LONDON — The Jets piled up the yards, both good and bad, and got the win it came for.
New York (3-1) gained 425 yards of total offense, including a career-high 166 for running back Chris Ivory, in a 27-14 win over the Dolphins on Sunday at Wembley Stadium.
But as much as the offensive yardage helped, it was the 163 yards given up on 14 penalties that kept Miami (1-3) in the game.
"We play aggressive, so some of that's going to happen," Jets linebacker Calvin Pace said. "But we know we've got to clean up our play."
Ryan Fitzpatrick started things for the Jets by completing a 58-yard pass to Brandon Marshall on the team's first play from...

Hi all! I just reread the starter guide and didnt notice how often it is ok to do a vinegar bath. We just tried our first bleach bath. Long story short, my son is 15 months and is having a bad eczema flare. We suspected yet another allergy (thought maybe it was the milk he started at a year) but just heard back from the allergist that his blood test for milk was negative. I guess it is possible it's something else, but right now we are treating this like it is the dry winter air causing problems. Anyway, his cradle cap is awful, too. I was wondering if it would be okay to do a vinegar bath every night except the bleach bath night? Thanks for your help!
Vinegar bath - how often

Energy and Global Warming News for March 26: Laser guidance adds power to wind turbines; Austin aims for grid makeover; Evangelicals embrace God and green
Laser Guidance Adds Power to Wind Turbines
The wind industry may soon be dependent on a different kind of environmental awareness that has more to do with lasers than ecology.
A new laser system that can be mounted on wind turbines allows them to prepare for the wind rushing toward their blades.
The lasers act like sonar for the wind, bouncing off microscopically small particulates and back to a fiber optic detector. That data is fed to an on-board processor that generates a three-dimensional view of the wind speed and direction. Subtle adjustments in the turbine blade's angle to the window allows it to capture more energy and protect itself in case of strong gusts.
The startup company that developed the Vindicator system, Catch the Wind, recently deployed a wind unit on a Nebraska Public Power District turbine. It increased the production of the unit (.pdf) by more than 10 percent, according to the company's white paper. If those numbers held across the nations' 35 gigawatts of installed wind capacity, the LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensors could add more than 3.5 gigawatts of wind capacity without adding a single additional turbine.
"This is what they call disruptive technology," said William Fetzer, vice president of business development for Catch the Wind. "There are roughly 80,000 to 90,000 wind turbines out in the world, and they don't have this technology."
Austin Aiming for a Grid Makeover
The city of Austin, Tex., today presented a wide-ranging list of recommendations for remaking its electricity system, including more energy efficiency measures and a change to the business model of the local utility.
The effort, known as the Pecan Street Project, goes beyond the concept of smart-grids and could serve as a national model, its backers say.
"We believe it is not enough for the grid to be smart. It needs to be smart and green," said Jim Marston, who directs the Texas office of the Environmental Defense Fund and is a Pecan Street board member, in a conference call Wednesday.
Some other smart-grid projects, Mr. Marston added, are "are only looking for ways to lay off meter readers."
The report's recommendations range from expanding "demand response" programs to better management of water systems, which require huge amounts of electricity for pumping water.
But the key idea was rethinking the way Austin Energy, the electric utility, makes its money. Currently, the more electricity customers use, the more money the utility "" and the city of Austin, whose single largest source of revenue is the utility "" earns.
"This basic economic model is the single greatest obstacle standing between Austin Energy and a modernized energy delivery system," the report stated.
This conundrum applies to most utilities around the country too. Roger Duncan, another Pecan Street board member who recently retired as the general manager of Austin Energy, said that he "didn't really see any other utilities facing up to this problem."
Pecan Street Project representatives say that some of the recommendations are already being implemented. Last year the Department of Energy awarded a $10.4 million grant to the group for a pilot smart-grid project in an Austin neighborhood.
GE unveils European wind energy future
General Electric announced Thursday it was investing roughly $453 million to expand wind energy facilities in four European countries.
Expansions plans for GE in Europe include the use of the company's next-generation 4-megawatt turbine for offshore deployment. The new turbine features a drive train system that eliminates the need for a gear box and is the largest wind turbine in GE's fleet.
Ferdinando Beccalli-Falco, president and chief executive of GE International, said the investments would help his company tap the huge wind energy potential in offshore Europe.
"Offshore wind will play a vital role in meeting the growing global demand for cleaner, renewable energy and has a bright future here in Europe," he said.
GE points to studies that show that if all offshore wind farms planned for Europe are completed, the European Union could avoid more than 200 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions each year.
The projects could also meet up to 10 percent of the EU's electricity needs, moving Europe closer to its goal of getting 20 percent of its energy from renewable resources by 2020.
The four projects in the United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden and Germany could enter operations as early as 2016.
Conservative Evangelicals embrace God and green
The cultural revolution of the 1960s and '70s included the birth of the environmental movement. That's when "there was a deep split, and the right stole God and the left stole green," says Jonathan Merritt, a 20-something evangelical Christian who sees himself as a political conservative but also as an environmentalist. "I think God and green go together, and I think they belong together."
While many Christian denominations enthusiastically support efforts to combat climate change, evangelical Christians, who tend to be both theologically and politically conservative, have been caught up in an internal tussle over the issue in which skeptics seem to hold the upper hand.
