This Master Lock dialSpeed ditches the old combination wheels of yore and flimsy directional joysticks of two years ago for something more techy: an electronic directional interface that's more like a d-pad than a lock. You can customize the code, create multiple unlock codes and if you've forgotten 'em all, use a master code.
The dialSpeed has a permanent backup master code you can dig up at Masterlockvault.com but if you want to get creative, you can program your own directional code with an option for three guest codes (cue: Contra code). And though the dialSpeed looks and sounds a lot like the Master Lock Speed Dial, the Speed Dial used an analog joystick to register directions, the dialSpeed unlocks itself by tapping the directional arrows.
To get a better idea, the video shows how the Master Lock dialSpeed works. $25 [Master Lock via Uncrate]

Hi everyone!
So some quick background. You probably remember entering something for the 'captcha' when you signed up? Unless you've been around a long time. Previously members had to enter some kind of words or characters which are displayed on a background or distorted, and recently we were using a service called reCaptcha. But sometime, not long ago, that broke, and members couldn't sign up anymore.
So we're adding a new security feature where members need to answer one of any number of specific questions. For example, temporarily, here are the two questions we're using:
Enter the missing name. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and ___
Fill in the blank. Cao Pi's father, and the founder of Wei, was ___
Here's the ideal. It would be great to have a question, or questions, which pretty much every legitimate would-be member of our community can answer, but which some kind of script or bot can't find the answer for using the provided sentence.
One example might be:
"Enter the name of a book, historic period, or game upon which this forum is based."
And we can enter multiple answers to cater to different tastes.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Romance of Three Kingdoms
Three Kingdoms
Sanguo Yanyi
San Guo Yan Yi
Dynasty Warriors
... (etc)
I would love to hear some thoughts and ideas on what you think might or might not work.

Q: My mother-in-law has a water garden in her yard. One of her gold fish now has no rear fin. It looks like he had gotten stuck between some rocks or something had gotten a hold of it. The fish is now laying in the rocks, but having a hard time swimming. What do I do? -Faith of Granite Falls, NC
A: When a fish begins to lose their fins or tail, it is usually referred to as "fin rot" which is a bacterial infection. This can happen for many reasons such as stress, poor water quality and/or an over population of fish. Any one of these can all cause a fish's immune system to become weak making it vulnerable to bacterial infections.
If your fish already shows signs of "fin rot", the following is recommended: Melafix , Pond Salt and Medicated Fish Food. This will treat both externally and internally. Depending on the size of your pond and your ability to isolate sick fish you can choose to treat your entire pond or set up a treatment tank.
Good Fish Keeping Tips to Prevent Diseases:
1.) Use Pond Salt to lower stress. Adding pond salt to your pond will lower stress as well as treat for almost 80% of the common fish diseases.
2.) Maintain good water quality! This can be accomplished by having an adequate filtration system, reducing fish population, less frequent feedings (and use high quality fish food) and by adding natural bacteria such as the DefensePAC® to reduce excess nutrients.
3.) DO A SPRING CLEAN OUT!!! Empty the water out if possible, power wash and remove bottom sludge and algae. Oxy-Lift™ Defense® can be a great tool when doing a clean out or performing regular maintenance.
4.) Perform regular water changes. You should do a 10-25% water change every 1-2 weeks. When doing water changes it is always recommended to use Water Conditioner to remove and detoxify chloramines and heavy metals.
5.) Add floating plants such as Water Lettuce and Water Hyacinth to reduce excess nutrients.
Melafix Dosage rate:
You will need ¼ cupful (60 ml) for every 600 U.S. gallons (2,280 L) of pond water. Repeat dose daily for seven days. Results can be seen is as little as four days.
Dosage rate for Pond Salt when treating for disease:
Use 5 cups of salt per 100 gallons – Note at this rate you will have to remove pond plants from the treated pond. If removing plant is not possible, isolate the sick fish into another tank with vigorous aeration.
Dosage rate for Pond Salt to prevent diseases:
1-1/4 cups per 100 gallons (for ponds with plants) and 2-1/2 cups per 100 gallons for ponds without plants.

The Rules of the British Go Championships are the definitive reference.
For those of you who do not have time to read all of the rules and just want to know how to win, here is a brief summary:
To start with, if you want to be British Go Champion, you have to be "British". We take that to mean that either you are eligible to hold a British passport, or that you will have lived in this country for five years. Then, since the British Go Association goes to the effort of running the Championship, all competitors have to be paid-up members of the Association.
Once you have dealt with these requirements you will have to play some Go. In fact you need to plan ahead a little bit because to win next year's Championship you must qualify this (calendar) year. You can qualify from any of the many tournaments that take place around Europe each year (provided that they are rated on the European rating system). All you need is to play the entire event (that is not to drop out early or just ghost the odd round) and end the event with 1900 or higher. Please note that deliberately entering an event at too high a grade just to get a 1900 rating will not be tolerated.
The British Championship proper comprises three tournaments. First you must win through the Candidates' Tournament. The event is announced in Upcoming Tournaments and also the electronic Newsletter. It is held on the first May bank holiday weekend. All the players who qualified in the year to 31st March play in a six round Swiss-style tournament. The top six (or possibly sometimes five) players gain a place in stage two. If you want to be on the safe side, I advise you to win five of your games, but if you can only manage four then you may qualify, if you are lucky with the tie break.
Stage two is the Challengers' League. This is an eight-player all-play-all tournament that normally takes place from the Friday to the Monday of the second May Bank Holiday or a later weekend if there is a clash with the WAGC. You and the other five qualifiers are joined by the participants in last year's title match. The organiser would be quite pleased if you could beat all seven of your adversaries outright. Then you are the clear winner of the league and progress to the Title Match as the first challenger. If you come second you will also play in the Title Match as the second challenger. If there is a tie for first or second place in the league, those involved may have to have a play-off game (on the Monday afternoon) to decide the second challenger.
So now you are in the title match. This is the last hurdle but the biggest. A best of three or five series of games against the other winner from the League. Each player has "Fischer time" of 120 minutes + 30 seconds/move (the equivalent of about three hours on the clock) for each game. These are some of the longest time limits in any European competition.
Good luck! You only have to win about 15 games of Go from start to finish of the process. What is so difficult about that?
Of course there is more to the Championship than winning. After all, only one person can win each year, but lots of other players take part, play some serious Go, enjoy themselves, and aim to achieve what they themselves consider success.
These rules were amended for the 2006 Championship, to change the way of qualifying for each of the stages, and also the length and timing of some of the stages. In 2008 AGA Rules were adopted.
Until 2006 the Champion did not need to play the Challengers' League and also some of the best players did not play the Candidates'. Since 2000 qualifying was based on the number of wins at certain levels in British tournaments, rather than achieved rating after events as in the new system.
For reference, some old versions of the rules and pages detailing changes have been preserved:

Jimquisition: Fake Nerd Girls
Pages 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 . . . 23 NEXT
The latest flavor in the restaurant of controversy is the concept of the fake nerd girl -- women who pretend to like videogames and similar media, all for the express purpose of tricking honest, hard-working Americans.
The only issue I can think off is these people is they do exist are likely to be the same kind of people who 10 years ago would have bullied someone for liking games so I can see the problem there.
I've never understood this shit. "Waaah! That girl in the pikachu suit can't name all 6 million and 5 pokemon! This wounds me deeply for reasons."
Stop wasting my air.
I rarely agree this much with him. Seriously, why would anyone get upset over a person being so desperate for your attention that she pretends to like what you do just to get attention? It seems like a strange thing to get upset over, but I don't know.
I think I need to watch the first half again. I got distracted by that frankly baffling game footage with the chunky people running through walls...
Hmm, although Jim s calling them out and ridiculing their outrage (those gamer who feel offended by fake-gaming-girls); I truly don't see the point. It is a non-issue coming from a non-entity causing no repercussions.
Repeating Jim's comments: is this a thing, Internet? Really?
This 'Fake Nerd Girl' thing is insane and frankly only worth laughing at. Think about it, why would ANYONE pretend to be a nerd to get the attention of the sort of prat who would call them out on it for whatever badly thought out reason they have?
I think the problem that Jim didn't talk about was exploitation.
isn't this just an extention of the booth babe thing?
you know, girls dressing up to pretend to like a game they're promoting.
otherwise, I got nothin'.
I guess the only reasonable feeling would be disappointment, as you think there's somebody who shares interests with you, and then it turns out they're sort of putting it on. Again this is assuming they exist. I mean I claim to like American Football but if I occasionally get mixed up with certain players or retarded phrases they use to describe elements of the game it doesn't mean I'm lying. Surely its just more likely that the interest in nerd culture may be a bit exaggerated rather than simply false.
Also, WHAT DID SHE SAY!!!????
Yes, I would like to get that question answered too. Is this something you see done a lot? Because I certainly haven't.
OT, even if it was a thing, like Jim said, what of it? It's not hurting anyone, at least not now, nor is it enforcing any stereotypes, except of those of alone angry gamers who don't like social interaction with other gender.
congrats to Megan and Jared
assuming she said yes lol
I'm not sure where's all this dumb idea comes from... Really, Jim, where did you find this "Fake Nerd Girls" thing?
I've known several girls who were into videogames, including one who was really into Mortal Kombat games, Armageddon in particular.
When gamers wonder why we're not taken seriously? Why we're still held at a distance by the mainstream media?
Things like this.
I want to hear Megan and Jared's story! :O
Disagree here, pandering CAN be insulting on it's own.
Like when I'm whatching an anime and the heroine is obviously put together as a male wish fulfillment character, being quirky, and in love with the fat miserable nerd protagonist, etc. It doesn't hurt anyone, but it's kind of insulting my intelligence.
I'm not sure either if a ort of IRL equivalent to that really exists somewhere, with girls trying to invoke something like this, and you obviously shouldn't be stereotyping gamer girls in general ('cause that's just mysoginistic), or obsess over who is and isn't a true nerd ('cause that's just sad), but i see that there MIGHT be occasional blatant cases that feel insultingly manipulative.
You should be more worried about whether she'll fake an orgasm than if she'll fake interest in video games.
Even in this case, most of the manipulation is being put together by men, not the women you're seeing in front of you. It's a predominantly suited, rich, male few who run the industry, as I said at the end, and if you should be mad at anybody for being patronized, it ought to be them.
Look who's pulling the strings if you're sick of being treated like a puppet.
Um, can someone please tell me what is the name of that game with big burly men running through walls?
There's one side to this argument I do get: Somehow it is suddenly socially acceptable - judging by the tons of "I'm so nerdy!" facebook statuses even admirable - to be a nerd. This does definitely feel like it's devaluing the effort it takes to survive as a nerd, say, in high school.
TLDR: It's ridiculous, unreasonable and nothing we should really waste time on - and, really, discussing it would probably cause more harm than good - but I get where it comes from.
Its usually more to do with the fact that said "fake gamer girls"
Or, rather to use an analogy,
It's like a person pretends to be a movie soak when they've only ever seen Twilight and Transformers.
Also, this is the internet, it always blows shit out of proportion.
EDIT: the only time I've experienced anything close to this was when a guy in my science class tried to act like Sheldon Cooper every lesson, whilst sitting next to me.
God, was that annoying(proves to show that it can happen with both Genders(and is also not limited to attractive women,but that's a story for another time))
Muscle March.
That, too.
There are lots of people who keep making basic Star Wars references, or watching summer blockbuster superhero movies, and call themselves nerds on that account, but it is more likely that they got used to a definition of the word that is genuinely different from the definition of someone who lives on the Internet, than that they constantly say themselves "Today I will pretend to be a nerd just for shits and giggles."
What???? People really think this is an issue????? Seriously?????
Sports guys, car guys and porn guys have been dealing with this for damned decades. Sex sells, live with it. This is just a sign of how mainstream games have become. If you are so gullible that something simply having breasts attached to the item causes you to no longer be able to rationally purchase a product, I don't think that problem with the company who is using hot chicks to market their wares.
Jim, this has been going on for a while. this is not a complaint, but more surprise, as you usually have your finger on the pulse of current events. There's been a meme, a counter meme, a counter counter meme, and a counter counter counter counter meme.
Now, I'm not exactly pissing myself over the "Fake Nerd Girls" thing, but there isone element that bigs me a little: I resent being patronised. And I belive you, Mr Sterling, have expressed similar feelings in the past. Now, that doesn't mean these girls exist or exist in large numbers, so I'm not losing sleep, but I find the concept itself to be kind of irritating just because of that. I don't like being patronised here or anywhere else. I don't like lowest common denominator pandering or the concept that I can be dragged around by my penis.
And that's where this all seemed to start. A couple years ago, this was all about how Hollywood and the gaming industry were both trying to lure us with fake geeks in a shameless attempt to grab money. Megan Fox came up frequently. Is she a fake nerd? I don't know. She's a shite actress and that's enough for me not to care. She lacks sufficient personality to play a blender, so no amount of nerd cred means anything to me.
Now, that's probably the grain of truth this ball of crap has wrapped itself around, but still.
Also, I do sort of resent the notion that we can only associate with our own. This doesn't so much affect a woman cosplaying at some con, but again goes to the notion of corporate condescension. Like we can't possibly relate to ZOMG A WIMMINZ without her being so dorky she has an opinion on whether Han or Greedo shot first. Or unless she's a 2-D sex toy, but that's another story.
However, with this tirade over, I still will say my Rosaries: Thank God for Jim.
Now, I'm rather annoyed by pretenders in general because I dislike disingenuous, but I've never actually judged someone immediately. I usually wait until they start talking and betray a lack of actual knowledge of the subject matter they pretend to be interested in before calling them out. But in all honest, I've never actually met a "fake gamer girl." Met a few fake nerds (boys and girls both on that), but never a fake gamer. I've met a few people who say they'd like to be gamers, but can't figure games out (which doesn't surprise me, because there aren't really that many good games out there that are good for teaching non-gamers how to get into hardcore games anymore, versus the 8 and 16-bit era, where every game was a good introduction to gaming), but that's usually as far as it goes.
Now, there's a subject to discuss. Anybody notice how a lot of hardcore games are really hard to get into if you haven't been a gamer all your life. Games today are built so much around the assumption that you already have the basic skills acquired from a lifetime of playing the simpler games of the earlier eras that they're impenetrable for a new audience.
That was my thought as well.
I have no idea why someone would complain about such things.
Wait, how does that work?
Yes, and likely that is what many of the complainers already mean, when they comment that "Lol, that ad just pulled a Fake Nerd Girl", or "that actress is just played up for Fake Nerd Girl appeal".
But your video just covered the worst possible conclusions of why one might use the phrase, while associating them with everyone else as well. That the very idea is inherently stupid, and everyone should feel bad about themselves for considering to bring it up.
Shaming everyone who might use a phrase or discuss a trend, rather than the people who misuse it.
I was going to ask the same thing. Actually looks pretty fun XD
Well done Jim, though this situation was a lot worse a few months ago... at least in this community anyway.
The idea that some guys could be so arrogant as to assume that a woman only shows an interest in video games because they desperately want to... somenottosviolatingword a nerd is what get me.
Also that they think this is a bad thing. "Ew, icky girls want to touch me!"
I don't really have a problem with fake game girls, my issue lately has been these 3DS commercials that go along the lines of "I'm blerhblah and I'm not a gamer, but with my 3DS I'm a blibbitybler" ect. Would be interested to hear Jim's thoughts on that one
Fake Gamer Girl? Never really noticed an issue with such thing, the closest thing I can think of is the hipster with fake glasses that go like "Lol I'm such a nerd!" on facebook. I wanna slap them in the back of the head and go "No, you're not".
That is the closest I can get to hating fake nerd girls..
I think people get annoyed by cynical media, I don't like alot of internet personalities, both male and female, because I don't think their informed enough to give noteworthy opinions.
The problem with attractive women having success with it, is that geeks/gamers have to look at the people they consider their community and realise that they're just a bunch of horny idiots like everyone else (probably moreso).
I never noticed that this thing is as big as Jim claims. He really must have had very little inspiration this time.
Still, if someone is a fake, calling him or her out for it is justified. It's also fun.
This is not something exclusive to gamers. Posers are never popular, whether it's music, politics, anything really.

