Lance Bass has responded to reports suggesting his former boy band 'Nsync is preparing to perform reunite at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday.
The rumor mill was sent into overdrive on Tuesday with speculation that the Bye Bye Bye hitmakers will perform together at the ceremony in Brooklyn, New York when former bandmember Justin Timberlake receives the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.
Bass weighed in on the gossip during his SiriusXM radio show Dirty Pop, but he stopped short of confirming whether or not the comeback performance will take place.
He said, "Justin Timberlake is getting the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award this Sunday at the awards, so of course people are automatically going to think we're going to be there performing, but this is exactly how it happened and I knew these rumors were going to fly."
Bass admitted he feels partially responsible for sparking the excitement by posting a photo of himself with bandmates Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick on Instagram.com.
He adds, "I think that's what started the rumor that there's going to be this big reunion with 'NSYNC. It's amazing to see the reaction out there on Twitter and social media (and) how many people are supporting 'NSYNC. It's so nice to see because when we ended things (over) 10 years ago, there was no social media, there was no Twitter, but it's so cute to see how many people are supporting (us) and 'NSYNC was even trending."

Saw my first two Lincoln Park CaBi users this morning. Both of them were kitted out in full bike gear, which suggests to me that they're daily point-to-point Bikeshare commuters, which I think is an interesting. I tend to think of CaBis as post-Metro bikes when it's too far to walk or for quick errands, but it's abundantly clear that many, many people use them for the entirety of their bike commutes.
I didn't screw up my Constitution Avenue route this morning, though I question whether it's really any better than taking East Capitol, which has a bike lane. I filtered alongside a long row of stopped cars, which was fine, but seemed unnecessarily cramped. I've been taking Constitution all to avoid having to make the left turn from 1st St, NE since in my few previous attempts the light has seemed interminable.
To describe today as muggy is to undersell how truly horrible it was. The weather is just oppressive and for the end of September, downright terrible. I suspect that it also kept people off bikes since Penn Ave was empty, except for some guy I saw riding a Surly in the opposite direction. Lots of jaywalkers on that street too, but the bike lane is generally wide enough to provide ample room to accommodate them. Ease of use for pedestrians is one of those things you sacrifice when you design your city streets as if they were daily hosting military processions. Which happens only maybe every other day.
Speaking of pedestrians, a chain link fence in front of Treasury blocks the sidewalk and forces them to walk in the cycletrack. Does anyone know why this is? Does anyone have any pull with the Secret Service to make this fence go away? Is this some sort of stimulus program that I just don't know about? Do I need to stand in front as say "Mr. Geithner- tear down this fence!" instantly becoming a hero to all DC bike commuting Reagan nostalgics? (It is unclear is this subset actually exists).
At 15th and K, a woman on a beige cruiser crossed from the square, looked at me and rode her bike behind mine saying something like "I'll let you go first. You look fast." I can assure her that is not the case, but thanks anyway. Remember that ACS data from yesterday about bike commuters? This part specifically:
Of the 9,288 people in D.C. who biked to work in 2010, according to American Community Survey estimates, 6,303 were men compared to 2,985 women. In other words, women made up just over 32% of D.C.'s bike commuting population. But women, despite a lower inclination for biking to work, showed themselves to be the leaders in public transportation. Women make up just over 55% of those who take public transportation to work in the District, 62,775 of the 113,648 total who do so.I'd be shocked if that 32% isn't way higher for 2011. Easily 50% of the bicyclists I saw today were women. Also, if anyone tells you that people of color don't ride bikes in this town, that person is a liar or ignorant or both. Oh.
Roadie-type guy behind me on R Street. He looked like he wanted to pass, but a rather large truck carrying a rather large piece of construction equipment limited both his options and my speed, in that I didn't want to ride in the "no zone" next to a rather large truck. No amount of white paint is going to help if the driver turns right. So, eventually we pass the truck (and some lady rollerblading) and at the intersection with Connecticut, dude rolls in front of me than circles back around since we're at a red light and just sort of looks at me before planting himself a few feet in front of my front wheel. What's up with that? He turned off somewhere at Massachusetts and I didn't have the pleasure of slogging up the hill with him.
Khalil Gibran, according to the statue's lack of punctuation, is best described as a poet philosopher not a poet, philosopher.
I've got to be bolder riding up Mass. I keep putting myself in a bad place by riding too close to the curb and accordingly drivers are passing too closely. And (crazily) all of this too-close-passing seems to be perpetrated by drivers with Maryland plates (!!!). (The parentheticals indicate sarcasm because in case you don't know, Maryland drivers have a reputation for being terrible at driving) Anyway, still feeling out the new route so this will get better over time. Took about the same amount of time to get in as yesterday (actually, a little faster- by almost a minute), so that's good.

Earlier Friday, CIA Director David Petraeus announced that he is resigning from the agency due to having engaged in an extramarital affair. His resignation set off a media storm that uncovered a scandal worthy of its own soap opera.
"After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours. This afternoon, the President graciously accepted my resignation," Petraeus wrote in a letter sent to CIA employees to announce his resignation.
Since Friday, it has been revealed that Petraeus engaged in the affair with Paula Broadwell, his biographer. The scandal has also extended past their relationship to include Jill Kelley and Gen. John Allen.
The entire affair is so complicated that in order to help us keep track of all the main players, Gawker has created this genius flowchart:

My greatest alcohol-related fear is that in a drunken stupor I'll text my boss and tell him to do all manner of anatomically-impossible things to himself.
Textalyzer for iOS, like Gmail Goggles before it, offers you some protection against such social nightmares. The app allows you to blacklist contacts, requiring you to beat a series of coordination-testing games before you can reach out and verbally molest someone. This is a godsend if you're like me and constantly worry about texting embarrassing drunken messages to your mom, your ex, your co-workers or anyone else who you'd rather not see you at your worst. Which should probably be your entire address book.
Those of you who retain your fine motor skills long after you've drank all the common sense and social conditioning out of your system are still out of luck. [iTunes via Appolicious]

