All lanes reopen on highway near train derailment
All lanes reopen on highway near train derailment
LOUISVILLE, Ky. —
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has reopened all lanes of a highway in Louisville at the site where a train derailed.
A statement from the agency says all lanes of Dixie Highway were reopened early Tuesday after work that required having lanes closed was completed.
The train derailed in the area late last month, prompting the closure of the highway. Clean-up of the area near the Hardin County line was delayed when a chemical fire broke out in one of the tankers and evacuations of the areas were ordered.
After the fire burned out, crews continued working to clear the area and had partially opened the highway.

linear hadron collider
Are we still here?
Wednesday, September 10, 2008 - 8:27am
For months an online debate has raged about whether the new Linear Hadron Collider in Switzerland would create black holes that could "destroy the earth."
Well, the LHC is now online, and apparently, it has not destroyed the earth. Either that, or we're living in an episode of Lost.

With an estimated price tag of more than $50 billion, the Sochi Games are expected to be the most expensive Winter Olympics to date. And it's not just Putin who'll pay up: For travelers, the price of attending the games is likely to be hefty. The good news: There are some (relatively good) deals to be found.
That said, "there are hoops to jump through if you want deals," says Christopher Dworin, the founder of travel site Trekkel.com. And with the games beginning in less than a month (opening ceremonies are on Feb. 7), "you better jump through those hoops very quickly," he says.
Still, Dworin points out that you can find relatively inexpensive flights, tickets and accommodations if you know where to look.
If you haven't already booked your flight, don't wait much longer, as prices will likely go up, says Mark Drusch, chief supplier relations officer at CheapOair. Warren Chang, vice president and general manager of Fly.com, says that while flights from some U.S. cities to Sochi cost $5,000 to $7,000, flights out of New York and Los Angeles can be significantly cheaper. Indeed, data from TripAdvisor Flights reveals fares in the $834-to-$972 range for economy-class roundtrip air travel from New York City to Sochi from Feb. 6 to Feb. 25; however, those returning to the U.S. on Sunday (Feb. 23) or Monday (Feb. 24) will see fares spike to more than $1,300. "If you can hold off until the following Tuesday, Feb. 25, prices begin to stabilize at around $927, or potentially go even lower, the further out you get based on current pricing," a spokesperson for TripAdvisor says.
To save extra dough, Drusch says, take a flight to Moscow (which can cost about $700 roundtrip) and then take the train to Sochi (tickets start at $60). Just be aware: It's a 26- to 32-hour ride, though special double-decker train cars were built for the Olympics.) "The fares are decent right now because it is off season, partially due to winter weather," says Drusch.
Another option may be to fly to Istanbul. "We've found that flying into Istanbul could be a cost- and time-saver, as it is 500 miles closer to Sochi than the Moscow airport and offers nonstop flights 6 days a week," says Jaime Freedman, Travelzoo's group publisher for North America. "We're seeing strong Turkey deals, and Turkish Airlines expanded into Sochi last March."
Finally, while it's a gamble, you may want to consider using airline miles, says travel consultant Ryan Lile, founder of the travel site Frequent Flyer Academy. "Airlines tend to release unsold seats into mileage award inventory as the flight date approaches," says Lile. "Check your desired flights at least once per day, and you may luck out and be able to score a business class seat using miles." He adds that Russian airline Aeroflot is one of Delta's partners and S7 is partners with American, so you can use your Delta and American miles for flights on those carriers, he says.
While many hotels in the area are pricey — "hotel rooms can cost $4,500 a night and it's common to pay $1,000 or more," says Dworin — you can find deals. While most of the four- and five-star inventory is booked up, according to Priceline.com data, there are deals on one- to three-star hotels, says Leslie Cafferty, the vice president of communication and head of editorial for Priceline.com. Three-star hotels are averaging just $130 to $230 a night.

When your nickname is "Danger" because of your irresistible charms to women, then your reputation is pretty much secured — even after death.
Ancentus Akuku, a legendary Kenyan polygamist, passed away due to natural causes; he was in his late 90s. He first married in 1939, became a polygamist at 22 and married his last wife in 1992. He had more than 100 wives, and more than 200 children, each of whom he named personally. He had so many children that he set up two schools to educate them.
(More on TIME.com: See pictures of animals in Kenya.)
During Akuku's prime, polygamy was a generally accepted practice in Kenya. Now, though, women have gained status in the country, and most say his situation would be nearly impossible in today's society. If he had been American, though, he would have instantly been given a reality show on TLC. (ABC, via Newser. Video above from NTVKenya.)

