Belt-driven fans work best when they are 3/4 in. to 1 in. from the radiators surface. Whenever you remove an original equipment fan clutch from your engine, you need to add a fan spacer. This will bring the fan back into the "sweet spot" in the fan shroud opening.

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities warned Friday that restoring cost-sharing reduction (CSR) payments to insurance companies participating in the Obamacare markets could end up doing more harm than good. Restoring the payments is part of the bipartisan bill sponsored by Sens. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and Patty Murray (D-WA) that may be incorporated into an omnibus spending package later this month.
When President Trump canceled the CSR payments in October, insurance companies responded by raising premiums, which increased the subsidies paid by the government to help Obamacare enrollees cover the cost of their insurance. If the CSR payments are restored, the subsidies would fall, ultimately raising the out-of-pocket price paid by enrollees.
Aviva Aron-Dine, the former Obama administration official who wrote the 16-page report, said that "between 1.6 million and 3.3 million consumers in HealthCare.gov states — or between 18 percent and 36 percent of all marketplace consumers in these 39 states — could face higher costs if CSR payments are restored next year."

Suburbia hasn't been spared the political split that has the nation in a gridlock with less than a week before the election.
President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are on the same block with suburban voters, tied with 48 percent of likely voters each, according to a National Center for Suburban Studies at Hofstra University. Analysis of a Pew Research Center poll by American University and Patchwork Nation shows Obama has a one point lead in suburbia overall.
Although Romney has a 5-point lead among suburban independents at 50 percent to Obama's 45 percent. It's different turf in urban communities, where Obama is leading 55-39 percent among independents.
The president has a slight edge with suburban undecideds, the Hofstra University study shows.
About 11 percent of those living in hamlet neighborhoods are swing voters, a sizable chunk that could make or break either candidate's success with the demographic. Five percent lean toward Obama compared to Romney's three percent.
The monied 'burbs, highly educated and wealthier than the national average, house a large percentage of the population and are crucial come Tuesday. The communities strongly favored Obama during the 2008 campaign, according to Patchwork Nation data.
But it's been a hard four years for suburbanites. Romney managed to peel away 14 percent of residents who voted for Obama in 2008, according to the Hofstra University study. Only four percent of John McCain backers now are supporting the president.
The president also might have an advantage among "emptying nest" counties, enclaves to the elderly and baby boomers, according to the American University and Patchwork Nation analysis.
They flocked to President George Bush in 2004, favoring him 56 percent to John Kerry's 43 percent. This time around it's another story. It's tighter, but Obama has an 11 point edge with 52 percent compared to Romney's 41 percent.
Many havens for retirees and the elderly are in swing states, key in winning a tight election where leads are so close. Emptying nest counties make up 11 percent of the Ohio population, 20 percent of Wisconsin's and 32 percent of Iowa's.

It's me and T, man
Dot com, bitch! Hahaha!
T.I.P., fuck with your boy
Ayy, that is my brothers, ladies and gentlemen
T.I. and he is the king, bitch
Don't get that shit twisted
And me? I am the best rapper alive—ladies and gentlemen, hello!
This is Da Drought 3
And it's been a minute since I've rapped on a Mannie Fresh beat
But, uh...
I guess I go 'head on and show these niggas what to do with one of your beats, man
I like my seat down low and my window slightly cracked
Riding with a bad ho with her girlfriend in the back
I like to get real high, and I never look back
And you don't wanna try, man—don't I look strapped?
I come from the hardest city, ain't nobody fucking with it
Got a black-and-gold soul, with a fresh New Orleans fitted
And a collar Polo and a pair of Bally Bucks
Young Money, motherfucker, know you worried 'bout us
Cash Money, motherfucker, CMR, I trust
Never had my jaw broken, but his jaw, I bust
And I probably got your girlfriend on my bus
What happens on my bus stays on my bus
And that white widow weed out the jar is a must
If you give me a cigar, then a cigar, I'll bust
Put that white widow weed in the cigar and puff
Look ma, I'm tryna make a porno, starring us
Well not just us, a couple foreign sluts
Yeah, we make this some ménage à troisin', y'all in?
I be with Jim Jones and we be ballin', ballin'
Yeah, baby, we ballin', like Rawlins and Spalding
Pint of DJ Screw and that Hawaiian
I am leanin' like a 3 legged lion, climbing
Right to the top of the motherfuckin' mountain.. counting
I'm gonna need me an accountant to count it
Mannie got this fuckin' beat poundin', it's poundin'
But it was just lost, until I found it, I found it
Stole it like a scoundrel, Hollygrove hound it
Put this bitch to sleep, fuckin' right, I night-gowned it
Niggas talkin cheap, tell them niggas, "Pipe down, bitch!"
Bloods in the building, now everybody soundless
Beatin' up this track like a muthafuckin' round-fist
Blind, deaf, or crazy, I'mma spit like a long kiss
I am just a Martian, ain't nobody else on this planet
I know, see I live by my only
Say, where my cheese, nigga? Where my macaroni?
Baby, I get up in dat ass, and act a donkey
Candy on candy, nigga grippin' the grain
See, I'm the only fire that can live in the rain
I am so so New Orleans, like 1825 Tulane
Hahaha.... see, you gotta be from New Orleans
To know what the fuck I'm talkin bout
And if you don't... fuck you
I say what I want, and I don't want nothin'
On this track off his 2007 mixtape Da Drought 3, Weezy raps over T.I.'s "Top Back," and covers the themes that he is most well known for (pussy, money, weed!)

