This summer GeekTech told you about a cool felt tip printer, which was made out of Lego bricks. Now another hacker has come up with an even more advanced Lego printer, using a three Mindstorm NXT bricks and nine NXT motors. A 3D Lego printer!
The printer, dubbed the MakerLegoBot, is made from a giant 2400 Lego bricks and uses a Java application. You submit a MLCAD file (that's Mike's Lego Computer-Aided Design) of what you want to "print" to the Java application, and it will convert the file into something the printer can build (out of Lego, of course). The instructions are sent via USB.
The printer base rotates in order to build the file layer by layer and make objects up to 12 bricks tall. The big grey wall on the back is for storing all its bricks, ready for building. It works with 1x2, 2x2, 3x2, 4x2, and 8x2 Lego bricks so far.
The BattleBricks creator also points out that it took so many bricks to complete this project that he ran out at one point (the good people of Lego sent him a "ton" of additional bricks so he could finish it off).
Check out the video, and if you want to give it a go, the instructions are also available on the MakerLegoBot website.
Even though you can't do any of your serious work with the printer, at least making things like houses or spaceships with your Lego blocks is less time consuming.

Subregion: South (Emiliano Zapata)
The south side of downtown Puerto Vallarta is a vibrant region that offers a number of different real estate options for those interested in living right downtown and close to the beach. Also commonly known as Romantic Zone, or Zona Romántica, Downtown or Centro South, Olas Altas or Emiliano Zapata, it actually is a little bit of all these names and more. This is an eclectic, funky and fun area of Vallarta.
An entire city within a city, Emiliano Zapata comprises a 9 x 9-block grid south of the Rio Cuale, waiting to be explored. It encompasses all the areas and streets mentioned above, along with many others. From elementary schools to universities, 24/7 drugstores to hospitals, humble abodes to regrettable high-rises, Romantic Zone is as multifaceted as it gets.
As the road nears the Isla Rio Cuale bridge, Emiliano Zapata's northern boundary, it turns and rises, revealing one of the colonia's busiest thoroughfares, along with the gorgeous Conchas Chinas hills as a backdrop limiting its southern edge. The Cuale river wraps around Emiliano Zapata and, along with the small Libramiento (the name for the highway that loops around downtown Vallarta) tunnel, serves as its eastern boundary. On the opposite end, it meets Los Muertos, Puerto Vallarta's most popular beach.

Family holidays in Great Lake Taupo, Kereopa-style
The Kereopas are back in the Great Lake Taupo region and this time they brought their friends along.
Raglan-based international surfer, Daniel Kereopa, and his family (partner Renee, 10 yr old daughter Nia and 12 yr old son Cabe) came back to the Great Lake Taupo region and this time they brought fellow surfers, and family friends, John Armstrong, Penelope Strictland and their daughter, Malaika, with them.
The families kicked off their weekend with a lovely visit to Taupo's weekly Saturday Riverside Market where they sampled lots of regional produce and even learned a little bit about alpaca wool spinning.
They then spent most of their time around the Wairakei Tourist Park, enjoying all the family-fun activities available in the area. The fun started at the Big Rock Family Fun Park where they got lost in the giant maze and had a ball of a time zorbing - nothing like charging at each other in a big round bubble!
Malaika loved prawn fishing, especially when Nia managed to catch a huge green prawn at Huka Prawn Park! A ride on the Hukafalls Jet next door is a thrilling way to check out the mighty Huka Falls up close. Did you know that Huka Falls is the most visited natural attraction in New Zealand?
To top off their weekend, the families took a leap of faith and hurled and swung themselves off a 47-metre high cliff at Taupo Bungy and Cliffhanger. What a natural high!
Both families will be back again to experience the many family-friendly activities available in the Great Lake Taupo region, as this weekend was only the tip of the iceberg.
Here's more ideas on what to do on your family holiday.

The Department for Education (DfE) has decided to disapply ICT from the curriculum from September, following a public consultation.
This has been a concern for stakeholders such as the Open University, which warned earlier this year that some teachers could use it as an excuse to take out all teaching of computing as it would no longer be assessed until a new curriculum is implemented – which could take more than a year.
The DfE said: "Having considered the responses to the consultation, the government has decided to proceed with disapplication.
"In this interim period, schools will still be required to teach ICT to pupils at all key stages, but teachers will have the flexibility to decide what is best for their pupils without central government prescription."
The Corporate IT Forum Education and Skills Commission shares Open University's concerns because of the possible knock-on effects on the UK's IT skills gap, and condemned the government's decision.
John Harris, chair of the Corporate IT Forum and chief architect and head of IT strategy at GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), said: "We are very disappointed that the government has not listened to our concerns about withdrawing the ICT curriculum from schools before the new computer science programme is introduced in 2014.
"While we agree that the current ICT curriculum is failing to meet the needs of employers and should be improved as a matter of urgency, we are extremely concerned that the absence of a programme of study or attainment targets for any period of time will widen the gap between the best and worst ICT teaching in schools to an 'unacceptable level', effectively condemning large numbers of children to receiving little or no ICT teaching at all.
He added: "The UK is already facing a major IT skills crisis. Disapplying the current ICT curriculum a full two years before it is replaced by a new computer science teaching programme, which will inevitably take time to become embedded within schools, will lead to even greater problems by 2020."
In contrast, BCS, The chartered Institute for IT, is convinced that the announcement will encourage schools to teach more computer science.
"We're delighted that the Department for Education has confirmed that schools will be free to teach computer science from September. We believe it is of paramount importance that every child has the chance to study computer science from primary schools onwards – with this latest move this will be true from September 2012," said Bill Mitchell, director of BCS Academy of Computing.
The institute is formally launching a network of teaching excellence in computer science – comprising schools and local universities – later this year. So far, 500 schools and 15 universities has expressed an interest in joining the network.
The DfE has now launched a public consultation on the draft regulations that will bring the disapplication decision into force.
The consultation closes on 11 July, and can be accessed here.

