Check out the new SBJ Article! Zimmerman's deal gives him ballpark for charity event
Posted August 2, 2010on:
Published August 02, 2010 : Page 28
Washington Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman next week will host a charity fundraising event at Nationals Park for his multiple sclerosis foundation, marking the rare use of a major league facility by a player for his own purposes.
Zimmerman and his agent, CAA Sports' Brodie Van Wagenen, negotiated the rent-free use of Nationals Park for one day per year into the five-year, $45 million contract Zimmerman signed early last year. The Aug. 9 event for the ziMS Foundation will be the first activation of that clause.
The intimate affair will feature a temporary stage built near the ballpark's Presidents Club for musical acts Amos Lee and Mutlu, magician David Blaine, and a series of live and silent auctions.
The event, dubbed "A Night At The Park," is being designed to draw about 1,000 people and is likely to raise a six-figure sum after expenses for the four-year-old ziMS Foundation. Zimmerman's mother, Cheryl, has suffered from MS for the past 15 years, prompting him to make the push for the annual stadium use during the contract negotiations.
If next week's event is successful, Zimmerman said he will aim for larger events that make greater use of Nationals Park's 41,888-seat capacity.
"The goal is to make this bigger and better every year," Zimmerman said. "We're looking to grow the foundation, and the way to do that is to have bigger and better events, and having something unique like this I hope will raise the awareness and excitement level for what we're doing."
The Nationals will aid in the event both through helping to promote it and staffing it for security, concessions, building maintenance and other functions. Team President Stan Kasten said Zimmerman's stadium-use clause was the first one of this type he had negotiated with a player.
"We were happy to do this," Kasten said. "Ryan's very committed to this cause. The event's going to be a very cool thing, and ideally will inspire more players to pursue similar projects."

Smoking Monkey
- Artist: Jonathan Coulton
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 7/26/2012
|your cart is empty
By turns hilarious and melancholy, rockin' and melodious, Jonathan Coulton's lovely ditties about vengeful nerds, ennui-afflicted clowns, partially-imagined historical figures, and devotees of a certain Swedish prefab furniture store are insanely clever without ever being too clever for their own good. They repeatedly lure you into laughing before suddenly breaking your heart. And the sick part is, you keep coming back. Coulton's is the voice of every spooky elementary school kid who could never quite keep his shirt tucked in or shoes tied; every lovelorn mason and mad scientist; every one of us who has ever sat despairingly on the floor, surrounded by parts of an Ikea endtable, weeping over our allen wrenches. (He also acquits himself beautifully in the ever-popular genre of odes to outdoor copulation.)

Coined an "unexpected" love story, this must-read from chart-topping author Jennifer Weiner showcases the story of four women and a baby. India has recently married Marcus, a much older and quite wealthy man, and is intent on producing an off-spring — but is it for the right reasons? Jules is a Princeton-educated young woman who finds herself in a sad family situation which causes her to sell her eggs to help save her father before addiction takes his life.
Annie is a Pennsylvania housewife who has two young children of her own and wants to offer her services as a surrogate to another woman in need — and help herself and her struggling family at the same time. But Bettina, India's 23-year-old stepdaughter, is wary of her new mother's plan of producing a baby. In a novel that will arrest your attention throughout, these stories will mesh together with the creativity and care that Weiner brings to all her works. With surrogacy making the headlines due to Giuliana Rancic, E! News co-host and reality star, announcing that she and husband Bill are expecting their first child via a gestational surrogate, my interest in Then Came You was sparked. A very timely story, this novel will cause both laughter and tears and provide insight into surrogacy issues. This is definitely one for your summer to–read list and will be released in paperback on May 8.
As a bonus, on May 8 Atria will be publishing Swim, an original eBook short story from Jennifer Weiner. This will be a free download wherever books are sold and is a must-read for all readers out there — especially Weiner fans. Weiner began writing Swim after spending time in Los Angeles writing the ABC Family show State of Georgia. Swim is also the inspiration for her next novel, The Next Best Thing, which will be published by Atria on July 3, 2012.
Jennifer Weiner is going on a book tour and she could be coming to your city. If you want to ask her a question or listen to her read an excerpt from her novel, head over to her website for more details about her tour dates and locations.

Ask a Doctor and Get an Answer to Your Medical Question ASAP
Hi Freddie.
There are two possibilities here but you need to have a doctor check this out--
One would be what's called an indirect hernia--the bowels goes into the scrotum
The other possibility would be a hydrocele--a sac of fluid within the scrotum itself.
You need an exam and a scrotal ultrasound for this, and you may need surgery for it
Let me know if you need any more information please

How to prevent direct file access in your wp-content directory
I was working on a secure site with sensitive video material that we needed strict members access to. Even though many plugins can make sure your direct permalinks can only be seen by logged in members, direct links to files in your wp-content directory are still accessible to others. They can even be hotlinked from other sites.
One way around this is to move the wp-content directory outside the web visible portion of your directory on the server, but even so WordPress can always link to such files. A better way is to tell your server not to give access to certain files (say ending with mp4 or mp3) and only allow access from your own domain.
We can use Apache Mod Rewrite for this – it's a complex language that you can utilise in your .htaccess file within the wp-content folder.
Let me show you how to keep prying eyes out of your content.
The Problem
Say you had a PDF file that you'd like visitors on your own site to download.
However, if someone were to copy this link and call it from a browser window directly, or if they were to post the link to you PDF on another website then the document shall not be accessible. By default it is. Let' fix that.
The Solution
Upload a .htaccess file into your wp-content folder. Have a look if one exists already, then append this code to the end of the file. If you don't have one, just create a new blank file and add this code to it:
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?yourwebsite\.com/ [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !hotlink\.(gif|png|jpg|doc|xls|pdf|html|htm|xlsx|docx|mp4|mov) [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*wordpress_logged_in.*$ [NC] RewriteRule .*\.(gif|png|jpg|doc|xls|pdf|html|htm|xlsx|docx|mp4|mov)$ http://yourwebsite.com/ [NC]
This rather strange sounding code is neither Linux nor PHP nor MySQL – it's Apache (that's the service which usually takes care of serving up those websites from a server). These are instructions that will tell Apache to do the following – I'll explain this line by line:
- here are some instructions I'd like you to use in this directory
- IF someone comes from anywhere other than yourwebsite.com
- AND they ask for a direct file that ends with any of the following (gif, png, jpg, etc)
- AND they are not logged into WordPress on this domain
- THEN direct every link to such files to http://yourwebsite.com
If these conditions are not met, then give out the file – everyone's happy.
Why do I need this?
To prevent people hotlinking to your files. One aspect is security: say you have sensitive material that you only want your direct visitors to see. Or imagine you had a members area and give out a PDF that you'd like only logged in visitors to see without an encrypted link.
The same goes for image files or videos hosted on your site which you'd like to embed into your own pages but not allow embedding on external sites.
I had a guy once hotlink one of my images as his MySpace profile, the background graphic came from my server. If you're on a plan with bandwidth limitations this can get you into trouble.
I want this functionality, but this all sounds Chinese. Can you help me?
Certainly! Book a half hour support slot here or over at WP Hosting and I'll get this setup for you in no time.