But a new generation of Evangelicals such as Mr. Merritt – who, he argues, carry less "baggage" from the 20th-century's cultural wars – are making a spirited effort to show that their religious beliefs and their environmental concerns are not only compatible but inextricably linked.
"I'm an environmentalist because I'm a Christian and not in spite of that fact," says Merritt, an author and speaker whose book, "Green Like God: Unlocking the Divine Plan for Our Planet," will be published on Earth Day, April 21.
Conservative US Protestants are among those Christians most likely to be skeptical that human-induced climate change is taking place. In a poll last year, only 34 percent of white Evangelicals agreed there is solid evidence that Earth is warming because of human activity. In contrast, 48 percent of white mainline Protestants agreed, according to the survey, released by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.
White House hosts discussion on electric vehicles
The Detroit Free Press reports that the Obama administration will bring leading automakers together today to explore how the industry can best launch electric vehicles with the aid of utility companies.
Several people familiar with the event told the newspaper that auto industry task force chief Ron Bloom will oversee the meeting, which will include the Detroit automakers, several foreign companies including Honda Motor Co. and electric vehicle startups Fisker Automotive Inc. and Tesla Motors Inc.
Obama has been a strong supporter of electric vehicles. As a presidential candidate he campaigned on a pledge to push for 1 million plug-in hybrid vehicles on U.S. roads by 2015, and last year the White House announced $2.4 billion in grants to automakers and suppliers for electric vehicle efforts.
While electric utilities have generally backed automakers' push toward battery-powered vehicles, both industries have lingering concerns about the availability of charging stations and how much energy demand such vehicles could create for the grid.
A group of electric wholesalers covering two-thirds of the United States and Canada released a study yesterday that stated that plug-in hybrids could boost electric demand by 10 percent in some areas only if all were charing during peak hours. If charging were staggered throughout the day, the study found minimal boosts in energy demand
Seoul Mayor Pins Political Hopes on Green Growth
On a recent morning, the mayor of Seoul stopped by a local amusement park to inaugurate a new electric tram system to ferry tourists around the grounds, replacing an old noisy one that belched exhaust. Music blared. A phalanx of TV crews trailed him.
For some politicians, the event might have been an obligatory photo opportunity, something to be endured en route to more important meetings. But for Oh Se-hoon, who has been striving to build a defining legacy for his mayoralty, it was a signature moment.
"We are the first in the world to use the technology this way," he said, admiring the way the tram sucks electricity from power strips buried beneath the road. "What we are doing is changing history."
Mr. Oh is among a new breed of South Korean politicians who increasingly stake their political fortunes on so-called green growth. For Mr. Oh, that means creating jobs based on environmentally friendly technologies and figuring out how to make this city, home to one-fifth of the country's 49 million people, a healthier, more pleasant place to live.
Since taking office in 2006, Mr. Oh has striven to make the city look nicer and greener. Under his Design City slogan, the municipal authorities carted away urban eyesores like leaky shacks for shoe shiners and replaced them with artfully designed, government-subsidized kiosks. They revamped the old city center, turning part of its Kwanghwamoon Boulevard into a plaza where children can skate in winter.
"My goal in the changing of the face of Seoul is all related to enhancing its attractiveness," said Mr. Oh, who is seeking re-election as his four-year term winds down. "If the city is attractive, people, information and capital flow in. This in turn creates economic re-vitality and it also creates a lot of jobs."
Perhaps the issue Mr. Oh has pursued most successfully is air pollution.
While some of his competitors in the election may dismiss some of Mr. Oh's initiatives as gimmicky, even they concede that the pink haze that used to envelop the metropolis has largely disappeared. The amount of pollutants in Seoul's air has dropped 20 percent in the past four years, according to city data.
Brazil expands wind energy portfolio
Spanish renewable energy giant EDP Renewables broke ground on a third onshore wind farm in Brazil that has an installed capacity of 70 megawatts.
EDP Group subsidiary EDP Renewables began work on the 2,000-acre site in the state Rio Grande do Sul that would eventually meet the energy demands of 200,000 consumers.
Two wind farms in the region would combine with the Rio Grande do Sul project to deliver 84 MW of wind energy to Brazil.
An expanding Brazilian economy inspired the government to look for alternative energy resources, which would reduce the national dependence on foreign energy.
The Brazilian government awarded the wind farm license to EDP Renewables in January. The wind farm in the city of Tramandai comprises 31 wind turbines.
'Green Fund' for Climate Change Proposed by IMF Staff
A "Green Fund" designed to help nations meet climate-change pledges would sell bonds in global markets and use the proceeds to help poor countries deal with the effects of global warming, International Monetary Fund staff proposed in a report.
The report released today expands upon an idea mentioned by IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn earlier this month as a way to raise $100 billion a year by 2020.
The plan offers a mechanism for rich nations to honor their agreement from last year's Copenhagen climate summit to provide that amount of money to developing countries to confront drought, flooding, food shortages and disease exacerbated by global warming.
Governments could inject reserve assets in the fund, including those disbursed by the IMF last year, it said. The IMF staff plan also calls for wealthy nations to provide separate subsidies to help finance grants, according to the report.
"Once created, the Green Fund could provide a unified resource mobilization framework capable of meeting the financing needs identified at Copenhagen for decades to come," the IMF staff paper said. "This seems far preferable to the alternative — a succession of difficult international negotiations every few years, with uncertain outcomes."
The climate fund is aimed at encouraging progress on negotiations towards a global agreement on curbing carbon emissions. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change forecasts as many as 250 million Africans may be exposed to water shortages by 2020 and some countries may see harvests fall by 50 percent.

