to reconstruct some of the domestic and industrial activities of Hellenistic Athenians. "This volume will stand as a fitting capstone to a project of long duration, and it will enjoy many, many years as a vital and easy-to-use reference work." Andrea Berlin, University of Minnesota.

The A.C.T. Pro Elliptical is the more advanced model in the NordicTrack Commercial Series. Some attractive features of this machine are its compactness, its adjustable stride, and its iFit Interactive technology. It also stands out for its center drive design, which supports a more upright user position and lets people expend more energy during their workouts.
An important difference between the A.C.T. Pro and the A.C.T. Commercial is the user weight capacity; the A.C.T. Pro has a higher rating of 350 pounds.
Elliptical Hits: Nice Features of the NordicTrack A.C.T. Pro Elliptical
Elliptical Misses: Where NordicTrack Went Wrong
Overall Rating for the NordicTrack A.C.T. Pro Elliptical
The A.C.T. Pro Elliptical packs a lot of value into a compact machine. With over-sized pedals, adjustable stride, and a center drive design, it scores well on ergonomics – and the combination of traditional preset programs, iFit technology, and audio help make exercise interesting. Compared to the A.C.T. Commercial Elliptical, which usually costs less, the NordicTrack A.C.T. Pro Elliptical offers greater stability for heavy users.

"As always, the customer service and timeliness from Tiny Prints was excellent. I have been a repeat customer for nearly five years and this card has received the most compliments by far. Love this design, the graphic online does not do it justice!"
"This was the first year I ordered a photo card for Christmas. I really perused through the TinyPrints website, and carefully selected this card. We had taken a wonderful trip to Ireland in September and wanted to capture it on our cards. I wanted a card that had a good amount of photos. We were thrilled with the way these cards turned out, and received a lot of compliments from friends and family members who received them. The ease of using the website and creating and saving templates was super! I would definitely order from TinyPrints again! Bravo for a great product!"
"Was really happy with the way it turned out. My only complaint is that I wish there was a way to include a small picture with a large block of text on the back--this design only allowed for a small block of text if there was a picture. We did a large block of text with no picture, but I feel like it would have been easy to fit a small picture on there as well."
"Loved everything about this card. The rounded corners and soft colors made this year's holiday greeting feel even more special."
"Everything was good. The designer helped to get the entire photo on the card. The person that took the order helped upload the photo because i was having trouble. The quality of the card stock is excellent. I felt it darkened the photo a little. On the whole, a very good product! Very happy!"

Major League Soccer-leading Seattle will face the Philadelphia Union on Sept. 16 in the final in Chester, Pennsylvania. Philadelphia advanced on the road Tuesday night, beating FC Dallas on penalty kicks.
Seattle reached the final for the fifth time since joining MLS in 2009. The Sounders won three straight Open Cups from 2009-11, and lost at Kansas City on penalty kicks in 2012.
Chad Barrett opened the scoring in the sixth minute, and Rose made it 2-0 in the 33rd when he headed Marco Pappa's corner kick high into the upper left corner past goalkeeper Sean Johnson. Near the end of the 58th minute, Rose made it 3-0 when he headed in a target ball from Pappa.
The Sounders added three goals in a 4 1/2-minute span, with Obafemi Martins connecting in the 79th, and Cooper in the 82nd and 84th.


