Tow planes loft each passenger flight airborne, sending planes thousands of feet up into the sky before leaving pilots and their guests gliding through the atmosphere without the noisy distraction of a typical flight. Each flight is different?sailplanes may gain altitude in thermal updrafts before bottoming out stomachs with daring dives. Picnic tables and couches cluster around the hangar, giving friends and family a comfortable place to watch soaring flights. Students eager to earn their own glider rating and fly solo can take advantage of Cross Country Soaring's experienced instructors, learning the ropes under the hawk-like eyes of seasoned pros.
Scott Wardell gazed upon an open prairie, and had a vision. He imagined a farm?part orchard, part conservationist project?which grew fall fruits like apples and plums alongside the prairie's natural, essential hardwoods and evergreens. His vision became reality when he planted his first orchard in 1999, and he and his family haven't looked back.
Today, the crew at Montgomery Orchard hosts plenty of family friendly entertainments. They welcome visitors for self-guided tours through the beautiful prairie, and also invite them to come pluck ten varieties of apples?not to mention pears and plums?fresh from the trees during harvest season. After baskets are filled, they take guests to an old-fashioned cider press, where they can squeeze their own cider, which they can then take home or trade to scarecrows in the corn maze in exchange for a map to the exit.

It was a night Al Jefferson probably wants to forget, thanks to Utah's swarming defense.
Returning to EnergySolutions Arena for the first time after three season as a member of the Jazz, Jefferson struggled to make shots Monday and finished with an inefficient 18 points during Utah's 83-80 victory over Charlotte.
Getting defensive
The Jazz limit Charlotte to 36.9 percent shooting in an 83-80 win over the Bobcats.
Ex-Jazz center Al Jefferson scores 18 points, but he misses 15 of his 23 field-goal attempts.
Charlotte's point-total of 80 is a season-low by a Jazz opponent.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Jefferson's new teammates didn't fare much better.
The Bobcats managed only 53 points through the first three quarters and ended up shooting 36.9 percent as a team.
Charlotte's 80 points was a season-low by a Utah opponent.
Asked about his team's post defense on Jefferson, coach Tyrone Corbin said, "It was huge, especially knowing Al and how dominant he can be down there. ...I thought we did a decent job."
Referring to Jazz centers Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter, Corbin added, "They did a good job of fighting him off his spots. And the secondary guys did a good job of giving him different looks."
The Jazz were also effective against Kemba Walker, the veteran point guard who is Charlotte's other major offensive threat.
Like Jefferson, Walker scored 18 points. But he went 6-for-17 from the field, meaning the Bobcats' leading scorers this season were a combined 14 of 40 against Utah.
"We're working," Corbin said. "We're understanding to communicate and how we have to communicate to be effective -- especially against go-to guys like Al."
The Jazz started the game by double-teaming Jefferson nearly every time in touched the ball. He took only six shots in the first quarter and two in the second. He had only six points at halftime.
"We've seen him a ton so we know, when he gets the ball in his spots, he has an advantage against anyone in this league," said Corbin.
Jefferson missed two big shots in the final seconds.
The Jazz owned a 78-77 lead when his inside jumper dribbled off the rim.
After Utah bumped its lead to 80-77, Jefferson stepped outside and missed a three-pointer with 10.1 seconds left.
Favors, the first line of defense against Jefferson most of the game, smiled after Utah held its fourth opponent in the last seven games under 100 points.
"Al is going to be Al," Favors said. "He's going to make hook shots. He's going to make jump shots. He's one of those type of players. The only thing I can do is make it tough."

Sometimes legal fishing expeditions pay off.
A year ago, a Connecticut hedge fund sued UBS, contending that it knowingly sold toxic mortgage-backed securities to institutional investors but never disclosed that information.
At the time, the accusation by the fund, Pursuit Partners, seemed intriguing. But because the complaint lacked any sign that it had the beef to back up its potentially explosive claim, the litigation all but fell off the radar screen.
Now, it appears the hedge fund managers were onto something, thanks to a Connecticut state judge's decision to allow Pursuit's lawyers to get limited access to some of UBS' internal emails.
In some of the emails, the investment firm's employees describe the $35 million in collateralized debt obligations sold to Pursuit in summer 2007 as "crap" and "vomit."
At first glance, it might be easy to chalk this up as simply another case of Wall Street bankers peddling securities they privately thought were junk.