An Author's Incredible Environmental Journey After a Coal Company Destroyed His Family's Ancestral Home and Land
After a strip-mining operation obliterated the author's family homestead, he set out on a 10-year journey to examine the staggering human and environmental costs of coal.
Biggers' story is deeply rooted in cultural history. Mining companies have been destroying not just homes, forests and streams, but actual communities with stories, songs, heroes and legacies. Unfortunately, our love affair with coal continues, despite dire warnings from top scientists regarding global warming, the impact on human health from burning coal and desperate pleas from the people who live in areas of coal extraction.
Sadly, the Obama administration has only been fanning the flames with talk about resources for so-called "clean coal," a term that is nothing but industry smoke and mirrors. Biggers writes in his book about wanting to convey to the president what our addiction to coal really means:
I wanted our president to know that the strip mines did not only obliterate our family homeplace and farm: they ripped out the roots of invaluable historic sites and stories, such as a secret black slave cemetery that had helped to give birth to the coal industry and churned them into unrecognizable bits of dust. History did not only vanish — it was covered up — the same way a native and lush Shawnee forest was wiped out and replaced, through a faux coal mining reclamation program, with foreign grasslands, and the aquatic life of Eagle Creek disappeared with the toxic runoff from the slurry pond.
But dead fish don't tell lies. Nor did our ruins. As Mexican writer Octavio Paz wrote in his Nobel laureate address, the ancient past in his country never truly disappeared; it remained a presence; it breathed its spirits into our contemporary decisions. It churned out bits of cautionary tales that reflected our choices and ways of living today.
~16 million without easy access to water and ~ 50 million affected by drought in SW China.
That would be the equivalent of about 1/6 of the US population for those who are math impaired.
Currently, the more electricity customers use, the more money the utility — and the city of Austin, whose single largest source of revenue is the utility — earns. This conundrum applies to most utilities around the country too. Roger Duncan, another Pecan Street board member who recently retired as the general manager of Austin Energy, said that he "didn't really see any other utilities facing up to this problem."
This is nothing new. For decades, California utilities have had a rate structure that changes more per kwh to people who consume more electricity, plus economic incentives for utilities to invest in conservation rather than in new capacity.

