Top Experts Say Official Explanation Makes No Sense
Numerous structural engineers – the people who know the most about office building vulnerabilities and accidents – say that the official explanation of why building 7 at the World Trade Center collapsed on 9/11 is "impossible", "defies common logic" and "violates the law of physics":
I agree the fire did not cause the collapse of the three buildings. The most realistic cause of the collapse is that the buildings were imploded
The collapse of WTC7 looks like it may have been the result of a controlled demolition. This should have been looked into as part of the original investigation
From videos of the collapse of building 7, the penthouse drops first prior to the collapse, and it can be noted that windows, in a vertical line, near the location of first interior column line are blown out, and reveal smoke from those explosions. This occurs in a vertical line in symmetrical fashion an equal distance in toward the center of the building from each end. When compared to controlled demolitions, one can see the similarities
Photos of the steel, evidence about how the buildings collapsed, the unexplainable collapse of WTC 7, evidence of thermite in the debris as well as several other red flags, are quite troubling indications of well planned and controlled demolition
World Trade Center 7 appears to be a controlled demolition. Buildings do not suddenly fall straight down by accident
Why would all 110 stories drop straight down to the ground in about 10 seconds, pulverizing the contents into dust and ash – twice. Why would all 47 stories of WTC 7 fall straight down to the ground in about seven seconds the same day? It was not struck by any aircraft or engulfed in any fire. An independent investigation is justified for all three collapses including the surviving steel samples and the composition of the dust
WTC 7 Building could not have collapsed as a result of internal fire and external debris. NO plane hit this building. This is the only case of a steel frame building collapsing through fire in the world. The fire on this building was small & localized therefore what is the cause?
In my view, the chances of the three buildings collapsing symmetrically into their own footprint, at freefall speed, by any other means than by controlled demolition, are so remote that there is no other plausible explanation
Near-freefall collapse violates laws of physics. Fire induced collapse is not consistent with observed collapse mode . . . .
I began having doubts about, so called, official explanations for the collapse of the WTC towers soon after the explanations surfaced. The gnawing question that lingers in my mind is: How did the structures collapse in near symmetrical fashion when the apparent precipitating causes were asymmetrical loading? The collapses defies common logic from an elementary structural engineering perspective. "If" you accept the argument that fire protection covering was damaged to such an extent that structural members in the vicinity of the aircraft impacts were exposed to abnormally high temperatures, and "if" you accept the argument that the temperatures were high enough to weaken the structural framing, that still does not explain the relatively concentric nature of the failures.Neither of the official precipitating sources for the collapses, namely the burning aircraft, were centered within the floor plan of either tower; both aircraft were off-center when they finally came to rest within the respective buildings. This means that, given the foregoing assumptions, heating and weakening of the structural framing would have been constrained to the immediate vicinity of the burning aircraft. Heat transmission (diffusion) through the steel members would have been irregular owing to differing sizes of the individual members; and, the temperature in the members would have dropped off precipitously the further away the steel was from the flames—just as the handle on a frying pan doesn't get hot at the same rate as the pan on the burner of the stove. These factors would have resulted in the structural framing furthest from the flames remaining intact and possessing its full structural integrity, i.e., strength and stiffness.
Structural steel is highly ductile, when subjected to compression and bending it buckles and bends long before reaching its tensile or shear capacity. Under the given assumptions, "if" the structure in the vicinity of either burning aircraft started to weaken, the superstructure above would begin to lean in the direction of the burning side. The opposite, intact, side of the building would resist toppling until the ultimate capacity of the structure was reached, at which point, a weak-link failure would undoubtedly occur. Nevertheless, the ultimate failure mode would have been a toppling of the upper floors to one side—much like the topping of a tall redwood tree—not a concentric, vertical collapse.
For this reason alone, I rejected the official explanation for the collapse of the WTC towers out of hand. Subsequent evidence supporting controlled, explosive demolition of the two buildings are more in keeping with the observed collapse modalities and only serve to validate my initial misgivings as to the causes for the structural failures
We design and analyze buildings for the overturning stability to resist the lateral loads with the combination of the gravity loads. Any tall structure failure mode would be a fall over to its side. It is impossible that heavy steel columns could collapse at the fraction of the second within each story and subsequently at each floor below.We do not know the phenomenon of the high rise building to disintegrate internally faster than the free fall of the debris coming down from the top.
The engineering science and the law of physics simply doesn't know such possibility. Only very sophisticated controlled demolition can achieve such result, eliminating the natural dampening effect of the structural framing huge mass that should normally stop the partial collapse. The pancake theory is a fallacy, telling us that more and more energy would be generated to accelerate the collapse. Where would such energy would be coming from?
Fire and impact were insignificant in all three buildings. Impossible for the three to collapse at free-fall speed. Laws of physics were not suspended on 9/11, unless proven otherwise
The symmetrical "collapse" due to asymmetrical damage is at odds with the principles of structural mechanics
It is virtually impossible for WTC building 7 to collapse as it did with the influence of sporadic fires. This collapse HAD to be planned
It is very suspicious that fire brought down Building 7 yet the Madrid hotel fire was still standing after 24 hours of fire. This is very suspicious to me because I design buildings for a living
The above is just a sample. Many other structural engineershave questioned the collapse of Building 7, as have numerous experts in other disciplines, including:
The collapse was too symmetrical to have been eccentrically generated. The destruction was symmetrically initiated to cause the buildings to implode as they did

Ronald Poppo, victim of Fla. 'face-eater' Rudy Eugene, will need months of facial reconstruction
(CBS/AP) MIAMI - Ronald Poppo, the 65-year-old homeless man whose face was mostly chewed off by Rudy Eugene along a busy Miami highway ramp, will require months of treatment to rebuild his facial features and be permanently disfigured.
Pictures: Fla. police identify "face-eating" naked man
According to experts on facial reconstruction who spoke with The Associated Press, such severe facial injuries are not generally life threatening. The most serious risk to Poppo were the germs that may have been introduced by the bites of the 31-year-old naked man who attacked him. One of Poppo's eyes was also gouged out.
It's not clear why Poppo was attacked that Saturday afternoon. Police have released few details but surveillance video from a nearby building shows Eugene pulling Poppo from the shade, stripping and pummeling him before appearing to hunch over and then lie on top of him.
A witness described Eugene ripping at Poppo's face with his mouth and growling at a Miami police officer who ordered him to get off the homeless man. The officer then shot and killed Eugene.
Eugene's younger brother told the AP that his sibling was a sweet person who didn't drink much or use hard drugs. The brother asked for anonymity to protect his family from harassment.
Police union officials representing the officer said the scene on the MacArthur Causeway was one of the goriest they had ever seen.
"He had his face eaten down to his goatee. The forehead was just bone. No nose, no mouth," said Sgt. Armando Aguilar, president of the Miami Fraternal Order of Police.
Poppo has been in critical condition in recent days but police didn't give an update on his condition Wednesday.