Christi Farrington Keeps Learning New Things Daily!
Christi Joined Active Rain a little while ago, and has been trying to learn how to do our "blog thing." She has diligently been taking all of the courses she could find from the AR Gods, but somehow there were still holes here and there for her.
I decided to help her, and then write about it to see how many others I can help who might have the same problems. The Sensei Group was a great idea by Dick Greenberg to enlighten our AR Group to a higher level by sharing the knowledge.
We have all been there, and been so frustrated that it all sounded so easy on the webinar, but when we actually try to put it into practice, we flop!
Christi was there with links. And resizing photos that had been uploaded into her posts already.
We had a sit down today to learn how to link properly and what the purpose of a link was. We discussed when you do a link, to have the url (address) of the item you wish to link ready and copied. Then type in the title or words for the description of the link. Highlight those words, then click on the chain on the tool bar, insert (paste) the copied url address, click "ok" and viola! You have created a link.
The purpose of linking is to ultimately lead your reader (or Google) around in your blog site or website to other spots that are relevant.
Resizing an already uploaded picture was stumping her - two ways to accomplish this. One is to left click on the picture, then look up to the toolbar. There you need to click on the picture icon to the right, and when that opens, go to the "appearance" tab. There the options are open for resizing (if you deselect the proportions box, you can mess around with width and length) - width and length, location in the post, space around horizontally or vertically, etc. We kept it pretty simple, and did not go further.
You can also resize the picture right in your post. (Must be in edit mode). Click on the picture, and drag either a corner or side box to create the effect you need. You can also drag the picture around in your post and placing it where you like.
It was fun to help Christi this afternoon - she "saw the light" and had a few fun "AHA!" moments. I always enjoy teaching, but also love learning something new every day - I did learn lots today and will blog about it tomorrow. Lots of learning!

Did you ever wish you could capture all of those gorgeous memories of your centerpieces during holidays past? Consider photographing them using interesting camera angles. Besides having a tangible visual reference that you can refer to, you may surprise yourself and create a work of art worthy to be enlarged and printed on plexi-glassto be hung on your walls.
During Passover, I hired Bettie Esses to create my flower arrangements. They were absolutely gorgeous and a few days later, I took the opportunity to practice my photography skills on these organic floral spring centerpieces.
Below are the centerpieces that were in the center of each square table. Simple trapezoid vases held orchid buds resting on a bed of colored rocks and stones. In trapezoid vase # 1, I arranged them in a row and photographed the vases in an angle to practice an interesting depth of field using a small aperture. For point and shoot users, the portrait setting may help create a similar affect of gradual blurring in the background. I photographed trapezoid vase # 2 from above using a small aperture. Again, point and shoot cameras on the portrait setting may give you that blurring effect.
Trapezoid vase photo #1 (above)
Trapezoid vase photo #2
Cylinder photo # 3 is a simple photograph of what the two main centerpieces on my dining room table looked like. Each two foot long cylinder vase held a lone orchid stem completely immersed in water. I took the photograph up a notch by standing on a chair to capture the circular shape of the mouth of the vase for an interesting perspective (cylinder photo # 2). Cylinder photo # 1 shows a closer perspective of the buds inside the vases.
Cylinder photo # 1 (above)
Simply shifting your position and photographing your centerpieces from different perspectives may wow you with an image your certainly proud of . Plus, don't forget to play with your camera settings (like portrait setting or smaller apertures) for added interest.

At Intasure, we understand the needs of the wholesale & distribution industry, and for that reason, we have developed a specialist business combined Insurance policy that provides comprehensive cover to enable you to run your business with the peace of mind that you have adequate protection in force should something sudden & unforeseen occur.
We are a business insurance specialist with a proven track record in pioneering new products specifically tailored to meet the needs of a business such as yours. We can provide a plain English insurance policy wording underwritten and administered in the UK via helpful and knowledgeable staff.
Our business insurance policy is as flexible as you need it to be and for convenience and ease of understanding, we have divided it in to several sections with some worthwhile optional extras if required.
As well as a wide range of insurance perils, our policies include public, products and employers liability. If you are a distributor or wholesaler of products, we can assist with this Products Liability cover if your business activities are carried out within the UK.
Products liability will cover your business in respect of the actual "product" you supply or manufacture to your customers. One common misconception is that if you are only supplying the product, the manufacturer is responsible if the product causes damage or injury to whom it was supplied. This is not always the case. You will still need products liability cover if the manufacturer cannot be clearly identified from the product or if the manufacturer has ceased trading. Perhaps your company may have personalised the item with your company name or logo. Further, if your company has in some way changed, refurbished or made repairs to the product or if it comes from outside the EU you should maintain your own products liability insurance.
If you own the warehouse or unit in which your business is located, we can also offer Buildings cover. If you are a landlord owning a building that is rented out, such as a warehouse, factory or other commercial building and you just need to insure the fabric of the property and loss of rental income without the business risks, then our property insurance department will be able to offer a quote.
Obtaining an insurance quote for your distribution/wholesale busines is quick and easy with our telephone call back facility. A helpful member of staff will be pleased to assist you. We are open hours to suit business owners who may find it inconvenient to call during day time hours.
Our Intasure business insurance policy provides a wide range of covers against all the usual perils a distribution business may possibly encounter. If you have a bank or other loan for your business, your lender may want to see that you have a suitable policy in force covering not only material risks such as damage to contents and stock.
We can offer cover for a full set of perils including accidental damage in respect of your Buildings, Contents, Stock, Electronic Equipment, Business Interruption, Rental Income, All Risks, Glass, Book Debts, Goods in Transit, Public Liability, Products Liability, Employers Liability, Deterioration of Stock, and Loss of License.

