Washington says Ogando throwing well
By T.R. Sullivan / MLB.com
ARLINGTON -- Alexi Ogando had a rough outing on Tuesday night against the Rockies. He faced eight hitters and seven reached base on six hits and a walk. Ogando has allowed nine runs over 4 1/3 innings in his last five starts, but manager Ron Washington actually praised the way he threw on Tuesday night.
"Ogando is throwing the ball well," Washington said. "His velocity is good and his slider is sharp. Everything is location. He just has to get the ball in a better spot. To me last night he pitched in some bad luck, some balls falling in that could have been caught.
"He's healthy, he's throwing the ball well, the velocity is there. He just has to throw in better location and throw in better luck."
Ogando had 18 appearances going into Wednesday's games, the most in the American League. He was sixth in pitches thrown by a reliever and tied for 17th in relief innings.
"That's an excuse," Washington said of the heavy workload. "He has to do better."
Veteran Baker called up to help bullpen
ARLINGTON -- Trying to reinforce their bullpen after two rough games in Colorado, the Rangers called up right-hander Scott Baker from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday and optioned outfielder Daniel Robertson.
The move means the Rangers will only have three bench players for the next day or so while they go with an eight-man bullpen. At some point soon the Rangers will likely go with just seven relievers and possibly option pitcher Nick Martinez back to the Minors so he can start pitching every fifth day.
Baker responded by saving the bullpen, pitching 5 1/3 innings of relief after starter Colby Lewis allowed seven runs in 3 2/3 innings.
"We're just trying to get the bullpen straightened out so we're going to have to go a player short for the next couple of days," manager Ron Washington said.
Baker is an eight-year Major League veteran who spent 2005-11 as a member of the Twins rotation. He underwent Tommy John surgery in April of 2012 and did not return to the Major Leagues until late last season when he pitched in three games for the Cubs.
The Rangers signed him to a Minor League contract in Spring Training and he was 4-1 with a 3.32 ERA in six starts for Round Rock.
"It was obviously a long road," Baker said. "But I was really enjoying myself down there, it was a great group of guys. But everybody is striving to be here and it really makes it special when you endure something like this. Physically I feel as good as I ever have."
Baker, who is from Shreveport, could have become a free agent on May 1 since he was not added to the 25-man roster by that day. He said he elected to stay with the Rangers because it was close to home and he had made significant progress working with Triple-A pitching coach Brad Holman.
"It made no sense, even if there wasn't a Major League opportunity, to go anywhere else," Baker said. "This was the ideal situation."
Baker has made 162 Major League starts and four relief appearances with a record of 63-48 with a 4.14 ERA. He won a career-high 15 games with the Twins in 2009. But he will be used in relief with the Rangers.
Washington said there are no plans for Baker to replace Robbie Ross in the rotation. Ross is 0-3 with an 8.10 ERA in his last four starts.
"We haven't discussed moving anybody," Washington said.
Moreland fine after pitching
ARLINGTON -- Mitch Moreland wasn't in the lineup on Wednesday because a left-hander was on the mound for the Rockies. But the Rangers' first baseman/DH said he was fine physically after throwing 15 pitches in a scoreless relief inning against the Rockies on Tuesday night.
"I feel it in the back a little but my arm feels good," Moreland said.
Moreland pitched in college at Mississippi State and briefly during his Minor League career but this was his Major League debut on the mound. The Rangers were trailing 12-1 in the eighth when Moreland went in and retired the side in order.
"I had a blast," Moreland said. "Unfortunately the game went the way it did, but it was something I always wanted to do, something I had been begging for. I just tried to make the most of it."
Moreland threw 13 fastballs, one cut fastball and one changeup. He adhered to manager Ron Washington's strict orders not to throw breaking balls.
"I told him I was serious, just fastballs," Washington said. "But he had to cut one and he just had to try and throw one changeup."
Andrus continues climb up lineup
ARLINGTON -- Elvis Andrus continues to climb in the Rangers' lineup. Andrus, who dropped from No. 2 to the No. 9 spot on Sunday, was in the seventh hole on Wednesday. He batted eighth on Monday and Tuesday.
Andrus went into Wednesday 3-for-10 with two walks in his last three games since the demotion.
"It's getting better," manager Ron Washington said. "You can see him concentrating on his at-bats more and making sure he's not swinging at bad stuff. But he's not doing it naturally. We've got to get him back to the point where it just happens."
Michael Choice, who was in left field, was used in the No. 2 spot on Wednesday. He is the fourth different player used in that spot in the last four games. He follows Daniel Robertson, Josh Wilson and Leonys Martin.
With a left-hander on the mound for the Rockies, Washington also used second baseman Donnie Murphy in the No. 6 spot in the order. It's the eighth time Murphy has batted sixth in the order this season. He entered the game with a career .212 batting average and a .397 slugging percentage, not exactly the normal credentials for a No. 6 hitter in an American League lineup.
"Even though I have Donnie Murphy in the sixth spot, I still feel like we're going to win and Donnie Murphy is going to play a big part," Washington said. "No reservations about it."
Worth noting
• Pitcher Tanner Scheppers, on the disabled list with inflammation in his right elbow, is throwing long toss and the Rangers haven't decided when he'll go off a mound.
• Pitcher Joe Saunders, on the disabled list with a bruised left foot, said he is ready to return to the Rangers rotation after throwing 66 pitches over four innings for Double-A Frisco on Tuesday. But the Rangers have not made any decisions on if he'll need another medical rehab start or if he's ready to return to the rotation."
• Infielder Jurickson Profar, who has been sidelined since the end of Spring Training with a torn muscle in his right shoulder, has resumed throwing again and played catch on Wednesday. Profar has been having shoulder problems since the offseason but said, "I am a lot stronger than I was in Spring Training and I feel a lot better than any time in Spring Training."

Milton E. Proby Parkway Named Project of the Year
Wednesday, January 09, 2013
The Colorado chapter of the American Public Works Association (APWA) has named the recently completed Milton E. Proby Parkway as the Project of the Year. The project turned a two mile, two lane road into a four lane divided Parkway, with three bridges added to assist with less restricted traffic movements through a major intersection in the City.
"The recognition of Milton E. Proby Parkway by the State Chapter of the APWA as the 2012 Project of the Year is a great honor for the City of Colorado Springs and a testament to the tremendous regional benefit that the Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority provides. This new expressway forms the 'Gateway to the City of Colorado Springs' creating a high-speed link between the airport, I-25 and downtown Colorado Springs. The project partnerships included working with the neighborhoods, businesses, Colorado Springs Airport, Colorado Department of Transportation, and El Paso County," said City Public Works Director Helen Migchelbrink.
The award will be presented at the Annual Awards Luncheon on Monday, January 28th at the Denver Marriot South. Milton E. Proby Parkway is also featured on the cover of the January 2013 issue of the Colorado Public Works Journal.