Lithium Starter Battery LiFePO4
The high-quality alternative with substantially higher starting power, longer life and considerably lower weight!
Lithium-ion technology offers the following advantages as compared to "standard" lead-acid batteries:
- starting current is up to 30% higher – over 40 CA (lead-acid battery: 10 CA)
- substantially longer life at over 2,000 cycles under JISD standard (the lead-acid battery only survives around 150–300 complete cycles)
- absolutely insensitive against deep discharging
- less weight, equals a reduction of over 80% depending to the model
- including distance spacers which hold the battery firmly and securely in the battery box – without any further adjustment work!
- no environmental contamination – contains no acid or heavy metals such as lead, cadmium or mercury - contains no acid, cannot leak
- quick charging with the compatible charger (see below) – up to 90% within 6 minutes
- energy saving – stable discharge voltage and low internal resistance
- extremely safe – non-explosive and non-flammable
12 Volt
All the other data as dimensions, positions of the poles and performance rating are indicated at the article. The Ah value indicated is not comparable with the data of "normal" batteries - for a two-wheeler the starting power is essential, as there is no car radio running with the engine off.
The battery has an charging state display integrated in the cover:
3 LED glowing (blue) = >13,15 Volt: battery fully loaded
2 LED glowing (yellow) = > 13,0 Volt: battery is ready, the engine can be started, but could do with a charge
1 LED glowing (red) = < 12,8 Volt: battery needs to be charged before starting the engine
Chargers to use:
Almost any high-quality motorbike charger that uses a pulse charging method and has an automatic switch-off can be used.
The keep-fresh-function of these chargers does not work with lithium batteries.
If you connect such a charger, it charges the battery once, then switches off and the users of the motorcycle using current would empty the battery although the charger is still connected.
To make a permanent connection possible, (f.e. in winter time) so the battery is always nearly fully loaded, you need special lithium chargers (f.e. CTEK).
Never use chargers that work with a charging voltage of more than 15 V (for example when working with high peak voltages for checking whether desulphation is required) - you find a note in the instruction manual of your existing charger!
Starting problems may occur at extremely low temperatures (below around −10° C) due to an increase in battery resistance.
However, the integrated management system means that this is less of an issue than with most conventional lithium batteries.
There is also a simple trick you can use: if the battery is not working well under extremely cold conditions, switch your headlights on for between 10 and 15 seconds. That warms up the battery and improves the starting power.

