On November 13, a new shipment of USAID's emergency relief supplies arrived in Manila to be transported by the U.S. military to storm-affected communities. On board were emergency shelter materials (plastic sheeting) and hygiene kits to help 10,000 families.
This represents the third USAID shipment of emergency relief supplies to the Philippines. (A similar shipment of emergency supplies arrived in Manila on November 12. Also, an airlift of emergency food aid and arrived in Cebu on November 13. Both were transported to Tacloban and affected areas.)

Posted on 12/03/2012 1:43:39 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks
A man who was driving naked has been arrested following a bizarre crash on a stretch of Interstate 49 in Shreveport, Louisiana about 1 p.m. Sunday.
Shreveport police officers responded to a two-vehicle crash on Interstate 49 in which a vehicle flipped numerous times after plowing into the back of two unsuspecting motorists.
Witnesses reported that a man driving a grey Mitsubishi sedan had been observed traveling northbound on I-49 at excessive speeds, when he slammed into the rear end of a Cadillac sedan occupied by Warren and Linda Windham of Shreveport. The force of the collision was such that Mitsubishi flipped multiple times landing on its side.
It was learned that the driver of the Mitsubishi, Weston Ericson, 37, of Diamond Head, Mississippi crawled from his disabled vehicle at which time he began to physically assault Mrs. Windham. Ericson, who was completely void of any clothing, was ultimately restrained by passing motorists who witnessed the attack and subdued him until officers arrived. Mrs. Windham received only minor injuries.
Ericson, who sustained a possible broken arm in the crash was subsequently transported to LSUHSC and ultimately charged with DWI first offense. Mr. Warren complained of neck and back pain and was transported to an area hospital.
The investigation into the crash is ongoing at this hour.
Beware, beware, beware of the NAKED MAN! (old song)
That sounds like another Bath Salts drug case. Naked and attacked the woman when he got out of his car.
ZOMBIE ALERT! I don't know who the zombie ping person is, if one of you knows, send him a ping.
Mayhem Guy????
"...in which a vehicle flipped numerous times after plowing into the back of two unsuspecting motorists."
Dontcha just HATE IT when a naked driver plows "into the back of two unsuspecting motorists."
Getting rear-ended HURTS. (Or so I've been told.)
Yep, sounds like it could be a zombie alert to me!
"They call him the streak" ping.
It was Sheldon test driving Howard's new car is all...
Maybe we will hear more about this - like, was he trying to get to the woman's face to eat it off, like the other Bath Salts naked cases did.
If a bra-less woman can trigger an accident, imagine the mayhem a naked man can cause!
Not likely; Sheldon drives really slow, just ask Penny.
I'm afraid to ask where he's carrying the cash.
Was that photoshopped? Maybe "armed" was changed to "naked" (same number of letters).
Based on vast research consisting of watching Cops!, the people that are nude are the last people that should be nekid!
I really don't know if it was "shopped.
Moosejaw is in Saskatchewan, Canada, IIRC....so I doubt if the driver is *armed* as we understand the term.
I just googled Moosejaw.com: http://www.moosejaw.com/moosejaw/shop/home____?ad_id=Google&cm_mmc=PPC-_-Google-_-Moosejaw_Moosejaw+Com-_-moosejaw.com_Exact_19633551763&cm_guid=1-_-100000000000000183946-_-19633551763&gclid=CKi02oq0_7MCFQ-e4AodDBwA0Q

Here's why the Cowboys will fall to 1-4
01:10 AM CDT on Sunday, October 17, 2010
Column by JEAN-JACQUES TAYLOR / The Dallas Morning News | [email protected]
IRVING – Well, it doesn't really get more desperate than this for your Cowboys.
Somehow, a quarter of the way into the season, the Cowboys already have found themselves playing what's virtually a playoff elimination game against Minnesota.
The Cowboys have no one to blame but themselves.
These Cowboys play sloppy, mistake-filled games that give the football gods no alternative other than to treat them like heathens.
Now, they must travel to Minnesota, the site of last year's playoff debacle. The Vikings won, 34-3, for those of you lucky enough to have shoved the memory of that embarrassing performance deep into your subconscious.
There is no logical reason to think Dallas will return home with something other than their fourth loss in five games.
Fans and other assorted pom pom wavers are entitled to disagree. They're supposed to cling to hope. Their devotion demands they have faith.
Reality, however, says the Cowboys won't force enough turnovers – they have zero in their three losses – to slow down an offense that features Randy Moss , Percy Harvin, Adrian Peterson and Brett Favre.

After months of political wrangling and desperate calls from city and state officials to release much-needed federal aid, Congress passed a $50.5 billion Hurricane Sandy aid package on Monday, a bill that was signed by President Obama.
It took Congress three months to pass the emergency measure, with lawmakers from New York, including Sen. Charles Schumer and Rep. Peter King, calling on Congress to approve funding for devastated cities like Long Beach.
In early January, Obama signed a $9.7 billion bill to replenish the National Flood Insurance Program, which has received more than 100,000 flood insurance claims from businesses and homeowners.
Before the vote on Monday, Schumer led a rally in front of the Island Park Laundromat — one of many area businesses that was damaged during the storm and is in need of federal assistance — calling for the bill's passage. Schumer, who was joined by storm victims and local officials, including Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano and former Sen. Alfonse D'Amato, said that the funding would help homeowners, small businesses and local municipalities rebuild.
"We are very, very happy that the bill passed," Long Beach City Manager Jack Schnirman said at Tuesday's West End Neighbors Association meeting. "We will have some money flowing to help our recovery — money not only for the city to rebuild our facilities, our beach, our boardwalk, repair our bayfront and fix our water and sewer plants … and all those parks and facilities throughout the city that took a huge hit. But secondly, we want to see that money go directly to homeowners, to elevate homes and do all the things we all need to do to get back in our homes."
In December, the city received a $24 million Public Assistance Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to reimburse it for the cost of debris removal.
The storm caused approximately $200 million in damage in Long Beach, Schnirman said, explaining that the city is fighting to receive the maximum reimbursement and citing its need for help with storm-mitigation efforts. City officials did not say when they expect to receive the funding, but they expect it to cover most, if not all, of the costs associated with the storm.