Almost 100 million American
adults have elevated blood cholesterol levels that
put them at risk for cardiovascular disease, and
of those about 34.5 million adults are at high risk.
Take this multiple choice quiz with six questions
to see how much you know about cholesterol. Read
the question and select one answer. You will find
out if your answer is correct or incorrect. Information
about health risks and healthy choices will be provided.
What is cholesterol?
Cholesterol is needed to support the function of
all the parts of the body. However, it takes only
a small amount of cholesterol in the blood to meet
these needs. Too much cholesterol in the bloodstream
results in excess deposits in the arteries, including
the arteries of the heart, where it may result in
a narrowing or blockage signaling heart disease. A
total blood cholesterol level of under 200 mg/dL is
Cholesterol is needed to support the function of all
the parts of the body. However, it takes only a small
amount of cholesterol in the blood to meet these needs.
Too much cholesterol in the bloodstream results in excess
deposits in arteries, including the arteries of the
heart, where it may result in a narrowing or blockage
signaling heart disease. A total blood cholesterol level
of under 200 mg/dL is desirable.
The cholesterol level that is considered to be the
"bad" cholesterol is:
Cholesterol and other fats are transported in the bloodstream
in the form of particles called lipoproteins. The
two most commonly known lipoproteins are low-density
lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL).
Experts refer to the LDL as "bad" because
it contains the most cholesterol and can contribute
to the formation of plaque buildup in the arteries.
HDL cholesterol is considered "good" because
it helps to remove cholesterol from the blood, thereby
helping to prevent the fatty buildup and formation
of plaque.
What factor(s) could affect your LDL cholesterol level?
Many factors can raise your LDL cholesterol level.
Your genes (heredity) determine how fast LDL is made
and is removed from the bloodstream. You may inherit
genes that cause your LDL to rise. Eating foods high
in saturated fat (mostly found in animal products)
and cholesterol (which only comes from animal products)
may increase your LDL cholesterol level. Excess weight
may also increase your LDL cholesterol level. Other
factors such as smoking, lack of exercise, age, and
stress may also contribute to its rise.
Eating foods that are high in the following may increase
your risk of developing high blood cholesterol levels:
Saturated fats raise the blood cholesterol levels more
than any other types of foods. The best advice is
to reduce your overall fat intake. Eating less fat,
especially saturated fats and cholesterol, and eating
more unsaturated and omega-3 fatty acids may help
to decrease your blood cholesterol levels.
For those who have coronary heart disease or have
had a previous heart attack, the recommended LDL cholesterol
level (below that of the general population) should
People who have had a heart
attack are at a much higher risk for a second heart
attack. By decreasing your LDL cholesterol level
to less than 100 mg/dL you may reduce the buildup
of cholesterol and plaque in the walls of the coronary
arteries, thereby decreasing the risk for a second
heart attack. In some situations, a physician may
recommend an LDL of 70 mg/dL or less. The recommended
LDL level for the general population is less than
130 mg/dL.
To help reduce high blood cholesterol levels, you should:
A normal blood cholesterol level can reduce your risk
of developing heart disease. There are many things you
can do to affect your blood cholesterol levels. Eating
a variety of foods, especially those low in saturated
fat and cholesterol, being physically active, and maintaining
a healthy weight will help to decrease your blood cholesterol
levels. If your physician has recommended medications
to help lower your cholesterol, taking them as prescribed
along with your lifestyle changes is important.
You answered
out of 6 questions correctly.
A total blood cholesterol
level of 200 mg/dL or lower is desirable. A healthy
LDL level is less than 130 mg/dL and a healthy HDL
level is more than 40 mg/dL in men and 50mg/dL in women.
Incorporate your knowledge regarding cholesterol
into a healthy lifestyle. Examine those cholesterol
risk factors that apply to you and take steps to eliminate
or reduce the risks. It is also important that you
contact your physician about a cholesterol screening
in order to develop a personal profile.

Britney Boy Gets TV Deal
Reality TV just got a whole lot more realer! Chris Crocker, stalwart defender of Britney Spears and all-around role model for fame-hungry teens everywhere, might have just hit the big time!
Variety reports that
44 Blue Prods. has inked a development deal with Chris Crocker, the Internet superstar whose tear-filled defense of Britney Spears has generated nearly 8 million hits on YouTube in just one week.Plan is to develop a docusoap built around Crocker, a 19-year-old who lives with his grandparents in Tennessee. Even before the Britney clip, Crocker had developed a large Net audience via numerous video performances posted on MySpace.com.
"It's going to pretty much be the 'Chris Crocker experience,'" says the production company's president. "We consider him a rebel character that people will find interesting. He's going to be a TV star." We can't wait!
And if we've said it once, we've said it a million times: There is no faster way to achieve your dreams than posting a second-take video of yourself pretending to cry about insults hurled at a washed-up teen-pop starlet who has just given a completely appalling performance on a live music video awards show. It's pretty much a sure thing.

Oh, is that so? So we gotta wise guy, eh?
uhh...oh yea, so right now we have 29 wins and 44 losses. 29 plus 44 equals 73, which means we have 8 games left.
Last year we won 23 games....2 years ago, we won 33 games.
2 years ago, we won 33 games.
2 years ago, we won 33 games.
I think I made my point.
Heres our team from 2 years ago:
Eddy Curry
David Lee
Channing Frye
Nate Robinson
Steve Francis
Renaldo Balkman
Mardy Collins
Malik Rose
Randolph Morris
Kelvin Cato
Jerome James
Jared Jeffries
And now we have this years team....
Chris Duhon
Quentin Richardson
Wilson Chandler
Nate Robinson
David Lee
Eddy Curry
Jared Jeffries
Danilo Gallinari
Al Harrington*
Larry Hughes*
Chris Wilcox*
Tim Thomas*
Jamal Crawford*
Zach Randolph*
Mardy Collins*
The asterisks are there to point out the trades...
The 2006-07 team didnt really have a coach (isiah)
This year, obviously we got D'antoni
Which team had more talent?
Keep in mind that Lee and Nate Robinson are 2 years older...and we have wilson chandler that wasnt on the team then. We also added Chris Duhon.
From the perspective of the average knicks fan, we should have been a better team because we got rid of that "cancer" marbury, added a real coach, and our young players stepped up.
Well thats obviously not the case, we probably wont even win 4 more games and tie our record from 2 years ago, when Isiah Thomas was the coach.
We're supposed to be getting better..not taking steps backward. If D'antoni kept quiet and let Donnie Walsh do the trading/drafting, we would be in a better position right now.
But D'antoni had to have Gallinari (italian connect), he had to have duhorn, and he didnt want marbury on the team.
Whats next?
D'antoni pushes Donnie Walsh to draft Chris "Cottonelle soft" Bosh??
Get the heck outta here D'antoni stans...
That is all for now...thanks for your time

McDonald's Still Wants to Be the New Starbucks
McDonald's was once known as a "restaurant" where Americans could purchase, at reasonable prices, hamburgers the size and flavor of air hockey discs. Those days are gone. Fast food is a loser's game. McDonald's now aims to be the new Starbucks.
Why? That is for the great minds of the McDonald's corporation to know. The facts are that McD's has been pushing coffee hardcore for years now—but, according to a new Bloomberg report, results have not been as smashing as Ronald would have hoped. Now, with business growth stalled and the stock price trending down, McDonald's has decided to double down on its "Order Lots of Coffee With Your Fries" strategy.
One of the chain's top priorities is boosting "coffee-driven visits," according to a document laying out the company's 2014 to 2016 U.S. strategy. In a Jan. 28 memo, U.S. operations chief Jim Johannesen and U.S. brand chief Kevin Newell exhorted franchisees to deliver "a gold-standard cup of coffee with every visit." Earlier this month, in a webcast for restaurant owners, McDonald's vowed to become the "envy" of rivals and said Starbucks Corp. (SBUX) was leading the "coffee wars."
Maybe Starbucks sells more coffee because Starbucks is a coffee shop and McDonald's is a restaurant whose signature burger features three buns slathered in nasty Russian dressing mixed with mayo and who wants to drink coffee with that? Just at thought.