One need not look far to see the most dynamic change to Chase Field.
Towering high above center field is the newest, widest and most magnificent video board in Major League Baseball, a 136-feet-by-46-feet high definition LED board, made by Daktronics.
Based in Brookings, S.D., Daktronics is one of the world's leading manufacturers of electronic video boards and other large display systems. The company also worked with the Diamondbacks and the Maricopa Stadium District on installing Chase Field's now-outdated incandescent and cathode ray tube boards, the sound system which was updated in 2006, and the LED ribbon display installed prior to the 2007 season that rings the second deck of the stadium. The ribbon runs 1,119 feet and is the largest of its kind in Major League Baseball.
The LED (light-emitting diode) board is so wide that it is capable of displaying two true high-definition 16:9 images side by side. It will also provide the D-backs video crew with many display options, including using it to show one gigantic video display, or to segment into multiple windows showing a video, animation, still images, a scoreboard and more.
The board has 880 native lines of resolution and provides video in up to 4.4 trillion colors. Though it will be attached to the existing structure in the "batter's eye" in center field, the board is eight times bigger than the existing CRT video board that was used for the D-backs' first 10 years.
The project consumed Chase Field for much of the 2007-2008 offseason in order to be finished in time for the D-backs' home opener April 7 against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
With the changes in signage and appearance that occurred concurrent with the D-backs' re-branding in 2007, the new LED video board is helping to keep Chase Field among the world's most innovative and technology-driven stadiums.
It's not the first time Chase Field has been considered innovative, however.
Nestled among Jefferson Street to the north, Fourth Street to the south and Seventh Street to the east, Chase Field is the epicenter of the downtown Phoenix sports experience. When ground first broke on the building in November of 1995, it was always intended to be among baseball's most unique parks. Then-named Bank One Ballpark was the first to feature a pool, which sits just beyond the right-center field fence. The facility is also air-conditioned and features a retractable roof.
The pool sits 415 feet from home plate and has been the recipient of many home run balls. The first was hit by Mark Grace, though not during his three years as a D-backs first baseman. He hit it prior to coming to Arizona, as a member of the Chicago Cubs, on May 12, 1998.
With all of the amenities and unique facets of the facility, one can easily imagine that it took significant time to build. The project began more than two years before the D-backs ever played a game, but it took all of that time - 28 months in total - to complete the structure, at a cost of $354 million. The park was designed by Ellerbe Beckett, with Bill Johnson serving as the design principal, John Watson as project manager and the Huber Hunt & Nichols company working as the managing contractor.
The designers borrowed from the downtown Phoenix warehouse district in their concepts, using red brick and exposed green structural steel. They even borrowed a real warehouse, in fact, incorporating the former Arizona Citrus Growers' Packing House as the south façade of the building, currently used as a commissary for Chase Field's concession stands.
On Sept. 23, 2005, the stadium name was changed to Chase Field (from the previous Bank One Ballpark) after the merger between Chase and Bank One.
The ballpark was officially opened when the D-backs took on the Colorado Rockies on March 31, 1998, though it has since been used for many events other than baseball. During the 2004 elections, President George W. Bush held a rally for supporters at the stadium.
But the park is more known for its sports-related uses, of course. Arizona State University and the University of Arizona played two "Challenge at Chase" games at the park in 2006 and 2007, with the Arizona Wildcats winning both times. The stadium hosted the first-ever outdoor college basketball game, when the ASU women's team hosted Tennessee Dec. 27, 2000. The Sun Devils played at the stadium again on Dec. 18 2006, though the basketball game was cut short with just over four minutes to go because rain began to fall through the opened roof. Chase Field was also the former home of the Insight Bowl, part of college football's yearly bowl series. The final Insight Bowl played at Chase Field was won by ASU 45-40 over Rutgers.
The field has also been used to host the Professional Bull Riders Built Ford Tough Series, AMA Supercross, several international soccer matches and monster truck competition in the Monster Jam series.
One of the signature non-D-backs events that Chase Field has hosted was indeed baseball, though. Prior to the 2006 season, Major League Baseball and the International Baseball Federation used the facility to host the opening round of the first World Baseball Classic. The United States defeated Mexico, 2-0, in the first game played at Chase.
One of the main reasons Chase Field is considered such a desirable host for sporting events is, of course, its retractable roof. Made with nine million pounds of structural steel and operating with similar technology as draw bridges and overhead traveling cranes, the roof is opened and closed with a pair of 200-horsepower motors taking a little more than four minutes. It also incorporates more than four miles of cable strung through a pulley system. It opens from the middle, so the two segments of the roof can be opened or closed either in unison or independently, depending on need.
The roof opens and closes to its own music, which was composed to time out at exactly the four and a half minutes needed to move it.
On game days, the roof is left open to help grow the natural grass that is used on the playing field. The surface consists of Bull's Eye Bermuda, which is considered the most suitable grass for a retractable-roof stadium. Should sunlight prove to be insufficient, requiring more light on some days, large incandescent lights provide a substitute.
A decision is then made on a day-to-day basis of whether the roof will remain open or closed at game time. The main factor is, of course, the weather. If there is inclement weather, or the threat of inclement weather, the roof will be closed, as it will during day games in the summer when Phoenix temperatures are regularly well over 100 degrees. Because Chase Field is positioned directly north-south, the roof is rarely open during day games even in comfortable weather because of the effect that the afternoon sunlight has on fans along the first-base line.
For those hot summer games, Chase Field is air conditioned using the Northwinds cooling system, which was designed to cool down the highly populated facilities in Downtown Phoenix in 2001. The system cools the ballpark in less time than the prior air conditioning system did, which allows for the roof to remain open longer during the day time.
The air conditioning, along with the LED board and pool area, is all part of the overall Chase Field experience, along with the food and in-game entertainment, of course.
In nearly a quarter mile of concession stand area, fans can order nearly any kind of food imaginable. In addition to standard ballpark fare offered at many stands, fans can order from Peter Piper Pizza, SUBWAY®, Macayo's, Panda Express Chinese cuisine and more. One of the more unique stands is Big Dawgs, where fans can order grilled foot-long hot dogs topped with all sorts of items, such as French fries, chili and cole slaw.
Like the combination of a dirt strip to the mound and a retractable roof, the in-game entertainment is a blend of old and new. While the game operations crew plays current hits with the state-of-the-art sound system, the D-backs also incorporate organ music by Bobby Freeman, who has been with the organization since its inception.
With a hot dog in hand, singing along to "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" played on the stadium organ, and all sorts of video playing on the new high-definition board all in air-conditioned comfort, the Chase Field experience is second-to-none.