Really hope it isn't anything too serious.
Best of luck
My hands have been steadily developing a painful symptom when playing. So far this has only happened with StarCraft and games similar to it (such as DotA). What happens is that after playing about 3 or 4 games my hands start to feel extremely stiff and painful to move (almost like cemented in the home row position for touch typing). My fingers look and feel bent in a very unnatural position and just refuse to move. There's also a faint pins and needles feeling in them (though not as prominent as say a leg falling asleep). I usually finish the match I'm in and quit after that. It's really bothersome when I want to keep playing but it greatly reduced my ability to play matches.
Really hope it isn't anything too serious.
The same thing has been happening to my right elbow. I think that I may be getting arthritis in my elbow though.
I do a crap load of typing/clicking at work in 10 hour shifts and I don't have any inhibiting side effects. Sometimes I have to click my knuckles to free them up a bit but never any pain etc.

It sounds like RSI (repetitive strain injury), its pretty common for gamers who play games that require a lot of continuous rapid clicking, or keyboard action. Go see a doctor about it, depending on how serious it is, it can be managed or healed.
Yeah, it sounds a lot like the kind of stuff that RSI blankets. Definitely see a doctor. Probably just wind up with a referral to an orthopedic surgeon to actually get anything done, but hey.

MoU signed to computerize IARCSC affairs
MoU signed to computerize IARCSC affairs
KABUL (Pajhwok): The Independent Administrative Reform and Civil Service Commission (IARCSC) on Saturday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Technology on computerizing the commission's administrative system.
The MoU was signed between IARCSC acting head Ahmad Mashahid and MCIT Minister Abdul Razaq Wahidi in Kabul. Under the MoU, the commission's works would be computerized.
Mashahid told a press conference that the use of new technology could play an important role in improving services, reducing corruption and service delivery.
He said it was not possible to fight against corruption without having e-government system. "Computerizing services saves time, minimizes paper work, improves the quality of services and prevents corruption," he said.
A joint team from both the entities would work on computerizing the commission's system, MCIT Minister Abdul Razaq Wahidi said.
"The quality of services and administrative affairs of the government are improved by computerizing the system. We will be witness to many positive changes, improved service delivery and reduced corruption in government departments," he said.

It's the weekend.
You'll be thinking about going to a movie, or the theater, or a museum perhaps.
I have an alternative suggestion. Sit down and go to the Facebook page of Nolan Daniels.
Within 24 hours, Daniels (if that is his real name) has become one of the world's more famous people.
He put up a photo of himself with what was supposedly a winning Powerball ticket and offered $1million to a random sharer of his photo.
As I'm writing this, more than 1.7 million people have shared it. You know, on a just-in-case basis.
Which is what makes this a true cultural phenomenon. Before going to your local museum today to view artifacts from an age of stone or military brass, please spend some time going through the comments on Daniels' post.
For there you will see a fairly complete psychological picture of today's interesting world.
First, you might espy the critics. They point out that the ticket is obviously fake, as the numbers aren't in ascending order. Oh, and some suggest that he got the price of the ticket wrong.
The critics are generally people who spend their days knowing what's wrong with the world and doing too little about it. To my unmathematical eye, they seem to make up at least 50 percent of the commenters.
Then you will find the beggars and liars. It is difficult to distinguish the two.
Take this from Anthony Rocco Sedalia: "My Family and I could use a million with getting evicted soon and water and power being turned off that money would HELP A LOt!!!"
Or this from Mittani R. Spruill: "I'm the random person to pick :-) My mom is filming a movie and needs $500,000. And me and my son want to build a school for underprivileged kids. And lastly, i want to invest the rest in my company. Pick me!!"
Are these people telling the truth? Or are they trying to kid a kidder?
Perhaps, though, the most astounding group of people can be bundled under the term "Naive, sweet, innocent, insane, nice folks."
A quite astonishing number of commenters offer Daniels nothing but good wishes.
Some admire his chutzpah in using such a simple ruse in order to become famous. Because they know that fame is the current currency.
Some, though, seem simply to wish him well.
This, for example, from Jenna Sasnett: "Congrats, Hope you have a wonderful life and time with the money and don't become a stuck up rich man. May god bless!"
Or this from Laurie Mannino Vickery: "Congrats to you. You have a heart of gold to give away money to a random person. Like your ticket...You are a rare find."
Yes, Daniels is clearly a rare find -- and for many of these posters, it seems that visiting news sites is a rare phenomenon. Daniels has been debunked as a fake many, many times in the last 24 hours.
But if you just go by the Facebook comments it's still hard to decipher the real from the not-so-real.
Are these people leaving sweet messages merely to be generous? Or do they believe that Daniels will cast his eyes and $1 million worth of sweetness upon the person who, in some way, moves him most?
Do they really generously wish him a happy life? Or do they generously wish him a happy life in the hope that he will show them generosity?
You can decide that Daniels' little prank is nothing more than that.
Or you can decide that this is a very high form of modern art. With one simple picture and caption, he has shown how difficult it is in our supremely connected world to make a connection between what we see and hear and what we can trust.
As many people as decry Daniels for being a fake, so there seem equally many (if not more) fakes attempting to dupe the duper into making their own lives easier.
When the aliens come to Earth to pick over our bones and carcasses, they will surely muse: "What a curious bunch of beings this lot were."