ROCHESTER — Thursday night, the Building Committee met to discuss recent public safety improvements throughout the Rochester School District.
Superintendent Michael Hopkins informed Rochester School Board members many parents didn't realize some safety measures were installed in the all elementary schools and Rochester Middle School last September before the Newtown, Conn., Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings. All of those schools were equipped with Aiphone video intercoms for front-door video monitoring at the start of the school year.
The committee unanimously approved the installation of several more intercom systems, to be placed at the Superintendent's Office in the Community Center, Bud Carlson Academy, the Richard W. Creteau Regional Technology Center as well as Spaulding High School. Additional swiping card systems were approved for the Chamberlain Elementary School entrance from the parking lot and the William Allen Elementary School day care facility on Thursday as well, for a total price tag for all systems of $19,507.
Rochester resident Doris Gates asked the committee for an update on the district's space studies, which include the possibility for increasing security at Spaulding High School with mechanisms in place to protect all 55 exterior doors of the old structure. Hopkins said the district is waiting for solid estimates to come forward from Eckman Construction regarding elementary school projects, with an estimate expected to be received by Feb. 1.
Hopkins noted an estimate from the security company that worked to install the other monitoring systems is expected to be received by mid-January.

UNLV dance department students descended upon the studio theater Nov. 17-19 for this semester's student choreography concert. Hands met feet. Shoes were put on, then taken off again. The usual unitards were replaced with bra tops and tights and a measure of head-tip-eliciting content was well represented. And there was a rodent on a leash.
"Hands Meet Feet," the titular piece for the show, was exactly what it sounds like. Choreographer Margot Mink Colbert, one of the faculty in the department, had her dancers clamping onto their own (and other people's) lower appendages and trying to walk, roll and otherwise flail about the stage. The name of the piece was actually a nonverbal symbol from the Labanotation system, which is a type of writing system used to record choreography in incredible detail.
The piece was cerebral and postmodern and the quirkiness was enjoyable. A ferret, inserted seemingly last-minute at the end of the piece (on a leash and properly supervised, I should add) embodied the nature of the piece: strange, but cute. But still strange.
"Code Simulations" (or "Stimulations," in part of the program, which was probably a mistake but quite funny anyway) was a multifaceted piece by Michael Coleman. A gritty edge and some punchy choreography paired well with the electronic feel. Mood shifts drew thoughts of a circuit-breaker or switchboard and the interlacing movement completed the motif.
Krista Caskie's "Synthetic Consciousness" had a similar theme. Dancers Alex Lum and Summer Reece, both encased in different colored unitards, executed intriguing partnering. Technicians should also be lauded here, as the number was compelling from visuals alone.
"Hope," by Nichole Reyes, was a straightforward swirl of tulle and tenacity. The dancers seemed more aware of the audience, peering out from the stage emotionally. Jennie Carroll's "Through the Space" was multidirectional and had a similar effect. The bounding, wiggling movement combined with curious faces and bright strings in the soundtrack was worth cracking a smile for. The choreography was nicely musical and different enough to be interesting.
Novelty made an appearance, as it is wont to do in college dance shows. "Hound," choreographed and danced by Jaleesa Staten, centered on a television tuned to static downstage and an angst-filled, disrobing dancer with a mystifying inner monologue. RJ Hughes' "Music Box Boundaries" was more conventional, with tulle-garbed performers breaking out of respective boxes, only to be sucked back into them during the coda. Hughes added some swag to the familiar storyline, which kept the predictable ending from being too painful.
"I Am …" with choreography by Amanda Bakalas, used three mirrors positioned upstage, facing the audience, to convey the journey of three different relationships. Love, loss and breakups abounded and the piece ended on an exasperated note, with the dancers seeming to fight against the reflections.
Alex Lum's "Fresh Kicks" furthered the vein of poignancy with his anticonsumer, anticonformist message. A hop hop beat backed Avree Walker as he donned a pair of Nikes, the $100, pop culture status symbol. An army of masked Nike-wearers coalesced behind him, creepily infiltrating Walker's happy-go-lucky vibe. Eventually, the shoes came off and, as you might have guessed, Walker walked free. Like Hughes' piece, the strong execution of the number mitigated an over-hashed theme.
"Sojourner," Vikki Baltimore-Dale's jazz contribution, had a masculine, tribal energy and was more visually accessible than other pieces in the show. Hillary Gibson's "Celebracion de Movimiento," which ended the show, was similarly straightforward. "Here I Am, There I Go … Once Again" by Jesus Nanci was balletic and doleful, although the source of the somber notes remained obscured.
In a broad sense, this could be said for much of the show. Blossoms of inventiveness peeked through the concert, but it seems that college dance will always be college dance, with graduation deferred indefinitely.

Missouri teammates show support for Michael Sam
On Sunday, Michael Sam's story was published. If he is drafted in May, he will become the NFL's first openly gay player.
The Missouri defensive end — the co-SEC Defensive Player of the Year — told his teammates in August and recently spoke with The New York Times and ESPN's Outside the Lines.

Documents on Enforcement & Compliance Practices
Following oversight hearings on November 3, 2011 before the Subcommittee on Elections of the House of Representatives Committee on House Administration, the Commission released a number of documents relating to the enforcement and compliance processes.
The Commission has worked to further transparency and is pleased to advance this agency goal by making these internal documents available to the public.
The documents, which can be found at the links below, fall into three categories:
None of the documents made public in this collection bind the Commission, nor do they create substantive or procedural rights.
The 1997 enforcement manual and additional enforcement materials were compiled as internal guidance to Office of General Counsel ("OGC") staff. These materials are not a definitive or binding set of procedures, and were neither reviewed nor adopted by the Commission.
More recently, the Commission has adopted various policies designed to provide the public with additional information about the way the Commission makes decisions and operates, along with providing respondents with certain procedural safeguards. These policies were adopted in public and are available on the "Policy Statements, Interpretive Rules and Other Guidance" webpage.
Further, in May 2012, the Commission updated the "Guidebook for Complainants and Respondents on the FEC Enforcement Process" to reflect new enforcement-related policies adopted by the Commission. For current information on these topics, please refer to the Guidebook for Complainants and Respondents.
Enforcement Manual (dated November 1997)
This is an internal manual, much of which was compiled in 1997 by the Enforcement Division of OGC. This document has not been formally updated, and much of the information it contains has been superseded. The 1997 manual contains seven chapters, each addressing a different stage of the enforcement process as it existed some 15 years ago. The 1997 manual is organized to reflect the sequence of the enforcement process, beginning with the processing of complaints and referrals, and ending with a description of closeout procedures for Matters Under Review ("MURs"). It also contains a number of addenda addressing specific issues, as well as a guide on troubleshooting and proofreading documents. OGC is in the process of preparing a revised Enforcement Manual. OGC hopes to complete the formal Manual in 2013, and the Commission will make it available to the public at that time.
Additional Enforcement Materials
Also provided is a set of materials relating to certain historical enforcement procedures and practices. The collection, initiated in 1986 and compiled periodically, includes documents that might serve as reminders or guidance for Enforcement Division staff on a variety of substantive and procedural aspects of their work. The types of documents in this collection include emails, internal memoranda, summaries of Commission sessions and staff meetings, and Commission-approved procedures and directives. Like the 1997 manual, these materials reference past, non-binding practices and informal guidance within the agency. Enforcement staff do not routinely refer to these materials.
Included in these materials is a chart entitled "Calculating Opening Settlement Offers for Non-Knowing and Willful Violations." This chart is a compilation prepared by OGC memorializing the base formulas used by the Commission, to varying degrees in the past, to calculate opening settlement offers in individual enforcement MURs. OGC created the chart as a means to provide consistency between its recommendations to the Commission and the Commission's previous formal votes in other similar MURs. Depending on the circumstances of the matter, OGC has recommended, and the Commission has authorized, penalties either higher or lower than those set forth in the chart. The information in the chart reflects past opening settlement offers, not amounts that result after negotiations with a respondent. The Commission makes final settlement amounts public by placing approved Conciliation Agreements on its website.
Reports Analysis Division Documents
The Commission is also releasing the document the Reports Analysis Division ("RAD") uses in conducting its regular review of disclosure reports filed with the Commission. This document contains the procedures by which RAD conducts its regular review of reports filed by political committees and other filing entities, and by which it refers potential violations of the reporting requirements of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended ("the Act"), for possible enforcement action, whether through OGC, the Office of Alternative Dispute Resolution, or the Administrative Fines Program.
This document is revised every two years, corresponding with the election cycle, and is submitted to and ultimately approved by the Commission. The document is being provided in redacted form to protect the confidentiality of certain information concerning the Commission's thresholds for taking particular actions.