There is the popular vote, which gets headlines, and the electoral college vote, which determines winners.
What we're asking for from you is your prediction for both.
Give a percentage of the national vote President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney will receive by Tuesday. (It does not have to add to 100 given to rounding and third-party candidates.)
Then offer the important electoral college vote totals for each candidate. Note: It has to add up to 538, with 270 or more needed to win. There can be a tie at 269 — which would send the election to the next House of Representatives (i.e. the one elected Tuesday.)
You can give analysis backing your numbers (candidate X will take swing states A, B, and C …) BUT NOT POLEMICS ATTACKING OR BACKING A CANDIDATE. Those will be trashed.
Fivethirtyeight.com is an excellent resource. And 270towin.com has an interactive electoral college map that allows you to test different scenarios.
Good luck, and happy guessing.

MVP. 11-time All-Star. NBA champion. Finals MVP. Now, Dirk Nowitzki has another milestone to add to his growing list of accolades. Nowitzki scored his 25,000th career point on Sunday, during the Dallas Mavericks' 107-89 win over the New Orleans Hornets.
He is the 17th player in NBA history to reach the milestone, and the 21st when the NBA and ABA are combined.
Nowitzki had 24,990 career points before the game, and his 19 against the Hornets put his career total at 25,009.
Nowitzki's unique skillset has made the German forward one of the most dominant players in the NBA over his 15-year career, and almost certainly a future Hall of Famer. As a seven-footer with a center's post moves and the shooting stroke of a guard, Nowitzki has caused matchup problems for opponents since making his NBA debut in 1999.
Nowitzki and owner Mark Cuban have become synonymous with the Mavs' ascent to a perennial title contender since he entered the league. Dallas reached the postseason 12 consecutive times between 2000 and 2012, and reached the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history in 2006 before losing to the Miami Heat.
The following year, Nowitzki won the league's MVP award after posting a 50-40-90 season (shooting percentages of at least 50% from the field, 40% from three-point range, and 90% from the foul line). He is only the second non-guard in NBA history to accomplish this feat, other than Larry Bird, although Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant looks likely to join them this season.
Nowitzki won his first NBA championship in 2011, when the Mavericks upset LeBron James' Miami Heat in six games. Nowitzki took home MVP honors for the Finals, averaging 26 points and 9.7 rebounds in the series.
Next up for Nowitzki on the all-time scoring list is Jerry West, who has 25,192 career points. Barring an injury, he will pass West early next season. Kevin Garnett and Kobe Bryant are the only active players ahead of Nowitzki on the list, and Nowitzki and Garnett have a realistic chance of passing Reggie Miller and Alex English for 13th and 14th in the all-time NBA rankings, and 16th and 17th in the combined NBA/ABA rankings.
Nowitzki, who will turn 35 in June, will be a free agent after the 2013-14 season. He recently told Sam Amick of USA TODAY Sports that he wants to finish his career with the Mavericks, the only NBA team he has ever played for. However, he hinted that he may consider signing somewhere else if the Mavs haven't made the necessary moves to become competitive again.

Two years ago, the Alaska Supreme Court closed a door but opened a window. Over the last 10 years, three lieutenant governors have rejected a petition that called for "a vote for a vote" on an independent and free Alaska.
The petition asked: Should Alaskans have the right to vote on this issue?
If the majority answered affirmatively (perhaps because, regardless of how you feel about independence, a free people's right to choose who governs them is the bedrock of our beliefs), then a vote on independence would occur two years later.
Ken Jacobus argued for the right on constitutional grounds (10th Amendment). The lieutenant governors' argued that our free association of states was, in fact, an "indestructible union." The politicians argued that because a court struck down a bond sale in Texas in the 1860s, Alaskans can't vote on independence in this or any other century.
Our state Supreme Court saw through this. They decided the people could not directly vote on independence but could vote on instructing our legislature to seek changes to make it possible.
The court asked for another petition to be submitted and in direct defiance of the court it was rejected by Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell.
So our right to vote will go on trial again this coming March.
Parnell, let the people decide!

State chairman, Alaska Libertarian Party

Windmill at sunset in Australia
Despite Australia's resistance to limiting carbon dioxide emissions through the Kyoto Protocol, Australian industry and entrepreneurs are working on novel ways to reduce dependence on traditional fossil fuels. Australia's opposition to the Kyoto Protocol is not surprising -- 85 percent of the country's electricity generation comes from coal and the Australian is highly dependent on energy use. The country targets limiting carbon dioxide emissions to an 8 percent increase in 1990 levels by 2012, whereas other industrialized countries including European Union nations, Russia and Japan (but not the United States) have agreed to cut emissions by 5.2 percent below 1990 levels by 2012. Despite its hesitance to reduce emissions, Australia is particularly vulnerable to climate change.

