Science is no quiet life. Imagination, creativity, ambition, and conflict are as vital and abundant in science as in artistic endeavors. In this collection of essays, the Nobel Prizewinning protein chemist Max Perutz writes about the pursuit of scientific knowledge, which he sees as an enterprise providing not just new facts but cause for reflection and revelation, as in a poem or painting. Max Perutz's essays explore a remarkable range of scientific topics with the lucidity and precision Perutz brought to his own pioneering work in protein crystallography. He has been hailed as an author who "makes difficult subjects intelligible and writes with the warmth, humanity, and broad culture which has always characterized the great men of science." Of his previous collection of essays, a reviewer said "They turn the world of science and medicine into a marvelous land of adventure which I was thrilled to explore in the company of this wise and human [writer]." Readers of this volume can journey to the same land, with the same delight. Max Perutz (19142002) was a brilliant scientist, a visionary of molecular biology, and a writer of elegant essays infused with humanity and wisdom. This expanded paperback edition of his very successful book I Wish I'd Made You Angry Earlier contains nine additional essays, and a warmly evocative portrait of Max by his friend and professional colleague Sir John Meurig Thomas.

(of the expanded paperback edition) (*indicates new essay) Preface Acknowledgements
The Scientific and Humane Legacy of Max Perutz (19142002) by Sir John Meurig Thomas*
My Commonplace Book Notes and References Subject Index
The following reviews were of the hardcover edition
CSHL Press
"Perutz's extraordinary historical grasp and the breadth of his personal experience and cultural perspective give his reviews an interest that often transcends that of the books themselves. He brings luminously to life such figures as Fritz Haber, Lise Meitner and Leo Szilard. He writes with wonderfully lucid precision about science and offers also a fine polemic, first read to the American Philosophical Society, on the meaning of freedom
. This is a wholly captivating book; it has warmth, wit and style, and not a dull sentence. I urge you to read, enjoy and learn."
"The essays are beautifully written, with flashes of wit and humor. Many of the essays were written for the New York Review of Books; anyone addicted to that journal, as I am, will at once get a feel for the style of these essays. I read this as a bedtime book, so I dipped into it at random. When I finally found that there was no more to read, I felt quite disappointed no more chocolates in the box!"
Nature Medicine
"Allusions to literary and classical characters abound in Perutz's essays and bear witness to his status as a true Renaissance man. In this collection creativity is only one of numerous scientific themes that are discussed with the same lucidity and precision that characterize Perutz's pioneering work on crystallography
. According to Nobel Laureate Peter Medawar (physiology or medicine, 1960), one of the many scientists profiled in this book, science at all levels of endeavour is a passionate enterprise and the pursuit of natural knowledge a sortie into the unknown. Perutz's book, which we heartily recommend to scientist and nonscientist alike, will convince its readers of the truth of this statement."

The Great Gatsby Inspired Wedding
This week's Etsy Thursday post is full of beautiful inspiration for a 1920's, art deco, vintage, Great Gatsby styled wedding. I may be a little late in sharing inspiration for The Great Gatsby since there has been a signifcant buzz in the media for some time, however the timing is perfect for me personally because I just saw the movie over the weekend! I LOVED it and on a side note I thought Leonardo DiCaprio looked amazing – in my opinion he hasn't looked this hot since his starring role in the Titanic! I recall being a huge fan of the book in high school and I probably should have read it again before seeing the movie, but that didn't stop me from loving the acting, imagery, wardrobe/styling, storyline, whimsical nature, and the wonderful flashback to the popular 20's – I am a fan! If you haven't seen the movie yet – go and see it! If you have seen it, what did you think?
I can't believe how many lovely pages of Etsy wedding finds are available to search through, so many that I had to just pick a few of my favorites from the first 15 pages (I wasn't even able to get through all the pages). The Great Gatsby inspirational wedding finds below really reminded me of the images that I saw in the movie. I really hope you enjoy this week's Etsy Thursday post!

Building Amarr Custom Garage Doors a house is pricey hence you must confirm that every detail is great May 6, 2016 at 7:41 pm. For a great result, allow me to share a few house layout common mistakes you should stay away from.
Many small rooms are less beneficial. Constructing several large multi-purpose rooms are a more elegant decision to entice extra prospective home buyers and raise home worth Jessica Griffin.
Terribly placed main bedroom. The main bedroom is your ultimate area to get back spirit after doing daily routines. You need to confirm that it is not located next to Amarr Custom Garage Doors the dining room or family room.
Building garage far off from the kitchen area is a fault. It is a standard guidance from home builders to build kitchen and garage next to each other. One thing for sure is that a growing number of home buyers fancy a property 3173 with kitchen and garage located close to each other.
Yet another frequent miscalculation in preparing a building design is dedicating a tiny space for the foyer. Spacious and bright foyer is a guarantee Amarr Custom Garage Doors to present pleasant first impression for visitors.

Insurance customers are no longer as recognizable to traditional insurers as they may have been in the past; their demographics, buying behaviors and expectations have changed markedly. To understand and remain relevant to their ever-evolving customers, insurers must call for a dramatic shift in their C-suite makeup.
The industry requires a renewed commitment to a diversity of ideas, experiences and capabilities. Insurers must actively seek out leaders with different backgrounds and experiences. In this report, Accenture explores the steps towards a much-needed C-suite makeover. These steps will allow insurers to seize the opportunities being created by changing markets, distribution strategies and customer expectations.