electric cars are not a panacea for our comfortable private transport. Unless we tackle the back-end, electric generation its a worse scenario than what we have now.
The problem is the switch over to electric cars is going to happen much faster than we can fix the back-end.
Climate Protesters Win Third Runway Battle
UK, Friday March 26, 2010
Protesters have won a High Court battle forcing the Government to consider climate change issues before plans for a third runway at Heathrow airport can go ahead.
Firstly, these plans failed the climate change test, secondly they failed the economic test, thirdly there was not enough work put into organising how to get millions of additional passengers in and out of the airport.
I'm curious if the tubercle technology for wind turbines is truly beneficial or so much hype (see the website for whale power) Also I wonder if Joe R has any comments re Pielke's reviews of Gore and Hansen's books in the March 18th edition of Nature.
What type of approach do you favor in dealing with America's energy needs?:
More nuclear
More wind & solar
Clean coal
Natural gas
Conservation only

We have to reduce by 110% by 2050 don't we?
Energy-efficient homes make householders complacent
The results of the studies – seven of them in total – suggest that such energy creep could wipe out as much as half of the anticipated savings from making homes more energy efficient (Building Research & Information, vol 38, issue 1).
Lomas says the results question whether the government's target of reducing energy consumption in homes to 20 per cent of 1990 levels by 2050 is achievable.
"It increased the production of the unit by more than 10 percent… If those numbers held across the nations' 35 gigawatts of installed wind capacity, the … sensors could add more than 3.5 gigawatts of wind capacity"
I like this. You can add the equivalent of 2 nuclear power plants — or 20 by the time any new nuke plants can come online, assuming another 10x increase in wind capacity by then — just by adding some more intelligence into the wind-generation system.
This is yet another example of how smart efficiency improvements beat the old brute-force methods, hands-down.
I just looked at Whale Power site. They are calming a gain of as much as 40%! efficiency on wind turbine blades. If in fact that hold true??? WOW!
Electric cars jostle for position on the power grid
"The electricity industry has to keep the lights on," says Joe DiNucci, a director of Coulomb Technologies in San Jose, California, which makes electric vehicle charging points. "They need to know what charging points are doing, and to have some control."
MoMA has a show on potential futures for NYC according to today's TNYT.
It's terrifying that the IMF is thinking "Green". Will money rule? Or will access to truly BIG money rule?
And there's GE.
On the positive side there's Google – Do no evil. Would that the former two corporate interests embraced that simple rule.
P.S. A Network of conversations is embracing and progressive. A corporation, as licensed in the USA is charged with being a leech unless it's clearly and profoundly stated in it's charter and organizing principles. What have we allowed ourselves to become?
re: "Laser Guidance Adds Power to Wind Turbines"
Blue sky stuff (perhaps)
Considering that the fastest vehicles for many years were ice boats clocked at 144 miles per hour back in 1914 it should be possible to use ultra light rails automatically adjusted to wind directions to carry small single-person vehicles going impressive speeds at a very small environmental footprints.
fj2 – You've never sailed, I take it?
Sometimes the wind comes from the direction in which you want to travel and you are forced to "tack" back and forth in an inefficient manner to gain forward progress.
Can you imagine how one would adjust rails so that they align themselves ~50% off the direction of the wind and in a zig-zag pattern? And readjust themselves on very short notice as the wind "clocks"?
Better to use turbines which can efficiently swivel to face the wind to create electricity and then ship that power to vehicles. Then you can violate the rule that "Gentlemen don't beat into the wind".
20. Bob Wallace, "Can you imagine how one would adjust rails so that they align themselves ~50% off the direction of the wind and in a zig-zag pattern? And readjust themselves on very short notice as the wind "clocks"?"
Beautiful pictures of Earth Hour: yesterday evening global action to switch off the lights for one hour, demanding better climate policies: http://bit.ly/EHpics
fj2 –
Well, lay it out. Show us a plan that would allow one to 'go to the wind' with the wind switching over a 100+ degree range, often in abrupt changes.
Love to see how you both create a system that can rapidly shift hundreds/thousands of miles of track and how real estate you'd need.
Oh, and don't forget to include some method of storing up power for when the wind quits blowing.
You thinking some really big rubber bands?
23. Bob Wallace, "Love to see how you both create a system that can rapidly shift hundreds/thousands of miles of track and how real estate you'd need."
So would I!
First disclaimer as mentioned: This is a concept, i.e., "Blue sky stuff (perhaps)" and is more of a fun idea than something I would personally spend a lot of time on. Small vehicle hybrid human-electric transit is a lot more practical for here and now with environmental footprints likely less than 1 percent that of automobiles.
Second disclaimer: It would probably require commercialized advanced molecular strength material science such as carbon nanotubes 100 to 200 times stronger than steel per weight projected for availability by mid-century.
Other stuff (making this up on the fly)
One strategy:
Ultra light rails would automatically align themselves into the wind so this may be a viable start; adjustable support systems and articulation would have to be worked out. Of course, the sail(s) will stall as soon as the vehicle reaches wind speed.
Perhaps some sort of rudder system would automatically align the rails off the wind say, at about 120 degrees. It should be noted that these vehicles could move really fast making their own wind — especially with permanent magnetic levitation (halbach arrays or attractive permanent magnetic systems like MagneMotion) — and move the apparent wind far forward to about 45 degrees. Minor adjustments to the sail(s) on the vehicle should also help.
Magnetic induction as the vehicles race along could produce energy for storage through the rail. Linear induction motoring (LIM) could provide power when the wind dies i.e., hybrid wind-electric.
Might be perfect for going across large expanses like the Great Plains though tacking in smaller areas might be feasible especially with banking, etc., etc., . . .
Not really sure how big rubber bands would help.
Your fantasy is pretty complicated.
Perhaps you should switch to soap box racers.
Now all you have to do is to figure out how to make every destination downhill from where one starts….
26. Bob Wallace, "Perhaps you should switch to soap box racers."
Ok, I'll get back to you.
If this device can develop here in our country then this will become a a big help for us all. Hope our government will act with this… :)
@Gadik – I am from Philippines and right now we are experiencing black out every now and then… hope this will be introduce to us…
he more electricity customers use, the more money the utility — and the city of Austin, whose single largest source of revenue is the utility — earns. This conundrum applies to most utilities around the country too.
@insiders- you are right about what you've said…
I like this idea "Ultra light rails would automatically align themselves into the wind so this may be a viable start; adjustable support systems and articulation would have to be worked out. Of course, the sail(s) will stall as soon as the vehicle reaches wind speed."
The reason ice boats can go that fast is twofold. One, they have very little friction, almost no resistance to moving. Two, its the apparant wind, not the true wind making this possible. The faster the ice boat goes the more apparant wind, which makes it accelerate more, and so on.
Also why Oracle's new 90 foot America's Cup catamaran can do over 50 knots, riding on a hydrofoil.
off topic
When sailing, on most points of sail you are not being pushed by the wind. The sail is an airfoil, just like a wing. Lift is created on the forward side of the sail. Its possible to sail much faster than the wind, but only with extreme boats like the two I mentioned. Both also carry a lot of sail for their size, with the Oracle catamaran having an ungodly amount of sail area and a really tall mast. I think I read it was 18 stories high, which would make it about twice as long as the boat, while normally a mast is maybe 15-25% longer than the boat. A 5,000 sq ft mainsail and 7,000 sq ft in their largest headsail.
A "Green Fund" designed to help nations meet climate-change pledges would sell bonds in global markets and use the proceeds to help poor countries deal with the effects of global warming, International Monetary Fund staff proposed in a report.
The report released today expands upon an idea mentioned by IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn earlier this month as a way to raise $100 billion a year by 2020.
The plan offers a mechanism for rich nations to honor their agreement from last year's Copenhagen climate summit to provide that amount of money to developing countries to confront drought, flooding, food shortages and disease exacerbated by global warming.
Don't like this emphasis on adaptation, rather than technological change in the energy sectors.
Only after we spend five or ten times as much on prevention, should we spend one hundred billion dollars on adaptation.
Is it cynical of me to wonder what role huge politically connected engineering corporations like Bechtel had in this decision, to spend lots of money on adaptation? Globally, it seems likely that they would get a big share of the heavy construction adaptation money.
"BrightSource Energy, developer of large-scale solar thermal plants, has contracted engineering giant Bechtel to build its Ivanpah Solar Energy Generating System in California — a complex of three solar plants expected to produce 440 megawatts (enough to power about 330,000 homes). Bechtel will also be investing equity in the project — giving BrightSource some of the support it needs to fulfill other contracts amounting to 2.6 gigawatts worth of energy."
There's money to be made by major corporations from renewables. Look at GE with their wind turbines and thin film solar.

