Although the New Hampshire Primary is scheduled to be held on the second Tuesday in March, it hasn't been held in March since back in the '70s. New Hampshire is proud to hold the first Presidential Primary Election every four years. By state law, the New Hampshire Secretary of State has the authority to schedule the primary as early as is needed to ensure it will be the "first in the nation."
Occurring one week after the Iowa Caucuses, the New Hampshire primary is considered to be another important litmus test that can make or break a candidate. Like Iowa, winning isn't everything, and outperforming expectations are a better gauge of success. In the modern era, it is almost as common for the New Hampshire second place finisher to go on to be their party's nominee as it is for the winner.
At times, this process can seem silly. In New Hampshire this year, Mitt Romney won the Primary and declared victory. Ron Paul took second place, and then declared victory. Jon Huntsman got third and also declared victory. The only people not declaring victory were claiming either, "I didn't campaign in New Hampshire so it doesn't matter," or "This result won't make me drop out of the race."
So the Republican Primary after New Hampshire has the same plotline; Governor Mitt Romney is the front-runner, and the rest of the candidates are competing to see if anyone of them can rise up out of the pack to be the sole contender against him. Their problem is that they are already running out of time.
Rick Santorum barely missed winning in Iowa by eight votes and seemed poised to be that main contender. One week later in New Hampshire, he finished in fifth place. The talk-show pundits barely mentioned him in the post-primary analysis. It is a good example of how these early primaries can build you up and then break your heart.
Romney's win is impressive because he is the first non-incumbent Republican to win both Iowa and New Hampshire.
Next up in the process is the South Carolina Primary on January 21 and then the Florida Primary on January 31. If Romney wins South Carolina, he will pretty much be unstoppable. The race for second place is meaningless, and then there is even more good news for Romney. If he does well in South Carolina and Florida, the series of primaries that follow in February are Maine, Nevada, Colorado, Minnesota, Arizona and Michigan. Of those six, Romney won five of them in 2008, only losing to John McCain in Arizona, McCain's home state.
The real story to keep watching is the "nasty" factor. Newt Gingrich has been very vocal about the attacks that have come at him from Romney and his supporters. There are some very hard feelings between these two, and Gingrich is vowing to fight. He is reported to have 3.5 million dollars to invest in the South Carolina Primary and is expected to spend a good chunk of it going after Romney. The Republican attacks on each other could be extremely harmful for the eventual nominee. The mud they sling at each other doesn't go away and is being seen by the president and his campaign team. It has happened before. In 1988, republican nominee George Bush Sr. defeated democrat nominee Michael Dukakis. A work furlough program that Dukakis supported as Governor was the most incriminating attack against him and inspired the infamous Willie Horton television ads. This issue was originally raised by then candidate Al Gore in the Democratic Primaries. The Republicans remembered the issue and used it to their advantage.
The Republican contest hasn't changed much in the last twelve months, but the hopes are fading for an anti-Romney candidate to rise up and unify the far-right.
2012 New Hampshire Primary Results:
|Mitt Romney
|Ron Paul
|Jon Huntsman
|Newt Gingrich
|Rick Santorum
|Rick Perry
|Michele Bachmann

•NBC's Today Show
Orley's show continues to dazzle and amaze the most skeptical audience members. Flip's show draws anxious fans to clubs across the country where they storm the stages, hoping to be among the lucky volunteers to grab a seat and become the stars of the show. Comedy chains have never had a hypnotist that has replicated the incredible crowds, amazing creativity, or quirky sense of humor that Flip brings to each and every one of his shows. Orley is adamant about not embarrassing his volunteers. He prefers his audiences to laugh with the volunteers, not at them. He takes great care in making sure that the stars of his show remember everything, and have as much fun as his audience.
Orley's brilliant comedic timing and his on the spot creative imagination delivered a show in Washington DC that was so funny that an audience member laughed so hard they actually needed medical attention! Obviously this is not Flip's goal, but it does paint a vivid picture of how hilarious this show really is. In addition to his appearance on "Entertainment Tonight", Maury Povich has turned over his show to Flip twice, as has Ricki Lake, followed by his three traffic-stopping appearances on NBC's "Today Show", which met with rave reviews.

Newest draft pick:
With the 224th overall pick the New York Giants select:
TE - Deangelo Peterson - LSU
Mr. Irrelevant this year was someone who thought that they shouldve been more relevant in LSU's offense. Deangelo brings special receiving skills at the tight end position as he was previously a wide receiver. Deangelo will be developed slowly by one of the best tight end coaches in the NFL, in Mike Pope. Right away Deangelo will get some snaps on receiving downs with us while Scott Chandler, Lee Smith and Jake Ballard will shoulder most of the weight.

Last draft pick:
With the 160th overall pick the New York Giants select:
DE - Jack Crawford - Penn State
Jack will come to the Giants as a project. We feel that Jack has a lot of skill and size to be a great LE in the future but there are things he has to learn. We see a big upside in Jack though, and feel that he can develop into a great run stopper and passrusher. Jack will get brought in slowly and might get some snaps late in the season.

