Death From Above: Ohio (The Ohio University of Ohio in Ohio)
|Michigan vs Ohio
Bridgestone Arena
Nashville, Tennessee
7:20 PM Eastern
Friday, March 16
|M –5 (Kenpom)
|TNT, NCAA.com
"Who are you guys playing in the NCAA tournament?"
"Tough draw."
"No, I mean Ohio Ohio. You know, the Bobcats, from the MAC."
I'm not saying Michigan dodged a bullet or anything when they slid down to a four-seed, but they dodged a bullet when they slid down to a four-seed. The three seed in the Midwest region, Georgetown, drew KenPom's #23-ranked team, trendy upset pick Belmont. By falling one seed line, Michigan will play their first-round game against #72 Ohio, easing fears of a first-round* upset while simultaneously filling my Twitter timeline with approximately 4,327 terrible Brady Hoke jokes.
Sure, man. Do your thing.
The Bobcats have a pretty balanced offense; eight players average at least 30% of available minutes and six break the 20% usage mark. The go-to guy is 5'11" junior point guard D.J. Cooper, who has the 17th-best assist rate in the country, an average turnover rate (not bad considering his high usage), and some ugly shooting numbers: 39% on twos and 31% on threes. Cooper does get to the line fairly often and hits at 74% from the stripe; the obvious key here is to keep him on the outside shooting jumpers. He appears willing to pull from just about anywhere, and that's perfectly fine if you're Michigan.
6'8", 263-pound center Reggie Keely comes off the bench, but he plays a little over half the team's minutes and is a high-usage guy when he's out there. Keely does most of his work on the offensive boards, where he reels in 12.1% of misses, and he gets to the line with regularity, drawing 4.8 fouls per 40 minutes. Keely isn't an outstanding shooter, connecting on 53% of his twos and 67% of his free throws, and he turns it over with regularity, but Jordan Morgan will have to make sure to keep him off the offensive glass while staying out of foul trouble.
Continuing the trend of guys who get to the line often is 6'3" wing Walter Offutt, who also draws 4.8 fouls/40 minutes but isn't very remarkable in any other statistical category. Offutt hits 35% of his three-pointers while shooting 49% from inside the arc, making him one of the more efficient scorers on the team.
The other two main contributors are a high-usage guy with a terrible ORtg—6'8" forward Ivo Baltic, a strong defensive rebounder who can't shoot free throws and hits under 50% of his twos—and a low-usage guy with a great ORtg in guard Nick Kellogg, a 42% three-point shooter whose statistical profile suggests he's a (very effective) spot-up shooter and not much else. I'm guessing Kellogg draws Hardaway when Michigan is on defense, assuming that Burke and Douglass take the two guards who dominate the ball more, and THJ had better do a good job of closing out.
The rest of the rotation is, well, there. 6'7" forward Jon Smith barely touches the ball while starting and playing nearly half the team's minutes, but he is a plus offensive rebounder and boasts an impressive 8.2 block percentage. Tiny freshman backup point guard Stevie Taylor is nearly as bad a shooter as Cooper and doesn't have the gaudy assist numbers to salvage his efficiency. 6'6" sophomore T.J. Hall actually is a worse shooter than Cooper. I can't find anything worth noting about Ohio's other two bench players save the fact that one is named TyQuane Goard.
*I refuse to use the NCAA nomenclature in which the Thursday/Friday games are "second round" games and Saturday/Sunday marks the "third round." This is stupid. Play-in games are play-in games. GET OFF MY LAWN.
Ohio's resume is severely lacking in the signature win department despite the Bobcats finishing 27-7: according to KenPom, their best victory is a two-point road win against #74 Marshall back in November. Their only other wins over top-100 KenPom teams came in the form of a 17-point road win over #95 Northern Iowa and two defeats of #79 Akron (one a home blowout and the other a one-point squeaker in the MAC title game; the Bobcats also lost by five to the Zips on the road). They do have a victory against the one common opponent shared with Michigan, a two-point win at Oakland, whom the Wolverines beat by ten at the Palace.
The Bobcats lost their only game against a powerhouse program, though falling short by five at #20 Louisville is actually rather impressive. Other losses are the aforementioned Akron road game, a three-point home loss to #141 Robert Morris, and road losses to #123 Bowling Green, #200 Toledo, #279 Eastern Michigan, and #122 Kent State.
Four factors:
|Offense (Rk)
|Defense (Rk)
|Effective FG%:
|49.0 171
|47.2 94
|Turnover %:
|19.7 141
|26.7 2
|Off. Reb. %:
|35.2 64
|33.9 246
|36.6 168
|43.5 301
The Bobcat offense relies largely on their solid offensive rebounding to make up for the fact that only one player can really shoot. Just over 38% of the team's shots come from beyond the arc, a distribution which shouldn't cause problems as long as Cooper and Offutt are the ones shooting and not Kellogg.
Defensively, Ohio plays a high-pressure man-to-man look, going all-out for turnovers. While they've amassed the fourth-best steal rate and second overall turnover % in the country, the Bobcats foul a lot in order to do so—opposing teams produce just under a quarter of their points against Ohio from the free-throw line. They do defend the three rather well, sitting at 19th in the country in opponent 3P% (30.3).
Make sure Trey Burke doesn't play 45 minutes the night before the game. Check.
Make sure Trey Burke can play 45 minutes if necessary. This is not a concern about his gas tank as much as it is D.J. Cooper. Namely, D.J. Cooper's ability to draw an absurd 5.6 fouls per 40 minutes. Burke will guard Cooper, and it's obviously obvious that Michigan needs Burke to not foul that much. He's done a great job this season of avoiding foul issues, and if things get hairy Beilein should be able to switch Douglass onto Cooper without creating a major matchup problem elsewhere, but I'd rather not spend large portions of the game tearing my hair out because Beilein refuses to leave anyone in the game who can remotely be described as being in foul trouble.
Okay, now work the pick-and-roll. An aggressive man defense like Ohio's means Michigan isn't going to create open jumpers simply by working the ball around the perimeter, so successfully taking advantage of defensive pressure via the screen is imperative. We'll see if the Bobcats comes out and hedge hard—I'd guess yes—and if they do, Jordan Morgan could be the key to this game. Ohio only has one decent shot-blocking presence and he's 6'7", 190 pounds; let Morgan slip the pick and see if anyone can stop him on the roll.
Good Hardaway. Please show up. Ohio's main perimeter players all check in at 6'3" or shorter, meaning Timmy should be able to shoot/jump right over these guys. The problem will be the temptation to shoot over them while standing still 25 feet away from the basket. With Ohio's propensity for steals and Hardaway's tendency to cough the ball up in traffic, it would be best if Michigan tried to work him off the ball and free him up that way instead of letting him try to create on his own.
Let Ohio's chuckers chuck. As long as it isn't coming from right next to the basket, any D.J. Cooper shot seems like a good one for Michigan. Offutt isn't a whole lot more efficient while the backup guards are simply not good at putting the ball through the basket. Meanwhile, Kellogg is rather deadly from beyond the arc and the Bobcats crash the boards well. The Wolverines would be best served denying Kellogg the ball while sagging off the other shooters, encouraging Ohio to settle for shooting from deep—Cooper seems to have no issue with that—and making sure they don't get killed on the glass.
Michigan by five.