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) Sherrod Wright scored 21 points to lead George Mason to a 57-46 win over Hofstra on Saturday.
Wright, who went 8 of 18 from the floor, was the only player to score in double figures for the Patriots (11-7, 4-2 Colonial Athletic Association), who have won four of their last five games.
Hofstra trimmed George Mason's lead to 37-36 on Moussa Kone's free throw with 12:22 left in the second half. But the Pride (5-13, 2-3) were unable to pull ahead, and the Patriots later pushed their advantage to 11 points - their largest of the game - on Jonathan Arledge's layup with 2:15 remaining.
Taran Buie scored 14 points with six turnovers for Hofstra, which has lost two straight games. Stevie Mejia finished with 10 points and Stephen Nwaukoni grabbed 12 rebounds.
George Mason shot 40 percent from the floor compared to the Pride, who shot 22.9 percent.

If you like Aston Martins, we're sorry for making your head explode.
Welcome to Morning Would, where we present you with some of the most desirable, controversial cars ever built and ask what you would do to drive one.
This is a fight between the past and the future of Aston Martin.
The One-77 is a technological tour de force. It's the fastest, most expensive car Aston has ever made. It's incredibly rare and incredibly quick. Take it to your local track and it's unlikely anyone will have anything as interesting.
Take the DB5, and you might be shown up by some 22 year old in an FR-S. But you will have what may well be the most famous, and possibly most attractive, car on earth. The DB5 may not have been Aston's best, Aston's fastest, or Aston's first, but it nonetheless has come to define the brand.
So which would you have? Concours or colossus? If you think you can even decide, let us know what conclusion you come to in the comments.

Denver beats North Dakota to reach final five
ST. PAUL, Minn. " Freshman Anthony Maiani scored with 1:20 left in regulation to lift Denver to a 3-1 win over North Dakota on Friday in the semifinals of the WCHA Final Five.
Maiani raced down the right side with North Dakota defenseman Joe Finley in his path the entire way, and just before getting to the goal line, he scooped a backhanded shot past Fighting Sioux goaltender Jean-Philippe Lamoureaux.
Matt Glasser added an empty net goal in the closing seconds and Peter Mannino made 32 saves to send the Pioneers into Saturday's tournament final against the winner of the semifinal between WCHA regular-season champion Colorado College and Minnesota.
The game-winner came after North Dakota tied the score early in the third period on a hardworking goal by Taylor Chorney. Denver's Rhett Rakhshani got the game's first goal on a power play in the second period.
It's the second straight game-winning goal for Maiani. He had the only score of the Pioneers' 1-0 win over Minnesota Duluth last weekend to clinch a first-round series sweep in Denver.
After killing off a pair of 5-on-3 power plays, the Pioneers used a man advantage to get on the board first. Rakhshani beat Lamoureaux short side from a deep angle early in the second period to give the Pioneers a 1-0 lead.
North Dakota tied the score early in the second period when Chorney worked the puck free after getting his point-blank shot blocked by Peter Mannino, who let the puck get free behind him in the crease. Chorney set up the play moments earlier by keeping the puck in the zone at the blue line.
Lamoureaux made 26 saves for the Sioux.
Tempers flared in the final minute of the first period when it appeared the Sioux had scored. Mannino made two saves and covered up beneath a pile of bodies, and after some pushing around the goal light flashed on. As referees tried to restore order, players squared off in the Denver end of the ice. Three players from each side were called for unsportsmanlike conduct, and after a long video review it was ruled that the puck never crossed the goal line.
Denver is now 3-0 against North Dakota in the Final Five, winning 2-1 in overtime in the 2005 semifinals and 4-3 in 1999 final. The Pioneers also snapped a three-game losing streak to the Sioux, a skid that includes a 5-4 North Dakota win Feb 15. in Grand Forks in which Denver blew a 4-1 lead.
Denver is in the Final Five championship game for the first time since 2006, when the Pioneers beat Colorado College 1-0 for their sixth WCHA playoff title.

Enter your email to be notified when it's available:
We were just two regular finance bros from Stanford that one day looked up from our Excel spreadsheets and realized we needed to quit our jobs and take a trip to Bali to create a line of recycled surfboards that empower orphans to get into venture capital… just kidding.
But seriously, we are two regular guys with an obsessive love for bandanas, and we figured we'd share this love with the world.
Bandanas are amazing because you can rock them as a statement piece while also protecting your neck from the ravages of the sun. Form and function, win-win.
We've been loving and wearing bandanas basically since birth, but we felt the current bandana game could be improved. So we started our company and created the three pillars of Mister Bandana, which go into every bandana we sell:
1. Look GOOD - Keep it fresh and use bold designs that look amazing and take the traditional paisley game to the next level. Your body is a unique masterpiece and it deserves to be wrapped in bandanas that enhance your hotness.
2. Feel GOOD - We searched high and low to source 100% cotton for that soft yet rough feel. We use only nontoxic water-based dyes. Our high-performance bandanas work in the heat of summer, in the cold depths of winter, at the beach, in the club, and underwater.
3. Make it GOOD - We support local manufacturers, and only use USA-grown cotton.
We hope you love our bandanas.