It's been fun guys. Thanks to those of you who have participated. Special thanks to Bagh for working on trades and being a great help overall.
I feel that overall this team has gotten better and positioned itself very well for now and the future. The draft has been focused on BPA and F/A on filling needs. I feel that weve run a very Giants like offseason and I am very proud to say I have been involved here.
The 9 main focuses:
1. Resolved the Oline
- We have added pieces to the oline that I feel makes us a much better now oline as well as makes the transition into the future. Will Beatty is in his prime and was our best olinemen last year. Getting him back was big for us. At LG we are starting Mitch Petrus. I firmly believe that Mitch is a good olinemen that can be a mauler for our team. He is young and looks to have a bright future. At center we kept Baas. This was JRs big move last year and I think we are in for a great surprrise this year. He will have time to get a feel of his teamates, the system and recover from injuries. Snee is at RG. At RT I believe we have the biggest improvement. Kareem was uneffective at best last year. Backus being brought in gives us a guy who is consistant and had a positive grade runblocking from the LT position. He has a slightly below negative passblockig grade, but still one that wouldve been the 2nd best on our team. Moving to RT should help him improve that also. As for depth, we have brought in Brandon Keith to backup RT in case of injury to Beatty (Backus would move to LT) or Backus. He is a runblocking RT who has started for Arizona the past few years. He can also lineup as an extra lineman. Boothe is the primary guard and center backup. I feel he has been solid this year when called upon. Brewer can still have some time to groom himself as the heir apparent to RT. We also brought Koets back. I feel that he was solid when he was here and he should be back from injury. We have upgraded the starting and depth units to our oline.
2. Resolved tight end position
- We have put in a lot of work here. We started by resigning ERFA Jake Ballard and putting him on the PUP list. We then brought in Lee Smith via trade. He is a nice big body, blocking tight end. He can be a solid run blocker for us. In free agency we signed Scott Chandler. Scott is very underrated. He can block, but is also a very good short to intermediate, big body receiver. He has a chance to blow up here. Lastly, we drafted Deangelo Peterson with the last pick in the draft. Peterson is a great receiving threat and can bring us that athletic receiving threat we need in our offense. He is still developing but he can still help a little right away.
3. Resolved DB situation -
With only two CBs on contract we had some work to do. We resigned Terrell to a very healthy price. We also resigned Justin Tryon. He will also play special teams. Lastly we have resigned Bruce Johnson. He was a solid nickel player for us when healthy. Still young and has some upside.
At S we had to replace Deon Grant. I feel we have definitely done that (and more) with the addition of Mark Barron. Barron was a playmaker in Alabama in the same role he is playing here. He is by far the best safety in this class and is a player that can play right away. Those guys are rare at 32nd overall.
4. Resolved HB situation -
With Jacobs being paid as much as he does and DJ Ware sucking as much as he does, we needed help here. We drafted HB Doug Martin at 64th overall. Many thought this was a steal. I feel the same way. Doug can be an every down back with receiving capabilities. He, Ahmad and Da'Rel can be a great 1-2-3 punch in the future. A vet was needed to have a stable situation, so Marion Barber was brought in. He is a solid back, who can be good in a pinch.
5. Resolved LB situation -
This was a simple situation with the amount of talent we have on this team. We moved Herzlich to the MLB situation. He started a few games late last year and he is ready for a bigger role. Brought inn Barrett Ruud as a stable veteran who can take over if need be or be a teacher to him and Greg Jones. At SLB, Mathias is listed as a starter, but most of his playing time will come at DE. Jacquian will be the player counted on there when we play 3 LBs, which will be less. Josh will be the future starter there, as he learns how to play. Josh will be in passrushing downs as he does that very well. We have the future LB situation set with Williams - Herzlich - Kaddu, as the three Giants LBs of the future.
6. Resolved Osi situation/DE situation
- This one is the most tricky. Interest in Osi was very very limited and cap space was tight, but we still got a good trade in my opinion, when we got the 52nd overall pick and TE Lee Smith for Osi. We then moved Kiwi to DE more. Dave Tollefson was also resigned. He was very good when he got playing time. We also drafted Jack Crawford. Although still raw, he has the ability to get to the quarterback. This maybe where we lost the most production of, but I feel we have supplemented elsewhere.
7. Resolved Special Teams
- We kept Steve Weatherford and resigned Hixon to be the PR. We have upgraded there.
8. Resolved WR situation
- We resigned Steve Smith and Domenik Hixon to help us right away while Jernigan learns for one more year. Both guys have had success here with Eli and we feel its a safe situation.
9. Set up future
- I feel we have done this more than anything. Ive already touched on the LB and oline situation. One situation I have not is the DT situation. We have brought in Jerel Worthy. He is a monster in the inside and this will set up for the departure of Chris Canty next year when it will cost a lot less to be able to move him. Also sets up a crazy passrushing DT group of Linval Joseph, Marvin Austin and Jerel Worthy. We have drafted to replace guys in the immeditate future and keep us a healthy franchise.
Also wanted to say this before FFMD II. I will not be participating in the next FFMD. I have some important matter I need to take care of. I have had to tend to these things during late in this FFMD and have contemplated quitting this one, but I did not want to let you guys down and wanted to fulfill my commitments. The only reason I mention this is for the sole reason that whoever is GM of FFMD II, I apologize that I will not be involved and am thankful if you participated here. I also urge you guys to do this. It is very fun and a good chance to get to know board members, players, and prospects.
Sorry for the whole serious tone to this, but I mean no disrespect or ill-will to FFMD II GM and wanted to get that across.
All in all, I feel that this mock was a successful one. Thanks again for participating.

Love the draft we had. We got a top 10 pick at 32, a 2nd round pick and contributing player at 34 and another 1st round pick at 64.
Jack Crawford and Josh Kaddu were both drafted higher then where we got them and they are high potential guys.
We did good everywhere but LBs, but Mark Barron would help out there with a three safety look.
Overall pretty good looking back to it.