HARRISONBURG, Va. – The VCU baseball team locked up a berth in the 2012 CAA Tournament, with a 10-8 victory over James Madison on Sunday afternoon.
With the score tied 8-8 in the top of the ninth inning, freshman infielder Vimael Machin lifted a two-out single to right field to keep the inning alive, allowing redshirt junior Brent Mikionis to come to the plate. With a 1-2 count, Mikionis belted the next pitch over the wall in left field, to hand the Rams the 10-8 advantage. It was the second home run of the day for Mikionis and fifth on the year.
"He has been seeing the ball extremely well all weekend," said VCU associate head coach Shawn Stiffler. "He got a pitch he was looking for elevated and didn't miss it."
Junior pitcher Blake Hauser returned to the mound in the bottom of the ninth, after pitching a scoreless eighth, and struck out the side to capture the victory.
VCU's overall record now stands at 30-22, including a 15-15 mark in CAA play. This marks the first time since 2010 that the Rams have garnered 30 regular season victories. James Madison's record drops to 16-31-2 overall, including a 10-17 record in league action.
"I couldn't be more proud of this team's performance," added Stiffler. "We have only accomplished one of our team goals so far, which was to make the CAA tournament, but it's the first step for us. I don't think there is any team in the country that has had to deal with what we have had to, to get to their conference tournament. This team has had to deal with things that not many people have, and they have completely answered the bell every time. They have done everything that Coach Keyes, Coach Palumbo, Coach Rhodes and I have asked of them. As far as the baseball game went, we were resilient. Give credit to JMU, they played hard for all three games and are a really talented team. I am just really proud to be a Ram right now.
The Rams jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning, as sophomore outfielder Bill Cullen led off the contest with a four-pitch walk. Cullen advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by junior infielder Jordan Weymouth, before taking third on a wild pitch. Cullen would come around to score on a groundout by redshirt junior outfielder Taylor Buran.
The Dukes took their first lead of the contest in the bottom of the second inning, pushing across a pair of runs on VCU junior pitcher Kyle Haynes.
Weymouth got the Rams started off right in the top of the third inning, with a one-out double into right field. The Paradise Valley, Ariz., native came around to score on a double off the wall in left by Cujas.
Both sides would manufacture a pair of runs fourth inning, to knot the score at 4-4. Machin led off the fourth with single to right field, before Mikionis belted a two-run home run over the left field wall.
The Dukes regained the lead in the top of the fifth inning, for a 5-4 advantage, before the Rams posted four runs in the top of the sixth inning.
The inning started with Machin earning a walk and Mikionis drawing a pitch on his arm to put runners on first and second. Senior catcher Nick Abrahamson laid down a sacrifice bunt to the pitcher, but the Dukes attempted to throw out Machin at third, coming away unsuccessful. Machin scored on a sacrifice fly to right field by senior outfielder Paul Nice, which allowed Mikionis to take third on the play. Cullen drew another walk to load the bases, before Weymouth slapped a single into left field, to score Mikionis and Abrahamson, and push Cullen to third. Cullen would come around to score on a groundout by Cujas.
James Madison posted three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning, to even the score at 8-8.
The Rams would pull ahead for good in the top of the ninth inning, behind Mikionis' two-run home run.
Hauser earned the victory for the Black & Gold, with two innings pitched and four strikeouts. James Madison's Chris Huffman suffered the loss for the Dukes.
The Rams celebrated a career milestone in the top of the ninth inning, as Nice drew his 51st career hit-by-pitch. The Powhatan, Va., native broke Kwan Evans' (2004-08) record, which was 50.
The Rams are set to battle with in-state rival University of Virginia, this Tuesday in Charlottesville. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m.

Living with multiple sclerosis can be a lonely journey. Whether it be from time to time or on a regular basis, there are occasions when it seems that no one "gets it" but us.
Here at the Life With MS Blog, we try to be a link of information for connection and for venting. Sometimes, however, we may want/need a more personal touch. That's where MS Friends has come in for many people living with MS.
MS Friends offers a 24/7 peer support helpline, staffed with people living with multiple sclerosis. Last year a cadre of fewer than 90 volunteers handled over 8,500 calls and their volume is only growing!
I'm sure you can imagine how difficult it can be to staff a phone helpline 24/7. Now think about the costs involved with such an endeavor and it won't surprise you that the organization has come upon some pretty bumpy times in the past year. So bumpy, in fact, that the board of MS Friends' parent organization, VisionWorks Foundation, have made the difficult decision to end this service.
The National MS Society has agreed to step in and fund the organization's important work so that current and future callers to MS Friends will still hear a comforting and understanding voice at the other end of the call!
"Huzzah for us", I say!
MS Friends is an important resource for so many and today they can be reached the same way they have been for a number of years.
In addition, for those of you who would like to give back a little something, MS Friends is always seeking volunteers to take calls from wherever you live in the world!
I salute MS Friends for the work they have done and the National MS Society for making sure that this service can and will continue!
Have any of you ever used the MS Friends network? Thinking about volunteering?
Wishing you and your family the best of health.


text: March 23, 2012 Cost Estimate As ordered reported by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on March 6, 2012 View Document19.24 KB Summary As ordered reported by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on March 6, 2012 H.R. 3310 would require the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to prepare a biennial report for the Congress that assesses certain characteristics of the communications industry. The report would analyze the state of competition in the markets for voice, video, and data services, as well as the availability of high-speed and high-quality telecommunications services. Further, the bill would require the FCC to determine whether laws and regulations pose a barrier to entry into communications markets, and include that information in the biennial report. H.R. 3310 also would relieve the FCC of requirements to prepare certain other reports on topics ranging from access to satellite services to prices for cable services. In all, the bill would eliminate more than 20 reports and notices, some that remain in current law even though deadlines for their completion have passed. Based on information from the FCC, CBO estimates that implementing the provisions of H.R. 3310 would not have a significant net effect on the agency's discretionary costs. Any additional expense the FCC would incur to prepare the new assessment of the communications industry would be offset by a reduction in costs that would otherwise be incurred for reports that would eliminated under the bill. Under current law, the FCC is authorized to collect fees sufficient to offset the cost of its regulatory activities each year; therefore, CBO estimates that the net cost to implement the provisions of H.R. 3310 would be negligible, assuming annual appropriation actions consistent with the agency's authorities. Enacting H.R. 3310 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. H.R. 3310 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments. The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Susan Willie. The estimate was approved by Theresa Gullo, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.