Danario Alexander
Missouri Senior
PROS: Has good size and speed as a long-stride runner. Has a nice hands and body control. Goes up in the air to make the grab and can adjust to throws. Uses his body to shield defenders. Can track the deep ball as well as make plays on screens. Shows some shiftiness and power as a runner after the catch.
CONS: Lacks ideal burst and struggles to get separation despite his long speed. Needs to get a better release. Inconsistent blocker that is lacking in effort at times. Needs to do a better job finishing his blocks and getting position. Will drop some passes from time to time.
OVERVIEW: Productive in Missouri's spread attack when on the field. But missed time both as a sophomore and junior because of a knee injury. Had his best year as a senior, finishing with 81 catches for 1238 yards and 11 touchdowns. That exceeded his production in the previous 3 years combined. Gets a lot of work in the slot and gets a lot of screens thrown his way. He suffered another knee injury during Senior Bowl, but is expected to be 100% by the time camps roll around.
NFL FORECAST: Alexander reminds me a lot of Michael Jenkins. He has similar size, and his long speed is impressive, but he lacks the ideal burst to get separation. But like Jenkins he can use his size to make catches in traffic. He'll be a nice possession receiver that occasionally will be able to make plays downfield. But unless he improves his route-running, I'm not sure he'll be able to consistently get separation to be more than a complementary option. He should be a solid No. 3 at the least, able to work both inside and outside in most offenses. Durability is a concern because of the two major knee surgeries on the same knee in three years. I think if you give him two years to refine his skills, he'll be able to produce for you as a starter.
ATL FORECAST: Alexander has a chance to push Jenkins for a role as a complementary receiver to White down the road. He probably wouldn't be a significant challenger right away, and would only have limited production his first two or so years. But by his third year, he should be ready to start. But it remains to be seen if he'll be a significant upgrade over Jenkins. He may be a bit more consistent than Jenkins, but he wouldn't bring anything more to the table. He can improve as a blocker, just needs to show more effort.
VALUE: The earliest he should be taken is the middle of the third round, but the knee issues probably make him a better target in the early part of the fourth round.
1-poor, 2-weak, 3-above average,4-very good, 5-elite

3 stars (out of 4)
No one can accuse Janelle Monae of aiming low. "The Electric Lady" (Atlantic) presents Parts 4 and 5 of a multi-release musical story begun on her 2007 EP "Metropolis" and acclaimed 2010 album "The ArchAndroid." The sci-fi narrative traces the journey of Monae's android alter-ego, Cindi Mayweather. The cyber-heroine's exploits – firmly in the futuristic tradition of African-American music from Sun Ra and Parliament-Funkadelic to Cannibal Ox and Monae's pals in OutKast – are matched by songs that time-travel across genre: soul, funk, jazz, reggae, rock, hip-hop, lounge, even classical. She hasn't caught up with dub step yet, but give her time. The sequencing slides one song into the next, a continuous flow on which the singer glides like an astute late-night radio DJ making era-spanning connections.
Monae is a flexible vocalist, adept at everything from Motown-inspired balladry ("It's Code") to rapping (her fiery interludes on "Ghetto Woman" and "Q.U.E.E.N."). The plot, such as it is, gets a bit murky, but it's not a requirement for enjoying the audacious music. The album is divided into two suites, each introduced by an orchestral overture that suggests a noir-movie soundtrack. In "Givin' Em What they Love," she goes toe to toe with Prince – an acknowledged inspiration – over a combustible mix of churchy organ, swaggering horns and scalding guitar. "Dance Apocalyptic" surges with girl-group harmonies, new-wave energy and a hint of country – is that a ukulele driving the rhythm?
Not everything soars quite as high. There are slack moments on this overstuffed album – some of the funk is too sleek and polite ("We Were Rock 'n' Roll"), some of the ballads too schmaltzy ("Look into My Eyes"). Monae's love of the past occasionally sinks into mere nostalgia, but not for long. If anything, there are almost too many ideas packed into these 19 songs and interludes. A key subtext of each Monae release so far is that Cindi Mayweather is a social outsider, an outcast, an outlaw. Here's one more idea to ponder: Will "The Electric Lady" establish Monae's alter-ego as the first bi-sexual African-American android pop star? No wonder Prince wanted in on the action.