A Match Made In Heaven... SUNDAY BEST Season 2 Finalists Latice Crawford and Jeff Spain Are Headed to the Chapel in BET'S Brand New Reality Series 'ALMOST MARRIED' Premiering Summer 2010
10-Week Reality Series Follows The Couple Throughout Atlanta, New York, Ghana and Everywhere In Between During The Weeks Leading Up To Their Union
PASADENA, Calif., Jan. 14 -- During the last season of SUNDAY BEST, television's # 1 gospel singing competition series, Latice Crawford and Jeff Spain, two of the top 10 finalists met on the set and have been inseparable ever since. Sparked by a divine encounter, the confident and spunky bride to-be believes that God told her that her husband's name would be Jeff and she acted upon it. The laid back and smooth Jeff quickly felt the vibe and the rest is a love story in the making. ALMOST MARRIED, premiering summer 2010, will follow the relationship of two very different people with a common and strong love for God, family and music.
Latice, a preacher's daughter from Queens, New York wowed the judges week after week with her powerhouse voice and made it to the number three spot on SUNDAY BEST. Jeff, an Atlanta transplant with roots in Ghana, had no plans of auditioning for the show, but was persuaded by friends to give it a shot and came out a fan favorite. Since the taping of the show, the two have fallen madly in love and BET will be there to capture the emotional ride. ALMOST MARRIED is about highs and lows of love and fame. Making stops in Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, Nashville and Ghana, the show will capture the anxieties of meeting the parents and the intricate day-to-day lives of a faith-filled couple determined to be gospel superstars while making it to the altar or not.
ALMOST MARRIED is executive produced by D'Angela Proctor Steed and Nia T. Hill of Strange Fruit Media, the team behind television's number one gospel music competition series, SUNDAY BEST and the highly anticipated show, THE FAMILY CREWS, starring Terry Crews, best known for his role as the endearing father on EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS.

The Rothermel Foundation lecture series presents the Rev. Michael Dowd on Sunday with a talk on evolution. The free 2 p.m. program is at First Presbyterian Church on New Street in New Bern.
The Rothermel Foundation lecture series presents the Rev. Michael Dowd on Sunday with a talk on evolution.
The free 2 p.m. program is at First Presbyterian Church on New Street in New Bern.
Dowd�s multi-media lecture is �Soulful Science: An Evolutionary Theology.�
Dowd is the author of the book, �Thank God for Evolution: How the Marriage of Science and Religion Will Transform Your Life and Our World.�
According to the Rothermel website, �the presentation also will discuss how evidence-based faith can provide a realistically hopeful and inspiring vision of the future and help people live happier, healthier, more on-purpose lives.�
Dowd�s book, endorsed by six Nobel laureates and other science luminaries, noted skeptics and religious leaders, is the basis for his Rothermel lecture.
According to the website, Dowd was raised Roman Catholic. He spent five years as an anti-evolutionary fundamentalist. He earned an undergraduate degree in philosophy and biblical studies from Evangel University in Springfield, Mo. After receiving a Master of Divinity degree from Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, he was ordained in The United Church of Christ/Congregational Church.
He served in the pulpit in churches in Massachusetts, Ohio and Michigan before beginning his itinerant �evolutionary evangelistic� ministry.
With his science-writing wife, Connie Barlow, he has addressed more than 1,700 religious and secular groups across North America during 11 years of living on the road promoting the sacred side of science.
His latest project is a conversation series, �The Advent of Evolutionary Christianity.�
The Rothermel Foundation was originally funded by a bequest from Amel Rothermel of New Bern. The endowment is administered as a fund of First Presbyterian Church of New Bern. The Foundation is governed by an ecumenical Board of Trustees, appointed by the Session of First Presbyterian Church.
The Rothermel board has members from many local churches, including First Presbyterian Church, Temple B�Nai Sholem, Christ Episcopal Church, Centenary United Methodist Church, Garber United Methodist Church, St. Andrew Lutheran Church, First Baptist Church and St. Paul Catholic Church.

17-year-old Helena Muffly wrote exactly 100 years ago today:
Sunday, April 21, 1912: Went to Sunday School this afternoon. Wish I had my new hat. I'd wear it if I had.
Her middle-aged granddaughter's comments 100 years later:
Did Grandma want a hat like one of these hats that were featured in a hundred-year-old issue of Ladies Home Journal?
With the coming of summer one turns instinctively to the flowers, and there is an overwhelming desire to have them around us, in our gardens, and even on our persons. The desire to be personally adorned with them can find best expression in the use of the artificial. In these hats are shown what lovely artificial flowers can be had and at small cost.
"When Flowers Look Well on a Hat", Ladies Home Journal, June 1911