I have a serious addiction to porn, porn shops, adult toys, anything to do with sex including sex! Im a normal guy who just has a wild, kinky and freaky sexual side. Anytime I am travling alone and see a adult bookstore, porn shop, etc, I ALWAYS stop. It really is an addiction but, it's an addiction I SO love. Anyhow, I was working out of town a couple years ago and I ran across one of these adult bookstores. This was one of the bookstores that had a small theatre to watch porn in and it also had video booths. Of course with my addiction I had to check out the video booths, I LOVE porn and at this place I could take some dollar bills, go in a private booth and watch all kinds of porn, how great is that!
It was hot humid late saturday morning when I pulled up to a white building with no windows a green door and just a bright yellow sign that said dvd's $4.95. There was only one car parked in the front so I drove around to the back where the parking lot was pretty full. I found a spot, parked and started walking up to the back entrance door. I walk in, say hi to the guy at the counter and I start browsing at the dvd's. What I noticed after a few minutes that, there were at least 15 or more cars in the parking lot yet I was the only one walking around in the store. I then seen a guy come in and walk down a hallway and I wondered where the hell he just went? So it did'nt look like I was following him I waited a couple minutes then headed that way myself. I entered a long dark hallway which was video booths side by side and I thought to myself, "cool, I can watch some porn, I don't have to buy any". I walk up to a door and try to open it but it locked and then I noticed above the door a round red light that said occupied. I look on down the hallway at the other door and see a green light that said open, so I walked towards that door. You could hear all kinds of porn coming from the booths and of course I was getting turned on. I walk into the open booth which was very dark, there was no light except for a dim light coming from the tv screen. I go in, shut and lock the door behind me, I sit down in the little plastic school style chair, pull some ones out of my pocket and feed the machine, the tv lit up with porn and the sound kicked on, and some buttons lit up for changing the channels and controling the volume. I flipped through a few channels til I came across a porn I liked, which was a hot ass brazilian hung she-male getting her cock sucked by a hung young guy. (I told you I had a wild, kinky and freaky sexual side…lol) I sat there watching it and started rubbing on my cock through my shorts when, out of the corner of my eye I see movement! I look over to my right and see fingers pop through a hole in the wall. "HOLY SHIT, a GloryHole!" I look over the left wall and there was another gloryhole. I had seen em in porn and that was it. The holes. were about the size of a dvd. Sitting there looking at the hole, again, fingers pop through. I was clueless so I put my fingers through the hole, I did'nt know this was the signal. The signal for what you ask? It was the signal that I now wanted that man to put his cock through that gloryhole.
Im sitting here in this little dark booth, watching she-male porn, my cock hard from the porn and rubbing on it and now I have a thick white semi hard cock poking through the gloryhole in the wall waiting on me to do something to it. I won't lie, I did'nt sit and think about it too long, I just reached out and grabbed the cock and slowly started stroking it. I've never done the gloryhole thing, I may not know the signal but, I was'nt stupid, I know what the guy wanted! Im not gay, don't even consider myself bi at all but, I am a freak, I love sex, loving recieving pleasure but love giving pleasure even more believe it or not so, what the fuck, i'll get this cock off. I was stroking him slow and his dick got harder and harder. It was a thick about 5 or 6 inch cock, fat head and thick veined. As he grew harder, I noticed my own cock throbbing harder then normal. Yep, I was highly turned on from holding this man's cock in my hand and feeling it grow as I stroked on it. Fuck it, noone is gonna know, I thought to myself, I got out of the chair, went to my knees and took this thick throbbing piece of white meat into my mouth and started sucking it! I heard a deep voice " Oh Yeah, Suck That Dick" Suck it, I did and, I was fucking loving it! I was so turned on feeling this thick veined cock in my mouth and got VERY turned on when he started thrusting it and I could hear him letting out some moans. The thrusts started getting faster so I sucked him harder, taking his cock all the way into my throat. He was now fucking my face and I felt his cock start pulsating fast and I knew he was about to cum so I sucked faster and harder going with each thrust and I knew I should'nt have but, I let it happen…. He let out a loud grunt and his dick exploded in my mouth and I just kept working it, taking a mouth full of cum and I LOVED IT! I was about to cum myself, my dick was throbbing and pulsating hard as he kept pumping his hot thick cream into my mouth. It started running out, down my chin, all down my chest… once again I thought to myself and again I thought "fuck it, I started swallowing that hot jizz… My own cock exploded, I did'nt even have to touch my dick, I was that turned on. I sucked that man's cock, sucking out every last drop and I still kept sucking him til he pulled his going limp cock away. I sat there on my knees, a load of cum down my throat, my underwear covered in my own jizz and my cock still throbbing hard, still turned on from just getting off that thick meat. I yanked my shorts down and started stroking my own cock hard and fast, thinking about what I had just done and, SPLASH, all over the wall I blew another load!
Back sitting in the chair, trying to catch my breath and gather myself, I looked down at my shirt which is covered with that mans cum, sticking to me, my underwear stuck to my cock and balls from my load and watching my second load dripping down the wall. FUCK, that was awsome, I wanted more! Though I wanted more, I decided to sneak out of there and try to make it back to my car without anyone seeing the mess all over my shirt. I make it out to my car unnoticed (I think) my cock still throbbing from what I just done and then I simply just leave already in my mind planning my next visit back 😮

TorrentFreak broke an unsurprising, but amazing, story this week in uncovering that Stroz Friedberg, the supposedly "independent and impartial tech expert" that was brought on to assist the Center for Copyright Information (CCI) in making sure that the new "six strikes" program BitTorrent monitoring is accurate, used to lobby for the RIAA. Apparently this bit of news took folks at CCI completely by surprise, since the RIAA failed to mention that tidbit of info. Now, CCI is apparently scrambling to make things right -- either by finding someone new, or by "opening up" the review that Stroz Friedberg does for the public to review. Either way, it's pretty incredible that the RIAA thought that no one would notice that the "impartial and independent" expert just happened to be a biased party that lobbied directly for them in the past.