In anticipation of taking some of the courses from offensivesecurty, (thanks to my boss's Credit card) :P
I bought a netbook to use as a dedicated backtrack machine.
I also used one of our servers at the office to run backtrack for speeding up cracking passwords (16gb ram 4 dual core xeon proccessors, raid 10 array of 8 hard drives,) and setup about 5 different boxes on a lab network with two test AP's (one wep, one WPA) Oh do I love it when My boss lets me play at work
Anyway, I bought a laptop from a friend, the Toshiba NB305.
I was delighted to find out that it boots from the SD slot and that the wifi card in it supports packet injection out of the box!
It also gets about 5-8 hours on one battery charge, Icing on the cake.
I maxed out the ram at a measly 2gb (the only downside of the laptop other than the 1024X600 resolution that I would prefer to be higher)
and I will be springing for a new 64GB SSD for it next paycheck...
In case someone else is looking to do something similar, I just wanted to let you know this is a great setup for that purpose, and fairly cheap, I have seen them for 200ish online.
Maybe we can compare other systems out there, If there is something better, let me know. I would be interested to see something in the same price range that can support more ram to do the same thing.
I have used the Acer aspire one in the past(packet injection seemed slow), the Asus EEEPC (701)(Tiny, bad battery life, Keyboard too small) and my Lenovo X201 and all of them work ok for this (with the exception of the video issues I had with my X201, fixed now tho)
Anyone have a better Setup?
An suggestions on how to improve this setup?

11 a.m. 82A01-1206-CT-249. Nearly three years after being told that Venita Hargis died from complications of a fall at a nursing home owned and operated by appellee-defendant, The Good Samaritan Home, Inc. ("Good Samaritan"), appellants-plaintiffs Virginia E. Alldredge and Julia A Luker learned that Hargis's death had actually resulted from another patient attacking her. Twenty-three months later, Alldredge and Luker, as co-personal representatives of Hargis's estate, filed an action against Good Samaritan under Indiana's Wrongful Death Statute, Indiana Code section 34-23-1-1. Treating Good Samaritan's motion to dismiss as a motion for summary judgment, the trial court found that Good Samaritan's fraudulent concealment had equitably tolled the time by which the complaint needed to be filed, but that the action was nonetheless barred because Alldredge and Luker had failed to file their complaint within a reasonable time.
On appeal, Alldredge and Luker argue that the two-year timeframe required by Indiana's Wrongful Death Statute for the filing of claims is a statute of limitations, not a condition precedent, and that Indiana Code section 34-11-5-1 applies to toll the statute of limitations such that the two years begins when the fraudulent concealment is discovered. Furthermore, Alldredge and Luker argue that public policy considerations require this interpretation because the reasonable time standard used by the trial court violates equal protection.

Mike - from Hixson, TN
The change to trans fat free shortening has perplexed many cake decorators! For some people, the icing is too stiff, and has been falling off the cake. For others, like you, the icing is too soft and won't crust or hold its form. When making icing using trans fat free vegetable shortening, try adding a teaspoon Meringue Powder per 1 cup icing to make the icing stiff enough to hold its form and also crust. For those of you with the icing too stiff, add a tablespoon or so of light corn syrup, water or milk.

Antithyroglobulin antibodyThyroglobulin antibody
Antithyroglobulin antibody is a test to measure antibodies to a protein called thyroglobulin, which is found in thyroid cells.
How the Test is Performed
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
How to Prepare for the Test
You may be told not to eat or drink anything for several hours before the test (usually overnight). Your doctor may monitor youor tell you to stop taking medications that may affect the test results until after the test.
How the Test Will Feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the Test is Performed
This test helps detect possible thyroid problems. Antithyroglobulin antibodies can lead to the destruction of the thyroid gland. Such antibodies are more likely to appear after thyroid gland swelling (inflammation) or injury.
Thyroglobulin antibody is also measured. Sometimes the thyroglobulin level is measured too, for example to follow up on some types of thyroid cancer.
Normal Results
A negative test is normal -- it means no antibodies to thyroglobulin are found in your blood.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
A positive test means antithyroglobulin antibodies are found in your blood. This may be due to:
- Graves disease
- Hashimoto's thyroiditis
- Hypothyroidism
- Myxedema
- Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
- Thyrotoxicosis
- Type 1 diabetes
Pregnant women and relatives of those with autoimmune thyroiditis may also test positive for these antibodies.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)