A new initiative is in the works to add a hands-on greenhouse to Addison Community Schools' science curriculum.
Science instructor Aaron Wesche presented a plan to build the structure this summer and expand the district's K-12 science program to the board of education at its meeting Monday.
The greenhouse project has been in the works for 11⁄2 years, Wesche said. A structure 18-by-36 feet in size will likely be built in the high school courtyard next to the science rooms.
With the assistance of the Addison Schools Foundation, Wesche said, he has been able to raise $13,000 of the $25,000 needed to build the greenhouse.
"The school has offered to front the (remaining) money until we are able to fundraise the rest," Wesche said Tuesday. "We have received some donations that have helped out tremendously."
Additional fundraisers are being planned, from an as yet-to-be-planned 5K run, to a "cow plop bingo" event on May 3.
"We are looking at having someone construct it for us," Wesche said. "The foundation is looking to have some of the material and labor donated."
Wesche said the initial goal is to grow plants through the process of hydroponics — using water instead of soil — and eventually expanding to raise fish as part of a larger sustainability study.
Wesche said donations can be mailed to the Addison Schools Foundation at P.O. Box 392, Addison MI 49220. Questions about the greenhouse project itself can be directed to Wesche at 547-6958 or email@example.com.
The greenhouse is one of two educational initiatives set to launch in time for the 2014-15 academic year. The school will also start an FM radio station for students to learn about communications and broadcasting. Superintendent Steve Guerra said Tuesday that materials and equipment are still being collected for the two-room radio studio.
In other business
The Addison Community Schools Board of Education at its meeting Monday also:
— Introduced and recognized its top 10 students from the graduating class of 2014. Jacob Voss is the valedictorian, and Emma Urbain is the salutatorian.
— Announced the annual Parent-Teacher Organization carnival will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Saturday, March 29. A magician is to perform at 5 and 6:30 p.m. More information can be found on the school's website at addisonschools.org.
— Heard classroom presentations from teachers Kelly Christensen, Kim Comstock and Kathee Santiago. Each instructor received a mini-grant from the Addison Schools Foundation.

CES 2010: Four overlooked tech trends from CES
Websites and cable TV channels are packed with news from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. But with thousands of exhibitors spread out through several convention halls and hotels, there are always lots of stories that go overlooked. Here are four we found especially exciting:
Energy-saving innovations: The electronics industry has come up with some entirely new products that help save energy without sacrificing convenience. One of our favorite examples is the A wireless transmitter sends sound from an MP3 player, a TV, etc., to the speakers, and a remote dims the light and controls the sound. Klipsch says the LightSpeaker's efficient LED consumes only 10 watts but puts out the same light as a 65-watt incandescent bulb. A package with two LightSpeakers, a transmitter, and a remote costs $599.
Another great green product is the Ciao, CDs: More and more consumers are using less and less "physical media" (i.e., CDs and DVDs). Instead, they're streaming their audio and video entertainment from the Internet, through home networks, or from iPods and smartphones. Many new products at CES were designed specifically to suit these trends—they don't even have CD slots. One that caught our eyes was the Pure Sensia (pictured at left), a desktop audio/video system that looks almost like a big Easter egg. Each end of the Sensia has a speaker, and touchscreen fills the middle. The $349 Sensia plays any of thousands of Internet radio stations, and also streams content from computers and hard drives that are connected to your home network. The only concession to old-fashioned media is the built-in FM tuner.
Alpine and Sony took the bold step of launching new auto sound head units that have no CD playback capability. You get your music from a docked iPhone or iPod, or from the units' AM/FM tuners.
Pencil-thin TV: TVs are rightly getting lots of attention at this year's CES, but our favorite new models—the Samsung 9000 series—got a little lost in all the hubbub about 3-D and Internet connectivity. According to Samsung, the 9000 series TVs measure only 0.3 inches thick (photo to the right courtesy of Engadget), which is about the same thickness as a pencil. An ingenious stand (which doubles as a wall mount) provides all the connections. Not only is this slim, silvery set incredibly sexy, it also includes a touchscreen remote control/video screen that lets you keep tabs on the ball game while you're watching the latest DVD. The sets are 3-D capable, so when the new 3-D Blu-ray Disc players come out later this year, you'll be ready.