PINOLE — The City Council improperly transferred $24.5 million in redevelopment assets to the city and must turn them over to the redevelopment successor agency, according to a state review.
In February 2011, the council transferred virtually the entire portfolio of real estate properties of the now-defunct Pinole Redevelopment Agency to the city in a move that anticipated the abolition of redevelopment agencies by the state. The assets included Pinole's stake in the Pinole Valley and Pinole Vista Crossing shopping properties that it sold in December 2011 for about $13.1 million to The Kivelstadt Group, which had been operating them under a ground lease with the former redevelopment agency.
The proceeds from that transaction, which include an approximately $2.35 million gain, are part of the $24.5 million in assets that must go to the successor agency, according to an Asset Transfer Review published this week by the office of state Controller John Chiang. Redevelopment successor agencies are supposed to use former redevelopment assets to satisfy bond debt and other obligations of their predecessor agencies; any remaining funds can then go to local services, and remaining property can be returned to the city if it serves a clear governmental purpose, according to state guidelines.
Another property that was part of the February 2011 transfer, a mixed-use building at 2401 San Pablo Ave., was sold by the city in July 2011 at a loss of $271,597; the controller's office recognizes that loss, deducting it from the amount of the assets to be transferred back to the successor agency.
The $24.5 million in transfers deemed unallowable by the state are part of a total of $68.3 million in assets transferred by the Pinole Redevelopment Agency between Jan. 1, 2011, and Jan. 31, 2012, according to the state review.
The state's abolition of redevelopment agencies was approved by the Legislature and signed by Gov. Jerry Brown in June 2011 and ratified by the state Supreme Court in December 2011; it went into effect Feb. 1.
The state legislation retroactively invalidates asset transfers that occurred between Jan. 1, 2011 and the demise of the redevelopment agency. Any such assets that were not committed to a third party before June 28, 2011, must be turned over to the successor agency.
Pinole Finance Director Richard Loomis deferred comment to City Manager Belinda Espinosa, who did not immediately respond to an email Thursday. City Attorney Ben Reyes deferred comment pending direction from the City Council at the next council meeting.
Besides the two shopping centers and the San Pablo Avenue mixed-use building, properties transferred by the Pinole Redevelopment Agency to the city in February 2011 included the Gateway West and Gateway East tracts on Pinole Valley Road north of Interstate 80; Pinole Shores Business Park; the historic Bank Of Pinole building; 651 Pinole Shores Drive; Pinole Youth Center and Memorial Hall; Fernandez Park Patio; public parking areas across Tennent Avenue from the youth center, behind Pear Street at Fernandez Avenue, adjacent to King Valley restaurant, and adjacent to St. Joseph School; land holding a sign near John Street; some land with public infrastructure on Fitzgerald Drive; and 10 properties from the former redevelopment agency's housing portfolio, including the Pinole Senior Village, the historic Faria House, the Collins House; a remainder parcel from the Pinole Grove senior housing; and small properties on San Pablo Avenue, Tennent Avenue and Buena Vista Drive.

Susceptible Palms
What is Phytoplasma Disease (PD), Lethal Yellowing (LY) and Texas Phoenix Palm Decline (TPPD)?
Phytoplasma Disease (PD) is a
fatal but preventable
cell wall-less bacteria that affects 39 species of palms with the most commonly affected species being Coconut Palms, Date Palms and Adonidia Palms. Lethal Yellowing (LY) and Texas Phoenix Palm Decline (TPPD) are the common names for two genetically distinct phytoplasmas that act similarly in palms by clogging the phloem tissue in the vascular system. Recently, Sabal (Cabbage) Palms and Queen Palms have been diagnosed with a phytoplasma disease too. The genetic type is unknown at this time but it is assumedto be the same as TPPD.

The exclusive providers of OTC Tree Injection Formula and the patented Tree Saver Injection System for the control of Phytoplasma Diseases in Palms including Lethal Yellowing and Texas Phoenix Palm Decline.
(561) 655-6940
or call:
PO Box 210847 Royal Palm Beach, FL 33421 (561) 655-6940 (561) 798-0445 Fax
How is this disease spread and where is is located geographically?
LY is spread by the planthopper insect Myndus
feeds by piercing the frond (leaf) and sucking out the sap in the phloem tissue. If a tree is infected with LY, the disease is ingested by Myndus
. As the insect moves from tree to tree the disease is spread.
This insect only lives in warm locations. The vector for TPPD is unknown at this time but it is also likely to be a planthopper.
Phytoplasma diseases in palms cannot be spread by pruning tools or other equipment!
LY and TPPD are currently killing palms in Florida, Texas, the Bahamas, numerous Caribbean countries, Central America, Africa and more...
Texas Phoenix Palm Decline is found only in Texas and the west coast of Florida.
Click here for a list of counties in Florida with Phytoplasma Disease.
What are the symptoms?
The symptoms vary greatly depending on palm species and cultivar but is most often associated with premature fruit drop, wilting of the inflorescence (seed/flower pod), excessive yellowing or browning of the canopy from the oldest to the newest fronds and finally death of the apical meristem (bud) of the palm.
It is important to note that some palms such as the Coconut and Adonidia Palm can easily be identified as having LY phytoplasma while other palm species are much more difficult to ID and a sample submitted to the University of Florida will be needed to confirm the disease.
Click here for a complete list of symptoms by species and photos.
Click here for information on submitting a sample for testing.
How do I protect my disease susceptible palms?
Is it expensive?
Do I need a special license?
Protecting your palms is easy through the preventative injection of OTC (oxytetracycline hydrochloride) Tree Injection Formula into the trunk of the palm 3-4 times annually. It is affordable for homeowners
and profitable for Commercial Arborists and Nurseries.

