When traditional woodworkers wanted to improve the speed, accuracy and repeatability of their work, they developed clever jigs and fixtures such as shooting boards, a flexible straight edge and a grasshopper gauge. The vast majority of those aids were user-made and disappeared from sight when power tool woodworking took over in the 20th century. Woodworkers today often experience unnecessary frustration because they don't know that simple shop-made aids can vastly improve their work. Jigs & Fixtures for the Hand Tool Woodworker changes all of that.
Once you've tried these jigs in your shop, you'll quickly see they will make all the difference between frustration and success in your woodworking.
Graham Blackburn is a noted woodworking author, videographer and lecturer, who has written more than a dozen books on woodworking, starred in a 16-DVD woodworking series and contributed to or edited several woodworking magazines. He's also a champion tango dancer and earlier in his career studied music at Juliard and played saxophone with Van Morrison and others.

|Fusidic acid in dermatology: an updated review.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20007058 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Studies on the clinical efficacy of fusidic acid in skin and soft-tissue infections (SSTIs), notably those due to Staphylococcus aureus, are reviewed. Oral fusidic acid (tablets dosed at 250 mg twice daily, or a suspension for paediatric use at 20 mg/kg/day given as two daily doses) has shown good efficacy and tolerability. Similarly, plain fusidic acid cream or ointment used two or three times daily in SSTIs such as impetigo are clinically and bacteriologically effective, with minimal adverse events. Combination formulations of fusidic acid with 1% hydrocortisone or 0.1% betamethasone achieve excellent results in infected eczema by addressing both inflammation and infection. A new lipid-rich combination formulation provides an extra moisturizing effect. Development of resistance to fusidic acid has remained generally low or short-lived and can be minimized by restricting therapy to no more than 14 days at a time.

Dear Sony,

- Sony Threatens Mass Bans for PS3 Pirates:
Exactly. I get annoyed that people buy the bullshit that the Sony spreads and assume that the only purpose is for piracy. Like you said, it IS what some people will use it for, but not the only thing. There are plenty of people upset that Sony got rid of the ability to have another OS, especially considering that was a major selling point for people. I also don't like the idea that Sony, or Microsoft for that matter, can tell you how to use something that you've paid so much for. You don't have …

R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co.'s third-quarter net income dropped 55 percent as volumes and prices declined.
The Chicago-based printing company also cut its revenue forecast for the year and expects 2012 adjusted earnings to come in at the lower end of its prior outlook as "challenging industry dynamics" and a weak global economy pressure its business. It's trying to control costs as revenue drops. The company spent $7.5 million in the most recent quarter on "employee termination costs."
R.R. Donnelley reported Thursday that it earned $71.4 million, or 39 cents per share, compared with $158 million, or 83 cents per share, a year ago.

This used to be a great nation.We won World War II.

Metz beat Nice in Coupe de la Ligue thriller, Rennes eliminate Marseille
Metz clinched a thriller to advance in the Coupe de la Ligue as they beat Nice 3-2 on penalties after both sides could not be separated at 3-3 after extra-time at the Allianz Riviera.
Metz could have been forgiven for thinking they would cruise into the next round much sooner after they raced into a formidable-looking 3-0 lead after 17 minutes, but that dream soon shattered.
Jose Palomino opened the scoring for Les Grenats five minutes in, before Modibo Maiga doubled their advantage in the 13th...