Investors exiting stocks at faster clipJune 28, 2012: 4:46 PM ET
Fear about Europe's raging debt crisis and a slowing global economy kept investors fleeing for the exits.
U.S. stock mutual funds lost $1.8 billion during the week ended June 13, according to the Investment Company Institute. (Last week, investors only pulled out $620 million.) Tallying it up, that means investors have withdrawn money from the stock market for 17 of the past 18 weeks.
For the month of May, investors yanked out $9.62 billion from stock mutual funds, up from an outflow of $5.86 billion in April. That's not all that surprising, considering May was the worst month in two years for stocks. Overall, outflows for the month totaled $10.09 billion, versus inflows of $23.16 billion in April.
Interestingly, even with three straight weeks of outflows, stocks have had a pretty decent June. The S&P 500 (SPX), Nasdaq (COMP) and Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) are on track to end the month with gains of 1% or more.
But with a European summit underway, worries about Spain's and Italy's solvency front and center, and concern over Greece's efforts to renegotiate its bailout, investors will have more agita to deal with before things calm down.>
Since the beginning of the year, investors have pulled $58 billion from U.S. stock mutual funds. By comparison, these funds brought in $6.4 billion during the first five months of 2011 and lost just $18 billion during the first five months of 2010.
Meanwhile, bond mutual funds took in $4.9 billion in assets, compared with the previous week's $3.5 billion inflow.
Hybrid funds, which invest in both stocks and bonds, gained $1.2 billion during the second week of June, building on the prior week's $968 million inflow. Taking the middle road has been good for hybrid funds, which have enjoyed inflows for much of 2012.

PORT JERVIS — NJ Transit held out hope Wednesday that Metro-North's Port Jervis line commuters could see train service restored at Secaucus Junction, their gateway to Pennsylvania Station in Midtown, within days.
PORT JERVIS — NJ Transit held out hope Wednesday that Metro-North's Port Jervis line commuters could see train service restored at Secaucus Junction, their gateway to Pennsylvania Station in Midtown, within days.
"We're hearing good news from Amtrak," said NJ Transit spokeswoman Nancy Snyder.
Snyder said Amtrak, which owns Penn Station and the Northeast Corridor line and Hudson River tunnels leading to it, estimates power will be restored to a key electrical substation in Kearney, N.J., by Friday or Saturday.
"If that happens, we'll be in a position to consider stopping trains that now bypass Secaucus (en route to Hoboken), because we'll be able to operate more trains into Penn — perhaps as much as 90 percent of our service," said Snyder.
NJ Transit normally runs 63 rush-hour trains into Penn. Last week, it ran 18, and this week, 33.
The damage to the Amtrak substation, submerged in Hurricane Sandy floodwaters, has limited the amount of power available to support train service. The substation was pumped out by Nov. 6, but subsequent repairs have been complicated by a 1930s electrical system that uses 25 Hz current and can't accommodate today's common 60 Hz components.
The shuttering of Secaucus, and the suspension of PATH service at Hoboken, has meant Port Jervis line customers must transfer to buses or ferries to reach Manhattan — trips that take longer or cost more.
The Port Authority, which has restored some PATH service, estimates repairs to the Hoboken, Exchange Place and World Trade Center stations will take several more weeks.
As a result, between 300 and 400 of the Port Jervis line's usual 1,700 rush-hour riders have defected temporarily to Short Line, the commuter bus company. Others are using Metro-North's Hudson line or are driving to work or working from home.
Snyder pointed out that Port Jervis line commuters also have the option of transferring at no charge to the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail in Hoboken and taking short rides to Newport, where they can switch to PATH to 33rd Street, or to Liberty State Park, where they can take free ferries to Battery Park.

Pro Tips: Arranging Homegrown Bouquets
As gardens come into their full summer blooming glory there is such a temptation to bring that beauty inside. Roanne Robbins is one of New England's rising floristry stars and she recently shared a few tips for cutting flowers in your garden and prepping them for arrangement in the latest issue of Leaf Magazine. So once you have them cut and prepared - then what? I asked her to share a few tips with me for actually arranging them like a pro.
Control the Stems and Arrange in your Hand: Roanne's first tip was to arrange in your hand (vs. in the container). This way you can hold the flowers in just the place you want them. She also advises that it is better to make the stems all lay in the same direction. Crossing stems is less tidy and organized and by hand arranging you can control the way that the stems lay. When you are ready to finish your hand tied arrangement, you can twist them and tie them into a tidy gathering. Once you have your hand tied bunch, cut the stems all the same length and place them in the container of your choice.
Group by Color or Texture: If you have 3 of the same color dahlias from your garden, don't be afraid to put them all together rather than spreading them throughout the whole arrangement. These bold statements of color or texture make for a more visually striking arrangement.
Odd Numbers: Follow the one of the classic rules of all design....work in odd numbers. Three of something is better than four. Five is better than six (unless you make 6 into 3 clumps of 2 each). Odd numbers find a better natural balance in most designs and floristry is no different.
So, now that you have learned how and when to pick and how to condition your blooms in preparation for arrangement, you can have a hand at arranging. Feel free to share links to images of your own summer arrangements in the comments.

