I sent a message that went to several Companies in SprIngfield as we were having a problem with one of the garage door openers at our new house. Overheard Door was the first to call, early the next morning and came that day to look at the opener. We ended up buying a new opener and they were back to install it the next day! And the Tech, Christopher E. went as far as moving us up on the schedule because of weather and the fact that I had to drive back to our other house an hour away. Can't say enough good things about the Customer Service and we have a new, Top Quality, Garage door opener to go with the service. And Christopher E. was very knowledgeable and courteous.read more

I hired Overhead Door to do a tune-up on my garage doors. I had a problem with one door squealing like crazy. Aaron was able to identify the problem right away and fix it with some new bearings. Also, the light in my other garage door opener has not worked for a long time. I thought the circuitry was messed up somehow. Aaron figured out that it was crud buildup where the light bulb screws into and scraped it out. Now the light works again. The company seems to have very professional and knowledgeable people.read more

Later that afternoon I was notified that Aaron was on his way.

Cannot express how happy I am with this company and its employees!read more

I had a main board go out on my 2006 era Legacy OHD lift. I called and verified that had the part in stock and promptly picked it up. They walked me through installation and troubleshooting. The board I bought was defective, but without hesitation they swapped it out for another and had me on my way. I reinstalled the new main board in 15 minutes and everything is working great. In fact all of my remotes seem to have better signal and connectivity since replacement of the main board. I highly recommend OHD of Springfield.read more

This is exactly how a business should run. Went to showroom, picked out doors, got a price immediately without the "Who are you?" "Do you know how much doors cost?" lines, or "We'll get back to you later." As a professional business it is expected that pricing for the products they sell should be readily available, and this was the case. Jason came out and handled measuring, very professional and highly recommended.read more

The spring and cables broke on my garage door. The first tech person finished 95% of the job, but since my door was very old, it was more complicated. A second, more experienced tech guy came out the next day and fixed it without any extra charge. Since I live 25 miles from Springfield, that was an extra blessing of not having to pay for a service call. Both men were friendly and explained how everything worked on the door. They arrived on time and were very professional in their demeanor. I would rate this company very highly as my door was fixed quickly and correctly by two well-trained and friendly technicians.read more

This site is dedicated to the range of video terminals produced by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) from 1970 to 1995. The most famous of these is the VT100, a name which is recognised most often today as a setting in terminal emulation programs.
The real video terminals dealt with here are dedicated devices which are connected to a computer (host) with a serial line. They usually consist of a screen and keyboard, with very little processing power and no local storage. Characters typed on the keyboard are transmitted to the host computer, and characters output from programs running on the host are sent to the terminal to be displayed on the screen. Why would we use devices this simple? Well, their simplicity makes them reliable. There is no operating system and no downloaded software, so they are pretty much impervious to user meddling and viruses. Before PCs put computing power on every desk, a central computer would support tens of users. Now that PCs are as powerful as old mainframes and can run capable multi-user operating systems (take a bow, Linux), there is a resurgence of interest in these low bandwidth, low cost and low maintenance devices.
I started this site in October 1998 as a place to put information that I had collected about the VT320 which I have been using for ten years. Although I've used various Digital terminals over the past decade, my favourite is the VT320, mainly because I've spent more time writing programs to take advantage of (and stretch) its capabilities than for any other in the range.
Frequently-asked questions about terminals and this site.