You don't need to be a genius to debug a pf.conf firewall ruleset, you just need the guts to run tcpdump
That was quick. Thanks. Had looked at netstat but, I guess I ran it with the wrong options.
A couple of months ago, I was writting a shell script to monitor internet usage. The script was based on netstat. The script was totally useless, because the statistic (in/out) is randomly resetted.
For example, this is statistic of a server which has been up for a couple of months:
netstat -I bfe0 -nh Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll bfe0 1500 <Link#1> 00:15:c5:23:89:72 299M 1 277M 0 1 bfe0 1500 10.1.1.0/24 10.1.1.2 299M - 277M - -
Any idea?
...then the God created man...
Wow, had no idea it was randomly reset. I knew it was reset upon reboot but not randomly. Any idea how long of a period before this "random" reset is? I would say it's at least a week? Anyways, I plan on using the deamon gem in ruby to have it update my data every 30 seconds or so. I gotta play with the idea still. So even if it was reset I would only be missing a few seconds of data. Would love to hear some better ideas.
Not completely sure about OpenBSD, but the FreeBSD kernel uses 32-bit ints for keeping stats like this. Wouldn't be surprised if OpenBSD did something similar. As such, the counters will wrap around at some point. Not exactly random.
Help for FreeBSD: Handbook, FAQ, man pages, mailing lists.
openbsd uses 64bit counters.
> So even if it was reset I would only be missing a few seconds of data. Would love to hear some better ideas.
one way you could keep track of the bytes passing through an interface is through a script running from cron that keeps some state on the disk so that it can continue tracking the usage correctly on interface reset, counter roll-over, reboot etc.
i wrote a daemon + script to keep track of my net usage you can check it out http://www.daemonforums.org/showthre...ighlight=bwmon
also, i recall a program mentioned on one of the threads (can't remember which one - try searching) that can give you statistics in nice html o/p, graphs etc.
If PF is enabled and is keeping state, you can get traffic on individual state sessions with # pfctl -vs state
Thanks for all the ideas. That other thread was a great resource. Missed that when searching some how.

Growing up, I personally lived in one of the "not under my roof!" households, but it's interesting to hear about parents who think the opposite, for the sake of cleanliness, doing it in a familiar environment, and generally being safe. Also, it's nice to see some parents tacitly imply they know what the basement rec room is really for.

Airport security found a bottle of saline in my luggage at Heathrow Airport last month. It was a 115ml bottle, slightly above the 100ml limit. Airport security in the US lets me through with it all the time, but UK security was stricter. The official confiscated it because allowing it on the airplane with me would have been too dangerous. And to demonstrate how dangerous he really thought that bottle was, he blithely tossed it in a nearby bin of similar liquid bottles and sent me on my way.
In a sense, this is a dumb game anyway; it's an overly specific reaction to tactics instead of threats. We take away guns and bombs, so the terrorists use box cutters. We confiscate box cutters and corkscrews, so they put explosives in their sneakers. We screen footwear, so they use liquids. We take away liquids, and they're going to do something else.
So why are we even playing? We're playing because it's politically impossible not to defend against the particular tactic the terrorists tried last year. But because we know that liquids aren't really dangerous, we don't treat them as such — which makes confiscating them completely ineffective.
There are two classes of contraband at airport security checkpoints: the class that will get you in trouble if you try to bring it on an airplane, and the class that will cheerily be taken away from you if you try to bring it on an airplane.
This difference is important; making security screeners confiscate anything from that second class is a waste of time and doesn't make us any safer.
Let me explain. If you're caught at airport security with a bomb or a gun, the screeners aren't just going to take them away from you. They're going to call the police and you're going to be stuck for a few hours in an isolated room answering a lot of awkward questions. You may be arrested, and you'll almost certainly miss your flight. At best, you're going to have a very unpleasant day.
This is why articles about how screeners don't catch every gun and bomb that goes through the checkpoints — and their track record is actually pretty mediocre — don't bother me. Perfection is impossible, and trying would be too expensive. We can't keep weapons out of prisons, how can we possibly keep them out of airports?
But the screeners don't have to be perfect; they just have to be good enough. No terrorist is going to base his plot on getting a gun through airport security if there's a decent chance of getting caught, because the consequences of getting caught are too severe.
Contrast that with a terrorist plot that requires a 350ml bottle of liquid. There's no evidence that the 2006 liquid bombers actually had a workable plot, but assume for the moment that they did. If some copycat terrorists try to bring their liquid bomb through airport security and the screeners catch them — like they caught me with my opaque bottle labeled as "saline" — the terrorists can simply try again. In fact, they can try again and again. They can keep trying until they succeed. Because there are no consequences to trying and failing, the screeners have to be 100 percent effective. Even if the screeners slip up only once every hundred times, the plot can succeed.
The same is true for knitting needles, pocket knives, scissors, corkscrews, cigarette lighters and whatever else the airport screeners are confiscating this week. If there's no consequence to getting caught with it, then confiscating it only hurts innocent people. At best, it mildly annoys the terrorists.