India Will Find Modi Only So Resourceful
Investors in India's heavily regulated resources companies consider Narendra Modi the savior who can unshackle them. But one man may not be enough.
Power, metals and energy stocks have soared since Mr. Modi's landslide victory last week. The hope is Mr. Modi will slash red tape, approve projects and boost overall industrial demand. But there are places where Mr. Modi can act, and places he can't.
Start with the power...

I'm headed for
the back hangar almost before Big Air hits the ground, prompting an acerbic
remark from Fidget. Alex cuts her off with something, but I ignore them
both. The pattern of their words nags at me, begging to be deciphered...
No. Not right now. If I get sucked into one more complexity right now,
I'm going to lose it. And I promised myself a long time ago that I wasn't
going to let it happen anymore.
Into the hangar, grab my gear-- stowed right by the hatch, thanks, Alex-- and out the door before the dust has settled. I realize I'm almost running across the mesa, and force myself to slow down, to breathe...
It's twilight now... very peaceful out in the desert. I take another deep breath, my pace finally slowing to a walk as I set up the targets. The moon's full tonight, so I won't need to ask Alex to turn on the outside lights. Good... I really don't want to go back in there right now. Alex knows about my problem, of course... and I think Grinder's figured it out, but I haven't asked yet. Fidget, though, could never keep it from me if she did, so I know she doesn't know. And even though Alex thinks I'm being unreasonable, and I probably am, I just can't face telling her about it.
A hundred yards... that's pretty good, without a scope. Taking a deep breath, I raise the rifle to my shoulder, sight down the barrel and fire. Dead center, as usual. I smile a little, feeling the wind run through my hair as I reload. I'm a pretty good shot with most types of gun, but the rifle's always been my favorite. 20-20, usually. I've even won a couple of competitions.
Sight, fire, reload. Sight, fire, reload. The rhythm is simple, easy to concentrate on. Focus on that, narrow your vision until there's nothing but the rifle and the target. Slowly, I feel the tension seeping out of my muscles, the clamor quieting in the back of my mind. I sigh in relief, resting the gun against the ground. Another attack averted.
Panic attacks. Anxiety disorder. People know the words, but the words don't come close to expressing what it's actually like. Try to imagine walking around a corner and being confronted with the biggest, ugliest, meanest palmetto bug ever to come out of Florida, a cockroach the size of Jerry Springer. Now, imagine you feel that way WITHOUT the cockroach. That's the panic attack, kicking your adrenaline into overdrive on some mundane, stupid trigger that has nothing to do with fight or flight at all. With me, it's patterns-- complexity. I get caught up in the twists and turns... it's like information overload. Some people have 'em when they flash back on a trauma, others when they overload a sense. Sight, sound... I knew a guy in high school who had one triggered by the Nordstrom's perfume counter.
So yeah, I have panic attacks. Have since high school, actually. I hid them pretty well, from everybody except Alex. That's what having friends gets you-- fewer secrets. Not that I'm complaining. I couldn't even tell him about them, though... he had to find me in the middle of one before he knew.
Alex asked me once why I didn't get medication. There's a lot of reasons, I guess. For one thing, I'm too stubborn. I've never wanted to admit that I couldn't handle this stuff on my own. More than that, though, medicine is expensive. And while I know my parents would have gotten it for me, they didn't really have the money to spare. I could handle it myself, so I did.
Sure, we could easily afford it now, but now we've got a new reason. Masters is a piranha, ready to pounce on any sign of weakness that will make for sensationalism. I've already got a rep for being high-strung-- if it gets out that I have anxiety attacks, we'll be lucky not to lose all our sponsors. Nobody wants to be connected with a team whose manager cracks under pressure. And with all this Dr. X craziness, we've had enough trouble getting funding. I'm not going to risk losing that.
And speaking of that maniac... Gah. No wonder I had an attack. That swarm of trilobugs, having to work with Dr. X, riding shotgun-- and I DO mean shotgun!-- for Asazi the fern... and then there's getting Brandon back, which I still don't entirely understand. Having to deal with Alex's crazy plans, InterCEPT being a pain in the ass, trying to keep track of three teammates who don't understand self-preservation... It's a wonder I made it as long as I did.
I could go back in, I guess, but everyone else has their own problems to work through. Alex, mainly. His world has repeatedly been turned upside down over the past few months, and I think he needs to adjust to the idea that he's gonna be settling down for a while. Brandon's back, and the coach is going to be spending most of his time rehabilitating him for the foreseeable future. I'm not sure who to worry about-- ah, hell, they're perfect for each other. Hopefully they'll keep each other OUT of our hair.
You know, oddly enough... for all the damage Coach Grey did to us, I do owe him something... He was the one who first suggested I try out for the rifle team. Oh, sure, he did it to keep me away from Alex-- shooting's the only sport Alex WON'T do, and the only one I can't screw up. But still, even if he didn't know it, the man did give me something I can focus on... something to keep me sane when everything around me's going crazy.
Deep breath, feel the wind, cool and dry. I'm not ready to go in yet... maybe I'll do some more target practice. The moon's still bright and high...

RBA cuts cash rate to 2%
The RBA cut the cash rate to 2%, so what impact does this have on your debt and budgeting?
If you have a mortgage on your own home or an investment property, this may be good news for you as your bank may cut your interest rate on your loan (if on a variable interest rate). Home loan interest rates in the past were adjusted down or up in line with changes to the cash rate by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). However in recent times, banks have broken away from this to a degree and may only pass on part of a rate cut, on the other hand they usually pass on the increase in full!Read More

Agent confirms deal; Finley to join Cs Saturday
Michael Finley, who will join the Celtics Saturday, had little problem selecting the Celtics as his new team today, according to agent Henry Thomas.
Here's what the agent had to say this afternoon after reaching agreement with the Celtics.
"A couple of years ago, before Michael re-signed with San Antonio, there was mutual interest between Michael and Boston. So what's going on there has always intrested Michael.
"It didn't take long. There were several contending teams, but Boston was the most interested. They had a situation where Michael feels he can really earn a role. They told me they liked his ability to shoot and defend - the same role as he's had in San Antonio for all these years. He's a seasoned vet, and he brings all of these things to a vey good team.
"It's good for Michael now, because he found himself for the first time after all these years out of (the San Antonio) rotation. Even at the start of this season he was in the rotation, but then he suffered an ankle injury, and he missed time for the first time in four years.
"It was kind of abrupt for him, and it was something he wasn't prepared for. Some guys get into their later years and are able to accept that, but Michael wasn't willinto settle for that.''