Checking in on… the MAACPosted by rtmsf on February 28th, 2010
Ray Floriani of College Chalktalk is the RTC correspondent for the MAAC and NEC conferences.
LYNDHURST, NJ – The regular schedule winds up this weekend with the postseason tournament beginning on Friday in Albany. Siena is in the driver's seat as regular season champion, top tournament seed and host of the get together in New York's capitol city. The Saints' BracketBuster setback at Butler all but insures Siena will have to cut down the nets at the Times Union Center to get to the Big Dance. Something they are in very favorable position to do.
Player of the Week: Ryan Thompson (G/F), Rider – Averaged 29.5 PPG, 4.5 rebounds and assists in two games. Scored 21 in a win at St.Peter's and followed up with a carrer-high 38 in an OT loss at Hofstra.
Rookie of the Week: Colin Nickerson (G), Fairfield – Averaged 16.5 PPG and shot 65% from the field in two games for the Stags. Set a career high of 13 against Manhattan than surpassed it with 20 points at Vermont.
Milestones and Notes
- Iona's nine conference wins is the fifth highest total since the Gaels started MAAC play in 1981-82.
- Derek Needham set the freshman scoring record at Fairfield. Needham broke the mark of 427 set by Fordham assistant Joe DeSantis in 1976.
- Frank Turner of Canisius enters the final weekend with 593 career assists leaving him just shy of being the seventh MAAC player to hand out 700 assists. Turner tied the school record with 121 games played, a mark he is set to eclipse this weekend.
- Ryan Thompson, with 1,809 career points, is fourth on Rider's all time scoring list. Older brother Jason ('08) is in third at 2.040 points.
- Speaking of Rider, juniors Mike Ringgold, Justin Robinson and Jharmar Youngblood all joined the school's 900-point club recently.
- St. Peter's' fifteen victories is the most in four years. Ten MAAC wins is the best showing since the 2004-05 campaign.
- On Senior Day at Siena this Sunday, the school will honor the most successful senior class in program history.
Team Breakdowns
- Canisius – Improved to 4-1 all time in BracketBusters with a win over James Madison. The victory gave Canisius its 13th win, the most in Tom Parrotta's four year tenure. Win also gave the Golden Griffins their first winning season at home in five years. Frank Turner had an excellent 16 point, 13 assist game in his final Koessler Athletic Center appearance. Junior forward Greg Logins added 15 points, 8 rebounds against JMU. Another junior, Tomas Vazquez-Simmons, had 4 blocks against the Dukes , giving him 199 rejections for his career.
- Fairfield – Ended the regular season with an 8-7 road record including 6-3 in MAAC play. Derek Needham and Anthony Johnson continued their fine play for the Stags. Fairfield did get an additional lift from freshman Colin Nickerson, with a good scoring week including a 20-point outing at Vermont. Stags wind up the regular season at home against Iona and Niagara.
- Iona – The 69-53 BracketBuster win over William & Mary was the Gaels' 20th of the season. It was the first 20-win season in four years and 14th in program history. Gaels finished heir non-conference slate 9-3. Scott Machado scored 17 in the William & Mary game. Junior Alejo Rodriquez added 12 points and 8 boards. Iona finishes up in control their seeding destiny . The Gaels visit Fairfield (tied for second) and St.Peter's (a game behind Fairfield and Iona).
- Loyola – Dropped a heartbreaker on Senior Day as New Hampshire hit a shot with 0.7 seconds remaining for a 61-60 decision. Senior forward Jawan Wright continued his fine play of late with his third straight double figure outing with 10 points. Junior guard Jamal Barney returned after a six game absence and scored 16 points. Greyhounds entertain Canisius and Manhattan and already know they have drawn the Jaspers in next week's MAAC tournament in Albany.
- Manhattan – Split the week losing to Fairfield and defeating Towson in the BracketBuster. Junior guard Rico Pickett averaged 17.5 PPG, 4.0 RPG over the two game stretch. Manhattan opened the Towson game with a 20-0 run in arguably their best performance of the season. Senior forward Brandon Adams had a career high 18 points. Jaspers dished out 22 assists and shot 53% from the field in that win over Towson.
- Marist – Lone game was a 66-65 to UC Irvine in the BracketBusters. Marist is 2-3 in those BracketBuster games. Trip to California was a homecoming for freshman guard Devin Price and sophomore guard Mike Taylor. Price enjoyed the trip with a career high 18 points which included four three pointers. Freshman guard Candon Rusin scored 10 points and has double digits in five straight games.
- Niagara – Won their third straight and five of the last six, defeating Wisconsin-Milwaukee 85-79. Niagara has now won four straight BracketBuster games. Anthony Nelson scored 10 straight down the stretch to pull out the win at UMW. Nelson finished with 14 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds while Tyrone Lewis buried six first half treys on the way to a 23 point performance.
- Rider – Dropped an overtime BracketBuster game at Hofstra. The game featured Charles Jenkins of Hofstra, last years' MET Player of the Year, who scored 31 points. Rider countered with MAAC POY candidate Ryan Thompson with a career high 38 points, 6 assists and 6 rebounds. Thompson has come on strong down the stretch averaging 25.4 PPG the last seven games. Broncs have won five of those last seven and finish up at home hosting Siena and Canisius their last two regular season contests.
- St. Peter's – Went 1-2 for the week but are still in a good position. Peacocks can finish as high as third and no lower than fifth depending on what happens the last two games. The lone victory was on the road where the Peacocks used a 19-4 second half run to stop the Greyhounds 69-61. In between were home losses to a surging Rider club and a BracketBuster against Buffalo. Wesley Jenkins and Nick Leon (outside) and Ryan Bacon (inside) continued their fine play for John Dunne's club.
- Siena – Dropped a BracketBuster game of note at Butler 70-53. The 53 points were Siena's lowest in a single game in over two years. Saints have lost have lost all four of their games to top 50 opponents. The contest with nationally ranked Butler was Siena's last opportunity to put themselves into at large consideration for the NCAA tournament, should they fail to win the MAAC tournament. Clarence Jackson paced Siena, who led Butler 31-28 at the half, with 24 points. Ryan Rossiter has been the most consistent Saint the last two months averaging double figures in scoring (14.3) and rebounding (10.7).

Are there any unique plants I can add to my pond?
Brad – Phoenix, AZ
Pond owners looking to flex their green thumbs this spring are already planning their aquatic plant purchases. Including plants in your water garden or decorative water feature can help add shade and filtration to the water body while painting the landscape with beautiful colors and accents.
The Ann Chowning Iris is an excellent selection for ponds that are exposed to constant sunlight. The Ann Chowning has intense red flowers with deep yellow accents. The flowers have a velvety texture and the iris produces beautiful evergreen foliage growing to a height of 36" and a width of 18-24". Blooming in the spring and into summer, the Ann Chowning iris prefers full sun but will tolerate some late hour shade. The brilliant contrasting colors make this iris a great cut flower that can be used in centerpieces and indoor decoration. For pond owners in more remote locations the Ann Chowning is a great choice as it is resistant to deer which love to frequent ponds for a quick snack and drink.
As with other aquatic plants the Ann Chowning can be planted in planting baskets with planting media and placed in and around your pond or water feature. As the Ann Chowning prefers moist, well drained soil you will want to keep this iris contained to the shallow regions and edges of your pond. Be sure to fertilize your plants with pond-safe plant fertilizer to achieve even brighter and bolder colors.