CO-OP IS IN THE GAME!! Every penny from this point forward goes to expanding the game. More summons, more monsters, more townsfolk, more customization options, more pets, more areas, more spells, more features!!
Nekro is an overhead, randomly generated action game about summoning evil forces of darkness to do your bidding!
Hailing from the era of great classics such as Myth: The Fallen Lords, Giants: Citizen Kabuto, Dungeon Keeper and more, we are creating a game rooted deep in PC gaming's history, but with all the flourishes you've come to expect from a modern experience.
Combining full HD graphics, a unique premise, solid gameplay, and tight controls Nekro can be one hell of a game - but not without you...
We love that old school gameplay with new school flare and attitude. For Nekro, we decided to combine the best elements from our favorite games of the last couple decades while adding in our own personal twist.
Nekro is a light-hearted yet dark themed game about controlling a powerful necromancer. The game's premise was created from a conversation that went something like this: "Wouldn't it be awesome if there was a game where you could just walk into an innocent town, raise a bunch of zombies, skeletons and monsters and watch while they rip the townspeople to shreds?" Then we paused and said, "Well, why isn't there?" What followed was many nights concepting, discussing and creating. "Wouldn't it be cool if the Nekro could craft his own spells, but...collecting reagents in a randomly generated world!" The cumulative result of these discussions is what you see before you.
In Nekro, you are the bad guy; a powerful necromancer able to create unthinkable horrors out of the twisted lifeless corpses of your enemy. Blood is your fuel; razing towns and slaughtering anything that opposes you is your creed. Even though you are evil, the humans of the land are corrupted, and will stop at nothing to wipe you out. You will face many enemies and challenges in the world of Nekro. Here's some of the content rich features you can expect to see in the final product:
- A completely randomized world: Never play the same game twice.
- Fully-integrated crafting system: Your spells and 'armor sets' are created with the things you find in the world...and the things you take from those within it.
- A beautiful and rich world to explore: Nekro will have a host of unique tilesets and locations. From the burning hells to the ravaged lands of the east there will always be a new place to go, and as always, all of them are randomly generated. The game will put a big emphasis on exploration and discovery. The world is teeming with things to find and enemies to conquer.
- Unique creature-based gameplay: Your summons will do your bidding but are not under your direct control. Each creature you create will have a set of behaviors unique to it. It's up to you to find the best combination of creatures to use for each situation. However, the nekro himself isn't powerless. If all else fails, you can always run intro the fray; transforming into a powerful demon and lay waste to your enemies.
- World changing events: Each faction of the game (the nekro, the humans and the neutrals) gets their own world events that happen at random and can drastically effect the outcome of a fight. The nekro casts the world into Eternal Darkness, boosting his power. The neutrals summon The Werewolves of the Full Moon, spawning deadly werewolves across the land. And the humans call upon The Crusaders of the King, sending out extremely powerful templars to hunt monsters.
- Available for PC, Mac and Linux: And completely DRM Free! (We hate it as much as you)

Here's a quick four step strategy for winning cult-hit word game Letterpress, from game designer Raph Koster, via Wired.
- Play territory not words: Instead of focusing on making the best word you can on the board, make a word that uses letters in a certain part of the board.
- Expand out: Once you've started in a certain area, keep expanding your words out from there to make the words your rival makes worth less.
- Lock vowels, extenders (ER,ED,ES,LY): If you defend these extenders, then it makes it that much harder for your competition.
- Kill when few grays left & winning. Move in for the kill when you've cornered your letters.
If you haven't played Letterpress, it's a pretty fun little game. It combines elements of Scrabble and Boggle. It is currently ranked 50th in the free gaming category of the U.S. App Store.
You get a five-by-five board of letters. And you build words using the letters. For each letter you use, it changes to your color, which is either red or blue, and you get a point. Then your opponent goes. If she uses one of your letters the color flips and she gets a point, and takes away one of your points. If you build a word with letters that surround a letter, then it becomes a solid color, which means your opponent gets no points for using the letter.
It might sound complicated, but once you start playing it's not all that tough to get the hang of.
The game comes from Loren Brichter, who made Tweetie. Tweetie was the best iPhone Twitter app on the market. Twitter eventually acquired Brichter and Tweetie. He then led all development of Twitter clients on Apple products, before leaving Twitter last year.