Update 9/01: Firmware patch 1.3.2 has been released and is available for download. You must use this firmware version or higher for your camera to be compatible with the SmallHD 501 and 502 monitors.
Update 8/27: The bug and resolution have been found, and new firmware will be released for the D16 on 8/31 to accept the SmallHD signal.
Earlier this year, SmallHD released a wonderful line of new HD EVFs with fantastic color and display technology, namely the 501 (HDMI) and 502 (SDI/HDMI) models.
Unfortunately, after a handful of Digital Bolex users complained in the last two months of SSDs dismounting, frozen cameras, and potential footage loss, we have discovered that these new monitors have an incompatibility with the current D16 firmware, resulting from SmallHD using a newer EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) data standard in their HDMI signal not used in most other EVF products on the market, a standard that the D16's firmware is not currently set up to accept. This incompatibility causes a problem with the D16's internal SSD drive that effects its ability to record and playback footage.
SmallHD provided us with samples of their new monitors so our engineers could help to diagnose the problem and has been active in helping them solve the issue. While a recent update to the SmallHD firmware was recently released, it did not solve these critical issues. For the time being, we are currently recommending that users of the Digital Bolex do not use the new SmallHD 500 series EVFs with our camera until the newest D16 firmware patch is released. With the current D16 firmware configuration, the 500 series monitors may damage your camera after continuous use, and we will not be able to provide warranty repair for issues resulting from the use of a 500 series monitor at this time.
We thank SmallHD for working with us on resolving this issue, and additionally enthusiastically recommend their DP4, DP7, and AC7 monitors as reliable accessories for the Digital Bolex, and also support the similar products of other manufacturers like Cineroid, Zacuto, TVLogic, and F&V, whose EVFs have shown no compatibility issues.

May 14, 2009 – The Obama Administration acting upon the call from the National Association of Realtors, announced Financial Incentives and Uniform Process for Short Sales under its new Foreclosure Alternatives Program (FAP). The alternatives are meant for borrowers who do not qualify to have their loans modified on a permanent basis under the Making Home Affordable Loan Modification Program. The servicer may consider a short sale, or if that is not successful, a deed-in-lieu foreclosure.
Here are the details of FAP:
Borrowers (Homeowners).Borrowers/homeowners qualify under the FAP if they meet minimum eligibility requirements for the Home Affordable Modification program but don't qualify for a modification or do not successfully complete the three month trial period. Before proceeding with a foreclosure, servicers must determine if a short sale is appropriate. FAP may streamline the short sale process and may produce a higher percentage of successful short sale transactions and settlements.
- Incentives. Incentives include: (1) $1,000 for servicers for successful completion of a short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure; (2) $1,500 for borrowers/homeowners to help with relocation expenses; and (3) up to $1,000 toward the cost of paying junior lien holders to release their liens (one dollar from the government for every $2 paid by the investors to the second lien holders).
- Standardized Documents. The program will include streamlined and standardized documents, including a Short Sale Agreement and an Offer Acceptance Letter. The goal is to minimize complexity and increase use of the short sale option.
- Property Valuation by Appraisal or BPO. Servicers will independently establish both property value and minimum acceptable net return, in accordance with investor requirements. The price may be determined based on an appraisal or one or more broker price opinions (BPOs), issued no more than 120 days before the date of the short sale agreement.
- Timeline. In the Short Sale Agreement, servicers must give borrowers/homeowners at least 90 days to market and sell the property, or up to one year, depending on market conditions. Property must be listed with a licensed real estate professional with experience in the neighborhood. No foreclosure may take place during the marketing period (at least 90 days) specified in the Short Sale Agreement.
- Commissions. The Short Sale Agreement must specify the reasonable and customary real estate commissions and costs that may be deducted from the sales price. The servicer must agree not to negotiate a lower commission after an offer has been received.
- No Borrower Fees. Servicers may not charge fees to borrowers/homeowners for participating in the FAP.
- Program Expiration. The program is in effect through 2012.
- DIL Option. Servicers have the option to require the borrower/homeowner to agree to deed the property to the servicer in exchange for a release from the debt if the property does not sell within the time allowed in the Short Sale Agreement (plus any extensions).
The implementation of FAP may lead to a higher pecentage of successful short sales.

– Comments (5)
Lockhart said that policymakers are eager to prevent a large drop in home values from their current, deflated levels.
"Just as we had a large overshooting to the upside. Is there any way to prevent going much further to the downside? That will cause tremendous harm to the U.S. economy, to the financial system and it's not necessary," he said.
Lockhart is either a buffoon or a liar if he contends that houses are at "deflated" levels now. Up 300% then down 30% does not = down. In far too many places, houses are still WAY too expensive by any historical norm, price to rent, price to income, pick your poison.
I suspect Mr. Lockhart is going to learn just how impotent he is. He can't set housing prices, no matter how much he chants "Yes, we can." With supply out of whack, more and more homedebtors defaulting on loans they never expected to have to services, and job losses, house prices will keep dropping.
Here's an owner-equivalent rent graph, one of the many amazing goodies you can get at Calculated Risk.
Check it out, Mr. Lockhart, and you'll see that the usual range for price to rent is somewhere between 1 and 1.1. We're still at 1.3, and rents are now falling, too.
Let the market correct, Lockhart. There's nothing you can do to stop it.
Lockhart's comments are very general, it depends on the region and category as well as the assessed value. If the price is less then the assessed value then lack of demand could be one of the causes but there are 19 million vacant homes in the market.
Maybe they should hire a small army and tear them all down.
That's going to happen in some places, especially the farmland in California and Minnesota where big housing developments sit empty. They'll plow them under, I have no doubt.
Good catch; this is exactly the sort of economic idiocy I expect from lawmakers, which is why I think the government's "bad bank" plan will fail.
Lockhart is Dubya's buddy from prep school, the same genius who said Fan and Fred were extremely well capitalized last summer, then turned around and said "I told you so" after they were taken over...how does this guy still have a job?

and then have all the leds share a single resistor
but thats if they're all in parallel...if you ran two sets of 10 leds in series you could have closer to 12hrs...
i meant wire up 2 sets of 10 leds in parallel and have those two strains wired in series...so it would use up 4.2v and a bit less current.
Just make sure each LED has its own resistor... never have LEDs paralleled and then have a resistor coming from that.