SANDY, Utah - Real Salt Lake's Kyle Beckerman, Tony Beltran and Nick Rimando were crowned 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup champions on Sunday, with the U.S beating Panama 1-0 in the tournament final at Soldier Field to take home the regional title.
Beckerman and Rimando went the full 90 for the U.S., while Beltran did not appear off the bench for the U.S.
Beckerman and Rimando were two of the top American performers in the tournament, both starting five of the U.S.'s six matches and turning in solid performances across the board. Beltran only saw action in one game, starting and playing the full 90 in the U.S.'s 4-1 win over Cuba at Real Salt Lake's Rio Tinto Stadium on July 13.
All three players will fly from Chicago to Kansas City later on Monday ahead of Wednesday's AT&T MLS All-Star Game against Italian side AS Roma. All will return to RSL following Wednesday's All-Star contest and ahead of Saturday's decisive Rocky Mountain Cup Presented by Mark Miller Subaru match at the rival Colorado Rapids.

SAN JOSE, CA -- JULY 2013 -- Global VR's 3D arcade game, The Swarm, occupies a very unique space in the out-of-home entertainment market. Players can choose to play the game in either 2D or 3D. To the best of our knowledge, this player option is the first of its kind and has received rave reviews from distributors, operators, and most importantly players. To understand why this game has captured the imagination of players and has delighted operators, it would be helpful to understand 3D itself and why people have waited for its commercial success.
There always seems to be lot of conversation about the benefits of a 3D entertainment experience but manufacturers and content creators have been reluctant to invest in the format. They have questioned whether people would agree to wear 3D glasses and pay a little more for the experience. That said, there is little doubt that 3D entertainment has been a source of intrigue. Many have spent decades trying to find the right combination of content and hardware in order to unequivocally demonstrate the value of this immersive platform.
In order to gain a clear perspective on the subject, a little 3D history might be in order. 3D is not a new platform; quite the contrary. 3D was first introduced in 1838 by Sir Charles Wheatstone who provided viewers the chance to see things in 3D by using a stereoscopic headset to see two images seated side by side. This technology was perfected by William Friese Green who filed for a U.S. patent in 1894.
In 1915 the first green/red glasses test was done which set the stage for the screening of the 1st 3D movie, Power of Love in 1920. Unfortunately, this is a lost movie but its screening was the beginning of commercial products being released in 3D none of which had much success in the market.
1952-1955 saw a boom in 3D content. In fact, 3D aficionados refer to this time period as the "Golden Era" of 3D. Using mainly red/green glasses technology many 3D movies were produced and released. The first such movie was "Bwana Devil" from United Artists that could be seen all across the US in 1952. One year later, in 1953, came the 3D movie "House of Wax" which also featured stereophonic sound. Alfred Hitchcock produced his film "Dial M for Murder" in 3D, but for the purpose of maximizing profits the movie was released in 2D because not all cinemas were able to display 3D films.
The 1960-1980s was dubbed the "Revival Era" for 3D. There were advancements made in technology however costs were still high. In fact, "Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone" released in the early '80s, was the most expensive 3D movie to be produced to that point. The cost equaled that of "Star Wars" but did not enjoy the same commercial success. Other notable releases were "Jaws 3D," "Friday the 13th Part III," and the movie that revived the craze, "Comin' At Ya," a campy spaghetti western.
We are now in the era of "Rebirth of 3D" or "Mainstream Resurgence". IMAX films made their way into main stream entertainment by producing non-fiction movies shown only in specific theaters. This impressive format catapulted audiences into 3D-worlds not accessible by most of us. The success of this format is largely due to IMAX technology that reduced eye fatigue sometimes experienced using other 3D formats. IMAX was embraced by Walt Disney who, in 1986, released "Captain EO," the F. Coppola / Michael Jackson collaboration, which entertained viewers from around the world for many years. Canada also engaged viewers by producing an attraction at the 1986 World's Fair. This IMAX feature was the first to use polarized lens technology.
In 2003 The Academy Award winning director/producer, James Cameron, released a documentary called "Ghosts of the Abyss," guiding viewers on a 3D tour of the Titanic. This technology became the foundation for the technology he used in the making of the 2009 blockbuster "Avatar."
This sensational production was the catalysis for the onslaught of 3D releases, products, and the move to broadcast 3D TV. In 2011-2012 more than 70 3D movies were released including "Life of Pi," "Prometheus," "The Hobbit," and a remake of "Finding Nemo." Direct TV, Comcast, and a host of TV Channels around the globe now provide 3D content which is seen on 3DHD TV's manufactured by Panasonic, Vizio, Philips, Sony, Samsung and others. 3D gaming systems are now front and center among the offerings of industry leaders such and Sony and Nintendo. Recent surveys by hardware manufacturers have revealed very interesting information which suggests that 3D is here to stay.
To understand a bit more about audiences and their viewing preferences, a U.S. survey of 3,065 participants was conducted. They were asked what their viewing preferences were, 3D or 2D. As you see there is 0% who wanted to only view entertainment in 2D.
3D standards are now in place to help make developing 3D content quicker and easier. It is also easier for audiences to view their games, movies, and TV as 3D glasses are cheap and easy to get. Almost all movie theatre chains are able to provide 3D experiences to their audience. That's quite a change from the previous 10 years where less than 30% were able to advertise 3D. With the exception of IMAX, most 3D theaters and products use circular polarized lens technology such as RealDmt. This makes it easy for people to watch movies, TV, and play games using the same pair of glasses.
Back to The Swarm. It would seem that GLOBAL VR is betting on the format to be successful BUT also understands that there are those, who for whatever reason do not prefer playing video games in 3D. That's OK ... This game allows players to choose their desired play mode; 3D or 2D. Modes are changed from one to the other with a simple touch of a button. Everyone gets what he wants. It's an obvious solution to an age old problem. But what's even better is that owners of this product do not have to pay more for the luxury of having this game in 3D. It is available out of the box. 3D technology has made major strides and is now a very affordable format which makes it easy to offer the game (and kits) at prices much less than people would expect.
It won't be long before there is a flood of 3D games making their way to family entertainment centers, arcades, and other places video games are found. What we know for sure is that people love new things that are fun. It gets them out of their house, sharing with friends and spending time and money on these entertainment opportunities. The Swarm is both of these and more.

The Act, known more formally as H.R.
6304 and born after months of negotiations, represents a "bipartisan
compromise" over similar legislation that died on the House floor
last February.
Much of the negotiations revolved
around the thorny issue of "telecom immunity," which if included would kill the
40+ lawsuits currently in progress accusing communications providers of
assisting the Bush Administration in an illegal, post-9/11 surveillance
program. As the bill currently stands, a court review will determine if
providers received a presidential order requesting the wiretaps – regardless of
whether or not the correct warrants were filed – and then drop all pending litigation if that condition was met.
The "warrantless wiretapping" program, initiated by
the Bush Administration in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist
attacks, ran for almost six years until it was discovered by the New York
With time running out on the
country's surveillance laws – current versions of the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act, which governs the nation's surveillance activities, are set
to expire in August – Congress has little time to negotiate. The Bush
Administration previously took a hard-line stance against FISA updates that
failed to include a provision for telecom immunity, although it was reported
earlier this year that the White House decided to relax its stance.
The FISA Amendments Act "balances
the needs of our intelligence community with Americans' civil liberties, and
provides critical new oversight and accountability requirements," said House
Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.
"The House of Representatives today
has fallen down on the job," said the Electronic Frontier Foundation activist
Hugh D'Andrade. "By passing the FISA Amendments Act … [the House] voted to give
this lame duck President an undeserved parting gift by passing immunity for
telecoms that helped the President violate the Constitution by participating in
the NSA's massive and illegal spying program."
"Immunity for telecom giants that
secretly assisted in the NSA's warrantless surveillance undermines the rule of
law and the privacy of every American," said EFF Senior Staff Attorney Kevin
Bankston. "We are deeply disappointed that the House Leadership, which was so

Cooking Architecture
Cooking Architecture is the space where we bring together and share our experiences within the cultures of food and architecture. Our hope is that while simultaneously experimenting with the making of the two, we will find places of intersection.
We love discovering new recipes, creating communal meals, and sharing our passions with friends and family. Experiment, don't follow all the rules, share your ideas, and let us know how it works out.