Dear Attorney General:
Verizon and Comcast are competitors in the provision of internet service in my area. They have agreed among themselves (along with other ISPs) to change their terms of service to include a $35 charge for consumers.
Yours Sincerely,

Re: Re: Re: Re:

Yes, collusion is one name for that activity.
But it's a direct agreement among competitors on $35.
That $35 raises the ultimate price and terms of sale for internet service purchased from those competitors.
Naked, horizontal price fixing.
That Anonymous Coward (profile), 28 Oct 2012 @ 2:59am
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:I do not think you understand the $35 portion.
The $35 is a payment required should you not accept that the CSA notice is accurate. To make sure the system isn't abused (HA!) you have to pay a fee to challenge the notice, by picking an response from a limited list (not based in reality), then the arbitrator decides CCI is perfect and you move on.
The costs for the notice system are being paid, supposedly, 50/50 by CCI and the ISPs... which means we will all see price hikes to make up those losses.
Anonymous Coward, 28 Oct 2012 @ 4:29am
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:

The internet service providers have agreed that consumers will be required to pay the $35 fee to maintain their internet service accounts in good standing.
If the consumer's internet service account falls out of good standing, the internet service providers will �throttle� or otherwise reduce the provision of internet bandwidth to the consumer.
Catalano v Target Sales (1980) is a case which answers the question whether an agreement among competitors fixing credit terms is unlawful on its face.
The fact that the $35 will be charged for accused file-sharing which does not amount to copyright infringement (such as for public domain works first published after 1923�like NASA images) definitely takes the agreement away from Broadcast Music. Neither the RIAA nor anyone else has the right to enforce copyright on U.S. government works.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:Consumers will have to pay $35 to CCI to challenge the notice, via the arbitrator hired by CCI.
They want to make them feel like the DMCA process, where you can file a counter notice.
CCI claims their tech is perfect, their lobbyist agrees, and they claim they will only be monitoring popular content owned by the **AA's.
This isn't use bittorrent and get notices, this is supposedly use bittorrent to download a copyrighted movie, music, or tv show and get the notice.
The system is flawed at its core, but we need to keep focused on what it claims vs what we fear it will be.
There is a segment of people terrified that ISPs will be using Deep Packet Inspection to make this work, watching where people surf and sending notices. That is not what the system is, but in the absence of CCI being forthcoming people have filled in the blanks with the worst case scenario.
Anonymous Coward, 27 Oct 2012 @ 6:15amTry telling them that "$3.6 BILLION was spent lobbying their politicians last year", and... "Lobbying is only a part of the corruption", "you have the revolving door and campaign contributions too."
Tell them that, while the ""media"" ignores/hides it and pretends it's irrelevant or doesn't exist.
40% of Americans still believe Saddam Hussein did 911...
The "normals" are completely brainwashed.
This is truly about a corrupt political system. That reality is what we need to expose the "normals" to.

Re: Re: Re:No no CCI promised that disconnection is off the table, but they still expect ISPs to throttle connections and interfere with your use of the internet until you take an education program.
Plus they can get 6 strikes against someone and then sue them in real courts with their corporate court evidence and scare consumers into accepting their control.
They do not face real competition in as many markets as one might imagine.
So consumers still have to pay full price for a service that will be degraded or manipulated as CCI see's fit.

Re: Re: Re: Re:Your assessment is about right. Throttling will take place for repeat offenders. The most impactful aspect though will be how six strikes feeds into lawsuits. I can envision the courts considering strikes in deciding whether to order ISP's to turn over the names of accused infringers. Any record of strikes, appeals and "education" courses will probably be persuasive to a judge. I think this program will not only have a significant impact on users but will serve as a vehicle for plaintiff attorneys. The porn plaintiffs are probably counting the money already.

Re: Re: Re: Re:When I open uTorrent for some legal downloading (for example, my Humble Bundle books or a work project), Comcast slows down my internet to the point that I can't download email to my email client, my security system can't update its virus database, & I can't use a browser. It started as a slight but noticeable slow down last year, but recently it's ramped up to throttling to a stand-still, though oddly enough the downloads themselves are still quick and I seem to be able to seed without a problem. I could almost understand this action on Comcast's part if the downloading itself was affected, but it's only everything else internet-related!
I've been told not to bother calling Comcast to complain because 1) they won't stop & 2) they'll single me out for further harassment as an evil uTorrent-user. I'd switch to another ISP, but Comcast is a monopoly here. Is there a third party can I complain to? Should I call Comcast and complain even though I know it won't change a thing, just so a voice is heard? I pay a lot for Comcast "services", and their prices just go up and up.
These days I download and seed in the middle of the night while I'm not using the computer, then reboot when I need to use the internet, but that's proven inconvenient when I need to get something work-related downloaded.
I've never worried about getting a VPN because my downloading is legal, but if it'll stop this harassment on Comcast's part, I'm getting one. And then maybe I'd start downloading things that are perhaps not quite so legal to download, just like everyone else.
If Comcast is going to charge $35 per complaint, a VPN could work out to quite a money-saver!

