Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Need for Speed were real? Sure, we've had movies like Fast and the Furious, and the soon-to-be movie version of the Need for Speed franchise itself, but today EA and Criterion went sped ahead and released a live-action trailer for the upcoming open-world racing game.
As you can tell from this TV Spot trailer, and the recent "Get Wanted", Criterion has placed a ton of emphasis on outrunning the cops. In the game you'll have to avoid roadblocks, outrun dozens of cop cars, and use racing wits to outsmart them — that includes seamlessly switching cars mid-chase to fake them out. All the while, you'll be competing with friends and rivals in a seamless world that rids the game of typical game menus.
Get ready to stick it to the fuzz when Need for Speed: Most Wanted releases for Xbox 360, PS3, PS Vita, and PC on October 30, 2012.

For The Courier
CLARKSVILLE - Dardanelle's defeat of Clarksville on Friday night allowed the Sand Lizards to finish the regular season undefeated in 4AAAA Conference play.
The Panthers started the game off by scoring a quick four points in the paint, but Dardanelle's Octavius May hit a 3-pointer, and C.J. Chaten to made a layup to give the visitors from Yell County the lead.
The lead would fluctuate between the two teams until the Lizards pulled ahead with two quick 3-pointers by Chaten and Matt Nuckols. Dardanelle went into the second quarter with a 16-10 lead.
Clarksville shot the ball well in the second period, as Ellis Foster and Josh Ridell kept Clarksville in the game going and end the first half with the score knotted 32-all.
"I'm so proud of our group for what they have accomplished during the regular season," Dardanelle coach Shane Thurman said. "You could just see how badly they wanted this tonight. The second half was fantastic in terms of hustle and effort. Our captains, C.J. (Chaten) and Matt (Haney) provided great leadership for us tonight, and Matt Nuckols made a big contribution off the bench."
The third quarter was all Dardanelle as the Lizards went on a 12-0 run at the 5-minute mark, and would continue to drop shots from the outside.
Haney hit two 3-pointers in the quarter, and Josh Manaat held the fort in the lane for Dardanelle. When the buzzer sounded on the quarter, Dardanelle held a 60-40 lead. The Panthers only mustered eight points in the quarter, and Dardanelle scored 28.
The Sand Lizards and Clarksville started subbing at the 4-minute mark, and when the final quarter came to an end, Dardanelle walked away with a 77-55 victory to give the Lizards their first-undefeated conference run since 1988.
Chaten led all scorers on the night with 26 points, followed by Haney with 18. Manaat had 10, May with eight, and Nuckols had six.
Calvin Sims led Clarksville with 14, followed by Foster with 12, and Ridell with 11.
Dardanelle 61,
Clarksville 60
The Lady Panthers led at the end of every quarter except for the fourth, as the Lady Sand Lizards would win the game 61-60.
It was a game with two diverse styles. Clarksville, a post-heavy team that like to run half-court offenses and slowing the game down going up against Dardanelle. The Lady Lizards are a guard-heavy team, with smaller posts who run the court with the guards.
The battle on the night was to see who could force the other team to play their kind of ball, and for the first three quarters, that team was Clarksville.
"We knew both teams would really want to win this game," Dardanelle coach Tim Aynes said. "This was basically for a regionals appearance, and for a share of the conference title.
"It was a war out there. We had to start a bigger lineup than we usually do because of Clarksville's size. And we we were able to come out of here with a big victory. There is a lot of pride in that."
The first quarter saw Clarksville go with a 6-0 run, and exit the quarter with a 14-13 lead. Dardanelle would take the lead in the second quarter, but would relinquish is very quickly as Clarksville's Whitney Bateman hit a 3-pointer. The Lady Panthers again made a short run before the quarter ended, and went into the locker room with a 39-32 lead.
During the third quarter, Clarksville appeared to put the game out of reach for the Lady Lizards. At the 3-minute mark, the Lady Panthers went ahead by 13 points over the Lizards.
Thanks to good shooting by Crystal Kellybrew and Jasmine Byers, along with tough full-court defensive pressure by Heather Canerday, the Lady Lizards pulled within five to go into the fourth quarter down 50-45.
Dardanelle continued to fight during the fourth, taking its first lead since the second quarter when Byers made a layup and got fouled. Her free throw gave Dardanelle a one point lead with 5:44 left.
The score would continue to go back and forth until Kayla Ludgood made an old-fashioned 3-point play to pull Clarksville to within 60-58.
Kellybrew made a free throw with 19 seconds left to give Dardanelle a 3-point lead, and the Lady Lizards were able to hang on for the win.
Kellybrew lead the Lady Lizards with 22 points, followed by Byers with 16.
Bateman led Clarksville in scoring with 13, followed by Ludgood with 10.

Mike Scioscia postgame interview
Manager believes Lackey gave the team a chance to win
By / MLB.com
MIKE SCIOSCIA: John pitched a terrific ballgame and certainly gave us a chance to win. You know, early runs are going to be key in this series and we got one, but we couldn't mount enough against Lester to pad it and give John leeway to pitch. He didn't make many bad pitches tonight and the one he made was to Bay, and it was a great game by John and Lester was on his game.
He pitched deep into the game, held his stuff through his pitch count and we couldn't get a hit early in the game which you think could have changed the complex of the game.
Mike, what was Lester doing out there? Why was he so effective?
MIKE SCIOSCIA: He's having a terrific year. He's got a great arm and certainly his velocity was up a bit from where we seen him early in the year and he was able to get the fastball on both sides of the plate.
I thought he threw some breaking balls behind in counts which got him back into counts and a curve that he was throwing inside to some of our righties, and he had great stuff and he pitched a great ballgame.
Mike, they get the lead in the sixth and Lester comes out and strikes out the side, if you were his manager you would love to see something like that, but what kind of a message does that send?
MIKE SCIOSCIA: We got three. The message to us or
Yeah, you had other chances after that but just
MIKE SCIOSCIA: There wasn't any message. You're out there trying to beat a pitcher and he pitched a good ballgame. We had some chances early and couldn't get some hits to fall in. If a pitcher gets a lead and comes out and puts up a zero that's important to keep up momentum and he did that.
Mike, how critical do you think it was when Guerrero got thrown out at third base?
MIKE SCIOSCIA: You never know what that inning is going to become, but, you know, Vlad is aggressive, and it was a tough read and it was behind him and I thought he thought the ball was a little further out than it was.
And give Youkilis credit. He maintained his composure, got the hop and made a good throw to third base.
Mike, did Gary lose that ball in the lights?
MIKE SCIOSCIA: I haven't checked but there is that bank of lights which if that ball in right field gets into he could lose it, but we haven't had a chance to talk to him about it.
How about the way Oliver came in and struck out Ortiz and the decision to take out Lackey at that point?
MIKE SCIOSCIA: John pitched a great game and I think it was important to give a different look in there with Ortiz and Darren Oliver has had a terrific season for us and came up big there and unfortunately we were want able to come back and win but he's stepped up big for us all season, and that was definitely an important out that inning that he got us and he got us a couple more the next inning.