Health care agentsDurable power of attorney for health care; Health care proxy
A health care agent is someone you choose to make health care decisions for you when you cannot.
A health care agent is also called a health care proxy. This person will act only when you are not able to.
Why Have a Health Care Agent
When you are unable to speak for yourself due to an illness, your health care providers may be unclear as to what type of care you would like.
Your family members may be uncertain or disagree about the type of medical care you should receive. Decisions about your medical care may then be made by doctors, hospital administrators, a court-appointed guardian, or judges.
A health care agent chosen by you can help your health care providers, family, and friends make decisions during a stressful time.
Your agent's duty is to see that your wishes are followed. If your wishes aren't known, your agent should try to decide what you want.
Health care agents are not required, but they are the best way to be sure your wishes for health care treatment are followed.
What the Health Care Agent Can Do
If you have an advance directive or living will, your health care agent can make sure your wishes are followed. Your agent's choices come before anyone else's wishes for you.
If you do not have a living will or an advanced directive, your health care agent will be the one to help your health care providers make important choices.
Your health care agenthas no control over your money.Your agent also can't be made to pay your bills.
What an agent can and can't do differs by state. Check your state laws.In most states your agent can:
- Choose or refuse life-sustaining and other medical treatment on your behalf
- Agree to and then stop treatment if your health doesn't improve
- Access and release your medical records
- Request an autopsy and donate your organs, unless you've stated otherwise on your advance directive
Before you choose a health care agent, you should find out whether your state allows a health care agent to do the following:
- Refuse or withdraw life-enhancing care
- Refuse or stop tube feeding or other life-sustaining care -- even if you haven't stated on your advance directive that you don't want these treatments
- Order sterilization or abortion
Choosing Your Health Care Agent
Choose a person who knows your treatment wishes and is willing to carry them out. Be sure to tell your agent what's important to you.
- You can name a family member, close friend, minister, priest, or rabbi.
- You should name only one person as your agent.
- Then name one or two other people as backups. You need a backup person in case your first choice can't be reached when needed.
Talk to each person you are thinking of naming as your agent or alternate. Do this before you decide who should carry out your wishes.Your agent should be:
- An adult, 18 years or older
- Someone you trust and can talk to about the care you want and what is important to you
- Someone who supports your treatment choices
In many states, your agent can't be:
- Your doctor or health care provider
- An employee of your doctor or of a hospital, nursing home, or hospice program where you receive care, even if the person is a trusted family member
What You Need to Do
Think about your beliefs about life-sustaining treatment. Life-sustaining treatment is the use of equipment to prolong your life when your body organs stop working well.
A health care proxy is a simple legal paper that you fill out. You can get a form online, at your doctor's office, hospital, or senior citizen centers.
- In the form you will list the name of your health care agent, and any backups.
- Many states require witness signatures on the form.
A health care proxy is not a living will. A living will is a written statement that can include your health care wishes. Unlike a living will, the health care proxy allows you to name a health care agent to carry out those wishes if you cannot.
It is important to know that you can change your mind about health care choices at any time. If you change your mind, or if your health changes, talk to your doctor. Be sure to tell your health care agent about any changes in your wishes.

Each Tuesday, millions of people visit the YouTube website to view the newest creation from Devin Graham.
The young filmmaker's videos that are about three minutes long, and range in topics from video games to outdoor adventures to nature films and some draw more than 16 million views, nearly matching the number of viewers of The Big Bang Theory, the fourth-most-watched television program in the nation in early December. Even a slow week will usually bring in more than a half-million views, with plenty of videos getting between 1 and 4 million clicks.
Graham, 29, went to Brigham Young University for awhile, but he dropped out after he realized he could support himself making the videos.
"I essentially try to come up with concepts that go viral. I'm always trying to think of the next big thing," he said.
He posts a new video each week on his YouTube channel, and money comes from ads on the site. In addition, companies fly him around the world to shoot videos marketing a product or event.
Just over the summer, Graham was flown to Africa, New Zealand, Iceland, Tahiti, Iceland, New York, England and Hungary.
He originally thought he would make Hollywood films, but that has changed as he has found success on YouTube.
"What determines my success is my audience," he said. "As long as they watch, I can make any kind of movie I want to make, and to me, that's the fun part."
He says he is approached constantly by companies to make films. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he won't accept jobs from alcohol or tobacco companies.
"I'm very selective," he said. "I only take on ideas that sound fun for me or are creative and give me creative control."
Some films are based on video games. The film that captured 16 million pairs of eyes was based on the video game Assassin's Creed. He wasn't contracted to do it, but he knew there would be appeal as millions of people play the game.
It features Bountiful resident Ronnie Shalvis performing parkour or free-running stunts at landmarks in Salt Lake City. Shalvis jumps down railings of the stairs at the Salt Lake City Public Library's main branch, runs along high beams at the University of Utah and flips over the stream running through the City Creek Center.
Shalvis has been doing parkour for seven years. He describes the idea behind the activity as running away or escaping a place using the obstacles around him as an aid, and free-running is more about the creativity of finding new ways to move through space.
He suggested the spots to use downtown as he had practiced there in the past and knew what areas would be conducive to his stunts. He is part of the Ensoul parkour team, and does stunts on his own. Since the first Assassin's Creed video he made with Graham, he went from getting two to three jobs in six months to having four to five jobs in two months.
"The exposure has been great," he said.
He also went from 500 subscribers at his YouTube channel to 30,000.
He works for his father doing construction when not doing stunts professionally, but he hopes to be a full-time stuntman.
"What I love the most is the freedom it gives me. If I'm walking down a sidewalk, I'm not confined by sidewalks and walls," he said. "It gives me the freedom to do what my body is capable of doing."
Graham also made videos for The Dirty Dash and Color Me Rad races, and organizers said the videos helped increase the number of participants.
"When we saw his videos, it was like 'Holy crap! These are amazing!'" said Matt Ward, who self-identifies as some marketing dude for The Dirty Dash and Color Me Rad. "When people watch the videos, they want to do the races because he captures the essence of them. He puts you there."
The races had two videos made, and Ward was impressed with Graham's speed. He had a working draft to them within hours, and a completed film within a week.
"He's OCD and a workaholic, and we love it," Ward said. "We are the same, and we love people who love their work as much as we do, and he's one of those guys."
Graham's philosophy is summed up well in his YouTube handle of Devin Supertramp, a reference to one of his favorite books, Into the Wild.
"In the book, he goes out and pursues his dreams and changes his name to Alexander Supertramp," he said. "It's all about pursuing your dreams and inspiring others to do the same. It's about expressing that whole mentality."

US Secretly Halts Egypt Aid; Saudis Publicly Fill Void
(NEWSER) – Amid reports that the White House is quietly halting US military aid to Egypt—at least temporarily—Saudi Arabia is taking the bold step of announcing it will fill any financial void. Gulf countries are planning a $12 billion package for Egypt, and Saudi Arabia is the biggest donor, the Washington Post reports, noting that US aid amounts to just $1.5 billion annually. "Concerning those who announced stopping their assistance to Egypt or threatening to stop them, the Arab and Islamic nation is rich with its people and capabilities and will provide a helping hand to Egypt," Saudi Arabian finance minister Prince Saud al-Faisal said.