Bloomberg News
NEW YORK - Fitch Ratings said its negative outlook on the U.S.'s AAA credit ranking is still unlikely to change before late 2013 as it waits to assess any deficit- reduction plans following this year's elections.
Brian Bertsch, a Fitch spokesman in New York, said in an e- mail today to Bloomberg News, that anyone who has questions about the status of the rating should review the statement put out by the company in July.
While the U.S.'s top grade is "underpinned" by factors including the nation's diversified and productive economy and financial flexibility from the dollar's status as the reserve currency, the outlook "reflects the risks associated with the lack of broad public and political agreement on how to secure deficit reduction," Fitch said July 10 in a statement.

An Epic Adventure
Last September I relived the legend in, appropriately, a Subaru Outback, driving from Adelaide to Darwin with Motor Trend photographer Julia LaPalme and videographer Jim Gleason. Today, more than half a century after my parents' epic road trip, the 1,880-mile Stuart Highway is now paved, though it's only a two-lane highway and still the only direct route between Adelaide and Darwin. Alice Springs is now a city of 27,000 souls, but it's still the largest settlement for about 1,000 miles in any direction.
South Australia's Flinders Ranges are small by U.S. standards, but picturesque.
The outback is still the outback.
We covered nearly 3,500 miles in 10 days, loosely following in my parents' wheel tracks, but detouring to take in some of Australia's most iconic landscapes along the way. These included Uluru/Ayers Rock, Kings Canyon, Katherine Gorge, and Kakadu. Just 40 miles of that distance was freeway, and almost 800 miles was on dirt roads and occasional four-wheel drive tracks. As with my parents' trip, rare rains made some of the dirt roads challenging, but nothing stopped our 3.6-liter, Australian-spec Outback, which was often the only four-wheel drive vehicle on these roads that wasn't a burly Toyota Land Cruiser or Nissan Patrol.
The trip reinforced why we had selected the Outback as Motor Trend's 2010 Sport Utility of the Year: This is a vehicle of impressive bandwidth. It is a surprisingly competent mud plugger and rock crawler; it will cruise all day at 60 mph on a rough and dusty desert road; and it will loaf along at a relaxed 80 mph on the blacktop. We averaged just over 21 mpg for the distance, useful when you're paying more than $7.00 a gallon at an outback gas station.
I thought about my parents' trip as we traveled in air-conditioned comfort from south Australia's lush wine district, through desert country where kangaroos bounded across red sand dunes, to tropical bushland where saltwater crocodiles basked on mud banks. In 1955, you could journey through America's heartland, traveling from motel to motel, with Dinah Shore singing "See the USA in Your Chevrolet" on the car radio. In Australia in 1955, you never knew whether you might need to bag a kangaroo for breakfast if your car broke down on a deserted stretch of outback road. So my parents rode with a Winchester Model 1873 rifle strapped under the seat of their old Dodge.
Our journey through the outback in a Subaru Outback had been a breeze by comparison. Even so, as I stood in the steamy tropical heat overlooking Darwin Harbor, it felt like it had been an epic adventure.
The full story of MacKenzie's drive across Australia in the Subaru Outback can be read in the March 2011 edition of Motor Trend. For bonus features and video, check out the March 2011 Motor Trend iPad® edition or www.motortrend.com.

Detroit, MICH - An action packed day of Unlimited Hydroplane racing in Detroit as the race for the Gold Cup got started for 2012, including a scary flip in Heat 1C when Mike Webster in the U-22 went upside down right between two other boats.Full story of U-22 Flip with Photos and Video >>
Heat 1A Results
Another matchup between the top two qualifiers. Villwock grabbed the lead and never looked back, winning by three roostertails.
Heat 1B Results:
Jimmy Shane took the lead in lane two coming out of the first turn with Scott Liddycoat and J. Michael Kelly right on his hip. All three boats stayed close throughout most of the race with Shane going out to nearly a roostertail lead over the other two in the third lap and holding on for the win.Great race for second place with Kelly barely edging out Liddycoat. Very strong run for Kelly and the U-37 after the crew repaired a cracked mount bracket in the skid fin.U-22 Flips in Heat 1-C
Heat 2A Results:
Steve David grabbed lane one, but it was Scott Liddycoat leading the field across the start line. At the Belle Island turn, Liddycoat had the lead with David right alongside. David put the hammer down and took the lead on the backstretch of lap one.Jimmy Shane hooked his boat and appeared to hit a buoy, but he managed to get back on track quickly without dislodging it.Meanwhile, David lengthened out his lead over Liddycoat in lap two and subsequent laps... BUT WAIT! Turns out David was too early to the score up buoy and Liddycoat had a lane violation. Both were assessed one lap penalties. So, despite finishing first and second, the U-6 and U-88 finish 3rd and 4th with Jimmy Shane taking the win.
Heat 2C Results:
The U-13 has been fighting engine problems all weekend and it continued into Heat 2C. The boat was in the water, but the fire kept going out and Phipps couldn't make it to the start.Meanwhile, Kelly flew past Villwock at the score up buoy and JMK moved into lane one. They were side by side at the start line of the now two-boat race. Coming out of the first turn, Villwock was just a bit ahead on the outside, but Kelly made a tight turn and was right on his hip.Villwock's top end speed put him out front at the end of lap one with Kelly just behind. The U-1 flew out to about a roostertail lead on the backstretch of lap two and started to stretch it out. By the end, Villwock had about a half a course lead as the boats settled in.Turns out both boats jumped the gun at the start of the race and had to take an extra lap.