The Cartels get the ISPs to keep track of the notices, and when people get 6 those will be included with they sue subscribers and use those notices to help create the illusion that they have to be the infringer because there is history.

Re: Re:

That may depend on Whitehouse politics. Remember the story of the �Madison Oil� case?
�The Story of United States v. Socony-Vacuum: Hot Oil and Antitrust in the Two New Deals�
The 27 oil companies and 56 of their employees were shocked to be criminally indicted in Madison, Wisconsin for violating Section 1 of the Sherman Act. After all, the misconduct alleged was participating in a petroleum stabilization program that had originated in the highest echelons of the very federal government that was now bringing the indictment.�.�.�.
�.�.�. The very government that prompted the cartel was now calling it a criminal conspiracy. When the jury returned a verdict against the defendant oil companies and executives, the defendants were stunned. An editorial in the New York Times summed up popular sentiment: �For proceeding to stabilize price conditions in the demoralized crude-petroleum fields under the powerful pressure of one branch of the Roosevelt Administration, thirty oil-company managers now stand as convicted criminals, a result of a prosecution by another branch.�
Supposably, Joe Biden is one of the chief pushers and movers behind this deal. But how dirty did he get his hands, really? The stuff I've seen for sure has been Victoria Espinel.

Standard Oil Company Of New York.
Following the break-up of Standard Oil in 1911, the Standard Oil Company of New York, or Socony, was founded.
In 1931, Socony merged with Vacuum Oil to form Socony-Vacuum.
In 1955, Socony-Vacuum was renamed Socony Mobil Oil Company. In 1963, it changed its trade name from "Mobilgas" to simply "Mobil."

Re:Reportedly they did not have much choice. The story is that Obama administration called in the big ISP's and gave them a choice. Either negotiate a "voluntary" program or have one legislated or set by the FCC. This was before the SOPA/PIPA defeat and up until then the copyright industry was getting everything they asked of Congress.
SOPA gave the ISP's an excuse for the delays with a hope of delaying it forever. Now Washington believes that the public has forgotten about SOPA. The ISP's are afraid they may be right. However, any controversy like this one might be enough excuse to allow some further delays or major modification to the program.

I don't buy that the ISPs are victims. Comcast got exactly what it wanted and it got it when it wanted it, i.e. right after the purchase of a major content provider.

You should also mention...In the source article that TorrentFreak cited (Daily Dot), they mention that Jill Lesser, the executive director of the program is planning to go ahead despite the controversy:
Lesser, who has twice before granted interviews to the Daily Dot to clarify how the CAS works, denied a request to speak about Stroz Friedberg�s involvement. Instead, she issued a statement defending the decision to hire that firm:
"We are confident in the Stroz team's skill, competency and ability to honestly and fairly review the content community�s methodologies [...] The prior, and completely separate, relationship between Stroz Friedberg and RIAA is irrelevant to our choice and our work.�
She added that the CAS would continue to retain Stroz for consulting.
In other words, it's sticking with Stroz regardless of past history.

and the key problem is...the key problem is not if there's bias in the independent tech expert or not, the problem is the whole six strikes thing and how in hell is that possible that consumers allow this.
So an industry group makes a deal with the ips in order to snoop in your communication data, and if they find that the data that is going thru your computer is presumably illegal copyrighted material, then issue one strike warning, etc.
As a customer I would not accept such a service, and would demand my isp to stay away from such practice. Still I find it incredible, that any 3rd party industry group can interfere so much with my right to private communications, regardless on how they implement their snooping.
that's the key problem, allowing the six strikes regime.

Lesser can't, or won't, do anything about this. She can't.
The details of what Stroz did are bound by an NDA that can only be opened if everyone who is a part of the cabal signs off. RIAA is a sitting board member.
The board appointed to watch out for the rights of citizens, apparently is paying less attention to the group they are supposed to be overseeing than random guy online.
Oh we hope we can make sure to protect peoples privacy... but we will turn a blind eye to obvious conflicts of interest.
CCI talks a fun game about the DMCA requiring ISPs to disconnect repeat infringers, but then back pedaled from that requirement in the memorandum of understanding. Maybe because disconnections in the US on mere accusation wouldn't sit well in the public perception, or maybe because the notices they are submitting are NOT DMCA notices and don't even have the laughable perjury threats for filing a bad notice. They are using Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policies to create "laws" holding the subscriber responsible for actions happening on their connection... even Federal Courts have ruled that isn't true... but CCI is better than the Federal Courts, its Corporate Law.
Maybe Ms. Lesser would like to get off her ivory tower and look at my research into Dtecnet. They ran honey pots for AFACT in the case against iiNET, at the request of the MPAA via AFACT they CREATED THE FILESHARING THEY SOUGHT TO PUNISH. You know who does that in the US, Porn Copyright Trolls.

The first option that�s being considered is to make Stroz Friedberg�s review of the BitTorrent tracking technology public. This would allow the world to see whether it was done properly, as opposed to taking CCI�s word that everything is in order.
A second option that has been discussed is to hire another independent expert, possibly an academic, to confirm that Stroz Friedberg did a proper review.
Initially some forces at the CCI pushed to deliver a quick response to alleviate the concerns about the impartiality of the review, but things appear to be moving slowly. TorrentFreak is informed that it might take a week or two before the group makes an announcement.'

I love that they want to examine how Stroz did the review of the tech, but not the tech itself.
Think about that for a minute, that is like making sure that an RIAA funded "study" used acceptable standards in writing the report but not if they were picking and choosing things out of context to push a certain goal.
Why yes the algebraic formula employed was real algebra, but we weren't allowed to look at the source data to see if they were correctly chosen.