- Reports Analysis Division Review and Referral Procedures for the 2011-2012 Election Cycle: Unauthorized Committees, Title 2 Authorized Committees, and Title 26 Authorized Committees [PDF]
In addition, more information is available on the "Reports Analysis Division FAQ" webpage.
The Commission is releasing Audit documents that contain the materiality thresholds by which the Audit Division determines if an issue is significant enough to warrant inclusion as a finding in an audit report and is subsequently referable for possible enforcement action, whether through the OGC, the Office of Alternative Resolution, or the Administrative Fines Program.
- 2012 Cycle Materiality Thresholds - Authorized Committtees [PDF]
- 2012 Cycle Materiality Thresholds - Unauthorized Committees [PDF]
- 2012 Cycle Materiality Thresholds - Title 26 Presidential Candidates and Convention Committees [PDF]
- 2009-2010 Materiality Thresholds - Authorized Committees [PDF]
- 2009-2010 Materiality Thresholds - Unauthorized Committees [PDF]
- 2008 Cycle Materiality Thresholds - Title 26 Presidential Candidates and Convention Committees [PDF]
Each Title 2 document is revised every two years and each Title 26 document is revised every four years, corresponding with the election cycle, and is submitted to and ultimately approved by the Commission. The documents are being provided in redacted form to protect the confidentiality of certain information concerning the Commission's thresholds for taking particular action.
In addition, more information is available in the "The Audit Process –What to Expect" brochure.

The animation shows two co-axial wire loops carrying
current in the same sense (represented by the spheres) which are connected by a spring (not shown).
As the current is slowly ramped up, the magnetic force between the rings causes them to attract one another.
Then, as the current ramps down again, the restoring force of the spring returns them to their original separation distance.
We show the field configuration here using the "iron

three times the current of the top wire loop.

Last week, we wrote about how tech salaries are expected to increase in 2013, and another study is out today that provides more good news for people in tech jobs.
The study, performed by Seattle-based salary data company PayScale, analyzed trends by city, industry, company size and job category. Using data on all private-sector, full-time employees, PayScale found that annual growth in wages is the highest in three years, and especially high for jobs in the IT sector, in the Seattle region and at small companies.
The highest 12-month percentage change from Q3 2011 among job categories was for IT jobs at a 4.5 percent increase. Yearly growth for wages in both the professional, scientific, & tech services and the information, media & telecommunications (which contains software development) industries ranked third among 15 industries with a 4.1 percent increase.
The greater Seattle area (Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma) experienced an annual wage growth of 3.1 percent, which ranked sixth among 20 metros. San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont saw a growth of 3.6 percent.
Finally, small companies saw the highest annual wage growth with a 3.7 percent increase, compared to 2.4 percent for medium companies and 2.9 percent for large companies.
"In today's economy, employers are not really ramping up hiring, but they want to continue to increase productivity," Katie Bardaro, PayScale lead economist, said in a press release. "That means they need to incent their current workers to be more productive and ensure they don't lose top performers. The key to achieving both of these goals are pay increases. Therefore, pay increases can occur without large employment increases."