PARKERSBURG, W.Va. (AP) — Parkersburg Police Chief Joe Martin says an officer accused of abusing a suspect has been reassigned to administrative duties.
Martin tells media outlets that the police department is conducting an internal investigation.
Twenty-four-year-old John Sadler's attorney says a video shows an officer putting his hands on Sadler's throat several times, shoving him against a wall and taking him down to the floor.
Morrison says the alleged abuse occurred in August while Sadler was being processed at the Wood County Holding Center. Sadler had been arrested on drunken driving and obstruction charges.
Wood County Prosecuting Attorney Jason Wharton says he has asked the West Virginia State Police to conduct an investigation.
The police chief says neither Sadler nor Morrison has filed a complaint with the police department.

Education leaders will not ask for veto of school grading bill
By Lisa Schencker
The Salt Lake TribuneFirst published Mar 20 2013 06:35PM
The governor is receiving significant pressure to veto a school grading bill, but the state school board is one group that won't be joining the fight.
After about two hours of debate, the board voted 5-5 on Wednesday against asking the governor to veto SB271. The bill lays out how Utah schools should be graded starting this year, but it mandates a different system than the one the State Office of Education has been working on since the original school grading law passed in 2011.
Opponents of the bill say it would create a system inferior to the one the State Office of Education has already designed, known as UCAS. They also say it could result in the state having two grading systems and that it was passed amid confusion caused by its late introduction, just two weeks before the end of the session.
Supporters, however, believe just the opposite. They say it wouldn't necessarily result in two systems and would more fairly hold schools accountable for student achievement and growth.
Christine Kearl, the governor's education director, said Wednesday the governor had not yet decided whether to veto SB271. But she said the opposition his office has received to the school grading bill is almost like that received last year over a controversial sex education bill.
Senate President Wayne Niederhauser, R-Sandy, who helped work on the legislation as well as the original law, said he doesn't believe SB271 would create a system very different from UCAS. He also noted that because UCAS was never formally put into law, if the governor vetoed SB271, the state could end up with a grading system based on the original 2011 law. That original law would make it tougher for schools to achieve high grades than either UCAS or SB271.
"If I'm advising the governor at this point, I'm going to say, 'If you veto the bill, you've got a worse situation,'" Niederhauser told the board.
But Rep. Craig Hall, R-West Valley City, said there was much confusion in the House shortly before its 38-36 vote in favor of SB271.
"I am aware of certain representatives who said they probably would have voted against [SB271] had they known there would be two grading systems," Hall said.
It's still somewhat unknown whether the bill truly would mean two grading systems. Because of the bill's late introduction, education leaders didn't have time to run analyses to determine how closely the system in SB271 would mirror UCAS.
If the two systems are very similar then the state may be able to use just one system, said State Superintendent Martell Menlove. But if they aren't similar then two systems may be required because the U.S. Department of Education has already given Utah permission to use UCAS as part of the state's waiver to No Child Left Behind.
The main difference between UCAS and SB271 is how they would credit schools for individual student achievement growth. UCAS gives schools different amounts of credit for different amounts of academic growth over a year. But SB271 would give schools full credit for a year's worth of academic growth and no credit for anything less than a full year of growth.
House members weren't the only ones confused over the bill. Kearl acknowledged that much of the opposition over SB271 coming to the governor's office is from people who don't seem to understand it and are instead basing their arguments on an earlier version of the bill.
Board members on Wednesday expressed frustration that lawmakers didn't discuss the bill earlier to give everyone more time to understand it. But state school board chairwoman Debra Roberts said perhaps the board should have pushed harder to find a lawmaker to run a bill that would have made UCAS law.
Board members considered Wednesday asking the governor to veto the bill and put it on a special session agenda to address concerns. But not enough members voted in favor of the motion for it to pass. Niederhauser said he'd be open to bringing the bill back in a special session if it ends up causing major problems but would otherwise prefer to consider changes to it next general session.