SI.comChris Bosh. Only five insiders believe Bosh will re-sign with Toronto. Yet, I view this as a positive sign for Raptors, because those five votes offset widespread speculation that Bosh is certain to leave this summer. The Raptors can pay him close to $30 million more than other teams over the length of a six-year contract, compared to the five years with smaller annual raises he would receive elsewhere. That $30 million cannot be dismissed amid gloomy projections of salary cutbacks when the next collective bargaining agreement is installed in 2011-12. Bosh may never be able to make up that money in future contracts.
"Here's the thing people don't know about him," an Eastern team president said of Bosh. "He wants to be a star. He wants to be the No. 1 guy."
If true, then that's another reason for him to remain with Toronto, as opposed to becoming the No. 2 option to Wade in Miami (or to Dirk Nowitzki in Dallas via a sign-and-trade).
Regardless of how Bosh may view himself, the prevailing opinion around the league is that he cannot be the top player of a championship team.
"I don't think Chris Bosh is a No. 1 guy," a Western personnel executive said. "For him to be really successful -- and he may not be willing to admit this -- he needs to be with another guy. If he goes to Miami, I think that fits his personality because Wade provides the best match [as a perimeter teammate] for him, but again, a lot of guys can't admit to things like that.
"Almost everybody at the top of this free-agent class is a wing player, but Bosh is the one big man that's coveted and could fit in with a lot of different teams," this Western exec added. "What I've heard through the grapevine is that the only cold-weather city he's going to consider playing in is Toronto."
So much of this free-agent forecasting takes on the sound of pop-psychology analysis, as the executives try to evaluate a player's ambitions as well as his style of play.
"He could stay because they can pay him more than anyone," an Eastern team executive said of Bosh. "I always say it takes more for a guy to leave than to stay. With Bosh, you've got to give the guy the max or he's walking, but he's not a max player, I don't think. On the other hand, I really don't think he wants to carry a team. He says otherwise, and it sounds like he loves being the [No. 1] guy in Toronto, but I'm not buying that. I personally think he doesn't want to carry a contending team day after day, that he doesn't want that pressure. So looking at it that way, I could see him playing with Wade or Derrick Rose [of the Bulls, who have the cap space to make a run at Bosh]."
"I think he gets lured down to South Beach," said an agent, who obviously doesn't represent Bosh. "I think his emotions are up and down, that he likes it up there. But I really don't think Toronto is going to max him out. The owners are going to have a new definition of who a max guy is, and there are only eight or nine players who are at that [level]. Pau Gasol is not max, Antawn Jamison got the max when he was at Golden State, [Andrei] Kirilenko got it [from Utah]. And those deals bit those teams in the [butt] because those guys are not major stars. The max is for Tim Duncan, LeBron, D-Wade, Kobe Bryant -- that echelon. As an agent, I want as much money as I can get, but I'm telling you how the owners are looking at it."
If Bosh decides this summer he isn't going to stay in Toronto, added the agent, "I do know that Toronto will explore sign-and-trades for him so they get something in return. That's where they feel comfortable, and they probably have told his [agent] that, so that he won't just jump ship."

A bright orange softball bat sits next to the door of an 11th-story condominium overlooking Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall.
The walls of Sarasota City Commission candidate Richard Dorfman's 2,100-square-foot home are painted burnt orange and are populated with paintings by Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, among other pieces of pop art.
Sixty-one-year-old Dorfman sits on his couch under a Tom Wesselman painting on a recent afternoon — high above the neighborhoods he'll canvass the following day. He'll begin at 10 a.m., knocking on doors and meeting potential constituents.
From his balcony, Dorfman can see the beginning of North Tamiami Trail. The poorly developed stretch of highway leading to the airport is the backbone of his candidacy.
"If a city doesn't continue to grow, a city will die," Dorfman said.
Current zoning regulations along the trail discourage development because they are too stringent and use out-dated jargon, Dorfman said. The vocal groups of residents who oppose changing land-use restrictions, or particular development proposals in the area, don't see the long-term benefit of allowing more development.
Encouraging commercial development within city boundaries expands the local tax-base and expands the government's ability to provide neighborhood beautification services, and it displaces criminal activity, he said.
"It's a domino effect," Dorfman said.
That's where young professionals fit into Dorfman's campaign.
Members of the Sarasota Young Professional Group spawned Young Advocates for Sarasota to give young professionals a political vehicle.
The group cites more affordable downtown housing and tweaking the city's noise ordinance as major issues in the March election. Dorfman has touted both initiatives.
In the late 1980s, the former National Basketball Association director of broadcasting lived in London and spent his professional career selling television rights of international sporting events, such as the FIFA World Cup.
Dorfman recalled one year when he didn't spend more than four nights in the same bed.
"I felt I lived in a constant state of catching up," Dorfman said.
But, in 2009, Dorfman chose Sarasota as his permanent home.
"It has this incredibly warm and cultural feel, and a lack of pretentiousness — and a great vibe," Dorfman said.
Dorfman said he stayed away from politics and enjoyed the vibe for a year. But, perceived inaction and turmoil within the city of Sarasota government pushed him to start attending City Commission meetings.
In 2011, Dorfman ran for the District 1 commission seat.
"I had to put my money where my mouth was," he said.
He missed the opportunity when he lost the chance at a run-off election by 16 votes, to current opponent Linda Holland.
During that election, Dorfman ran on a similar platform focused on building consensus, rather than disagreement and stagnation.
Discussion about opponents to growth and redevelopment draws a tinge of frustration from Dorfman's calm demeanor.
Dorfman spends what little free time he has outside of campaigning playing one of his four guitars or saxophone — three blues harmonicas are on the way to him in the mail. He spent the previous night watching blues artist George Worthmore play at Blue Rooster on Fourth Street.
Sarasota Commissioner Paul Caragiulo regularly accompanies Dorfman to shoot clay pigeons at Knight's Trail park.
"It's a great way to blow off steam," Dorfman said. "Make a lot of noise and break things."
He used the orange softball bat that sits next to his front door while playing in a senior softball league last year, but had to withdraw this spring to focus on his campaign, he said.