Little-master Cups. The Art of Miniature in Attic Black-Figure Vases
From Wednesday June 4 till Sunday June 8, 2014
Again this year, the Brussels Ancient Art Fair is organising an exhibition entitled Little-master Cups. The Art of Miniature in Attic Black-Figure Vases. This exhibition will highlight the extreme refinement of these objects: the combination of the formal beauty of the cup (kylix) and the sobriety of the painted decoration. BAAF wishes to express its gratitude to all those who have worked on this exhibition, to the lenders, in particular the Allard Pierson Museum (Amsterdam), the Musée d'Art Classique (Mougins) and especially to the person who agreed to oversee this exhibition, Prof. Dr Herman Brijder, a world authority on Greek ceramics.

Travel Insurance » General
I am a professional sportsperson going abroad for participating in a sports meet. Will my overseas travel insurance hold good?
Your normal overseas health insurance policy will be loaded by 100% if you are a professional , semi professional , amateur sportsperson and are participating in an activity considered to be high risk by the insurer. However, if you are participating in an activity such as chess, carrom and other such activities that do not require much physical exertion, your normal policy will hold good.
If you are participating,for leisure or otherwise, in dangerous sports such as parachuting, hang gliding, bungee jumping, polo, racing, mountaineering, diving, shipping and others in the dangerous sports category,then your normal overseas health insurance policy will be loaded by 200%.
In any such case, approval is required from the insurer.