WCHA responds to Big Ten hockey announcement
NOTE: The following WCHA press release is in response to the announcement that Wisconsin and Minnesota intend to withdraw from the league and join the proposed Big Ten hockey conference:
Before feeling sorry for the WCHA, remember it has an NCAA-high five teams heading to the NCAA Tournament, and the proposed Big Ten schools have one — Michigan.
The Western Collegiate Hockey Association today issued the following statement from Commissioner Bruce M. McLeod following an announcement from the Big Ten conference that they intend to form a men's ice hockey league beginning with the 2013-14 season.
"Today's announcement from the Big Ten conference has been anticipated for some time now," said Commissioner McLeod, "and this will obviously have an impact on the WCHA. But change creates opportunity, too. The timeline of this Association spans seven decades and has included expansion and contraction on numerous occasions, but the success of this organization has remained constant. The commitment to excellence by our member institutions will not waver and working together we will push forward to assure our future remains bright."
Earlier today, the directors of athletics of Big Ten-member institutions that sponsor men's ice hockey announced their intention to recommend to the Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors in June the establishment of men's ice hockey as an official conference sport for the 2013-14 academic year with participation by Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Ohio State, Penn State and Wisconsin.
Minnesota was an original founding member of the WCHA, together forming the seven-member Midwest Collegiate Hockey League (MCHL) for the 1951-52 season with Colorado College, University of Denver, University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Michigan Technological University and University of North Dakota. The MCHL then evolved into the Western Intercollegiate Hockey League (WIHL) for the 1953-54 season and then was renamed the Western Collegiate Hockey Association for the 1959-60 season. Wisconsin was granted admission into the WCHA beginning with the 1969-70 campaign.
For the 1965-66 season, the WCHA added the University of Minnesota Duluth as an eighth member team. Wisconsin came on board for the 1969-70 season, followed by the addition of University of Notre Dame for 1971-72. Michigan, Michigan State, Michigan Tech and Notre Dame then left the WCHA following the 1980-81 season to join the CCHA, reducing the WCHA to six teams from 1981-84. For 1984-85, Michigan Tech returned to the WCHA and together with newly-admitted member Northern Michigan University, brought league membership back to eight teams. The WCHA then admitted St. Cloud State University as a ninth member for the 1990-91 season, followed by the University of Alaska Anchorage as a 10th member for the 1993-94 season. Northern Michigan then left the WCHA again following the 1996-97 season to rejoin the CCHA. The WCHA then expanded again for the 1999-2000 season with the admittance of Minnesota State University, Mankato as a 10th member. Then beginning with this 2010-11 season, Bemidji State University and University of Nebraska Omaha joined the WCHA to bring membership to 12 teams.
Home to a record 36 national championship teams since 1951, the WCHA is marking it's 59th season of competition in 2010-11.

A Tale of Two Boards
A Tale of Two Boards
After all the excitement surrounding new CPU platforms from both AMD (Fusion) and Intel (Sandy Bridge), the industry has settled down to churning out these new products. Intel had a slightly rough time due to a glitch in its Cougar Point chipsets (P67, H67), but the worst is over and revised Sandy Bridge motherboards have been making its way to the retail channels. With the next wave of new CPUs and motherboards not expected till the middle of the year, it gives us some time to catch up with the many boards that have made their way to our labs.
While there are plenty of choices when it comes to Intel based boards, new AMD boards are few and far in between. Not surprisingly, the ones we have seen are all based on AMD's Fusion initiative, using the Brazos platform which is targeted at the lower end of the market for both desktops and mobile. It's something that we have covered previously here, and we personally feel that this platform has definite advantages over its competition in certain scenarios and price points.
AMD is expected to expand further on its Fusion theme with newer Accelerated Processing Units or APUs, as AMD calls these new breed of processors. These upcoming Llano APUs are reported to hit the market in July and will be more powerful (and more expensive) than the entry level Brazos. Whether they will be able to compete effectively against Intel is up for debate but we have seen enough of Brazos to feel reasonably optimistic.
In any case, it's all speculation at this point in time. What we do have here today are two more Brazos motherboards. Each comes with a Zacate APU (E-350 running at 1.6GHz) embedded within, so all you need to do is to slap on some memory modules, some storage and you're good to go. Like the other Brazos so far, they are in smaller form factors than the standard ATX, but while the Sapphire Pure Fusion Mini E350 keeps to the mini-ITX size we are familiar with, ASUS has opted for a larger micro-ATX form factor for its E35M1-M PRO. You can compare their specs here.
Click the jump to find out what we thought about these two Brazos boards.

Homeports: A Short Drive to Dream Vacations
Cruising can be the perfect antidote to life's stresses, but it is important to budget both your time and money for this relaxing getaway. Because of that, cruising from a port close to home may be the perfect remedy.
The trend toward homeports has been steadily gathering steam since the 1980s. Originally, most ships sailed from the major ports in Miami, New York City and San Francisco, but today the cruise industry offers no less than 30 homeports, blanketing the U.S. from Bayonne, N.J. to Long Beach, Calif.
Homeports allow travelers living within driving distance to avoid the expense of air fares, airport parking and taxi fees. They can also avoid spending money on hotel stays since they won't have to fly in earlier than their cruise departures. Finally, there's no price on eliminating the stress of flying: no long security lines, flight delays or wasted hours at the airport.
Sailing from a port close to home doesn't mean having to settle for shorter itineraries or domestic ports of call. Today's ships are bigger and faster, allowing cruise lines to operate more diverse itineraries from a wide range of close to home ports.
Popular homeports include Baltimore, MD, Bayonne, NJ; Boston, MA; Tampa, FL; Galveston, TX; New Orleans, LA; San Diego, CA; and Seattle, WA. The list doesn't end there, so consult with Cruise Holidays to find the one nearest you.

The latest developer diary for Splash Damage's Brink gives us a peek into the minds behind the game, and what happens when those minds get their hands on high-powered sniper rifles.
One of the main downsides to working in video game journalism is the absence of good excuses to fly out to Nevada and fire off a few rounds with a sniper rifle. I'm sure the odd occasion does arise, but for the most part, my life is pretty much sniper rifle free, at least the portion not spent online playing first-person shooters.
It's interesting in this day and age to see folks actually generating their own sounds in a game like Brink. There's plenty of easily modifiable sound product out there, and going to the trouble of making someone run in place to capture footsteps just shows how much love the creators have for the project.
Or an excuse to fire sniper rifles.

