Details of Kevin James and the Ticket Luck value
Kevin James
Kevin James was born on April 26, 1965. Kevin James is a well known American comedian and Emmy Award-nominated actor. James is well known for his portrayal of lead character Doug Heffernan on the TV sitcom, The King of Queens.
James was first known as Kevin George Knipfing, which was his named at birth. He is the son of Janet, a homemaker, and Joseph Valentine Knipfing, who had his own an insurance company. Kevin James was brought up in the "S-Section" of Stony Brook, New York. He graduated from Ward Melville High School in 1983.
James has two siblings, Gary Joseph Knipfing and Leslie Knipfing. Gary Joseph Knipfing is known as Gary Valentine, and is a comedian. Leslie Knipfing works under James, and helps him to raise money through charity events.
In 2001, James did his own stand up special called Kevin James: Sweat the Small Stuff for Comedy Central. A close friend of Ray Romano, James guest-starred on a few episodes of the hit television show Everybody Loves Raymond. James was cast as the lead character, Doug Heffernan.
Leah Remini was cast as his sharp-tongued wife Carrie while Jerry Stiller was cast in the supporting role of Carrie's semi-psychotic father, Arthur Spooner, who lives in the Heffernans' basement. In 2006, Kevin James received his first Emmy Award nomination, as Outstanding Lead Actor in a television series.
James began doing stand-up comedy, gaining popularity through numerous appearances on various talk shows, including Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Dennis Miller Live, The Late Late Show, The Rosie O'Donnell Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Live with Regis and Kelly.
James was #89 on Comedy Central's list of the 100 Greatest Stand-Up Comedians. James has also done his stand-up routine on Just for Laughs, an annual comedy festival in Montreal.
As a stand-up comedian and actor, Kevin James built a dual career out of his own homegrown reality. With a tall, burly build and innate likeability, James planted his roots firmly in performing at a young age.
Based upon his Long Island life and upbringing, James" material soon hit a familiar chord with working class viewers who stayed with his lengthy CBS series "The King of Queens" (1998-2007) for the long haul.
James made his film debut in the 2005 romantic comedy, Hitch, alongside Will Smith and Eva Mendes. In 2006, James starred with old friend Ray Romano in the comedy Grilled and voiced a character in the animated hit Barnyard. James also voiced a character in the 2006 movie Monster House.
In 2007, he starred opposite Adam Sandler in the comedy film I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, and made a cameo in Sandler's 2008 film You Don't Mess with the Zohan. In March of 2008, he was spotted in Braintree, Massachusetts filming for the film Mall Cop.
James enjoyed a quiet childhood, developing into a serious athlete as he got older. Attending Ward Melville High School, he wrestled on the school team alongside future WWF wrestler Mick Foley before becoming a football running back in his senior year. After his 1983 graduation, he headed upstate to study sports management and play football as a fullback at the State University of New York at Cortland.
Several credits shy of graduation, a disinterested James dropped out of college and spent his summer of 1986 looking for a life beyond sports - initially finding work painting houses, selling gym memberships and finally as a personal trainer. After performing all across Long Island, he was prompted to officially adopt James as his surname, while his brother became Gary Valentine.
In 1989, James segued into stand-up comedy, making his comedy debut at the East Side Comedy Club and garnering a wildly enthusiastic reception that was nowhere to be found in his second performance a night later.
James took a regular gig working at a warehouse that stocked industrial equipment and began crafting a comedy act in the multitude of local clubs available to the Long Island scene, as well as in New York City.
The movie made use of James" everyman persona and honed comic verbiage, but also tapped into his gift for physical comedy; no small feat, opposite Smith. Nevertheless, James still managed to snatch a bit of the A-lister"s comedic thunder.
Awaiting the release of another summer comedy, "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" (2007) - one that put him back alongside comic superstar Adam Sandler, but this time, in a co-lead capacity - James did not stray too far from his "Queens" persona, starring as firefighter Larry, who marries Sa"The King of Queens" bowed out in the spring of 2007, having admirably retained its ndler"s firefighter Chuck in order to keep his family benefits package.

March 11, 2009
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Five goals in the third quarter helped power Assumption College to an 11-6 win over MIT in a non-conference men's lacrosse game on Wednesday. Ryan Ballentine tallied one goal and three assists in his second consecutive game for the Engineers (0-2). Kevin Jurgens recorded a hat-trick as the Greyhounds improved to 1-2 on the year.
Will Langevin opened up the scoring by connecting on a feed from Kevin Klaskin midway through the frame. MIT evened the contest on an unassisted strike by Ballentine.
The majority of the second stanza was a defensive battle until Neil Zimmerman scored on a Corey Garvey pass to go ahead with 5:05 on the clock. John Murphy set up Jurgens for the equalizer three minutes later. Assumption then reclaimed the lead (3-2) when Connor Mack found Jurgens with 50 seconds remaining in the half.
The Greyhounds carried the momentum into the third frame with John Mitchell connecting on a pass from Jordan Ruggeri. Ballentine found Garvey for an extra-man goal at 8:17 to cut the Engineers' deficit in half. After exchanging goals, Assumption tallied three out of the next four goals during the final 5:23 of the period to establish an 8-5 advantage.
Solo efforts by Chris Noyes, Kyle Chaffee, and Tim Roy doubled the Greyhounds' margin before Zimmerman capped the scoring with an unassisted marker.
Garvey paced the Cardinal and Gray with four groundballs as Garth Grove collected 11 saves. The Greyhounds' Matt Fletcher recorded a game-high five groundballs while Dan Shea amassed 10 saves in 57 minutes of action. Scott Vogel closed out the contest with a pair of stops.
Next up for MIT will be a road game at Salve Regina University on Saturday, March 14 while Assumption will host Anna Maria College in its home-opener on Wednesday, March 18.

Durfee sophomore battles some of the best in state
Durfee High sophomore Blacker Romero went 2-2 on Day 1 of the All State Wrestling Championships on Friday at the Tsongas Center and was ousted from the tourney.
Second in state Division 1 a year ago, Romero lost to two very high-quality opponents: Peter Gutierrez of Catholic Memorial and Brandon Weir of Hampshire. Weir, a junior with 100-plus career wins already to his credit, is a two-time state champion, Durfee coach Chris Antao noted. Romero lost to Weir by one point.
Romero (37-8) had opened with decisions over Josh Wesolowski of Pentucket and James Kilgo of Nashoba Regional.