Hi all.
I have done much research on this and am still stumped.
I have a ASP.NET 2.0 application, running on Windows 2003 Server. IIS 6.0
I am using Windows authentication , and I am not using impersonization, and I set my trust levvel to full.
View Complete Post
Migrated from Windows 2000 ASP.NET 1.1 to Windows 2003, ASP.NET 2.0 and had this error. All the forums/MSDN/Blogs says to give Read/Write Access to C:\Windows\Temp folder. Why should we give Full Access to some folder in Production server?? In windows 2000, ASP.NET 2.0 development machine, no files are created when we run crystal reports from aspx pages. Then why in Windows 2003 servers, we need to give rights to temp folder?? It is a simple code
And the code is not storing anything on the disk. Then why should it store the GUID.rpt file in Temp file in Windows 2003 server?? Any alternative is there not to store anything on the disk when Crystal Reports are opened in aspx page??
Our search is not working. The crawl log indicates following error: "Access is denied. Check that the Default Content Access Account has access to this content, or add a crawl rule to crawl this content. (The item was deleted because it was either not found or the crawler was denied access to it.)".
If I check the event viewer, it indicates following error: "Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE'. [CLIENT: <local machine>]"
My default content access account is another one than this NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE account. The content access account password is correct. Apparently this content access account is translated to the NETWORK SERVICE account upon a crawl. And this network service account doesn't has the appropriate rights on database level. How can I fix this?

Wisely, Doherty played in just about everything he could in the run up to the Shanghai Masters and, nicely match fit, he eased through the wildcard round today with a 5-0 defeat of Adiyta Mehta.
The Dubliner began the new campaign 44th in the world rankings and a precarious 56th on the provisional list.
He won only two matches last season and just two frames in his four matches at Prestatyn.
For a player so used to the big arenas, Pontin's was a come down but it looks like he's over that now and that could spell trouble for some of the game's top players.
Neil Robertson would not have chosen the ever tenacious Doherty as his first round opponent in Shanghai.
In short, Doherty has fallen about as far as he is going to – for now at least – and could be worth backing to turn a few of his younger rivals over in the season to come.

Hey Dave,
Like Stuart says, there is still room for improvement at Eurosport's coverage on Snooker.
I noticed Ken won the 2nd WSA tournament which this time was 6 reds. How appropriate, considering it's Ken's business which is launching the 6red World Championship.
Also, do these tournaments pay the same winners cheque of £5,000. Or is it different to each tournament?
Thanks, Joe

I noticed too that the picture was better yesterday during the interval of the Liang match when they showed the Bond match. I watched on Eurosport HD (which obviously isn't in HD) but the picture quality between the two matches was very noticable and much better on table 2.

he also didn't play much of the 1st month. ridiculous numbers.
in April before Trout came up the Los Angeles Angels were 6-14. the Angels are now 64-60, which means they have been 58-46 with Trout.

last year I remember a thread with heated debate, mostly over Jose Bautista. injuries have hurt him this season, but if he didn't win it last year I don't think he had much of a chance this year.

The white grub, Plectris aliena, was first documented near Charleston in the 1930s and has caused few problems in South Carolina, but in a small area in North Carolina, it has caused severe damage to sweet potatoes and keeping it confined to that area has been an ongoing challenge for the past few years.
Sweet potatoes have become a superstar among health-conscious Americans and for good reason. Consumption of sweet potatoes has been linked to reduced heart disease, and to contributing to improved immunity to a number of other disease causing pathogens.
And, its nutritional value ranks among the top crops grown anywhere in the world.
Unfortunately, sweet potatoes are not marketed based on their nutritional or medicinal value, instead they are still marketed primarily on how they look.
White grubs, or plectris grubs, make sweet potatoes look bad, very bad.
Though the burrowing damage, caused by feeding of these insects on sweet potatoes, doesn't reduce nutritional or health value of the crop, it can virtually destroy its marketability.
When plectris grub first showed up in Columbus County, N.C., it made an immediate impact, and not a good one, on growers there. The more immediate concern was to figure out how to prevent the insects from moving into even more highly intensive sweet potato growing areas of the state.
"When George Wooten found these insects in his sweet potatoes in 2006, that was the first time we knew we had a problem, or even that the pest was present in North Carolina, says North Carolina State University Entomologist Mark Abney.
"Since then we have had near catastrophic damage on sweet potatoes in some fields," he says.
Since it was first documented on sweet potatoes in North Carolina this pest has caused an estimated $16.5 million in losses, or about one-tenth the annual value of sweet potatoes in the state.
Despite intense research efforts, there remains no definitive chemical control for these pests.
In recent research, plectris grubs have been found in corn, soybean and peanut fields, creating significant concern but so far no real damage.
Only cotton a non-host
Among the major crops grown in the region, only cotton appears to be a non-host for these insects. The biggest economic impact has been felt by sweet potato growers.
These insects are amazing in the way they damage potatoes, Abney says. They feed on the surface, making large, ugly gouges and craters on the sweet potato. In too many cases affected potatoes aren't even marketable as processing potatoes.
In the processing plant there is no way to stop and cut out the affected part of the potato. Though the potato doesn't die from the damage, in most cases the gouges and craters on the surface make them unmarketable.
North Carolina is the No. 1 sweet potato growing state in the country and currently produces more than 40 percent of the U.S. crop.
Though it has been found in only a small part of the North Carolina sweet potato growing area, it has created concern across the entire U.S. sweet potato industry.
Abney has been at the forefront of containing white grub damage and has worked in sweet potatoes for most of his professional life.
After looking at numerous insecticide options, he says it looks like a two-pronged attack with insecticides and natural predators of the insect may offer hope in containing and managing plectris grubs.
Abney uses the term 'entomopathogens' to describe one biological approach he and his research team has undertaken to stem the movement of these white grubs.
One of his graduate students, Amber Arrington, has been using entomopathogens in combination with the most effective insecticide family used to combat white grubs.
"Using traditional organosphosphate insecticides has proven to be mostly futile in managing white grubs," she says.
"By switching to neonicotinoids, a relatively new family of insecticides, control was better, but we were still seeing 50 percent damage in some fields," she adds.
Control of plectris grubs with neonicotinoids continues to show promise, but damage is too high to prevent economic losses in sweet potatoes.
Previous research demonstrated some synergistic activity between neonicotinoids and pathogenic fungi and nematodes when used in combination to kill white grubs.
Paralyze target insect
The mode of action of neonicotinoid insecticides is to essentially paralyze the target insect. Plectris grubs, as do most white grubs, go through a grooming process which eliminates many naturally occurring fungal and nematode pathogens.
More of these pathogens are eliminated as grubs move through the soil.
By slowing the movement of plectris grubs, neonicotinoid insecticides give biological pathogens a chance to attach to these insects where they penetrate the body eventually causing death.
In her research Arrington used both naturally occurring pathogenic soil fungi and nematodes in treatments with and without neonicotinoids, each alone, and the combination of the fungi and nematodes.
The tests were done in Columbus County, in the heart of plectris grub damage to sweet potatoes. Insect levels were extremely high, and in non-treated plots, damage to sweet potatoes was as high as 80 percent.
For her tests, Arrington found a nematode species that actively moves in the soil and actively seeks a host. This particular nematode was applied in a soil drench in July, along with a neonicotinoid insecticide.
The number of roots damaged by plectris grubs did not differ significantly from one treatment to another.
However, there was a significant impact on the severity of damage when a combination of a neonicotinoid insecticide, in this case Admire, and pathogenic nematodes were applied.
"The results showed that early-season application of nematodes and insecticide worked better than when the products were applied later. This may be because younger grubs are more susceptible to the treatments than older grubs," she says.
"We know the adults of this species don't feed at all, and we documented that the biological parasites would only infect third instar grubs.
"So, we know growers won't need to apply these nematodes late in the season and it is likely one application per season is adequate to reduce damage caused to sweet potatoes by plectris grubs," she says.
"This is just one test in one year, so it's hard to make sweeping conclusions, but it is clear that some combination of a neonicotinoid insecticide and pathogenic nematodes can significantly reduce damage caused to sweet potatoes by plectris grubs, she adds.
"Obviously, we need more than one year of data from one site. Things like how environmental conditions affect the movements of these biological pathogens through the soil and the persistence of these pathogens within the soil will be critical to refining their use in combined management practice with neonicotinoid insecticides."