Will the Nuggets talk to Scott Brooks in their coaching search?
Here is the latest edition of my Twitterbag. Keep the questions coming on my Twitter account: @dempseypost
@dempseypost any word on the Nuggets HC search? Any chance they look at Brooks?
— Среда (@Orod5_) May 1, 2015
Monday — The Nuggets are getting that ramped up this week. They took the end of April to finish up some scouting in preparation for June's NBA draft. Slow-rolling the search hasn't hurt the Nuggets one bit given the fact there are only two teams looking for coaches — Orlando being the other. There are a number of viable candidates out there and not enough positions for them all to fit into, so having to rush the process due to a ton of demand isn't an issue. And yes, they'll likely chat with Scott Brooks in addition to others. Brooks has accomplished too much to not at least talk with him about the opening, so it's expected to happen. Where the search ultimately goes, we'll see. Read more…

International Epsilon Aurigae Campaign 2009 - 2011
8 February 2010
Every 27.1 years the very mysterious variable star epsilon Aurigae undergoes an eclipse that lasts nearly 2 years. This is an easily found 3rd magnitude star visible from the northern hemisphere. It is one of a trio of stars that form a small triangle called "The Kids" just southwest of Capella. While there is no shortage of theories, the precise nature of the star system remains a mystery. During the last eclipse 1982.1984 a Campaign was formed to observe and try to figure out answers. Great deal of information was obtained, yet there are still many unanswered questions. Beginning in the summer of last year (2009) the latest eclipse started. In 2006 an International Campaign was again formed and an official web site devoted to the current eclipse created. See http://www.hposoft.com/Campaign09.html
We have amateur and professional observers from around the world (18 countries) providing photometric and spectroscopic data of the star system. Some observers are also providing interferometry and polarimetry data. We have published 16 Newsletters so far for this Campaign. We encourage anyone interested in this star system to join the Campaign.

TEAMS: At Bethune MS, every student is in a team. A team consists of 4 to 6 teachers and approximately 150 students. There are 10 teams at Bethune Middle School this school year. A team structure provides an opportunity for a more focused and smaller learning community to support your growth socially, emotionally, and academically. The learning accomplished in each core subject area is connected, where appropriate, so students can see applications and relationships between the subject areas. Because teams of core content teachers share the same group of students, teams make it easier for your parents to meet with more than one teacher to discuss your progress.

Today's post was written by Dennis Venema and Darrel Falk.
In our previous post, we likened comparing genomes of related organisms to reading alternative history novels. We noted that before two species diverge, they share the same "backstory" but then go on to accumulate changes after separation.
One interesting feature of looking at genomes is that often we can find the mutated remains of once-functional genes. These are called pseudogenes, or "false genes." Pseudogenes might be part of a shared backstory for two species, or they might crop up independently after two species go their separate ways. Either way, they are easy to spot at the molecular level because they retain a lot of similarity. For example, here are the DNA sequences for the start of one particular gene1 in several species (for our purposes, its function is not important).
As you examine the sequence of letters above, note that DNA contains a four letter code. This string of "letters" is made up of the molecules adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine strung together within the large super-molecule, DNA. Our cells read the encoded instructions and, interpreting the code, build each of the different proteins required for the maintenance of life.
Note that the instructions have changed a little since these five species had a common "backstory" (ancestor). Despite the changes, for the dog, mouse and chicken, the protein is fully functional. This is not so, however, for the chimp and human. The "dot" (highlighted by the red arrow) means that one single letter of the instructions has been deleted. This change would be like finding this sentence in the first edition of a book:
But, in the second edition of the same book, we find this instead:
The sentence has no meaning anymore, but, as we compared the first and second versions of the book, we would be able to tell exactly what had happened: the letter "I" had been deleted from the sentence, and everything following would be messed up. A single deletion throws off the whole code from that point on. Thus, for chimps and humans, the instructions become gibberish, and the protein molecules produced according to that gene's instructions are now badly mangled and unable to function.
As you go back and examine sequence in the human/chimp pseudogene, notice how both species carry the exact same deletion. This suggests that the occurrence of this single deletion occurred in one individual, a common ancestor with whom both species have a shared backstory.
Let's return to our book analogy. Presumably all copies of the second edition had the exact same non-functional sentence about the BIG RAT. If someone was to examine two second edition copies of the book, each of which were missing that same letter, "I," it would be unthinkable to propose that the exact same mistake occurred independently in the printing of each of the two books. Similarly, it would be incorrect to propose that the new incoherent sentence had some important meaning which literary scholars will discover some day. We would know, plain and simple, that a mistake had occurred. Anything other than that would be highly contrived.
Today both chimps and humans carry the exact same mutation because they both have the same backstory. However, it is even more poignant than that. There are 20,000 pseudogenes in the human genome. Each has its own unique backstory. Each can be traced out in the same manner we have just done for this one.
The hypothesis of common ancestry makes precise predictions about how pseudogenes will be distributed in related species. Once a gene has been mutated into a pseudogene in a certain species, that pseudogene with its specific inactivating mutation will be passed on to all descendents of that species.
The figure below demonstrates this for a specific pseudogene, which we will term pseudogene "y." Note that in a very specific individual at a very specific time, gene "y" underwent a change in its code—it mutated. That altered code was passed on to the subsequent generations and ended up in two daughter species, Species A and Species B.
Now consider a second gene, which we call "x." It also underwent a mutation, but did so earlier in the lineage. Let's call the new mutated form of this gene pseudogene "x." This is shown in the next figure. Since this mutation occurred earlier in the lineage in an organism that was a common ancestor to Species A, B, and C, all three of these species carry the abnormal, non-functional version of "x." The lineage to species D, however, had already broken away. It does not carry the mutated version of "x."
Finally, consider another gene, which we'll call "z." This gene is perfectly functional in Species A, B, and D. However, when you examine its code in Species C, guess what? It carries a non-functional pseudogene. What do you think has happened here? This is a recent change, so recent that it occurred in an individual whose ancestors only went on to become Species C. Here is a summary figure which illustrates the time at which each of the three mutations occurred and the ramifications of each change.
In this example, since gene "x" is mutated to a pseudogene in the common ancestor of species A, B and C, we would expect to find this pseudogene, with the same exact inactivating mutation, in these three species. Similarly, the pseudogene version of gene "y" with exactly the same code-change should be found only in species A and B. Finally, there are many cases in which a pseudogene is found only within one species, or, at most, a couple of closely related sister species. Pseudogene "z" is our example of that.
If life really does have a backstory of this sort, then you can see the power of this technique for tracing the lineage. It allows us to trace the history of life, species by species. Interestingly though, there have long been other—non-genetic—ways of tracing life's history. Biologists have been using these alternative methods for many decades. For example, by examining fossils (paleontology) and tracing changes in body structure (comparative anatomy), the history of life had already been pretty much worked out before DNA sequencing data ever came into the picture.
For the most part, the data which are emerging from DNA sequencing projects simply verify that which biologists have known for years through these other methods of exploring life's history. Still, the results are extremely gratifying in their consistency. In science, one looks for corroborating evidence. If the DNA data had suggested totally different lineages, then there would have been good reason to doubt the common descent hypothesis. Such is not the case though. The supporting data keep piling up; there is no longer any doubt.
Remember how science works. If there are multiple lines of evidence—each internally consistent with the central overarching principle—a consensus is reached. The theory is judged to be correct and the scientists move on to further explore its ramifications.
If the theory of common descent is true, then it also makes predictions about what we would not expect to find at the genetic level. We go on to explore this topic in our next post.