Jimmy Eriksson is the first Swedish driver ever to have won the acclaimed German F3 title. After an impressively executed season with Team Lotus, Eriksson managed to secure the crown in the season finale at Hockenheim. This success marks the most high-profile achievement in the career of the 21-year old so far and comes in his third year of Formula 3 racing - all of them loyally spent within the Motopark Academy that now races under the name Lotus.
Born and raised in the small Swedish town of Tomelilla a short drive from Malmö, motor racing was far from a given career path for Eriksson. His first experience of the sport came in a series of ploy karting outings at father Arne's carrier company grounds, but it was only when the owner of the local karting track discovered Jimmy's natural ability that the wheels started to turn - a fitting and literal expression.
The year 2005 had seen Eriksson enter his first Formula Yamaha karting race and begin a journey that would eventually make him one of Sweden's brightest prospects on the road to international motor racing. Despite starting out in the sport later than most of his rivals - at the age of 14 - Eriksson quickly demonstrated promising skills that saw him win his first race after just one year of trying. By 2008 he completely dominated the Swedish karting scene, claiming no less than three titles - including the Swedish Championship - as he began to nurture thoughts of a move into single-seaters for the following campaign.
With his father and family having no previous experience of motorsport, taking the step onto the single-seater arena wasn't going to happen without the benefit of advice from someone who knew the business. Finland's Kimmo Liimatainen - a former Formula 3 driver - facilitated contact between the fledgling Swedes and Motopark Academy Team Principal Timo Rumpfkeil and it was immediate affection from both sides. "I'm convinced that Jimmy will have a successful career in single-seater racing," Rumpfkeil says today. "Everybody can see that he's got the pace to do so."
2009 duly saw Eriksson make the move into car racing with the Oschersleben-based team for a season in Formula Renault NEC. After winning at Alastaro and ending up 15th overall in his first-ever campaign outside the karting sphere, team and driver decided to advance to Formula 3 - or, more precisely, to the ATS Formula 3 Cup - in 2010. Eriksson again proved capable of making a successful switch of category, taking to the top step of the podium with a strong drive at a wet/dry EuroSpeedway Lausitz - where he led home fellow countryman Felix Rosenqvist in the first Swedish Formula 3 1-2 in decades.
Following a one-year stint in the Formula 3 Euro Series, in 2011, Motopark Academy opted for joining forces with British sports car manufacturer Lotus, in 2012, for another attempt to win the ATS Formula 3 Cup title in 2012 - with Jimmy Eriksson and Japan's Kimiya Sato representing the team's lead drivers. The influence of Lotus has been felt throughout the paddock, and after an exceptional year that began with victory already in the opening race of the campaign at Zandvoort, Eriksson came out on top to finally deliver championship glory to Rumpfkeil's F3 operation.
"I think Jimmy has done exactly what was expected of him this year, and he has done it well," says Eriksson's Press Manager Mattias Persson. "He's a good guy to be around and he really has deserved this title."
Jimmy Eriksson displayed a steep learning curve. He certainly is one of thee top trained Formula 3 drivers with a lot of experience under his belt. Painstaking data analysis, professional and productive communication with his engineer and his matured approach are just some of the features that make him so special. "No doubt, Jimmy also made his mistakes," reveals Timo Rumpfkeil. "He often wanted too much too quickly. But now he has learned to settle for finishing third if trying to work his way further up would be too risky."
In addition to pursuing his motor-racing career, the 21-year old Swede also works for his father's carrier company and even acts as truck driver, every now and then. Nonetheless, the cockpit of a racing car offers him better opportunities to make full use of his potential.
"It's also good for Sweden to have an international F3 champion again," adds Persson who hopes that his driver will continue his way up the single-seater ladder. "After all, the category still is popular back home in Sweden, after the Ronnie Peterson and Reine Wisell days."

Why I'm Glad Daria Didn't Lose Her Virginity
In 1997, MTV launched a new show called Daria. The show aimed to capture high school through the eyes of a teenage girl, mirroring other popular shows of the decade (My So Called Life, Buffy etc.) which also reflected hormonal, angsty teenage girls as the main protagonists.
The character Daria Morgendorffer, who the show is (obviously) named after, was a character on the popular TV show Beavis and Butthead. Why Beavis and Butthead was popular is beyond me. Every time I've tried to watch a segment of this show of gurgling stoners it makes me feel like I'm missing out on the 'humour.' Kind of like how I feel watching Two and a Half Men.
Here's an early appearance of Daria on Beavis and Butthead:

(NNPA)—President Barack Obama's State of the Union address is a testimony to the power of we. We, who dared to dream breaking the centuries-old color barrier at the White House was possible; we, who continue to fight for expanding voting rights; we, who battle tirelessly every election to maximize voter participation and minimize voter intimidation. His first State of the Union address is a paean to those who have joined together throughout history to change our country for the better.
We are in crisis today. The greed of fat cat bankers has unleashed a torrent of predatory lending and a trickle of permanent loan modifications that together are turning homeowners into the homeless. The unemployment rate for Americans of all colors is over 10 percent, Black and Brown American unemployment hovers above 15 percent. The jobless rate among African-American men in many cities is over 50 percent. Approximately 50 million Americans lack health insurance. More than 50 million people in America—disproportionately children—don't get enough to eat.
The president unveiled new polices to support working families. He reiterated his commitment to rein in some of the worst excesses of Wall Street, and pledged his enduring dedication to bring health care to millions of uninsured Americans. He expressed his forceful and compassionate commitment to the people of Haiti—a swift, comprehensive response to the human tragedy that stands in stark contrast to his predecessor's reaction to the thousands victimized by Hurricane Katrina.
President Obama outlined the right agenda—one that is pro civil rights, pro human dignity, and pro the American Dream for every American. However, he cannot do it without us.
Predatory banks, profit-driven health care CEOs, and those big business leaders who would see our country and our families go bankrupt before they would pay their own way (or even a living wage) are committed to funding a fierce battle for the status quo. The Supreme Court, still dominated by those who helped steal the election in 2000 and their protégés, has unleashed unlimited amounts of corporate dollars into the political landscape with its ruling this month on campaign finance reform. President Obama has vowed to fight. He has pledged to reverse the worst impact of the Supreme Court decision. Yet without each of us fully engaged, loads of greedy multi-national corporate treasure will be used to crush his agenda and those who support it for simply daring to do the people's will.
Still we can win. Organized people ultimately trumps organized money.
But without you and all your friends and neighbors back on the battlefield, sowing and reaping the power of we, there is no guarantee progress will continue. Like every great wave, the one that made it possible for a Black family to live in the White House must be regenerated, or it ebbs. More importantly, our communities' and families' fates, which are in perilous condition, will ebb with it.
We can be proud of the progress President Obama has made—implementing policies to stem massive job losses, extending health care coverage to millions of children, stabilizing the economy, increasing women's ability to ensure fair treatment in the workplace, rebuilding the Justice Department and EEOC's ability to protect Americans' basic rights, and restoring our nation's ability to protect its food and water. These are our victories.
Some argue that our president has not pushed hard enough for the change we need. But just as this administration's greatest accomplishments are in the hands of the idealists and organizers, so too must we claim the shortcomings.
In too many instances in the past 12 months we have powered down, left the field for the bleachers, and chosen to play armchair pundit rather than continue to build and lead. If our president is not bold enough, it is up to us to build the next wave for bolder action.
The great Frederick Douglass once said, "If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation…want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters… Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will."
We cannot be silent. The change we seek is in our hands.
(Benjamin Todd Jealous is president and CEO of the NAACP.)

Chicago Transit Authorities Looking Into Possibility Train Accident Was Intentional
(Chicago, IL) -- Transit authorities are looking into whether or not a morning train accident in suburban Chicago was intentional. Police tell CBS Chicago it's possible someone hijacked one of the trains, sending it crashing into another. Both of them were on the same track.
Dozens of people are being treated for injuries following a train collision in suburban Chicago. Forest Park Mayor Anthony Calderone tells NBC Chicago that number is up to 48. Early reports from transit officials said several people were injured. Most of those being treated are said to be suffering minor injuries. The two trains were on the same track, but one was not moving.

Politico Gives Jindal A Pass On Oil Spill Response
Blog ››› ››› JOCELYN FONG
In an article titled, "Bobby Jindal hammers President Obama on drilling," Politico reports that the Louisiana governor attacked Obama's response to the BP oil spill in an NBC interview today. From the article:
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal used a TV appearance Wednesday morning marking the first anniversary of the BP oil spill not only to tout the progress his state has made but also to attack President Barack Obama's response to the spill and his policies more broadly.
As he touted his state's progress, he once again criticized the Obama administration for its moratorium last summer on deepwater drilling. "One of the side effects, one of the things we need to recover from is the administration imposed a one-size-fits-all moratorium after the spill," he said. "We want drilling to be done safely but we don't want to lose thousands of jobs down here."
But the Politico article didn't mention that the signature piece of Jindal's own response to the oil spill is widely seen as a failure and a waste of time and money.
During the spill, Jindal repeatedly attacked the Obama administration for not immediately approving his plan to build sand berms to block the oil, stating in June that "The time for studies and discussion is over." In July, the New York Times reported that "almost two dozen coastal scientists from Louisiana and around the country have urged the federal government to halt the construction of sand berms in the gulf, calling the project ineffective in the fight against the oil and a waste of resources that could have heavy environmental consequences."
In October, Greenwire reported that Louisiana continued to build the berms despite ongoing concerns among scientists (via Nexis):
Though many scientists say that oil from the Gulf of Mexico spill is dispersed too widely by now to be captured by sand berms, Louisiana is still building the structures to capture oil.
"It certainly would have no impact on the diluted oil, which is what we're talking about now," said Larry McKinney, who leads the Gulf of Mexico research center at Texas A&M University. "The probability of their being effective right now is pretty low."
The state has built 10 miles of berms since June with sand dredged from the Gulf as Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) has pushed for federal officials to approve the project. The state is now working on a 22-mile berm project on BP PLC's dime, decreased from an originally proposed 40-mile plan after scientists said they were concerned that the berms would harm estuary ecosystems.
Berms have so far captured 1,000 barrels of oil, what one cleanup company's president called a "paltry" number compared with the 5 million barrels of oil that are believed to have spilled into the Gulf as a result of the Deepwater Horizon explosion in April. Other activities such as burning and skimming, and BP's work at capturing oil at the wellhead, have been more effective in terms of barrels of oil captured.
Later, the staff of the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill declared that the sand berm project had failed to effectively contain oil. It had taken Jindal until November to redirect the remaining funds for the project to coastal restoration efforts.