The Independent Game Rating System (TIGRS) has announced a new simplified ratings scheme for use by independent game developers. The new system slots games into one of three categories: Family Friendly, Teen Content, and Adult Content.
TIGRS is aimed at independent developers, those who rarely—if ever—submit their titles to the ESRB for "official" ratings. Its goal is to "communicate clearly" what a gamer will see in the game. Each of the three ratings is based on the games' violent, alcohol/drug, sexual, and miscellaneous (e.g., language, humor, gambling) content which, when combined, account for the game's final rating.
Unlike the ESRB, which requires developers to submit a reel containing representative game footage which becomes the basis for the ESRB's final rating, TIGRS relies on self-reporting by developers to assign a rating. Developers fill out a simple questionnaire to generate a rating for their game. They can either use TIGRS-provided HTML code on the developer's web site or use print-ready materials provided by TIGRS for boxes. It's a simple, streamlined system for independent developers who care about communicating the nature of their games' content.
Those who are cynical about the ratings system will point to the relative ease with which ratings are issued. It's entirely based on self-reporting, leaving no room for third-party verification that the game actually contains the kind of content the rating would indicate. Will a few mislabeled games result in fresh furor surrounding the game ratings system?
Probably not, due to the relatively small reach of independent gamers. Big box retailers such as Target and Best Buy, along with game-centric retailers like GameStop do not dabble in the independent gaming scene. Just about everything on the shelves of such stores are going to carry an official ESRB rating. In fact, many retailers are skittish enough about the ratings controversy that they wouldn't even sell a title without an ESRB-rating.
We're also talking strictly PC gaming here. Console makers are extremely unlikely to greenlight titles that haven't gone through the ESRB ratings, which means you won't see Xbox 360 or PS3 titles carrying an "Adult Content" sticker. As a result, there's little chance of an uproar developing after little Johnny's parents catch him coming home with a copy of Hentai Tentacle Massacre that an unscrupulous developer rated "Family Friendly." Rather, it's an opportunity for smaller developers to give discerning parents a little bit more information about the content of their games, just like the bigger houses.

Tree falls on house at 3210 N. Willowood Lane
On Friday, Dec. 28, 2012, shortly after 7:30 a.m., Beaumont Fire Rescue units responded to 3210 N. Willowood Lane when a tree fell onto a house and caused a small fire. The occupant of the home was able to escape without injury. The tree pulled down the electrical service to the house and caused an electrical short that burned some wiring in the house. The fire was out when firefighters arrived. The natural gas line to the house was also damaged, causing a gas leak. Several limbs penetrated the roof of the house as well.

NASHVILLE � The survival of short line railroads in the state may depend on small manufacturers and Tennessee farmers, who still use the older tracks and trains to move products in and out of rural areas.
NASHVILLE � The survival of short line railroads in the state may depend on small manufacturers and Tennessee farmers, who still use the older tracks and trains to move products in and out of rural areas.
WPLN-FM reports state officials are encouraging Tennessee farmers and manufacturers to reconsider the short line for transportation with the bottom line being that if they don�t use it, Tennessee could lose them.
Often less than a hundred miles, short line railroads are typically locally owned and operated and trains are smaller and move slower than on larger railroads. As an example, on an average day two dozen cars will pass along a short line railroad going about 20 miles an hour on its way to the Tennessee River. But on large railroads, a single CSX train for example might be 100 cars long traveling at 60 mph.
�Being in Amish country, we have to be a little wary of horse and buggies,� says engineer Craig Risner as he pulls through an intersection near Ethridge.
Ed Harlan of the Tennessee Department of Agriculture believes the short lines are an underappreciated connection to commerce that is worth keeping in business, especially in rural areas.
�To people in smaller rural counties that have been able to keep a job or a family member to keep a job, it�s pretty darn important,� he says.
He�s been traveling in Tennessee to encourage farmers to use the short lines.
�The efforts to keep the short line rail are not nostalgic efforts,� he says. �They are based on solid business and transportation issues.�
The Calcium Silicate Corp. employs a dozen workers in Maury County, where jobs are hard to come by. The company uses the short line to move calcium silicate, a powdery by-product from an old phosphate plant, in hopper cars.
Betty Runion, an employee, said the calcium silicate is used as fertilizer for sugar cane.
�We�ll ship it down to Florida, the big stuff right yonder,� she said, pointing to giant mounds of crushed material.
She said the short line is important to their business.
�Without it, I don�t think we could do what we do here,� she says. �It really is our lifeline down here.�
Most short lines were sold off by larger railroad companies in the 1980s because they were no longer profitable. In Tennessee, they�ve stayed in business with assistance from a fuel tax paid for by all trains. The tax raises $15 million, but that just goes toward keep up maintenance on the tracks.
In other areas of the country, like Texas, Pennsylvania and New York, companies are using short line to haul pipes and chemicals used for natural gas drilling.
�If you happen to be a short line that�s in and around and operating near one of these shale (gas) formations, the money that you are making is unprecedented,� said Rich Simmons, president of the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association.
But in Tennessee, most companies are still trying to get back business lost in the recession.
It�s definitely been a struggle,� says Matt Prince, manager of Tennessee Southern Railroad, which runs through Pulaski, Columbia and North Alabama.
Prince argues the short line costs less and is more fuel efficient compared to trucks, but he said farmers like the convenience of trucks that can come right to their farms and Prince can only guarantee a delivery window of several days.
�It�s hard for us to compete with just-in-time,� he says. �But we try our best to.�
When short lines close, companies sell the iron rails as scrap metal, which ensuring that the lines aren�t likely to return.
�There are lines being abandoned more times than we care to say,� Prince says.