When Carl Franklin made "One False Move" and "Devil in a Blue Dress" in the 1990s, it was like a sotto voce announcement of a genuine talent — a low-key director interested in crime fiction but also in character, and race, and the real world. Neither film was a big commercial success, so while Franklin has worked steadily in film and television since then, one suspects it has not been a pick-and-choose career.
"Bless Me, Ultima," Franklin's own adaptation of the 1972 Rudolfo Anaya novel set in New Mexico near the end of World War II, finds the director valiantly compressing Anaya's magical-realist tale into something more than a dutiful parallel to the book.
Here's what I remember most vividly: A shot of a flatbed truck laden with chilies, chugging down the road at harvest time. Also, this: a shot of a boy taking Communion, and then in two or three little moments, the boy struggling to scrape the dissolving wafer from the roof of his mouth.
These are choice, off-handed details. The story is told in voice-over by the adult Antonio, a sweet, serious Chicano preteen whose life is changed forever when a curandera, or medicine woman, named Ultima arrives to live with his family. "Is Ultima really a witch?" one child asks early on.
In Anaya's tale there are good witches, and there are bad witches, and as Antonio's days are spent in grade school, or in the fields with his uncles, or under the spiritual guidance of Ultima, the coming-of-age narrative returns, always, to the New Mexico landscape. Franklin's approach here is simple, clean and clear, perhaps too much so for a story swimming in metaphors and the supernatural. A vicious landowner and his three "Macbeth"-inspired daughters provide the oppositional force in the story.
The acting's solid enough, with Luke Ganalon's Antonio providing a heap of wise-beyond-his-years wisdom, and Miriam Colon Valle's Ultima impervious to the petty venalities of those who view her medicinal powers as sinister. The results are pretty, and sometimes beautiful. They're also a tad stiff, and the dialogue and voice-over narration sometimes has the ring of a scrupulously faithful adaptation. But Franklin's eye is alert to both the landscape and his ensemble of performers. Call "Bless Me, Ultima" a mixed blessing.
'Bless Me, Ultima' -- 2 1/2 stars

Cisco IOS Voice Troubleshooting and Monitoring -- Cisco VoiceXML Troubleshooting
From DocWiki
m (1 revision)
Revision as of 22:22, 5 March 2009
Applications written in Voice eXtensible Markup Language (VoiceXML) provide access through a voice browser to content and services over the telephone, just as Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) provides access through a web browser running on a PC. The universal accessibility of the telephone and its ease of use makes VoiceXML applications a powerful alternative to HTML for accessing the information and services of the World Wide Web.
Cisco IOS VoiceXML Overview
The Cisco IOS VoiceXML feature provides a platform for interpreting VoiceXML documents. When a telephone call is made to the Cisco VoiceXML-enabled gateway, VoiceXML documents are downloaded from web servers, providing content and services to the caller, typically in the form of pre-recorded audio in an IVR application. Customers can access online business applications over the telephone, providing for example, stock quotes, sports scores, or bank balances.
VoiceXML brings the advantages of web-based development and content delivery to voice applications. It is similar to HTML in its simplicity and in its presentation of information. The Cisco IOS VoiceXML feature is based on the W3C VoiceXML 2.0 Working Draft and is designed to provide web developers great flexibility and ease in implementing VoiceXML applications.
Figure: Cisco IOS VoiceXML Application Components shows components that can be configured as a part of a VoiceXML application installed on a Cisco voice gateway:
Figure: Cisco IOS VoiceXML Application Components
For information on developing a VoiceXML document for implementing an application on the Cisco voice gateway, refer to the Cisco VoiceXML Programmer's Guide.
This section describes some of the troubleshooting techniques for the Cisco VoiceXML features.
- Debugging Cisco VoiceXML Applications
- Error Events
- JavaScript or ECMA Script
- Troubleshooting Speech Recognition and Synthesis
- Troubleshooting ASR and TTS Server Functionality
For a list of the latest troubleshooting FAQs, go to the developer support website here:
Debugging Cisco VoiceXML Applications
To debug Cisco VoiceXML applications at the gateway level, refer to the Cisco IOS TCL and VoiceXML Application Guide.
This section describes troubleshooting at the script level. To troubleshoot Cisco VoiceXML scripts, enable the debug vxml error and debug vxml puts commands on the gateway.The debug vxml error command displays all errors on the console, and the debug vxml puts command prints debugging statements used with the <log> element in the VoiceXML document.
<cisco-debug> is used to debug only a specific application. To disable debugging messages for all VoiceXML applications except the specific VoiceXML application you wish to debug, use the <cisco-debug> element in the VoiceXML document in conjunction with the debug condition application voice command.
Refer to the Cisco IOS TCL and VoiceXML Application Guide for information on debug commands.
|Before you use Cisco IOS debug commands to debug a specific application, add <cisco-debug> to the VoiceXML document for the application you want to debug.
For example:
- Turn on global debug.
- Add the <cisco-debug enabled = "true"/> and <cisco-debug enabled = "false"/> elements around the specific part of the VoiceXML document where you want to see debugging messages.
- Add conditional debugging to the specific application.
1. Turn on global debug for the areas you want to debug. For example:
debug vxml application debug vxml trace
|If you do not proceed with step 2 and end your task with step 1, you see error messages for all the applications, irrespective of conditional debug being turned on or off.
2. Add the <cisco-debug enabled = "true"/> and <cisco-debug enabled = "false"/> elements around the specific part of the VoiceXML document where you want to see debugging messages. For example:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <vxml version="1.0" application="root.vxml"> <form> <block> <cisco-debug enabled = "true"/> <prompt> <audio src="welcome.au" caching="fast"/> </prompt> <cisco-debug enabled = "false"/> <goto next="getExtension.vxml?"/> </block> </form> </vxml>
3. Add conditional debugging to the specific application you want to debug. For example:
Three applications named myapp1, myapp2, and myapp3, all of which can be loaded by using the call application voice command are shown below:
call application voice myapp1 http://server1/vxml/test1.vxml call application voice myapp2 http://server2/vxml/test2.vxml call application voice myapp3 http://server3/vxml/test3.vxml
To debug only one of the applications, for example myapp1, use the debug condition application voice command to disable debug messages for the other applications, myapp2 and myapp3.