mine-ineye-deatheah-pielayah-jooa-kalayus. oolah-minane-hay-meeriah-kal-oyus-algay-a-thaykin', buddy!
The oil was clearly coming from the vent cap. Maybe i was just traveling too fast for too long.
I called Bobs BMW and told him how i filled the final drive and they agreed i did things correctly. It started out the trip at the proper fill level.
Pics of some other bike are not going to allow us to help diagnose what might be going on with your bike.
again, this is NOT a common problem, so seeing YOUR bike might give us some clues as to what is happening.
Ride Safe, Ride Lots
Here is my final drive.
Is it possible that you have recently changed the brand or type of oil in the rear drive?
Did the venting problem start with this trip having been ok in the past or is this a new bike to you?
You say you used 80w90 gear oil - that is correct as I understand but the reason for my asking above is
that once in the past on an earlier year airhead I thought I could slow or cure a leaking drive seal problem
by using 85/140 gear oil instead of the 80/90 - the result was that the thicker oil was thrown up to and out
the vent like the problem you describe - my experiment failed and made a mess
The type or brand of the oil you used may be an issue if you have changed just prior to this problem.
Same oil since i bought the bike 5 yrs ago, 20k miles, valvoline durablend part synthetic, 80w90. The vent has always done this, the more close to full the worse the blow by through the vent which is also tied directly to speed. I could have it full and ride around all day at 40 mph and just get a little oily wetness around the vent cap. If the oil level is 1/2 or more below the 9:00 bolt hole i could ride all day at 70 mph and see the same. If it's full and i ride at 70 it wants to blow oil all over. Could someone post a picture of the inside of their vent cap? I'd like to compare it to what i had. I've welded a baffle in mine already otherwise i'd post a picture of mine.
same thing happened to my '74 900. Conditions, cool temps, just changed from BMW gear oil to Dino Valvoline 80/90, went for short spin, came back foamy oil all over the place oozing out breather top. Panic. What I remember is advice concerning how at a times, when conditions are right, the gears can shear air bubbles into the mix creating greater volume then housing contains, there's nowhere for the frothy mix to go except out the top. There was a thread explaining all this back in the lost threads somewhere, around aught eleven. I now use BMW gear oil with a pinch or two of moly. Inner seal has just started a infinitesimal leak, another project. Two cents FWIW.
I checked and resealed a finned or '80 and up F/D similar to the OP and found a sheet metal baffle plate inside that appeared to be there to direct the oil splash away from the vent. Mine has never pushed oil out the vent.
Not if you can see the gears, but I checked one earlier this morning and it (an '82 FD that did not have a baffle) certainly accepted a baffle from a later FD. Maybe some of them are just missing?

Now we are getting somewhere. There is definitely no baffle inside my final drive.
Went out for a ride today. Vent cap puked oil all over the place. I called max bmw and talked to rusty about my issue. I took off the rear wheel and the oil was not coming from any of the seal. Rusty said there is supposed to be a baffle inside the final drive and if i can see the crown gear rotating mine is missing. I'm going to hook up a puke line with a banjo fitting while i wait for the baffle to arrive from Germany. Why it has never done this before i have no idea.
I did check the fluid levels when i returned home. Driveshaft was right on, final drive was 100 cc low. Ride was about 80 miles.
good perseverance. a definite odd-ball "wow".
Ride Safe, Ride Lots
I just checked my 81 R100RT and it has a baffle! Where is it listed on the parts diagram?

"How're you doing, sweetie?" Naomi Haskell asks.
It has been 10 years since he began thinking his classmates were whispering about him, four years since he started feeling angry all the time, and two years since he first told a doctor he was hearing imaginary voices. It has been 20 months since he was told he had a form of schizophrenia, and 15 months since he swallowed three bottles of Benadryl and laid down to die, after which he had gotten better, and worse and, for a while, better again, or so Naomi had thought until an hour ago, when they were in the therapist's office and Spencer said that his head was feeling "cloudy."
"Wait —" she said, interrupting. "You described it as a cloudy feeling?"
Cloudy was the big, flying red flag that she had learned to dread. It might simply be a side effect of one of his five medications. But it could also be the quiet beginning of her firstborn son falling apart again, of hallucinations, or a dive into depression, or some other dimension of his illness that Naomi has yet to fathom.
"Yeah," Spencer said. "Cloudy. It feels like these winds are blowing inside my head."