I have a weird issue. Randomly, I will get pages that only appear halfway or not at all...as in it will randomly cut off in the middle just because it feels like it. Here's an example, ironically when I was looking for help with this issue:
What's curious is that the browser considers its job done, there's no 'circling' done on the tab or any "waiting for connection" it just decides that the page has finished loading and stops.
I'm on a wireless connection to a D-Link DIR-632. It only seems to have started happening after we got the router, but seeing as it was a vast improvement over the various routers we've had before (which all had really bad connection issues with dropped packets, etc.), I would be really hesitant to replace it.

I hope someone can help me urgently.
I upgraded Posts 2 Posts plugin from 1.6.2 to 1.6.3. As soon as I did this I lost my site with the white screen of death appearing. Trying not to panic I managed to revert to v1.6.2 and got the site back.
However, now when creating connections, the spinner spins eternally and the connection does not register.
Javascript error points to box.js on lines 188 and 313:
188: 'undefined' is not an object (evaluating 'this.options.connections')
313: 'undefined' is not an object (evaluating 'this.options.candidates')
I am afraid to try upgrading again as the site is large and complex, but the client relies on the connections to work and adds content daily.
What can I do?

I need this feature since English is not my native language, but I write the pages on English, so to translate it (fix the grammar, wording, etc) is a needed feature for me. I wanted to use Transposh to do this task (just like allowing to have other languages too)

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Sep 01st, 1985
Running Time: 85
Director: Lawrence T Cole
Company: Now Showing Video
Cast: Sasha Gabor, Billy Dee, Susan Hart, Ginger Lynn, Tom Byron, Mai Lin
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Film
The hunt is on again! This time Ginger Lynn is seeking the extreme realization of her own sexual powers. She is out to prove that she can be in complete control of her sexual being and not the passive obedient sex slave that many men want their women to be.
She first seeks the advice of her Guru played by Sasha Gabor, who in this film proves that he can act and no longer has to live behind the fact that he looks just like Burt Reynolds. Also, he doesn't even get to perform in any of the sex scenes.
He carefully instructs Ginger in various levels of sexual prowess, slowly building her strength and her self-restraint. But Ginger and her Guru are not unopposed, they are followed and harassed by a certain sanction that is out to prove that women are weak and subservient. They constantly try to destroy Ginger before she reaches her sexual apex.
The story may be a little far-fetched, but the sex is right on the money. Ginger is a sexual athlete and again she outdoes herself as we've come to expect from the 1984 AVNA Award winner for Best New Starlet. She teases, and she directs, but never gives into her lovers. She is the strength of The Pleasure Hunt Part II.
The plot has many twists and turns that leave the viewer a little confused at times. The camera work is excellent, but Lawrence T. Cole utilizes staccato editing in some of the scenes and I found myself trying to refocus my eyes.