I know I've been a lot quieter than usual. The truth is that this post has been sitting in my drafts folder for almost two weeks, and every time that I pull it up to try to put my current thoughts into words I stumble, not quite sure what to say. The truth is that I'm really struggling with WoW right now, a lot. And I've been spending a whole lot of time asking myself what I should do – what happens when you start to fall out of love with something that has been a defining aspect of your life for so long?
I think part of the reason that I've been putting it off is because I wasn't sure if my thoughts are directly related to my time in game or if they are being colored by a plethora of other things happening in my life right now – and the truth is that I'm still not sure. While I do think that some of what I'm feeling with regards to WoW right now is my life bleeding in, I also think that it has only highlighted feelings that were already there – not creating new ones.
Where to start? I think I've laid out my love affair with WoW previously – so maybe I should talk about the bumps in the road. I suppose since I'm being honest, they feel more like giant mountains right now than bumps. Giant mountains that I'm not entirely sure I am capable of scaling.
I am unhappy with my class. I know that some people say they don't feel that there are problems with our class and feel they are doing just fine. I am not one of those people. Hard modes, for me, have done nothing but place a giant spotlight on the shortcomings of the resto druid toolbox and many raid nights I spend the night feeling frustrated and ineffective. I have been reduced to screaming at my monitor trying to deal with black phase Zon'ozz on more than one occasion – and sit on pins and needles every week on Morchok hoping that the other healers on my side are able to get off one more heal to make sure someone doesn't die (some of this is probably bleed over from shit happening outside of the game, which is exacerbating my in game frustrations). It's also very disheartening to go to EJ and see things like "Druids are the worst class for xyz and you shouldn't bring any", or to know that some of my druid friends are being sat or asked to bring in priests/paladins for progression on certain encounters.
I am unhappy with my progression. I've never been in a top whatever guild. And usually I'm OK with that. But I also have the expectation of moving through progression content at a moderate pace that makes me feel good about what I'm doing. And right now we aren't moving through at a pace that satisfies me as a player. We have spent two weeks struggling with Zon'ozz – and still aren't there yet (although we are close, it's just a matter of tweaking our DPS, as we are hitting the enrage timer). Some of that has been to adjusting our strategy a few times early on due to what we have available on our raid roster, but some of it has been performance by our raid team as a whole, which I can honestly say disappoints me as both a leader and a player. Perhaps more as an individual player who is busting their ass every night, while feeling that not 100% of the raid is doing the same, I suppose.
This, in turn, has made this tier of content pretty miserable for me to date. Miserable to the point that I've spent the better part of this month looking for a silver lining, a reason to continue pushing so hard. It's been a challenge to bifurcate how much of my frustration is from the game, and how much of it has been other things bleeding in – but the external issues are only highlighting underlying frustrations that for all intents and purposes are already there, I just have less patience and/or desire to deal with them. And I'm not sure if that's a good thing, a bad thing or just is. What I am sure of is that I'm about one more person being an asshole during a raid from throwing up my hands and saying "you know what, I don't need this shit".
I am frustrated with my guild. This one makes me a little sad to put on my list, but I'd be lying to myself if it wasn't here. It's hard to tell how much of this is spill over from our progression struggles, how much of it is spill over from Rag burnout, or how much of it is me being unhappy in a home that I spent years building into something I was proud of – and subsequently feeling like I don't have a place in that home anymore. Like someone is dismantling it brick by brick, until there is nothing left but a pile of rubble on the ground, reducing it to a ruin, a shadow of what it used to be. And no matter how hard I try to add fresh mortar and restack those bricks, it seems like for every one I am able to restore, five more fall down.
I've put up posts to my guild telling them how I feel. Letting them know what they can do to help. And yet night after night it becomes more clear to me that it doesn't matter to a good many people. And that's devastating to me, especially right now when I'm already struggling emotionally. It constantly amazes me how little people think about what might be going on in someone's life outside of the game, and how even the smallest thing that they may say or do may have a huge, unintentional, impact on someone else, and rather than taking ten seconds to filter what they say or how they say it, they turn off their brain to mouth filter and just pop out the first thing that comes to mind. How completely careless people can be with their thoughts and words in an online environment. And how utterly tired I am of feeling like a playground referee.
There are those who are worried I'm going to crack, can see that I'm close, and who follow up with me to make sure I'm ok. And that means the world to me. But for every one person who gives a shit, there is someone who is equally as selfish, careless and thoughtless in their words and actions. Not just towards me, but anyone. Where I used to feel like part of a unified team, now I just feel like part of a group of people who tolerate each other enough to kill shit in a video game. And that just saddens me. A whole lot. Especially since I feel responsible for that team – and every person on that team, and it's morphing into something I really dislike but feel impotent to stop.
Where does that leave me? The problem is that the biggest draw in the game for me has always been endgame progression raiding. I've always enjoyed it and my place in it. And right now, it's making me borderline miserable almost every night that we raid. I think I could probably deal better with our lack of progression if I was actually enjoying the time I was spending wiping. But I'm not, and perhaps that is at the root of a lot of what I'm feeling and struggling with.
I've loved my druid since spamming Rank 4 healing touch on a tank was the way to heal. I've survived all of the bumps along the road – and every change that Blizzard has thrown at me. But right now I do not enjoy healing on my class. It's frustrating to feel like you are giving it everything you've got to offer – only to have it feel insufficient and feel like anything I can do, someone else can do better (yes, that is a musical reference – 10 points for anyone who knows where it's from). It sucks to feel like you are a liability to your raid team. It sucks to have to say "I can't do this, and need help" – especially when you were always able to tackle anything previously and make it work, regardless of how challenging it may have been.
I have been through Hell and high water with my guild – and I've never felt this disconnected. I've never felt this frustrated or lost. I said awhile ago that my guild was one of the three things keeping me going in WoW – and night after night I feel pushed further and further away from something that I spent every last ounce of energy sustaining. Right now I feel like my energy pool is tapping out and failing to recharge. And the truth is that I don't know what to do about it. How do you admit that you are starting to loathe something you've loved for so long? How do you repair it so that you might love it again? How do you know if you are only hanging on out of pride and obligation – or if you really want to rekindle the romance again?
What I'm left with is a lot of questions, and no easy answers. Isn't that just like life? I'd like to say that I've never been a quitter – but that's not true. I ran away from a music career that I loved because I was afraid of failure, afraid I wouldn't be good enough or strong enough to endure the struggles that I would have faced as a successful and skilled musician. And I've regretted that every day of my adult life. Every day. And I promised myself a long time ago I wouldn't run away from anything ever again because I was afraid. It's why my forum signature on most forums reads "What would you attempt if you knew you couldn't fail". Because it reminds me that if I don't try, I'll never know what I could have accomplished.
But at what point does being stubborn, even if it is making you miserable, outweigh your pride? At what point do you need to step back and ask "what is best for me" when you come to a crossroads and become selfish? At what point do you wave the white flag of surrender?
It seems so easy for some people to answer these questions – so why is it so hard for me?
I don't expect you to have any answers. How could you, when I don't have them for myself? And the truth is that I'm really the only person who can find those answers. I just thought it was fair to let you know why it's been so quiet – and why there may be some periods of quiet moving forward. I have a lot of mixed signals and emotions running through my head – and it's very hard to write about something when you have so many unanswered questions and conflicting feelings surrounding a topic you've been writing about for almost three years. So please forgive me if I'm slow on posting. Please forgive me if guides aren't timely. Please forgive me if I seem melancholy. Right now I'm just trying to find perspective, and hoping that in doing so I might find that my love affair isn't quite finished just yet.

It's been 13 long years since Honda did any major redesigning of its stair-stumblin' Asimo robot . Now, they're about ready to unveil P4, the fourth version of Asimo. Update: It turns out the P4 is just a new, old Asimo.
As our friend Tim explains, the Asimo P4 isn't an updated version of Honda's robot. Rather, it's a prototype for the first Asimo that was unveiled in 2000. It was shown off in Japan at that time but, as PlasticPals mentions, went largely undocumented until now. The successor to the original Asimo was the New Asimo, which was released in 2005. So the blue-breasted P4 isn't an Asimo that will be; it's an Asimo that almost was.
P4 looks a bit more lithe than the P3, although it's still definitely a big clunky robot that I wouldn't expect to be able to beat anybody in a fast walking contest. But with 34 joints and a more flexible waist, it's supposed to be able to dance better than ever before. And if a robot can't dance, what good is it? There are no videos of the P4 in action available yet, unfortunately. [Response via PlasticPals via CrunchGear]