Just call him Batman.
Seattle Mariners right fielder Ichiro Suzuki set a Major League Baseball record by becoming the first player to record 10 consecutive 200-hit seasons, breaking his own record with a single into center field in the fifth inning of a game against the Toronto Blue Jays, reports ESPN.
After the record-breaking hit, his teammates came to the top of the dugout to applaud and the star received a standing ovation from the crowd.
"After I accomplished 200 hits and I looked to the dugout, everyone was celebrating, everyone was very happy. They were showing congratulatory feelings," he said through a translator. "That's when I finally felt I could express my feelings in a good way and say I'm happy for what I've achieved."
Ichiro's 200 hits lead MLB, making this the seventh year he's earned that distinction. He surpassed Willie Keeler, who had nine consecutive seasons of 200 or more hits from 1894 to 1901. He also holds the single season hits record with 262.
Suzuki now has more 200-hit seasons that any player in American League history, breaking a record he shared with Ty Cobb. Pete Rose is the only other player in Major League History to have 10 seasons of 200 or more hits.
Ichiro, who has shown flashes of power throughout his career, has a season high home run total of 15. When asked if he could imagine hitting 50 homers, he joked that he could probably see himself making 50 saves before he could seem himself smacking 50 dingers.
The Japanese star is more than just a hit machine, though. He also has nine Golden Gloves to his credit.

ICPSR Instructional Subset: General Social Survey, 1975 (ICPSR 7527)
Principal Investigator(s): Davis, James A.
This data collection is a subset of the fourth in a series of five annual surveys of the National Data Program for the Social Sciences designed and carried out over a five-year period by the National Opinion Research Center (NORC), University of Chicago. Included in this subset are items selected by the NORC staff and an advisory panel of sociologists as being "mainstream" interests of academic sociology in areas such as the family, socioeconomic status, social mobility, social control, race relations, sex relations, and morale. Variables in this subset cover opinions of gender roles, including whether women should take care of running their homes and the comparative emotional suitability of men and women for a career in politics, and views of abortion and the conditions under which it might be viewed as justified. Other variables provide information on attitudes toward such issues as pornography and its control, premarital sex, school prayers, legalization of marijuana, and several law and order issues. A major set of variables in this subset focuses on confidence in such institutions as banks, corporations, labor unions, courts, religion, the media, the professions, and several branches of government. Additional items provide information on views regarding the amount of money the United States should spend on various programs such as space exploration, defense, welfare, education, health, foreign aid, urban problems, and the environment, as well as views of other people and their motives, feelings of work satisfaction, and attitudes toward school and neighborhood racial integration, fair housing laws, interracial marriages, and race relations in general. Demographic items specify sex, race, family income, occupation, education, employment, religion, political party identification, self-perceived ideological and social class identification, region and size of place where the respondents lived, organizational membership, and respondents' family background.

Eliasson highlighted the sustained growth in CSX's merchandise and intermodal businesses, which now comprises more than 80% of the company's volume. CSX expects that business to continue growing at a rate above the general economy, he said.
"CSX employs a dual intermodal strategy that includes both high-density corridors and a hub-and-spoke philosophy that also creates service density to open new small and medium-sized markets—a strategy the company believes is a differentiator in the intermodal marketplace," Eliasson told conference attendees Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2013.
CSX also recently completed the first phase of doublestack clearances in its National Gateway initiative, which will create a more efficient rail route to link Mid-Atlantic ports with Midwestern markets. When the National Gateway is complete in 2015, roughly 95% of the railroad's intermodal traffic will be moving in doublestack lanes. To prepare for long-term growth, CSX is building new terminals to expand its reach in markets such as central Florida, Pittsburgh, and Montreal. In addition, the railroad continues to invest in existing terminals to further increase efficiency throughout its network, such as an expansion of its Northwest Ohio hub, which opened in 2011 and has helped alleviate congestion in Chicago while opening up connectivity to markets in the Midwest.
Eliasson also reiterated expectations for 2013 earnings-per-share growth that will be slightly up from last year, "despite continued headwinds in both the export and domestic coal markets."
"The CSX team continues to overcome significant headwinds as the energy markets evolve in favor of natural gas and away from coal," said Eliasson said. "During this transition, we have still been able to generate EPS growth and value for shareholders as we quickly adapt to market changes and carefully manage the things we can control the most. We are confident that CSX will emerge an even stronger, more vibrant company as the operating environment stabilizes and the economy improves."
Underscoring expectations for growth, Eliasson reaffirmed the company's long-term EPS guidance, which are expected to grow over a two-year period at an average rate of 10% to 15% through 2015 off the 2013 base, "although that is more challenging in the near term given the coal environment." He said that CSX "remains focused on sustaining an operating ratio in the high 60s by 2015, and the mid-60s longer-term."

Qualcomm Dominated Cellular Baseband Market in Q1
Post a comment
BROOKLYN, NY — Qualcomm Corp. remained the dominant player in the cellular baseband market in the first quarter of 2014, but Intel Corp. was knocked out of the top three rankings for the first time in three years, according to Strategy Analytics' latest Handset Component Technologies service report (subscription required).
Qualcomm accounted for 66% of the $4.7 billion global cellular baseband processor market, which grew only 2.5% from a year earlier, followed by MediaTek and Spreadtrum, with shares of 15% and 5%, respectively. Intel lost its top three spot, falling to fifth place, due to a sharp decline in 2G and 3G baseband shipments during the quarter, according to the report.
However, Strategy Analytics says that Intel's market-share loss is temporary. The company is picking up momentum in LTE baseband sales and has the potential to win high-profile sockets with its Cat 6 LTE baseband XMM 7260 in the second half of 2014.
In a press release, Christopher Taylor, director of RF and wireless component service for Strategy Analytics, attributed Qualcomm's continued dominance to its "diverse customer base and strong LTE product portfolio." However, its LTE revenue share fell to 91% in the first quarter from 95% in the first quarter last year. Qualcomm is catching some heat from its LTE baseband counterparts, particularly Intel and Marvell, which ranked fourth.
"Strategy Analytics believes that Qualcomm has a plenty of opportunities in terms of its LTE product-mix as less than 50 percent of baseband shipments were LTE basebands in Q1 2014," Taylor said in the release.
Stuart Robinson, director of handset component technologies service for Strategy Analytics and author of the report, said in the release that MediaTek must quickly accelerate its LTE efforts to maintain its No. 2 spot, since "the company currently draws most of its growth from 2G and 3G markets only."