debug condition application voice myapp1
|Debugging for myapp1 is performed for only those debug areas that have been enabled in step 1 above. Debugging for the specific session must be enabled through the <cisco-debug> tag as shown in step 2 above.
Error Events
Enabling the debug vxml error command displays a list of possible error events on the console. For a list of error events, see the Tcl IVR Events and Status Codes section.
Some of the possible errors generated with the debug vxml error command enabled are:
|Possible Causes
|Suggested Actions
|Possible Causes
|Suggested Actions
Logical errors such as referencing an undefined variable.
Verify that all variables referenced in the script are valid and defined.
Defining different grammar types in the same scope in the VoiceXML application.
Verify that only one grammar type is used at the time of recognizing user input.
Failure to define mandatory parameters in Cisco objects. For example, failure to define the account parameter in the authorize object results in a semantic error.
Verify that all mandatory parameters are defined in Cisco objects used in the script.
|Possible Causes
|Suggested Actions
A resource format is not supported by the platform.
Verify that all formats used in the script are supported by the specific platforms being used.
JavaScript or ECMA Script
When the <script> element or ECMA expression is used in a VoiceXML document, enable the debug java command for debugging.
debug java ? apm2- JavaScript APM2 Utility Debugging error- JavaScript Error Debugging interpreter- JavaScript Interpreter Debugging
Troubleshooting Speech Recognition and Synthesis
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)T and later support automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text-to-speech (TTS) capabilities for VoiceXML and Tcl applications on Cisco voice gateways.
The Speech Recognition and Synthesis feature provides interfaces to ASR and TTS media servers by using Media Resource Control Protocol (MRCP), an application-level protocol developed by Cisco and its ASR and TTS media server partners, Nuance Communications and SpeechWorks International. Client devices that are processing audio or video streams use MRCP to control media resources on external media servers, such as speech synthesizers for TTS and speech recognizers for ASR. The Cisco gateway, running a voice application, and the media servers providing speech recognition and speech synthesis, maintain a client/server relationship through an RTSP connection; the gateway is the RTSP client and the RTSP server is the streaming media server providing speech recognition and speech synthesis.
While doing speech recognition, the gateway creates a separate G.711 u-law RTP stream to the media server, enabling the gateway to simultaneously perform speech synthesis or play audio files using a different codec.
If speech recognition or synthesis is not working, Table: Speech Recognition or Synthesis Fails lists some possible causes and the actions that you can take.
Table: Speech Recognition or Synthesis Fails
|Possible Causes
|Suggested Actions
Server is not configured either on the Cisco gateway or in the VoiceXML document.
Verify that the server location is configured by using at least one of these methods:
Gateway cannot access external ASR or TTS server or server is not running.
Ping the external server to make sure that the gateway has connectivity.
RTSP or MRCP errors are occurring between the gateway and the media server.
Troubleshooting ASR and TTS Server Functionality
- debug vxml error and debug vxml event
- debug mrcp error
- debug rtsp error, debug rtsp session, and debug rtsp socket
1. Use the debug vxml error and debug vxml event commands to verify that the external media server is reachable and its location is configured on the gateway or in the VoiceXML document. In the following example, the application failed because the media server is not configured on the gateway or in the VoiceXML document.:
Router# debug vxml error Router# debug vxml event *Jan 5 18:24:19.507: //62/36CA25A68036/VXML:/vxml_vapp_tts: tftp://demo/sample/banking.vxml at line 17: vapp_tts() fail with vapp error 1 **Jan 5 18:24:19.507: //62/36CA25A68036/VXML:/vxml_event_proc: *Jan 5 18:24:19.507: <event>: event=error.badfetch status=0 *Jan 5 18:24:19.507: //62/36CA25A68036/VXML:/vxml_default_event_handler: use default event handler *Jan 5 18:24:19.507: //62/36CA25A68036/VAPP:/vapp_session_exit_event_name: Exit Event error.badfetch *Jan 5 18:24:19.507: //62/36CA25A68036/VAPP:/vapp_session_exit_event_name: Exit Event error.badfetch *Jan 5 18:24:19.507: //62/36CA25A68036/VAPP:/vapp_session_exit_event_name: Exit Event Name already set to error.badfetch *Jan 5 18:24:19.507: //62/36CA25A68036/VXML:/vxml_vapp_terminate: vapp_status=0 ref_count 0 *Jan 5 18:24:19.507: //62/36CA25A68036/VXML:/vxml_vapp_terminate: vxml session terminating with code=ERROR vapp status=VAPP_SUCCESS vxml async status=VXML_ERROR_BAD_FETCH
In the following example, the application failed because the media server is either unreachable or is not running.
*Jan 5 18:36:44.451: //83/ECD9B163804B/VXML:/vxml_media_done: : media play failed to setup with VAPP error=31, protocol_status_code=0 *Jan 5 18:36:44.451: <event>: event=error.com.cisco.media.resource.unavailable status=0 *Jan 5 18:36:44.451: //83/ECD9B163804B/VXML:/vxml_default_event_handler: use default event handler *Jan 5 18:36:44.451: //83/ECD9B163804B/VAPP:/vapp_session_exit_event_name: Exit Event error.com.cisco.media.resource.unavailable *Jan 5 18:36:44.451: //83/ECD9B163804B/VAPP:/vapp_session_exit_event_name: Exit Event error.com.cisco.media.resource.unavailable *Jan 5 18:36:44.451: //83/ECD9B163804B/VAPP:/vapp_session_exit_event_name: Exit Event Name already set to error.com.cisco.media.resource.unavailable *Jan 5 18:36:44.451: //83/ECD9B163804B/VXML:/vxml_vapp_terminate: vapp_status=0 ref_count 0
2. Use the debug mrcp error command to verify the connection between the gateway and the server. The following example shows the error when the RTSP connection to the server fails:
Router# 'debug mrcp error *May 9 20:29:09.936:Connecting to 10.1.2.58:554 failed
The following error occurs when the response from the server is incorrect:
*May 9 20:29:09.936:Response from 10.1.2.58:554 failed *May 9 20:29:09.936:MRCP/1.0 71 422 COMPLETE
The following error occurs when the recognize request comes out of sequence:
*May 9 20:29:09.936:act_idle_recognize:ignoring old recognize request
3. Use the debug rtsp error, debug rtsp session, and debug rtsp socket commands to verify the RTSP connection with the media server, for example:
The following message displays if the RTSP connection fails:
*Sep 25 15:02:32.052: //-1//RTSP:/rtsplib_connect_to_svr: Socket Connect failed: 172.19.140.31:554
The following message displays if the RTSP client receives an incorrect response from the server:
*Sep 25 15:03:35.062: //-1//RTSP:/rtsp_process_single_svr_resp: Parse Server Response failed, 172.19.140.31:554
The following message displays if the codec configured on the IP side is not G.711:
*Sep 25 15:05:15.765: //-1//RTSP:/rtsplib_rtp_associate_done: Association mismatch