Ex-IPL boss Modi alleges murder attempts
Disgraced Indian Premier League founder Lalit Modi has said he survived three attempts on his life for refusing to fix matches in the cash-rich Twenty20 event, a new book reveals.
Lalit Modi made the allegations in the book "Bookie Gambler Fixer Spy: A Journey to the Heart of Cricket's Underworld" written by British journalist Ed Hawkins.
Modi, who was sacked from the IPL by Indian cricket chiefs in 2010 over allegations of corruption and money-laundering and now lives in London, told the writer of the assassination attempts by the underworld.
In Mumbai in March, 2009, Modi says "there was a shoot-out outside my house and one guy got killed and one got picked up."
The other attempts came in South Africa in April of the same year and in Phuket, Thailand, in January 2010. On each occasion Modi was warned by the police or the intelligence agencies, the book says.
Modi alleges that spot-fixing, in which cricketers fix a particular element of the game but not the overall result, was widespread, but was "almost impossible to prove", according to excerpts sent to AFP from the book's publisher.
"Spot-fixing is rife in the game. And I'm talking globally," Modi is quoted as saying in the book. "It's a Pandora's box. It's staring you straight in the face, but difficult to prove. Almost impossible to prove."
Modi insisted he believed the IPL was clean, but could not say for certainty if everything in the tournament or other matches was corruption-free.
"I think it (IPL) was clean, but I could never, sitting here today, categorically tell you that we picked up everything for spot-fixing, and that goes for all games, not just IPL," Modi said.
He added: "We had to warn players from time to time. We found undesirable elements in the stadium and removed them. We found them touring with players or managers of players who were in touch with bookmakers and we removed them.
"The players have to be the ones who take responsibility. It's their game."
Three Pakistan players -- Test captain Salman Butt and fast bowlers Mohammad Aamer and Mohammad Asif -- plus their agent Mazhar Majeed were last year found guilty of spot-fixing during the 2010 Lord's Test against England and jailed.
All the three were released earlier this year after completing half of their sentences.
Uncapped Indian fast bowler T. P. Sudhindra was in June handed a life ban by the Indian cricket board for spot-fixing in a local match, while four other domestic players were also punished.
A statement by publishers of Hawkins' book say its aim is to "get under the fingernails of the bookmakers, punters and fixers who seek to corrupt cricket."
Hawkins was given the names of 45 former and current international and domestic cricketers who are alleged to have been involved in corrupt activities. None were named for legal reasons, the publishers said.
All the information gathered in researching the book has been passed to the International Cricket Council's Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU), they added.

Scoble's Web 2010 – Owen's Web 2012
I truly enjoy Robert's perspective on Technology and Social Media, not too mention he is fun to follow on FriendFeed & Twitter too. Robert is very helpful if you approach him the right way, I find him to be respectful, approachable, a solid resource and entertaining. 🙂 In May of this year (2009) Robert Scoble posted an article on his Blog called Exploring The 2010 Web, he covers a number of points on what the 2010 Web is and or is going to be.
Here are the Attributes he listed for us,
Web 2010
1.) It's Real-Time
2.) It's Mobile
3.) It's decentralized
4.) Pages now built out of pre-made blocks.
5.) It's Social
6.) It's Smart
7.) Hybrid Infrastructure
I linked to his article above so you can read his definitions in more detail.
Now I agree with Robert's list for the most part with some additions, I know he knows what I'm adding is coming and he probably will be one of the first (early adopter's) to play with the new toys. This is not an exhaustive list but you'll get the picture of our where we are headed.
Here are my additions and I like to call,
Web 2012
1.) In 2012 you will be able to buy off the shelf a computer (device) that can compute faster than the human brain.
2.) Virtual Reality is where we will spend our leisure time
3.) We will not use keyboards, voice recognition will be our method of instructing our device's what to do
4.) Tower's will cease production
5.) Laptop production will be vastly reduced
6.) Wireless devices will be integrated into eye care (Glasses and Contact Lenses)
7.) iPHONE'S & BlackBerry type devices will also be greatly reduced in size
When it's all said and done, you merge these two lists and you have considerable change ahead of us. We are entering an era where Nanotechnology and Virtual Reality will make exponential strides in development and growth, unlike anything we have ever seen. How we communicate will continue to change, communities will continue to grow as we the people take back big business.
I wonder what else might take place in the next 2 – 5 years?