From the archives 2005: Top 10 Habs - No. 5 Henri Richard: The Pocket Rocket
Henri Richard
Photograph by: Steve Babineau, NHLI via Getty Images
Editor's note: This story was originally published in January 2005.
When the NHL lockout finally ends, Red Fisher will begin his 50th season on the Canadiens beat. In this feature series, which concludes today, Red picks his Top 10 Habs from the last half-century.
MONTREAL - Hockey has been blessed with the very best down the middle during the past five decades.
I have watched Wayne Gretzky from the first moment he and the Edmonton Oilers joined the NHL. Who has done as much for the game since he burst upon it with numbers that are unlikely ever to be matched?
What's there to be said about Mario Lemieux, who overcame terrible adversity to become what he meant to hockey?
Phil Esposito was a giant talent whose numbers have been eclipsed by Gretzky, but who will live forever in our minds as the player who made it happen in the 1972 series with the Soviets.
Bobby Clarke was the leader in Philadelphia. Jean Beliveau brought grace to the position, but listen to Canadiens GM Frank Selke Sr., whose teams won five consecutive Stanley Cups, when he was asked one day to comment on Henri Richard:
"I have been blessed with some of the greatest players in NHL history," Selke said, "but game in, game out, Henri Richard may have been the most valuable player I've ever had."
Think about it: what he was saying was that Henri, a member of a record 11 Stanley Cup teams, "may have been" more valuable than Beliveau and more valuable than his older brother, Maurice, and meant more to the team than Bernie Geoffrion, Jacques Plante and even Doug Harvey.
Nobody - not Selke, not coach Toe Blake, not any of the elite players on the Canadiens dynasty of the 1950s, had any idea what they were getting when Henri was invited to training camp before the start of the 1955-56 season. The game plan wasn't to keep him with the team, if only because hardly anybody ever went directly from junior hockey to this special team. He was too young, too small.
Furthermore, the mere idea of carrying the Richard name would be too heavy a cross to bear for the kid.
So ... invite him to training camp, let him play with the big boys for a little while - and then ship him out.
A funny thing happened during training camp, however.
"Sometimes, he'd infuriate me," Blake once told me. "He'd be out on the ice controlling the puck. His linemates would come off the ice and I knew exactly where to look for Henri: on the ice! Some people accused Henri of not being able to make a play. "
"I wouldn't start comparing him with somebody like Beliveau," Blake added, "but I know this: when Richard was on the ice, nobody else had the puck.
"At the start of training camp, we had no idea what we had. At the end, we couldn't send him back. The only thing we had to find out was how this little guy would react to the rough stuff. We didn't want a situation where Maurice would have to ride shotgun for him."
Henri was tested early and often, as Canadiens management had feared. What they discovered quickly was that Richard didn't want, nor did he need, help from his older brother. He was fearless. He was a Richard.
You should know that in the six-team NHL, bench- clearings were the rule rather than the exception. Teams met 14 times during the regular season, often on back-to-back nights. The benches cleared in Boston one night, and there was young Richard in the middle of it, taking on four Bruins, one after the other. He won the first three fights, including one over Jack Bionda, who towered over him. An exhausted Richard fought to a draw in a fourth against Fern Flaman, who was among the NHL's best and most feared fighters.
Years later, Flaman told me: "In all the years I played in the league, there was only one player I hated. Henri Richard!"
Richard shrugged when he was told about it the next day. "In all the years I played in the league, I was never afraid of Flaman!"
For 20 seasons, during which he scored 358 goals and 688 assists in 1,256 regular-season games, Henri played with a vigour born out of what appeared to be desperation. He would skate toward an opponent, duck low and start moving beyond him, leaving a defender with one of two options: drag him down and risk a penalty, or let him pass. They took the penalties.
Honesty often is a word used loosely when linked with athletes. Henri's integrity to the organization, to the people around him, to the game and to himself was non-negotiable. Others with more talent have been far less successful. Others surely have brought a bigger physical presence to the arena, had better shots and greater strengths. A few, not many, even might have had more speed. Cases can be made for names long forgotten in terms of feet, inches, accuracy and toughness, but has anybody ever invented a measuring stick to assess the size of a guy's heart?
He was getting long in the tooth when he led the Canadiens over Philadelphia in a punishing five-game playoff series. He was 37 and he poked fun at his tired legs and at the crow's-feet developing in bunches around his eyes, but he was the leader.
"He's the most inspirational player they have," Flyers forward Terry Crisp told me. "You nail him to the beam and he comes back and kills you. He didn't surprise me, because I've seen him do it before."
Richard died a little each time he fell into a prolonged slump, which is why he and Serge Savard once were involved in an ugly scene. Henri was still looking for his first goal midway through the season when the Canadiens won a 9-1 laugher over the Canucks in Vancouver. Nobody in the Canadiens room was laughing, however. It seems that many of them were distressed over a story that had appeared in a Montreal newspaper that morning.
The players felt the story infringed on their private lives.
"Let's keep the room closed," Jacques Laperriere suggested.
Richard disagreed. "Let 'em in. We can't keep reporters out. They've got a job to do."
"If you like them so much," Savard said, "why don't you sleep with them?"
Richard and Savard exchanged more words, whereupon Henri rose to his feet and walked toward him. Then, without warning, he slapped Savard's face.
The colour rose in the defenceman's cheeks, but he didn't retaliate.