Today the Jets face the only team with a worse powerplay over the last three seasons, and one of the two Central Division opponents tied with them at 33 points. The Stars have managed those points in 3 fewer games, and in the face of seemingly constant injury, but that won't stop us from making the comparison.
It's also a game where the team names seem strangely apt. The Jets are still testing their ceiling in game 34, seemingly stuck in the R&D phase of this flight project.
At the other end of the rink, the Stars are searching for answers to the mysteries of the hockey universe. How does hyrdostatic pressure mean we're both always imploding and exploding? Which players form our gravity well, and which are the reactive elements? Why aren't we producing more solar neutrinos, the corsi of star analytics?
It's a matchup that deserves a Sunshine type film.
Jets Forwards
- Ladd – Little – Wheeler
- Thorburn – Jokinen – Setoguchi
- Halischuk – Scheifele – Frolik

The team is 2-2-1 with Thorburn on that second line, and since returning to the Western Conference, Thorburn has been on for 10 even strength shot attempts for and 30 against in two games. He's also been on for 3 even strength goals against, in case you thought he was a defensive stalwart and keeping things out of the net.
No, in fact, the line is the mess we all expected when it came together. It was lightning in a bottle, which as we all know, shatters the bottle and uses the holder of the bottle to ground.
Jets Defence
- Enstrom – Byfuglien
- Clitsome – Trouba
- Stuart – Ellerby
- Pavelec
- Montoya
The team badly misses Zach Bogosian, still weeks away for returning. Still, there are some fixes on this back-end that are frustrating in their simplicity.
Keaton Ellerby is currently a 45% corsi player, which, depending on the context, is a reasonable range for a defensive defenceman playing third pairing minutes. When we break it apart, however, he's actually a 50% corsi player with Adam Pardy (a duo that was not scored against at evens in their limited 66 minutes together), and a 40% corsi player with current partner and known-anchor Mark Stuart. In fact, Ellerby is a 50% corsi player in the 150 minutes of even strength ice time he's played away from Stuart. It's only his 103 minutes with the Assistant Captain that he is downright awful.
And I don't mean to say corsi is the only measure of a player. I think, in fact, that we can see the difference by eye as well. Ellerby moved the puck confidently with Pardy, and is giving it away with dangerous regularity with Stuart. He supported up ice with Pardy, and let go a few shots. He had 6 shots on net in the 9 games he played before Stuart came back from injury, and has had 4 in the 10 since Stuart returned, despite increased minutes.
The simple truth about this roster is that the team is throwing good minutes after bad on a handful of problem players. Mark Stuart is the single biggest problem on this roster, and the team has shown that through the bargain bin in free agency (Adam Pardy) and the waiver wire (Keaton Ellerby, Grant Clitsome), that they can find better defenders without resorting to a HF Boards fantasy of Chris Thorburn for Jeff Petry. But when it comes to this coach, you can only lead him to the water. And when it comes to this General Manager, well, let's hope someone gets him a dowsing rod for Xmas.
Stars Forwards
- Benn – Seguin – Nichushkin
- Cole – Eakin – Chaisson
- Whitney – Horcoff – Peverley
- Roussel – Jeffrey – Garbutt
Each time the Jets play the Stars, Valerie Nichushkin has been on a higher line. Well, he's reached the top and is making a push for the Calder. He currently has 15 points on the year (one behind fellow rookie Alex Chaisson), but put up 7 points in 3 games just last week. His massive frame, slick hands, and exceptional offensive acumen make him a very interesting partner for the big guns. Seguin leads the team with 27 points in 28 games, and Jamie Benn is second with 26 points.
Many will remember Seguin burning the Jets for four points in the first matchup of the season. He remains exceptionally dangerous.
Meanwhile, the team has assembled a tough minutes line of which the Jets should be jealous in Ray 'The Wizard' Whitney, Shawn 'previously miscast' Horcoff, and Rich 'I used to play for Atlanta' Peverley. The hockey IQ in that threesome is likely better than any Jets threesome on the ice today, even if their raw skill isn't that of a top group.
An injury to Vernon Fiddler has made room for waiver wire addition and former Penguin Dustin Jeffrey. Somewhat surprisingly, Antoine Roussel is 6th on the team in scoring with 13 points, and Jeffrey is a noted AHL scorer. This line will face the Jets' fourth group, and it's hard not to give the edge to the Stars, even if its not a threesome that could play much tougher opponents successfully.
Still, what we see in the Stars' forward lineup is something the Jets should aspire to – balance, flexibility, and attainable depth. It's not the Blues on paper, but it's a group with much more to offer from top to bottom than the Jets.
Stars Defence
- Goligoski – Dillon
- Benn – Gonchar
- Rome – Oleksiak
- Lehtonen
- Ellis
This is the time of year to really reflect on whether Dan Ellis is able to feed his family. It's about community, people.
But the Jets will likley face the likes of Kari Lehtonen – the oft-injured goalie traded away by the Atlanta franchise to make room for the spunky young netminder Ondrej Pavelec. And we've never looked back! Not once have we coveted his .921 sv% this season, or thought 'man, his .915 career average would have meant a playoff berth for the Jets!' Nope. Not once.
The Stars' primary problem this year is on this backend. On paper, it's a bit of a weak group – especially after Robidas suffered a horrific ankle injury – but where Goligoski and Gonchar were expected to lead this group, Brenden Dillon has been the team's best defender by quite a margin. At even strength, Gonchar and Goligoski are playing opposite roles, with Gonchar getting a zone start push and weak opponents, and Goligoski starting more in the defensive end than any other defender. In both cases, the role isn't working as they are the worst corsi contributors on the club.
Their powerplay struggles have meant low scoring seasons for their two top-offensive d-men, as well. Gonchar and Goligoski each have just 9 points on the year, and things were worse the last time we checked in.
Jamie Oleksiak is getting an opportunity as a result, and the former 2011 14th overall draft pick is already averaging over 18 minutes through his first five games. The 6'7" behemoth is still coming into his body, but isn't expected to deliver much (any) offence in his career. With Aaron Rome as a partner, it's a wonder he's not delivering more offence for the other squads. It's been easy minutes so far this year, but the Robidas injury opens up a massive need for defensive skill that Oleksiak will be required to fill to some extent.
It feels like there must be a structural issue to set both their puck-moving defencemen off the rails at once, so I hope you'll watch along with me and let me know what you see.
All Too Specific Predictions
Olli Jokinen takes a dumb penalty early when he tries to water-ski out of the corner, and Seguin rips a powerplay marker past Pavelec inside the first five minutes. Already poor in afternoon matchups, the Jets are now deflated and ride it out to a 1-0 first period finish with 15 shots against Pave and 4 against Lehtonen. A second period flurry results in a bad Clitsome giveaway for a Ray Whitney to Alex Chaisson (off the change) connection that puts the Stars up 2-0 mid-way through the second. Frustrated, the Jets scamble back into it with a Ladd marker that belies the fact that the flow of play is controlled by the Stars. The game ends up 4-2 on the back of goals by Dillon (off Trouba), Byfuglien, and an empty netter by Horcoff.

Footage has emerged of the heart-stopping helicopter rescue of a group of skiers from the Pass of Anterne in.
The Monuments Men - Official Trailer
The Monuments Men were a group of men and women from thirteen nations, most of whom volunteered for service in the newly created Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives section, or MFAA. Most had expertise as museum directors, curators, art scholars and educators, artists, architects, and archivists. Their job description was simple: to save as much of the culture of Europe as they could during combat. These men not only had the vision to understand the grave threat to the greatest cultural and artistic achievements of civilization, but then joined the front lines to do something about it.

Chief McClelland, smile
Houstonians need honesty from HPD, and downtown pedestrians need safer streets.
The video doesn't lie. Police Chief Charles McClelland hit a pedestrian with his car on the way to work, as anyone can plainly see in the security camera footage released Thursday. Whether the story that police told immediately after the Sept. 4 accident was an accurate portrayal of what happened is a different question.
"(McClelland) made the left turn and suddenly an adult male stepped off the curb into a moving lane of traffic," HPD spokesman John Cannon said. If that was what happened, then maybe we could understand why the chief was not ticketed for a traffic violation.
But that's not what happened. The video shows a man with the right of way crossing empty lanes of traffic, and a black SUV zooming around a corner. The chief was completely at fault.
To his credit, McClelland spoke honestly from day one and is taking steps in the right direction. The police chief announced Thursday that he will take a defensive driving class and accepted a one-day suspension without pay from Mayor Annise Parker. But we still want to know why he didn't receive a traffic citation. The law is distinct from professional punishments and should be applied no matter the blowback he receives at work. As the chief himself said, "I am the boss; I should take a bigger discipline."
How about the same discipline? He is the boss, and he should show that he isn't above punishment as a professional, or the law as a citizen. He's done the former. We're waiting for the latter.
The buck doesn't stop at the police chief. As more office towers, hotels and apartments open downtown, accidents like this are likely to become increasingly common. Mayor Parker and the many downtown civic organizations should start planning now to make downtown safer for pedestrians: ending right (or left) turns on red lights at key intersections, better-marked crosswalks and even raising some crossings so they double as speed bumps. For many commuters, downtown streets are essentially a feeder until they get to the freeway. Houston needs to change that mentality, or else we're going to have a whole lot of unfortunate videos to watch.