Product ID (Serial Number)
I have used GetVoulmeInformation API to get the Voulme Serial number of the drives. I used this with different type and it works well. But when i use this with CD-to-CD copied CD ROMS it gives the same volume serial numbers. why? Any solution?. I use this number to make the Product ID for Software. So this make duplicate numbers. Or any other methods I can use ?

Deploying And Product Serial Number
Hello Everyone,
I am developing a standalone application in VB6. Regarding deployment features of application my client has following requirements.
1) Each CD that is shipped out should have a product ID associated with it.
2) A customer should only be able to install the software on his machine (or for that matter only one machine). Once installed the CD should become somehow unavailable for use by other machines. Since the software is to be shipped to few select customer therefore we can ask the customer to provide some information before we ship the CD to them.
My question is what Installation Software should I look for and who can provide me this functionality rather cheaply.
Product Number
Can someone suggest the best way to generate a new product number when the user adds a new item?
I have a project that the user will be adding new product and I don't want the user to have to come up with a number, I want the program to give them the new number. I was using :
.txtProdID.Text = Format(.Adodc1.Recordset.AbsolutePosition, "0000") , which worked fine, until an item was deleted, that will generate a number that already exists. I am using Access, I know there is autonumber, but I was told, in class once, that it isn't good to use this, not sure why. (she told us it we used it we would be marked down) .
And if I do use autonumbering, how do I get that number to show in a lable when they start to add a new product?
Or is it best just to let them enter a number?
any ideas are appriciated

I want to make one of my products shareware and am trying to develope a way to generate serial numbers.
I thought a combination of the OS and the hard drive size, but then if the user upgrades their OS or gets a new hard drive, they'll have to re-register the software. I could always have a database so I can know if they've already registered and send them a new one, but that's a hassle.

Hello everyone (I'm actually up before noon ), anyways..I've got this program, someone sent it to me and it changes the serial number on your computer. It's a real program and all, no virus, or anything. I was wondering if changing your serial number will harm the computer at all in any way?
Serial Number With Api
I try to get the volume serial number information by using an Api:
Private Declare Function GetVolumeInformation Lib "kernel32" Alias
"GetVolumeInformationA" (ByVal lpRootPathName As String, ByVal
lpVolumeNameBuffer As String, ByVal nVolumeNameSize As Long,
lpVolumeSerialNumber As Long, lpMaximumComponentLength As Long,
lpFileSystemFlags As Long, ByVal lpFileSystemNameBuffer As String, ByVal
nFileSystemNameSize As Long) As Long
Sub Something()
r& = GetVolumeInformation(Drive$, VolName$, vLen&, VolSerial&,
ComponentLength&, Flags&, fSystem$, fLen&)
End Sub
The strange things are the following :
- vLen, VolSerial, ComponentLength and Flags will be returned by this
function, not the other values.
- by executing the same code within a vbw/dll or a vbp/exe, the VolSerial is
NOTsystematically the the same.
My configuration is as follows:
- two hard disks, C (fat 16) and D (ntfs), hard disk C has logical drives
numbered E, F... (all fat 16).
The Visual basic Programme is installed on physical drive D.
If vbp/exe and vbw/dll are installed on logical drive E, no problem: the
serial number given by the api-function is identical for both vbp/exe and
If vbp/exe and vbw/dll are installed on logical drive F, a problem arises :
the serial number given by the api-function is different for vbp/exe on the
one hand, and vbw/dll on the other.
Does somebody knows how te explain this ? The serial number is of course
used for protecting the program. The explanation is important when compiling
the program and testing it on a "clean" disk drive.