When LG leaked their dual-core phone we knew Motorola would do the same too and that's just what happened this morning. A tipster just sent pics of a new Motorola phone to Gizmodo and while the site isn't too sure what phone it is, I can tell you this is the Olympus aka Terminator.
At first we thought the Olympus was a Verizon exclusive, but it turns out that it is coming to multiple carriers and AT&T will actually launch the phone first around the last week of January. The Motorola Olympus is rumored to feature NVIDIA's dual-core Tegra 2 processor, a 4.1-inch display, 8 megapixel camera with 1080p video record, front-facing camera, HDMI out, and is currently running Android 2.2 with Motoblur.
We all know that Gingerbread is around the corner so hopefully Motorola updates this phone to Android 2.3, but we aren't too sure of that given the company's history of shipping Android phones with an outdated OS.
Now that we have seen all the upcoming dual-core phones, which one do you want the most? The Samsung Nexus S, the LG Star, or the Motorola Olympus?

NEWNAN, Ga. (AP) - A woman and four young children died early Saturday in a fire that engulfed a home about 30 miles southwest of Atlanta. Authorities were alerted to the fire at the single-story home in Newnan at 1:17 a.m. Saturday, said Glenn Allen, spokesman for state Insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens.
He said the fire was ruled accidental and appeared to have originated in an electrical panel in the home's den area.
Allen said the fire killed Alonna T. McCrary, 27, as well as her 5-year-old daughter Eriel McCrary and 2-year-old daughter Nikia White.
Two other children - Messiah White, 3, and McKenzie Florence, 2 - also died. Allen said the two were sleeping over at the home. A fifth child, 11-year-old Nautica McCrary, escaped the burning home and was taken to a hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation.
Newnan police Chief Buster Meadows said the older girl's mother was able to get her safely out of the house but died trying to save the remaining children.
"The mother woke her up and told her to run," Meadows said. "There was someone outside who she ran to, and the mother went back after the others. Neither her nor the other four children made it out."
By the time firefighters arrived, Meadows said, the house was completely engulfed in flames. "It's just a tragedy that's affected that whole neighborhood over there," the police chief said. "And it's affected the police and fire personnel also." Allen said firefighters found remains of a smoke detector inside the home.

|Schizophrenia Clozapine Hypersalivation Traditional Chinese Medicine
|Drug: Suo Quan Wan, Wu Lin San Drug: Placebo
|Phase 2
Clozapine, an antipsychotic drug, is an important clinical medicine which is used for schizophrenia and preventing for its relapse; clozapine is better than some other atypical antipsychotics. However, in clinical uses, clozapine often could induce hypersalivation, it is not only influencing patient's appearance, also deteriorating sleeping quality which could deter patient discontinuing to take medicine.
In previous researches, Suo Quan Wan and Wu Lin San had been proven effective for hypersalivation and no significant side-effects, nevertheless, it still lack of systematical scientific trial reports. The ingredients of Suo Quan Wan are Wu Yao, San Yao and Yi Zhi Ren; the ingredients of Wu Lin San are Gui Zhi, Fu Ling, Zhu Ling, Ze Xie and Bai Ju, both have bi-directional regulatory functions for body fluid and saliva.
The goal of this research is hoping to combine traditional Chinese medicine medication and find out how to solve clozapine-induced hypersalivation, also reduce side-effect, medication compliance, improving life quality, improving social-function and reducing neopathy.

Annie's Nursery Grows Up
Name: Annie
Location: Guilford, CT
We just turned Annie's nursery into a "big girl room" for her second birthday. The biggest change was getting rid of Annie's beloved Argington crib and replacing it with a real bed (thanks to AT readers for all of the suggestions about how to hack the crib mattress/big kid bed combo).
I really wanted Annie's room to be full of color, art, and things that make her happy, but I also wanted to avoid having it be cluttered or too girly. I love the result.