The economic and political tumult in Europe has continued this week with anti-incumbent votes in France and Greece as well as signs of disaffection in Italy, Great Britain and Germany. The electorate is angry, and the election results have raised renewed concerns about whether Europe's most debt-burdened countries will stick with their quest toward fiscal discipline.
On this side of the Atlantic, it's tempting to view the uproar in purely parochial terms — out of concern that the U.S. economy will continue to be encumbered by the eurozone crisis. Or, perhaps, as evidence that President Barack Obama will get a taste of the same anti-incumbent fervor this fall, particularly if the nation's recovery falters.
But the real lesson to be drawn from the rise of France's Francois Hollande and others is that many in Europe are fed up with austerity measures. In choosing Mr. Hollande for president over incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy, the French embraced socialism — the real deal, not the kind President Obama's opponents blithely accuse him of — over conservatives and further cuts to government spending.
While European voters have long had a greater taste for taxpayer-financed social-welfare programs — and higher expectations of cradle-to-grave services, from health care to higher education — than their U.S. counterparts, there are signs that Americans are perfectly capable of mustering a substantial anti-austerity reaction, too.
The widening gulf between the haves and have-nots, the 1 percent and the 99 percent, over the past three decades is not merely some partisan invention of President Obama, the Democrats or the Occupy Wall Street protesters but a real and worrisome trend fueled largely by the financial sector. Income inequality inevitably gives rise to economic instability — which is essentially what's happening in the European Union, where income differences are even more out of whack.
Yet Republicans seem determined to shield the wealthiest Americans from making even the slightest additional sacrifice to help address the nation's deficit. They scoff at the mere mention of the word "fairness." The current impasse over student loans reflects the GOP's intransigence on this subject: With student loan rates set to double this summer, Senate Republicans are steadfastly opposed to a Democratic proposal to cap them because it would be paid with higher payroll taxes on the wealthy and on some privately owned corporations.
Republicans prefer to support budget cuts alone as a means to bringing the federal budget into balance. Yet that approach inevitably falls most heavily on the poor and working class, with less going to education, health care, public transportation, housing, and so on. This is not only insufficient for addressing the deficit — a point made most clearly by the bipartisan commission on fiscal responsibility and reform two years ago — but a recipe for social upheaval and class warfare.
Mitt Romney has frequently suggested that the U.S. is headed toward becoming another Greece under its current Europe-loving president. But at least the Europeans have expected sacrifice from all (and expect even more from the rich in the future, it appears). Under Republican rule, the U.S. seems destined to go straight to an anti-austerity uproar.
What America needs is a balanced approach to promote growth and opportunity and not just one focused on either spending cuts or higher taxes alone. President Obama has at least shown some willingness to move in this direction (although his efforts in entitlements have been underwhelming); the GOP seems to be stuck in a more rigid, doctrinaire view.
The problem with the current political gridlock in Washington is that unless the two sides compromise, U.S. economic policy may prove rudderless no matter who occupies the White House in 2013. Already, there is talk of an impending "taxmaggedon" with the expiration of the Bush tax cuts, the end of the payroll tax cut and other benefits expiring next year, but little hope the two parties can do much to prevent (or even soften) the blow between now and then.
A government that has lost control over its own economic policies? Sounds a lot like Greece, where they have yet to form a governing majority. That may not be the U.S., at least not yet, but it's not difficult to envision such a future if Washington continues to be stuck in its polarized and paralyzed state.

Calling Our Customer Service Department
As you may have noticed, we have quite a comprehensive website. From our engines blog, which features auto repair tips, used engine buying advice and expert insight from experienced mechanics to our vast library of articles about cars and motors, there's a lot you can learn right here at GotEngines.com. But what we really want you to do is give us a call. We like to get right down to business, and we find that the best way to find out how to get you what you need is speaking directly with you. Everyone we speak to has different needs, different price ranges, and different foundations of knowledge about cars (including their own) and, of course, different cars. We want to learn two things from you in order to best serve you: first and foremost, your VIN number. This tells us exactly which car or truck you're driving so we can find the exact engine you need. A VIN number gives us even more information than the make, model and year of your car and helps us find the best parts for you. Secondly, we want to know how we can help you.
Got questions? We've got answers.
Got car troubles? We've got engines.
No matter what stage you're at in your decision making process, we are here to help. No question is too broad or too specific, and we'll do our best to give you thorough, helpful answers without patronizing you or pressuring you towards a sale or decision you're not ready to make.

Due to high demand and a large volume of calls, we've also begun taking calls on Saturday between 10AM and 3PM. Of course, if you call us just before the end of our business hours and you have burning questions or need an engine fast, we'll happily stay on the line with you while we finish up your order and answer all of your questions.
If you happen to be on the site after hours, the best way to get in touch with us is through our online Engine Quote Form.