Why Watergate Lives On 40 Years After Nixon Resignation
Political Cynicism and Partisan Divide Took Root During Tumultuous Era
A new book by John Dean, White House counsel during the Watergate trauma, lands with a thud on your desk, and a reasonable reaction is: There is no way I'm reading 635 pages on a 40-year-old scandal.
But hold on. Dive into the story in "The Nixon Defense"—the most complete account yet of what happened in the White House after the Watergate break-in, based on the full set of secret Oval Office recordings—and its characters are as vivid, compelling and tawdry as ever....

POET and Magellan Midstream Partners L.P. announced last week that they will assess the feasibility of an ethanol pipeline that would stretch from South Dakota to New Jersey. If the companies find the pipeline to be feasible, it could be operational by as early as 2014.
This would make ethanol more geographically desirable, particularly in a heavily populated region where a lot of fuel is consumed, but also with its own share of ethanol skeptics.
Distribution through pipeline would be cheaper than train or truck, the way most ethanol is transported now. Anything that would help reduce fuel costs would be as welcome on the East Coast as anywhere else in the country. And, according to a report from the consulting firm LECG, the pipeline would help create as many as 80,000 jobs across the country if it were built. This would mean jobs in New Jersey and Pennsylvania as well as five states across the Midwest.
But, it won't be easy. The Association of Oil Pipe Lines explains why in a policy paper—it points out ethanol has an affinity for water which can be picked up as the fuel flows through a pipeline. Water contaminates ethanol and makes it unusable. Pipeline companies have reported that the presence of ethanol in pipelines has led to stress corrosion cracking.
The Department of Energy (DOE) and the Department of Transportation have been researching the impact of ethanol on pipelines. In addition, Kinder Morgan began transporting commercial batches of denatured ethanol along with gasoline in a 16-inch pipeline spanning from Tampa to Orlando. The company spent $10 million in modifying the pipeline for ethanol. This included chemically cleaning the line and replacing equipment that was incompatible with ethanol.
There is also the cost. The pipeline from South Dakota to New Jersey could cost as much as $3.5 billion. "A loan guarantee with the DOE is necessary for this project to become a reality," stated the news release from POET and Magellan. The companies added that Congress is considering amendments to the current DOE loan guarantee program to include large-scale renewable fuel pipeline projects.
Ethanol could become more geographically desirable, especially to the East Coast, but it still has miles to go.

Historical Note
Helen Mary Bradley, later Helen Bradley Lang, was born April 15, 1921, the daughter of John D. Bradley of Takoma Park, Maryland. Lang graduated from Central High School in the District of Columbia in 1930. She continued her education at the University of Maryland, majoring in business administration and economics with a specialization in accounting. After her graduation in 1934, she worked as the registrar, and as an instructor in economics at the Maryland State Teachers College in Salisbury, Maryland.
While she was at the University of Maryland, Lang excelled scholastically. She was inducted into Alpha Lambda Delta, a national freshman honor society, for her academic achievements and during her senior year the Women's Senior Honor Society at the University of Maryland awarded her with a trophy for achieving the "highest scholastic Average." Lang was involved in many extracurricular activities, including the Maryland Christian Association and the Women's Athletic Association, and was chairperson of the student commuters association, known then as the "Day Dodgers." She was a member of Phi Kappa Phi, Kappa Delta, and the National Women's Intercollegiate Championship Rifle Team, which included future Olympian Irene Knox. Lang was also a member of the University's "M" Club, whose purpose was to further athletics and good sportsmanship. In 1932, she became the first sophomore woman to receive two athletic letters, for her achievements in rifle and intramural competitions.
Little is known about Lang's life after she graduated from the University of Maryland. She worked for approximately two years at the Maryland State Teachers College before her marriage to John C. Lang. They had at least two children, John Bradley Lang and Carol Mae Lang.
Helen Bradley Lang died on March 3, 2003, in Bethesda, Maryland.