HOUSTON - Without a doubt, the fan favorite of Sunday's Super Bowl ads was the Budweiser Clydesdale commercial. The ad was done in true Texas style, since the actor in it calls the Houston area home.
Don Jeanes graduated from Humble High School and Texas State University in San Marcos.
"Every day was the best day of my life," said Jeanes. "I don't know about you, but how often do you get to hug a Clydesdale? That is very cool."
Jeanes said he trained with the Budweiser Clydesdale horses for about a day and a half and developed a special bond with the amazing animals.
"I think the story itself is touching," said Scott Allen, principal of the High School For the Performing and Visual Arts and Jeanes' former drama teacher. "You get a little teary-eyed, but I think the fact that that's my baby, you're even doubly proud."
Jeanes' former lead theatre firector and High School For The Performing and Visual Arts lead counselor, Travis Springfield, also said he is proud of Jeanes.
"He's a good kid," said Springfield. "Always kind to his fellow classmates. It's nice when someone puts the work in and gets the pay off."18399732

Dynamic Photo HDR, high dynamic range imaging software with Anti-Ghosting
The High Dynamic Range Imaging is a set of techniques that has been developed nearly 20 years ago to overcome the limitations of electronic devices by combining multiple exposures into one great looking image.
A HDR photography can be created by taking few photos with different exposure, then combining them in the software into a high dynamic file. The last thing is to tone-map the HDR image so we can see it in our screen, print it, post it on the web and enjoy.
Next generation of High Dynamic Range Photo software with Pin Warping, Anti-Ghosting and Color Matching.
Dynamic Photo HDR is based on a still relatively new technology but it's an important one and one that's getting more and more focus from developers.
According to the developer, this is an ideal tool for those who have taken a photos but the image that they get is not the one that they imagined. The software can adjust photos so that any imperfections, distortions and focus problems are smoothed out as easily possible. It features very powerful Auto-Aligning, Manual and Auto-Assist Aligning of images with something called "Pin Warping" that can correct all various types of misalignment, including camera roll, pitch or yaw. Ever had a ghost type object appear on your photos? Dynamic Photo HDR can completely eliminate ghosting of moving objects. In addition, it features a series of tone mapping procedures that can create a whole range of images - from smooth photographic tone mapping to very dramatic images.
This is still very much a developing technology but it has the potential to improve your photos in a dramatic new way. Take it for a test drive and see for yourself.

Outcomes of Solar Surface Penetration Injuries Studied
- Jan 24, 2014
- Intermediate
- Topics:
Foot penetrations located in the region of the frog should be treated as potentially serious and should be investigated by a veterinarian, Findley said.
Photo: Bob Agne, DVM
Hoof sole penetration injuries are no small matter, though they might be nearly indiscernible to the eye and affect a small area. It's more about what's going on deep inside the hoof, where concealed damage to internal structures can be disastrous; the prognosis for horses injuring these structures to return to their prior athletic level is often bleak, and some horses might even require euthanasia if sepsis takes hold.
"The term 'solar foot penetration' can be used to describe a number of injuries, ranging from a simple nail prick following farriery and injuries involving just the horn of the foot and the digital cushion, through to deep injuries involving important structures such as the tendons and joints within the foot," explained Judith Findley, BSc, BVM&S, Cert AVP (ES-O), MRCVS, of the University of Liverpool, in England. "Our study focused solely on those injuries which involved the joints and bursa of the foot (synovial structures)."
The team analyzed data from 95 cases with penetrating injuries to the coffin joint, navicular bursa, or digital flexor tendon sheath at four veterinary hospitals in the United Kingdom, and found that only 56% of the horses survived treatment and were discharged. Of those recovering to discharge, 57% returned to pre-injury athletic function. In total, only 36% of horses in this study returned to full performance ability.
Findley said the study results also showed that:
- Injuries to the center of the frog had worse outcomes than those at either side of the frog;
- Horses that required more than one surgery to treat a foot penetration were less likely to return to athletic function, possibly due to the effects of ongoing inflammation in the joints; and
- Cobs, drafts, and ponies were more likely to return to their pre-injury level of athletic function than Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods, and Arabians, perhaps attributable to a lower baseline level of athletic function or higher tolerance to low-grade lameness in cold-blooded breeds.
"Solar foot penetrations involving the joints are potentially career and even life-threatening injuries," said Findley, adding that the study's findings indicate the more time that lapses between injury and veterinary treatment, the more dire the outcome. "As the time increases, the likelihood of short-term survival and the likelihood of returning to the same level of athletic function decreases, therefore prompt treatment and early referral is very important. Foot penetrations located in the region of the frog should be treated as potentially serious and should be investigated by a veterinarian."
The study, "Outcome of horses with synovial structure involvement following solar foot penetrations in four UK veterinary hospitals: 95 cases," was published in the Equine Veterinary Journal.