CERN, ESA, ESO and UNESCO in partnership with the Italian Institute of Astrophysics invite the public to Origins 2013, an exceptional event taking place simultaneously in Geneva, Paris and Bologna on European Researchers' Night, 27 September. People around the world are invited to follow the event live through a webcast to celebrate the achievements of particle physics and astrophysics. Together, these research areas address fundamental questions linked to our origins, from the origin of matter to the origin of the Universe itself.
Major scientific breakthroughs have been made in these fields in just the last year. CERN's Large Hadron Collider discovered a Higgs boson – one of the most fundamental particles of our Universe, predicted only by theory until now – while ESA's Planck space telescope produced the most precise picture of the cosmic microwave background, the relic radiation from the Big Bang.
Meanwhile, the ground-based Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) was inaugurated in Chile and is already providing unprecedented views of the cosmos.
Origins 2013 will showcase these fascinating scientific endeavours and more, highlighting the strong link between the subatomic world accessed only by particle physics to the unimaginably large Universe studied by astrophysicists.
European researchers working in these exciting fields will share their passion with the general public at three dedicated events held simultaneously at CERN in Geneva, UNESCO headquarters in Paris, and in the city centre of Bologna.
Guest speakers at the Paris event include Francois Englert, one of the theorists who predicted the Higgs particle, and François Bouchet, deputy principal investigator for Planck's HFI instrument. In Geneva, Nobel Laureate Sam Ting, Principal Investigator for the AMS-02 cosmic ray detector on the International Space Station, will join Fabiola Gianotti and Joe Incandela, the two physicists leading the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the moment of the Higgs discovery announcement. Giovanni Fabrizio Bignami, the president of Italy's National Institute for Astrophysics, will take to the stage in Bologna, together with Fernando Ferroni, INFN president and Marco Bersanelli, Deputy Principal Investigator for Planck's LFI instrument.
Visitors will be taken on a journey back in time, to learn more about the origins of the Universe from the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago. Guests at all three locations will also be able to register to meet the researchers through face-to-face 'speed dating' discussions.
"Origins 2013 gives us the chance to celebrate the achievements of European scientists who are changing our view of the Universe, and to share our excitement with a wider audience," said Mark McCaughrean, Head of the Research and Scientific Support Department of ESA, who will open the CERN event on Friday with Sergio Bertolucci, CERN's director for research, in a video conference connection with Paris, with Gretchen Kalonji, UNESCO's Assistant Director-General for Natural Sciences and Fernando Doblas, Head of ESA's Communications Department will open the event at UNESCO.
Videoconferences will link the three European cities to ESA's Planck's operations centre in Darmstadt, Germany, with Nazzareno Mandolesi, Principal Investigator for Planck's LFI instrument, and to remote venues, such as ESO's ALMA telescope site in Chile, to the Large Hadron Collider tunnel, 100 m underground, and to Luca Parmitano, ESA's astronaut on the International Space Station.
Many researchers from partner institutes will also join the local and Internet audiences during the live webcast.
Participation in the speed-dating and live webcast at CERN is by reservation via the Origins website.

It's pretty hard to argue against a classic air-cooled Porsche 911. Its distinctive good looks, fascinating history, Germanic toughness and performance make it a great buy, no matter what year it's from.
So what would be better than getting a classic 911 wallpaper at the end of your long, difficult Saturday? What would you say if I had one a wallpaper photo shot at night and had all kinds of crazy, streaky neon lights all over the car? You'd be like, heck yeah, Patrick, that's way better. Duh.
Well, here it is, and it's even more awesome than I described. I feel like this image should have been a poster on my wall as a kid. It certainly looks poster-worthy.
As always, super Jalopnik bonus points to the person who can tell me what year and model the 911 is in the photo. Put on your thinking pants, Porsche-philes!

Roses are red. Tacos are enjoyable. Don't blame immigrants, because you're unemployable.
T-11 Flaccid Paraplegic due to TM July 1985 @ age 12
I am rather familiar with the work of Brian Kwon on biomarkers, but I was hoping I was missing something about chronic SCI & biomarkers, so far it does not seem the case.
For the abstract often presentations are based on a publication, when that is the case you just need to copy and paste it.
Science is not easy to communicate, so you can't expect people get everithing right, but I see margins for improvements.

In God we trust; all others bring data. - Edwards Deming
I attended Friday and half of Saturday, with the expectation to hear how the industry is progressing to a cure. I went home Friday evening depressed at my perceived view that the science community was splintered and without a single pathway to get all that brainpower pointed to a CURE. Saturday morning we heard Dr. Young followed by Rachell Freidman and after speaking to her at the break I just knew that before I left I needed to ask why there was no collaboration between the scientific communities and universities including those of us that want to walk again. I had to leave early to attend a funeral but hope that the collaboration conversation continued. We just want a cure.
No one single pathway will cure SCI. It will take a LOT of different things to deal with multiple issues about SCI. We must figure out what all the pieces of the puzzle are before we can start putting them together.
If we can use quantum computer and load all research results...
Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary
to what we know about nature

Cruises for Singles and Solo Travelers
Cruising is the most enjoyable and convenient way to see the world, and every year, Vacations To Go hosts more singles and helps more solo cruisers than any other company. Whether you are looking for a fun-loving group or merely trying to find the lowest possible price for a solo traveler, you've come to the right place.Hosted Singles Cruises
Every year, we select over 15 fabulous itineraries in different regions of the world, on outstanding cruise ships, and negotiate an extremely low rate for our single and solo travelers. We send trained hosts from our headquarters to organize get-togethers, cocktail parties, dinner seating and more, allowing individuals or friends to travel as part of a large and fun-loving group of singles.
To read more about our Hosted Singles Cruises in the coming year, click here.
The Vacations To Go Hosted Singles Department is open Monday through Friday, 8am to 7pm, and Saturday and Sunday, 9am to 6pm, CST. Please call 800-419-5179.Cruises with a Low (or No) Single Supplement
If you are not looking for a Hosted Singles Cruise but still want the lowest possible rate to cruise as a single, we can help with that too!
Cruise lines generally charge a "single supplement" to passengers traveling solo. From the cruise line's perspective, what they are selling is cabin space, and if there are two or more people in a cabin, they split the cost of that space. People traveling alone pay for all the space by themselves.
Most cruise lines start with the per-person rate based on double occupancy and add 50-100% to the price for a single. That means that a cabin that sells for $1,000 per person based on double occupancy would be sold to a single for $1,500 to $2,000.
At Vacations To Go, we're sympathetic to our single customers' desires for a great price. We've scoured more than 25,000 departures to identify and secure the lowest single supplements for our customers, down to and including great cabins that can be reserved by our single customers with no supplement at all.