The mousse is a post dinner snack invented by the Inuit to combat the overpopulation of Alaska and Canada by large Mousses.
The Mousse itself is a large hairy mammal, a distant cousin of the Rat, that inhabits the frozen tendrils of Canadia and Alaskaland. The mousse is one of the larger varieties of Rodent, larger then a rat but smaller then Bruce Willis, with the males sporting a very fetching coatrack on their heads. When shaved, an adult mousse somewhat resembles a bald mousse. The mousse's coat can be used to make blankets, hats, stationwagons and mousse suits for bald mousses.
Mousse as a food[edit]
In the year nineteen dickety two mousse populations in Alaska were getting out of hand; it came to the point where only the desginer of the original XBox controller could hold one. Not only were the moussess's out of hand, but there were tons of the bastards! It wasn't long before local Inuit leaders decided that, for the good of the 13 people living in Alaska at the time, the moussess's would have to be ruthlessly and mercilessly culled. The citizens didn't need much persuading and the result was two weeks of slaughter and 130 million dead mousses. Faced with mountains of decomposing rodents the Alaskans did the only logical thing; pureed, froze and ate the mousses with small plastic spoons.
How to prepare your own Mousse[edit]
If you should happen to find a mousse living in your walls, or not living depending on how large your walls are, you may want to make your own mousse as a cheaper alternative to Commercial Mousse. The process is simple but time consuming.
- First: You must catch the mousse, this is easier to do if the mousse is already dead. If it isn't dead, lay a trap baited with moussenip or Naughty Mousse's Monthly and wait with an idustrial sized fly swat.
- Second: You must mulch the mousse down to a workable consistancy, as the mousse will undoubtably be larger then the standard blender this may take some time, start with the head as this will result in less resistance from the mousse. Be prepared to spend an hour or more holding the blender to the mousse, it's recommended to work over a tarp or easily washable surface, as it will be tricky to balance a mousse corpse in an active blender.
- Third: Once you have a large quantity of mousse paste you will have to strain it to remove bones and hair (which can then be used for arts and crafts purposes). Whisk the strained paste until it gains a fluffy consistancy and pour into serving bowls. Chill and eat.
Mousse Dealers[edit]
Becuase of the effort required to make good mousse most people are forced to buy commercial brands, these big name companies are able to get away with substituting various parts of the mousse with inferior or artificial substances, resulting in cheap, but shitty, mousse. In order to combat these Mousse Cartels various individuals began selling good quality mousse on the street. Usually in dark alleys to avoid detection by Mousse Patrols. Over time these Mousse Dealers became corrupted by their power and began hocking off mousse that would make you overly happy for no real reason, or cause you to see colours that don't yet exist. These pleasant side effects were induced by adding addictive substances and carpet cleaners to inferior mousse paste.
These practices resulted in a whole generation of addicts who had no idea why they needed a mousse fix. But now new laws prevent the sale of mousse by unliscened Moussees. This isn't much of a deterent though, as a liscence consists of a piece of paper with the word liscence on it, signed with an X.

Day's Best: Nobel laureate calls for release of dissident
Newly-minted Nobel laureate Mo Yan used his notoriety to call upon the Chinese government to release from prison a fellow writer who has been imprisoned for subversion.
Mo implored the government to free Liu Xiaobo, who authored pro-democracy essays.
It's a dangerous move for Mo, who won the 2012 prize for literature. We hope his calls are heeded and he doesn't suffer the same fate as that of the fellow Nobel laureate he hopes to help.

Arduino opens up for licensing
Keywords:licensing? Arduino? DIY?
The Arduino has exploded in the DIY community. Everyone knows the name, almost everyone has one, and tons of projects are made with them every day. One of the reasons Arduino does so well is because of its massive community whose members have produced detailed tutorials and documentation to help you get any project done you can think of.
Now, Arduino has announced that they are beginning a licensing programme to allow products developed within the Arduino ecosystem to carry its logo and receive its support. Called "Arduino at Heart," it allows people to be part of the Arduino community officially, receiving support and promotion from Arduino.
Several companies have already signed up, such as littleBits Electronics, Smart Citizen, Bare Conductive, Aesthetic Studio, Primo.io, and EarthMake. By being completely Arduino-compatible and Arduino-branded they will benefit from having this entire community supporting their products immediately. The tutorials and existing projects concerning Arduino will help people to use these compatible new products fully.
From the press release:
Ayah Bdeir, founder/CEO of littleBits, said: "littleBits is thrilled to be a part of the new Arduino@Heart programme. An Arduino littleBits module has been a popular request for quite a while, and we are huge fans of the Arduino ecosystem and community. The littleBits Arduino module will simultaneously increase the power of the littleBits library by adding programming capabilities and make the Arduino environment easier to get involved in by eliminating the need for soldering or wiring. We can't wait to see what people with make with it!"
There is a financial requirement of a maximum of 5% of the wholesale price. They also mention that Arduino clones, or development boards that are basically just copies of the Arduino, are not allowed in the programme.
Microcontrollers supported by Arduino at Heart:
- ATMega328 clocked at 8 or 16MHz
- ATMega1280 clocked at 16MHz
- ATMega2560 clocked at 16MHz
- ATMega32U4 clocked at 16MHz
- Caleb Kraft