Celebrating irreverence: Eggheads
If you visit the UC Davis campus, chances are you'll walk past one of the late art professor Robert Arneson's Egghead ceramic sculptures. Since they began appearing on campus in 1991, the works of art have caught the attention — and often hit the funny bone — of visitors as well as the campus community.
Arneson's sculptures epitomized the 1960s and 1970s Bay Area Funk art movement. Fusing offbeat humor and irreverence with Pop-inspired subject matter, he used everyday objects to create biting satire. In The Egghead Series, created by Arneson specifically for UC Davis, the fun is to figure out for yourself what the artist was saying about life. Five Eggheads are scattered across the UC Davis campus — some of the sculptures are tucked away and difficult to find.
Arneson taught on campus from 1962 until 1991.

Latos strong, Reds beat Cubs 4-1
CHICAGO -- Mat Latos pitched seven sharp innings for his first win of the season and Jay Bruce had two run-scoring doubles, leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night.
With the wind blowing in on a cold summer night, Devin Mesoraco's five-game homer streak came to an end. The Reds catcher was tied with Adam Dunn, Ken Griffey Jr., Johnny Bench, George Crowe and Ted Kluszewski for the franchise record.
Latos (1-0) allowed one run and five hits in his third start after beginning the season on the disabled list. Aroldis Chapman pitched a scoreless ninth for his 14th save in 15 chances.
Cubs starter Edwin Jackson (5-8) allowed four runs and six hits in 5 1/3 innings.

A client has complained to me that her search doesn't handle plural and singular keywords interchangeably. I have a single MySQL FULLTEXT column on her products table that contains all searchable content.
There is a chair product on there and if you search chairs, nothing comes up, you have to search just chair. (Note the database is small with only about 300 products). What I have done, which seems to work, is when a search term is entered I create a plural and singular of it and search for them both.
'chair' -> 'chair chairs''chairs' -> 'chairs chair''sony playstation' -> 'sony playstation sony playstations'
The bits in single quotes on the right would appear in the MATCH part of the query.
It seems to work although I accept that it isn't always grammatically correct. E.g.
'coat for children' -> 'coat for childrens'
Are there likely to be any issues in doing this? I looked into using the BOOLEAN wildcard on the right 'chair*' but that's too inaccurate.
As an aside, on a slightly larger database I have a similar column with FULLTEXT. Not all the records are searchable though. The ones that aren't have a bool column issearchable and the FULLTEXT column is NULL. What do you think is more scalable? Using WHERE issearchable = '1' or just deleting the issearchable column and letting MySQL skip over the null FULLTEXT coulmn. Right now, the table isn't big enough to make a noticeable difference when benchmarking. I'm thinking seeing as it's indexed it will be faster for MySQL to skip over null columns rather than first work out which ones are issearchable. Since it's only got a cardinality of 2 I can't index it.
Interesting problem.
I think I would try using queries with wildcard even though it would likely return some false positives
A problem would be the different ways plurality is expressed. eg;chair - chairsbench - bencheschild - childrenetc.
And even if you did something like word% or word___you could still miss words that instead of having suffixes have different spelling eg.parenthesis - parenthesesman - men
You could actually split the query string into separate words and do some more intelligent expansion of words - in your scripting language (e.g. php) you could detect whether each word is plural or singular and add the proper new word to the query. You could even build a list of irregular nouns so that they are handled like they should.
Personally, I've never had much luck with mysql FULLTEXT search - very little customization and weird searching mechanisms, I find it never behaves like I want it to. I usually do searches by using a combination of LIKE and REGEXP clauses that are prepared by my php script - much better results and I have more control of how the search is actually performed. Sure, it's slower than FULLTEXT but the speed is pretty good for any table with 10000 records or less (and most often online shops don't exceed this number).
Sorry for the late reply.
Language is a tricky thing…I have just done a bespoke multi-lingual CMS/site and while it wasn't too complicated it really makes the development time longer as you have to separate every bit of text from the HTML templates.
@Mittineague I know what you mean. Having said that, my idea above probably works about 85% of the time so maybe that's what I should use for now.
@lemonjuice I agree. FULLTEXT is great for a really quick solution, it's fast and does work quite well generally and is better than LIKE on its own. However, it's there's not much you can do to tweak it. I'm intrigued as to your solution but I'm hopeless with REGEX.
What do you think is better (performance-wise) out of these—or doesn't it really matter? If you run EXPLAIN it just says it's using the FULLTEXT index.
SELECT * FROM pages WHERE MATCH(searchtext) AGAINST ('$keywords') AND searchtext != '';SELECT * FROM pages WHERE MATCH(searchtext) AGAINST ('$keywords') AND searchtext != NULL;SELECT * FROM pages WHERE MATCH(searchtext) AGAINST ('$keywords') AND issearchable = 1;
Finally, I have just done a site that has a single table that stores the FULLTEXT index for the entire site (pages, blogs, faqs, etc) so I can use InnoDB foreign keys elsewhere. If all my tables were MyISAM would it better practice to let pages, blogs, faqs, etc have their own FULLTEXT index and do a UNION query?
Generally, the regex you would most often need in this case is this:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE text REGEXP '[[:<:]]word[[:>:]]';
This will find rows with word - but not rows with words or sword. This is very basic search and moreover there's a problem with any non-English accented characters because REGEXP works properly only in the basic latin character set. So what I do is I set up another table that hold data specifically for search - a sort of search index that is updated whenever necessary, for example (searching for products):
CREATE TABLE `search_index` (
`prod_id` MEDIUMINT(8) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
`name` VARCHAR(1000) NOT NULL,
`text_data` MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`prod_id`)
As you can see I have two text fields here - the reason is that I want words found in the product name to be more important than those in the product description and I can use this distinction later. text_data will contain product descriptions, specifications, and all other data that I want to be searchable - simply concatenated into one long string. All this data is inserted with any accented characters converted to their Latin equivalents and any unimportant special characters (like punctuation) are omitted.
When performing the actual search, first I put all my results into a temporary table. I do it because this way I can easily influence the importance (relevance) of different types of matches - in this case name or text_data:
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE `found_pages_tmp` (
`prod_id` MEDIUMINT(8) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
`relevance` TINYINT(3) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`prod_id`)
And then I search my product table for sony playstation. First, I'm searching product names and I give these searches highest relevance of 8:
INSERT INTO found_pages_tmp (prod_id, relevance)
SELECT prod_id, 8 FROM search_index
name REGEXP '[[:<:]]sony[[:>:]]' AND (name REGEXP '[[:<:]]playstation[[:>:]]' OR name REGEXP '[[:<:]]playstations[[:>:]]');
The REGEXP part has been created automatically by my PHP script after splitting the query into words, stripping accents and punctuation and taking into account plural expansions, etc.
Then I add to this search results within other text data, they will get the relevance of 1 and will add up to the relevance of any previously found results:
INSERT INTO found_pages_tmp (prod_id, relevance)
SELECT prod_id, 1 FROM search_index
WHERE text_data REGEXP '[[:<:]]sony[[:>:]]' AND (name REGEXP '[[:<:]]playstation[[:>:]]' OR name REGEXP '[[:<:]]playstations[[:>:]]')
As you can see a match in the product name is 8 times more important than a match in the product description.
And finally I read the search results for display:
SELECT * FROM found_pages_tmp
ORDER BY relevance DESC;
This is of course just a simplified version because normally I join the results with the product table and add product name or price as the secondary ORDER BY column. And often I first insert my results into a search cache table so that the search doesn't have to be repeated if the user navigates across different page numbers of a large result set or repeats the same search within a short period of time. But these details are not the main subject here.
I have used this technique on a few sites and the results are quite good. I can tweak this idea in different ways to get closer to how I want the search to be performed - this is not perfect and quite far from advanced algorithms used by google search but still much better than plain LIKE or FULLTEXT.
(FULLTEXT will not find words that are shorter than 4 or 5 characters - depending on how the server is set up - and if more than 50% of rows are found then you get an empty result - quite unbelievable to me how someone thought it to be a reasonable idea! BTW, I suspect mysql.com site uses FULLTEXT search for their site and I always find it hard to use their search engine - the results are weird and often far from what I intended)
It looks like MySQL 5.6 supports FULLTEXT on Innodb but it behaves somewhat differently than in MyIsam - to me this looks messy...
Wow, thanks Lemonjuice, I've bookmarked your post.
By the way, do you know if it's possible to combine a FULLTEXT query with a LIKE '% %' query and still order by relevancy?
From the little I have read on the subject, I was led to believe the two are mutually exclusive.
That wouldn't surprise me as I don't think LIKE can generate a relevancy score. However, if anyone knows otherwise that would to good to know.
LIKE has no concept of relevency -- you either match or you don't.
For fulltext many engines will support handling of plurals pretty transparently. Really depends on what you are using.
I don't have any seat time with MySql fulltext but in general you'd be fine just leaving null values in the searchable fields and not filtering -- you can't find relevent results in NULL can you?
Yeah, so I guess you can't really mix them.
I don't think FULLTEXT does handle plurals though…
Like I said, I don't have much seat time with MySql's implementation but many others handle plurals pretty well. One easy thing to do would be externalize the search to Apache Solr -- a HTTP wrapper for lucene -- which certainly can handle plurals and all other manner of stemming depending on what stemmer you choose to configure.