I work on a Windows/Mac cross platform application that is sometimes downloaded from web sites. It is sometimes re-branded by and sold by third parties.
I'm the 'windows guy', my Mac counterpart is on vacation.
I'm getting some questions from a customers about what the Mac user experience will be if we sign the Mac installer with an Apple Developer certificate in our build system with our company name. For some reason this customer doesn't want to sign the app themselves, but doesn't want our company name to pop up in front of the user.
Assuming the user's OS 10.8 Gatekeeper is set to allow downloads from both the Apple App Store and from 'identified developers', does the user see any warning dialog that provides certificate information similar to he Windows User Access Control prompts?
In my tests it looks like internet downloaded Apple signed apps are just trusted by OS10.8, and will run without anything resembling a Windows UAC prompt. The user experience seems to be:
1) Download application from internet signed by an 'Apple identified developer'.
2) Click the application on web browser download list or using finder.
3) Application installer runs with no warning or caution dialogs.
Is this correct?
Also, is there some way on OS10.8 for the user to view in human readable form the 'identified developer' certificate information of a signed file?

Long-term extension remains Kipnis' goal
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- All-Star second baseman Jason Kipnis has maintained that he is open to exploring a long-term contract with the Indians. That remains the case, and Kipnis is hoping to revisit such talks with Cleveland later this spring.
Kipnis was at the Tribe's Spring Training complex on Tuesday and said he is examining two situations while considering his future. Left fielder Michael Brantley reached an agreement Monday night on a four-year contract extension with the Indians that covers three arbitration years and one year of free agency. Reliever Vinnie Pestano went to arbitration with Cleveland on Friday and lost his case.
"Both things kind of hit home," Kipnis said. "You have Brantley, who's signing a deal, and you have Vinnie, who went to arbitration and lost. I got to kind of see both ends of the spectrum right there, and the ups and downs of both sides. I got to kind of sit back and watch through their situations and learn from it.
"I'll ask them questions about the process, on how it went, and kind of make my own judgement from there."
Kipnis, 26, made the American League All-Star team for the first time last season and finished the season hitting .284 with 17 home runs, 36 doubles, 84 RBIs, 30 stolen bases and 86 runs scored in 149 games for the Tribe. He will become eligible for arbitration for the first time next offseason, making him a prime candidate for an extension.
Cleveland has not officially announced Brantley's contract, which is valued at $25 million in guaranteed salary and includes an $11 million club option for 2018, and the club is also going through the arbitration process with pitchers Justin Masterson and Josh Tomlin. Once those situations are resolved, Kipnis believes it might be time to re-open extension talks.
"Why would I not listen?" Kipnis said. "Yeah, I'm open to hearing what they have to say or what they have to offer. It'd be stupid not to. I know they've got some arbitration cases to finish right now. I think once everyone's done with that and spring starts flowing along, we'll start talking again. Of course I'll listen."
Kipnis was thrilled for his friend Brantley.
"It's not official yet, but I'm happy for him," Kipnis said. "He's a good guy. There's some down sides to business. There's always some bad parts, but there are some good things, too. I'm happy to see him get a little pay day and get some money for his family."