Friday's NASCAR TV Mess
Here we go with the channel surfing and the DVR programming for the NASCAR at Indy weekend. This is the recently changed Friday line-up. You may choose to take notes.
SPEED starts at 1PM ET with NASCAR Live. It will be Steve Byrnes, Jeff Hammond and Larry McReynolds at the SPEED Stage for this one hour live news and information show. Randy Pemberton and Hermie Sadler will report from the garage. The fun part is next.
At 2PM, it will be SPEED carrying the early session of Sprint Cup practice. I know that this was not reflected in the SPEEDtv.com schedule, but trust me...it is there. More info on this will appear next week in a column. Byrnes, Hammond and McReynolds will actually voice-over the practice from the SPEED Stage. Bob Dillner and Wendy Venturini will be handling the interviews as reporters.
Somehow, the early Sprint Cup practice at Indy found a live national TV home.
The ESPN gang will be up next with the second half of Cup practice and it will be shown on ESPN2 at 3:30PM. The entire crew will be on-hand led by Allen Bestwick in the infield and Jerry Punch in the announce booth. This coverage will last one hour.
At 4:30PM it will be SPEED picking-up with post-practice interviews as they originate a thirty minute version of NASCAR Live. Byrnes will host with Dillner reporting and he will be joined in the garage by John Roberts.
At 5PM it is time for the Craftsman Trucks to qualify over at O'Reilly Raceway Park on the other side of Indy. Rick Allen and Phil Parsons will call the action with Ray Dunlap and Adam Alexander patrolling the garage and pit road.
It is decision time for fans as NASCAR Now is next at 6PM on ESPN2. Ryan Burr hosts from Bristol, CT with Allen Bestwick, Marty Smith and Nicole Manske reporting from The Brickyard. This is a special one hour live edition that should feature a lot of information and interviews.
Halfway through NASCAR Now, Trackside begins over on SPEED at 6:30PM. Byrnes, McReynolds, Hammond and Elliott Sadler make-up the Indy panel. Mark Martin and Travis Kvapil will be the two guests at the SPEED Stage.
Lots of fans are waiting for the final episode of Shifting Gears at 7PM on ESPN. This is Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s original production from his Hammerhead Entertainment company and is the last of five episodes. The show is one hour in length and should be well worth watching or recording.
Things get racy at 7:30PM with The Set-Up on SPEED. Krista Voda hosts this thirty minute pre-race show for the NCTS. Allen and Parsons return to call the live racing action from ORP at 7:30PM.
For those of you who missed it the first time around, the NASCAR Confidential show that looks at the inner-workings of NASCAR officials and even Race Control will re-air at 10:30PM or immediately after the NCTS race concludes on SPEED. It is well worth watching.
Weekend Notes:
Saturday at 1:30PM - McReynolds and NASCAR Performance on SPEED
Saturday at 2PM - She's back! Jenna Fryer of the AP on Tradin' Paint on SPEED
Sunday at 11AM - Tony Stewart will be a live guest on RaceDay on SPEED
We will try to keep this post updated with any changes due to weather or scheduling on Friday. This is always a hectic TV weekend with all three series in the same town at two tracks. If you see an error or something changes, please feel free to drop me an email at the address on the main page to keep us updated.
This post will serve to let you voice your opinions about the TV scheduling on this Indy Friday. Fans without the ability to record one show while watching another are going to be making tough choices between good programs. It should be very interesting to watch all of this unfold live.

Good Lord! Might be a good idea to get a dry erase board next to the tv to do a flow chart keeping up with this stuff.
By the way don't forget about Stewart's press conference at 10 a.m. CDT

Still no word on what network might carry that live. I would expect ESPNEWS to be sure, but SPEED has not made a move yet.
We will update this comments section if things change. Tony is only expected to announce his car number and sponsors for 2009.
The second driver issue is apprarently still pending as of 11PM Thursday night.

Major thank you to whoever orchestrated this last minute decision to move the first 90 minutes of Cup practice from no TV coverage at all to Speed Channel.
I'm just hoping this will continue the rest of the year and that any time ESPN can't commit to covering a practice/qualifying session live and in its entirety it will air live on Speed instead.
And then hopefully by '09 ESPN will be completely phased out of practice and qualifying altogether and we can return to the normalcy of a full season of every Cup practice and qualifying session being live on Speed every weekend.
Great first step in cooperating NASCAR TV partners, please work towards making sure this becomes a regular occurence throughout the rest of the season and that Friday is not just a one-time exception because of the magnitude of the Brickyard.

Really Bevo! You use to need it for driver changes as we headed to Daytona and mid-season...now you need it to know what channel what comes on and when. And if you don't have a dual DVR/TiVo what is not "important" and OK to miss.

A preview of the rest of the season, I suppose. sigh.
Being without a VCR, for me Speed programing generally outranks ESPN programing, cars on track outweigh interviews, and trucks outweigh Nationwide.
But I since Speed rebroadcasts Trackside most of the time I can catch the late showing on tape to watch with my breakfast.

Kasey Kahne is scheduled to be on the Regis and Kelly talk show within the next hour, probably around 9:30 or 9:40 am.
I believe it is his first individual appearance by himself on a "mainstream" talk show, so they're obviously trying to take him the Jeff Gordon route by booking him on Regis/Kelly. The other drivers who have appeared on R/K for solo interviews within the past few years are Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jeff Gordon has been a guest as well as a frequent co-host.
It'll be interesting to see if Kasey can talk "normally" in this environment without too many autopilot sponsor plugs mixed in. Hopefully he'll do well.