Last year I moved my sewing studio from and upstairs spare bedroom to our dining room downstairs. In our family we have a rule: If it doesn't get used in a one year period, it's tossed out. In that case, it was our dining room. We stopped using the dining room when we bought a kitchen table, so I made other use of the room: http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...m-t130975.html
That was my setup for so long. Then, DH was told that the store he manages was set for a remodel. He was told that the old counters had to be broken down and destroyed, but the contractor told him that he could save them. So, I ended up with a new stand that was designed to hold a display of laptops (so it was all set up for cords to run from layer to layer) and also a taller table that they used for their coffee maker and accessories. The tall table measures 30" x 36" and that is the exact measurement of my cutting mat! How perfect is that?? Before I had my serger on a table behind me and my machine on a plastic folding table from Wal-Mart. Now, they're both on the computer stand which is very stead. There's space behind and to the side of my machine so I can have room for sewing larger quilt tops.
The first photo is my new cutting table.
The second photo is my new sewing table.
The third and fourth photo is my new cutting table with the mat on it. It's being clamped as we're waiting for the cement to dry that's holding the mat in place.
The fifth photo is the island table that is my two daughters' sewing space, and it also holds some rulers next to my new cutting table.
The sixth photo is my new sewing table, all setup.
The seventh photo is the top of my sewing stand, filled with totes full of fabric, lol.
The eighth photo is the bottom of my sewing stand, where baskets hold WIP's and another tote...oh my!
The ninth photo is my design wall and another table, great for wrapping gifts.
The tenth photo is another tall, cutting table and shorter ironing mat, just to the right of my sewing station, so it's right at hand as I'm sewing.


text: As a few may have noticed, I've been watching Voyager episodes lately, and someone brought this to my attention. They say that Voyager is over 70,000 light years from the Alpha Quadrant, and Voyager is a vessel capable of sustained flight at Warp 9.975 (which is over 21,000 times the speed of light, or a light year every 25 minutes). So with that said, shouldn't the flight of Voyager back to the Alpha Quadrant take between 3 and 4 years, instead of 70 years like we're told?


text: Hi Jeff, sounds an interesting idea for an article :) We're right now deciding what to do with our (or should I say, the remnants of) old 16 nodes cluster. Right now, after several years of service, and two upgrades, there only remain 1 really old pIII 500MHz node, a couple of pIII 800, and 6 P4 2.4-2.6. It's been used for about 6 months now as a "batch system" for sequential jobs, mainly because most of our codes scale really bad with fast ethernet, and as such we migrated all of them to our (almost) new InfiniBand one. That said, I decided to : - donate the old pIII 500MHz node to some school or something, provided that bureaucracy doesn't get in the way... - pick up the P4s and use them to replace the oldest workstation we have here (there are still a couple of pII 300MHz around ;)). - use the remaining pIIIs as replacement, untill every workstation here is at least a pIII 800, and then donate the remaing ones. We reached a point were upgrading and renewing the cluster simply isn't economically sound. What we thought of is, imho, the best use we could find for it. Hope this helps you, have a good day, F.

Knicks SHOULD have won this game, How many times did chandler step out of bounds this year ready to shoot a 3, does he know how to play basketball? KNicks should bring back EWING.
This is basically Chandler's rookie year, so we have to give him a break. He's gonna make mistakes like this, and he's gonna have some off nights. Benching him would only shatter his confidence, especially for someone like Jeffries. He has very little offensive game, and starting him over Chandler would be plain stupid.
sadly u were right, neither was terrific, but 2-13 from da field for chandler is jst bad. the outcome was dissapointing, but im hopin we can bounce back strong against new jersey. they have been killing us during the isiah thomas regime, hopefuly we can start beating them
*btw there was a poster on here tht said jose barea of the mavs would be good, he jst dropped anotha 20+ on the spurs, props so far to whoeva called that)
Man. How does Gooden get those numbers on us? I didn't expect that output. Chandler needs to get some consistency. Rookie season or no, his numbers have been horrible this month. If you can't shoot, don't jack 7 3 pointers.
Duhon's numbers are nice. 1 board off a triple dub.
All in all, it's a game that we lost more than the Bulls won.
**** it.
i think everyone knows after watching this game who is the better player right now between Deng and Chandler. Chandler is still too young, no doubt
good to see the more ruggid Q rich, the Q rich i've been wanting to see since arriving here(no homo), needs to finish better though
Q had a bad game....and like I said eariler ...gooden was a key to the bulls success....
should have known when Vegas said this at Bulls -6.5
Knicks December going lower and lower.....
now the Knicks have to beat a top team to make up for that loss...
looks like the 4-10 december will happen
CHandler's still learning and i must admit he's made some dumb decisions but that doesnt mean we bench him for Jeffires....Chandler is in a slump right now but he'll get out of it part of the learning curve includes slumps that last a week or two maybe longer but when u learn to minimize them to a game or two thats when u start being really good in this league and he's well on his way, he jsut needs to learn that his J is streaky and that he should use his size and streght in the low post and let that open his game up....Harrington has been ballin since he came here and is showing no signs of slowing he wants to play for the knicks and D'Antoni and its showing on the court hope we re-sign him when his contract is up....Duhon has learned the in-and-outs of the system and his teammates and it shows on the court he's playing very efficiently on the court and is doing a good job as a starter....if only we get someone to help give him some rest he'll be even better.....what im disappionted in is we werent effecient down the stretch we faded when it mattered....we werent hitting any of our 3's and why we kept taking them was beyond me...Harrington was teh only one who let his inside game open his outside game we need to do more of that and play better basketball inside the last 4 minutes of games....i dont want this to linger because we have a tough road schedule coming up starting with the nets and Devin Harris
Although WC is having a really tough stretch right now, you don't want to mess with his confidence because we all know the talent is there. Allowing him to get through it and learn from it will make him better for the fufure. Yanking him now would only cause him to play more conservative and not grow. I say keep him in the starting lineup and just coach him a lil better.
Got stuck and work so I only got to see the 4th quarter. Proud of the way the boys played though. They just ran out of gas. Uptempo game and a 7 man rotation makes it hard to win games unless you are perfect. Duhon misses a triple double by one board, Q-drops 22, and Harrington adds 28 in a losing effort. It was nice to see Jeffries back on the court and Wilson is really a super-sub, high energy sixth man so he will have a tough time playing major minutes at this point in his career. Still proud of our undermanned squad!!!

O's, Blue Jays lose challenges in finale
By Brittany Ghiroli and David Wilson / MLB.com
BALTIMORE -- Both the Blue Jays and Orioles lost replay challenges in Sunday's series finale.
As the Blue Jays searched for another insurance run in the eighth inning, Jose Bautista broke for home on a ground ball by Brett Lawrie to shortstop J.J. Hardy.
Hardy fired a throw home that beat the outfielder to the plate handily. Catcher Nick Hundley applied the tag as Bautista slid headfirst across the plate and attempted to maneuver his arm around Hundley's glove. Home-plate umpire Jerry Layne called Bautista out.
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons wasted no time leaving the dugout, and after a brief discussion with Layne and a few glances back to his dugout, Gibbons challenged the call. After three minutes and 26 seconds, the call stood. The challenge was Gibbons' 21st of the year. He has won just six.
The Orioles lost their replay challenge in the bottom of the fourth inning, with the call confirmed as out at first base on center fielder Adam Jones.
Jones, leading off the inning, hit a ground ball to third base, and first baseman Edwin Encarnacion had to stretch to field Brett Lawrie's wide throw. The hustling Jones was called out on the play, although Encarnacion's foot came off the bag at one point to make it a questionable call.
Manager Buck Showalter came out to request a review and after 56 seconds, the call was confirmed. Baltimore, which trailed 2-0 at the time, is now 5-for-11 in replay reviews this year.