AbstractORBITEC proposes to continue the development of MAELSTROM, an advanced hybrid rocket motor, to meet the demands of highly flexible boost propulsion for Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense applications. Key MAELSTROM features include: versatile energy management, high propulsive performance, inherent safety of a hybrid, non-toxic and insensitive propellants, and a long-term storable system. The benefits of MAELSTROM result from the synergistic combination of ORBITEC's innovative approaches to high-performance hybrid rocket motors. A vortex oxidizer injector generates a coaxial, bi-directional flow field that drives extremely high solid-fuel regression rates, allowing for short, compact fuel grain design with aspect ratios as low as one to be achieved. In the mature MAELSTROM, solid fuel regression rate sensors will provide feedback to the closed-loop oxidizer controller. In addition to high mass fraction and high combustion efficiency, MAELSTROM will provide safe, highly-flexible boost propulsion with deep throttling capability for large thrust turndown ratios and efficient energy management.

Joining Kim, 29, Khloé, 26, and Kourtney, 31, on stage at the 2010 Teen Choice Awards Sunday night, "the fourth" Kardashian sister wasn't actually lady at all. Nope, it was George Lopez in drag.
Khloé later Tweeted about her new sibling, writing, "we love our long lost sister!"
The Teen Choice Awards air Monday, 8 p.m. ET, on Fox.

I'm creating a custom plugin that utilizes the FlexSlider jQuery plugin to display a slideshow of a custom post type. However, I've run into a snag. Either something is hard-wired in the js that I'm missing or I'm doing something wrong on my end.
Here is the loop the fills the slideshow....
function efs_get_slider(){
$slider= '

';
$efs_query= "post_type=events";
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
$img= get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'large' );
$link= esc_url (get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_link', true ));

' .$img. '

endwhile; endif; wp_reset_query();
$slider.= '
return $slider;
The issue comes with the $link variable. I have a custom meta field for my custom post type that just holds an external link. I'm thinking it has something to do with my loop and not the js file because when I manually put a link into the code, the links show up fine in the slideshow.
However, I ran the same query on a test page without using the slideshow and it seems to work fine.
I've done this with and without the esc_url function and have the same results. I can provide the js file so you can see the code, too.
A working test page of the slider can be found at the address below. Below the slideshow is the output of the same query_posts loop but not using the slideshow.
I'm at a loss here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The study plans showed parts laid out on 2 4 x 8 sheets of plywood
Architect scale useful for checking measurements from the book, big framing square a must
Parts cut from first panel. This one already has the "bilge" panel removed now working on the other side. Can just see the bottom to the right of the saber saw.
The frames ready for glue. They were cut out in two pieces each. plus some rectangular straps.
All glued up and held together with deck screws while the epoxy cures
Now 3-dimensional! Started at the back, joined to the rear transom with wires, the added the middle frame, then bends to the front transom.
Added the other two frames before the epoxy set. All held in temporarily with wires
The frames resting on a plank so its up off the floor. This is the seat out of Doug's original Nymph.
Tried some clamps to secure the bottom. Also used a single deck screw into a block of wood on the inside.
Bottom held to front transom with wires. These were some pretty sharp bends.
Now occupies 90% of the finished volume, so its 40% complete (maybe).
Cut the "bilge" panels out to exact size and have them glued in with epoxy/wood flour mix.
Bilge panels held in place at key points along the seam with copper wire. A couple more wires at each end too.
Its been cold here the last few days so we left the work lights on underneath to keep the epoxy warm while it cured.
Now it looks like a boat. We have to do something about those corners where the light shows through
Glass cloth on the transom and tape on the seams held on with more epoxy. Shiny!
Ready to to put filets in the inside seams
Seat from Doug's original Nymph pressed into service again
Insides all filets, tape and a coat of epoxy. Next step: sand until we cry.
Stinkbugs are now back, unfortunately
Sanded, dusted and ready for more glass cloth
One more night (at least) of "Sanding Until We Cry (tm)" ahead.
Some extra woodworking
Oarlock risers and doubler
Ready for Sea Trials
First Voyage!
Putting her through her paces. Very easy to row, but a little tippy from the back seat
Goes on the minivan no problem
Jynxie needs a better seat

During the 1990s, a large number of new tidal atlases were developed, primarily to provide accurate tidal corrections for satellite altimetry applications. During this decade, the French tidal group (FTG), led by C. Le Provost, produced a series of finite element solutions (FES) tidal atlases, among which FES2004 is the latest release, computed from the tidal hydrodynamic equations and data assimilation. The aim of this paper is to review the state of the art of tidal modelling and the progress achieved during this past decade. The first sections summarise the general FTG approach to modelling the global tides. In the following sections, we introduce the FES2004 tidal atlas and validate the model against in situ and satellite data. We demonstrate the higher accuracy of the FES2004 release compared to earlier FES tidal atlases, and we recommend its use in tidal applications. The final section focuses on the new dissipation term added to the equations, which aims to account for the conversion of barotropic energy into internal tidal energy. There is a huge improvement in the hydrodynamic tidal solution and energy budget obtained when this term is taken into account.

It appears that my ISP has found a way to exceed my hi-speed bandwidth by sending garbage packages. Their customer care confirmed that even if just the router is switched on, it's going to keep adding up to the data-transfer and may even reach up to 20-25 GB over a period of two days! (No exaggeration – those were exactly their words)
Now, besides dragging the ISP to court for fraud, the only way to keep my data-transfer to a sane limit seems to be to switch off my router.
Is there a way to stop the data transfer between my router and ISP without switching off my router?