Gianluigi Buffon insists his Juventus side will be competitive when they face Lazio in the Italian Super Cup Final on August 18.
The Old Lady's pre-season form has been worrying and they lost 10-9 on penalties to Inter during the night after a 1-1 draw with the Nerazzurri.
"The results of these games don't worry me," the Italian international noted. "I would have been more worried had we been brilliant…
"Had that been the case then it would have suggested that we would have had little energy during the rest of the season.
"Many of us have been training for just eight or nine days and playing an entire game, as some did, is tough because we've worked a great deal.
"We'll now have the time to get over the exertion of our preparation and get ourselves ready for the first official games."

'Awkward' new start for Council
A war of words erupted between Tipperary Co. Council Cathaoirleach Michael Fitzgerald (FG) and Cllr Seamus Morris (SF) at the first full sitting of
Tipperary Co Council in Clonmel on Monday morning.
The County Council was due to nominate board members to the Local and Community Development Committee (LCDC). The body dispurses money to local business and civic groups across the county and applies for funding for rural development projects. Co Manager Joe McGrath explained to Councillors that there is a statutory legal obligation on the Council to nominate board members at its first meeting. Cllr Seamus Morris proposed a counter motion to delay the nomination saying there was a "total lack of information" about the new body. He was "horrified" to see that there was no role for unions. "I don't think we are ready to nominate anybody." Cllr Morris suggested they hold a meeting between Tipperary Co Council and North and South Tipperary LEADER groups.

The Columbia Canal has played an important role in the commercial and industrial development of Columbia. Historically significant for its influence on the city's growth, the Columbia Canal is also a notable example of the engineering expertise of the nineteenth century. Completed in 1824, the canal was designed to enable the navigation of the Broad and Congaree Rivers at their confluence in Columbia. It was part of the state-sponsored system of internal improvements designed to create inexpensive and efficient transportation facilities across South Carolina. Although its importance as a means of transportation significantly decreased after the arrival of the railroad in Columbia in 1842, the canal continued to be used for local commerce and provided water power for small industries. The Columbia Canal was the only canal project in the state that remained in use after the advent of the railroad. During the Civil War a portion of the canal was leased to the Confederate government. After the War, the canal passed through several owners before reverting to the state. In 1888, as part of the post-Civil War movement to industrialize the South, the State of South Carolina decided to enlarge the canal as a means of providing a power source to aid in the industrial development of Columbia. The enlarged canal was completed in 1891. The canal subsequently served as an impetus to the establishment of mills and factories in Columbia, thereby playing an important role in the growth of the city. In addition, the Columbia Canal was the site of one of the first power houses in the nation to utilize hydroelectric power to drive a large textile mill. Since its completion in 1891 the Columbia Canal has continuously served as a major power source for the city of Columbia. Listed in the National Register January 15, 1979.

The targeting setting determines if an ad group must serve ads only to users in the associated remarketing lists (Target and Bid option) or to all users (Bid only option).
It is not logically possible for an ad group to be associated with one remarketing list using the Target and Bid option and another using the Bid only option. Hence, the system enforces the same targeting setting across all the associations for a given ad group.
While the status and bid adjustments of associations can be edited in bulk by selecting associations and clicking Edit on the Audience tab, targeting setting cannot. Targeting setting can only be edited one ad group at a time from the Audience tab by clicking on Add association and then selecting the relevant ad group. The updated targeting setting is applied to all the associations of that ad group.

With alliances firmed up, Dravidian rivals hit campaign trail
Arch Dravidian rivals DMK and AIADMK are seeking to reach out to voters promising freebies galore.
Chennai: With political parties in Tamil Nadu
finalising their alliances for the April 13 assembly polls,
the scene has now shifted to the campaign trail and arch
Dravidian rivals - the ruling DMK and AIADMK - are seeking to
reach out to people with manifestos promising freebies galore.
Among the freebies the parties have announced are grinders,
mixies, fans, educational assistance and special schemes which
are expected to touch a chord with the voters.
The leaders of the rival parties -- DMK President and Chief
Minister M Karunanidhi and AIADMK General Secretary
Jayalalithaa, have also launched their campaign.
Hitting the campaign trial on Wednesday from Tiruvarur,
Karunanidhi said the DMK-led alliance, which includes
Congress, was not linked by the "desire for position", but by
principles and ethos.
Karunanidhi appealed to the people to vote for the DMK for
continuation of `good governance` and claimed that AIADMK`s
manifesto would not impress the people.
Karunanidhi is contesting from Tiruvarur, his native town,
shifting from Chepauk in Chennai, in what could be perhaps the
last polls for the 86-year-old leader.
On the other hand, Jayalalithaa, who is contesting from the
temple town of Srirangam, commenced her campaign a day later,
promising that the state would become an `economic power` if
her party was voted to power.
She attacked the ruling DMK, alleging there was `jungle
rule` in the state devoid of law and order and also referred
to the 2 G spectrum scam and said it had lowered the state`s
Both Karunanidhi and Jayalalithaa are expected to campaign
for their party candidates till April 11.
While the DMK leadership is keen to reach out to the voters
on the populist schemes which it has impelemented in the past
five years, AIADMK will focus on issues such as 2G spectrum
scam, power cuts, soaring prices and illegal sand mining.
Both the leaders are using specially designed vehicles for
S Ramadoss of PMK and T Thirumavalavan (Viduthalai
Chiruthaigal Katchi), both DMK allies, and Actor Vijayakant,
Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam founder and constituent of
the AIADMK-led front, have also launched their respective
parties` campaign.
Unlike in the past when huge cut-outs of leaders used to
be erected in every nook and corner, there are hardly any this
time around following the Election Commission strict
regulations against grafitti and posters.