India to Mayan 'Doomsday' Types: Cheer Up
Many people around the world think there is a chance the world may end on Friday. They are almost definitely wrong.
Dec. 21, 2012 is when the 5,125 year-old Mayan calendar ends and some have interpreted this as a doomsday prophecy. In China, for instance, people have been buying tickets for a boat that will set sail should disaster strike (to where, exactly, we might add.) In Russia, many are stocking up on supplies to ensure they are prepared for an emergency ("Doomsday Tuna Special: Two Cans for 10 Rubles!")
In Mexico, 200,000 people are expected to flock to Chichen Itza, an ancient Mayan city, as they wait for the world to end. (Then what? They all go back home?)
In India, however, there hasn't been much commotion. Astrologers here have their own way of interpreting the movements of celestial bodies, and their reading of Dec. 21, 2012, is far more positive.
Sanjay Jumaani, a popular numerologist, rubbished rumors about an imminent apocalypse. According to his own reading, Dec. 21 is actually an auspicious day. "It is doubly governed by Jupiter," which is the planet of prosperity and wealth, Mr. Jumaani explains. There are two sets of numbers that add up to three on that date: 1(+)2 and 2(+)1 and Jupiter is associated with the number three.
"Thankfully, Mayan culture is not very well known in India. We are well-equipped with our own culture and should not see much reason to fall for such scares," he says, adding that Indians "believe a lot in their own systems."
There's more: "The numbers in the year 2012 add up to the number five, indicating that it is the year of Mercury, the planet of knowledge, speed and communication," he says.
Wealth and knowledge, what's not to like?
Bejan Daruwalla, another well-known astrologer, is of a similar opinion. He says that, if anything, the day is going to mark a "bigger, brighter and better 21st century." That's good news especially for people in India, he says, since from that day on Jupiter will also be "in the horoscope of India."
"Great days lie ahead for a mighty India," he says.
While they did receive some questions on whether the world was set to end on Friday, these weren't many. Rikhav Khimasia, another astrologer, told India Real Time that while a flurry of questions came his way ahead of 12-12-12, people seemed less bothered about 21-12-12. "Most people wanted to know if it was a good day to give birth or start new ventures and commercial activities," he says.
For others – including Sidd Coutto, an indie musician – the doomsday scare has been a source of inspiration.
"This is India and there's enough going on here to worry about. The Mayan calendar being incomplete doesn't scare educated, rational, logical, forward thinking people. Does it?" says Mr. Coutto.
The possibility that the world will end on Dec. 21 has been officially dismissed by institutions ranging from the U.S. space agency NASA to the Vatican.
When asked about what days we should be worrying about, Mr. Jumaani declined to comment, saying he is against scaremongering. "Live and let live," he says.

This is a way what is I know. But it's not pratic, we want a real solve.
I had similar problem with windows 7 x64 on T4446 , I could not adjust brightness for a few month. . But fortunately today I found Intel had its own Graphics Media Accelarator Driver for windows 7 that does the trick, no hotkey though. Here is the link to intel's driver:

I have a G530 Type 4446 which had a dodgy version of Vista because a techy at my daughters school loaded Business over Home Premium ... no!! After trawling the Lenovo site I was convinced that the machine would take W7. Alas I got the hotkey problem whereby the Fn F10 and Fn F11 keys were non-functional. Rang Lenovo tech support and was told a number of stories, all pointing to the view that the machine was designed for Vista. I trawled some more and came across this: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70994
As a very helpful Lenovo techy had already tried all of the possible energy management drivers I decided to give it a go. I was a little reluctant to play with the BIOS but I kept it on mains power, closed all other programs and ran the app.
Presto! Brightness hotkeys now work. As for the sleep and network hotkeys - well, I can live without them.
Pleased to be of help to all you other G530-4446 W7 users. Let me know if it works for you.

Addendum to above post:

Have just tried the link in above post and it is dead! You need to update the BIOS from v 1.09 to v 1.10. It is somewhere on the Lenovo site. The file is called 6get19ww.exe

Hi gizsin,
If your G530 is Type 4446, you may want to use this bios 6get19ww.exe at support page.
For your reference: G530 4446 screen resolution is not the native 1280x800 - fix released
Hope this helps.

Hmmm .... I don't know how excited I'd be to become even more international than we already are. I mean, I guess if the type of player is a Garbajosa-esque style complete with toughness and grit I'd be happy, but not of the same mold and lack of intensity of some of our current men for overseas.
Source - Click hereJesse (Ferndale, MI) - The Raptors are going to have to trade Bosh. Theres no concievable reason for him to return to Toronto. The front office has made some sloppy moves, the team is struggling, it isn't a city that will attract other big name free agents... there's just not a lot to excited about with this franchise. And letting Bosh walk for nothing, in my opinion, is just cause to fire Coloangelo. So they gotta move him, right?
J.A. Adande - Toronto would seem to be at a disadvantage for free agents, but you're thinking in American terms. To foreign players the idea of playing in Toronto isn't so bad. It didn't stop Hedo Turkoglu from going there instead of a better team in America (Portland). So I wouldn't automatically rule out Toronto as a FA destination for the ever-growing pool of international guys.

Did Life on Earth start with life forms from another planet? A new theory!
While evolution is an accepted theory of how species evolve over time, and how new species spring from existing ones, the fundamental question of what actually started life on this planet is still the subject of a lot of conjecture.
Some scientists postulate that rocks from space carrying life from other planets or perhaps asteroids landed on earth and found a favorable environment, and the evolutionary process was on!
New research indicates that microorganisms that crashed to Earth embedded in the fragments of distant planets might have been the sprouts of life on this one, according to research from Princeton University, the University of Arizona and the Centro de AstrobiologÃa (CAB) in Spain.
The researchers report in the journal Astrobiology that under certain conditions there is a high probability that life came to Earth — or spread from Earth to other planets — during the solar system's infancy when Earth and its planetary neighbors orbiting other stars would have been close enough to each other to exchange lots of solid material. The work will be presented at the 2012 European Planetary Science Congress on Sept. 25.
The findings provide the strongest support yet for "lithopanspermia," the idea that basic life forms are distributed throughout the universe via meteorite-like planetary fragments cast forth by disruptions such as volcanic eruptions and collisions with other matter. Eventually, another planetary system's gravity traps these roaming rocks, which can result in a mingling that transfers any living cargo.
Previous research on this possible phenomenon suggests that the speed with which solid matter hurtles through the cosmos makes the chances of being snagged by another object highly unlikely. But the Princeton, Arizona and CAB researchers reconsidered lithopanspermia under a low-velocity process called weak transfer wherein solid materials meander out of the orbit of one large object and happen into the orbit of another. In this case, the researchers factored in velocities 50 times slower than previous estimates, or about 100 meters per second.

In 1899, the art critic Layton Crippen complained in the New York Times that private donors and committees had been permitted to run amok, erecting all across the city a large number of "painfully ugly monuments." The very worst statues had been dumped in Central Park. "The sculptures go as far toward spoiling the Park as it is possible to spoil it," he wrote. Even worse, he lamented, no organization had "power of removal" to correct the damage that was being done.
In February 1947, Harper's Magazine published Henry L. Stimson's "The Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb." As secretary of war, Stimson had served as the chief military adviser to President Truman, and recommended the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The terms of his unrepentant apologia, an excerpt of which appears on page 35, are now familiar to us: the risk of a dud made a demonstration too risky; the human cost of a land invasion would be too high; nothing short of the bomb's awesome lethality would compel Japan to surrender. The bomb was the only option. Seventy years later, we find his reasoning unconvincing. Entirely aside from the destruction of the blasts themselves, the decision thrust the world irrevocably into a high-stakes arms race — in which, as Stimson took care to warn, the technology would proliferate, evolve, and quite possibly lead to the end of modern civilization. The first half of that forecast has long since come to pass, and the second feels as plausible as ever. Increasingly, the atmosphere seems to reflect the anxious days of the Cold War, albeit with more juvenile insults and more colorful threats. Terms once consigned to the history books — "madman theory," "brinkmanship" — have returned to the news cycle with frightening regularity. In the pages that follow, seven writers and experts survey the current nuclear landscape. Our hope is to call attention to the bomb's ever-present menace and point our way toward a world in which it finally ceases to exist.
The Ambassador Bridge arcs over the Detroit River, connecting Detroit to Windsor, Ontario, the southernmost city in Canada. Driving in from the Canadian side, where I grew up, is like viewing a panorama of the Motor City's rise and fall, visible on either side of the bridge's turquoise steel stanchions. On the right are the tubular glass towers of the Renaissance Center, headquarters of General Motors, and Michigan Central Station, the rail terminal that closed in 1988. On the left is a rusted industrial corridor — fuel tanks, docks, abandoned warehouses. I have taken this route all my life, but one morning this spring, I crossed for the first time in a truck.
But the exercise of labor is the worker's own life-activity, the manifestation of his own life. . . . He works in order to live. He does not even reckon labor as part of his life, it is rather a sacrifice of his life.