GotEngines.com – The Markup Busters
At GotEngines.com, we know full well that we're not the only company that can find you a used engine to get your car up and running again. But we do think we're the best and most affordable. That's because finding high quality, low priced engines is all we do. It's what we do every day and it's what we do best.
Typically, you might bring your car into the shop to diagnose a problem. When your mechanic discovers that it's the engine, you've got a few options.
The easiest and most expensive option is for you to buy a brand new car. You might be able to trade in your existing car for a credit from an auto dealer, but the money you get from a "push it in, pull it in, drag it in" trade-in isn't usually a good deal— especially since the other valuable parts in your car may be in perfectly good working condition.
The next option that your mechanic might recommend is an in-house engine. If they offer a good price and are a dedicated engine shop, this might be a good option. But in our experience, we've found that only a handful of shops that do engines really have what it takes to do a quality job. Engines require in-depth knowledge, usually specific to the make and model of the engine, as well as years of experience, specialized training and expensive tools that most general
repair auto shops simply can't afford.
In most cases, they'll source it to another repair shop. And when that happens, you'll be charged a significant markup, not to mention the hassle of having to go through two parties in order to get status updates and estimates on your repair.
Alternately, your mechanic may offer to locate a used engine to put in your car. Again, there will be a big markup on the price of this part—and you may or may not have any say in where he gets the engine from and even less knowledge regarding the quality of the engine and the reputation of the auto recycler or junkyard that sourced the engine. Many mechanics have relationships with one or two auto yards where they get their parts and the do little comparison shopping on your behalf, which is understandable—they'd rather be in the garage than on the phone all day.
Either way, you're going to pay a huge sum on a brand new car or throw away money on the markup on a used engine that comes from who knows where.
At GotEngines.com, our mission is to change all of that. Like we said, we are specialists in finding quality used engines. We have hundreds of engine suppliers in our networks and we have an excellent system for quality control and accountability. In the time it takes a mechanic to call up two or three of his buddies, we can get you quotes on multiple engines from dozens of suppliers and manufacturers. Once we get you a great engine at an excellent price, we can ship it straight to your mechanic's garage by freight. It's a win-win situation—you get a better price on a better engine and the mechanic doesn't have to waste his time playing phone tag with junkyards. In fact, your mechanic might already use GotEngines.com to find engines for his repairs—many of our customers are professional engine shops and auto repair garages. But of course, you can call us directly and save even more money.
Better Engines, Better Prices
At GotEngines.com, we help customers buy used engines. We know that it can be somewhat intimidating to buy something as expensive as an engine over the phone. That's why we go to great lengths to provide you with the peace of mind you need to make a smart, informed decision. Here's how we help you purchase with confidence:
Engine History Reports
Used engines vary widely in their quality and reliability—that's a fact of life. We price our used engines according to the information we have on hand, and we always err on the side of caution. We make this process as transparent as possible by passing along as much information on a used engine as we can. Typically, this includes a vehicle history report and mileage. But if we can talk with the mechanic who recently salvaged or serviced the used engine, we'll find out everything else you want to know about it as well. Its human nature to feel uneasy when a deal sounds too good to be true—we understand that. That's why we give you all the reports, history and documentation on an engine so you can decide for yourself if it's a good deal. And remember: don't be afraid to ask questions. If you don't understand a specification or technical detail, just ask. We'll give you thorough explanations that will help put your purchase in perspective.
We also recommend factoring in the cost of installation. Get a quote from your mechanic and make sure that they have the equipment and expertise required to install a used engine. If so, we can ship it straight to the shop so they can inspect it, make sure it's up to snuff and then drop it in. If the engine doesn't live up to your expectations for any reason, send it back and we'll get you a refund.
Warranties and Guarantees
While not all of our engine dealers offer money back guarantees, we prefer to let customers know about the engines that do come with warranties. Warrantied engines can be used engines. Some warranties are better than others, and we'll let you know exactly how long your engine is covered and which components of your engine are covered.
The last thing we want is for you to be in the dark about your warranty. Before you make a purchase, we'll let you know what your warranty entitles you to, whether it's a refund or replacement for your engine or reimbursement if your engine requires servicing during the warranty period.
Our warranties can either come from the manufacturer or from the auto shop that supplies the part, if we source the part from a partner in our network. Either way, we'll make absolutely sure that you get your money back if anything goes amiss. As one of the highest rated online engine sellers, we drive a lot of business to our network auto suppliers and we purchase a lot of used engines to stock our inventory database. If our customers are unsatisfied with the engines from a particular source, then we give them an ultimatum: make it right or we drop you from our network. Luckily, it very, very rarely comes down to that. Those warranties and guarantees are offered for a good reason: we believe in the engines that we're selling, and so do the people who dedicated hours of labor into bringing them up to standards. The engines are built to last—the warranty is there for your peace of mind.

California Dreaming of a Statewide Plastic Bag Ban
City by city and county by county, millions of Californians are taking a stand against plastic bags to keep them from polluting beaches, killing marine life and burdening taxpayers.
If millions of Californians could have their dream come true, then single-use plastic bags would be banned statewide, nationwide and worldwide. To date, their dream hasn't been realized, but it's certainly not from lack of trying. In fact, one of the most recent attempts to ban the plastic bags was via Assembly Bill (AB) 298, which was a bill to ban single-use plastic bags statewide at supermarkets, retail pharmacies and convenience stores in California starting in 2014. AB 298 would have also required retailers to provide reusable bags for sale and to charge a fee for recycled paper bags—all to incentivize people to remember to use their reusable bags.
Unfortunately, AB 298 failed to pass the California State Senate. But that won't stop Californians from their bag-ban mission. In fact, in a little over the past two years, over 50 California cities or counties have voted to ban single-use plastic bags. When all of those ordinances go into effect, then nearly one-third, or approximately 38 million, of Californians will reside in plastic bag-free communities. That in itself is a win, but Californians won't stop until they accomplish the dream.
Banning the plastic bags is not just a trendy bandwagon to jump on, either. Plastic bags have serious consequences for beaches and other waters, marine life and other wildlife, and even for land-based taxpayers.
Truth be told, single-use plastic bags are one of the most common forms of waste found on beaches that make their way into the ocean, becoming part of what's called the "Great Floating Garbage Patch" or the "Pacific Gyre." (By the way, there's also one in the Atlantic Ocean—a similar story, but a different location.)
In fact, over the last 25 years, 7,825,319 plastic bags were collected from beaches around the world. Plastic bags can also clog drains and create mosquito breeding grounds during warmer months, resulting in other health consequences.
Adding to the plastic-bag nemesis is that plastic bags last nearly indefinitely— since they're not biodegradable—to continually work their damage. What's more is that of the 115 billion plastic bags used nationally each year, only a dismal five percent are recycled. (California alone uses a whopping 12 billion plastic bags a year.)
Likewise, pollution from those plastic bags directly affects 267 animal species annually, including whales, fish, birds, and turtles. Speaking of turtles . . . the Pacific Leatherback sea turtle, which consumes jellyfish, can mistake plastic bags for jellyfish. Unfortunately, one-third of adult turtles have consumed the plastic, which undoubtedly adds to the reason why the Leatherback sea turtle population has declined by 95 percent in the last 20 years.
Additionally, plastic bags make their way into wilderness areas where they can choke and kill animals. Marine life and wildlife are not the only ones who pay the cost of plastic bags, however. California taxpayers spend approximately $25 million each year to landfill used plastic bags—money which could certainly be used for better purposes.
L.A. County alone spends $24 million on litter prevention, cleanup efforts and enforcement, with plastic bags weighing in significantly on those costs. Getting rid of those plastic bags could also result in Green jobs in California, as there are currently 15 reusable bag companies based in California. One of those companies, Green Vets, could see more jobs created for disabled veterans if there would be a statewide plastic bag ban law.
The bottom line is that there is so much good that can come from getting rid of those plastic bags. Unfortunately, Californians haven't seen the plastic bag ban realized—yet. They will keep trying, however, while the rest of the nation watches expectantly.