text: URGENT. Answer required by Thurs. 3/17. So I have all this stale (month-old) alpha-32P dCTP that I have to use because They consnabulated our nukes order. What happens to an alpha-32P-labelled nucleotide triphosphate when the 32P decides it's time to disintegrate? Does it blow completely to smithereens, leaving nothing to compete with the remaining 32P-dCTP in the labelling reaction, or does it leave some kind of mongrelized pyrophosphate with a nasty alpha-sulfate to bung up the works? In other words, can I still get high specific activity in my probe by simply adding extra 32P-dCTP to the labelling reaction and/or letting it run longer, or does the Klenow enzyme utilize the spent 32P-dCTP, giving a colder probe?

International communities must show solidarity with those rebelling against autocratic rule in the Middle East and North Africa because the tide is turning against the Arab Spring, said Nawal El Saadawi, an Egyptian political activist of more than four decades, in a conference call today organized by the Women's Media Center.
On difficulties in Egypt:
"The Hosni Mubarak men and the military are trying to abort the revolution. Since Jan. 25, there are gangs, who are attacking the revolutionary people."
Young men and women who visited me in my home "are angry with the military council, who established a council to revise the constitution with no women and no young men."
These young men and women "are secular, they are for women's rights, they are for a radical change of the constitution, item two that says Egypt is an Islamic state. The military doesn't want that, the external powers don't want that."
"The counter-revolution is great. But I am still optimistic and I am still hopeful because I lived with the young women and men who initiated the revolution and who slept in Tahrir Square in the cold, night after night and persisted until Mubarak resigned."
"It is a struggle and it is ongoing" and "the young people who carried out this revolution aren't naïve."
On aid:
"American aid to Egypt is disastrous. America should cut it. It doesn't go to the poor classes; it goes to the ruling class. America should not give aid to any country. We need equality not aid."

The WSDOT Cultural Resources Program maintains an inventory of historic Washington State bridges. All bridges built before 1971 have been evaluated for eligibility for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The NRHP Washington State Historic Highway Bridges (pdf 113 kb) table lists all bridges that have been recommended, nominated, determined eligible or listed on the NRHP. This list includes Interstate highway bridges and segments of highway containing bridges determined by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to be of exceptional national significance but not yet evaluated for NRHP eligibility. The Advisory Council of Historic Preservation's (ACHP) Section 106 Exemption Regarding Effects to the Interstate Highway System (2005) excludes the majority of Interstate Highway Features from consideration as a historic property under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). FHWA's List of Nationally and Exceptionally Significant Features of the Federal Interstate Highway System in Washington State are excluded from ACHP's Section 106 Exemption. At the request of FHWA, the ACHP issued a Program Comment that identifies common post 1945 concrete and steel bridges lacking distinction, not previously listed or determined eligible for listing on the National Register, and not located in or adjacent to historic districts that may be exempted from review under Section 106 of the NHPA. FHWA has published a list of Common Post-1945 Concrete and Steel Bridges in Washington of exceptional quality excluded from ACHP's Program Comment. The WSDOT Cultural Resources Program and Visual Engineering Resources Group (VERG) have produced video documentaries of several historic bridges in Washington State. Additional information and photos of these, and other historic bridges is available on the Library of Congress website: http://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/hh/.