text: 000 FXUS63 KMKX 212050 AFDMKX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 350 PM CDT THU JUL 21 2016 .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND FRIDAY...Forecast confidence is medium Convection is developing to the northwest of the forecast area, near an outflow boundary/moisture gradient. They are also supported by the low level jet (LLJ)/moisture advection into that area, and a weak 500 mb vorticity maximum moving eastward. The storms are shifting southeast toward the area, and may continue into the early evening hours. There is a severe risk with these storms, with high mean layer CAPE and decent effective layer shear values. Storm Prediction Center has area in a slight risk for severe storms, as well as highlighting the area in a Mesoscale Discussion. Will need to adjust POPs last minute for these storms into the early evening hours. There will be a surface to 850 mb boundary sagging southward through the region later tonight into Friday. Not a lot of upper support is seen over the area. However, mesoscale models are showing spotty convection developing in eastern parts of the area later tonight into Friday morning. Kept slight chance to chance POPs with this boundary sliding slowly south through the area. Large CAPE with weak to modest deep layer shear suggests isolated severe risk, with locally heavy rainfall possible with high precipitable water values. Will continue the heat headlines as is for now through Friday. Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha Counties may have trouble reaching the 100 degree heat index threshold in some areas. Will let later shifts evaluate the need for adjustments to the current headlines. Convection during the day Friday may shake things up like they did today, so there is uncertainty here. .LONG TERM...SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...Forecast confidence is medium Upper-level high pressure should remain anchored over the southern Great Plains Saturday, with 120+ kt 250 mb jet streak over southern Ontario Canada riding over the ridge will bring enhanced upper-level divergence into Wisconsin. 500 mb shortwave associated with enhanced warm air advection will set the stage for likely showers and thunderstorms Saturday afternoon and evening. The Storm Prediction Center still has southern Wisconsin in a Marginal risk for severe weather for Saturday. By 21z Saturday, 21.12z guidance indicating MLCAPE values between 2000-3000 J/kg, with PWAT values between 1.5-2.0 inches. Sfc analysis showing good agreement lingering QPF over the forecast area overnight into Sunday morning. There could be some heavy rainfall with these as the high PWAT values linger over the area. 40+ kt LLJ is progged to move through, with the 21.12z GFS showing the nose of the LLJ going through southern WI. Then, cold front boundary moves through late Sunday as indicated by drop in 925 mb temperatures from 28 C to 22-23 C during the day Monday. MONDAY AND TUESDAY...Forecast confidence is medium Some lingering precipitation may continue across our southern counties early Monday as another mid-level shortwave translates just south of our area, but most of the day looks to be dry as high pressure builds in. Temperatures return to more seasonal values as the system departs, with highs Monday in the lower to mid 80s. Tuesday looks dry during the day as mid-level ridge briefly builds in before another shortwave moves in late Tuesday into early Wednesday. WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...Forecast confidence is medium Best forcing associated with the shortwave trough looks to be late Wednesday. Mid-level isentropic lift looks to provide this forcing, with decent values between -10 to -15 ubar/s. The shortwave is progged to translate through central MN and northern WI into Thursday, which should keep some chances of thunderstorms in the forecast. && .AVIATION/00Z TAFS/... Thunderstorms moving southeast into the area may affect Madison and perhaps the eastern TAF sites into this evening. Still some uncertainty with how long and where they will track, so will leave thunder mention out of TAFs for now. May need mention later on if they hold together. Could see MVFR/IFR visibilities and ceilings in storms, along with gusty winds and hail. Otherwise, VFR conditions are expected at TAF sites for most of tonight into Friday across TAF sites. There may be a period of light fog later tonight into Friday morning, with light winds and moist airmass across the area. A frontal boundary will slide southward across the region later tonight into Friday. There are chances for thunderstorms with the front during this time, but uncertainty exists with if and how widespread any storms may be. Thus, will leave out any thunder mention in TAFs for now. South to southwest winds should linger into early evening, with some gusts to 20 knots or so possible. Winds should become lighter tonight into Friday morning, as the front moves through the area. Winds should gradually veer to the northwest to north later on Friday, with northeast winds possible at the eastern sites later in the day. && .MARINE... Fog may occur at times across the nearshore waters of Lake Michigan into Friday night and Saturday. May see dense fog at times, until the dew points lower somewhat this weekend. The best shot for dense fog will be with periods of light winds. Dense Fog Advisories may be needed at times into this weekend. There is a chance for thunderstorms into Friday, as a frontal boundary slides south across the region. Some uncertainty here with if and how widespread the storms may be. && .MKX Watches/Warnings/Advisories... WI...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING until 7 PM CDT Friday for WIZ062-067-068.