Q&A: Sarin nerve agent
The United States say it has evidence that Syrian government forces used the chemical agent sarin in attacks on the outskirts of Damascus last month. BBC News looks at what it is and when it has been used.
What is sarin?
Sarin is one of several substances called nerve agents, with others including VX, tabun and soman.
Sarin is a clear, colourless and tasteless liquid which quickly turns to vapour.
Nerve agents are extremely deadly - much more so than strong poisons such as cyanide.
Amounts small enough to fit on a pinhead can prove fatal in under two minutes.
Death usually occurs within a quarter of an hour of exposure to its vaporous form. Exposure can also occur if the skin is exposed to the agent in liquid form.
Someone who has been exposed to sarin can develop an array of symptoms, including: a runny nose; drooling; painful watery eyes and blurred vision; breathing problems; nausea, vomiting; diarrhoea; and convulsions.
In extreme cases, convulsions and respiratory failure are followed by death.
There are antidotes to sarin - atropine and pralidoxime - but these must be administered immediately to be effective.
The victim should be taken to a safe area and all of their clothes removed to avoid further contamination. Their eyes should be flushed out with water and their skin and hair cleaned with an absorbent powder such as talcum or flour or, failing that, soapy water. Showering should be avoided as this may spread the agent.
Medical staff must take care to protect themselves by wearing gloves, a mask and goggles if possible.
When has it been used?
Sarin was invented in Germany in the 1930s but was not used in combat during World War II.
After the war most major powers developed nerve gas, with the British inventing another kind, VX.
Sarin was among the agents used by the Iraqi government when it killed 5,000 Iraqi Kurds in Halabja in 1988.
Perforated bags of liquid sarin were left in the Tokyo underground in the 1995 attack by the Japanese Aum Shinrikyo cult. Twelve people died.
US Secretary of State John Kerry said samples from hair and blood gathered after the 21 August attack on the outskirts of Damascus "tested positive for signatures of sarin".
The US has previously spoken of similar evidence of sarin use in other attacks in the conflict in Syria.
How would Syria have acquired sarin?
Syria is believed to have started producing sarin in the 1980s.
US officials claimed Syria started converting several pesticide plants to the production of sarin in 1988, according to a Defence and Foreign Affairs report.

NEW YORK — An advertising campaign that says the mouthwash Listerine is as effective as floss at fighting tooth and gum decay is false and misleading and poses a public health risk, a judge has ruled.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
U.S. District Judge Denny Chin said in a decision made public Friday that he will order Pfizer, the maker of Listerine, to stop the advertising campaign. The lawsuit was brought by a Johnson & Johnson company that makes dental floss.
"Dentists and hygienists have been telling their patients for decades to floss daily," Chin wrote. "They have been doing so for good reason. The benefits of flossing are real — they are not a 'myth.' Pfizer's implicit message that Listerine can replace floss is false and misleading."
The judge ruled after McNeil-PPC Inc., a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary, filed a lawsuit saying that false claims in the advertising campaign that began last June posed an unfair threat against its sales of dental floss.
Flossing reduces tooth decay
Pfizer in print ads had featured a Listerine bottle balanced equally on a scale opposite a floss container with the words: "Listerine antiseptic is clinically proven to be as effective as floss at reducing plaque and gingivitis between the teeth."
The campaign also featured a television commercial titled the "Big Bang." In it, the commercial announces that Listerine is as effective as floss and that clinical tests prove it, though it does add that there is no replacement for flossing.
The judge said "substantial evidence" demonstrates that flossing is important in reducing tooth decay and gum disease and that it cannot be replaced by rinsing with a mouthwash.
The judge also noted that the authors of articles on which Pfizer based its ad campaign had emphasized that dental professionals should continue to recommend daily flossing and cautioned that they were not suggesting that mouthrinse be used instead of floss.
Messages left with Pfizer and McNeil-PPC on Friday were not immediately returned.

New Group for Big Cocked Studs
Forum Erotici Varie Altri argomenti
We think it would be great to create a new group, maybe called "Big Cocks Only" for guys to join only if they are bigger than 81/2" - 9" where they prove their "size" by their own "real" photos. This group would then have all the well hung guys on this site or to join this site to service or be contacted by couples or females on this site.
That way you know when you look at this group you only find really well hung guys! We could even rate them by "size"!
What do you think - shall we start a group?
what about us chicks that dig the smaller size guys. dont really like the felling of a monster cock they are over rated to me. the couple ive had didnt know what they was doing with it any ways. best fuck ive had was from a guy with maybe 6 inches