Lucky Find
I have to admit, in my 39 years of life, I have never found a four leaf clover. And believe me, I have looked! Well, this past weekend, I was outdoors with the kids and they were picking the little flowers that grow in the clover. I told our middle daughter to look for a four leaf clover and within 5 seconds, she came running over and said she found one. And much to my surprise, she certainly did!! Leave it to a 6 year old! :) We had to document the occasion with a photo and even though it's the day after St. Patrick's Day, I am stopping in today to share the layout I created.
I used the Elle's Studio March Limited Edition Kit, along with the Everyday Moments collection. The March Kit, had just the right tags to go with the clover/St. Patty's Day look on my layout. I started off by misting the background with a touch of Citron Color Shine to add a little bit of Green to the background paper. I layered several of the Elle's Studio tags behind my photo and also used some of the Elle's Studio March Cut Files to create positive and negative shapes to use on my page. I knew I also wanted to use the "Hello" cut files in some way on my layout, so I cut the word in three different sizes and placed them randomly on my page. Once they were adhered, I hand stitched through each word. And I actually had my page finished, without the large stitched clover shape, and I kept looking at it and thinking it needed something to finish it off. The idea of cutting a large clover shape from the cut files, popped in my head, and then I just traced it onto the background and stitched the shape.
We don't really celebrate or do anything special for St. Patty's Day, so I was happy to have a photo that would go along with that theme and work in the Elle's March Kit!

November 28, 2014
Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad has jetted off to Japan and India, embarking on his sixth international trade trip since 2011.
In the past three years, Branstad has toured several European countries, gone south to Brazil and Chile and has made three trips to China.
Since 2011, the state has spent less than $10,000 on Branstad's travels, but the Iowa Economic Development Authority's foundation, which takes private contributions, has paid out nearly $114,000. It will spend another $10,000 on the current trip.
Branstad's staff says the trips can yield trade deals or bring businesses to Iowa, though some note it's hard to know how meaningful these foreign journeys are.
Iowa Farm Bureau President Craig Hill accompanied Branstad to China earlier this year and says Branstad is establishing valuable relationships for Iowa.

Grilled Cornish Hens
I like experimenting with different foods and adapting them to my own tastes. These hens are one of my specialties, an entree I concocted by combining a few different recipes. The moist meat has a pleasant grilled flavor that's accented with cloves and ginger.—David Baruch, Weston, Florida
4 Servings
Prep: 15 min. Grill: 50 min.
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 green onions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons grated fresh gingerroot
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt,
1/2 teaspoon pepper,
4 Cornish game hens (20 to 24 ounces
In a small bowl, combine the butter, onions, parsley, ginger, garlic,
1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Rub mixture under the skin and over the top of each game hen.
Sprinkle remaining salt and pepper inside the hen cavities.
Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and
lightly coat the grill rack. Prepare grill for indirect heat, using
a drip pan.
Place hens breast side up over drip pan and grill, covered, over
indirect medium heat for 45-60 minutes or until a meat thermometer
reads 180° and the meat juices run clear. Yield: 4 servings.

Summer's coming. Time for a breather, right? I only wish it were so.
Since the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued its electric "giga-NOPR" on transmission access, stranded...
deliveries are made.
The premium paid should help determine whether to market under longer-term contracts or whether to sell into the spot market. Utilities differ in their costs of providing reliable supply and in providing peak-load capacity. Baseload capacity can be profitably sold under long-term contracts if the price is right. Peaking capacity often earns a higher return by selling into the spot market. The decision on how much capacity to sell under long-term contracts and how much capacity to leave unencumbered for spot-market deals should depend upon the premium paid in the futures market. As the premium increases it becomes profitable to commit larger amounts of the utility's capacity under long-term contracts.
Electricity buyers must make the same calculation. Some buyers can afford to purchase their electricity at highly volatile prices. For others a locked-in price is essential. Deciding whether a fixed price for electricity supply over several months is right for your company requires comparing the premium against the value your company places on price security. Electricity buyers can learn from the futures price how the premium negotiated in a contract compares to the going market premium.
The ongoing transformation of electricity into a commodity market should increase the volatility of electricity prices, especially during high-demand months. As this happens, the premium paid for price security will likely increase, making it that much more critical to valuing the different assets in a utility's portfolio of generating resources. t

Futures Pricing Relationships
1. The Cost-of-Carry Formula
Futures market analysts like to compare the cost of locking in supply for a later date: The cost of a futures contract measured against the cost of purchasing the commodity on the spot market and holding it to the later date.
A strategy of buying futures contracts will incur a cost equal to the futures price, Ft. Turning to the cash market will cost the current spot price, P, as well as the storage charges incurred in carrying the commodity until the later date. Moreover, since the futures price is not paid until delivery, while the spot price is paid immediately, the financing costs of buying on the cash market must be incorporated into the comparison. Finally, the holder of the commodity in storage always enjoys the opportunity to profit off of short-run price variations. This so-called "convenience yield" must also be incorporated into the calculation. When the costs of the two alternatives are equal the relationship can be expressed as the cost-of-carry formula:

Unique Train Exhibit Opens this Weekend for Parkinson's Fundraiser
Updated On: Jun 08 2014 12:25:36 AM CDT
A unique scale model train exhibit will be open this weekend in Montecito to raise money for the Santa Barbara County Parkinson's Association.
The trains are located on the Siegel property and have features rarely seen with home train exhibits.
They include bridges, tunnels, small pine trees, loading areas, multiple tracks and creative scenery along the routes. The tracks traverse the sprawling yard.
Inside the multi car garage there are more trains, and a Virginia and Kentucky back drop.
The event is open to the public with a $5 fee. The fundraiser will include root beer floats, hot dogs, a raffle and Parkinson's awareness information. The disease is growing in California and the older demographics are facing the challenge more than ever.
The home is located at 1143 Camino Viejo, Montecito. The fundraiser takes place 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Is it possible to run this mod using the Half-Life 2: Ep2 console instead of copying the Intrusion folder into my SourceMods folder? If so, how?
I really want to play this mod!
I downloaded and dumped it in my Sourcemods folder, and it does not show up in Steam. Anyone else have this happen?
Nevermind, it loaded in PacSteam. Isn't that ironic?
I wish I still had ep2, but my computer had been an ass recently. Need to download it again and soon will post a big review about this mod… it attracted my attention.
Because I have HL Episode 2 but it's not the original. It's not in my steam account. With the past EP2 mods I'm able to run them in the HL2 EP2 console.
I loved the little touches like the writing on the wall to move the story along and not having to worry about how crappy voiceovers in some mods ruin the experience. The text reminded me of Portal, which was a great thing. Some of the custom graphics were nice and added to the feel of the mod.
I enjoyed the mod til the last sequence. I still haven't gotten passed it because it is very unforgiving on the hard setting. Way too many spawning enemies. I understand what needs to be done but there's just too much getting in my way to achieve it. I could be missing something but I don't see it as I write this. There was one scene also where I wanted to see the new stuff but the spawning enemies made that impossible for me to do. Sometimes it's just nice to be able to view the level.
As for Philips spoiler, you can actually drop the three Auto-turrets down the hole. They can even fall down, be placed up again and still fire. But they're pretty worthless down there anyway. There is also an ladder near the pit that can't be climbed. Was this a bug or done intentionally?
I'm afraid I can't share the same enthusiasm for this mod.
As far as the positive goes, we have a fairly unique setting. It appears to be some kind of nature laboratory, complete with an arboretum and several examination areas. For most of the map, you wander through the empty facility, reading hints on the walls and seeing the remnants of the research that must have occurred there. It has the same aura Portal had in that respect. There even a room with a holographic Powerpoint presentation.
Where the mod falls apart is in gameplay.
Truth be told, there are a number of things this mod did that really ticked me off.
– The combat isn't balanced. The entire time, you're fighting Antlions and you have limited ammo. You don't have the Gravity Gun (an instant detraction for me) and you are pit against swarms of limitless enemies until you figure out what to do in each room. Compare this to Antlion scenarios in Half-Life 2, where you have limitless SMG ammo, the Gravity Gun, and often some means of preventing Antlion spawns – whether that's by plugging their burrows or by not treading on sand. Even some of the enemy placement was suspect. There were a couple times I'd come around a corner and get shot by some unseen acid Antlion I would have never anticipated.
– Twice in the mod, the author blocked passageways by placing props in critical spaces. Without the Gravity Gun, you are forced to "push" the objects out of the way yourself, or try jumping and hope the collision will forgive you, all the while taking fire from limitless Antlion hordes. This sucks. Moreover, you can't even close the doors behind you for some reason. Although the Antlions were never smart enough to follow me through the doors, it still struck me as an odd thing to prevent.