Hello all!
I'm looking to do a project that's seems pretty similar to this one found on Hackster: C.H.I.P. MIDI Arpeggiating Synth but instead of using CHIP, I'm of coarse looking to use a Teensy 3.6...
Basically, I want to hack into my Akai Synthstation 25 in order to use the Teensy audio libraries to initiate sounds to feed through the Synthstation. Also still being able to use the MIDI capabilities of the SS would be ideal as well.
So far I've bought & soldered on the pins to use the optional USB host cable and have tried hooking the SS to the Teensy via that solution but when I fire up the example found: File > Examples > USBHost_t36 > Test the Teensy seems to be getting mixed messages during the upload process and borks out. It's only when I detach the SS from the Teensy's USB host cable that it will properly program. Yet upon reattaching the now programmed Teensy to the SS there doesn't seem to be any activity happening. FYI, I have he Teensy setup to use serial/midi/audio atm.
My first question I guess is what I'm hoping to achieve even possible? Then secondarily if so am I going about it the right way with this USB host cable or should I be looking to connect to the Akai Synthstation's PCB boards directly? I've taken the SS completely apart and examined all the pieces so I have access to some pins if I can figure out which ones do what exactly. I've taken pictures of each PCB board in the SS so if anyone thinks seeing those would help assess the situation I'd be more than happy to post them here.
Thanks in advance for any advice or help!

Holiday marketplace at historic Bridgeport Arcade
"B-Merry Holiday mARkeT"
Art will be a stand-out at Bridgeport's one-day "B-Merry Holiday mARkeT" on Thursday, Dec. 13, at the restored historic Arcade in downtown.
Hosted by the Bridgeport Arts & Cultural Council, the free event will run from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., featuring the sale of handmade items by several area artisans, musical performances, carolers, a kids' holiday craft table and hot cocoa and cookies.
The BACC has offices in the Arcade, an 1889 Ornamental Gothic Revival iron-and-glass structure that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. One of the oldest surviving retail arcades in the nation, it is reportedly the only one of its kind in Connecticut.
Wreath-making demonstrations will be presented at noon, 3 and 6 p.m. Santa is scheduled to visit from 5 to 7 p.m.
According to Jaimee Moxham, BACC programmer, the event is part of the council's ongoing "B-Squared" happenings, which take place on the second Thursday of every month year-round at assorted indoor and outdoor venues in downtown.
"It's shaping up to be a really sweet day," she said, adding that it has been timed to "entice business workers to come out and shop on their breaks or on their way home.
"Come pick up something that makes you happy or that certain gift for that someone special," Moxham said, noting that purchases "keep artists in business."
"Money spent at B-Squared events circulates many times over -- local businesses support local causes and charities, which in turn benefits local residents and artists," she added.
Among the vendors will be Robertagail, of Robertagail Originals, whose handcrafted pieces of clothing have been featured on the CBS daytime drama "As the World Turns."
Robertagail has written that "I have always been artistic and creative, possessing a passion for stones and beads and a flair for putting together colors with shapes, balance and textures. All my creations are hand designed with loving care and great passion and thought, in a wide range of styles and colors. Think of them as ... wearable art."
Also among the gift items will be crocheted tea cozies and hats, various styles of jewelry, prints, handmade children's books and pottery.
Entertainment will include Mike Paolucci and Mike Tepper, of Bridgeport's Black Rock section, former band mates with Renard Boissiere, of Renard and Friends. They will play holiday tunes on banjo and upright bass from 3 to 5 p.m.
At 6 p.m., the BACC's Artist of the Month, Pam Lacey, will be feted with an opening reception at the council headquarters. A Meet the Artist discussion will follow; Lacey's installation, "My Father's Stuff II: Unfinished Works" will be on view, created by a rust transfer dyeing process (in which she used rusted objects left behind after her father's death).
Lacey is one of 46 recipients of the 2012 Artist Fellowship Grant in the state of Connecticut, funded by the Connecticut Office of the Arts, and the only recipient from the city of Bridgeport, Moxham said.
Supporters of the B-Squared programs are the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development/Office of the Arts, the city of Bridgeport, the Downtown Special Services District, BACC and the Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County.

That email from your power company—the one that looks like a billing statement—could be bogus. And if you click on the link, you could be in for a nasty surprise.
"Electric utilities across the country—from Florida to Washington—have reported customers being targeted by these malicious emails," said Jon Corley, with the Edison Electric Institute, a trade group that represents investor-owned U.S. electric companies.
The fake billing notice emails may arrive as simple text sent from the "Energy Billing Service" or more graphically pleasing HTML that includes the logo of a real utility, although not necessarily your power company. That should be a red flag that something's wrong.
PG&E, a big West Coast utility, recently warned that its logo was used on many of these scam billings.
(Read more: How the 'one ring scam' can cost you money)
"It's unacceptable that someone is trying to take advantage of our customers and others," PG&E senior vice president Helen Burt said in a statement.

|Head Coach
|Previous College:
|New Hampshire '84
|8th year
Entering his eighth year at the helm of the Sacred Heart football team, head coach Paul Gorham has put his stamp on the Pioneer program. The offensive minded coach has the Pioneers positioned as a team on the rise in the Northeast Conference.
When he was introduced as Sacred Heart's seventh football coach in July of 2004, Gorham brought with him a wealth of experience and accomplishments in his inaugural season as a collegiate head coach. He compiled 18 years of experience in the trenches as an assistant at the Division I-AA and Division II levels, developing an innovative and exciting offensive philosophy.
Coach Gorham got the Pioneers back on track in 2008, bouncing back from three losing seasons with an 8-3 overall mark and a 4-3 record in the NEC. The Pioneers shot out to a 6-0 start to the season and won eight of their first nine games to post their highest win total since the 2001 season. In 2011, Gorham made Sacred Heart history as the Pioneers defeated two Ivy League programs (Columbia and Dartmouth) in the same season.
Under his tutelage, the Pioneer offense has thrived producing the program's all-time leading passer and receiver in Dale Fink and Steve Tedesco. Fink holds 13 SHU passing records and is also tops in the Northeast Conference annals breaking the conference marks in career passing yards and touchdown throws. Tedesco holds 11 Sacred Heart receiving records. Both finished their careers by earning places on the FCS All-New England team.
Prior to joining the Pioneers, Gorham spent five years on the University of Massachusetts coaching staff as recruiting coordinator and wide receivers coach. Gorham helped the offense average 380.4 yards and 28.3 points per game in 2003, including 231.6 passing yards per contest.
Prior to his time at UMass, Gorham worked on the staff at Brown University for five seasons. He served as the offensive coordinator on Phil Estes' staff in 1998, after spending the previous four years as the offensive line coach under Mark Whipple. In 1998, Gorham directed a Brown offense that led the Ivy League with an average of 433.8 yards per game. In addition, Brown's 1998 offense established 25 team or individual records and five Ivy League team or individual marks. in 1997, the Brown offense set Ivy League and school records for total offense (474.3 yards per game), and the school single game record for total offense (629 yards against Yale).
During his stint at Brown, Gorham helped develop the Bears' offensive line into one of the top units in I-AA. He produced three first-team All-Ivy League offensive linemen in his five seasons. The Bears had an overall record of 31-19 during Gorham's five years on the staff.
Prior to going to Brown, Gorham served for six years under Whipple as the recruiting coordinator and offensive line coach at the University of New Haven.