"What would have been accomplished if I had?" Savard mentioned the next day. "I was mad about the story in the paper. If somebody wants to criticize me for playing badly, they can be as tough and as hard as they want. That's their job, but that's where it stops."
Henri was his own man on and off the ice - armed with a quick temper - who never hesitated to tell it like it is. If he was unhappy with constituted authority, he never hesitated to let it be known.
What he couldn't handle was not playing, like the time more than a dozen years into his career. He had missed some games with an injury. A young player named Jacques Lemaire was brought in as a replacement, played well, and was still playing well when Richard recovered. Management was reluctant to make a change. So Richard sat ... and simmered.
The game was less than an hour away on this night when GM Sam Pollock convened a hastily called press conference at the Forum. His face was beet red. He was nervous. Finally: "Uh ... I just want to announce that Henri Richard isn't here tonight. We don't know why."
Pollock knew the reason for Richard's absence: he couldn't handle the idea of sitting on the bench. He wanted time to think about it ... about where he was going and what to do about it.
"I'd rather pick garbage than sit on the bench," he told
reporters the next day.
One week later, properly contrite, he was back.
"I'll wait for my chance to play," he said. "I still have a lot of years left."
In time, the problem was resolved. He was to remain with the Canadiens until the end of the 1974-75 season, long enough to add four more Stanley Cups to his collection of seven.
Red Fisher's Top 10 Canadiens
Red's Top 10 Canadiens combined to win 71 Stanley Cups. Here's a look at the players profiled in this feature series:
No. 10: Serge Savard won eight Stanley Cups and was a member of the Big Three on defence with Guy Lapointe and Larry Robinson.
No. 9: Dickie Moore, a six-time Stanley Cup champion, won back-to-back scoring titles during the 1950s.
No. 8: Bob Gainey won five Stanley Cups and was one of the best defensive forwards in NHL history.
No. 7: Bernard (Boom Boom) Geoffrion, a member of six Stanley Cup teams, was the second NHL player to score 50 goals in a season.
No. 6: Defenceman Larry Robinson could do it all - skate, score and fight - en route to six Stanley Cups.
No. 5: Henri Richard won 11 Stanley Cups, an NHL record.
No. 4: Doug Harvey was the best defenceman of his time and played a key role on six Stanley Cup teams.
No. 3: Guy Lafleur, who won three NHL scoring titles, could electrify an audience like no other player with his speed and shot and was on five Stanley Cup teams.
No. 2: The legendary Maurice (Rocket) Richard was more than just a hockey player to Canadiens fans while winning eight Stanley Cups.
No. 1: Jean Beliveau spent 18 seasons with the Canadiens, winning 10 Stanley Cups while displaying unmatched class on and off the ice.

Two reviews from the opening night of Sundance 2020.
Ira Sachs' "Keep the Lights On" follows a long-term relationship between two men who possibly shouldn't have started it. They're not well suited to each other, and although their sex life is successful in the physical sense, it begins to stray in emotional meaning. By dropping in on this couple from time to time for the kinds of moments one of them might remember, the film is more honest than its characters.
It is said to be autobiographical, the story of Sachs' own relationship. I can believe that, because it contains the sorts of resentments and pleasures that accumulate between people. They say you always remember the good times and the bad times, but not the in-between times when nothing much is happening. Those moments are tricky for Erik and Paul, because if it weren't for their romance, they might not find anything compellingly interesting about each other.
Erik (Thure Lindhardt), the character based on Sachs, is a Danish documentary filmmaker living in Manhattan and working on a film about an underground filmmaker so obscure we never really learn why he's of interest. We find out later that Erik's family has money and presumably underwrites his career.
He meets Paul (Zachary Booth) through a phone sex chat line. Paul says he has a girlfriend, but arranges to meet Erik. What draws them together then is a casual desire for orgasm, and although they stay together in one way or another for years, it is hard to say if their attraction grows any deeper. Both men are very good-looking, and there is a sense that when they make love, they're looking into a mirror.
The film is expert at portraying their milieu: the places they live, the events they attend, their friends. We learn more about Erik's circle. His pal Claire (Julianne Nicholson) is chummy and supportive; her freckled smile is reassuring on general principles. His sister (Paprika Steen) despairs. How many years of his life can he spend making a film about a man who not even this film can bring to reality? Maybe he should … get a job?
Paul has one, as he sometimes reminds Erik. Money and expenses are not one of their problems until Paul (not Erik, as we might expect) drifts into cocaine and crack and that becomes the focus of his life. The truism in addiction circles that if you're in love with an addict, that person may indeed love you but loves and needs his substance of choice much more urgently.
Crack causes Paul to live carelessly, because he isn't always focused on the moment. They break up, reattach, and Erik tries to help him through rehab. There is a scene of lamentable sexual sloppiness that Paul will long regret unless he's lucky enough to lose it in a blackout.
What emerges here is a particular quality of Sachs' film: its time span. The two men are the focus of almost every scene. The outside world is a backdrop never much noticed. "Keep the Lights On" clearly takes place in Manhattan, but Sachs doesn't choose to display the close attention to location he did in such good earlier films as "Forty Shades of Blue" (2005), set in Memphis. When you summon memories of this film, they are almost always of two men in a room, in a default state of discontent.
I suspect there is a deeper truth to Erik and Paul that Sachs doesn't reach. He was there during this story. One of the characters is based on him. Neither Erik or Sachs quite really understands Paul, who ultimately is not such a nice guy. That's what I took away from the film: How a chunk of Erik's life broke loose under the power of another person he could never understand.