Mayor Michael B. Coleman will ring in the new year with a new term tomorrow night.
Mayor Michael B. Coleman will ring in the new year with a new term tomorrow night.
Columbus' only mayor in the 21st century will take the oath of office for his fourth term at 11:45 p.m. at COSI, during the First Night festivities Downtown. Spokesman Dan Williamson said it will be a low-key affair.
The Democrat was first elected in 1999, began his first term as the clock turned 2000, and was re-elected most recentlyin November.
He's already in the history books as Columbus' first black mayor. He's now on track to become the city's longest-serving leader mid-way throughhis fourth term.
Mayor Maynard E. "Jack" Sensenbrenner served 14 years, from 1954 to 1960 and from 1964 to 1972. Sensenbrenner was elected four times (and defeated twice), but he entered office after winning the right to complete the unexpired term of mayor-turned-governor James A. Rhodes.

|No such thing as a small change
Presentation: Intro to Perl and LWPby hossman (Prior)
|on Mar 02, 2005 at 00:10 UTC ( #435663=perlmeditation: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
I few weeks ago my boss asked me to give a short presentation on Perl and LWP to a bunch of our developers. The audience was mainly Java/JSP folks with minimal perl exposure, and the goal of the presentation was to make them aware of some of the "quick wins" that they could achieve by writting little test scripts and utilities in Perl
I figured these slides might come in handy for someone else down the road, so I decided to post them here.
NOTE: I'm the kind of person who likes my slides to be very basic, and just display the stuff that you don't want to have to convey oraly. The majority of the information from my talk was verbal; but anyone with a good background on LWP should be able to use these slides as a starting point to give the exact same talk without much preperation.