The New American
Thursday, March 15, 2012
March 16 is the birthday of James Madison, known as the "Father of the Constitution." Several years ago, the American Society of News Editors initiated a program calledSunshine Week, intended to coincide with the birthday of this illustrious Founding Father. The purpose of Sunshine Week was "to educate the public about the importance of open government and the dangers of excessive and unnecessary secrecy."
Despite the forecasted clear skies, there are clouds looming on the horizon. Not surprisingly, the clouds are blowing in from the White House. Despite promises from President Obama that his election had ushered in "a new era of open government," especially regarding its response to the Freedom of Information Act, the behavior of one of his bureaucrats belies this boast.
In testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, Justice Department Director of the Office of Information Policy, Melanie Ann Pustay (pictured above), called on Congress to weaken the Freedom of Information of Act [FOIA] and strengthen the ability of the federal government to prevent the disclosure of documents deemed critical to the safety of the nation's cybersecurity and infrastructure.
Regarding the appearance of Putsay before the committee of which he is the ranking member, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said:
Based on my experience in trying to pry information out of the executive branch, I'm disappointed to report that agencies under the control of President Obama's political appointees have been more aggressive than ever in withholding information from the public and from Congress. There's a complete disconnect between the President's grand pronouncements about transparency and the actions of his political appointees.
What prompted the Justice Department to recur to Congress for greater cover for their now-secret activities? Consider this explanation given in the statement read by Putsay at the Judiciary Committee's hearing:
In Fiscal Year 2011, agencies were faced with an increase in the number of incoming FOIA requests, which rose from 597,415 in Fiscal Year 2010 to 644,165 in Fiscal Year 2011. Notably, the Department of Homeland Security experienced a 35% increase in the number of incoming requests.
A fair reading of that remark reveals that the federal government is fearful of the increased scrutiny its activities are receiving on the part of the public. If concerned citizens have their way, Sunshine Week would become Sunshine Year.
For now, the Supreme Court has sided with the public, granting greater access to documents and data sought so that the light of inquiry might be shone into the shadowy recesses of government programs.
Under provisions of the FOIA, anyone may compel agencies of the government to surrender copies of federal records. According to applicable exceptions to the law, a petitioner is entitled to receive the requested documents unless the disclosure would demonstrably negatively impact national security, violate personal privacy, or unnecessarily reveal business secrets or other confidential decision-making considerations.
Aware of the recent Supreme Court decision in the case of Milner v. Department of the Navy, that upheld these few exceptions, Putsay insists that the Congress must expand the shield of secrecy in order to "protect the vital interests that have been left exposed by the Supreme Court's Milner opinion."
In an 8-1 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that U.S.C. Section 552(b)(2)(Exemption 2) must be construed very narrowly so as not to prevent access to the so-called "High 2" category of information that relates to infrastructure data and practices.
Putsay, speaking for the Obama Administration, wants to prevent the public from requesting any information relevant to the High 2 category.
Said Putsay:
For three decades, agencies had protected under "High 2" homeland-security and critical infrastructure information, law enforcement procedures, audit criteria, and other information that, if disclosed, would risk circumvention of the law. Although it limited the scope of Exemption 2 to matters related solely to internal personnel rules and practices, the Supreme Court was sympathetic to the policy concerns raised by the government concerning the need to protect information when its disclosure risked harm. The Supreme Court stated that it "recognize[d] the strength" of the Department of the Navy's interest in the case before it to "safely and securely store military ordinance." Indeed, the Court went on to note that "[c]oncerns of this kind—a sense that certain sensitive information should be exempt from disclosure—in part led the Crooker court to formulate the High 2 standard." The Court acknowledged that it might be necessary for the Government to "seek relief from Congress."
In order to put in context the Obama Administration's effort to seed the clouds of secrecy during Sunshine Week, a bit of background on the Milner case is appropriate.
Glen Scott Milner is a retired electrician living near Indian Island, Washington. On this small island, the United States Navy maintains a magazine in which are stored non-nuclear explosives. Twice between 2003 and 2004, Milner filed two Freedom of Information Act petitions, asking the Navy to demonstrate that the ordnance kept on Indian Island was within the legal requirements of Explosive Safety Quantity Distance (ESQD). Milner was afraid that he and his neighbors were in danger of being harmed should any of this ordnance explode.
In response to Milner's request, the Navy handed over most of the documents that Milner sought, but noticeably withheld was the ESQD information that was Milner's primary concern. The Navy defended its denial by asserting that the ESQD details could threaten the security of the depot, as well as that of the neighboring community. Specifically, the Navy claimed that the documents were exempt from disclosure under the aforementioned Exemption 2 of U.S.C. Section 552(b)(2).
The core of the question of the proper interpretation of the FOIA that faced the Supreme Court in the Milner case is described ably in an article published by Cornell Law School:
Some courts have interpreted Exemption 2 to cover two types of information: (i) "Low 2" information, which consists of relatively trivial internal matters and (ii) "High 2" information, which is considered more substantial and the disclosure of which would "risk circumvention of a legal requirement." The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held that the requested information was exempt from disclosure under the High 2 interpretation of Exemption 2. Milner argues that the High 2 Exemption is not supported by the plain text of the statute or its legislative history, and that the Navy must disclose the information. In contrast, the Navy argues that High 2 correctly expresses Congress's intentions in creating Exemption 2. This decision will determine the scope of agency disclosure in response to the public requests for information pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act.
Speaking for the majority, Justice Elena Kagan wrote that "because Exemption 2 encompasses only records relating to employee relations and human resources issues, the explosives maps and data requested here do not qualify for withholding under that exemption."
While such distinctions as "High 1," High 2," and "Exemption 2" may sound a little too much like baseball jargon, the ordinary truth of the matter is that by promoting the bifurcation of the FOIA's Exemption 2 into the High 1 and High 2 categories, the Obama Administration is trying to drape camouflage over its activities, even when, as in the case of Milner, these activities might pose a potential mortal threat to the safety of citizens.
Don't be put off by the terminology. This sort of obfuscation is an example of an attempt by agents of the federal government to muddy the clear waters of liberty with words and arguments intended to deprive the people of the right to monitor the government they created.