March Of The Dreamless Lyrics
We live our lives While others die Our hands are clean but conscience cries Illuminate these shadowed lives This is the end of reason This is the fall of all I know And if this is my end then let me speak before I go No angels. No savior. Your pain will last forevermore So here we stand Knowing who we are This dream will last forever Tell them We live on the edge of meaning Between But now we've gone too far And if this is what we are then Let them know the truth There's no angels No savior No one to fight each other for So here we stand Knowing who we are Chorus We march

PRINCESS ANNE, MD. - (July 2, 2014) - Today marks the 50th anniversary of President Lyndon B. Johnson signing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law.
Arguably the most important federal law of the 20th century, it awakened the nation that all men were not being treated equally, assertions in the Declaration of Independence notwithstanding.
The civil rights movement touched every corner of America, and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore was no exception.
Maryland State College, as the institution was known when the movement blossomed, counts Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s campus visit to deliver the 1959 commencement speech among its most celebrated moments.
Alumni who graduated that spring recall hearing an inspirational message delivered to a packed house; many guests were unable to get a seat in the old Kiah gymnasium to hear King speak in person.
A year later, Maryland State hired Mary Fair Burks, a friend of King's and a respected civil rights pioneer in her own right. Burks was a co-founder of the Women's Political Council of Montgomery, Ala., a grass-roots group that organized bus boycotts during the mid-1950s that accidentally made Rosa Parks a civil rights icon.
Burks' high profile as an activist in Alabama's state capital eventually forced her to resign in the spring of 1960 as a professor at Alabama State College. That fall, she joined the faculty of Maryland State, where she taught English until retiring in 1986.
Young people with Maryland State ties were among the participants in the August 1963 March on Washington who heard King deliver his "I have a dream" speech. In the crowd of nearly 250,000 that day were Schelley Kiah, the 15-year-old daughter of a Maryland State professor and granddaughter of the college's fifth president, and David Johnson, a (current) member of UMES' faculty.
Maryland State students during the turbulent '60s were keenly aware of social unrest roiling the country, and some even had a hand in bringing about change.
Curtis Gentry, who went on to play professional football, Addison Cash, Warren Morgan and John Wilson organized sit-ins and protests in Princess Anne to draw attention to loopholes in the state's public accommodations law. Their activism in February 1964 attracted the attention of Gov. J. Millard Tawes and state lawmakers, who took steps to eliminate state-sanctioned segregation policy that governed the conduct of commerce.
Wilson, a strident protest organizer, left college before graduating to join national civil rights activists who took aim at discriminatory practices and voters' rights as core issues.
Wilson eventually found his way to Washington, where he transformed into a politician who led the nation's capital to embrace home rule. He served on Washington's City Council and posthumously was honored by colleagues who named the municipal government office building after him.
Among the men Wilson met during his years as a civil rights protester was John R. Lewis, who also gravitated into elected politics.
Lewis, an admirer of King, was elected in 1986 to the House of Representatives from Georgia and is known today as "the conscience of the U.S. Congress."
He gave the spring 2014 graduation-day address at UMES joining King, his mentor and friend, in a select group of commencement speakers who also were civil rights leaders, including Thurgood Marshall and Jackie Robinson. Lewis' message on May: "Be bold. Be courageous."

It seems that every time I interact with the media, I hear about the demise of the newspaper industry. Readership is down, advertising is flat, the sky is falling.
To be sure, daily newspapers face an uncertain future. However, community newspapers are alive and kicking.
Thousands of weekly community newspapers are going strong in the current economy and most are thriving.
For the past four years, the University of Missouri School of Journalism has been conducting a study of community newspaper markets. Some of the findings:
• 81 percent of adults surveyed read a local newspaper each week.
• 40 percent keep the newspaper all week.
• 73 percent read practically the whole issue.
• Of those who read the news online, 63 percent go to a website provided by a local newspaper.
We are doing well at the San Juan Record. In fact, readership has never been larger.
We combine the 6,000 weekly readers of our print edition with an equivalent number of weekly hits on our website, at sjrnews.com. In addition, hundreds of friends on Facebook receive breaking news updates.
The San Juan Record office is a beehive of activity.
Over the past three years, we have completed a remodel of the San Juan Record office and a restructure of the entire business, including a new website, a new layout and design (complete with full color on every page), a successful 10K race, a thriving bookstore, a popular calendar, a new travel business and growing social media efforts.
These changes have been the result of the hard work of the entire SJR crew. This place is hopping and we are in need of some help.
Office manager Melissa Shakespeare is leaving for a job with San Juan County, while sales manger Scott Burton is leaving for a job with the San Juan School District.
Scott and Melissa have been valued employees of the San Juan Record for more than three years. While losing two employees doubles our headaches in the short run, it also gives us a chance to restructure our work flow to meet the skill sets of our employees. As a result, we are seeking resumes from people with a wide variety of skills.
If you have an interest in writing, sales, bookkeeping, customer relations, inventory mangement or information management, call us at 435-587-2277, send a resume to PO Box 879, Monticello, UT 84535 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