MyTwoCensus Editorial: Brooklyn scandal is just the tip of the icebergMonday, July 12th, 2010
What happened last month at the Brooklyn LCO was indeed unfortunate. But let us not be naive: Data collection inaccuracies and falsifications are happening throughout the entire New York Regional Area and possibly the entire nation, though perhaps on a smaller scale than in Brooklyn.
There are many luxury rental and condominum buildings where real estate management companies have a strict "no enumerator" policy, as well as tenement buildings and brownstones where it is impossible to gain access. There are also one or two family houses where it is unclear how many people live there and a knowledgeable proxy could not be located.
For these units, some enumerators went to public search records on the Internet or merely wrote the names off the mailboxes. The mid and upper level census managers encouraged field staff to use techniques to "guesstimate," creating major operational ambiguity for the once in a decade headcount.
What was acceptable inside the questionnaire was another problem. Most enumerators tried to get all the information but those who went to a proxy who gave them little, no, or inaccurate information, finished their areas quickly. These same field staff were rewarded with more work and allowed to clean up districts that were lagging behind.
These cases are the same ones where quality assurance suspects poor data collection practices or data falsification. However, in some cases re-interview staff are unable to locate the respondent to verify whether the interview was actually conducted and prove it definitively. Many other quality assurance managers are told to "just pass it" or are afraid to accuse enumerators of poor quality work, fearing that they will be stepping on people's toes.
For two years municipalities and city officials preached about the beauty of the census through media and print advertising. They encouraged people to send back their census forms saying it was the only way to ensure that their residents were counted and for their community to receive the federal funding it was entitled to.
But these city officials did little in the way in forcing real estate management companies and reluctant respondents to cooperate when their participation was required. The fact that the Census Bureau and Department of Commerce made empty threats to fine people for not cooperating and then did not follow through on it shows how poorly 2010 Census data has been managed.
The offices in the five boroughs of New York will be the last in the nation to finish NRFU, whereas most areas were done weeks ago. The few career census employees who valued a fair and accurate count and finished last can not be proud of their work. Those responsible for promoting the individuals won't let them be proud. When it comes time for their annual performance reviews, the fact they finished last will be reflected poorly and jeopardize their careers.
What happened in Brooklyn should not come as a surprise. In retrospect the Census did what it usually does. It set hard line production goals, held managers and field staff accountable and fired them if they failed to meet these goals with little constructive technical support. Those who work quickly are rewarded with more work with little regard to accuracy.
I dedicate this post to the many crew leaders, field operations supervisors and LCO manager who lost their jobs because they valued a fair and accurate count.

|Easy Access Uintas
Date Climbed: Aug 24, 2007
|Made a quick trip to the summit while my wife and sister visited nearby falls on the Provo River. Shortest trail to a summit in the Uintas that I know of. The view is beautiful, trail well maintained.

|July 15 and still plenty of snow
Date Climbed: Jul 15, 2011
|July 15, 2011: The summer route was still covered in snow and since we got an early start (7:30 am), the snow was still hard. So we just went straight up the SE shoulder, traversed across the top and dropped down to the saddle between Bald and Reid. The west side below Bald was covered in melting snow so it took awhile to trod back that way, but made it more challenging! Another great thing about the snow still hanging around is we had the place to ourselves, didn't see one other people, which was perfect!

|On our very second camping trip of our life, I managed to conquer this beast. Unlike the last attempt (July 24th, 2009) where a huge snowbank blocked the trail and made it impossible to advance, this time we walked by the same area and didn't even notice where the snowbank should have been until I pointed it out. Round trip was about 2 hours (1 hour 5 min up and 45 minutes down because we had to wait for group 2, who started the hike 15 minutes after us on the descent). I really enjoyed the hike up and the sheer cliffs were amazing. This mountain has amazing views everywhere!! Oh and did I mention we started our hike at 6:56 P.M and on the way down saw the amazing sunset?? Yes, and all this made my very first alpine summit a very good experience!!

|Bald and Reed's
Date Climbed: Sep 5, 2009
|My friend and I decided to tackle this monster this morning, ha ha. It took just about 30 minutes to reach the summit. One of the most pleasant and beautiful hikes I have yet done. It offers great views of other Uinta peaks that wet my appetite to spend some considerable time in the Uinta's. At the top, I decided to change our previous plans, of also bagging Murdock Mountain, and felt the beckoning call of Reed's Peak. I left Bald Mountain at 10:15 am and reached the summit at 11:05 am. May just be my new favorite mountain. Found the mailbox stashed away under the summit cairn, and wrote my name, date, and city on one of the last pages of the spiral notebook I found inside. The last page in that book had been signed in 1999. It looked as if it had endured much weather since being deposited there 10 years ago. It was a beautiful day, and I didn't see a single other person attempting Reed's on a rather busy Bald Mtn Labor Day weekend.

|Beautiful hike! We arrived at the trailhead at 8:55am, made it to the summit in under an hour. Didn't see a soul the whole time, with the exception of a curious mountain goat that hung around the summit the whole time we were there. Great views in all directions! Such a great, fun hike!

|Neat area
Date Climbed: Aug 1, 2009
|The parking area was packed and so was the trail. A popular trail but yet that didn't alter the superb views. A bicycle event was going on down on the highway so I didn't go over and get Murdock like I thought I would and I also had planned to re-visit the county highpoint and check the register. That'll wait for another day (mid week a better choice).

Sometimes the rerun of championships on TV show another aspect which the original didn't and often skaters who did not make the first showing somehow get on the rerun.
It's Tuesday night on ESPN2 in NYC. It might be different in your neck of the woods. N.B. Heather's listing is Monday, so check your locals.
Some things to check:
D&S and D&L - A very close competition. Do you think it could have been different?
B&A - Are they still valid for the gold next season?
M&S - Not their best. Do you think they may be overrated?
P&T - Was their imrovement worthy of the gold?
M&B - Are they now 'gold' competitive?
I&B - Should the judges take note this year?
Kimmie - How bad was the performance, if you think it was?
Fumie - Without doubling the jump could she have won?
Sasha - Will she continue to be gold worthy?
Stephane - Was the Caller correct in downgrading the 3A?
Joubert - Even with Stephane's downgrade, can he beat him without a downgrade?
Lysacek - Will he continue to be the perenniel bronze against all those skaters?
Your replies appreciated and your additional questions most welcome.