"Gun owners have long been the hypochondriacs of American politics. Over the past twenty years, the gun-rights movement has won just about every battle it has fought; states have passed at least a hundred laws loosening gun restrictions since President Obama took office. Yet the National Rifle Association has continued to insist that government confiscation of privately owned firearms is nigh. The NRA's alarmism helped maintain an active membership, but the strategy was risky: sooner or later, gun guys might have realized that they'd been had. Then came the shootings at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, and at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, followed swiftly by the nightmare the NRA had been promising for decades: a dedicated push at every level of government for new gun laws. The gun-rights movement was now that most insufferable of species: a hypochondriac taken suddenly, seriously ill."

I'd still be leery of a possible inadvertent ground. An easy way to do this is to have an extra standoff under your motherboard where it doesn't match up with a hole. Count the 8 mounting holes in your motherboard and match each of them up with the standoffs.
Another easy way to ground out your +5V line is by attaching a USB port incorrectly or attaching a USB port to a firewire header or vice-versa. Finally, you can also cause problems if you short or mis-wire the motherboard fan power connections.

Not at all the same thing. Intel CPUs have contact pads (no pins), with little metal "fingers" in the socket that press up against the pads. He damaged the socket, not the CPU.
just brew it! wrote:I've come around to that view on AMD's stock retail coolers as well. The last few I've had have been obnoxiously loud and barely able to maintain reasonable core temps under 100% load. One of 'em even had huge gouges in the base and needed to lapped down. Now I don't even bother with the stock HSFs -- if I'm building an AMD system, I make sure I've got a Coolermaster heatpipe cooler on hand for build day.
At least AMD's standard retention clip mechanism is easy to work with. Guess they learned their lesson from all the crushed CPU cores back in the Socket A era...

In 99.99% of all builds it really is a TinkerToy operation. Remember that few post "yay. it all worked automagically" while everyone who has an issue posts in gruesome detail. Don't fall for the selection bias.
Grape Flavor wrote:Maybe so, but if I end up the 1% or whatever, I'm up **** creek without a paddle aren't I? Sitting on over a grand of useless hardware with neither the skills nor the resources to figure out why it won't work.
Oh well. I'll deal with that, and post about that, whenever I decide it's finally time to pull the trigger.
Captain Ned wrote:Even thinking about Socket A HSF retention causes a severe spike in the use of CH3CH2OH. At least my ThermalTake Volcano 9 (??) used all three clipping points on both sides of the socket.
just brew it! wrote:The socket may be a lost cause. However, a large percentage of the connections on modern CPUs are actually redundant power and ground pins, since many contacts are needed to supply the huge amounts of current required. It is possible you got lucky and the damaged contacts aren't carrying any important signals.
Yeah I remember having to clamp them down with a screwdriver, that was nerve racking alright

Will Batman Celebrate International Bat Night?
International Bat Night is happening this weekend, an event that hopes to inspire people across Europe to understand more about how bats live and why they are so important to conserve. A series of presentations, exhibitions and bat walks are happening in more than 30 countries, including the UK – check out the bat walk at Harcourt Arboretum in Oxford this Thursday.
To join in the celebrations, we have delved into the ARKive collection to come up with some truly batty facts to get you in the mood for International Bat Night and to hopefully inspire you to take part in an event near you!
Batty Fact No. 1
Vampire bats use infrared sensors to detect veins on their warm-blooded prey.
In a study published in the journal Nature, researchers found that vampire bats have evolved specialised heat-sensitive nerve channels around the nose, allowing the bats to home in on "hot spots" on their prey, where the veins run close to the skin's surface. In other animals, including humans, these nerve channels are used to detect heat that would be damaging to the body at temperatures above 43ºC. However, in the vampire bat the channels in the nose have evolved to activate at a much cooler 30ºC, allowing the bat to detect the body heat of its prey. Clever stuff!
Batty Fact No. 2
The 'smallest bat in the world' prize goes to Kitti's hog-nosed bat!
Kitti's hog-nosed bat is not only the smallest bat in the world, but also the smallest mammal in existence, weighing a maximum of just 2 grams! It is also the sole living species of the family Craseonycteridae, meaning that its extinction would not only be the loss of an incredibly unique species, but an entire branch of the evolutionary tree would vanish from our planet.

text: Just wanted to share an oil analysis I just got back for my 07 DL650. The bike has just shy of 100K miles on it, engine is bone stock, never been touched other than oil changes and air filters. The oil is changed every 5K miles though this time it went further than usual. Just thought it might be interesting to other Strom owners. Still gets 55mpg, used to commute year round in stop and go traffic, two up weekend trips and day time rides in the canyons. I was expecting to see more metal content due to mileage but it wasn't present. I add about 200ml over the course of 5K miles to top off. If that... Oil Type: Ams Oil Full Syth 15/50 - Been the only oil used in the bike after the 600 mile break-in period with Dyno oil Oil Filters: Stock, K&N or WIX when available (Wix is my go to choice, I have cut open all three and they are similar with Wix having the largest number of internal pleats) Air Filter: I make my own using a modified WIX air filter glued to the stock air filter body after realizing the cost of stock was ridiculous. This has been my go to solution for the last 60K miles