Simple really . The shows all have different hosts and reporters , but they all cover the very same stories in almost the exact same way . So after watching the one show of your choice , turn off the set and do something constructive .
Speaking of hosts and reporters , can anyone tell me why they speak in such an exagerated and abnormal way . Why do broadcasting schools teach this ? When drivers are interviewed they don't use AM radio voice modulation , yet they are certainly interesting to listen to .

Thanks for the info about Kasey. I just switched over from the Today Show and Kasey just came out.
Anon@9:12 said: "Jeff Gordon has been a guest as well as a frequent co-host."
For the first time ever, Jeff outranked Dale Jr in the "America's Favorite Athletes" poll they do every year in June. Jeff was 5th (behind Woods, Jordan, Favre, Kobe Bryant) and Jr. was 6th. (and Jr's former PR guy doesn't sound too happy about it in his blog!)
I wonder if all those magazine covers and "Live with Regis and Kelly" appearance finally put Jeff over the top. Jeff's been in the top 10 before, but he's always been ranked below Jr.
Good to see two NASCAR drivers in that poll, only one baseball player made it. (Jeter).

WOW - I am really realizing just how spoiled I was with having Speed at my home in Chicago. I'm working in NYC and my corp apt does not have it and I am really missing out on most things nascar!! I do have ESPN, but Speed just seems to have the majority of the programming (or ESPN's shows are on early while I'm at work and not replayed later). Guess I'm taking a break from nascar (other than the races on Sundays) for the rest of the year...this totally sucks!!

My DVR is really getting a workout this friday while I'm off trying to earn enough to pay that cable bill. It will be interesting to see the difference between how Speed and ESPN cover cup practice. If ESPN sticks with the same format as last year I will be disappointed. Hopefully they learned for their mistakes.

Aw, man...Kasey didn't make the best impression on "Live with Regis and Kelly" IMO. The phrase "pulling teeth" comes to mind, though Kelly and David Ducovny from X-Files(sp? He's the guest co-host) were very nice and tried to ask questions about his childhood and his family. The audience was also very receptive and appeared to have heard of him before, based on some of the screaming girls.
Poor Kasey was simply too nervous and barely cracked a smile (that was the bad part, he barely smiled or laughed the entire time, which made him look kind of bad), and kept fidgeting with his hands.
Maybe he'll improve...at some point. But I doubt he'll get asked back on that show unless he wins the Cup and they have to ask him back. I know Kasey is the NASCAR heartthrob (Kelly called him that on the show today), but I think Kyle Busch or Carl Edwards would be better on TV.

hey jd. it's 11:07 eastern and no stewart press conference anywhere. nothing on nascar online, espn news, espn or espn2. speed is carrying a paid advertisement for (i think) motorcycle institute.

I am watching ESPN news (which I have never done before) looking for the Stewart press conference and they show a 5 minute segment with bestwick, rusty and brad at Indy talking about this weekends 2 races (yes 2, no mention of the trucks) and I thought, "Cool they are putting some effort into it now". Then at the end bestwick says, "The tracks empty now, on thursday, but we will see lots of fans tomorrow..." (paraphrased) and I realized - its just a dang canned piece! If they were at the track to do that yesterday, why aint they there today to cover Stewart?

I don't think Tony's info was enough to alter live or scheduled programming. The info was his car number, which Marty Smith had already reported the day before.
The other info was the new sponsors, which had been leaked to the press over a week in advance.
The ESPNEWS and SportsCenter piece was taped on Thursday.
The first news on-the-air should be NASCAR Live on SPEED. The big follow-up should be NASCAR Now on ESPN2.

anon 9:15...LOL! No kidding, so much of it is repetitive I rarely bother to record, I just channel surf (not to mention, doing other things around the house.) I really don't think one misses that much....there is a such thing as 'speculation' overload, not to mention, so much of the time they pick one thing to harp on...and then when the actual race comes around, none of it has any significance at all when 'whoever' blows a tire in the first 10 laps or they think 20 tires are going to blow and it never happens. I guess I'm feeling cynical today! The 'radio' voices don't bother me that much though.

Race Talk Radio was going to broadcast Tony's press conference live on the net. For some reason they didn't get the feed and were pretty embarrassed about it. They also alluded that Speed was going to show it but couldn't get the feed either.
I'm not sure anyone saw it. NASCAR Live hasn't even brought it up so far.

@anon 10:04--I agree about Kasey :(. It's a shame...I still remember his RoTY speech, poor kid looked scared to death :(.
@stricklinfan82--agreed. I wouldn't be against having SPEED take over for the future and I also hope they're able to work together to bring us practice/HH that otherwise would be missed. We really need a network we can count on and not one that will "push" it aside if a live show or two runs over. I forget which HH it was, but there was one that was pushed to like 12:30 AM due to the Busch Race running over. I know a few folks who recorded and some east coast folks who stayed up and were pissed...because they didn't announce earlier that they'd be interrupting half way for some silly baseball show that could have waited.

I took notes and Tivo'd what I couldn't watch. What a hopscotch mess today. Thanks to the powers that be that let us see practice.
I really hope this is not a preview of the rest of the season, I want to see practice (thanks again) I just don't want to have to preprogram like I did today!I really had to work to get it all in.
Espn news didn't show the press conf here, nor did Speed - it would have been nice....