The Loss and the Silence: Aspects of Modernism in the Works of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien & Charles Williams is a 2011 book investigating the topic of modernism in the writings of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams. It is published as No. 22 in the Cormarë Series.
[edit] From the publisher
Traditionally, the "Inklings" C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and Charles Williams have been seen as separate from the literature of their time: as innovative in an idiosyncratic way at best, and as reactionary and in deliberate opposition to contemporary progressive writing at worst. Recent years have seen a gradual change in this view, but few studies to date have attempted to read Lewis, Tolkien and Williams alongside their most famous contemporaries: the literary modernists.This monograph represents the first full-length study to draw explicit and indepth comparisons between the Inklings and writers such as T.S. Eliot, W.B. Yeats, James Joyce, and David Jones among others. An examination of both thematic and structural concerns reveals a number of shared issues that go beyond mere responses to the cataclysmic events of the first half of the twentieth century. Myth as theme and structuring device, world-building as an attempt to render the author's subjective reality objective and authoritative, writing as an (unsuccessful) attempt to overcome the nightmare of history, and language as both the paradoxical means of creation and the reason creation must fail: these concerns and tensions are central to the works of both Inklings and modernists. In establishing that the works of Lewis, Tolkien and Williams contain aspects that can be termed 'modernist', this study also hopes to show that certain aspects of modernism might very well be termed "fantastic".

Size selection based on rating life
For applications where bearings are running in typical operating conditions – i.e. normal speeds, good lubrication conditions and not highly or peak loaded - determine the appropriate bearing size based on the required bearing life, taking into account the possible effects of rolling contact fatigue (RCF).
This section describes the bearing rating life equations and the factors that must be determined to make the evaluation:
- Bearing rating life – the basis for bearing rating life, showing how to calculate basic rating life, L10, and SKF rating life, L10m
- Basic dynamic load rating, C
- Equivalent dynamic bearing load, P
- Life modification factor, aSKF
- Lubrication condition – the viscosity ratio, κ
- Fatigue load limit, Pu
- Contamination factor, ηc

Grew up in a small town of Marshall, Wisconsin. Went to college for radio broadcasting at Brown College and after graduation, I got a job in Wausau, WI where in the five years I was there I worked my way up to full time overnights on the top 40 station. In the summer of 2005 I moved to Sioux Falls, South Dakota for the night position on KKLS. In 2007 I went from doing nights to afternoons and have been here ever since. I enjoy concerts, biking, traveling, college football, cooking new recipes and playing today's hottest music for the Sioux Empire.

COLUMBIA, Tenn. — A Columbia, Tennessee family said a single strand of Christmas lights led to their house catching on fire -- and now they're urging people to use caution when decking the halls.
Mary Morrison said the lights somehow caught fire at about 2:45 a.m. on Tuesday. Video shows the blaze spreading to nearby shrubs and eventually to the house by 3:47 a.m.

Thankfully, the family was woken up by smoke detectors.
Morrison said all of the Christmas lights were new and the outlet wasn't overloaded – but they did make the mistake of leaving the lights on all the time.
"A mistake many make, but could cost them their life," Morrison wrote. "Luckily, our smoke detectors saved our lives yesterday."
When the family woke up, smoke had already filled their kitchen and the front of the house was on fire.
The Maury County Fire Department arrived soon after the family called 911. Most of the damage was confined to the outside of the house and is repairable, but Morrison said the siding will have to be replaced.
Morrison said the lights were purchased from Walmart and were used only for a couple weeks before the fire broke out.
"Our mistake was leaving them on 24/7, we thought because it was only one strand of lights and we weren't overloading an outlet, we would be okay. It is the most terrifying thing to be woken up to a fire on your home," Morrison wrote.