Before & After: The $300 Kitchen Makeover
This kitchen was a little too honey colored for the homeowners, but working within a small budget, something had to change without too much expense. A little creativity, gold paint and some fabric later and the results are fabulous — all for $300!
The fine folks over at One Project Closer have been busy renovating their kitchen. Their cabinet color was the easiest thing to change without having a high overhead. They set to work painting the edges which were then covered with white paint. Things were distressed to let just a little gold show through and the end result is quite beautiful.
The fabric compliments the space and helps update it without being overbearing or feeling heavy. This small budget makeover is a great reminder that you don't have to gut your space to get a big impact and can be a great way to add value to a space that might be lacking. Make sure to check out all the details if you're considering something similar.

- 1 General
- 2 Getting the source
- 3 Release Engineering
- 4 Extending CDT
- 5 Hints
- 6 More?
- Is it fun writing code for the CDT?
You betcha! And the Eclipse SDK is such a great environment to work in. We've pumped out quality code by the boat load without a lot of effort.
- Before you contribute, try reading Code like you won't be there tomorrow
Getting the source
Instructions for getting the source through CVS are 'Getting started with CDT development' and 'CDT/contributing'
Git for Committers details using git in the Eclipse development process. This document describes how to use git to maintain your own development lines and use the tools to generate patches for upstream submission.
Some of the plugins are available in public git repositories. These repos track CVS mainline and recent maintenance branches.
If you want a plugin that's not here, contact the dev-list
CDT Plugins:
Scripts for creating git repos cloned from CVS:
Release Engineering
- Where can I get the latest builds?
We have a build machine, cdt.eclipse.org, that we use for our builds. You can access them from the builds section on its home page. You can also generate your own builds by checking out the CDT out of CVS and using the Export -> Deployable Feature menu item provided by the PDE.
Extending CDT
How can I programmatically create a new CDT project?
Check out methods ResourceHelper.createCDTProject(...) in plugin org.eclipse.cdt.core.tests. The class sports a few flavors of creating CDT project.
How do I contribute Include & Library paths to a project configuration?
- externalSettingsProvider extension point
The external Settings Provider extension point can be used to register a build settings provider and have it dynamically called back at your own control. You can use this to contribute paths to your build configuration, making decisions at runtime on what should be added.
- Use the org.eclipse.cdt.core.externalSettingsProvider extension point, give it an "ID"
- Create a 'provider' element pointing at a class that extends CExternalSettingProvider
- Register the class on your CDT projects by adding your settingsProvider ID to the configuration descriptions list of settings providers:
- externalSettingsProviders = new LinkedHashSet<String>(Arrays.asList(ICConfigurationDescription.getExternalSettingsProviderIds()));
- extSettings.add(ID)
- ICConfigurationDescription.setExternalSettingsProviderIds(externalSettingsProviders.toArray(new String[0]));
- You will get a call-back on:
- public CExternalSetting[] getSettings(IProject project, ICConfigurationDescription cfgd) {
- which allows you to return appropriate macros and includes for the given configuration desc.
- CDT will cache this response, when there is a configuration change which may require a change to your settings, you should call:
- cfgd.updateExternalSettingsProviders(new String[] {ID});
Bug 222738 has an attachment with a sample plugin employing this technique. You can download it to get started.
How to add new make targets in the "Make Target" view?
Something like that could do the trick:
IMakeTargetManager manager = MakeCorePlugin.getDefault().getTargetManager(); String[] ids = manager.getTargetBuilders(project); IMakeTarget target = manager.createTarget(project, "name", ids[0]); target.setStopOnError(false); target.setRunAllBuilders(false); target.setUseDefaultBuildCmd(true); target.setBuildAttribute(IMakeCommonBuildInfo.BUILD_COMMAND, "make"); target.setBuildAttribute(IMakeTarget.BUILD_LOCATION, "/build/location"); target.setBuildAttribute(IMakeTarget.BUILD_ARGUMENTS, "args"); target.setBuildAttribute(IMakeTarget.BUILD_TARGET, "target"); manager.addTarget(container, target);
container here is a subfolder in the project where you wish to place the target.
Writing to a Console in Eclipse
see solution based on MessageConsole
Am I headless?
See solution based on Platform & PlatformUI
- Can I find a method declare when my mouse point to a method for the CDT?
If you have a method selected in the Editor, pressing F3 will take you to the declaration (i.e. the prototype) and Ctrl-F3 with take you to the definition (i.e. the body). Both options are also available from the Context menu.
- Converting between Reader and Streams
BufferedInputStream bis=new BufferedInputStream(url1.openStream()); BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url1.openStream()));
Many more questions are answered in the "Working on the CDT" section of the general CDT FAQ.