Who do players think is the NFL's most overrated coach?
As if Rex Ryan's season couldn't get any worse. According to a recent Sporting News poll of 103 players from 27 different teams, the New York Jets head coach finished a clear first when those athletes were asked to name the NFL's most overrated head coach.
Players were not allowed to vote for their own coaches in the survey, but one-third of them selected Ryan, whose blustery predictions and bombastic style seems to have worn thin around the league, especially with his Jets tied for the AFC East cellar with a 3-5 record.
MORE:Jets coach Rex Ryan still has no power in New Jersey home
"His coaching style is over the top. Some of the things he does in front of the cameras are way over the top. You put that with the New York media and he has a pretty big reputation, I guess," one AFC offensive player told the paper. "I don't even know if you'd call him overrated anymore because it's gonna be a couple of years since he was in the AFC finals. He's pretty funny, and he's a pretty good coach. But not THAT good."
New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick and Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid finished second and third, although if any of those players voting for Reid happened to survey Twitter last night, they might want to rethink that classification.
The organization also polled the same players on who the most underrated current head coach is. Atlanta' Mike Smith and Houston's Gary Kubiak tied for the lead with 15 votes each.

Thus they can make you win every time you play. If you are a little tricky, you can be the next millionaire. Using these spy cards is not only satisfying but also quite easy and even an illiterate person can learn to use them.
We launched our website few years' back - www.spycardstore.in with the aim of providing branded spy playing cards to professional card players. To our surprise we had to request our suppliers to double the production after just ten days of launching. In order to meet the ever rising demands of the people, we feel pleasure in opening our first inland store of spy cheating playing cards in Delhi.
To continue our commitment, we have opened two stores selling spy cheating playing cards in Delhi also. In the next phase we, would also be opening soon spy cards shop in Delhi and other major cities in India. We are committed in providing only branded products to our customers and have tried our level best to keep the prices as lowest in the market.

It's time for the EU to make some decisions about its own future and the future of its citizens.
There are two things at stake; the fiscal impetus of recovering a carbon emissions trading scheme which is perilously close to imploding, and the physical impetus of protecting the health of the millions of EU citizens who are threatened by coal plants belching particulates into their air.
With one, it is working towards restoring credibility to a plan which turns CO2 into a tradeable commodity while encouraging the reduction of emissions. With the other, it is respecting the basic right of people to breathe air which is not clogged with mercury, lead or arsenic.
Making the right choice means finding a way of making carbon trading relevant again. It's simple supply and demand: Industrial optimism and geo-political interests created a situation where too many tradeable allowances were pumped into a new and untested market – the largest of its kind. The economic crisis slowed factory production, meaning there were less emissions, meaning the allowances they had for emissions gradually became worthless. And if allowances come cheap, why worry about blowing more pollutants into the air? Along this line, the International Energy Agency released a report earlier this week which, although having a global outlook, made it clear that the EU, as the third largest CO2 emitter in the world, needs to pull up its socks. As the IEA puts it, the current emissions trading scheme (ETS) "is a key instrument to deliver the European Union's 20% emissions reduction target in 2020."
In the EU, there is no doubt what a key emission culprit is. With approximately 300 plants in operation, and about 50 more in development, coal accounts for a quarter of the EU's C02 emissions. It also accounts for 70% of sulphur dioxide emissions – a dangerous pollutant. This means that making the right choice also means acknowledging that, not only is coal so antiquated it's laughable — it's been used as a source of energy since Marco Polo — but it's simply too unhealthy to be considered an option. Especially here, in Europe, where 70% of new electrical capacity took the form of predominantly wind and solar energy in 2012, according to the REN21's Renewables Global Status Report (GSR).
The two choices are not mutually exclusive. Curbing carbon emissions, through controlled allowances and an effective ETS, means turning more to clean sources of power in an economically advantageous way. Yes, predicting carbon market behaviour may be tricky, but understanding the health threats of pollution is not. Clean energy will add years of life to EU citizens which, in and of itself, is a no-brainer. If you remove the emotional aspect from the equation, in the long run, it also makes us more productive to drive the Union forward and make us a proven example of a sustainable, healthy energy environment.

Maybe within one decade, certainly within two, the tectonic plates of the developed and developing worlds will collide as never before and a mountain range of strife will obliterate concerns – real or imaginary – about climate change.
As the rocketing population heads for 9 or 10 billion by 2050, the ¾ of the population, who currently use ¼ of the energy, will be constantly battling for improved standards of living. The ¼ of us, now using ¾ of the energy will be fighting to cling on to our way of life. Irrespective of any improvements in efficient use of energy, our ability to find new energy uses means demand will be 3 to 4 times greater than it is now, by 2050. Such increases in demand could not be exemplified better than the spread of the Smartphone – with servers and infrastructure, each one uses as much energy as a fridge!
Fossil fuels costs will inexorably rise and will become unaffordable for some in the competing markets. Metaphorical aspirations will become reality and international strife unavoidable. Only energy security will matter and the irritating problems of climate change will become an irrelevance.
It is idiocy to believe that renewable can supply these energy needs. Only one technology can provide an energy-rich future for every individual on the planet and have any hope of avoiding energy and resources wars. It is that of the breeder reactor and it can supply as much energy as the human race can possibly use, for the remainder of time, from inexhaustible sources of uranium and thorium.
Oh! And incidentally, it will cure (mitigate) climate change.