Professors really care about students, and the classes are generally very interesting. There is a pretty big workload, but it is definitely possible to do well if time is managed well, and there are many resources on campus to turn to for help with academic work and planning.
Registration process is painless--it's very unlikely that you won't get into a class you want unless it is extremely popular. Professors are always a matter of personal preference--there are teaching styles that work well for some and not for others. I have really enjoyed almost all of my professors, and respected them both as experts in their field and excellent instructors. Classes are engaging, unique, and offer knowledge in areas that are especially interesting to Haverford students. We have a Peace, Justice, and Human Rights department. A lot of our classes examine very relevant issues around economics, race, politics, scientific innovation, etc. The workload is moderate, but you definitely have the power to control your own stress. Professors are known for giving more/less work and they're very clear about assignments in their syllabi. We also have self-scheduled exams! Whether you stay in your comfort zone or challenge yourself with your classes, your workload almost always depends on time management.
The academics are amazing at Haverford. The class sizes are very small, so you get to know your peers and your professor very well. Office hours are another great resource so you can get to know your teacher and also get one on one help from them. The class lottery sometimes doesn't work out the way you want it to, but you can usually get into a class eventually if you really want to.
Academics are taken seriously and are the best part of the school. Very rewarding!
Great selection of majors, classes and awesome professors!
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
One of Haverford's keystone strengths is its faculty. A large percentage of professors live on or near campus, and it isn't uncommon to be invited to their homes for dinner. We don't seem to be particularly interested in attracting "celebrity" faculty (i.e. former legislators to teach political science), but we have a solid core of bright, personable academics who know how to teach. While some professors are obviously going to be better than others, the Haverford faculty is an excellent group on the whole. We also benefit from very small class sizes-it's rare to find a class with more than 50 people, even at the introductory level. Higher-level classes frequently run under 15.
The only real problems that most students have with Haverford's academics involve the school's size. It is true that our small class sizes can cause a significant number of students to get shut out from the most popular classes. Also, because most departments only have a few professors, if one of them goes on leave, it can mean a significant drop-off in the number of courses offered that semester. The good news is that you can usually push your way into a class that counts towards your major. Haverford students can also take classes at Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore, and the University of Pennsylvania, so if you really want to take something bad enough, you can usually make it happen.

text: 000 FXUS63 KDLH 221126 AFDDLH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Duluth MN 626 AM CDT FRI JUL 22 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Saturday) Issued at 353 AM CDT Fri Jul 22 2016 Another day of above-normal temperatures today but not as humid the past few days. Sunny skies today due to high pressure building in across the upper Midwest, then increasing clouds late tonight into Saturday as a warm front lifts north into the region. A chance for showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon, with storms likely in the evening. High pressure building in across southern Canada, stretching southeast across the Midwest behind the cold front that moved through yesterday. While there will not be much in the way of heat relief - 850mb temps in the 16-21C range today - the cold front has cleared out the low 70s dew points that were prevalent across northwest Wisconsin yesterday, and dew points are generally expected to continue to lower today in the northwest flow. Upstream dew points are in the upper 50s to low 60s, and through the afternoon those kinds of dew points are expected across northeast Minnesota. Highs today will be in the upper 80s to low 90s - fairly similar to yesterday. Breezy northwest winds across the MN Arrowhead and along the south shore of Lake Superior as sunny skies will lead to deep mixing, perhaps as high as 700mb, resulting in gusts to 20-30mph in the afternoon. Outside of the arrowhead weaker northwest winds can be expected as winds aloft are not as strong. Clear skies this evening, with increasing high-level clouds from west to east across north-central Minnesota due to late day convection expected across the eastern Dakotas. High pressure centered over central Manitoba will move east into northwest Ontario resulting in light/variable winds overnights gradually becoming easterly by Saturday morning. Temperatures will fall to the low to mid 60s, with some locations across northeast Minnesota and especially northern parts of the Arrowhead may fall to the upper 50s. On Saturday light east to southeast winds combined with some high- level clouds will result in slightly cooler temperatures - highs only in the low to mid 80s with low to mid 70s along the Lake Superior shoreline and surrounding areas. However, low level moisture will be on the increase as a warm front rapidly advances north through Minnesota and Wisconsin, resulting in dew point values approaching the low 70s in the Brainerd Lakes/Lake Mille Lacs area in the afternoon. Isolated showers and storms are possible by the early afternoon across north-central to east central MN, with higher confidence in mid to late-afternoon scattered to widespread thunderstorms moving into this area, with storms expanding into northeast Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin. These storms will be strong to severe, especially if early-day activity does not materialize. Moderate to extreme instability will develop by late day with 2500-4000 j/kg MUCAPE along and behind the warm front which is expected to be along the Highway 2 corridor by 00z. Wind profiles are favorable for sustaining organized clusters with 25-35 knots of deep-layer shear present along and behind the warm front, with a north-northeast storm motion of 20-30mph. With such a warm airmass still in place (despite the cooler high temps), 0c height of 14- 15kft AGL will result in less of a hail threat with these storms. .LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Thursday) Issued at 353 AM CDT Fri Jul 22 2016 Saturday night looks like another active night across the forecast area, with the surface low over southern Manitoba with a cold front slowly advancing across Minnesota during the evening. A very warm and unstable airmass will have been pulled up into the region ahead of the cold front, and will ride up over a leading warm front extending east to northwest Wisconsin just south of Lake Superior. Between the instability and the shear parameters, we are looking at another round of severe weather during the afternoon and evening. Have increased pops through the period and refined the timing somewhat. The front sweeps far enough east early Sunday morning to bring the precipitation to an end. Showers and a few thunderstorms may affect the area in the west-northwest cold air advection on the southwest side of the low, with precipitation chances limited to along the Canadian border. Sunday and Monday the heat and thunderstorm chances let up somewhat, with highs by Sunday in the mid 70s and low 80s, warming only slightly for Monday. Large model differences bring more uncertainty to the forecast by mid week, with fairly fast zonal flow with some fast moving shortwaves within it. Each of the models have some fairly significant placement and timing differences, so have kept some small precipitation chances in the forecast Tuesday through Friday. Temperatures will be near to slightly above normal during this time range. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Saturday morning) Issued at 623 AM CDT Fri Jul 22 2016 VFR conditions expected through the forecast period. Lingering fog expected to diminish by 13z this morning. Northwest winds may become gusty this afternoon 17z-23z, with gusts in the 15-20kt range. Fog may once again affect the terminals after 09z, and have put MVFR visibilities into the terminals at the locations most likely to be affected. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Hello all, I'm new to WordPress and am battling an issue that I haven't seen in this forum yet(Some which are close though but dont provide a solution for my problem). I'm running Windows 2012 utilizing IIS 8.0, I have rewrite enabled and ran through the Multisite setup with subdirectories enabled, the primary network dashboard works and appears fine along with the site, the standard site dashboard which is carried over from the standard wordpress install works fine and so does the site but what I'm having a problem with is that I'm trying to understand why, when I add a new site to the multisite network, the subdirectory site appears to be created along with a dashboard of sorts just without the CSS or the theme. It's resulting in pretty blasé view but gives me the impression it's being created to some capacity. You can see in this link. http://www.mferber.net/jack that it's devoid of CSS or any theme and missing some aspects but if you go to the main site things appear normal and fine http://www.mferber.net
Any ideas?
A couple of notes: I run this server myself along with the DNS, there's no godaddy issue here, if you're suggesting to reconfigure or set permissions to the host server I can do this but you have to be specific. Also, for the initial install of wordpress I used WPI which seemed to work like a charm but I'm not sure if it does anything funny in regards to WordPress multisite function, however things appear to be very vanilla. Also, IIS URL Rewrite v2 is installed and enabled as you can see below.
Here's my
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rule name="Main Rule" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php/{R:0}" />
<directoryBrowse enabled="true" />
<add value="index.php" />
And the wp-config.php for multisite config
/* Multisite */
define('MULTISITE', true);
define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'www.mferber.net');
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Condoleezza Rice, the popular secretary of state oft-touted as White House timber, has taken up the sport of presidents-golf. "She's got the bug," says a close aide. Now before you take this as evidence she's running and slap a Condi for President sticker on your car's bumper, we're reliably told that she took up the sport for fun. "It's one more mountain to climb," says a friend.
Seems she caught that bug about three years ago when Stanford pal Stephen Krasner, her former policy adviser, urged Condi to hit the greens. It started with a few lessons in Washington, blossoming into a love affair.
Now we didn't know about this because Rice chooses to play out of the public eye with friends, like on the three golf courses at Andrews Air Force Base. She even carries her clubs on diplomatic trips to Asia so that she can get in a few holes during long layovers in Hawaii.
How good is she? Her aide jokes that her handicap is "probably classified," but we're told that she didn't embarrass herself in 2006 when playing with teen phenom Michelle Wie.
Rice wants to take her passion for the sport to another level. Like helping Tiger Woods, who hosted last week's pro tourney in Washington, use golf to push major causes. "She would very much like to do what she can to raise awareness of golf as a sport," says her aide.