Those who do not receive an email and are concerned that their information may have been included are encouraged to contact the call center. Callers will then be able to find out if their information was housed on the affected server.
On February 7, the NDUS discovered suspicious activity on a server. Unfortunately, the impacted server housed personal information, such as names and Social Security numbers, for more than 290,000 current and former students and about 780 faculty and staff. The server was immediately locked down. The internal investigation, as well as an external forensic team, found no evidence that any personal information was accessed, copied, transmitted or printed. However, NDUS is offering identity protection services to those whose information was housed on the server as an extra precaution.
"Thankfully, there is no evidence that the attacker accessed the personal information housed on this server," said Interim Chancellor Larry C. Skogen. "We do understand, however, that incidents like this can be distressing, so we've taken the extra step of offering identity protection services for the next year to all those affected."
Those affected are automatically enrolled in the AllClear Secure identity protection program for the next 12 months. If a problem arises for any reason, an individual can simply call (855) 711-5990 and a dedicated investigator will do the work to recover financial losses, restore credit and make sure their identity is returned to its proper condition. AllClear ID maintains an A+ rating at the Better Business Bureau.

Old people are making music again; it is a time to rejoice. Bowie's back, My Bloody Valentine have released a new album, The Who are back on the road playing Quadrophenia. This means that being an old music fan, or someone who feels old, or even in my case - a critic who is beginning to reach his untimely end, waiting for the crooked end of the umbrella to yank my pigeon neck away from the dimly lit laptop and back into the crushing reality of workaday normality. In light of the warm response shown towards the returning old guard there is still hope for relevance for us all.
I've tried to feel young in the last six months, pal around with folk younger than me, drink from their necks like a sucking sub-cultural vampire and take their evil drugs. Despite there being times when it seemed their ways were a little too hard for me to process, I have adapted, and to a certain extent made it to the other side. Though a fondness remains for my own halcyon days, and the years that went before, the cassettes that would get eaten up in the tape deck, the CDs that would get scratched, the imperfect sound of faulty technology; I can't help but feel that the youth of today will not experience the damage of something physical.
This is the past revisited, a flick book of electronic studio fiddling. 2013 is the year of the comeback, and for Justin Velor it is the sounds of a million different influences threading together to make a patchwork trampoline. Bits and pieces, bits and bobs, put them all together and what have you got?
Dom Thomas, the man behind the name Velor, seems like one of these collector types - he has DJ'd around like a jet lagged Phileas Fogg and picked up numerous ideas. A man with many ideas is a fool unless he is able to turn them into something. On 2013, Thomas has temporarily sidestepped this proclamation and cordially invited collaboration and connection.
We open with the ominous, a chanting discord that builds, it sounds like the grey beginning to a bunch of Ballard reading boys who are looking to startle us with their tales of alienation and nihilism by playing us jangly post-punk. Instead we get on down, 'Galliano Rocks' is a dirty house stomper that tacks together North African percussion, ecstasy and whatever else was won at the auction.
'Flameout' is minimalist Germanic electro, tinny, like raindrops hitting a wheelie bin or should that be raindrops heavy enough to lightly hit a synthesizer and make a sound which makes nothing sound like everything. On the journey goes, and 'Energiser' picks up the pace (at the time of writing this, now five listens in, I now get that there might be the slight stitch of a pattern emerging here). Thomas hasn't just chucked it all together. This is laborious, an attention to detail, an attempt to make each sound matter. I love it when a track peters out, and there is a bit towards the tail of 'Energiser' where only the sparrow's skeleton remains and I find my hand is still tapping the desk.
Graham Massey, him from 808 State, worked on 2013 with Velor, and you can certainly trace the lineage back to 808's seminal Newbuild. Yet there is more to the album than trad house, and when Thomas indulges us with poppy folk and extravagant experimental compositions that verge on doom synth exercises into soul extraction, it feels like he is acknowledging the limitation of the house blueprint, and that even hedonism has its drawbacks.
2013 is laced with Balearic beats, Detroit rhythms, and postcards from other drawing pins marked out on the map. The Justin Velor moniker is a useful umbrella for this collection of ideas to bubble under, yet all I can feel about this album is a sense of ambivalence. The culpability of the creator lies in the sense that sometimes your influences drown your own innovation; it is therefore up to you to bring something. The question remains – what does he bring? I can't help but feel this is one of those albums that will be a gift to other artists. Take me, remix me, sample me, break me apart.