This story comes courtesy of California Watch.
One Southern California man sent recruiters to pressure elderly people into accepting power wheelchairs so he could bill Medicare. A Los Angeles woman is accused of laundering millions of dollars in fraudulent Medicare payments through jewelry stores after ordering walkers and canes for dead people. And a crew in and around Sacramento billed Medicare for running blood tests on each other and paid patients $100 to come to clinics.
They are among California's players on the "most wanted" list of health fraud fugitives in the U.S. The list contains the names of about 170 people indicted in cases across the country.
Since the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Inspector General started the program a year and a half ago, 18 have been arrested, including one woman picked up at San Francisco International Airport.
Donald White, a spokesman for the inspector general's office, said the most-wanted effort has gotten more people looking for suspects and even resulted in one Detroit man turning himself in.
"There are a lot of people who are really fed up with the fraudsters who drain money out of needed Medicare and Medicaid programs designed for some of the most vulnerable U.S. citizens," White said. "It shows how serious the Office of Inspector General is in catching criminals who steal."
White said authorities work with international law enforcers and are seeking fugitives linked to scams that total $400 million in fraudulent payments.
Several people from the Golden State are at large, including two who were on the most-wanted list when it was unveiled in February 2011.
They include Leonard Nwafor, who was convicted of health fraud by a jury in 2008 before fleeing. According to a sentencing memorandum in his case, Nwafor ran a company called Pacific City Medical Equipment in San Fernando.
One person who worked for Nwafor approached a blind man after he left church in Fresno, offering to get him a free power wheelchair, court records say. The man provided his Medicare number, and Nwafor drew up paperwork for the order. Three doctors testified in the case that their signatures on prescriptions for power wheelchairs were forged.
Nwafor's company paid the Fresno patient recruiter $100 for each reference he provided for other Medicare recipients who would take a wheelchair. Ultimately, Nwafor got more than $500,000 from Medicare for wheelchairs that people did not need and often did not get, court records say.
Nwafor faces nine years in federal prison if he is found.
Susan Bendigo is another Californian featured on the original most-wanted list. She is one of more than 40 people accused of running or taking part in a scheme that allegedly provided impostor nurses to Medi-Cal recipients of home health services.
According to court documents, Bendigo was director of nursing for a Sante Fe Springs company, Medcare Plus Home Health Providers. The firm claimed it provided home care nurses for disabled children.
The nurses, however, were not licensed professionals. Court records say Bendigo and other employees coached them to claim to be licensed vocational nurses, if asked.
Bendigo, who was born in the Philippines, was indicted in 2009 but has not entered a plea.
Also on the most-wanted list is Ekaterina Shlykova, who is accused of running a Los Angeles jewelry store that was used to launder $53 million in payments from Medicare for medical supplies. Many were ordered for dead people and for others who did not seek the supplies, authorities say.
Shlykova initially was arrested for driver's license perjury in August 2009 related to what appeared to be a far smaller Medicare fraud scheme. At that time, authorities believed she worked with two others to bilk Medicare of $678,000 by submitting phony bills for diabetic shoes, walkers, canes and wheelchairs.
Her $25,000 bail was met, and Shlykova was released from jail. Then authorities uncovered a far larger scam.
By October 2009, authorities discovered Shlykova had 99 checkbooks, 151 bank and credit card account numbers and several shell jewelry businesses throughout Los Angeles. An amended complaint against Shlykova accuses her of 67 counts of forgery, money laundering, grand theft, conspiracy and identity theft.
In January 2010, an additional charge was added: willful failure to appear in court. Court records say Shlykova, who also goes by Marina Sekinaeva, has 20 Armenian, Russian and Georgian passports.
Another California most-wanted suspect was picked up in March 2011 at San Francisco International Airport. Zoya Belov has since signed a guilty plea to charges of health care fraud after working at a clinic that recruited patients to receive care.
The plea was based on Belov's role in drawing blood from patients and performing electrocardiograms at a Sacramento clinic. Patients were brought to the clinic by a "capper," or driver, who was paid to recruit patients who, in turn, were paid $100 to visit the clinic.
Belov is a nurse who was licensed in Russia but not in the United States. Court records say that on at least one occasion, Belov took blood from a clinic employee and represented it as a patient's. The clinic sent $2.2 million in bills to Medicare and drew $586,000 in fraudulent payments, records show.
Belov is expected to be sentenced in November. Another member of the clinic team, Dr. Lana Le Chabrier of Santa Barbara, was sentenced in July to six and a half years in prison for health care fraud. She nearly made the most-wanted list, according to prosecutors: After charges were filed, she was seized on the Canadian border with $55,000 in cash and a bottle of hair dye.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Geno Smith passed for four touchdowns, leading No. 8 West Virginia to another wild shootout win in the Big 12, this time taking out No. 11 Texas 48-45 on Saturday night.
Smith, who has 24 touchdown passes this season without an interception, hit Stedman Bailey with a 6-yard score with 10:50 left to play. Andrew Buie ran for 207 yards and two touchdowns, the second giving the Mountaineers a critical 10-point lead late.
West Virginia (5-0, 2-0) didn't seal the win until recovering an onside kick with 14 seconds left after Texas scored a touchdown on a pass from David Ash to Marquise Goodwin.
Joe Bergeron scored four touchdowns, all on short runs, for Texas (4-1, 1-1), which is 2-7 at home in conference games the since 2010.
Smith was 25-of-35 passing for 268 yards in a game he had to be sharp. Texas' aggressive defense hit him early and often and forced a second quarter fumble that the Longhorns recovered for a touchdown.
But just as he did when West Virginia ran up 70 points on Baylor a week earlier, Smith made all the big throws when the Mountaineers needed them in a game where every possession was critical. West Virginia went 5 for 5 on fourth downs.
Buie was just as important to West Virginia's ability to carve up the Texas defense. He averaged 6.7 yards against a Texas defense that continues to struggle with tackling.
The Texas defense was aggressive with its pass rush and it gave the Longhorns a chance to win.
The fumble recovery for a touchdown sparked a first-half rally that brought Texas back from a 21-7 deficit to a 28-27 halftime lead. The Longhorns forced another fumble by Smith in the fourth. But Texas couldn't capitalize when an errant snap sailed past Ash, leading to a 16-yard loss before Anthony Fera missed a 41-yard field goal attempt that would have tied the score at 41-41.
Fera, who transferred from Penn State, missed the first four games with a groin injury.
Ash, the No. 2-rate passer in the nation behind Smith, was 22 of 29 for 269 yards and one touchdown.
Bergeron scored on runs of 2, 2, 1 and 4 yards. His last score gave Texas a 38-34 lead with 29 seconds left in the third quarter before Smith and Buie marched the Mountaineers right back down the field.
Smith threw touchdown passes of 8 yards to Bailey and 40 yards to Tavon Austin in the first quarter and West Virginia led 21-7 after Buie's first touchdown run.
Texas turned momentum and awoke the record home crowd of 101,851 when Alex Okafor sacked Smith and Jackson Jeffcoat recovered in the end zone to the tie the game. Bergeron's third touchdown of the first half put Texas ahead 28-27 at halftime.
Texas chewed up nine minutes on its first drive of the third quarter, moving to a 38-yard field goal by Fera. But Smith simply worker faster and West Virginia's drives resulted in touchdowns.
Smith's second touchdown pass to Bailey put the Mountaineers up 34-31 and the teams traded the lead two more times before it was all over.