A council has cooked up a scheme to improve the kitchens at two Dales schools.
Brassington Primary and Grindleford Primary are among a number of schools receiving their share of £164,000 of funding from Derbyshire County Council to update their catering facilities.
The authority had set aside £50,000to fully refurbish the kitchen at Brassington Primary School including new storage and electrical equipment and £18,000 to pay for improved layout and upgrades.
Cabinet member for children and young people Councillor Kevin Gillott said: "We're facing the biggest squeeze on our budgets we've ever known but we are committed to helping our schools offer pupils the best facilities they can.
"The unprecedented cuts we're facing means money is tight, but we recognise it is important children get a good meal at lunchtime and I am pleased to be able to help improve the kitchens at these schools to help them provide that."
The authority has funded the latest improvement schemes from a £ contingency fund available due to managing its budget.

This summer and fall, American Zen communities have been abuzz with talk of Eido Shimano, the abbot of the New York Zen Studies Society, whose record of sexual transgressions spans more than 45 years. The buzz was loud enough to attract the mainstream media; on August 20, The New York Times ran a substantial article on Shimano's sexual misconduct and the widespread suffering that follows in its wake.
Yet Eido was not a charlatan. Like many spiritual teachers who sexually transgress, he offered his students a great deal of genuine wisdom and useful guidance. This fact can seem counterintuitive, illogical, bewildering, and even tragic—yet spiritual teachers have proven it true for many centuries. We students ask ourselves, over and over: How can a spiritual teacher be so wise and yet so foolish, so generous and yet so acquisitive, and so loving and yet so self-centered?
If we are serious about making our spiritual relationships and communities safer, we need to stop looking for satisfying explanations to this question. We would be wiser to instead accept and deal with the reality behind it. Whether we like it or not, many spiritual teachers are both wise and foolish; many are both generous and acquisitive; many are both loving and self-centered. In fact, a small number of exceptionally insightful and inspiring spiritual teachers have been sociopaths, clinical narcissists, and/or sex addicts.
Our failure to see and accept this is our limitation, our delusion—and the more we continue to live by it, the more we enable exploitation and abuse.
We need to accept—in our hearts, minds, and guts—these painful but essential truths:
Spiritual teachers—no matter how enlightened (or deluded)—are human beings, with the same physical, mental, and emotional equipment as the rest of us. Indeed, if they weren't, how could we possibly follow in their footsteps and what could they really teach us? When we accept that our teachers are fundamentally just like us, we give ourselves a huge gift: we accept in ourselves the potential to embody the same wisdom, compassion, and spirit of service that we value in them.
Spiritual teachers—no matter how enlightened—make some mistakes and misjudgments. From the viewpoint of The Absolute, we can say that there are no accidents, or that the very concept of "mistake" is a mental construct. Fair enough. But on the relative level—the level on which it's true to say "Look both ways before crossing the street or you might get run over"—spiritual teachers can and do err.
Spiritual teachers are susceptible to temptation, sexual and otherwise. Many can resist it far better, and for far longer, than most of us—and many are able to see it coming well in advance. But spiritual teachers are also exposed to far greater—and far more frequent—temptations than most of us.
Many spiritual teachers are sexy. Some are extremely sexy. The same is true of some of their students. This is an essential—if obvious—part of the mix, yet few discussions of the topic acknowledge it.
One way to look at—and accept—spiritual teachers' often-contradictory natures is to understand that they simply reflect the nature of the human heart, which often operates in utterly contradictory ways. Think of the tough-as-nails corporate raider who melts in the presence of a friendly animal, or the social worker who selflessly supports and fights for their clients, but neglects their own family. Spiritual teachers are no different, for they are human beings with human hearts. We are no different, either, and need to accept these same contradictions in ourselves. Indeed, often our inability to accept fundamental contradictions in others stems from our unwillingness to accept those same kinds of contradictions in our own hearts, minds, and guts.
It's also true that each of us develops along multiple lines—and this development is never equal along all lines. Some of us develop great intellectual powers but little intuition. Some become geniuses in music or art or math or basketball, but can't write a cogent paragraph. Some can give rousing and mesmerizing speeches but are inept at small talk. Some have huge, open hearts, but no clue as to how to run a PowerPoint slide show—or, for that matter, a spiritual institution. And some can have great insight into the nature of existence, yet may be short on empathy, common sense, basic social skills, or the ability to clearly envision the potential consequences of their actions.
Nevertheless, some of us imagine that our spiritual teachers are less complex or more consistent than other folks. Some of us even imagine that our teachers are more (or better) than human.
We need to stop imagining all of this, because these delusions get us into big trouble. They also harm our spiritual teachers, by encouraging them to join us in those delusions.
Some of us also believe that spiritual insight can somehow prevent or cure all psychological (and even physical) ills, including those that have neurological or biological roots. In real life, though, spiritual teachers can and do experience addictions, mental illnesses, personality disorders, Alzheimer's, dementia, ulcers, cancer, and pretty much everything else. Furthermore, spiritual insight does not somehow destroy all of a teacher's neuroses, moral blind spots, goofy ideas, and difficult temptations. (However, the wisest teachers have relatively few of these, are aware of most of the ones they do have, freely admit to them, and take care to adjust for them as necessary.)
Hard as it is for some of us to admit that our teachers have normal human limitations, it's harder still to accept that they may have addictions, compulsions, depression, or stress-related illnesses. Yet it's essential that we (and our teachers) do admit it. Otherwise, we are in denial, and we become enablers, part of sick teachers' addictive systems.
We would be wise to observe what a teacher says and does over a long period of time—months or years—and ask ourselves this essential question: Does their behavior follow and uphold the essential principles of human connection, compassion, and service? And if anything the teacher does seems amiss, we can also ask: Would I accept these actions from my doctor or dry cleaner? Would the police and courts accept them from my doctor or dry cleaner?
If we don't scrutinize what a teacher says and does, or if we fail to exercise our own good judgment, we don't just harm ourselves; we also harm the teacher, by encouraging their arrogance, narcissism, or delusion. As John Kain writes in A Rare and Precious Thing: The Possibilities and Pitfalls of Working with a Spiritual Teacher, "Being in the teacher role is a powerful position, and, like heroin, such power can be addictive. As students, we often fuel this addiction by giving over our power to the teacher; we become enablers, co-conspirators." Perhaps most tragic of all, we may deprive ourselves of the wisdom, guidance, and spiritual intimacy that an authentic, loving teacher can offer us.