Hey guys, I've been writing a program, but want to try to keep it secure.... I wrote this little code, to randomly make a serial number...
Dim Part1 As String
Dim Part2 As String
Dim Part3 As String
Dim Part4 As String
Dim TheChar As String
Dim X As Integer
Randomize Timer
For X = 1 To 4
Part1 = Part1 & Chr(Int(Rnd * 25) + 65)
Next X
For X = 1 To 4
Part2 = Part2 & Chr(Int(Rnd * 25) + 65)
Next X
For X = 1 To 4
Part3 = Part3 & Chr(Int(Rnd * 25) + 65)
Next X
For X = 1 To 4
Part4 = Part4 & Chr(Int(Rnd * 25) + 65)
Next X
TheChar = Mid(Part1, Int(Rnd * 3) + 1, 1)
Part1 = Replace(Part1, TheChar, Asc(TheChar))
TheChar = Mid(Part2, Int(Rnd * 3) + 1, 1)
Part2 = Replace(Part2, TheChar, Asc(TheChar))
TheChar = Mid(Part3, Int(Rnd * 3) + 1, 1)
Part3 = Replace(Part3, TheChar, Asc(TheChar))
TheChar = Mid(Part4, Int(Rnd * 3) + 1, 1)
Part4 = Replace(Part4, TheChar, Asc(TheChar))
MsgBox Part1 & "-" & Part2 & "-" & Part3 & "-" & Part4
That code aint bad, I mean it produces a totally random key. But I'm looking for something much better. That will come up with the same kinda code, but its based on the users computer, so other people can't use it.....
I had an idea, but i'd be too much of a pain in the ass... anyone got ideas?

The following API call is used to retrieve serial number from the HDD pertaining to the specified root path.

Problem is i am trying to retrieve the serial number from HDD on a server for security purposes, but the server will not cooperate, i guess for security reasons. Anyone got any ideas, or done this, or is there any other information that uniquely identifys a PC at server level that is available from across a LAN?

Electronic Serial Number (ESN)
Does anyone here have any idea of how to do a hexadecimal conversion of the ESN for cellular phones? I am in the need to convert a large amount of phone records ESNs that are in hexadecimal format to decimal format and I have no idea what the equation is. I have tried searching several times for it and emailed cellular phone services and they don't know. I have a convertor for the website but it is written in JavaScript and I can't make heads or tails of it anyway (I got it from a miscellaneous site that had it at http://www.elfqrin.com/esndhconv.html and used it as is). There are also a few other sites that have a convertor for ESN conversions but I am tyring to find the actual math equation so I can use it in vb.
Now keep in mind this is not, repeat this is not a simple base conversion of hexadecimal to decimal. An ESN conversion uses a completely different algorithim. To further explain a hexadecimal ESN is made up of 8 characters, numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F. When it is converted to the decimal equivalent it will ALWAYS, ALWAYS be 11 digits long.
Anyway if you know of this elusive equation or have existing code that displays the equation than please reply with it. Thank you.

Multiple Serial Number's - Please! :)
Hello all. I am getting through this problem but ran into another wall. This is my code below.
Option Explicit
Private Declare Function GetVolumeInformation Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetVolumeInformationA" (ByVal
lpRootPathName As String, ByVal lpVolumeNameBuffer As String, ByVal nVolumeNameSize As Long,
lpVolumeSerialNumber As Long, lpMaximumComponentLength As Long, lpFileSystemFlags As Long, ByVal
lpFileSystemNameBuffer As String, ByVal nFileSystemNameSize As Long) As Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim strSerial As String
strSerial = GetSerialNumber("C:")
If strSerial <> "137773915" Then Unload Me
End Sub
Private Function GetSerialNumber(strDrive As String) As String
Dim serialnum As Long
Dim res As Long
Dim Temp1 As String
Dim Temp2 As String
Temp1 = String$(255, Chr$(0))
Temp2 = String$(255, Chr$(0))
res = GetVolumeInformation(strDrive, Temp1, Len(Temp1), serialnum, 0, 0, Temp2, Len(Temp2))
GetSerialNumber = Trim(Str(serialnum))
End Function
This will let only the users I want to to be able to open the form. So on form load it will only let people in it if their number is there. This code is amazing but the only problem is how can I make it so it is 2 numbers instead of just 1. I mean so instead of jsut that number in the code now I want my other friend we will say to be able to use it. I tried doing:
If strSerial <> "137773915" Then Unload Me
again but it will unload even though my number is correct. So it seems if your hard drive number is not all of them it will not load. So I am looking for some help so I can add mroe then 1 persons number to be able to open my program. Well if you can get this for me you would be god. Hehe. Well thank you in advance for all your help and its appreciated greatly. Thank you all and have a good one.