Danbury fends off Stamford for return trip to FCIAC finals
FAIRFIELD -- Stamford High fought back and overcame an early 10-point deficit to grab the lead over Danbury in Tuesday's league semifinal. Problem was, however, when playing the state's No. 1 team -- the one with "the two best guards in the state" -- you can only overcome so much.
With senior twins Rachel and Rebecca Gartner leading the way as usual, two-time defending FCIAC champion Danbury advanced to the title game with a 45-33 victory over the Black Knights at Fairfield Ludlowe High.
"They are the two best guards in the state and they showed that tonight," Danbury coach Jackie DiNardo said after her top-seeded team earned a berth against No. 2 Wilton in Thursday's 7 p.m. final at Ludlowe. "They get the job done. I'm so sad they're leaving."
Rachel Gartner led all scorers with 20 points and added seven steals and four assists. Point guard Rachel Gartner only scored five points but had seven assists and six steals as the Hatters (21-1) won their 20th in a row.
The Gartners looked determined to go out with a bang as the Hatters jumped to a 10-0 lead five minutes into the game. But Stamford, which lost a 40-27 decision at Danbury on Jan. 17, snapped out of its funk to take a 16-15 lead. The Knights were still within five with three minutes remaining in the game.
"The bad start was a lot of nerves, the girls were terrified," Stamford coach Diane Burns said.
"I don't know why they were like that; this is the third year in a row we are here (in the semifinals). Then our nerves disappeared for a while and we looked good, but not for long enough."
Stamford (17-5), led by Tiana England's 12 points and eight rebounds from Briana Gordon, managed to stay with the Hatters by forcing 22 turnovers.
"Stamford's defense got them back in it," Boston College-bound Rachel Gartner said. "They really came after us. So I just told my teammates to come to the ball instead of waiting for it to come to them and we started moving better."
"Stamford came back but honestly, I didn't expect anything less from them," DiNardo added.
In the end, the Hatters had too much. Besides the Gartners, Allie Smith had 14 points and eight rebounds, Kayla Handberry had nine rebounds and Shannon Geary had eight boards.
"The Gartners are terrific," Burns said. "We had them frustrated for a while but they fight through everything."
The Hatters did a great bottling up Stamford's talented center Kelsey Santagata (nine points, five rebounds, four steals) and ended the game the way they started. They outscored the Knights 8-1 in the final three minutes to advance to Thursday's final against the one team that the beat them this year, in the second game of the season on Dec. 13.
"We're really looking forward to playing Wilton again," Rachel Gartner said. "We're better now than when we started."
Maxine Fodiman 0 0-0 0; Brianna Gordon 3 0-3 6; Kelsey Santagata 4 1-2 9; Tiana England 5 0-0 12; Anisa Fortt 2 2-2 6; Camry Evans 0 0-0 0; Mackenzie Brown 0 0-0 0. Totals: 14-52 3-7 33
Rachel Gartner 8 2-2 20; Shannon Geary 1 2-7 4; Rebecca Gartner 2 0-0 5; Allie Smith 6 2-3 14; Kayla Handberry 0 2-2 2. Totals: 17-40 8-14 45

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
This mission starts out extremely quickly. As soon as you arrive at Jimmy's place in Alderney, in the industrial area of the borough, he'll speak to you very briefly before jumping into one of his cars (which you will drive). He then orders you to a location nearby, on Argus Street, where someone named Chubby Charlie (an enemy of Jimmy's) is located. He gives you two options -- busting through the front doors, or sneaking in via the basement. What you do is up to you. Keep in mind that this walkthrough, however, follows the latter route, through the basement.
Head to the back end of the building (easily accessible via the fenced off alleyway adjacent to the abandoned factory) and access the basement via the sloping pathway as seen in the introductory sequence. Then, look for a hole in the wall on your left that will give you access to a pathway that leads to the building's true basement. As long as you don't come in here with guns blazing, you can actually pull out your sniper rifle (if you have one) and kill one of the two guards waiting near the staircase above. When you pull the trigger, the other enemy will be alerted to your presence, so toggle to a different weapon and take the second enemy out before he can make too much of a fuss. Then, climb the nearby debris to reach the staircase the two now-deceased enemies were so stoically guarding.