You Can't Judge it by its Cover
They say you can't judge a book by looking at the cover. But what about a magazine? I just got back from logging over 4,000 cross-country miles in a radically chopped Model A coupe when a friend emailed telling me to check out Hot Rod magazine's Road Kill on its YouTube channel.
It was truly amazing, the real-life adventure I had just completed turned out to be a classic example of life imitating art. Unknowingly, I had knocked-off Hot Rod's Rat Rod versus Lamborghini 24-hour comparo. I watched up until the rat rod ran out of gasoline when I started to imagine what the headlines would have read had this been a real-life shootout between Hot Rod and STREET RODDER. I surmised: Hot Rod drives a rat rod three miles and runs out of gas. Hot Rod rents a 600hp Lamborghini and drives it around L.A. STREET RODDER drives a hot rod 4,000 miles without a hitch. STREET RODDER drives an 840hp Drag Pak Challenger down to Lake Tahoe's shore and barbecues. It's all true, and had I known beyond writing a tech piece I was going to chronicle a road trip I would have taken more pictures.
The saga of the cross-country banzai run in the Chadly coupe shaped up fast. On July 22, 2012, I got a call from my friend Henry Mohrschadlt at Newport Classic Cars saying he'd just bought a hot rod Model A on eBay and the shipping company wanted $1,500 to haul it out to California. After finding out the chopped coupe was located close to St. Augustine, Florida, near some close childhood friends, I volunteered to fly out, and drive it home. On July 26, I was at a Coker Tire roundtable held at the STREET RODDER office in Irvine, California, where Corky Coker extended us all an open invitation to visit Coker's headquarters in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Afterward I pitched a story idea to Editor Brian Brennan for me to swing by Chattanooga, and put some 3,500 test miles on the Coker Excelsior radials we'd just discussed in the roundtable.
It was Friday afternoon, August 3, 2012, when I landed at Jacksonville International Airport. The next morning my friend Marla drove me in the pouring rain over to Hastings, Florida, to pick up the hot rod. The '30 Model A with a 7-1/2-inch chop is monikered the Chadly coupe because a cat named Chadly Johnson of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, spent three years meticulously building the car. I spoke with Johnson several times about how he'd equipped the coupe before I left for Florida. His concept was to combine a traditional hot rod with retro-looking modern technology to make the car as reliable as possible. Knowing this inspired my confidence in the car's ability to complete the trip.
For a solid, foundation Johnson bought a Pete & Jakes Deuce chassis with the 'rails pinched for a Model A. Where he sourced the car's body shell and powerplant would strike terror in the blood of any preservationist into keeping cars stock. The body on the Johnson coupe came from an unmolested parade car with original paint. For the mill Johnson plucked the 331-inch Hemi out of an extremely low-mileage '54 Chrysler New Yorker, and plopped six Holley 94s on top.
It poured rain all weekend, so I spent the time inside Marla's St. Augustine Beach garage checking the coupe over to make sure it had gear oil in its 3.23:1-geared 9-inch Ford, and '63 Corvette close-ratio Muncie four-speed. I discovered some potentially fatal bad connections on the ignition switch that were done after Johnson sold the car to its second owner in Florida. It was obvious the Stewart-Warner gauges weren't installed by the same guy who wired the car. The Hemi smoked and ran with a miss from oil wicking down the spark plug threads. When I dropped in a new set of Autolite plugs I discovered there weren't spark plug washers on the plugs I took out. I was glad I thought to check the plugs because it made a big difference, but discoveries like this were starting to concern me that there might be more surprises waiting somewhere out on the road.
The first leg of the trip took place early August 6, 2012, and was from Anastasia Island, Florida, to Chattanooga, Tennessee. The 500-mile jaunt at 2,800 rpm straight up through Georgia in record heat and random heavy rainstorms proved the bias-ply Coker Firestones to be pretty good tires. Sure, out on the highway the Firestones hunted as bias-ply are known to do, but when I locked it up hard numerous times in murderous Atlanta rush-hour traffic they stopped as good as anything. That said, it didn't hurt to have front disc brakes either. Midday August 7, I left Coker Tire shod with Excelsior radials. Leaving Chattanooga on I-24 there's a winding climb back into Georgia that heads toward Nashville. Right away the coupe had a whole new feel, it drove straight as an arrow. I felt confident to start running at 3,000-3,500 rpm. I can't tell you how fast that was, but on the steep grades I passed every new Lexus and Infiniti I could find. From Nashville the next stretch was way up to Lincoln, Nebraska, to visit "Speedy" Bill and Damon Lee at Speedway Motors. Leaving late in the evening August 9, from Lincoln, I really started to fly because I was scheduled to be at the Lug Nuts Car Show & Barbecue at South Lake Tahoe on Sunday, August 12. I showed up in Reno, Nevada, on August 11, with plenty of time to check out Hot August Nights, and then roll up to Tahoe. Early Monday morning, August 13, I headed the Chadly coupe via Death Valley down to its new home in Newport Beach, California.