Buying a foreclosed U.S. property
A taxing situation
Many Canadians make assumptions about U.S. tax laws — mainly that they are the same in the two countries. Not so.
In fact, the maximum tax rate on U.S. property changes in January 2013, rising to 55 per cent from the current 35 per cent. What's more, exemption on estate tax for owners of U.S. property drops to $1 million in worldwide assets from the current $5 million.
In calculating worldwide assets, Canadians must include any property owned in Canada as well as RRSPs and death benefit life insurance, in addition to the value of U.S. property.
And that's not all...
U.S. laws governing wills and estates also differ from Canadian regulations. Probate can be lengthy and expensive if a Canadian owns U.S. property as part of their estate. Beneficiaries may be liable for both Canadian capital-gains tax and U.S. estate tax.
One way to minimize the U.S. estate tax is to create a Cross Border Trust, says Altro. "If you own the property in your name personally, it can be expensive and time consuming for your heirs." Transferring property in a Cross Border Trust avoids probate (since only the person has died, not the trust) and also addresses issues related to incapacity.
Bargains still on offer
Epremian says Canadians will still find bargains in Florida due to foreclosure or short sales. The latter is when the lender decides that selling for less than what they are owed is better than receiving nothing or instituting foreclosure procedures.
"Currently 65 per cent of all transactions [in Florida] on the buying end are done by foreigners, and well over 50 per cent of these are Canadians," says Epremian.
At the height of the sub-prime mortgage phenomenon, Americans bought homes with no down payment, no income verifications, and often no interest or principal payments for the first couple of years. As these payments have kicked in, many of those homeowners find themselves unable to pay.
This means that there will be distressed properties for sale at bargain prices for some time to come, says Epremian. He cautions, however, that if it seems too good to be true it just might be so.
His final piece of advice: be clear on your budget, objectives and who you need on your core team.
As for financing, experts agree it's better done in Canada where you can safely leverage your equity into a dream home south of the border.

I discovered for alliance you can get away with only using buckets 1 and 3, turning around the second you see the keg thrown at you. With this you can spam your reins nonstop the entire round. You will arrive at Bucket 3 the first time 85-95 exhaust, and 55 on your way back. You will arrive at bucket 1 with 75-85 exhaust. The hardest part is not running into trees, your vision is dimmed from the branches. You can easily make 20+ runs with this strategy.

Carnival rides, fried foods and farm animals are all part of the 202nd Pima County Fair on Houghton Road.
"I came to ride and the food and just to have fun," said fairgoer, Yahaira Olivas.
"[I] just to come have fun, like hangout with friends and stuff," visitor Brian Razcano said.
"We're here to have fun and have some fair-fixed fried sweets, ice creams, fried oreos, fried cheesecake and go on all the rides," Pam Pierce said.
"We came here to have fun," said 6-year-old Chase Pierce.
"I love the rides," Cody Clayborne said. "I love riding the rides. Always have. Always will.>
You can get your thrills on the midway--tons of rides for the thrill-seekers and the children. And if you love animals, there are all sorts of ways to get close to them; camel rides are new this year.
And, of course, there are concerts, which are included in the cost of admission.
Rides cost extra.
And then there are the shows. We went behind the scenes at the Wild About Monkeys Show.
"We try to show, even though baboons can be very aggressive, they're also very affectionate. They're probably the most social of all the monkeys and they do hug each other," says Wild About Monkeys Animal Trainer Kevin Keith.
Keith addresses Mickey, a 12-year old baboon in the show, going into their act.
"Hey. You think maybe I could have a hug. How about a hug."
Mickey hugs Keith who says, "Oh. That's sweet. Thank you very much."
Keith says, "They know what a hug is."
Keith asks Mickey for a kiss now. "How about a kiss, Mickey. How about a kiss."
Mickey refuses, putting his hands over his mouth.
"Really?" says Keith. "Give me a kiss. Come on. Give me a kiss."
Mickey turns his back on Keith.
"Oh," Keith says. "Wait a minute. That's not right. Savage!"
A lot of people come to see what's new
at the fair. Well, new in all of Arizona: Bacon cotton candy. Actually,
it's pretty good.
The fair runs through Sunday, April 28.