Predators use big first period to stun Ducksby Curtis Zupke
ANAHEIM -- It took fewer than 18 minutes for the Anaheim Ducks to have a full-blown goalie controversy on their hands.
After three games off to get some rest, Anaheim goalie Jonas Hiller allowed four goals on nine shots and was briefly replaced by Frederik Andersen in a 5-2 loss to the Nashville Predators on Friday night at Honda Center.
The drama turned serious when Hiller went back in net to start the third period because of Andersen had what the team termed an upper-body injury. Coach Bruce Boudreau said Andersen had "a little bit of a headache" from a shot by Nashville defenseman Shea Weber and that "I think he's going to be fine."
Boudreau acknowledged concern about Hiller's play but also placed fault on his defense. The Ducks have five games remaining, beginning Sunday on the road against the Edmonton Oilers, to figure out their goalie for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
"Right now it's hard to determine," Boudreau said. "We've got five more games. Let's say how everything [plays] out. [It's] a lot like baseball -- who the opposition is going to be and what the records of the goalies are against them. How they're playing going into the playoffs is obviously going to be a factor but, I mean, it's too early to tell."
The Ducks came back from 4-0 and 2-0 deficits against the Winnipeg Jets and Edmonton Oilers, respectively, to win their previous two games, but could not rally for another come-from-behind victory. At 50-19-8, the Ducks lead the San Jose Sharks by one point in the race for first place in the Pacific Division; Anaheim also has a game in hand but it won't matter if the Ducks keep falling behind.
"We can't let this happen," Boudreau said." We have to find a way. Sometimes, for one reason or another, we're not getting the job done early. We're a really good team with the lead, but we just haven't had the lead lately."
Nashville goalie Pekka Rinne tied Tomas Vokoun for the franchise record with 161 wins. Mike Fisher and Colin Wilson each scored two goals and Matt Cullen had three assists for the Predators, who are holding on to slim hopes of making the playoffs.
"I knew it was close but I didn't realize that it's this one," Rinne said of the team record. "He's obviously a really good goalie. He was one of their franchise players when the team came into Nashville. He had a successful career in Nashville. It's obviously a nice accomplishment, but hopefully there's plenty more to come.
"Since my comeback [from a hip injury], there's been ups and downs and I haven't really found a solid consistency. I think that's the one thing: I just want to feel comfortable and feel confident on the ice and just feel like I'm on the right track. That's my goal for these last few games."
Hiller wasn't available after the game. Boudreau said he looked "very sharp" in two prior days of practice and that they needed a big game from him, but Hiller was shaky from the start and wasn't aided by his defense. Andersen went 3-0-0 during Hiller's break and, at 19-5-0 on the season, can make a case to be No. 1.
A combination of Hiller's inability to cover the post and poor defensive coverage in front of him resulted in a 4-1 lead for Nashville 17:05 into the game.
Wilson drove three-quarters the length of the ice and scored on a second whack at the puck at 5:36 of the first period, then was open to knock in a loose puck from the goalmouth at 12:41. Consecutive goals from behind the net by Fisher at 13:52 and Patric Hornqvist at 17:05 forced Boudreau to remove Hiller for Andersen as the crowd cheered.
Boudreau said he hoped the fans were voicing their opinion for the team, and Ducks defenseman Francois Beauchemin, who was minus-4 on the night, said the defense let Hiller down.
"That's how it's been the last few games - we haven't been good defensively and that's one aspect of our game that we have to get better at for the playoffs," Beauchemin said. "I don't have an [explanation]. Every single guy has got to be sharp mentally and make those mistakes. We all know what we have to do."
Beauchemin and Stephane Robidas were on the ice for three of Nashville's first four goals. Kyle Palmieri's goal at 15:00 salvaged a disconcerting first 20 minutes for Anaheim.
Daniel Winnik banged the puck into the net off Rickard Rakell's try at 3:18 of the second period to make it 4-2, but Fisher restored Nashville's three-goal lead with a tap-in goal at 16:00 after Andersen had a shot trickle through his legs.
Anaheim had two goals disallowed late in the second. Nashville held it two shots on goal in the first 13 minutes of the third. The Ducks actually had energy in the first five minutes but Nashville worked through it.
"They just played hard," Nashville coach Barry Trotz said. "We looked a little rusty in the first five minutes and there were some dangerous pucks bouncing around in front of Pekka. He was really sharp. Wilson had some great shifts and he got us rolling in the right way."
It was Fisher's first multiple-goal game since Dec. 28. Wilson's goals were his second and third in 2014.
Nashville is 4-1-1 in its past six games in Anaheim and has 40 points in 38 road games this season.