this link?
It's out. I've already downloaded it:
Weird, I'm still getting this:
Tried the free version and it won't connect to PC even with the helper installed. No it's not the firewall and it won't manually connect either. Oh well glad I didn't buy it
Glad to have VLC back in the app store, but I was sad to see zero support for AC3 audio. It played my MKV files like a champ, minus the audio. Oh well, can't win them all.
Got it!
Not Available in the US yet, Just tried the link & it's not out..but then again it just CAME out so It's not like I don't have other JB players that do the same. BUT...it's nice to have options.
Forget my Last Statement it's NOW..Available on iTunes to Download.https://itunes.apple.com/app/id650377962
You can also download the Binary (and source code) direct from videolan... VideoLAN - VLC for iOS
I logged in my VPN ( so I can use American Netflix) and it allowed me to download the app. anyway hope this helps for Canadians trying to get this app.
VLC has always been open source and free. The license was pure GPL2, which does not permit any further restrictions on the distribution of a program. The Apple store is all about restrictions.
Somehow, this got dual licensed under the MPL (the Mozilla Public License), which is more forgiving.
Still, it's very limited. Doesn't understand Microsoft streams, which is a pity, because radio stations often use .asx style streams. VLC on Linux or Windows does understand these, which means it was deliberately left out. Also doesn't handle AVCHD files that work OK elsewhere in IOS.

Utah is one of 12 states awarded a national silver medal for the effectiveness of its organ donor registry.
The medal is given by Donate Life America, which evaluated registries based on measures that included how many residents and drivers are registered donors.
About 70 percent of Utahns between the ages of 18 and 72 have joined the Utah Donor Registry. Intermountain Donor Services says the success of the registry the number of people saying yes on their driver license or signing up online has a direct correlation to the number of lives saved.
The agency planned to honor the Utah Driver License Division on Wednesday, thanking staff for their work to make Utah's registry successful.
"For many people," it said in a statement, "the first time they consider organ donation is when they first receive their driver license or ID card."