SEC503: Intrusion Detection In-Depth
Mon, August 19 - Sat, August 24, 2013
- Contents | Additional Info
- Instructor: Mike Poor
- 36 CPEs
- Laptop Required
This course provides a good basis of knowledge and presents important tools which will be at the core of any intrusion analysis.
Excellent Instruction!
If you have an inkling of awareness of security (even my elderly aunt knows about the perils of the Interweb!), you often hear the disconcerting news about another high-profile company getting compromised. The security landscape is continually changing from what was once only perimeter protection to a current exposure of always-connected and often-vulnerable. Along with this is a great demand for security savvy employees who can help to detect and prevent intrusions. That is our goal in the Intrusion Detection In-Depth course - to acquaint you with the core knowledge, tools, and techniques to prepare you to defend your networks.
This track spans a wide variety of topics from foundational material such as TCP/IP to detecting an intrusion, building in breadth and depth along the way. It's kind of like the "soup to nuts" or bits to bytes to packets to flow of traffic analysis.
Hands-on exercises supplement the course book material, allowing you to transfer the knowledge in your head to your keyboard using the Packetrix VMware distribution created by industry practitioner and SANS instructor Mike Poor. As the Packetrix name implies, the distribution contains many of the tricks of the trade to perform packet and traffic analysis. All exercises have two different approaches. A more basic one that assists you by giving hints for answering the questions. Students who feel that they would like more guidance can use this approach. The second approach provides no hints, permitting a student who may already know the material or who has quickly mastered new material a more challenging experience. Additionally, there is an "extra credit" stumper question for each exercise intended to challenge the most advanced student.
By week's end, your head should be overflowing with newly gained knowledge and skills; and your luggage should be swollen with course book material that didn't quite get absorbed into your brain during this intense week of learning. This track will enable you to "hit the ground running" once returning to a live environment.
This is a fast-paced track, and students are expected to have a basic working knowledge of TCP/IP (see www.sans.org/conference/tcpip_quiz.php ) in order to fully understand the topics that will be discussed. Although others may benefit from this course, it is most appropriate for students who are or who will become intrusion detection/prevention analysts. Students generally range from novices with some TCP/IP background all the way to seasoned analysts. The challenging hands-on exercises are specially designed to be valuable for all experience levels. The Packetrix VMware used in class is a Linux distribution so we strongly recommend that you spend some time before attending becoming familiar with a Linux environment that uses the command line for entry.

Day 2 continues where Day1 ended in understanding TCP/IP. Two essential tools - Wireshark and tcpdump are explored to give you the skills to analyze your own traffic. The focus of these tools on Day 2 is filtering traffic of interest in Wireshark using display filters and in tcpdump using Berkeley Packet Filters. We proceed with our exploration of the TCP/IP layers covering TCP, UDP, and ICMP. Once again, we describe the layers and analyze traffic not just in theory and function, but from the perspective of an attacker and defender.
All traffic is discussed and displayed using the two open source tools Wireshark and tcpdump. Students can follow along with the instructor viewing the sample traffic capture files supplied. Four hands-on exercises, one after each major topic, offer you the opportunity to reinforce what you just learned.

SEC503.3: Application Protocols and Traffic Analysis
Mike Poor
Wed Aug 21st, 2013
Day 3 culminates the examination of TCP/IP with an exploration of the application protocol layer. The concentration is on some of the most widely used, and sometimes vulnerable, crucial application protocols - HTTP, SMTP, DNS, and Microsoft communications. Our focus is on traffic analysis, a key skill in intrusion detection.
We'll take a brief foray into packet crafting and nmap remote OS identification so that you can analyze and recognize telltale signs of each. Packet crafting is a handy skill for an analyst to possess, especially for testing IDS/IPS rules. IDS/IPS evasions are the bane of the analyst so the theory and possible implications of evasions at different protocol layers are examined. The day concludes with examination and analysis of some real world traffic captures.
Once again, we describe the applications not just in theory and function, but from the perspective of an attacker and defender. All traffic is discussed and displayed using the two open source tools Wireshark and tcpdump. Students can follow along with the instructor viewing the sample traffic capture files supplied. Four hands-on exercises, one after each major topic, offer you the opportunity to reinforce what you just learned.

SEC503.5: Network Traffic Forensics and Monitoring
Mike Poor
Fri Aug 23rd, 2013
On the penultimate day, you'll become familiar with other tools in the "analyst toolkit" to enhance your analysis skills and give you alternative perspectives of traffic. The open source network flow tool SiLK is introduced. It offers the capability to summarize network flows to assist in anomaly detection and retrospective analysis, especially at sites where the volume is so prohibitively large that full packet captures cannot be retained for very long, if at all. The topic of network forensics is examined to show you how to investigate an incident using multiple approaches including log analysis. Finally, you can see how your forensic data can be correlated and analyzed by open source tools, with a concentration on the OSSEC that acts as a host-based IDS and Security Information and Event Manager (SIEM).
Four hands-on exercises, one after each major topic, offer you the opportunity to reinforce what you just learned.
Note: This course is available to Security 503 participants only.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
Analyst toolkit
- ngrep, tcpflow, p0f, Chaosreader, tcpreplay, NetWitness
- Introduction of concept of network flow

SEC503.6: IDS Challenge
Mike Poor
Sat Aug 24th, 2013
The week culminates with a fun hands-on Challenge where you find and analyze traffic to a vulnerable honeynet host using many of the same tools you mastered during the week. Students can work alone or in groups with or without workbook guidance. This is a great way to end the week since it reinforces what you've learned by challenging you to think analytically, gives you a sense of accomplishment, and strengthens your confidence to employ what you've learned in the Intrusion Detection In-Depth track in a real world environment.
Note: This course is available to Security 503 participants only.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6

Author Statement
When I was invited to be a member of a computer incident response team in the late 1990's (just after Al Gore invented the Internet), there was no formal cybersecurity training available. Consequently, I learned on the job and made my share, and then some, of mistakes. I was so naive that I tried to report an attack on our network by a host with an IP address in the 192.168 reserved private network, available for use by anyone. Needless to say, I got a very embarrassing enlightenment when someone clued me in.
With the benefit of experience and the passage of time, there are many lessons to be shared with you. This knowledge affords you the opportunity to learn and practice in the classroom to prepare you for the fast-paced always-interesting job of intrusion detection analysts.