A New Story for a New Economy
To Find Our Human Place in a Living Universe
New essay by David Korten
The underlying premise of this essay is simple and, for many of us, self-evident. We are living beings who survive and thrive only as responsible contributing members of a Living Earth Community. As our indigenous brothers and sisters have long recognized, Earth is our Sacred Mother. She births and nurtures us. We must love and care for her as she loves and cares for us. This truth has profound implications for how we organize the economies through which we obtain our means of living. This powerful essay is beautifully designed, complete with a discussion guide and David's personal story behind the essay.
- "The Living Earth, and the Human Presence Upon It" with David Korten, Bill Twist & Steven Motenko
- "Sacred Activism" with Andrew Harvey, followed by "Creative Offering" with Kim Rosen
- "What Gives Me Hope" Special Video with Majora Carter, Frances Moore Lappe, Bill McKibben, Ashara Ekundayo, Randy Hayes, Michael Brune & John Robbins
The Spring of Sustainability will engage you fully in what world-renowned ecologist (and former Spring of Sustainability presenter) Joanna Macy calls, "The Great Turning . . . the essential adventure of our time: the shift from the industrial growth society to a life-sustaining civilization."
It's the expression of a world movement. We'll go so far as to say it is the expression of the ideas and guidance from Planet Earth. And this next wave will be led by top ecologists, activists, visionaries, scientists, business leaders, sociologists, psychologists, indigenous wisdom-keepers, sustainability experts... and YOU.

I'm curious, how do you have the open files listed on the sidebar? I'd love to have that.
View > Side Bar > Show Open Files
Nice theme, but highlighting changed tabs - not working for me, any ideas why?
Very nice theme, but I think the active tab needs a bit more visual focus (or the dirty, non-active tabs need a bit less visual focus).
Do you have highlight_modified_tabs enabled?
At this point I'm not planning on changing the theme much since it does what I need, so it's mostly up to you/other folks to modify it if something doesn't feel perfect. As it is, I don't really have any issues with it, so I'm just leaving it be since it functions as intended and I'd rather not spend too much more time on it fiddling with tiny things.
Don't get me wrong, I really love your theme. Great work! It has now overtaken Soda Dark as my default theme.
What color scheme are you using? It looks ace with your theme.
Just wanted to say I really like the theme. Thanks!
Color scheme is Tubnil. You can grab it over in my random-junk-for-Sublime repo on Github, but I'll go add it to the theme's repo as well since I've had a few different folks ask about it now.
Grats on getting added to Package Control!Not sure when it happened exactly, but I noticed it just a bit ago.Thanks for creating such a great theme!!
^ This
Could you give me some pointers on where to look if I want to tweak the text color/bg color for inactive tabs? Completely new to theme hacking...
Edit: Never mind, found it
Alright, I spent all day updating this bloody theme. Check the first post for details. The short of it: bright theme, HDPI support, icons, and lazy blocky scrollbars.
First HDPI theme?? Nice!
I'm a not huge fan of how low the tab_height has gotten in the last release. I bumped it back up to 32 (I think that's what it was at before?) and it looks much better.
It's actually not supposed to be that low -- oversight on my part. Forgot to set it back after I was done fiddling with the tab images. It's now 30, since that's what I've ended up using most.
Can you please tell me the name of the font you are using? Thank you.
The font is Envy Code R.
I'm not sure how most people are finding my theme, but a quick reminder to everyone who may install it at some point and then create a frivolous issue on the GitHub page:
If you notice your tabs aren't highlighted when modified, double-check the README. Do not create a GitHub issue for this unless you are absolutely sure it's not a case of PEBCAK — otherwise I'm putting your issue in the hall of shame. I may also add your name to the README as a person to be shunned and avoided for eternity. It depends on how many more issues people create without reading the README. Might be fun.
Quick update:
Added a new color scheme, Big Duo. Cast in the name of god, ye not guilty, and so on. Screenshot of that below. I don't expect it'll be to everyone's liking, but I was finding Tubnil a little hard to work with during the day even though I basically live in a cave (three stories up, but you'd be surprised what covering the windows with towels will do), so I figured I'd tweak it a bit. This was the result. I know, it's more along the lines of Big O's colors, but Big Duo's cooler. Insert other childlike wonder at big robots here.
Fixed diff highlighting in Tubnil Bright. Also tweaked highlighting in Tubnil. Both include keys for some stuff that's not in the default diff grammar — I'll probably see about putting those changes somewhere later. Git diff highlighting inside commit messages is also given a unique background color as well in both Tubnil and Big Duo. There's also a highlight for namespaces and such in there — same as other entities. The default C++ grammar also does not include this. That's another thing I'll have to think about.
As anyone who uses Nil or Ayin might've noticed, groups and folders are purple now. Actually, folders were always purple in Ayin, but the point is there's more purple. As an added note to those who have been requesting I change it to blue or add a ridiculous number of preferences to change it to different colors, no. The sidebar colors can be disabled, check the README for instructions.
Big Duo:Click for screenshot (or look down a post)
Hey look, an update. This is mainly to address two issues:
Fixes wasted space in the tabset and some sort of odd crash to do with resizing the windows. I assume this is the result of inheriting some odd tab configurations from the old Pseudo OS X theme, but I don't know. All I know is the tabs have been reconfigured and may be slightly visually different.
Sidebar rows are slightly tweaked. They're now 1px taller and indentations are a little different. This is mostly to accommodate the folder icons.
All of the changes apply to both Nil and Ayin. Screenshot of Nil follows (with the Big Duo color scheme instead of Tubnil now).
There are no free hotdogs in this update.

Please help me out. I dont know whats happening .
I did not run any .exe files . I was just surfing the web and all of a sudden Zone alarm notified me of 2 different viruss .
Since then (the last hour) it has found the above 2 viruss in over a 1000 different locations on my PC.
The files that supposedly contain these viruss or Trojans end in .exe or .dll and appear completely innocent they have been installed on my computer for months. Such as this one:
Virus.Win32.Nimnul.a was found in C:\Program Files\Google\Google Earth\client\googleearth.exe on 06/10/2010 06:55:16
Even my security software files that end in .exe are supposedly infected.
I ran a scan and it repaired these files only for them to re-appear. I dont even have to run a zone alarm scan for the Scan Results window to pop up telling me I have the Virus.Win32.Nimnul.a virus.
Im thinking of uninstalling zone alarm and re-installing. Im a complete newbie to this. What should I do.