Recurring Role
Root: Oh, did you not hear about my chat with Control? She's fun... in an unnecessary stapedectomy kind of way. But I do miss music in stereo.
Root: Samaritan presents a serious threat to our Machine, Harold. And Decima is trying to bring it to life. Do you really want to see what it looks like when two gods go to war?
Finch: (after Root sends him an electronic Viagra ad) In the meantime, I'll try to determine what message this is meant to convey.
Sam: Seems pretty clear to me, Finch.
Reese: I think she likes you, Harold.
Sam: This is Collier, right? Or at least that's your alias.
Collier: Can't say I know yours. So I'll just call you a target of opportunity.
Finch: Have you secured Mr. Wells, detective?
Fusco: Yeah, I got him. And cleaned up the charges, too. You're welcome very much.
Finch: A phrase which now makes my thanks seem less than sincere, detective.
Fusco: Hey, nice try, Cocoa Puffs. There's no way I'm letting him leave with you.
Root: I understand. But there are things you don't know. For starters, Cyrus is currently wanted by not one but two very dangerous organizations. And you have no idea that there are currently 27 people en route to this location, the closest of whom is carrying two concealed firearms and a push dagger he used to kill three people in Dubai last month--one of them just for fun.
Fusco: I don't care how big your brain is. Nobody's taking this guy from me without a big fat Federal warrant, you got that?
Root: (hands him a warrant) Joined the Bureau last month to get access to a nuclear plant in Tulsa. Long story.
Reese: You let her what?
Fusco: She had a warrant--a real one. What was I supposed to say? "Sorry, boss, Agent King is actually a superpowered nutball. Just ask my buddy, the urban legend."
Collier: See, I knew we had something in common--many things, I suspect. You're not the only one the government has betrayed. I want your help. See, America's dying. And everybody knows it. It's not just about privacy, it's about principle. Our nation is assassinating people with drones, holding them without due process, and yes, spying on its own people without cause or limits and in direct violation of our Constitution. But we have a plan to stop it, and if you join us, you will not only have your revenge, but you will help write a new chapter in American history.
Sam: You're right about all of it. I did work for the government, and I do want revenge. But if that work taught me anything, it's that how you do matters as much as what you do. And by that metric, you're all just terrorists. And I kill terrorists.
Finch: But I do believe that there's a lesson here about hubris.
Root: Well, if anyone would know about hubris, it would be the man who built God.
Root: That man has spent every day of his life believing that there is actually some sort of higher plan. That's the problem with humans--they just sit around, hoping that someone will fix things. But no one will. No one cares. the universe is infinite and chaotic and cold. And there has never been a plan. At least not till now.
Root: How badly did you have to break it to make it care about people so much?
Finch: That didn't break it. It's what made it work. It was only after I taught the Machine that people mattered that it could begin to be able to help them. I'd like to do the same thing for you, if you'd let me.
Root: Sorry, doctor, I didn't have time to make an appointment. But I know you'll make an exception for me.
Dr. Carr: Really? And, uh, how do you know that?
Root: The same way I know you can put a bullet through your hand before you dial 911.
Root: Look like it's time to go. I hope you don't mind starting a new life.
Cyrus: I was about due for one. Besides, it's all part of the plan.
Sam: Keep 'em dry. Change the dressings every 72 hours.
Root: I love it when you play doctor.
The opening sequence is changed to represent Root's point of view.

LUBBOCK (July 27, 2014) Pigweed is spreading aggressively this year in the High Plains after becoming resistant to the herbicide that once easily eradicated it and if left unchecked, it could cost Texas cotton growers much of their harvest.
Above-average rainfall has also helped the growth of pigweed, which can grow 10 feet tall and overtake crops.
Producers are checking their fields and seeking other herbicides to try to protect their harvests.
Eradication of pigweed gets more difficult if the plant goes to seed.
One female plant can have as many as 600,000 seeds that are carried by water but not wind.
Pigweed is a summer annual that's native to the Sonoran Desert and the Lower Rio Grande Valley and affects all row crops, including vegetables.