Why did the beaver cross McLoughlin Boulevard?
We may never know, really, but the Oregon City Police Department helped make sure it returned to its home in Abernathy Creek.
Oregon City police were called at 11:30 p.m. Thursday because 911 callers were reporting a beaver wandering through traffic on McLoughlin Boulevard.
"You've got a beaver walking down 14th Street, a good size one. He seems to be heading toward any headlights he sees," one 911 caller said.
The beaver appeared to be lost, police said. An officer tried using a pole and noose to catch the beaver, but quickly figured out the easiest way to get the animal to the water was simply to herd it over to Abernathy Creek.
"Typically, beavers are not the friendliest creatures and are not that easy to corral," a police spokesman said.
The long walk to the creek took about 40 minutes, "but there really was no better option," police said.
"The beaver turned out to be pretty mellow," they said.
Once near the creek, the beaver scuttled down the bank, into the water and swam off.

Tuning in the world of Internet radio
Did you think the Internet was out of revolutions? With Internet radio, anyone can be a broadcaster. If you want to start broadcasting or podcasting, or even if you're just looking for the perfect station, check out this month's Internet Radio cover story.
Once upon a time, the young and old gathered by the radio to hear news, opinions, humor, and music from far away. Everyone knew that anything worth knowing was happening somewhere on the radio, and you could travel around the world just by turning your dial. But radio fell on hard times with the rise of television, settling into a narrower niche for sports fans, commuters, and the teenage pop music crowd. The medium still had meaning for those who listened, but the promise of radio as a magical tool to make the world smaller had worn away.

Snipt 3.10beta Live!
I quietly rolled out Snipt v3.10b last night. Some of the changes include:
- Backend optimizations to make everything faster.
- Fixed some XSS gaps
- Added expansion memory- the snipt.org website will remember the state in which you prefer to view snipts (expanded or standard) and you can pass the state in the URL by simply adding #expand.
- Added admin tools to help napalm spam
- Added the ability to recover deleted snipts within 30 days (requires admin assistance)
- Fixed a range of database indexing problems.
- The 3.0 API is ready, but I haven't flipped the switch on it yet because I need to update the documentation.
- Fixed duplicitous v2-to-v3 migration on demand issues and cleaned up the duplicate snipts.
LOTS more coming, this is just more work shoring up the foundation and core new architecture now that Snipt.org v3 runs on a custom backend and has moved away from the Wordpress backend I was using to power v2 (albeit highly customized, it made the site slower than it needed to be).
Love hearing requests for new features, feel free to comment, visit the feedback section or tweet at me. Hope you enjoy the updates! Don't forget to use a sniptbox to easily manage and secure your code!

|The LHCb experiment is designed to perform high-precision measurements of CP violation and search for New Physics using the enormous flux of beauty and charmed hadrons produced at the LHC. The operation and the results obtained from the data collected in 2010 and 2011 demonstrate that the detector is robust and functioning very well. However, the limit of 1 fb$^{-1}$ of data per year cannot be overcome without improving the detector. We therefore plan for an upgraded spectrometer by 2018 with a 40 MHz readout and a much more flexible software-based triggering system that will increase the data rate as well as the efficiency specially in the hadronic channels. Here we present the LHCb detector upgrade plans, based on the recently submitted Letter of Intent, with a particular focus on prospects for QCD-related physics analyses.

Slash is the first to admit that he didn't care much for school, and it's clear he's not up on his broadcasting history. In the latest digital issue of FuseTV's Backatcha -- in which rock stars discuss highlights of their band's pasts -- the guitarist tries to take credit for broadcasting's seven-second delay. That's the feature that lets radio jocks and TV producers "dump" up to seven seconds of audio in the event that some rock star slips with an F-bomb or one of the many other violations of the FCC's stringent rules.
In the Backatcha episode, Slash says that he and the rest of his old band Guns N' Roses were "accepting an award for something and we were just really, really drunk. That was the beginning of the seven-second rule...for swearing. The seven-second delay? We started it. Every other word was 'f**k this' and 'f**king that.'"
Not quite. As much as the GN'R guys might have tried to exercise the seven-second delay as often as they could, it was actually invented way back in 1952, before any of them were born.
In other Guns N' Roses news, frontman Axl Rose will receive this year's Ronnie James Dio Lifetime Achievement Award next week, at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards in Los Angeles, when he'll will join the ranks of past honorees Rush , Ozzy Osbourne , Metallica and Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead .
The Revolver Golden Gods Awards will be held at L.A.'s Nokia Theater on Wednesday, April 23.