Ugly incident mars All Blacks' win
The world champion All Blacks' long unbeaten streak was sullied by the second ugly on-field incident on their European tour during a 33-10 win over Wales in Cardiff.
Andrew Hore is the man under scrutiny, with coach Steve Hansen admitting the veteran hooker would "probably" be cited after decking Welsh lock Bradley Davies with a swinging arm to the side of the head from behind just 28 seconds into Saturday night's match.
It came two weeks after flanker Adam Thomson was suspended for stamping on the head of Scotland's Alasdair Strokosch during his team's 51-22 win at Edinburgh.
The International Rugby Board has indicated it will appeal the length of that ban as unduly lenient.
The All Blacks' victory extended their winning streak against Wales to 59 years while taking their unbeaten run to 20 against all nations.
But the Hore incident took gloss off their success as Davies was later admitted to hospital with concussion.
"We'll leave the citing commissioner to have a look at it," said Wales's Kiwi coach Warren Gatland.
"I haven't had a good look at the incident involving Bradley Davies but I think he has been hit from behind...he doesn't know exactly where he is right now.
"You don't associate the All Blacks with cheap shots and I hope it's not the case. Brad's gone down in a heap. Fingers crossed that he recovers."
Hansen was guarded in his reaction as he had only seen one replay.
"It looked like he (Hore) went to get him out of the way and clearly something's happened.
"It's unfortunate that it's happened and no doubt it will be talked about."
The All Blacks wasted little time in calling up hooker Hika Elliot and uncapped fly-half Tom Taylor as cover for their season-ending Test against England at Twickenham next Saturday.
Elliot came in after playing on the New Zealand Maori side that finished a three-match tour of England with victory over Canada at Oxford on Saturday.
He has a great chance of taking the field against England with Hore facing a possible ban and fellow frontline rake Keven Mealamu nursing a calf muscle injury.
Taylor will provide back-up for Dan Carter, who missed the win over Wales because of an Achilles problem.
Aaron Cruden took over the No.10 jersey against Wales and played superbly while kicking seven goals from seven attempts for 18 points, but went off midway through the second half after tightening up.
Three tries, to forwards Liam Messam, Tony Woodcock and Luke Romano inside the first 50 minutes pushed New Zealand out to 33-0 ahead before the injury-ravaged hosts dominated the last half hour to cross twice.
The result was no surprise, the All Blacks having dealt comfortably with Scotland and Italy earlier this month while the Welsh were coming off losses to Argentina and Samoa.
However, the late fight of the hosts was impressive, having trailed 23-0 at halftime and lost three players to injury inside the first 20 minutes to add to their considerable injury woes.
New Zealand captain and flanker Richie McCaw, man-of-the-match after another dominant display at the breakdown, credited Wales with not buckling.
"They fronted up. It was a good physical battle and one of the more physical I've been involved in for a while," he said.
"They stuck to their guns, but we didn't help by giving them some ball to attack with.
"But to win by 23 points in a place like this is a great result."

Carter working with Astros to break out of skid
By Brian McTaggart / MLB.com
MINNEAPOLIS -- Astros manager Bo Porter said outfielder/designated hitter Chris Carter has been putting in extra work in the cage with hitting coach John Mallee in recent days in an effort to try to break out of his slump. Carter was 3-for-38 (.079) entering Sunday's game against the Twins.
"He's started to get out of his legs a little bit, and it's something Mallee and I have talked about," Porter said. "I know they spent time the last couple of days down in the cage. I thought he swung the bat really well [Saturday]. He didn't have any hits to show for it, but he barreled some balls up.
"The work him and Mallee are putting in, in the cage, getting him back into his legs, that will get him back on track. It's time for the streak to go the other way."
And when Carter gets hot, he is as dangerous as it gets. He leads the club with 19 home runs and 46 runs scored, and he is second on the team behind Matt Dominguez with 51 RBIs. He has set career highs in nearly every offensive category this year.
"When he's hot, he can carry us," Porter said.
Grossman hits his way back into leadoff spot
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Astros moved rookie outfielder Robbie Grossman back to the leadoff spot for Sunday's series finale against the Twins, and he did not skip a beat by going 2-for-5 to stretch his hitting streak to seven games.
Grossman, who had been hitting primarily at the bottom of the order in the past week, is batting .480 (12-for-25) during his streak and has reached base safely in 16 consecutive games, during which he is hitting .311.
"I think it more has to do with the way Grossman has been swinging the bat," manager Bo Porter said on moving Grossman to the top before Sunday's game. "Once you go through the lineup once, it's almost like [Jonathan] Villar, Grossman and [Jose] Altuve are hitting 1-2-3."
Grossman spent about a month with the Astros earlier this year and struggled, hitting .198 in 111 at-bats in that span while batting mostly leadoff. Entering Sunday, Grossman was hitting .204 in the leadoff spot and .381 in the ninth spot.
"I think he went back down [to the Minors] and came up with a little bit better idea of what it takes to be successful here, and we're seeing the results of a guy playing with confidence," Porter said.
"Your first stint when you come up, you're trying to figure out what to expect, how the league is going to pitch you, how are they going to try to get you out. He had a chance to step back and think about it and make adjustments, and he's made some really good adjustments, and that's why he's having the success he's having."
Porter in touch with Hall of Famer Parcells
MINNEAPOLIS -- Astros manager Bo Porter exchanged a few text messages the last few days with close friend and two-time Super Bowl-winning football coach Bill Parcells, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday in Canton, Ohio.
"I'm pretty sure his phone was blowing up messages," Porter said. "We did exchange some text messages. It's a great honor, and it couldn't have happened to a better man. You look at not just the success he's had from a coaching standpoint, but the impact he's been able to have on the number of people in which he's been able to touch, which is a true testament to what it is he means to the sports world in general, not just football."
Porter, a former football player at the University of Iowa, and Parcells struck up a friendship a few years ago in Jupiter, Fla., when Parcells would visit former Cardinals manager Tony La Russa, a friend. The Cardinals and Marlins share a spring facility, and Porter soon befriended him, too.
While he did not have a chance to see Parcells' acceptance speech in its entirety, Porter plans to find some time to watch it soon.
Porter spent some time with Parcells prior to Spring Training and has an inspirational quote from the football coach inside the clubhouse at Minute Maid Park.
"Throughout the course of the year, I'll wake up at 7 o'clock in the morning, and there will be a text message from him with inspiration, motivation saying, 'Keep your head up. It's going to be all right, and you're doing the right thing' kind of stuff," Porter said.