Intelliview 4 / Pro 700
1. Operator listing.
The information that was placed on my data card, was loaded by the customer (grower) as it contained some of the guidance lines & fields, we required for harvest. Mine was not the only card set up this way. I don't know what process was used to achive this apart from using the PLM software. I feel there was some errors in this process as I have some data from others combines, some seeding data etc. etc. etc. Obviously, the parameters set to import in the PLM to card process, were not correct.
On the Intelliveiw 4, I set the operator up as me & named my machine so as to distinquish between the 4 machines for later analysis.
Harvest completed. Loaded data into PLM software & there is no "operator" for the 2012 season when I pull up the "operator report". There is no name for the combine - apart from the NH code. If I pull up the "resourse usage report" I can see the operator(s) - there should only be one, but there is two ???? - & different names??? How can I fix this up? Do I have take the card back to the machine & pull up every field, make sure the operator is set correctly, name the combine again etc.etc etc.?
2. Guidance Lines.
As there is more than one machine in the field, obviously, it is very important that we have the exact same guidance lines. In the process the grower undertook to place all the guidance lines on each data card for the combines, there are some (guidance lines) missing. I don't know how or why that happened, as I was not there when that process was undertaken. As this is so, if one or two of the combines have the correct AB line & we know the degrees of heading by reading the info tab, I summise that the machine that has not got the correct guidance lines, could select "heading" - edit the degrees of heading to be the same as the other machines, then line that machine up with the correct "swath 1" line of the current correct machines, hit "set to current" & that then should then say: "swath 1" on your machine. You have to have the machine pointing in the exact same direction as the others, otherwise the swath 2R for example, could be on the opposite side of everyone elses machine. It is vital that every machine in the field has the exact same listing of swath numbers, as the fields are often 3k's long, with hills in the middle - you don't want to harvest down a swath line for 1.5k's to meet some other machine on your same line coming in the opposite direction!
Hope that makes sense for every one to comment.

The international community continues to resist the Taliban's efforts to gain recognition as the official government of Afghanistan. The chairman of the United Nations credentials committee has so far refused to meet with Abdul Hakeem Mujahid, the Taliban's designated ambassador to the U.N. Without the chairman's recommendation, it is virtually impossible that the Taliban will be granted a U.N. seat.
The Taliban is a fundamentalist Islamic group which overthrew Afghanistan's Rabbani government on September 27, 1996, and imposed an end to women's human rights there. For this reason, the Netherlands and other European countries have been reluctant to endorse the Taliban's U.N. membership. Although the U.S. has taken no official position on the matter, women's and human rights groups have pressured government officials not to recognize the Taliban.
"The American government and the United Nations must refuse to recognize the Taliban as a legitimate government in Afghanistan. How can women be safe anywhere if some governments can carry out gender apartheid with impunity? Do not think such fundamentalist terror can only happen in a far off country!" said Feminist Majority President Eleanor Smeal at a July 30 noontime picket.

We Match. You Save.
Found a price that beats ours? We'll match it, guaranteed.
How do you do it?
Step #1: Find the Ad, Copy the URL
When you find a lower price, save the web page URL. You'll need it to get your discount.
Step #2: Use the Price Match Request Form
You'll see a form at the bottom of this page. Paste the full web page URL into the appropriate slot, fill out the rest of the information, and send it to us.
Step #3: Profit!!!
Enjoy your savings, you wiley scoundrel.
What's in it for us?
We love you, and we want your business. We don't want you to run off with some other online retailer, so we're, of course, willing to give you the same deal they are. Plus, in the end, our deal will be way better than theirs! We'll match their price while we deliver life-of-product technical support, real customer service, and free shipping.
More Technical Details
To qualify for a Price Match, you must be able to produce a published price from a legitimate online retailer. Hearing about a 'great deal' from your cousin's neighbor's best friend does not count. The retailer in question will also need to have the product in stock and ready to ship. If it's on backorder, that's a mulligan. You get one claim per product, and cannot use the Price Match Policy in conjunction with other coupons, discounts, Labor Day (or other holiday) sales, or Voodoo magic. Typos, mail in rebates, closeout sales, and other non-standard retail transactions don't count either. Also, finding a great deal on Ebay or another auction site doesn't work.
Basically, the competing price must be for the same product, brand new, factory-sealed, style, model, etc etc. We also reserve the right to deny the IWAE Price Match Policy to anyone who we think is trying to get one over on us and/or trade us a wooden nickel.