Before the iPhone, there was another model that everyone just had to have: the Razr. And where do all good phones go to die? Ebay of course – though I'm not sure why anyone would want to purchase the Razr these days – so outdated.
Kyle Williams found a creative way to bring these phones back to life. After purchasing 44 Razrs off the website, he peeled apart the layers to find old text messages, sexts (yes, even THOSE existed back then too,) pictures, and videos. The material was compiled and published in his new book Razrs.
Note to self? Delete all the memory and data started on my crackberry when I decide to replace it.

Recapper Movie Review: Ghost Rider
I'll be the first to admit that I am one huge lazy-ass when it comes to watching movies. So if this movie review is just a tad bit late, by say, a year and half or so, well, you'll just have to accept that I may have been doing something else for that time. Like drinking lots of alcohol in order to keep a somewhat straight face while trying to watch this frickin' movie. I'm told I wasn't smiling when I passed out, so we'll take the near-constant quaffing of bourbon and bitters to dull the pain in my logic centers as a moderate success.

SMS services have been suspended in the Democratic Republic of Congo, allegedly to prevent the spread of electoral related rumours. Mobile services providers and media in DRC announced on November 4th, that by order of the Government, SMS services had been suspended in order to prevent people from sharing results before being are announced by the Elections Commission.
As a global civil society network advocating on internet rights, Association for Progressive Communications (APC) and its network of partners in DRC deplore this move and urge the Government to explore other options for combating potential fraud. Cutting access to communications is a violation of the rights to freedom of expression and freedom of information protected under DRC constitution and under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The decision to cut these services is particularly troubling during the global campaign of 16 Days of Activism Against Violence Against Women. Both internet and SMS services are crucial to women facing violence.
Women's rights organisations in the DRC are part of a global 16 days of activism initiative called Take Back the Tech!, which aims to bring an end to violence against women through the use of technology. This campaign can be significantly affected by the move to cut access to SMS services. Campaign partners in the DRC use internet and mobile phone technology to help report cases of violence against women and can have a positive impact in addressing violence against women in the country.
As one of the most accessible and widest form of communication tools available, mobile phones are extremely important to women and girls, who rely on their mobile phones to communicate and get immediate help and support when violence occurs. Cutting off SMS services disproportionately impacts the communication rights of the poorer sections of Congolese society, of which women and girls make up the majority of the demographic.
Take Back the Tech! and our partners strongly urge authorities in the DRC to look into other ways to ensure that elections are free and fair. Cutting communications is likely to breed suspicion, fuel rumour mills and contribute to uncertainty and violence. This would directly go against the aim of protecting the electoral process.
Take Bach the Tech! Is a collaborative campaign that takes place during the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence (25 Nov – 10 Dec). It is a call to everyone – especially women and girls – to take control of technology to end violence against women. To find out more, go to: www.takebackthetech.net
About APC: The Association for Progressive Communications (APC) is an international network and non-profit organisation founded in 1990 that wants everyone to have access to a free and open internet to improve lives and create a more just world. www.apc.org

I was looking through the Falcons' roster, and I was pretty shocked at how much younger and more talented the Hawks appear to be overall compared to the Falcons, despite the fact that Atlanta is the 13-3 #1 seed.
I think the only 2 Falcons that I would replace the corresponding Seahawks starters with would be Julio Jones and Sean Witherspoon. I think Julio is pretty obvious and I would take him over any WR we have...the physical abilities are out of control and he is known to be a hard worker. Witherspoon seems like a pretty good, aggressive OLB, and he seems like he would fit right in replacing Leroy. He is kind of a punk though, but I'm sure we could handle him.
I guess another one may be Clabo, but only if he still plays Right Tackle (not sure about that) and I'm not sure that he is actually better than Breno anyways.
Other than that....I don't think I'd pull the trigger on anyone else, and I can let go of emotional attachments to players so that is saying something. I think the moral of the story is that our roster is really good right now and compares very well with the best teams in the NFL.

When iOS was first released, there's no denying it was a revolutionary product. Since then, in terms of features and flexibility, Android has eclipsed iOS three times over. Yet many Android apps still function at a lower capacity. Despite having a clear advantage in overall market share, iOS leads the pack in mind share. Companies still develop for iOS first, and that can have a negative impact on Android.
Ian G. Clifton, Android developer and Director of User Experience at ARO in Seattle, has taken to his more, "technical" blog, to express his thoughts and ideas on the subject. Despite its popularity, Android still suffers because of iOS' limitations, and the perception that iOS apps should be the, "golden standard."
Clifton covers everything from app icons and widgets, to sharing and notifications. He shares personal stories on how iOS apps negatively influence their Android counterparts, and provides a handful of technical details as well. Most Android power-users are well aware of how limited iOS sharing is, and iOS users are well aware that their device's home screen can turn into a sea of blue icons in no time, but Clifton brings up some interesting and valid points on both subjects in an elegant, easy to understand fashion.