How would an economic system not based on the acquisition of material wealth work?
The internet is essentially a machine that duplicates products without expending resources. It is a literal cornucopia of content products. The SOPA discussions are demonstrating that the old style economics of one-way distribution will not work for content companies in the present and future. But, what about everything else?
As we gather knowledge about the universe, we are able to create things with greater and greater ease. In the case of just about all content, we have gathered enough information to create a system that effectively generates product for no cost. There is also, usually, no profit - people make things because they want to.
Physical objects are more difficult to generate in this manner. We know this because it still takes effort and resources to make them. However, there may come a time when physical objects are created just as easily as content is created through the internet. What happens then?
What happens when we can no longer rely on profit from making things? How do we create an economic system that isn't based on acquiring material wealth?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jan 20 2012: It depends what you mean by "based on the acquisition of material wealth". Capitalism creates a society where a minority accumulates obscenely large amounts of wealth by exploiting the labour power of those who do not possess capital (or prefer not to exploit fellow human beings). Socialism posits a society whose citizens are at liberty to acquire personal possessions, but not to exploit other people's labour. Under socialism, most wealth is communally owned and is deployed under democratic control to benefit society as a whole, not a private profit seeking minority whose self-serving activities inevitably engender an unending series of economic crises and, if left unchecked, will cause runaway environmental catastrophe.
Jan 20 2012: Attempts to create socialist societies have so far been deformed or derailed by the fact that the capitalist powers have made every effort to strangle them at birth or subvert them - efforts made easier by virtue of the fact that attempts to build socialism have mainly occurred in poor, undeveloped or war-ravaged countries which doubtless you could name as well as I.
Is there a capitalist world which operates essentially as I have described? What element/s in my description do you find difficulty in identifying in any number of so-called free market capitalist countries in the contemporary world?
Jan 21 2012: Actually capitalism leads to better education, health care, and environmental care: (see page 20-25) http://www.freetheworld.com/release.html
Jan 21 2012: What do you understand by better health care? Highly sophisticated facilities which only the wealthy can access, existing alongside very minimal provision for poor people? Or a health service which is paid for collectively and which everyone can access at nil cost at the point of use?
These are, needless to say, very different conceptions of health care. Depends what you want to minimise: taxes, or infant mortality and avoidable suffering. Also on what you prefer to maximise: profits for private health insurance companies, or social well-being.
Jan 21 2012: Actually, hospitals never turn anyone away because they can't pay. In the U.S. healthcare is better for even poor people than it is for most people in the world. You say only the wealthy can afford it - well, that's not usually the case. Most poor people, unless they are spending their money on drugs or alcohol, can afford much better health care than most people in other countries can.
Jan 21 2012: Unfortunately, democratic control usually means some form of government. Governments, once they have power, almost never give that power up. If the majority of he wealth is under democratic (government) control, then it is the government that decides what I can buy and how to by it. Not directly, of course, that would be communism, but indirectly by controlling the flow of money.
Luxury goods in such a system are automatically removed from the market. They contradict the idea that no one person should have substantially more wealth than any other person. Unfortunately, luxury goods are the places where many innovations are made. Things like cars, finely stitched clothing, and white bread were originally luxury goods.
Jan 21 2012: Democratic control always means some form of government. Government is forcibly taking money from other people. Even if this control is democratic, it is still wrong. If 51% of the population wanted the 49%'s wealth, that wouldn't make it right to take it. A democracy stealing money from people and redistributing it is just as bad as a dictatorship like China or Russia. And yes, stealing is equitable with taxation: what else do you call forcibly giving up your property? The difference between necessary and bad taxation is that in a free society, as little as possible is taxed in order to preserve other freedoms. It is for this reason that the Founding Fathers said government is a necessary evil: it must subsist on stolen goods. Therefore, we should limit the taxation to as little as is necessary for defense and courts.
Jan 22 2012: Your vocabulary appears to equate the phrase "stealing money from people" with public taxation. Certainly in societies with a dominant wealthy class, taxation is an efficient and prevalent method of looting the poor to benefit the already rich, either directly or by making the poor pay for essential state functions while effectively exempting the rich from similar burdens.
However it's also possible to conceptualise taxation as a transfer system within capitalist societies which enables the reproduction of the profit system by reducing the toxic disaffection, and the consequential breakdown of the society, which would tend to occur if only the wealthy could enjoy clean water, food, housing, education, health care, essential personal security, etc.
In an egalitarian, non-capitalist society, more equitable ways of covering the society's essential running expenses and necessary generational transfers will no doubt be developed. But no conceivable advanced society could function without some system, which it might be a gross oversimplification to call theft, for pooling resources and transferring some to the young, the old and the needy.