By Robert Wagman
(Wednesday, January 30, 2013) - The United States men employed a squad of mostly young, Major League Soccer players and the result was a disappointing 0-0 draw with an even younger and inexperienced Canada in a friendly before 11,715 at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston last night.
The U.S. could not break down the bunker tactics of Canada.
Canada, coming off a dismal 4-0 loss to Denmark, which used mostly reserves, and not much was expected of the team. The Canadians responded, however, with a strong defensive effort. The two best players wear the MLS jerseys of D.C. United -- striker Dwayne De Rosario and central defender Dejan Jakovic.
Canada did bunker in, playing five in the midfield with only De Rosario on top. It was able to bog down the American attack coming through the middle. When the U.S. tried to attack down the wings, the resulting crosses were repeatedly high, long or both.
In the second half, U.S. coach Jürgen Klinsmann made a couple of formation changes. He went from a 4-4-2 to a more attack-minded 4-3-3, moved an offensive-minded midfielder to right defense and brought more pace into the left side. It had little effect.
About the only time the Americans looked dangerous were off set plays -- corner kicks or free kicks -- some coming from very dangerous positions, but almost all were poorly taken. When the U.S. did look to have gotten to an advantageous position, the finishing was woeful.
Klinsmann tried to put the effort in the best light. "Overall we are really pleased with what we saw the last three weeks from these guys and we want to give them a big compliment on how they worked and how much work they put in," he said. "You could see that all that work wore on their legs and they were missing the last little piece to it in creating final chances, playing the killer ball into the box and finishing things off.
"Unfortunately, we couldn't do that tonight against a very defensive-minded Canada. We tried a couple of different formations and all kinds of combinations, and it was good to see the players trying to find ways to score that one goal that didn't come."
Before the match, Klinsmann said he would like to take seven or eight players from Tuesday's roster with him to Honduras February 6 to start the final round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying. Only a couple of players looked ready for that and with several American first- teamers out injured, that could add up to a big problem.
Goalkeeper Sean Johnson - 6: A surprise starter, whom is clearly a Klinsmann favorite, made a good stop on De Rosario's early effort, getting his hands up lest he would lose his head. Not called on to do much more, but ended up being credited with four saves.
Defender Tony Beltran - 3.5: In his first international appearance, he was pretty much not ready for a prime-time effort. He could not get forward and was pulled at halftime.
Defender Omar Gonzalez - 6: He did fine tonight, winning every duel in the air, and he was rarely out of position, although he could be faulted on the De Rosario shot. He is being looked upon as a possible starter should the U.S. qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and it would have been interesting to see him put under more pressure last night.
Defender Matt Besler - 5.5: He certainly did nothing wrong and his passing out of the back was better than average, but he did not look like he is ready to challenge for a regular first-team role.
Defender Justin Morrow - 4.5: In his international debut, he was not much of a factor. He did manage to get forward a bit, but to no effect. Had a major problem marking on Canadian set pieces and it came close to costing the U.S.
Midfielder Graham Zusi - 5: As one of the few players in the squad with first-team experience, he was expected to do more. He could not make much headway against the packed Canadian midfield in a generally disappointing outing.
Midfielder Kyle Beckerman - 6.5: The most effective U.S. player. He did very well as the defensive midfielder, both in stopping some Canadian thrusts and linking up with the attack. He is a first-team player and showed why.
Midfielder Brad Davis - 5: It was hoped the veteran, playing in front of his home crowd, was to be the leader of the U.S. offense, but he wasn't. He didn't make much happen as he was almost completely shut down in the crowded midfield.
Midfielder Brad Evans - 4.5: He started the night in a pivotal role in the midfield, but he too got bogged down there and was not very effective. In the second half, as the right back, he was able to get forward, but his crossing was poor.
Forward Chris Wondolowski - 3.5: Possibly the American with the most to prove, but he didn't help his case. A big goal scorer in MLS, he never came close last night. A couple of his efforts were dismally wide or high and he was the night's biggest disappointment.
Forward Eddie Johnson - 4.5: He also never put much pressure on the Canadian defenders. He often drifted wide and made some good plays there, but not in front of the Canada net, where he was needed. Another disappointment.
Forward Joshua Gatt (46th minute for Wondolowski) 5: Brought both high energy and pace into the match, but accomplished little. Instead of bringing the ball all the way down the flank and crossing, he swung into the middle, beating the first defender, but then getting swallowed up by multiple defenders.
Midfielder Benny Feilhaber (46th minute for Beltran) - 5.5: Did his best to help break through the tight Canadian defense. To his credit, he was the most creative American, but accomplished nothing when taking two free kicks.
Forward Juan Agudelo (64th minute for Zusi) - 5.5: He looked better up front than the starters. He shows improvement, but still has a long way to go to claim a spot at the international level.
Midfielder Alejandro Bedoya (64th minute for Davis) - 4.5: He is not getting first- team playing time in Europe and it shows. He did not contribute much.
Forward Will Bruin (74th minute for Johnson) - 4.5: Not a long appearance, but with fresh legs on his home field, and with reports he was an outstanding player in the just completed training camp, he might have been expected to do much more than he did. A non-factor.
Midfielder Alfredo Morales (74th minute for Beckerman) - 5.5 A solid appearance for one of the German-Americans. Settled in quickly and looked to give another option as a backup defensive midfielder.
SoccerTimes U.S. Player of the Match: Kyle Beckerman.

UK must aim for near carbon-free power by 2020: PM
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain should get nearly all of its electricity from clean energy sources by the end of the next decade, Prime Minister Gordon Brown said on Monday.
"Virtually all electricity by 2020 (must be) from low carbon sources," Brown told a meeting of environmental activists and businessmen in London.
"We must start that transformation now. We are going to have to change quite fundamentally (the way we produce electricity)."
Brown did not define low carbon energy, but that could include technologies such as combined heat and power and carbon capture and storage (CCS) fitted to conventional coal power plants, as well as renewable energy and nuclear power.
"CCS will be a vital technology... if we have any chance to meet climate change targets," Brown said.
Britain gets less than 2 percent of all its energy needs from renewable sources like the wind, sun and plants, and about 4 percent of its electricity.
European Union leaders agreed in March to get a fifth of all energy from renewable sources by 2020.

iNspect Express is a self-contained machine vision application that runs on Teledyne DALSA Vision Systems, Smart Cameras, and industrial PCs running Windows.
It helps manufacturers ensure product quality by allowing them to easily set up machine vision applications to inspect parts and assemblies as they are being manufactured.
All types of online or offline manufacturing or production operations that require verification for quality control. iNspect Express offers a general set of common tools that can be applied across a diverse range of industries from Automotive to Pharmaceutical.
Presence/absence of features, part alignment, part measuring, package and content inspection, bead inspection, surface inspection (looking for scratches, stains or irregular features), ID verification (barcode and 2D), character reading, label inspection, color verification etc.
iNspect Express is built on a simple interface framework, with wizard-like capabilities, that guide users through the setup process. All of the complexity normally associated with vision algorithms has been carefully abstracted in favor of more logical and intuitive control.
iNspect Express can interface and process data from up to 8 cameras. These cameras can be configured for synchronous (all triggering at the same time) or asynchronous (each camera triggers independently) operation. Support for multiple cameras significantly reduces the deployment cost per camera.
Analog, Firewire or GigE cameras are supported by iNspect. Analog cameras are only supported by the Vision Appliance hardware, whereas Firewire and GigE (Teledyne DALSA Genie cameras) are also supported for PC configurations.
GigE stands for Gigabit Ethernet. These cameras are relatively new technology that use 1000BaseT Ethernet for transporting images to the vision controller. The major advantages of this technology are distance (up to 100 meters) between camera and controller and the ability to use commodity switches to build larger system configurations.
iNspect Express can supports in excess of 1,000 solutions. These solutions can be dynamically switched via I/O or network commands. Solutions can also be switched using the iNspect Express GUI.
Depending on the vision system being used, the iNspect Express GUI is accessed either through a network as a web application or locally via a desktop interface.
No problem! Our web browser interface enables you to check the status of your production line whether it is a few feet or half a world away.
Our evolving technology has been used to service manufacturers for over 20 years. Teledyne DALSA is a worldwide leader in developing and manufacturing machine vision components and systems for industrial deployment.
Not necessarily. Many manufacturers are already using PLCs for process control, so it's natural to interface the vision components with them. Other manufacturers only need to perform point inspections and for these tasks a PLC is not usually required.
iNspect Express supports several common protocols such as Modbus and Ethernet/IP, as well as direct support for many PLCs. Teledyne DALSA is also a Rockwell Automation Encompass partner.
To make setup and debug easier, iNspect Express records information (images + results) on recent passed, failed and reworked parts; It also allows users to store images that can be run on the offline emulator. This is very useful for fine tuning the application without disrupting the online process..