By Martin Weil
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, January 8, 2005; Page B06
Rosemary Kennedy, 86, the developmentally disabled oldest sister of President John F. Kennedy, died Jan. 7 at Fort Atkinson Memorial Hospital in Wisconsin.
Miss Kennedy was the oldest of the surviving Kennedy siblings, who include Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.).
She had lived most of her life in a facility in Wisconsin since undergoing a lobotomy more than 60 years ago.
Miss Kennedy was characterized as slow and shy-seeming from early childhood, possibly dyslexic and apparently retarded. But behavioral problems that began in her early twenties led to the brain operation, according to published accounts.
She was "probably the first mentally retarded person to receive a lobotomy," Jack El-Hai wrote in a 2001 article in The Washington Post Magazine.
A 1987 Post excerpt of a book by historian Doris Kearns Goodwin said that to Miss Kennedy's father, Joseph P. Kennedy Sr., a lobotomy -- a brain operation then regarded as a miracle treatment -- "was an obvious solution" to the frustrations she experienced in trying to find a place for herself in a hard-driving family.
However, according to Goodwin's account, "something went terribly wrong," and she emerged "far worse" than ever.
The institution that was chosen for her, according to the article, was St. Coletta of Wisconsin, near Jefferson. According to a statement St. Coletta issued last night, it aids the developmentally disabled and cared for her for 57 years.
Miss Kennedy liked to send letters to her nephews and nieces, and she visited relatives in Washington and Florida, the statement said. It said she liked visiting the Cape Cod home where she and her sisters and brothers grew up.
In a statement released last night through a spokeswoman for Sen. Kennedy, the family said that Miss Kennedy "has gone today to be with God." Her death was attributed to natural causes.
"She left us peacefully, with her brothers and sisters at her side," it said.
Miss Kennedy was "a lifelong jewel to every member of our family," the statement said, adding that from her earliest years, "her mental retardation was a continuing inspiration to each of us, and a powerful source of our family's commitment to do all we can to help all persons with disabilities live full and productive lives."
Her sister Eunice Shriver is known as the founder of the Special Olympics, and some accounts describe Rosemary as an inspiration for the athletic competition aimed at those with intellectual disabilities.
According to published accounts, Miss Kennedy had been presented to the king and queen of England in the 1930s while her father was the U.S. ambassador.
After the family's return from England, it was reported that her mental skills had deteriorated and her "customary good nature" had given way to violent behavior that no one could understand, Goodwin wrote.
Miss Kennedy was born in Boston in 1918. Her oldest brother, Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., died at 29 on a World War II mission.
President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 at age 46. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy was 42 when he was assassinated in 1968. Their sister Kathleen, was 28 when she was killed in an airplane crash in 1948.
The surviving sisters are Eunice, 83, Patricia, 80, and Jean, 76. Sen. Kennedy, 72, is the only survivor among the four brothers.