U.S. Route 12 spanning Alpowa Creek - Silcott vicinity, Asotin County Built 1923This bridge was dedicated to Ta-Moot-Tsoo (Chief Timothy), a Nez Perce Indian (1800'1891) who was friendly with early settlers and was credited with saving the lives of Colonel Edward J. Steptoe's troops in 1858 after their defeat in the Battle of Tohotonimme, near Rosalia. The structure is a two-span, reinforced-concrete bridge similar in design to the "rainbow arch" popular in the Midwest in the 1910s and 1920s. This bridge has been listed in the NRHP. The original structure was preserved in place adjacent to SR 12 and the new replacement bridge. top
Also known as the Columbia River Interstate Bridge
Interstate 5 spanning the Columbia River - Vancouver, Clark County Built 1915'1917 (northbound) and 1956'1958 (southbound) Interstate 5 spanning the Columbia River - Vancouver, Clark County Built 1915'1917 (northbound) and 1956'1958 (southbound)
The original 1917 bridge represented an enormous financial and engineering accomplishment, shared by Washington and Oregon. It was designed by the renowned engineering firm of Waddell & Harrington, leaders in the field of vertical lift bridge design in the twentieth century. The 1958 bridge was built as a twin structure to the original. The piers of this bridge were assembled from hollow precast segments. The Northbound segment has been listed in the NRHP.top
Also known as the Lyons Ferry Bridge or the Old Columbia River Bridge at Vantage
State Route 261 spanning the Snake River - Columbia River Starbuck vicinity, Columbia County. Built 1927, moved 1968.This is the oldest extant steel cantilever bridge in Washington. The bridge was moved from Vantage, WA, in 1968 where it carried the North Central Highway. It is a good example of early twentieth-century cantilever bridge construction using carbon steel. This bridge has been listed in the NRHP.top
Also known as the Lewis & Clark Bridge or the Columbia River Bridge
State Route 433 spanning the Columbia River - Longview, Cowlitz County.Built 1930This bridge, designed by engineer Joseph B. Strauss, was at the time of its construction the longest cantilever span in North America with its 1200-foot central section. The requirement of extreme vertical and horizontal shipping channel clearances resulted in this imposing structure. This bridge has been listed in the NRHP.top
Also known as the Lewis River Bridge
State Route 503 spanning the Lewis River - Yale vicinity, Cowlitz CountyBuilt 1932, rebuilt 1957, 1958This bridge is the only steel short-span suspension bridge in the state. It was built economically using cost-saving materials and construction techniques. This bridge has been listed in the NRHP.top
State Route 17 spanning the Columbia River - Bridgeport vicinity, Douglas County. Built 1950This bridge is the only large-scale steel truss built in Washington immediately after World War II. Like the Columbia River Bridge at Grand Coulee Dam, it was constructed as part of a federally sponsored hydroelectric dam project. This bridge has been listed in the NRHP.top
Also known as the Simpson Avenue Bridge
Hoquiam River Bridge (WA-93) - (aka Simpson Avenue Bridge). U.S. Route 101 (Simpson Avenue) spanning the Hoquiam River Hoquiam, Grays Harbor County Built 1928The central span of this bridge is an example of a patented double-leaf Strauss underneath counterweight bascule structure. The Strauss Bascule Bridge Company was one of the most important bridge building firms in the United States during the early twentieth century. This bridge has been listed in the NRHP.top
U.S. Route 12 (Wishkah Street) spanning the Wishkah River Aberdeen, Grays Harbor County. Built 1924This structure is a classic example of a patented Strauss "heel-trunnion" bascule bridge. This bridge has been listed in the NRHP.top
Also known as the George Washington Memorial Bridge or the Lake Union Bridge
State Route 99 (Aurora Avenue) spanning the Lake Washington-Lake Union Ship Canal - Seattle, King CountyBuilt 1932Nearly 3000 feet long, this steel cantilever structure is one of Seattle's longest and tallest spans. It provided an important early crossing of the Lake Washington Ship Canal. This bridge has been listed in the NRHP.top
Also known as the Lake Washington Floating Bridge
Interstate 90 spanning Lake Washington - Seattle, King County Built 1940, sunk in 1990 during refurbishingSince construction, the bridge has been part of the major trunk route crossing the state and accessing Seattle from the east. This pontoon bridge was of unprecedented scale and sophistication and the first constructed of concrete. The concept for its construction was originally proposed by Homer M. Hadley, and designed by the Washington Toll Bridge Authority. The bridge was removed from the National Register of Historic Places when it sank. A replacement, new pontoon bridge using the original approaches was constructed; a second parallel floating structure, the Homer M. Hadley Bridge, was completed in 1989 to accommodate increasing traffic. Both bridges have been evaluated and determined eligible for listing in the NRHP.top
State Route 513 spanning the Lake Washington Ship Canal Seattle, King County Built 1925 View design drawing. This Seattle landmark is one of six bascule bridges based on a design derived from the Chicago bascule bridge type. This bridge is unique because of its trunnion supports, employed to avoid a patent infringement lawsuit by the Strauss Bascule Bridge Company, and its architectural treatment. This bridge has been listed in the NRHP.top
Interstate 90 passing under Mount Baker Ridge - Seattle, King County 1940s design, constructed in 1980s In the context of Western tunneling, this structure is remarkable for both the material it was driven through (clay) and the form it took (twin bore). The tunnel ranks as the world's largest diameter soft earth tunnel. The highly stylized treatment of the east portal demonstrates a Modernistic Architecture applied to an engineering structure. The original tunnel has been listed in the NRHP. An adjacent tunnel was completed in 1989 and has been determined eligible for listing in the NRHP. top
Interstate 90 - 5.5 miles southeast of Hyak, Kittitas CountyBuilt 1951- Scheduled to be DemolishedThis structure is the only concrete snowshed in Washington. The snowshed prevents snow slides from closing the route during the winter. Its construction involved the combination of both precast and cast-in-place elements. This structure has been listed in the NRHP.top
State Route 6 spanning the Chehalis River - Chehalis vicinity, Lewis County Built 1939This bridge is a riveted Warren through truss with verticals. top
State Route 508 spanning the South Fork of the Newaukum River, Onalaska vicinity, Lewis County Built 1930 This bridge is a good, virtually unaltered example of a riveted pony Warren truss with verticals. top
State Route 25 spanning the Spokane River Miles, Lincoln countyBuilt 1941This bridge was one of two steel cantilever spans that were constructed to replace structures flooded by the waters rising behind Grand Coulee Dam. This bridge has been listed in the NRHP.top
State Route 231 spanning the Spokane River - Reardan vicinity, Lincoln County Built 1949 The bridge is a late example of an open-spandrel reinforced-concrete ribbed deck arch. ConsidËre hinges were used at the skewbacks to relieve stresses in the arch during construction. This bridge has been listed in the NRHP.top
U.S. Route 101 spanning the Hamma Hamma River - Eldon, Mason County Built 1923 and 1924Two identical bridges spanning the north and south branches of the Hamma Hamma River are part of the main highway along the east side of the Olympic Peninsula. Each is a three-hinged reinforced-concrete through arch. This bridge has been listed in the NRHP.top
State Route 155 spanning the Columbia River - Coulee Dam, Okanogan County Built 1935 The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation constructed this structure as part of the Grand Coulee Dam'Columbia Basin Reclamation Project. It is a good example of 1930s steel cantilever bridge design in Washington. This bridge has been listed in the NRHP.top
Also known as the City Waterway Bridge (WA-100)and Thea Foss Waterway Bridge or the 11th Street Bridge
State Route 509 spanning the City Waterway - Tacoma, Pierce County Built 1913 View design drawingDesigned by Waddell and Harrington, this bridge is an early example of a vertical lift bridge. Three features make it remarkable among vertical lift structures of the day: the unusually great height of the deck above the water, the employment of an overhead span designed for carry a water pipe, and its construction on a variable grade. This bridge has been listed in the NRHP.top
Also known as the James R. O'Farrell Bridge or the Carbon River Bridge
State Route 165 spanning the Carbon River 2.8 mi. south of Carbonado, Pierce County - Built 1921 View design drawingThis structure is one of only two extant three-hinged steel arches in the state of Washington. Its 494-foot length consists of a 240-foot three-hinged spandrel braced rib deck arch, two 14-foot steel towers, and two timber trestle approach spans. All major structural components: the chords of the ribs, the posts of the towers, and the spandrel columns, are composite members employing extensive lattice work. This gives lightness to the structure and contributes to it fine visual quality. At the time of its construction it was the highest bridge in the state. This bridge has been listed in the NRHP.top
Also known as the Puyallup River Bridge
State Route 162 spanning the Puyallup River - McMillin, Pierce County Built 1934 View design drawing This structure is a rare example of a reinforced-concrete through truss bridge. The form of its members and details are unique. At the time of its construction it was thought to be the longest concrete truss or beam span in the country. The bridge was designed by Homer M. Hadley. This bridge has been listed in the NRHP.top
Also known as the Purdy Spit Bridge
State Route 302 spanning the strait between Henderson Bay and Burley Lagoon Purdy vicinity, Pierce County Built 1936An example of a reinforced-concrete box-girder bridge, rare in the United States, this bridge was the longest of its kind when built. Also a Homer Hadley designed structure. This bridge has been listed in the NRHP.top
For more than eight decades, the Meridian Street Bridge over the Puyallup River served as a portal for cities along the Puget Sound to the semi- rural, agricultural community of Puyallup, Washington.
Originally built in 1925 by Virginia native Maury M. Caldwell, the bridge was decommissioned in 2015 after a new bridge was built and opened to the traveling public. Prior to removal from its original location, the Puyallup River/Meridian Street Bridge was the longest (371 foot) riveted steel Warren through truss span built prior to 1940 remaining on the Washington State highway system. It is very likely unique, although similar to the "Turner Truss" patented in the 1920s. Its subdivided panels and the addition of longitudinal members at mid-panel heights in five truss panels achieved both strength and economy of steel.
This bridge is currently available for donation. Learn more at the SR 167 Puyallup River/Meridian Street Bridge webpage.top
State Route 16 spanning the Tacoma Narrows - Tacoma, Pierce County Built 1951 View design drawingTacoma Narrows Bridge History The Tacoma Narrows Bridge was the first suspension span constructed in the United States after its predecessor's failure in 1940 from wind-induced torsional oscillations. Research of design flaws in the first Tacoma Narrows Bridge led to the use of aerodynamic testing as a standard procedure in suspension span structural analysis. The remains of 'Galoppin Gertie' are listed in the NRHP. The 1950 replacement bridge has been determined eligible for inclusion in the NRHP. A new adjacent suspension bridge was completed in 2007. top
Also known as the Henry Thompson Bridge
State Route 20 spanning the Baker River - City of Concrete, Skagit County Built 1917The bridge, the only link between the two halves of the city of Concrete, is an early example of a reinforced-concrete open spandrel arch and was reputedly one of the longest single-span concrete structures in the West when built. The bridge is ornamented in a classical style. This bridge has been listed in the NRHP.top
State Route 20 spanning Deception Pass - Anacortes vicinity, Skagit County Built 1935This Deception Pass steel cantilever and the Canoe Pass steel arch are examples of advanced steel bridge construction. They provide motor vehicle and pedestrian access to Whidbey Island. This bridge has been listed in the NRHP.top
Kettle Falls vicinity, Stevens County - U.S. Route 395 spanning the Columbia River - Built 1941 This bridge was one of two steel cantilever spans built to replace structures flooded by the waters rising behind the Grand Coulee Dam. This bridge has been listed in the NRHP.top
Also known as the Manning Bridge or the Curtis Lowe Bridge
Spanning the Palouse River - Colfax vicinity, Whitman County Built 1922/1928This bridge is a rare example of a wooden boxed-in Howe truss. It was built by the Great Northern Railway when it acquired the Spokane & Inland Empire Railway and upgraded the electric interurban railway to a steam line for freight use, hence the need for the heavy-timbered structure. Now converted to vehicular use, the Harpole bridge in the only extant structure of its type in Washington, and perhaps one of the few remaining in the country. This bridge has been listed in the NRHP.top