I wasn't sure I'd heard him right.
I was a senior in high school, and I was staring at NBA legend Red Auerbach. He'd coached the Boston Celtics to nine championships in 10 years, won seven more as an executive, and, a bit less notably, gotten his first coaching job at our school way back when. He was 85 years old, but he lived nearby and had finally agreed to come back to be feted.
We piled into the gym and buzzed as Auerbach ascended the make-shift stage at center court. There were introductions and congratulations and then it was his turn to talk. He was old, but still sharp. He regaled us with an embellished, if not apocryphal, story about how his proudest coaching victory had come at our school. That was back in 1941, and the score had been something like 10 to 8. There was also something about yelling at the son of a senator—this was a preppy, all-boys school in Washington D.C.—for trying an around-the-back pass.
Then Auerbach turned to life lessons. "Everybody always asks me how to gain a competitive edge," he said, "and I'm always surprised because the answer is so obvious." Eighteen-year old me knew where this was going. He was going to tell us to work hard, that successful people prepare for their luck, yada, yada, yada.
"You cheat."
Our teachers looked confused, then horrified. They kept waiting for Auerbach to say he was just kidding, that of course there's no substitute for hard work. He didn't. Instead, he calmly explained that if you're playing a better fast-breaking team, you should install nets so tight that the ball gets stuck. Or if you're playing a faster baseball team, you should water the basepaths till they turn into muddy quagmires that nobody can run on. But most of all, he wanted to make sure we didn't misunderstand him. He cleared his throat, and said, "So, if you want a competitive edge, just cheat." Then he walked off stage, and the mayor's mother, who was inexplicably there, led us in a solemn rendition of America the Beautiful.
That brings us to high-frequency trading (HFT) hedge funds. These funds use computer algorithms—a.k.a.: algobots—to buy and sell stocks at incredible speeds. We're talking milliseconds. The idea is to react to any market news or inefficiencies before actual humans can process them. And it's an idea that has taken over stock trading: algobots make up about half of all stock transactions in 2012 (which is actually down from its peak of 61 percent).
It's Wall Street at its most socially useless. HFT funds aren't allocating capital to where they think it'll be most productive. HFT funds are allocating capital to where they think other people will put it 50 milliseconds from now. It's a tax on everybody else. And it's a tax that has basically no benefit. Sure, HFT funds defend themselves by saying they're increasing liquidity, but increasing liquidity is the last refuge of bullshitters. Just look at the chart to the left from Felix Salmon. It shows that the cost of trading has fallen as our computerized markets have become more liquid, but almost all of the drop happened before HFT. Economist Paul Samuelson had it right all the way back in 1957: knowing (or trading) something one second before everyone else is personally profitable and socially pointless.
And it's becoming more pointless now that markets are an algobot battleground. HFT funds aren't trading as much anymore, because there aren't enough humans to trade with. Algobots just quote each other prices. As Salmon points out, there were 280,000 quotes in a 17-minute span to trade the EFZ back in September 2012. But there were zero actual trades during that time. It's no surprise then that HFT funds are desperate for any kind of competitive advantage. So, like Red Auerbach suggested, they cheat. Now, what they do is strictly legal, but that doesn't make the game any less rigged. The Wall Street Journal reports that HFT funds buy early access to data from third-party distributors—everything from corporate earnings to the Philadelphia Fed's manufacturing survey. They're getting the numbers just fractions of a second early, but that's more than enough in the world of high-frequency trading.
There's a big difference between buying early access to public data and early access to private data. The University of Michigan, for example, sells the rights to its Survey of Consumers to Reuters for $1 million a year. Reuters then sells early access to it either five minutes before the public gets it or five minutes and two second before—for the HFT crowd that wants to frontrun the frontrunners. It's a horribly unlevel playing field (and we should tax some of it away), but, as Matt Levine points out, the University of Michigan might stop doing the survey if they couldn't make money off it.
But earnings reports and Fed data are different. The private sector isn't paying for the creation of a public good when it buys a sneak peek at them. The private sector is just profiting off existing public goods. If a company sold hedge funds an early look at their earnings, it'd be insider trading. But when a third-party like Business Wire sells hedge funds an early, albeit split-second, look at corporate earnings, it's perfectly legal. It's nuts. As Paul Krugman argues, we need a financial transactions tax—something like 0.1 percent on all trades—to make this kind of socially useless speculation personally useless too. Long-term investors wouldn't notice this small a tax, but ultra-short-term investors would: their warp speed trading would become less profitable and less prevalent.
I'm pretty sure—or at least I hope—that Red Auerbach was kidding when he told a gym full of kids to cheat to get ahead. But it's how too much of Wall Street operates today. And it makes a mockery of the idea that they've "earned" their wealth.