Then you can release them all (or do not release Shift if you want to write capital letters) and write that letters with s, c, u, z and l buttons respectively.- сь, ць and зь are written like this: first you press ` button, release it, press Shift, release it (unless you want to write capital letters) and write them with s, c, and z.- я, ё, ю and е are written with ia, io , iu and ie or with ja, ja, ju, je. It depens of whether it is on the beginning of the word and after a vowel or it is after a consounant.- й is written with j.
One can switch you keyboard but it's hard to write when marks on the buttons do not correspond with the letters.

XFCE - correct me if I am wrong - it is a modullar system. If I want to install it on any OS what is a minimal set of modules - would it be possible to create minimal Desktop XFCE components list like:
- program (dependencies) - what I need it for - can I do without - lost functions if not installed
I was looking for this kind of information elswhere in linux forums and to my surprise I found very few informations - usualy people describe their preferences which is fine but not enough to choose right set of modules...
Best regards

Well, given that it is modular and we don't know what distro you're using as a base, giving a full list of dependencies would probably be way too much redundant information (i.e. all of the X libs, glibc, gtk+, etc., for most every module). I package Xfce for Porteus Linux, which is a lightweight live cd/usb distro based on slackware. I've tried to trim it down to be functional but still light, and here's what I've got:
(note that you will need libwnck, libsoup, and libunique for some or all of this -- many distros have them already but I have to add them. This assumes everything necessary for working Xorg and gtk+2 are already in place)
Minimal Xfce build (All are Required):
xfce4-dev-tools (note, I'm not sure, but I don't think this is required at run-time)
That would give you a working system with pretty much nothing inside. To make this useable, I add the following optional components:
gvfs (requires udev and udisks2 or udisks1+gnome-disk-utility) -- trash and usb drive automounting
thunar-volman (show/mount removeable volumes in thunar)
tumbler (show preview icons in thunar)
thunar-archive-plugin (right-click menu for archives in Thunar, I use it with file-roller)
gtk-engines-2 (for some 3rd-party gtk2 themes)
xfce4-appfinder (could live without it, but I'm packaging for a wide audience)
xfce4-xkb-plugin (again, I'm packaging for a wide audience; this requires libxklavier)
xfce4-notifyd (get notifications working and add the notification area to the panel for network/audio/battery etc)
xfce4-power-manager (give power options and show battery charge in the panel)
I also add gtk+3 because I use some applications that require it (but it is not required for Xfce 4.10) so I also added gtk-xfce-engine-3.0 for some gtk+3 themes (many gtk+2/3 themes also require the murrine and unico engines)
You will also need a display manager if you want a graphical login or autologin (I use lxdm because it's very light and doesn't bring in any extra dependencies for me) and an icon theme.
I don't include the xfwm4-themes package in my build, I only include one theme by default (currently Evolve, you can find it on gnome-look.org). I also don't use xfce4-mixer or xfce4-volumed because I hate gstreamer. Instead I use volumeicon+alsamixer. Note that you'll have no screen locker installed with this unless you already have xscreensaver or something else; I use slock because it has no extra deps. I include a dozen or so plugins for the panel, but that's all user preference.
I know you weren't looking for a "this is what I do", so I hope the information above is still at least a little helpful.
Thanks it helped... I still use xUbuntu
Thanks for this information. I'm currently playing around with Linux From Scratch and was wondering what I would need for Xfce4. This helps alot.

Don't judge a book by its association to Brett Ratner
There are some things that are just really fun to hate. Bret Easton Ellis' tweets, old guys who wear Ed Hardy t-shirts, people who run ten miles at the gym without sweating through their sports bras. For me, Olivia Munn is fun to hate. I have pretty much always found her delightfully obnoxious and overrated. But she's so good on "The Newsroom," even I can't criticize her. Her acting is subtle and nuanced, her character is smart and capable, and her chemistry with Thomas Sadoski snuck up on me in the most disarming way.At least I sort of hate that I can't hate her anymore. I still have that to hold onto. --Carina Adly MacKenzie, Zap2it

KDE Report At Linux@work 2002
KDE-nl was present at Linux@work 2002 last June and they've written up an nice bilingual report on the event, complete with annotated photos. "In the morning at 8.00 AM we arrived at the Radisson Hotel. Fabrice and Rob already arranged the booth(table): at the wall you could find a poster of Konqi in A0-format, on the table there was one laptop, some Linux and KDE mascottes, KDE-flyers, a SuSE 8.0 box and a giant Tux. We also had a bust for displaying T-shirts. The laptop showed an installed SuSE 8.0 with the standard out-of-the-box KDE 3.0-desktop along with KOffice 1.2-beta1." Nice job, guys.
Re: t-shirts

Dutch and Belgian KDE-users ....
I hope some Belgian en Dutch KDE-users would like to help to promote the (Dutch) KDE desktop. Everybody can help here, you don't need special skills like programming. Just some enthousiasme and the love for the KDE-desktop. There is a special website with information about organising attendance for these events .. http://events.kde.org
Also if there are events you think KDE-nl should attend .. then please contact us at email@example.com
take care'

Re: Photos
you are right that the pics are of low-quality, but I can assure you it has nothing to do with my skills as a photographer.We didn't use a digital camera and all pics were scanned afterwards by a helpful person.
So it was either nothong (no pics) or these pics.
Though I think the article in general is surely good publicity for KDE.
take care'

Re: Photos
It's a community effort which we support, being the community, and I think the photos are quite alright. Who are they going to harm exactly? The photos are for us, let's enjoy them.
Plus, let's be realistic. If these are the standards for posting KDE photos, then nothing will ever be posted on the dot...
By Navindra Umanee at Sun, 2002/07/07 - 5:00am
Re: Photos
I feel like this has been a common them lately, but here goes anyway:
> Could please someone teach the photographer a lesson?
Sure. When will you be meeting him to "teach him a lesson". Better yet, why weren't you there to take the pictures yourself? Will you be hiring a professional photographer for the next KDE event? Or maybe providing a nicer camera?
> I really don't think that this kind of amateur stuff is good publicity for
Because? I'm sure we lost half of our users today, just because of those photos. You know I don't think all of these "amateur" programmers are good for KDE. When is KDE going to start hiring professionals?!? Oh, wait.
> People should get a license to photograph before they can buy a digital cam.