Movies in a Minute: Djengo Unchained
In an effort to save his wife from a Mississippi plantation owner, a slave turned bounty hunter is led by his mentor who paid for his freedom.
Bruce St. James said, "Oh, there WILL be blood. It seems that Tarantino is always trying to push the envelope. If his goal was to shock, he certainly hit the mark. From the language and use of the "N-word" (105+ times!) to the slow motion, graphic violence that must have required gallons of fake blood, this movie is extreme. The good news is that it is excellent as well. The actors obviously loved their roles and the story and while a bit long, it was thoroughly entertaining from beginning to bloody, bloody end."

Choking (cont.)
Choking Prognosis
The lack of oxygen caused by choking can result in brain damage or death in four to six minutes. Unless immediate action is taken to open a completely obstructed airway, the chances for survival and complete recovery decrease rapidly. If the object can be removed quickly and breathing returns to normal, recovery should be complete.

Alonso Ready for a Charge
Ferrari's Spanish Race Star Could Be the Man to Save F1 Season From Fizzling Out
So far, the 2011 Formula 1 season has been mostly forgettable for Fernando Alonso. The Ferrari driver, who won the world title in 2005 and 2006, is down in fifth in the championship standings and has yet to win a single race.
But as he prepares for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone this weekend, Alonso is more than just another guy on the starting grid. One year on from the most exciting F1 season in decades, he may be the only person who can prevent the 2011 season from going down as one of the biggest duds in this sport's history.
Through the opening eight races of the current season, the world's elite autoracing circuit has looked more like a one-man procession. Sebastian Vettel, the Red Bull driver and and 23-year-old whizz-kid of F1, has been almost unbeateable, winning six of the first eight races, including last month's European Grand Prix in Valencia, which increased his lead at the top of the world championship standings to a remarkable 77 points.
In all, Vettel has led for an astonishing 407 of the 496 laps this season and his tally of 186 points from the first eight races is the best start to a season in F1 history, eclipsing even Michael Schumacher's dominant 2004 campaign, when he won 12 of the first 13 Grands Prix and dominated the championship to such an extent that people stopped watching the races.
All of this is a far cry from the 2010 season, which culminated in a four-way, final-race shootout for the most prestigious title in all of international motorsports. With more than half the season to go, the 2011 championship looks increasingly like a race for second place and even devout F1 followers are beginning to tune out.
"I don't even watch anymore," former world champion Jacques Villeneuve said at a news conference this week. "Halfway through I'm yawning. It's a borefest."
The chances of anyone emerging to challenge Vettel appear remote. Mark Webber, his Red Bull teammate, and Jenson Button, of McLaren-Mercedes, are joint-second in the standings, but with a 77-point lead, Vettel could consider taking a vacation without unduly damaging his title hopes. The only time such a large gap was overturned came back in 1976, when Nicki Lauda suffered a near-fatal crash at Germany's Nurburgring, causing him to miss two races and allowing Britain's James Hunt to take the title.
But if anyone is capable of pulling off such an epic comeback, it may be Alonso, who has 26 career victories and is regarded as one of the most skilful drivers ever to climb into a racecar. Despite a 99-point deficit in the drivers' standings, new rules changes and recent improvements to his Ferrari car could yet see Alonso overhaul the reigning world champion.
"Formula 1 is an extremely complex competition," Alonso said in an interview before the European Grand Prix, in which he equalled his best result of the season by coming second. "If we can fight on equal footing, the championship is long and there are still enough races to move up."
Such talk may appear wildly optimistic given Ferrari's recent struggles. The most successful team in Formula 1 history was the sports superpower for most of the past decade, but the retirement of Schumacher and the loss of key personnel have caused performances to slump. Ferrari recorded an average of more than 9 wins each season from 2000-2008, winning seven constructors' titles, but has recorded just nine wins in total since then.
Yet there is evidence that Alonso is capable of taming the runaway Red Bulls. In 2010, Alonso staged a remarkable comeback in the second half of the season, overturning a 47-point deficit with nine races remaining to enter the final race, in Abu Dhabi, on top of the standings. Needing only a second-place finish to be crowned champion, a botched race strategy deprived him of a third world title as Ferrari's engineers chose a pit-stop sequence that left him bottled up behind a rival.
There have also been signs of significant progress from the Ferrari team over the past four races. In the opening three Grands Prix of the season, Alonso was 1.26 secs slower than Vettel on average in pre-race qualifying. But Ferrari introduced the first of a series of updates to its 2011 car at the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona in May, and has been closing the gap ever since. In the last two races, Alonso has qualified just 0.33 seconds off pole position.
Further improvements are expected at Silverstone, when Ferrari unveils a new package featuring a revised rear suspension, designed to improve tire-degradation problems, which the team estimates could be worth as much as half a second per lap.
"We're definitely in the right direction," Alonso said after the race in Valencia. "We hope to win a race soon."
Recent rules changes could also help Ferrari close the gap. From this weekend's British Grand Prix, teams will be banned from using an exhaust system known as a blown diffuser, which uses exhaust gases to increase downforce through corners during qualifying. Some say Ferrari will be the biggest beneficiary of the new rules, even though Silverstone's fast corners would usually suit Vettel's Red Bull better than Alonso's Ferrari.
Even if this season proves beyond Alonso, the evolution of Schumacher's Ferrari career offers hope that the Spaniard may yet challenge Red Bull's dominance. Having failed to win the title during his first four years in Ferrari, Schumacher then rolled to five straight championships with the Italian team from 2000 to 2004.
"I'd pay good money to achieve something similar, but what Michael did is very difficult to do in the current Formula 1," said Alonso, who joined Ferrari last year and is the highest-paid driver in the sport on an estimated salary of £30 million.
For the time being, Alonso and Ferrari have recently signed a new contract that will extend their partnership through 2016, by which time the Spanish driver will be 35 and not far from retiring, he says.
"There's plenty of time until 2016," Alonso said. "Every single driver would prefer to drive for Ferrari and finish third than win for another team."

Released: Nov 01st, 1987
Running Time: 70
Company: Fantasy Home Video
Cast: Brittany Stryker, Lois Ayres, Peter North, Angel Kelly, Mike Homer, Jerry Butler, Randy West, Elle Rio, Shanna McCullough
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Angel is anything but angelic in this compilation of some of her hottest scenes from such videos as Pumping Irene I and II, The Boss and Guess Who Came At Dinner? The first of the eight sex scenes also happens to be the hottest, with Angel Kelly, Lois Ayres, and Elle Rio pumping more than just iron in a steamy three girl scene.
However, the consistency of quality is not a virtue of this video. We are forced to sit through less than enthralling scenes such as the one in which Herschel Savage gets chewed out by Angel Kelly in The Boss. The excitement in this video returns as Angel and Peter North engage in a largely ineffective exercise to cool down after a brisk jog. Angel and Peter send the temperature soaring to the point where it is hard to believe they don't burn the felt right off of the pool table on which they are playing. This scene, complete with its slow motion cinematography, provides a fitting ending to this collection of scenes from one of porn's hottest starlets.
All in all, this video displays Angel Kelly at her best, as a sexually hungry and aggressive nymphette. A "must see" for Angel Kelly fans.

Used-car prices in the U.S. are poised to fall as the supply increases because rebounding new-car sales are putting more trade-ins on dealer lots, TrueCar Inc.'s (Nasdaq: TRUE) ALG division said.
The number of used vehicles available in June reached a low point because of poor sales of new cars and trucks from 2008 through 2012, and the federal government's 2009 "cash for clunkers" program that took about 700,000 vehicles off U.S. roads, ALG said in a statement Monday.
Greater supply will push prices down 5.2 percent by 2017, according to ALG.
"The continued strength of new-car sales is increasing the availability of high-quality used cars as shoppers continue to trade in their old vehicles," Larry Dominique, president of the Santa Barbara-based division, said in the statement. "Additionally, because of the popularity of short 24- and 36-month leases, the drought of used-car supply is already starting to subside."
Widely available credit, low interest rates and a rebounding U.S. economy have contributed to five straight months of U.S. new-vehicles sales at an annual rate of more than 16 million.
Auto leasing at the highest rate in years also has boosted deliveries. Analysts predict 16.3 million total new-vehicle sales this year, the most since 2006.
ALG estimated that the average new vehicle will retain 49.4 percent of its value after three years by 2017, down from 54.6 percent in June.
By 2019, the average residual value might dip to 46 percent, where it was before 2008, the TrueCar unit said.
'Economics 101'
Lower residual values could draw drivers away from new cars and toward used vehicles, Dominique said in the statement.
"It's really just economics 101," said Kevin Tynan, auto analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence. "Greater supply of these used cars will inevitably create weaker prices in the used-car market, and that'll expand the affordability gap between new and used."
ALG expects automakers to boost incentives on new vehicles to maintain their sales pace, Dominique said.
Tynan said that "short of throwing loads of cash at the problem," there's not much carmakers can do.
"It's just one of those cyclical things they'll have to ride out," Tynan said.
The Manheim Used Vehicle Index, which measures used-vehicle pricing, showed a June score of 124. That was down from 124.9 in April and from a high of 127.8 in May 2011. The index has stayed above 120 for all but three months since October 2010.
Before the 2008 economic slump, the index had never topped 117.4.