Clean Energy Standard: Another Energy Tax in Disguise
On 03.07.12 12:30 PM posted by David Kreutzer, Ph.D.
When are we going to be honest about the impact of clean energy standards, renewable energy standards, cap and trade, and all the other policies to cut energy use under the guise of helping future generations? These policies are not things we do for our grandchildren; they are things we would do to them. The costs are hugely back loaded onto future generations, while the front-end costs are often fictionalized with unrealistic assumptions about carbon-reduction strategies.
On March 1, Senator Jeff Bingaman (DNM) proposed a national Clean Energy Standard (CES). Clean Energy Standards are modifications of the Renewable Energy Standards that have been proposed before and have been enacted by several states and regions. The primary modifications allow nuclear power (or some of it) to count as clean energy and give partial credit for other sources such as natural gas. (Since carbon dioxide is odorless, invisible, and non-toxic, it is Orwellian doublethink to label CO2 dirty.) The standard mandates minimum percentages of electric power that must be generated from clean energy sources.
One of the little-known facts about cap-and-trade bills is that 85 percent or more of the carbon reductions would come from the electric power industry alone. So, though a CES may cover only the power industry, it can have economic costs that are almost as big as cap and trade.
Last year, Senator Bingaman requested an Energy Information Administration (EIA) analysis of several clean energy proposals. As with the low-ball estimates of costs done for the cap-and-trade bills, the analyses of Bingamans clean energy standards assume huge increases in new nuclear capacity and commercialization of carbon capture and storage.
These assumptions, however, are wildly unrealistic. Though the technical capacity exists for expanding nuclear capacity over the next two or three decades, the regulatory and waste disposal hurdles that stand in the way of significant capacity expansion are not addressed in the Bingaman bill. Proponents of carbon capture and storage (CCS) cant point to a single commercial-scale project. Full, wide-scale deployment of CCSand the possibly more problematic disposal of liquefied CO2is still a pipe dream.
Different analyses of renewable energy standards (RES) had widely varying estimates of economic impact. An analysis of one bill by the EIA projected electricity price increases of only 3 percent. On the other hand, a Heritage Foundation analysis of a generic RES projected increases of 36 percent or more by 2035.
Last month, a study by Robert Bryce of the Manhattan Institute looked at the current prices charged for electricity across states. He found that states with renewable standards had residential electricity rates that are already more than 30 percent higher than states without a renewable standard. The impact is clearer when comparing coal-dependent states with a renewable standard to coal-dependent states without a renewable standard. Those with a renewable mandate saw their residential electricity prices rise at double the rate of coal-dependent states without the mandate between 2001 and 2010. A maximum price impact of 3 percent does not seem plausible given these facts.
What todays clean energy standards have going for them that earlier plans to restrict carbon dioxide did not is the currently low price of natural gas. Ifin contrast to our experience over the past several decadesnatural gas prices remain low and stable, the big costs of Bingamans CES would not fully come into play until after the end of the EIA analysis time period (2035), when the partial clean energy credit for natural gas would not be enough to meet the tighter requirements as the standard ratchets down. What will our children and grandchildren do then? If they are smart, they would consider repealing any energy-killing mandates we dumped on them.

Continue to use your existing CD changer
Another unique feature of the Xcarlink is that you can still continue to use your existing CD Changer (6CD/multi-disk). Other products on the market would force you to disconnect your CD changer as it occupies the CD changer port on your stereo, however the Xcarlnk has a loop-through input which allows you to keep your CD changer, it will function as normal while the iPod is connected*
What if I do not have an iPod?

I completely forgot he still plays for us
McCarthy is back in training at Everton, although I don't remember Keoman saying how far he is off availability for selection. He has been named in the Ireland squad for the forthcoming World Cup games including the cruncher with Wales. Should Koerman resume hostilities with O'Neill if McCarthy is picked to play for his country without getting a game at Everton first?
I still think he has something to offer, he was never an awful player the way people seem to go on.

PI Associate Faculty Member Michele Mosca has been named one of Canada's Top 40 Under 40TM.
The award, announced in The Globe and Mail, recognizes 40 young Canadians whose leadership has made positive differences in their communities and the country as a whole.
Honourees were selected from a field of over 1,000 nominees by an independent advisory board of Canadian business leaders. Criteria for selection included vision and leadership, innovation and achievement, and impact, among others.
"Professor Mosca is an exceptional scientist and a remarkable young leader," commented PI Director Neil Turok. "His efforts were crucial to the establishment of both Perimeter and the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo. His leadership and many scientific achievements have helped make Waterloo one of the top centres worldwide in the exciting new science of quantum computing, a field which holds enormous potential for future technologies."
"I'm very honoured and thankful to be counted among such a prestigious group of Canadians," said Mosca. "I'm grateful for the opportunity to meet this remarkable group of people and gain further inspiration and ideas for the future."
Professor Mosca has made major contributions to the theory and practice of quantum information processing, particularly in the areas of quantum algorithms, and in quantum cryptography, which harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics to ensure data security.
Together with collaborators at Oxford, Mosca realized several of the first implementations of quantum algorithms using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. After earning his doctorate at Oxford, Mosca returned to his native Canada with the vision of establishing a world-class research group to investigate the emerging science of quantum information.
In 1999, he returned to Canada, and later joined the nascent Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics (PI) as a founding researcher and began assembling a core team of quantum information researchers. This convergence of top scientists led Mike Lazaridis, co-founder and co-CEO of Research in Motion, to fund a new research centre devoted specifically to quantum information — the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo. The two institutes have since established Waterloo as a worldwide epicentre for quantum computing research.
In addition to his leadership in establishing PI and IQC, Mosca has made key contributions to the theoretical foundations of quantum computing, developing what are now textbook approaches to quantum algorithms and methods for studying their limitations. In the area of quantum security, he helped to define the notion of private quantum channels which offer optimal methods for encrypting quantum information, and to develop a paradigm and tools for computing with untrusted quantum apparatus. He also co-authored An Introduction to Quantum Computing, a key textbook in the field. In addition to his appointment at Perimeter, Professor Mosca holds the Canada Research Chair in Quantum Computation at the University of Waterloo. He is also a Fellow of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR).
"This award symbolizes work that I couldn't have done without the encouragement and guidance of many exceptional people," said Mosca. "Our goal has been to become the 'Quantum Valley' of the world. We have been laying a foundation in Canada, with invaluable support from private, provincial and federal funding. I'd like us to build on that foundation by making major breakthroughs and nurturing the next generation of quantum researchers, to turn the breakthroughs into benefits for society."