Greuther Furth striker Gerald Asamoah is upbeat regarding his nation's future, and believes that the current squad have a very good chance of winning something and eclipsing Germany legends like Oliver Kahn.
The former Germany international collected over 40 caps for his country, scoring six goals in the process, and he is optimistic that Joachim Low's current side can deliver a trophy for the nation.
"The guys play really excellent football," admitted Asamoah, speaking exclusively to Goal.com.
"All the work will pay off and they will reach a title, which is what they are aiming for, of course. You can't be satisfied with always ending up second or third.
"It's clear that a nation like Germany needs to aim high. And I believe that they will succeed some day."
Germany's current crop of players are lauded as among the best squads in the world, and Asamoah believes that if they are left to play their game, they will reach their goal.
"It's about specific characters. Someone like [Mesut] Ozil doesn't have to shout on the pitch, he tries to play his game. You can't 'clone' guys like Effenberg or Kahn. Everyone is different, that's why we should let these guys do their thing.
"And I want to ask one question: what titles have Kahn or Effenberg ever won with the national team? Of course Kahn won a lot with Bayern [Munich], but with Germany we never got that far back then, although we were close.
"The guys now have got a good chance, they've got a good team, and I really believe they will reach a title," he said.

Not a damn clue, and I wasted 3 hours pouring over every kei model sold in Japan and verifying that the plate was actually Japanese and not Malay or Taiwan where the wierd cars like Proton and Geely get sold.
It REALLY brings to mind the Mazda Carol.

The lines at the rear door suggest the presence of some sort of detachable hatchback thingamajig.
A colleague of mine and I were looking at the thing just now, and we speculated that there'd be so much drag produced by that big void in the back, that it could actually pull the vehicle toward the fan in a wind tunnel test.
If that's so, it would have to be a first--purposely designing drag into the vehicle so as to contribute to the car's forward momentum.