I always hear people say things like, 'the debt was too large' ... well, why? Why couldn't I pay for my own sin?
I don't like that Jesus took punishment for me, I would hate for my earthly father to get fined or beaten or imprisoned for me, it would enrage me, it's completely unfair. I want to pay the price myself. Why can't I?
The only thing that seems to make sense is that for some reason there had to be a blood sacrfice and that sacrfice had to be a perfect being (similar to how animals could not be sacrficed if they had any defects.) ... but why? Why does the person/animal dying need to be perfect? It doesn't make sense to me yet, I know it's the truth because I believe in God but I feel like there's a block in my understanding, like I'm waiting for a lightbulb moment where I go 'ahhhh ok now I get it.' PLEASE DON'T SAY 'there are some things we will never understand because God is God and mysterious and we just have to deal with that.' I don't believe that is the case with such a critically important issue. The early Christians seemed to have such a good grasp on the whole concept but it's evading me. Please offer your understanding if you get it. Please don't say anything if you're not 100% sure.
Thank you so much, I really want to get this so I can move forward in my faith.

Our primary research interest is in the biology, pathogenesis and drug resistance in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Patients infected with this parasite can be completely asymptomatic or develop severe disease resulting in death. The goal of our research has been to define the molecular mechanisms that underlie this variation in disease outcomes in P. falciparum. Toward this goal, we have developed a new pathogenesis model through the analysis of in vivo parasite biology and associated host factors using a whole genome approach. We have identified novel parasite biology when it resides in the human host; this biology has not been reported under in vitro cultivation and may play a role in enhanced virulence and/or transmission capacity. To further understand the implications of these novel in vivo states we will study the parasite under in vitro conditions that mimic host blood stream conditions. We have also identified distinct host states associated with clinical disease phenotypes. This may suggest that the host context modulates infection outcome. The long term goal is to identify parasite and host processes involved in disease to serve as targets for vaccine or chemotherapeutic development. In addition we have begun to identify parasite specific small molecules to study its biology using a complementary approach and potentially these molecules could serve as biomarkers of infection. We carry out field based translational studies in cohorts infected with malaria in Africa and these inform our experimental work using basic molecular biology approaches in the laboratory.

UK-based travel company
is offering a luxury world drinking tour in which you can learn and demonstrate the art of conspicuous consumption.
Starting and ending in London -- although pickups are possible elsewhere -- the ultimate hedonistic, money-no-object vacation takes in the world's best hotels, swankiest restaurants and most exclusive bars in 10 upmarket destinations.
En route, drinkers take in the universe's most ludicrously expensive niche beverages.

Half a mil for champagne
In Monaco, members of the bottomless budget brigade will mingle with other surreally high net individuals at the high end Hotel Hermitage Monte-Carlo and party at Flavio Briatore's Billionaire Sunset Lounge in the hotel Fairmont Monte Carlo, quaffing selections from the $565,000 "in-house Armand de Brignac Dynastie" champagne collection.

It all comes complete with fawning waiters and diamond-filled ice buckets.
"We spend the first three nights in London in the five-star Corinthia Hotel and hang out in the Playboy Club, Park Lane, Mayfair," says Byron Warmington of Holidaysplease.
Hef once said: "Life needs to be lived with a sense of style."
As a taste of things to come, surrounded by grinning Bunnies, guests will sample the glam high life and swallow what's reported to be the second most expensive drink in the history of mixology.
The Legacy cocktail includes 1788 Clos de Griffier Vieux Cognac, which comes in at $21,000 for a 40 ml shot.
It also includes ancient Kummel liqueur, vintage orange Curacao and four dashes of circa 1900 Angostura bitters.
The glass it comes in isn't an antique.

Slum it with $5,000 wine in German
The next day, at Covent Garden's Belgo Bierodrome, guests get to sample one of the world's all-time dearest beers -- Vieille Bon Secours, brewed by Caulier in Belgium's Wallonia region.
Then, to please those into rare Rieslings, it's off to Frankfurt for a bottle of Egon Muller (only $5,000) and a personalized "executive" Mosel factory tour.
Members don't just drink well --they sleep well on this trip, too.