Colorwork Knitting: Starflower Mittens
I talk a lot about Sweden, partly because it is simply a country rife with so many things I love (baked goods, folk art, knitwear, etc.) and partly because I had the immense privilege to live outside of Stockholm with an amazing family when I was a junior in college. I arrived in the winter, and it was very dark and very cold. I had thought the winters in Maine were dark and cold, but this was a whole new level of dark. I would take the train to school in the dark, spend the day in classrooms, and take the train home in the dark. I began to doubt that the sun existed anymore.
Scandinavians prepare well for this phenomenon by making their homes colorful and cozy. There are a lot of brilliant patterns and bright colors to help keep winter doldrums from following you indoors. And winter weather accessories are also cheery, bright little beacons that shine through the gloom. I arrived in Sweden with some knitwear, of course, but my collection grew during my adventure. A pair of patterned two-toned purple (with green accents!) mittens purchased from an island in the archipelago are a staple of my winter wardrobe.
Interweave Knits Gifts 2015 has an awesome collection of merry mittens, eleven pairs in fact! They are full of great techniques and dynamic patterns, perfect to make for the winter we all know is rapidly approaching. Adrienne Larsen's Starflower Mittens are bright, colorful, and cheery. Beautiful stranded colorwork shows off the fantastic juxtaposition of a solid yarn with a variegated, working together to create a stunning pattern.
Also, the stranded colorwork knitting technique creates an amazingly warm fabric. Because you are carrying one strand along as you work with the other, you create a double thick finished work. With the cuff rolled back, below image, you can see how those strands not only add warmth but also create a very polished looking inside to the mittens. The real trick with this technique is not to pull the strands too tightly as you carry them along, or your fabric will look in turn puckered or pinched and overall uneven.
Plymouth Yarn Galway Worsted and Plymouth Yarn Gina are both available in many beautiful colors, with so many combinations possible. If you want to make them just like in the magazine, we have a beautiful kit available!
Winter will come, with or without bright and beautiful knitwear, but the transition to shorter daylight hours and a drop in temperature ends up being a much more pleasant experience with some festive handknits. Whether you like to knit for others, for yourself, or both, now's the time to cast-on winter wear. There's no feeling like that first really cold day when you get to wear your new mittens (scarf, sweater, hat, socks, etc.) for the first time, so get knitting!
Yours in yarny goodness,

WHITEWATER (October 14, 2011) - UW-Stout fell behind early, pulled to within a touchdown, but ultimately fell to two-time defending national champion UW-Whitewater, 42-21, Friday night at Warhawk Stadium.
Playing a rare Friday night game, Stout spotted the Warhawks (6-0, 3-0) a 7-0 lead six minutes into the game when quarterback Matt Blanchard tossed his first of three touchdown passes.
But Stout (3-3, 1-2) answered back with a couple of minutes left in the first quarter when quarterback Ross Carey (Sr, Little Suamico) scored from four yards out to tie the game.
The Warhawks did their own answering back by scoring three times in the second quarter, first on a four-yard run by back Levell Coppage, followed by Blanchard's second TD pass, this one a 31-yard strike to Tyler Huber. Coppage added another score with about 90 seconds left in the half on a 31-yard jaunt into the end zone.
The Blue Devils were not detered as Carey connect twice with Trevor Morning (So, Bloomer) on long touchdown passes in the third quarter to pull to within 28-21. Morning hauled in a 39-yard score at the seven minute mark, and topped that with a 45 yard play just before the end of the quarter.
Two scores by Whitewater, and two interceptions of Carey passes, helped the Warhawks to pull away. Coppage added his third score of the game minutes into the fourth, this time on a 26 yard scamper and Blanchard put the game out of reach with five minutes left on a nine-yard pass to Bernie Tamsett.
Carey was 18-of-32 for 213 yards with two TDs and two interceptions. Morning had the two catches for 84 yards, while Adam Smith (So, Dasell, Minn) and Josh Peterson (Jr, Cedar Grove) each caught five passes, Smith for 36 yards, Peterson for 47.
For Whitewater, Blanchard was 20-of-28 for 294 yards, three TDs and no interceptions. Luke Menzel caught seven passes for 153 yards, while Huber had six grabs for 76 yards. Coppage carried the ball 22 times for 139 yards. Blanchard rolled up 64 yards on eight scrambles.
The Warhawks rolled up 539 yards of total offense, 294 in the air, 245 on the ground, while Stout tallied 300 yards, 213 by pass, 87 on the ground.
Stout returns to Don and Nona Williams Stadium, Saturday, Oct. 22 when they host UW-La Crosse at 6 p.m. in the Blue Devils' third night game of the season.

I tried to bowl tightly: Ojha
Kolkata - India spinner Pragyan Ojha, who was the most successful bowler for his team taking three wickets, said Friday he concentrated on bowling a tight line and length and not giving away easy runs which eventually got him the dismissals.
"Yesterday I was trying to do too many things while searching for a wicket. But today I talked to myself and resolved that I will bowl a tight line and not give away easy runs to the batsman," Ojha said after the third day's play of the third Test against England at the Eden Gardens here.
On the second day Ojha returned with figures of 1/66 in 20 overs but came back strongly on the third day to add two more wickets to his tally giving away 74 runs of the 30 overs he bowled Friday.
"The wicket is playing good and the outfield is very fast. The batsmen don't have to make much effort to score runs. So it was essential that I conceded less runs. I bowled according to the field and tried to stifle the batsmen," he said.
When asked if bowling coach Joe Dawes – not being a spinner – was of much help, he replied: "Dawes is very knowledgeable and has been helping with my bowling. I also consult (former India spinners) V. Raju and Sunil Joshi."
Former Queensland fast bowler Dawes took over the reins as India's bowling coach earlier in the year.
In spite of India conceding a 193 runs as first innings lead to England who still have four wickets remaining, Ojha said the team was confident of bouncing back in the game.
"If we can take one or two quick wickets tomorrow (Saturday) the tail will be exposed and we can get them out cheaply. Our batsmen are good and the wicket is still assisting stroke play so we are sure we can do well and come back in the match," said the left-arm orthodox bowler.
He added that the pitch was assisting reverse swing and the Indian pacers will get help from it Saturday.
Led by skipper Alastair Cook's 190, England scored 509/6 to open up a lead of 193 runs.