Ricoh, a maker of digital office equipment, plans to launch this year unified communications hardware that will use Vidyo's video-conferencing technology.
Vidyo CEO Ofer Shapiro said in an interview Monday that Japan-based Ricoh would use the software maker's product in a portable UC device and a video-conferencing system for an office or conference room. The new products are scheduled to be available this year.
The deal is a long-term agreement that calls for a "per unit royalty arrangement" for use of Vidyo software, Shapiro said, declining to provide details. The agreement marks Ricoh's entry into video conferencing, which will be part of its unified communications unit. The company expects its UC business to reach $1.25 billion in revenue by 2015.
Vidyo announcing the latest deal two months after unveiling an agreement with Japanese carrier KDDI, which will offer Vidyo-based video conferencing services to its customers. Vidyo's technology also is licensed by Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, Teliris, and Google.
In January, Vidyo released a plug-in for IBM's Lotus SameTime. The Vidyo software makes it possible for users of IBM's UC platform to do multi-point videoconferencing as easily as they move into voice communications from an instant messaging session, according to Vidyo.
Vidyo positions its software as a less expensive alternative to Cisco's telepresence products for business. Vidyo claims its video router architecture running on commodity servers make for a cheaper system than using Cisco proprietary technology.
Vidyo released its video-conferencing system a year ago. A full-fledged system, including software, high-definition cameras and screens, high-quality audio, and the traffic-shaping Vidyo router, costs from $25,000 to $30,000. A high-end Cisco telepresence system can run $250,000.
Vidyo uses the public Internet as its transport mechanism. The company recommends at last a 2 Mb per second connections.
Gartner predicts that by 2015, more than 200 million people worldwide will have desktop videoconferencing capabilities at work. Cisco is also going after the consumer market. Last October, the company debuted Umi (pronounced You-me), which comprises a video camera and device that sit between a broadband connection and a flat-panel TV. The system costs $600, plus a monthly service charge of $25 for unlimited video calling.

DES MOINES, IA (AP) – The California Lottery has announced at least one winning ticket was sold in Chino Hills.

If no one wins the jackpot, the estimated jackpot for Saturday's drawing will increase to $2 billion, with a cash value of $1.24 billion.

This weekend my family and I were out walking on the beach at Old Hunstanton In Norfolk, when my nephew found a skull in a rock pool. I wondered if it may of been disturbed from peat which can be found at the holme beach less than a mile away from where i found it, as we have had some very stond winds resulting in big tides. I may also explain the colour and condition its in?
I have looked into it and it seems like it could be a wildboard skull. This link http://t.co/jTaTm4AD shows it perfectly.
So any further ideas?
I'm sorry I can't see the images on that link. Your photos show what I would consider a Wild Boar or at least a hybrid or an ancient, rustic breed.
Please compare wild and domestic boar skulls on this page.
Best wishes,
Thats whatwe thought, any idea on how we can tell how old it is?
Very nice skull , not easy to tell the age , but it seems very well preserved, with nice dark staining
If the skull came out of the peat it could be very old - the area is well known for its quaternary fossils such as the West Runton mammoth. The best people to approach initially would be the appropriate department of Norfolk Museums.

A look at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center's financial disclosures throws doubt on the hospital's claims of being under-reimbursed for providing indigent health care.
Seven months after it was due—and three months after SFR requested it [news, April 13: "Information, Please"], Christus produced a copy of its Form 990, the basic tax disclosure form required of all nonprofits. The form reveals that, between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010, the hospital received a "surplus" of $3.2 million in federal Medicare money. A note on the form explains that the hospital "reinvests all surplus funds back in to the communities we serve through expanded health services, new technologies and better facilities."
Christus spokesman Arturo Delgado has told SFR in the past that Medicare under-reimburses the hospital, which is part of why it relies on Santa Fe County to pay the difference. Christus has cut funding it disburses to the community this year, citing a shortfall in indigent care money.
"The issue of St. Vincent's profits from 2009 should be questioned by the community in terms of how much of that money is being put back into services," Santa Fe County Commissioner Liz Stefanics says.
Delgado did not respond to requests for comment before press time.

Blackout Shades & Blinds
- Best choice for complete darkness
- Blocks 99% of incoming light
- Great for bedrooms and home theaters
- Tight-fitting inside mounts block the most light
- Many styles to darken your space
Blackout shades and blinds block nearly all incoming light with cellular shade, roman shade, roller shade, woven wood, pleated shade, panel track and skylight choices. Although sometimes called Blackout Blinds, a light blocking blackout effect is best achieved with shades, as they block the most light with a tight-fitting inside-mounted opaque shade. Blackout Shades eliminate maximum light seepage with specially woven material or with the addition of a liner to create a darker space than the subtler Room Darkening Shades. Custom blackout blinds provide the darkest blackout experience available.

"great blinds"
By hoje from denver, co
this worked out great. compared to having blinds made and installed this came in at 30% of the price.View this product
By Dee from Middletown, PA
I have had drapes from other sites but none can compare to Blindsgalore. I wanted to try custom made curtains but knew the expense would be outrageous for a company to come to your home. After ordering samples I decided to take the plunge. They are absolutely gorgeous! We went with the Bali since I needed a color that I only saw in the Bali. Love the grommets. I will be ordering for other windows in a few months.View this product