....And Now He's Giving a
LIMITED NUMBER Of People A One-Time Chance To
Own The Most Respected Lotto System Ever Developed
Before He Takes It Off The Market….
: Glen Hooke, IT Engineer
The Most Important Day Of Your Life
Dear Friend,
If you've always imagined what would be like to have the FORTUNE of WINNING THE
... Then this may be the most important letter you'll ever read.
You're about to find out the amazing method I've used to
WIN $425,576 in the last 10
Even better, I'll give you the perfect weapon to "rob" the lotteries vaults -- by using
the secret formula of an MIT professor.
But before I get to that, let me just share with you some of the wonderful results that our
"students" have been having from using our "weapon":
I have a confession to make ...
I had an obsession with winning big at lotto.
I tried hundreds of methods hoping that maybe... just maybe... it will happen for me:
- lucky numbers from every member of my family...
- lines and diagonals that looked good on paper...
- putting all the numbers on small pieces of paper and extracting them
from a hat.
- birthday dates for all my family members
- trying to "dream" numbers at night so I could envision the lucky ticket...
and that was only the beginning...
Needless to say, every time I was watching on TV the actual draw of the numbers ... all
my hopes were smashed down... with every single number.
So 11 years ago, after throwing over $28,000 down the toilet, I
decided to stop
playing lotto once and for all....
Luckily, I met Professor R, a Math Statistics
the prestigious MIT University..... and my whole world
The way it happened was freakish really.
We were sitting next to each other at a bar one night.
The TV was on in the bar, and the lotto draw came on.
I pulled out my lotto tickets as usual and started to
check off my numbers as they were drawn.
At the same time I noticed this guy sitting near me pull out a note book, and his lotto
tickets and he started checking of his numbers as well.
As usual, when the draw was over, I was unhappy because I got just one number. But
when I glanced across at this other guy, he has this big grin on his face. Now I just
couldn't resist asking him what he'd won (because I knew he'd won something)
I was stunned when he told me that he'd hit 5 numbers out of 6 in one game, and I asked
him how much he won...
To my shock he said he hadn't actually 'played' those numbers in a real game. In fact he
said he was just monitoring the numbers as a hobby.
Can you believe it!
Anyway, I started asking questions, and an hour later, I had found out that he was a well
respected Professor at a nearby University and that the he has
discovered a formula for
choosing lotto numbers that will win 8 out of 10 times
I was stunned (and very skeptical) at the same time, because I just didn't believe it was possible.
his arm, and practically
him for countless weeks after that meeting,
he agreed to let me independently "field-test" his formula and methods...in real life.
To make a long story short, I used my IT expertise to develop a unique step-by-step
software using the professors exact methods and formulas that he had compiled
over the last 27 years of analyzing more that 150 lotto games from just about every
country in the world..
Now, programming 27 years worth of lotto numbers data and designing complex
numerical algorithms, took 3 programmers 17 months to complete, and when it was
done, the professor agreed to allow my software to be shared with a randomly selected
group of other people, just to see what the results would be.....
That was over 10 years ago.
Since then, the results of the professors systems and formulas which have been built into
this powerful software are
regularly and consistently
delivering, results (and cash in the
pockets) of the system users.
The results you see below are from just a few users of this powerful software. And
they need no more comments...
I don't want to get into too many details
about how powerful this software is...
All that is
really important
to you are these facts
It Works
The formulas used to make
the software were discovered by Professor
R., the MIT statistical genius...
and it's taken more than 27
years to perfect!
-- Moreover, you've seen the kind of
success stories it generated for me and for
other people, all over the world. --
You Can Use It For The Lotto Game In YOUR Country
In fact, it works for more than 300 of the major lottery game world-wide....
All the 5 ball games 6 ball games, (these are the games with the best winning odds
and most prize money to be won) - You can even play 7 ball games (although these
are really tough to win because the win percentages are astronomical).
(By the way I highly recommend you forget about playing 3 and 4 ball games. They are a total
waste of your money with regard to winning % odds)
You WILL Know How To Use The Software.
There are only 2 requirements:
You need to know basic English. Check!
You need to know how to point and click with your mouse. Check!
In Fact, Why Don't I Just Quickly Show You How Easy It Is
To Use The 'Formula 1 Lotto Winning System'...

"Why You Won't Find A Lotto Winning Software Like This
Else On Earth?"
'Formula 1 Lotto Winning System
' is the only software that
uses the exact and
fool-proof algorithm of Professor R.
And remember.
..it's taken him 27 years of tireless work to perfect this process
Before I started using his system (with this software), I'd tried countless methods on the
I've read books, I tried other software, I even played a bit with paranormal methods
would you believe... but nothing gave me any positive result.
Using Professor R. algorithm,
I was able to go from rags to riches, winning more
than $425,000 in the last 10 years...
thousands of people
that used the same software, have won big time playing their favorite lotto games.
Moreover, most of them admitted that they had a hard time winning anything before
using our software. Only some small pocket change that barely covered just a small part of the ticket costs.
"I have ONE
to make..."
Warning: It's important that you know this!
Some people that used this software emailed me like crazy in order to
me from
selling this software.
Some of them even tried to bribe me.
That's just one part of it...
The truth is that... (I have to admit this to you...), in the beginning I didn't even want to
hear about "sharing" this system with other people...
However, Professor R. told me that he would
give me his method if I also agreed to offer his method to other people as well.
At first, I thought that other people using this method will make it less powerful. But then
I realized that millions (maybe tens of millions) of people play lotto all over the planet.
It doesn't really matter if a couple of hundred lucky people get to use his method that
we've used with tremendous success.
That's why, I'm
even happy now
to share some of the good fortune that I had during the past years, because I get to hear about the successes of others.
I mean....
....You've met Megan Larrison
who made $25,548 (USD) playing 29 games so far
....You've met Justin Clark
who filled his pockets with $17,398 (USD) in the last 6 months, playing just one ticket every week
....You've met 34-year-old woman Jane Steven
who won $43,546 and managed to change her life for good!s
....You've met Marc Bradley, a middle-age manager that
has won $157,000 last year only
...and finally bought a new house.
....You've met Alan C who
won a big JACKPOT--$
2.5 million
Australian dollar
... You've met Anthony Stewart a young man from London that has
made a living from playing Lotto, and is making $2,000 every month
Almost all of these people had a pretty average life,
before they got our step-by-
step software and system to change their luck once and for all...
It's good to know that most of them were 'regular' people who just wanted a better life for
themselves and for their loved ones...
It's a total win-win for you!