I've had him come up to me at the Welshpool Road level crossing a while back while the gates were down, he said watch this... I watched him get lifted up by the boom-gates as they ascended.
He appears ok if he's in a quiet situation, yes he yells (barks) at cars, but he's only vocallising how he feels, the rest of us shut up about it.
Going on some of the comments here, some riders should just accept that he's the square peg that won't fit in the round hole!
If that is where it ends. Like you I have not been subjected to anything to anything other than shouts and exclamations. But some here have claimed so overt physical contact which is a little more serious.
I also have no confidence however that all posts about him are necessarily him. Overall we have little in the way of identification.

How to Disabled Linked Titles in Joomla 3.1
When writing new articles in Joomla 3.0, you may notice that when you view the article on your site the title of the article is a link. The link points back to the article itself, and is the default behavior in Joomla 3.0.
There is an article option within Joomla 3.0 that you can configure to set whether or not the title will be printed as a link. The setting is referred to as Linked Titles, and Joomla 3.0 gives the following description:
Linked Titles
If set to Yes, the article title will be a link to the article.
To prevent article titles showing as links:
- Log into your Joomla 3.0 administrative dashboard
- In the top menu, click Content and then click Article Manager
- Find and click on the title of the article that you want to adjust the linked title setting for
- In the tabbed menu, click Article Options
- Find the setting labeled Linked Titles. Next to it, select either Use Global, No, or Yes, and then click the Save button in the top left menu. You can see in the screenshots below how this setting will affect articles on your site.
Linked Titles: No Linked Titles: Yes

I finally got back to this and figure out the overide.
Comment out line 49:
 <?php echo $this->escape($this->item->title); ?>
2013-09-23 2:03 pm
Thanks for the reply. I figured as much. This seems like a odd thing to not have been resolved in joomla. Its confusing to the end user to click on a title from the category view and then see that the title is still clickable, so they may click it to see what else is there, only to not have the page change. So they may think the website is broken.
I am weaning myself off K2, but its global category options are better for UX then j core. They have the article options as part of the category options, so that all contained articles inherit these options.
Maybe there is a plugin that fixes this?
I will look into an override too.

Hello Modernmagic,
Thanks for the question, it's a pretty tough one. I believe that you would probably need to go each individual article, select the Article Options, and then select the option for it to be linkable or not. I looked at it with the author of the above tutorial (Brad) and he agreed that it didn't look like it would be a global option, but something you would need to set per article.
I hope that helps to answer your question! Please let us know if you have any further questions or comments.

What do you recommend to keep the article title linkable in the category view but not in the article view?

Site speed and GoogleMonday, March 8th, 2010
A few months ago, Google's Matt Cutts said that Google was considering taking site speed into consideration as one of many potential ranking factors for search results in 2010. However, this would not trump relevance. It would be taken more into consideration when there are two sites of relatively equal relevance, but one site loads faster and delivers a better user experience.
For those getting worried, it's probably not going to be something where all of a sudden all of the faster sites are ranking better and the slower ones are doing worse. But it does enhance the user experience, and studies show that an optimized site enjoy increased conversions by up to 16%. So, if you're not optimizing your site's performance for Google, maybe that's a good enough reason on its own.
If you are wondering how you can make your site go faster, you should think simple; take out all the unnecessary material (HTML instances), optimize (shrink down) your images for web use, write valid code (by W3C standards) and use compression for the output (in case of dynamic sites). This is the basic checklist for steps to take towards optimizing your site's speed.

Dick Johnson Racing's iconic Tru-Blu colour scheme will return to Mount Panorama this year as part of celebrations marking 50 years of the Bathurst endurance classic.
One of several retro-themed cars expected to take part, the colours were unveiled at a launch in Dick Johnson Racing's Stapylton, Queensland, workshop this morning.
The livery combines period Tru-Blu Steel Tubing signage with that of Norton and other sponsors usually seen on James Moffat's #18 entry. The deal will see James Moffat and Alex Davison run the #17 for the event.
CLICK HERE for a full gallery of images from the launch
The livery pays tribute to two cars that were instrumental in building Dick Johnsons' legend.
Johnson shot to prominence in 1980 when he led the early stages of the Bathurst 1000 in his Tru-Blu supported Ford Falcon XD until colliding with a rock that had fallen onto the circuit at the exit of The Cutting.
A subsequent outpouring of emotion on the live television broadcast by Johnson saw fans donate money to the laconic Queenslander, who promptly built a replacement car, with which he won the 1981 Australian Touring Car Championship and Bathurst 1000.
"The car is definitely going to get fans around the world excited," said Johnson of the livery.
"Norton has done a great job incorporating the historic with the new and I can't wait to get there (to Bathurst) and see it racing."
CLICK HERE for Speedcafe.com's interview with Dick Johnson on the legend of Tru-Blu
Norton marketing manager Trudie Wood expressed her company's delight at playing a part in recreating the iconic look.
"Norton is excited to contribute to the celebrations by honouring an iconic livery in Australian motorsport history, bringing back to life Dick Johnson's Tru-Blu livery on the modern day Team Norton DJR car," she said.
"We are proud to be a sponsor of V8 Supercars and delighted to be able to share this commemorative livery with motorsport fans."
DJR's three other entries of Dean Fiore/Matthew Halliday, Steven Johnson/Allan Simonsen and Steve Owen/Paul Morris will all compete at Bathurst in their regular colours.
Ironically, the number switch involved in the arrangement will mean that a Johnson is not behind the wheel of a #17 Ford at Bathurst for just the second time since 1977.