France is the next stop with an extended tasting at Cognac's Grey Goose distillery.
In Lyon, there's R&R with a $24,000 bottle of Henri Jayer Richebourg Grand Cru '78.
A complimentary VIP tour of the Cote de Nuits is thrown in.
The whole ludicrously self-indulgent trip is all-inclusive.
Aspirin is complimentary. And limitless.
Holidaysplease also offers a six-month, 12-country gourmet odyssey with tables booked at all 107 of the world's Michelin three-star restaurants.
People you could be drinking with
A couple from Phoenix, Arizona, have reportedly already booked the drinking tour, as have two British drinkers with deep pockets and credit to burn.
After Bordeaux, there's a renal rest stop in Dubai (staying at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel), then it's onto Singapore and The Long Bar at Raffles Singapore for a bargain-priced but relatively downmarket fifty-buck Gin Sling.
At Melbourne's The Crown Entertainment Complex guests will be handed a Winston, which mostly comprises a 19th-century Cognac coming in at $170,000 a bottle.
With a dash of Grand Marnier, a soupçon of Chartreuse, a hefty dose of Cognac and a dash of those much sought after select Caribbean Angostura Bitters, one was sold in February 2013 for nearly $13,000, earning it a
Guinness World Record for the costliest cocktail in the world
"The Winston was the culmination of multiple parties," says Joel Heffernan, executive mixologist at Crown Melbourne's Club 23 bar and creator of the cocktail.
"The Folle Branche grape variety used to make the vintage cognac doesn't exist anymore. I wanted to pay homage to that grape.
"It's named after Churchill as he and Eisenhower allegedly drank 1858 Croizet Cuvee Leonie while planning the D-Day invasion.
"It's the Cognac that makes the drink special."
The drink makes a signature Churchill Downs Kentucky Derby Mint julep look like a can of Mountain Dew.
It's served with garnishes that include chocolate nutmeg dust, poppy seed essence, rose essence and a little coconut.
And it takes two days to make.

Vegas venture
No over-the-top, absurdly decadent vacation is complete without a stay in Las Vegas where drinkers will be served an iconic Ono Champagne cocktail-for-two at the Aria Resort and Casino Las Vegas.
It's made with Charles Heidsieck Champagne Charlie 1981 and super-rare Louis XIII de Remy Martin Black Pearl Cognac, Sence Rose Nectar, freshly squeezed orange juice and apricot puree.
It's sometimes served in a gold-rimmed Baccarat Champagne flute.
In some places, anyone who orders one also gets a rather nice gold necklace and Mont Blanc cuff links.
There's more wining and dining at astronomical prices before a visit to New York's Algonquin Hotel Times Square, Autograph Collection, and a thirst-quenching $20,000 diamond-filled martini, served by the man with the steadiest hands in the city, food and beverage director Alex Aubry.
"I ordered a carat in my martini. Not a carrot."

"Awaiting you when you arrive back in London will be the ultimate goody bag," says Warmington.
"Three of the most collectable bottles on the planet -- $13,500 Legacy by Angostura rum, $170,000 64-year-old limited edition Dalmore Trinitas whisky and Penfolds Ampoule red wine, of which only 12 bottles were made."
If you could buy that bottle in a liquor store it would set you back an estimated $18,500.
"Many people quote once-in-a-lifetime holidays but we think this genuinely is," says Warmington. "It's all about the fun of lavish parties, the culture of the wine tours and the extravagance of sipping a cocktail that literally costs hundreds of dollars per sip.
"This holiday is unique. And will provide the ultimate dinner party story."
Unless your guests one-up you and bring along a $6.2 million bottle of Isabella's Islay single malt in an English crystal decanter with 8,500 diamonds and quite a few rubies encrusted on it, too.

Conquering Kerbal Space Program EPISODE 4: In this episode, I'm just gathering some science around the Kerbal Space Center, exploiting some of the games more ridiculous rules of exploration before using the rewards of that labor to unlock some technologies.
This is, admittedly, one of the less entertaining episodes… don't worry though, there's plenty of good stuff ahead to make up for it! 🙂
The ultimate goal of my Conquering Kerbal Space Program series is to put a fully 100% self-sufficient base (closed-loop) on the surface of every planet in the stock solar system (orbital station on gas giant). We're running with TAC Life Support and RemoteTech as well, to spice up the difficulty here.
Conquering KSP Playlist: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsBoF66x4ZmAMbs-BAIYv6rjs5txolj6m
New Episodes will be posted here when they are edited and available, and may take different forms and pace as time goes on. A link to a full post covering the episode will be linked as the first thing in this description.
Kerbal Space Program isn't your typical game, and as we're going to find out together, it's a real challenge, and it doesn't hold your hand or tell you really how to do anything… and that's what I LOVE about this!
SAVE MONEY ON KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM by buying it on Kinguin. I'll receive a commission on this link, and you receive the full game for way less! www.kinguin.net/category/4265/kerbal-space-early-access-steam-key/?r=11604

The first 15 or so videos of this series are actually already recorded! I just have to edit them in between my other work, but at least I can likely get them updated regularly here. If you like this series, be sure to give me a thumbs up letting me know! – We'll likely start out slow to get you familiar with the basics of the game (I go through things assuming none of you have played it, and assuming none of you know anything about space or aerodynamics).
I hope you enjoy this series as much as I do. This will be a heavily modded play-through with the new KSP 1.1.x version, in 64-bit mode! Woot!
Mod list is located at hottipscentral.com/ksp-mods/ and may change as time goes on. The mod list will always be updated to what I'm using in the latest recording (not upload), and may not actually reflect the mods active in individual videos.

Reviewed By Scott B (Traverse City, MI) Reviewed for a 1970 Volkswagen Beetle —4/12/2013 6:25 AM
I installed these mirrors on my 1970 custom beetle and they look sweet. I didn't have turn signals on the front of my beetle so I knocked out two birds with one stone..I have stylish little mirrors and turn signals. They were easy to install although I was glad I had some rubber material lying around that I cut into shapes for in between the mounting surface and the car. If they would have had that included the item would have been perfect for what I needed. Overall the mirrors are great!

Ferrari 458 Italia is "Best of the Best" for Robb Report China
Maranello, 27th September – The 458 Italia's success continues unabated. Just last night, in fact, the car won its sixth award of 2010 when it was named Super Sportscar of the Year at a ceremony in Shanghai. The "Best of the Best Award" came courtesy of the editors at the prestige international Robb Report China magazine. They were flanked in their decision-making by a panel of automotive experts and chose the 458 Italia over the many competitors in its category.
In the 12 months since its unveiling at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the 458 Italia has earned widespread critical and public acclaim, not merely in response to high profile achievements such as being named Car of the Year by BBC's Top Gear Magazine, but also as a result of its performance in very tough test-drives on both track and road. In recent months, the mid-rear engined 8-cylinder has undergone in-depth specialist testing right across the globe which have highlighted its exceptional performance standards and superlative driving pleasure. In fact, the authoritative British car magazine, Autocar described it thus: "The 458 Italia is the new sportscar benchmark".