FREE Super Bonus #1:
Formula 1 Lotto System Win Predictor (valued at $57)
I immediately jumped ahead and implemented the formula straight away and named this software the
'Formula 1 Lotto System Win Predictor'
Picture this: you use your Formula 1 Lotto
Winning System to calculate your lucky
numbers. But before you run and put actual
money into buying tickets, you use this magic
piece of software to

It's like having the ability to predict the weather
months in advance.
This makes winning lotto as stealing candy
from a baby... It's impossible to miss...
And by using the 'Formula 1 Lotto System'
software with this software, I estimate that
you are able to increase your odds to 9.0
winners out of 10 tickets played.
Here's screenshot of exactly what the 'Win Predictor' software look like :
You can see, for the numbers we entered for the 'PowerBall' game above, what chances we
have for the numbers we selected will give us a win.
Take a look at the numbers in game '6'...it looks like we've got a good strong 'Green' 'YES' to go
signal for those numbers. But the numbers we entered in games '3' and '4' aren't good.
Can you see the power of having access to the this software?
It's just amazing what it can do. And the only people who can get access to the 'Win Predictor'
software are are users of the 'Formula 1 Lotto System'

FREE Super Bonus #2:
Your own Customized and Personalized Max. Chance system for
US Powerball 1/69 - 1-26
($87.00 Value yours FREE)
.A few months ago, Professor R. discovered
the latest pattern to cracking the US Powerball.
The usual odds of anyone winning the big prize
at Powerball are approximately 1 in 292,301,388
Using Formula 1 Lotto System, although you
have 8 out of 10 chances of winning at lotto,
the odds to win the ultimate prize are still pretty
low: about 1 in 455,413....
But, with his latest discovery, Professor X.is
going to make available special number
profiles made using this new special computation that will give you a 1in 14920 chance.
(Yes...that's a 1 in 14920 chance for the
ultimate lottery prize)
I don't know how lucky you are feeling... but 1 in 14920 are phenomenal odds in YOUR favor when you consider that most players have only a 1in 292,301,388 chance.
I repeat: That means 1 in 14920 chances of winning the BIG ULTRA LOTTO PRIZE....
It's like having the ability to predict the weather months in advance.
This makes winning lotto as stealing candy from a baby... It's impossible to miss...
And by using the 'Formula 1 Lotto System' software with these customized PowerPlay number
profiles, I estimate that you are able to increase your odds to 9.0 winners out of 10 tickets
NOTE: Your FREE Personlaized Customized profiles are only available for the US Powerball
Game, and no other game.
Here's what Professor R will do for you:
When you order the Formula 1 Lotto System, he will use the power of his own computer
system and this incredible new computation algorithm he has designed, and compile for
you your own set of unique numbers for US Powerball 1/69 - 1-26 game.
Each game will have number profiles that are specifically for you....and you only. No
one else will ever have the number profiles you get.
The Professor will design enough unique number profiles for you to
play 165 games
of US
Powerball 1/69 - 1/26.
Here is a sample of how your customized PowerPlay profiles will look...
.(by the
way......please don't use any of the numbers in the profiles below. They are dummy numbers,
so you'll be wasting your time)
The Professor only has limited resources and limited time to be able to do these personalized
number profiles for you.
In fact there's a big chances that I will
remove this bonus without notice
very soon.
The decision is not yet made, but I think this discovery is really too important, to be released to
too many people. (Maybe some secrets are meant to be "owned" only by very few...)
Nevertheless.... with the personalized numbers the Professor will do for you, it will give you
the best chance you will ever have of winning the maximum prize in US Powerball 1/69 - 1-
But you need to get in quickly for this one!
** The above numbers are DUMMY numbers **