Excellent article by Orri Vigfusson of the North Atlantic Salmon Fund outlinging the need to manage fish stocks for abundance not basic minimum spawning requirements. Obviously something we need to continue pushing here in BC as commercial industry and DFO always try to defer to the bare minimums required for any stock.
Northern Ireland forced to change salmon policy
A Milestone for the Foyle; Entering a New Era where salmon abundance is the target, not minimum levels
On 14th June 2010 The Loughs Agency, Foyle Carlingford and Irish Lights Commission, announced that due to a collapse in the salmon stock of the River Finn, all netting in the greater Foyle river system area would be stopped for a minimum of four years to promote stock recovery. Angling would be permitted, but only on a catch and release basis, as a result of a previously agreed protocol requested by anglers to help guard against poaching and pollution, and agreed by The Loughs Agency.
This represents a milestone in the development of salmon fisheries policy in the North West of Ireland; the Foyle system is a cross-border river system administered on a joint basis by two sovereign Governments, The Republic of Ireland, and The United Kingdom.
This change in policy has come about to protect stocks, but also because a failure to act by the Loughs Agency would have rendered The Republic of Ireland and The United Kingdom liable to infraction proceedings from the EU for breach of the Habitats Directive.
The history of salmon policy in the North of Ireland is not an advertisement for good Government. It has been characterised in the early years by a bureaucratic neglect to the extent that when NASF asked the responsible senior Civil Servant to outline Government policy on salmon, he was unable to do so, simply because no policy existed.
In the face of falling stocks, through pressure from anglers led by NASF and others, Government in time were forced to set out their policy on salmon - which amounted to neglect of duty. Instead of looking at the problem, Government simply allowed mixed stock interceptory netting to continue largely unhindered.
It is an interesting commentary on salmon policy in the North of Ireland that Governments always end up doing what NASF and anglers tell them they must do, but there is a lethal time lag while they do what they can to hide the fact that their previous policies were in error. Saving face, it seems, is more important than saving the salmon.
When NASF told Governments in the early 1990s that we needed to stop netting and conserve the freshwater habitats, we were literally laughed at; we were told in fact that the Foyle salmon netting effort may need to be increased, "to make sure we don't allow too many salmon to reach the spawning grounds". This is typical of the wilful refusal to look to the future that NASF has faced down through the years.
Time and again when NASF submitted plans to reduce or buy out netting, we were told it was not necessary, Government had everything in hand; all would be well, the bureaucrats knew much more about salmon than mere anglers in NASF. In fact, all was not well, and it now turns out that the anglers and NASF were right all along.
The collapse in the salmon stock of the River Finn must now mark a complete break from the misguided policies of the past as promoted by the Loughs Agency and supported by the two sovereign Governments, The Republic of Ireland, and The United Kingdom.
The Lough Agency has used models based upon minimum spawning escapement levels instead of listening to the NASF call for a return to abundance and the creation of a stronger population base through greater numbers. We at NASF criticize the narrow focus on egg deposition targets because rivers need far more spawning fish than are necessary to satisfy meagre theoretical minimum levels.
The practice of calculating backwards from juvenile habitat surveys to an estimation of required egg deposits is insufficient on its own, because it ignores the salmon's need for the diversity and protection against threats that abundant numbers provide. It also takes no account of the normal but highly variable occurrence of lethal weather, pollution, and other events that inflict high egg and fry mortality. There is good reason why salmon populations are prodigious when it comes to spawning. The fish deposit large numbers of eggs because so few of their ova survive and every season is different in terms of the unpredictability of weather, damaging events, and water levels.
It is not reasonable ignore these diverse factors and assume that a one-fits-all scenario can be safely constructed on a computer which does not recognise what mother nature has been very successfully doing for the last ten thousand years. Given the current abysmally low number of adult salmon in many rivers, the only rational strategy is to maximize egg deposition from the current runs and to work simultaneously to re-establish the environmental qualities of the rivers.
In the Loughs Agency area, this milestone presents an opportunity which must not be squandered.
We are running out of time to save the salmon, we can no longer afford the lethal time lag while Government Agencies try to save face. We need a complete break from a sterile dependence solely on minimum Conservation Limit targets; while these may form a useful contribution to a management regime, we must no longer rely on the concept of minimum numbers as targets for spawning.
We must firstly negotiate with the remaining netsmen to bring a permanent end to all netting in the entire Foyle area, with suitable safeguards on angling exploitation. Then we must embark on a long term programme of habitat conservation, protection, and enhancement, to maximise freshwater productivity. We must strive to achieve the NASF objective of abundance of salmon in our rivers, and to aim to achieve this every year. Only by doing this can we protect our salmon runs for the future.
Orri Vigfusson. NASF

Diving the Cape Peninsula and False Bay/Livingstone Reef
The dive site Livingstone Reef is an offshore rocky reef in the Roman Rock area of Simon's Bay, in False Bay, near Cape Town in the Western Cape Province of South Africa.
Fairly high profile corestone reef around the pinnacle, and another large outcrop some way to the east. Quite pretty. Typical medium depth west False Bay invertebrate cover, with lots of sea fans.
This site is in a Marine Protected Area (2004). A permit is required. The site is entirely within the Boulders Restricted Zone of the Table Mountain National Park MPA.
The name "Livingstone Reef" is derived from the name of the diver who found the pinnacle by accident when diving the north pinnacle of Castor Reef. The reef was known to exist, but had not been reported before as a dive site.
Maximum depth is about 23m on the sand and the top of the pinnacle is about 14m. There is another pinnacle to the east which comes up to about 15 or 16m.
The western pinnacle is fairly compact, but made up from a group of large rocks clustered together, with crevices, gaps, and a few overhangs. The highest rock extends about a metre above the 15m depth, and the local area is generally above 18m for several metres around.
The surrounding reef is relatively low, mostly between 21 and 18m deep, and the sand is at about 23m.
The reef is elongated from north-west to south-east. The length is estimated at about 220m, and width fron south west to north east is about 30m near the pinnacle. The pinnacle slopes down rapidly to sand to the north-east and southwest, while to the south-east and north west the slope is more gradual, over quite an area of low reef. Further to the south-east it gets more rugged again, and to the north-east more reef is visible a few metres away across the sand.
About 100m to the south-east of the pinnacle there is another slightly lower monolithic pinnacle reaching up to about 17m depth from the sand on the north eastern side.
Geology: Granite corestones of the Peninsula pluton, surrounded by fairly fine quartz sand.
The site is exposed to south easterly wind and waves, so should be dived in light winds, or if the wind is somewhat from the west, and is often good in winter. The site is reasonably protected from south westerly swell, but if the wave period is long there may be significant surge. This is an area which sometimes has a thermocline, and the temperature may drop several degrees, often with a marked improvement in visibility, resulting in better but colder conditions than the surface would suggest. Temperatures may drop by more than 5%deg;C across the thermocline, and this is more likely in summer.
Get in[edit]
Boat dive: The site is too far offshore to swim
The site is about 6.1km from Miller's Point slipway, 3.5km from False Bay Yacht Club, or 3.3km from Long Beach
See[edit][add listing]
Marine life[edit]
The pinnacle is an area of complex topography, with several deep gullies and crevices, and a few overhangs and small swim-throughs
This is a good site for macro photography, and if the visibility is good, wide angle should produce good results.
Suggested Routes[edit]
The most spectacular area known is in the immediate vicinity of the pinnacle. Dive around it, from the sand to the NE and SW to the top of the pinnacle. If you choose to go further afield, try following the north east edge to the eastern pinnacle, and further.
Stay safe[edit]
No site specific hazards are known.
No special skills required, Most of the site is deeper than the recommended limit for most entry level divers. Certification appropriate to the depth is expected. The ability to deploy a DSMB is recommended.
A DSMB is recommended so that the boat can see where you will be surfacing.