We've been coveting the expertly curated wares (3.1 Phillip Lim! Isabel Marant! Equipment!) of NYC's Otte boutique since its very first storefront opened in Brooklyn. Now, with four Manhattan locations and a new in-store line, we still can't get enough of this loyally followed brand...or the lovely ladies behind it.
Owner Kay Lee and brand manager (and Lee's righthand gal) Lauren Bozicevich are just as chic and as their swoon-worthy stock — makes sense, right? Needless to say, we couldn't wait to get our hands on their personal duds, and lucky for us, they were nice enough to oblige.

When I want to copy a screenshot to a vfat-usb-stick, I always get an error that the filename is invalid. The filename contains ":"-characters which apparentlyare not allowed characters in a vfat-filesystem.
I was not aware of this problem, because I used Nautilus on an Ubuntu-system. I upgraded a relative's computer to Xubuntu 14.04 and he noticed me, that he could not save a screenshot to his
usb-memory-stick. Renaming the file (eg. deleting the ":"'s solves the problem. I wondered why I didn't have this problem with Nautilus. Well, Nautilus is automatically replacing the ":" with an underscore
when writing the file to the usb-stick.
Can this feature be enabled, implemented in Thunar? Otherwise, one has to rename the files manually
It would probably be better if you created a feature request bug report here.

Mat, how's the body holding up?
Rest In Peace Craigos
Last edited by James; 22-06-2009 at 04:17 AM. Reason: moving answers down underneath the quote.
Any good stories you can tell us while on tour? Team mates muckin around or anything like that?
Have you ever thought about playing IPL? What do you think you need to do so you can get back into the test team?
Thanks heaps, mate for answering all these questions. All the best in the rest of your career.
Whats you view matt of the 20/20 comp with s africa,nz and aust sides 2010/11 southern cross competition i think forget its name.
Are you keen to play i think their will be 2 kiwi sides in it.
Mat, your a legend. You average more than WG Grace in FC and Test cricket. Anyway, do you still have international aspirations or are you looking to wind things up after your benefit season?
We've seen 1001 different Test opening combinations for New Zealand in recent times. Every time you look to be finding a viable partner for the established opener, the established opener drops off in his performances and finds himself dropped to start the vicious cycle all over again with the "viable partner" assuming the "established opener" role, etc etc.
Who do you think should be opening the batting for New Zealand in Test cricket?
Matt, whaddya think about Mitchell McClennaghan?
Everyone on the forum knows I think he's....not so good, but his name has been bandied around as a possible on both here and other NZ media. His record now is obviosuly poor and he and Sherlock between them must have given you a few run rate headaches, but obviously you must see something there in the guy. He has good pace, bounce etc. I'd be interested to know your thoughts on his development, whether he's worth picking now for the Black Caps and what he could end up like? Cheers.
Proudly supporting Central Districts
RIP Craig Walsh
On the last tour of South Africa (I think it was the last tour anyway) you played in the ODI series. I remember one of the game you held our batting together and then at the death got nailed in the head by an Ntini bouncer. You then proceeded to charge down the pitch and smash him for 4 and then 6 (I think..memory a little fuzzy here). I thought it took some quite massive balls to charge down the pitch after being smashed in the head on a fairly quick deck against a quality bowler, what was going through your head? What prompted you to charge down the pitch? Anger?
It was gold anyway. Good luck to you and CD for the upcoming season.
What do you think you should do to get back into the national side?
If you were granted an opportunity to join the IPL, which team do you opt to join?
What do you think about Jesse Ryder?

10 Kitchen-Living Room Combos That Actually Work

After moving to a one-bedroom that exchanged a separate kitchen for a bedroom (this kitchen was a galley along one side of the living room), I came to realize exactly just how much I appreciated a kitchen separate from the living room.
But these examples of kitchens in living rooms make it look quite doable, even in less than 200 square feet. Rounded up from this year's Small Cool contest over at Apartment Therapy, here are 10 homes that make combining the kitchen and the living room look, well, cool.
1. Amanda & PV's Flexible Functionality
2. Brian's Off the Grid Home
3. Nicole's Back Bay Studio
4. Olivia's Earthquake Cottage
5. Natasha's Fashionable & Functional
6. Rebecca's Deliberate Lifestyle
7. Amy's Light & Airy Apartment
8. Jessica's 'More Is More'
9. Eric's Hollywood Hills View
10. Tomas' Perfect Balance

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The MIT men's swimming and diving team traveled to Brunswick, Maine, to face Bowdoin College and Babson College in a tri-meet last Saturday. The Engineers had no trouble with either team and easily downed both the Beavers (226-69) and host Polar Bears (232-57) to close out the fall head-to-head season.
MIT's men touched the wall first in all fourteen swimming events with their only losses coming to Babson's Aaron Paradis, who took first in both one- and three-meter diving. Two Engineers achieved NCAA "B" cut times as Rastislav Racz won the 100 yard breaststroke (57.84) and Brendan Liu finished first in the 200 yard backstroke (1:53.88). In addition, junior Toomas Sepp bettered his personal best with his winning time in the 100 yard butterfly (51.62).
Babson's leading scorers were Paradis and fellow-diver Ryan Pope; the pair secured a 1-2 finish in both diving events.
Bowdoin's top performers included Nathan Mecray, who finished second in both the 100 yard breaststroke and freestyle, and Basyl Stuyvesant, who earned a runner-up finish in the 200 yard backstroke.
The Engineers hit the pool again one more time before winter break as they host several teams, including Bowdoin, for the MIT Invitational on December 4-5. The Beavers will have a chance to rest before their next meet when they travel to Coast Guard on January 12.