EVANSTON — It would seem Dean Lowry has taken his game to the next level.
EVANSTON — It would seem Dean Lowry has taken his game to the next level.
And, in the same manner that he took an interception back 19 yards for a touchdown in Northwestern's last game: he's done it rather quickly.
Lowry, a true sophomore and a former standout for the two-time state champion Boylan Titans, already has two of the team's 10 interceptions, two of its seven sacks and two of its four forced fumbles. He also has three tackles for loss, and has solidified a spot on the starting defensive line rotation for the 4-0 Wildcats, who have climbed to No. 17 in the latest AP poll.
But for Lowry's relatively young college career, the pick-6 has been the biggest hightlight.
"That was pretty cool," he said of the score in the Wildcats' 35-21 win over Maine. "I got a pick versus Syracuse, but I didn't get very far. So to be able to run one all the way back, and get my team a TD, it just felt really good.
"I've never had one of those, so it was nice to finish one off. I got caught at the 1-yard-line on a blocked punt back in high school, and that one had stuck with me for awhile. Now I know I can get in."
Lowry and that opportunistic defense lead the nation in interceptions (10) and touchdowns off of them (4). That's been huge since the Wildcats' other defensive stats — 82nd in the nation in yards per game allowed (426.8) and 52nd in points per game allowed (23.8) — need improvement.
Lowry and his teammates are working on that every week.
"I'm getting better every day," he said "and as a defense, we feel like we're improving every week ... every practice."
With a hefty Big Ten schedule in front of them, they will need to. This weekend the Wildcats enjoyed what Lowry called a "needed off week." They open league play Saturday when undefeated and fourth-ranked Ohio State comes to Evanston. The Buckeyes are second in the nation with 311.0 yards on the ground per game, and they've allowed just five sacks and thrown just three interceptions.
"Every week it's about putting in the hard work and preparing yourself the right way," Lowry said. "At this level, every opponent is tough. Obviously, everybody around here has bought in to Coach Fitz's (Pat Fitzgerald) way. We're ready every week."
Lowry credits the strong start to his sophomore season to the experience he gained as a freshman. He played in all 13 games last year, accumulating 14 tackles — three for loss — and six QB hurries.
And it didn't go unnoticed.
"He's doing a great job on his film study, great job on his preparation and he's a guy that I think through the experiences he had a year ago is really starting to come into his own," Fitzgerald said. "He has a great grasp of the system, plays incredibly hard with terrific effort and he's just, in my opinion, just continuing to get better and better."
The key was that Lowry turned into a film-room and weight-room junkie. He's added 30 pounds of muscle since graduating from Boylan, and now the 6-foot-6, 265-pounder is a force.
"I knew I could play in the Big Ten," he said. "I basically have learned that, with enough hard work, anything is possible."
He's proving that with every game he plays.

After crossing the plate with the winning run in Friday night's 18-inning marathon, Desmond Jennings drove in four runs for the Tampa Bay Rays in a 5-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday in the second of a four-game set.
Jennings went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer in the fifth and an RBI triple in the seventh for the Rays, who have won three of their last four and sit atop the AL wild card standings.
Alex Cobb (10-3) was on his way to a shutout in the ninth, but David DeJesus misplayed a fly ball in left field to allow Chris Davis to reach third and Adam Jones quickly brought him home with a single to right. Cobb was lifted after 8 1/3 innings and was charged with the one run on five hits while fanning 12 batters.
"You can't put into words how appreciative you are when you're on the mound and these guys after an 18-inning game when you're in bed sleeping while they're putting together a win, and they come out with the same intensity for you the next day," Cobb said.
Miguel Gonzalez (10-8) picked up the loss after only surrendering two hits, one of which was Jennings' home run. The Orioles now sit three games out of the final wild card spot in the American League.
"Everybody was engaged and ready to play today," O's manager Buck Showalter said. "No excuses."
After the nearly seven-hour marathon that ended at about 2 a.m. local time on Friday, the teams had a quick turnaround with a 1 p.m. start and neither squad seriously threatened until the fifth.
Gonzalez walked Jose Molina and Yunel Escobar to start the inning. After DeJesus flied out to left, Jennings lifted a fastball into the seats in left to give the Rays a 3-0 edge.
Tampa Bay added to its lead in the seventh. Escobar tripled to center off Francisco Rodriguez with one out and scored when Jennings dropped a line drive into center for another triple with two away. Ben Zobrist then singled up the middle to plate Jennings for a 5-0 edge.
Baltimore managed only a pair of singles and two walks through eight innings against Cobb before Davis' gift triple with one out in the ninth. After Jones singled him home, Fernando Rodney retired Nick Markakis and J.J. Hardy on grounders to end the game.
Game Notes
Gonzalez walked five batters ... Cobb is now 7-0 at home ... The Rays lead the season series, 11-6 ... Jennings' four RBI are a career high ... Tampa Bay went 3-for-10 with runners in scoring position.