The 2013-14 TV season officially ends this week with a slew of major programs. A few highlights:
"The Middle" filmed its season finale at Walt Disney World in March. You'll finally see the Hecks in this surprising plot at 8 p.m. Wednesday on ABC. Sue's victory in a hands-on-hard-body contest last week made the trip possible, and to end the season, the sitcom delivers a one-hour episode. The first-half takes a detour on the way to Orlando. The second half-hour presents the Hecks in the Magic Kingdom; they will not be curbing their rambunctious style on the road, ABC says. So stand back and watch.
"Modern Family" concludes its two-part wedding of Mitch and Cam at 9 p.m. Wednesday on ABC. A fire evacuation ended last week's episode, and more complications await. But the ABC photos do reveal that the couple do wed.
"Survivor" takes all of CBS prime time Wednesday, the season's final night, in hopes of upstaging "American Idol." Fans know the rountine: The two-hour season finale starts at 8 p.m.; the cast reunion follows at 10. Spencer, Tony, Kass and Woo are the four finalists.
"American Idol" names its winner in a season finale that runs from 8 to 10:06 p.m. Wednesday on Fox. But first, finalists Caleb Johnson and Jena Irene perform at 8 p.m. Tuesday. To fill the last final results show this season, Fox has lined up Kiss, John Legend, Lady Antebellum, Demi Lovato, Jason Mraz, Jennifer Nettles, Darius Rucker, Paramore and former champ Phillip Phillips. Phillips continues to do well, which underscores that "Idol" still produces stars.
NBC offers three finales on Wednesday. For "Revolution," it's end of the road at 8 p.m. NBC did not renew the drama. Yet there are season finales for "Law & Order: SVU" at 9 p.m. and "Chicago P.D." at 10.
ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" names its winner after one of the contest's best seasons. The four remaining celebrities -- Candace Cameron Bure, Meryl Davis, James Maslow and Amy Purdy -- perform in a 90-minute show at 8 p.m. Monday. The winner will be revealed at the end of a two-hour season finale that starts at 9 p.m. Tuesday. To fill that time, "Dancing" will offer musical performances by Cody Simpson, Ariana Grande, Christina Perri and last season's winner, Amber Riley.
The final performance show of "The Voice" will take two hours at 8 p.m. Monday on NBC. The finalists are Christina Grimmie from Team Adam, Josh Kaufman from Team Usher and Jake Worthington from Team Blake. The winner will be named in a two-hour show at 9 p.m. Tuesday. To fill that time, producers have lined up performances by Tim McGraw, Coldplay, OneRepublic and Ed Sheeran. All of the Top 20, including Orlando's Sisaundra Lewis, return to perform.
At 8 p.m. Tuesday, CBS counters with "Judge Judy Primetime," a special that brings the daytime star to the night Then CBS offers "ACM Presents: An All-Star Salute to the Troops" at 9. Blake Shelton is on this show as well as the "Voice" finale. The starry lineup includes Miranda Lambert, Toby Keith, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, George Strait, Luke Bryan and Merle Haggard. LL Cool J and Chris O'Donnell of "NCIS: Los Angeles" host.
"Supernatural" serves up the finale to its ninth season at 9 p.m. Tuesday on The CW. A nine-season run is amazing, and the drama will be back for season 10 in the fall.
The season finale of "Mike & Molly," at 9 p.m. Monday on CBS, dangles the possibility that Molly may be away for the summer at a writing workshop. What will Mike do? Watch reruns?
This busy week includes other beginnings and endings. "Warehouse 13" wraps up its run at 9 p.m. Monday on Syfy. CCH Pounder will star in "NCIS: New Orleans" on CBS next fall.
"The Bachelorette" returns to the ABC lineup at 9:30 p.m. Monday with Andi Dorfman as the title character. She had the good sense to leave the last "Bachelor," so she might be worth following.
You're sure to find more laughs with the Maya Rudolph special at 10 p.m. Monday on NBC. She was sensational this weekend as Beyonce on "Saturday Night Live."

They are called Crunchy Nutella Cookie Sandwiches. While having insomnia this past weekend, due to a sinus infection, I was watching a late night cooking show on the Oprah network, called Ambush Cook. They made these delicious looking cookies, and I just knew I had to make them too.
First you start with these amazing wafer thin crunchy sugary/oatmealy cookies
Then you spread yummy Nutella between two of the cookies.
And you get this...
Pure Heaven!! And the amazing thing, I had never had Nutella before this. Me being such a chocolate lover, had never tried it before now, but Now, it will be a staple in our pantry for sure.

One of the biggest challenges of being a mom is keeping up with our kids. Whether they're tiny infants or teenagers learning to drive, doesn't if often seem like we're learning right along with them? You could read all the parenting books in the world and still not have all the answers.
Luckily kids are resilient and most of us do learn quickly. But I know many of us wonder if we're doing a good job. I didn't have an ideal childhood myself and often fear I'm "messing up" my four children kids for the rest of their lives. But when I stop and really think about it, I know I'm far from perfect, but I'm doing okay.
My best friend and sister is mom to my darling little niece. She's an adorable precocious two year old who likes to keep her mom busy. And my sister often questions whether she's a good mom, just like I do. She's not perfect, just like the rest of us. But I see an amazing mom who adores her child and would do just about anything for her. I can see her love when she kisses her daughter's boo-boo or teaches her daughter how to pick up her toys.
I remember one time recently when my sister was sick and completely exhausted. Her daughter was overtired and screaming as she tried to tell her mom something, but neither her mom nor I could understand her. My friend ever so gently tipped her little girl's face up to her own and with the kind of love that only a mother can give, tenderly told her "I want to listen to you. Can you calm down so I can help you?" Yes, ordinary words, but the way she spoke them was extraordinary. And her daughter calmed down enough to communicate what she wanted (her favorite stuffed toy of course.)
Just like my sister and me, you may often feel inadequate or even that you're an awful mom. But dear friends, let me encourage you and share a few reasons why you're a good mom!
10 Reasons You're a Good Mom:
- Do your kids tell you they love you?
Or wrap their little arms around your neck in a squishy (maybe sticky) hug? They may even say they hate you, but that's okay too because it means you're setting limits.
- Are your kids happy?
Do they smile and laugh?
- Are you teaching your children to be polite?
To say please and thank you or yes ma'am, yes sir? {And it doesn't mean you're a bad mom when they forget or you're too tired to remind them!}
- Do your kids often interrupt you because they want to talk or play?
That's GOOD! I'm not saying you shouldn't teach them to be polite about it – that's something we're working on right now – but it's a good sign our kids are excited to share things with us.
- Is your house messy?
Maybe you spent time with your children instead of cleaning, doing laundry, or cooking a homemade dinner. Guess what? The laundry will never end and the house will always need to be cleaned, but your kids will only be young once.
- Do you research things like crazy because you want to make sure you're doing the best job you can?
But you also try to shut out all the noise from all the "experts" telling you what to do and just do what feels right for you and your family.
- Do you recognize that each child is unique?
They're each different – even close siblings – just like we are. And what works for one child doesn't work for another. If you realize this and treat your kids accordingly, you're already a step ahead of many parents.
- You work hard for your family.
Whether you work outside the home, work from home, or you're a stay at home mom, we ALL work hard for our families. Give yourself credit, friend!
- Sometimes you put yourself first.
Who else but you will recognize that YOU are exhausted and need a break? Sometimes you have to say "no" to one more after school activity even though it may be a good thing for your child because it's too much for YOU. It's the same reason why we're told on the airplane to put the oxygen mask on ourselves first and then the kids. I had to learn this lesson the hard way during my struggle with hypothyroidism the past couple years. And it's good for kids to realize the world doesn't revolve around them when they're still young.
- You regularly tell your children that you love them.