Authorities follow leads in poaching case of cow moose and two calves
Grand County, CO Colorado
Authorities are following leads in the shooting of three moose — one cow and two calves — that took place Wednesday, Nov. 14, between 8 and 10 a.m. in an empty lot within Mountain Shadow Estates.
Officials are investigating a vehicle description and some "potential individuals," said District Wildlife Manager Scott Murdoch about the incident that occurred in the subdivision located on County Road 6421 between Granby and Grand Lake.
"Several individuals in the community have stepped up [and offered information]," Murdoch said.
A witness told officials that he heard several shots fired in rapid succession and then, upon investigation of the location of the shots, found the cow and a calf dead and the second calf dying. He reported that no one immediately approached the carcasses to claim responsibility.
The meat from the moose was donated to several local individuals as well as a food bank in Colorado Springs.
Individuals who illegally kill a big game animal and abandon the carcass face a permanent loss of their hunting and fishing privileges, significant fines, felony charges, and a possible prison sentence.
Operation Game Thief, a Colorado Parks and Wildlife program that pays rewards to citizens who turn in poachers, is offering a $2,500 reward for information that leads to the suspect. And officials from Safari Club International have offered to match the reward offered by Operation Game Thief, bringing the total reward to $5,000 with additional money to be contributed by the homeowners association of Mountain Shadows Estates.
"Anytime we can get more folks involved we will," Murdoch said. "We rely on the public's input to aid us in our investigations."
Poaching continues to be a concern for wildlife officials. Officials ask that the public be reminded that poachers are criminals who take away opportunity from legal and responsible hunters, and steal wildlife from the citizens of the state.
Anyone who sees suspicious activity or who has information regarding ongoing investigations should contact a local district wildlife manager, or call Operation Game Thief toll-free at 877-COLO-OGT (877-265-6648). Callers contacting the tip line remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward if the information leads to a citation. Tips can also be emailed to email@example.com.

NEW YORK — If you don't like coffee or tea, Mountain Dew has a new breakfast drink that might perk you up.
PepsiCo Inc. is rolling out a new drink called Kickstart this month that has Mountain Dew flavor but is made with 5 percent juice and Vitamins B and C, along with an extra jolt of caffeine.
The company, based in Purchase, N.Y., is hoping to boost sales by reaching Mountain Dew fans at a new time of day: morning.
PepsiCo said it doesn't consider Kickstart to be an energy drink, noting that it still has far less caffeine than drinks like Monster and Red Bull and none of the mysterious ingredients that have raised concerns among lawmakers and consumer advocates.
But Kickstart, which comes in flavors such as ''energizing orange citrus'' and ''energizing fruit punch,'' could nevertheless give the company a side door into the fast-growing energy drink market without getting tangled in any of its controversies. The drink comes in 16-ounce cans, as do popular energy drinks made by Monster Beverage Corp., which also offers options with juice content. And the TV ad features young men skateboarding, reminiscent of the marketing themes used by energy drink makers.
Simon Lowden, chief marketing officer for PepsiCo's Americas beverages, says the idea for Kickstart came about after the company learned through consumer research that Mountain Dew fans were looking for an alternative to traditional morning drinks such as coffee, tea, and juice. ''They didn't really see anything that fit their needs,'' he said.
PepsiCo says Kickstart, which is carbonated, is also not a soda because its 5 percent juice content qualifies it to be considered a ''juice drink'' under guidelines set by the Food and Drug Administration. A spokeswoman for the FDA said the agency doesn't have definitions for what qualifies as a soda or an energy drink.
With the growth of energy drinks such as Monster and Red Bull expected to slow, Kickstart could also signal the emergence of a new category that plays off the promise of energy and other health benefits, said John Sicher, publisher of the trade journal Beverage Digest.
In a nod to the growing concerns about sugary drinks, for example, Kickstart also uses artificial sweeteners to reduce its caloric content to about half that of regular soda; a can has 80 calories.
The promise of ''energy'' has been a big seller in the beverage industry, with the energy drink market increasing 17 percent in 2011 even as broader soft drink consumption has continued to decline, according to Beverage Digest.
But the surging popularity of energy drinks has also led to sharper scrutiny. This summer, New York's attorney general launched an investigation into the marketing prices of energy drink makers including Monster and PepsiCo, which also makes Amp. Lawmakers and consumer advocacy groups have also called on the FDA to investigate the safety of the high levels of caffeine in energy drinks for younger people.
Although Kickstart may look like an energy drink, it has far less caffeine, at 92 milligrams for a 16-ounce can.