Dear PRISM-UK - I am happy you do not hide behind something so anonymous that it cannot be understood as advertisement.
For the readers: PRISM is the design for a fast breeder nuclear reactor that General Electric (also known as GE - the designer and constructor of the Fukushima Mark 1 nuclear power station that refuses to take any responsibility its design mistakes that complicated the catastrophe) wants to sell to the the UK. Currently their main argument is that it could be used to reduce the UKs plutonium stock, because there is no solution for it. And, as you can see, it taps into the justified fear in the UK for climate change.
1. Up till now, fast breeder reactors have not been proven very successful. Apart from a test reactor in Russia running on special fuel, none have been able to deliver.
2. The spread of breeder reactors would also spread the technology of reprocessing, which is a necessary step in acquiring plutonium for non-peaceful uses. Breeding means proliferation of nuclear weapon technology.
3. Breeders do not as much "solve" the high level waste problem, they may (may!) reduce it somewhat, but what's left is still unsolvable and a lot.
4. Breeders are screamingly expensive - a lot more expensive than the already uncompetitive current generation nuclear power stations with which EdF and Hitachi/GE want to squeeze out a guarantee for double market price for 35 to 40 years from the UK rate payer. Oh yes, and a *lot* more expensive than proven renewable technologies as solar PV, CSHP, on-shore wind and off-shore wind, many sustainable biomass technologies.
5. When GE would be able to sell a breeder to the UK, it would not go on-line before 2025 - more likely later. Greenhouse gas emissions need to peak in 2015. It would come too late.
6. Renewables are already proven technologies, they are implemented, they have proven to be able to learn and prices continue to fall more than foreseen. Renewables are not one technique - they are a dozen of completely different technologies, some weather dependent, some not, and with wise development they can drive out our addiction to fossil fuels and dangerous nuclear power.

Library book? Sorry, we can't reach
A state-of-the-art £188 million library has come under fire after admitting it has no means of reaching thousands of books stored on high shelves.
The landmark Library of Birmingham, which opened its doors seven months ago, is still awaiting delivery of equipment to enable staff to retrieve items from a storage area.
Officials at the city centre building said it was a "frustrating" situation that should be resolved before the summer. They said the books in the closed stack areas were low-use, academic titles that were borrowed "infrequently".
The library's director, Brian Gambles, said: "We fully understand how popular materials in the closed stack areas of the Library of Birmingham are and it is frustrating that we haven't yet been able to give our customers access to them.
"We had planned to introduce this service in the autumn, after the initial post-opening rush had settled a little, but because we're still awaiting delivery of equipment to enable staff to retrieve items from the storage stacks safely, we have had to delay this service.
"We are in frequent contact with the suppliers to get a delivery date. I'd like to apologise to our customers and ask that they bear with us - we hope to have the service available later this spring."
Thought to be Europe's largest public library, the new building was shortlisted last week for the 2014 Library of the Year award by an industry magazine.
It was officially opened by teenage women's rights campaigner Malala Yousafzai on September 1 last year and contains approximately a million books, a television archive belonging to the British Film Institute, and the second-largest repository of Shakespeare's works in the world.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Authorities in Southern California say a 69-year-old man who was trying to prevent his daughter from driving drunk was run over and killed by the woman in her driveway.
Riverside police Sgt. Dan Reeves said Saturday that 37-year-old Soukvilay Barton ignored her father's pleas not to drive and backed her BMW convertible out of the garage, striking him.
Bounmy Rajsombath was rushed to a Riverside hospital, where he was pronounced dead Friday night.
Barton was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. Police say they don't know if Barton has a lawyer, and a listed number for her couldn't be located.
Witnesses say Barton had been drinking and arguing with family members. She stopped the car after seeing that her father was injured and sat sobbing before being taken into custody.

People's Vote Campaign Gets £1m Boost From Superdry Founder, Julian Dunkerton
'I know we have a genuine chance to turn this around.'
The multimillionaire co-founder of
fashion label has given a £1m boost to the People's Vote campaign.
Julian Dunkerton
's donation will fund detailed polling which organisers hope will give a boost to their campaign for a second
on the terms of the
's departure from the
European Union
Dunkerton said that he was contributing the vast sum of money because "it's not too late", adding: "I know we have a genuine chance to turn this around."
Writing in the Times, Dunkerton said: "The key to my success in business has been my instinct for when the mood is going to change — and I'm convinced we're in one of those moments right now. It's becoming clear there is no vision for
and the politicians have made a mess of it.
"Increasingly, the public knows that Brexit is going to be a disaster. Maybe they just need to be given that little bit of hope that comes when they see how opinion is moving."
He said that if Brexit had happened 20 years earlier, then the company he co-founded "would never have become the global success that it is".
He said that Superdry would have struggled to cope with negotiating customs and tariffs, adding: "Perhaps even more importantly, Europe was our staging post, because inside the single market we had no fear of opening a store in France or anywhere else in the EU."
He continued: "Until Brexit raised its head, people were looking enviously at our country. The whole of Europe was saying it wanted to learn from us. Now we're close to throwing away this amazing opportunity.
"Already, we have gone from the fastest-growing economy in the G7 to the slowest, while everyone I know in business is scaling back investment because Brexit is such a negative path for our country, both economically and emotionally."
Dunkerton said he will be paying for the polling exercise "so more of us have the confidence to demand the democratic right for our voices to be heard — to get a People's Vote on any Brexit deal".
On Saturday hundreds of campaigners gathered in Edinburgh to demand a public vote on the final Brexit deal.
The rally, organised by the campaign group People's Vote, was designed to put pressure on Theresa May to put any deal on leaving the EU to the electorate.
In June, on the second anniversary of the EU Referendum, more than 100,000 anti-Brexit protesters marched through central London to demand a final vote on any UK exit deal.