This past weekend was my 3 year anniversary (yay us!) and I had big "go out of town" plans. Unfortunately, these coincided with vacation plans of Bob and Sharon (the Empress and her consort). So I would be spending my vacation at The Empress. After a brief moment of disappointment, I realized that this was a blessing in disguise. There was no way I was ever going to find a hotel or B&B nicer than The Empress (in my humble opinion), so I set out to plan an amazing "staycation" anniversary right here in Little Rock.
To start the weekend off with a bang, we stayed in The Hemingway Suite, which I personally believe is the best room in town. Check out this luxurious room:
Thanks to a restaurant.com suggestion, we had dinner at Lulav Italian Kitchen. I must add that this restaurant was also recommended by guests from the week before who said that I absolutely must try to Portobello Mushroom appetizer. And I did. And it was every bit as delicious as they claimed. I had a filet mignon that was heavenly and my husband had Shrimp and Lobster Newberg…I was tempted to lick his plate! Check out their menu.
After a night in a super soft feather bed (and a whirl in the Jacuzzi tub) we were ready for a busy day. We got up early and had breakfast at The Root Café. Only blocks from the Empress on Main Street, this local favorite is a must-do for vacationers. My eggs banh mi were amazing as was Travis's omelet and it was all filling, but not so heavy that we couldn't participate in our next activity:
Hiking up Pinnacle Mountain. I was so excited about this as it is always one of my favorite activities. Unfortunately this is not one of the times where everything went smoothly. I somehow lost the path and decided to blaze the mountain with no trail. Horrible idea. 30 minutes later I was sitting on a rock whining about the pain. Those trails are marked for a reason people! Follow them!
Check out our next blog for lunch, dinner, massage and ICE CREAM! And the rivertrail!!!

The U.S. budget had a surplus in January, with government coffers swelling to $3 billion, above expectations of a $2 billion deficit, Treasury Department data showed on Tuesday.
Continue Reading Below
No specific reason was given for why Treasury's revenues exceeded its spending in January. But in its estimate last week, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said the Treasury got an extra $9 billion in taxes after a payroll tax reduction expired on Jan. 1 following the last-minute "fiscal cliff" deal.
The January surplus means the government's cumulative deficit for the fiscal year, which starts in October, is $290 billion, 17 percent lower than the comparable first four months of fiscal 2012.
During fiscal 2012 which ended Sept. 30, the budget deficit totaled $1.089 trillion.

Jeffrey Kalmikoff and Jake Nickell, the masterminds behind the hugely successful, crowd-sourced t-shirt design website Threadless, chart their changing working styles and mindsets throughout eight years of partnership. Their "Do-First Work Ethic" encompasses virtues like: staying scrappy, being 100% reactive to your community, embracing a DIY approach, learning from failure, and always (always) taking the first step.About Jeffrey Kalmikoff I'm your average 29-year-old tattooed metal-head with an eye for design and nose for tomfoolery. The focus of my work as partner and chief creative officer for skinnyCorp is design and strategy for their numerous community-based web projects. These projects range in scale from Threadless, a multimillion dollar t-shirt business and ongoing open-call for t-shirt design submissions which sells more than 100,000 tees per month and has over 900,000 registered users, to YayHooray, an invite-only, just-for-fun design and technology community site with only a few thousand members.
Jake Nickell is a young, entrepreneurial mad man that programs community websites non-stop. He is the founder and CSO of skinnyCorp and Threadless.com, along with countless other side projects. Jake dreamed up the Threadless concept in 2000 after winning a t-shirt design contest on a short-lived online design forum. The idea of sharing designs and opening them up for fellow artists' critiques appealed to him; he thought Threadless would be a way to give back to the community by creating actual goods out of the submitted designs.

Odd choice of name...
Intel has released some additional about its future eight-core "Poulson" Itanium processors. The Poulson chips are the first Itaniums to have a new microarchitecture and core redesign since the "McKinley" cores a decade ago. As previously reported, the processor has a total of 3.1 billion transistors and is implemented in …
This processor is the "anti-core" meaning that the majority of the design is based on making things like faster cache, faster interconnects, faster instructions etc... unlike the Core series of processors which really shine because of the huge amount of real estate allocated to instruction reordering and interpretation.
With this chip, Intel developed new power plane technologies, they developed new core communication technologies, they developed new cache sharing tech etc.... additionally, they figured out how to provide and manage a bunch of multiple API. Also, it appears their SMP methodology is relatively new for them.
Let me draw attention to the fact that as opposed to sucking a bunch of technology from the Core platform, they developed most of the new goodies in these chips FOR these chips. So, in reality, it's a huge test bed for all the good things to come in the Core series of chips in later generations. By bring what they learned here to the Core chips, they should be able to provide more cores, faster buses, more optimal instructions and such.
So, just the IP generated from this project which will be the groundwork for later Core and Xeon chips is more than enough ROI. What they make selling these actual chips is probably just gravy :)
"The one funny bit in the Poulson design are the two half-QPI links at the bottom of the chip. These were added, accoording to Riedlinger, to provide glueless interconnections for eight-socket machines. Iit would not be surprising to see them used as interconnects for linking even larger systems into a single SMP image with a modified "Boxboro" chipset from Intel or a tweaked sx3000 chipset from HP, which is used in its Integrity Superdome 2 servers."
Very strange statement as the current chip Tukwila also has the two 1/2 QPI links which add up to 1 QPI link for a total of 5. If you do the math 1 QPI link for I/O, 4 QPI links to talk to other chips then you get direct connect to 5 chips not 8. Yes it's glueless, but CPU0 has to go thru CPU6 to get to CPU7. Just look at HP's 4 wide blade wire diagram. It's borderline design flaw, but they choose not to put in the SX3000 chipset into the blades.
The Superdome2 and the SX3000 chipset is even more interesting as it only uses 3 of the QPI links as the other two are wasted.
I did not see the chip speed here but it will be 2.4GHz

"Repent and believe in the gospel." From the beginning of His ministry, Jesus called people to repentance. Peter and Paul urged people to repent as well. The concept of repentance is central to the Christian life. But what does it mean to repent? Here Dr. R.C. Sproul unfolds the biblical concept of repentance. He looks at repentance as it relates to regeneration.
As a gifted communicator, R.C. Sproul has helped many believers grow in their understanding of such matters as the nature of God, the history of redemption, and the manner in which we are saved. Now Dr. Sproul's lucid teaching on these vital matters is available in a series of concise booklets that are perfect for personal learning and refreshing, as well as small-group study. For a quick introduction to matters at the very core of the Christian life, for yourself or a friend, consider the Crucial Questions booklets from Reformation Trust Publishing.

Country superstar Dwight Yoakam rocked his guitars, cadillacs and hillbilly music March 5 at The Florida Theatre. The crowd went wild as the rhinestoned cowboy shimmied in his tight jeans across the stage during each song.
The set included several tracks from his latest album, "3 Pears," a cover of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" and hits from his nearly three-decade career, including "Honky Tonk Man," "A Thousand Miles from Nowhere" and "Little Ways."
Yoakam's brand of honky tonk-meets-rock and pop brought new and faithful fans out for the show. Mother and daughter Annette and Missi Jones said they don't go to many concerts together, but seeing Yoakam was a dream come true.
For Tom and Jan Mann of Minnesota, it was the third of four Yoakam concerts they planned to see on the current tour.
"She's a roadie," said Tom Mann of his wife.
The country star's Americana set kept generations dancing together in their seats for hours.