Congress's war crimes power at issue
After pondering the issue for more than a month, the D.C. Circuit Court voted on Tuesday to review anew Congress's power to create new war crimes that apply to alleged terrorist acts that occurred even before those laws were enacted. In ordering en banc review in the case of a Yemeni national held at Guantanamo Bay, the Circuit Court nullified a Circuit panel decision in January overturning three war crimes convictions of that individual.
The coming decision by the seven-judge Circuit Court almost certainly will be appealed to the Supreme Court, by whoever loses at the Circuit Court, and that could lead to a major new ruling on the powers of the special military commissions that have had a troubled seven-year history at the U.S. military prison on the island of Cuba.
The rehearing order came in the case of Ali Hamza Ahmad Suliman al Bahlul, who has been described by military prosecutors as a propagandist for the late terrorist leader, Osama bin Laden. He was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted by a military tribunal of providing material support to terrorists, conspiracy to commit terrorist acts, and soliciting others to do so.
Although the en banc Circuit Court will be reviewing the government case involving Bahlul, the actual target of its review will be a decision by a different panel of the Circuit Court last October, in the case of another Yemeni national — Salim Ahmed Hamdan, often described by prosecutors as a driver for Osama bin Laden. It was in overturning Hamdan's conviction on a "material support" charge that the Circuit Court narrowed the powers of military commissions to try crimes that did not exist in U.S. or international law at the time of the conduct charged as criminal. It was on the basis of that ruling that the Circuit Court wiped out Bahlul's convictions, leading the Obama administration to ask for en banc review in early March.
In ordering further review of Congress's power to define war crimes, the Circuit Court told lawyers not only to brief and argue the issues that had been decided by the Hamdan panel, but also two new issues.
One of those issues is whether the detainees at Guantanamo Bay are protected by the Constitution's Ex Post Facto Clause, which generally bars prosecuting someone for a crime when the act was not a crime at the time it occurred. When the Circuit panel cut back on military commission powers in the Hamdan case, it said it was doing so explicitly to avoid confronting that Clause's application to those at Guantanamo. If the Clause does not apply to those detainees, that would undercut some of the reasoning of the Hamdan panel.
The second question assumes that the Hamdan panel was right in concluding that Congress can only make war crimes out of conduct that violated the international law of war, and then asks whether the crime of conspiracy allegedly committed by Bahlul did violate international law concept at the time of his conduct. The Hamdan panel found that it was not such a violation at the time.
The order set a brief schedule, starting on May 24 and with all the filings due by August 8. The Court set a hearing date for Monday, September 30.
The order calling for further review was something of a surprise. The Court, because of vacancies, now has only seven judges. Three judges tend to vote along liberal lines, one follows a path close to the middle, and three are conservatives. One of the conservatives, however, was the author of the Hamdan panel decision — Circuit Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh.
It took the votes of at least four of the seven judges to grant en banc review. The order did not reveal how each judge voted, noting only that a majority had supported the move. In all likelihood, the voting did not fall along ideological lines, but on whether the issues were sufficiently important that the full court should address them rather than leaving the issue where it stood after the three-judge panel had decided it in the Hamdan case.
With the hearing set for the end to September, it probably will be well into the following year before a final decision emerged. Once that decision is reached, the losing side will have ninety days to seek Supreme Court review.

In loop quantum gravity, the canonical (Ashtekar) variables are chosen to be the densitized inverse triad $\mathbf{E}$ and some rotation connection field $\mathbf{A}$. To get the ordinary triad from $\mathbf{E}$, we need to take its "square root". But we know as long as the volume factor, i.e. the square root of the determinant of $\mathbf{E}$ is nonzero, we always have two solutions for the triad. They are related by a branch cut around $|\mathbf{E}| = 0$. We also know that if this determinant is negative, the corresponding triad will be imaginary! OK, you might now say there's no problem as long as we stick to solutions where $|\mathbf{E}|$ is always positive everywhere.
But here is where another problem comes in. The state about which loop quantum gravity expansions are made is the state where $\mathbf{E}=0$ everywhere. Excitations over this state by Wilson loops contain wavefunctional components with negative determinants as frequently as we have components with positive determinants. Does that mean loop quantum gravity predicts imaginary distances, negative areas and imaginary volumes? And besides, aren't we expanding about a highly irregular solution?
Another related question is: People sometimes multiply the Hamiltonian constraint by the factor $\sqrt{| \mathbf{E} |}$, but this goes to zero whenever $| \mathbf{E} | = 0$, which actually weakens the constraints by introducing additional solutions which were previously forbidden. Is such a procedure really justified?

The Origin Of The Word 'Radio' -- Scientists originally used the prefix 'radio' to refer to the electromagnetic radiation used in innovations like radio-telegraphy, a way of sending messages without wires, cables and poles.