The D-Link Amplifi Whole Home Router 1000, model DIR-645 is quite a different beast compared with D-Link's previous router, the DIR-657, both in terms of design and performance. The new router comes in a completely different physical design and is also one of the routers that offers the longest range. Unfortunately, it supports only the 2.4Ghz band and the regular dual-stream Wi-Fi standard that caps at 300Mbps. More and more wireless routers now support true dual-band (both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz) and the new 450Mbps wireless speed.
To make up for that, the DIR-645 offers Gigabit Ethernet, a SharePort Plus USB port that turns any USB device into one that works with all computers in the network, and other nifty features, such as OpenDNS-based parental control, guest networking, and support for IPv6.
At the street price of around $90, the DIR-645 will make an excellent router for homes that need a reliable and fast network that provides excellent Wi-Fi coverage. Those who want to stream high-def content from within the local network, however, might also want to check out dual-band routers that also support the 5Ghz band, such as the Linksys E3200 or the Asus RT-56u.
Setup and design
The DIR-645 has a completely new design with a sleek black housing and internal antennae. The router comes in a round, vertical shape, looking more like a computer speaker than a network device. Measuring 4.6 inches by 7.6 inches by 1.2 inches, it's actually not a small package but still manages to have very compact footprint, thanks to its cylindrical design. It's also very light at just 0.7 pound.
The router's front has two round, green LEDs that show the status of the connection the Internet and the Wi-Fi network and two buttons for the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPC) and the on/off button. These LEDs and buttons are stacked on top of one another in a vertical line to go with the router's design.
Also stacked in a vertical line are the router's five Gigabit network ports, including 4 LAN and one WAN, as well as one USB port on the back. The USB port supports D-Link's SharePort Plus technology. As with the DIR-657, this port, when coupled with D-Link's SharePort utility software, allows any USB device connected to the router to work with all computers in the local network, as if it were directly connected to them. Apart from hosting a USB device, the USB port can also be used with a USB thumb drive to create a Windows Connect Now (WCN) disk that allows you to transfer the router's encryption key from the router to a Windows computer, sparing you from having to remember it.
The DIR-645 comes with a CD that contains the aforementioned SharePort Utility and desktop setup software. Following the software's onscreen instructions, anybody who can use the mouse can get the router running in a matter of less than 10 minutes. Alternatively, advanced users can use the router's Web-based interface to further customize and take advantage of the router's features.
Despite the different physical shape, the DIR-645 offers the same networking features as the DIR-657 that was released a few months ago. All of these features can be accessed via the router's Web interface. You can get there by pointing any connected computer's browser to the router's default IP, which is 192.168.0.1. The interface is similar to those of other D-Link routers made in the last few years. Nonetheless, it's well-organized, responsive, and self-explanatory.
Other than guest networking, which allows for creating separate wireless networks for guests, which has been available all of D-Link's wireless N routers, the DIR-645 now supports IPv6--the new Internet protocol that replaces the old IPv4 that's been running out of addresses, OpenDNS-based parental control, and an enhanced SharePort plus technology for its USB port.
The OpenDNS-based parental control feature allows users to manage Web filtering from anywhere over the Internet. It's very easy to set this up via the router's Web interface. Here you can choose among different levels of parental control and have the option to use OpenDNS to manage it. To use the router with OpenDNS, first you'll need to sign up for a free OpenDNS account. After that, from within the router's Web interface, pick to use OpenDNS as the method to manage the parental control feature; you will then be asked to associate the router with the OpenDNS account via a few mouse clicks and that's it; the cloud-based Web-filtering feature is ready. The router can now be managed from anywhere in the world when you log in to your OpenDNS account at OpenDNS.com.
If you don't want to opt for an OpenDNS account, you can also manage the router's access to the Internet within the router's Web interface by using its Web-filtering feature. This feature's tools include Network Filter, Access Control, Website Filter, and Inbound Control. These tools allow to you control the network and limit access to the Internet by specific criteria, such as preventing a particular computer from accessing an adult Web site or only allowing it to run instant messenger programs during a certain period of time. When hosting an external hard drive, the router can also work as a streaming server, making digital content, including music, photos, and videos, stored on the connected hard drive available to network DLNA-compliant media streamers and iTunes. You can also share documents with multiple computers the way you do with NAS servers. You can't restrict access the hard drive, however, meaning that everyone will have full read and write access to all data stored on the hard drive.