– The final sequence was ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Now, I will grant that the concept was interesting enough. You have to bring three plugs to their respective outlets on the other side of the room in order to engage the bomb, and then press the button to detonate the bomb. Sounds fun, right? Well, no. As I mentioned, you have no Gravity Gun, so if you get hit, you're going to drop the plug. But more importantly, you've got this insane swarm of Antlions. The area is so thick with Antlions, you can't even walk. There must have been at least a dozen of them, including the obnoxious acid ones. Don't even think about bringing those sentry turrets down there to help you, because the Antlions will fly right over and knock them down and before you know it, you're surrounded once more and unable to get back to the turret. Don't even think about killing them either, since for every one you kill, another instantly respawns. There is no temporary reprieve. I'm at a loss as to what the gameplay intention was here, but it fails completely. Perhaps I'm doing it wrong, but even if that is the case, the map fails to make clear what the correct way is. Then, on top of that… the ending… well, the most you can say is that there is an ending, since it only serves to demonstrate the futility of your hard work.
As far as non-visual aesthetics, there don't appear to be any ambient soundscapes, so you are playing in complete silence. You spend a lot of time in ventilation ducts, with misaligned textures and haphazard lighting. The architecture, blocky and overly clean. Not many props either. I realize the author was probably shooting for a somewhat sterile, Portal aesthetic, but I don't think it was accomplished here.
Overall, I was disappointed. Based on Phillip's suggestion, I was expecting something quite phenomenal, but this map really didn't do it for me. Sorry.
I agree completely with Kyouryuu. The author spent time on making the maps look wonderful, but there's not much time to appreciate it. Infinite enemies with finite ammo is not fun and does not allow for sightseeing.
Okay, although talk of illegal version of Steam and games is better left to other sites. I wouldn't know how you did it in the past but what happens when you try now?
Just for the record, I have a legal steam account. It's just that the HL2 EP2 game is a non-steam game this is not listed in my steam account (I don't know why) Anyway, I got the Intrusion mod to run.
Thanks anyway and I appreciate the replies. Love your site!!!
This mod is atmospheric if anything, using a variety of areas including forest, laboratory, and desert (Given it was limited due to the short size of the mod: 1 map). Think of it like Jurassic Park, but with antlions.
Now the main problem I had with this mod is that I HATE ANTLIONS! Not like you're supposed to 'like" an enemy, but the fact that they come at you in clusters to beat you to death leaves very little room to try to actually fight them. So you'll be spending most of the time running away from the giant buggers, which is unfortunate because it meant the only thing I could fully explore was any hall where the antlions were too dumb to follow me through (and texture issues in vents). Needless to say, these were not the atmospheric areas that I credit in the mod.
Along with exploring and running away from said pretty environments, you're on an implied mission to find a girl and meet up with her (but more along the lines of Gordon's relation with the GMan than an actual date.) Your path to finding her consists of multiple messages she leaves behind for you to follow. These scribbled messages on the wall are similar to the ones in hidden areas in Portal, but don't really add much to the plot or explain what you're supposed to do (other than the one at the end).
On an interesting note, if you speedrun fast enough out of the first room you're in, you can watch her die from antlions (and then take her shotgun).
The final part of this map would probably have to be the most frustrating annoyace of the map. First of all, because I was lost and trying to use the ladders in the desert area, only to find that they have no purpose and you can walk right through them. It's not really frustrating to find out that I wasn't supposed to use the ladders; it was more frustrating that I had to fight through a horde of respawning antlions while trying to pile barrels and climb over them to find that I wasn't supposed to use the ladders.
The more annoying part would be the end battle, where you have to put 3 plugs into a bomb and then pull a switch to blow it. There are 3 friendly turrets beforehand that you have the choice to leave behind. However, I'll put it this way: if you don't take all 3 turrets with you, you are screwed. With the constant respawning of acid and regular antlions (about 8 each), constantly batting the plug out of your hand every time you go to carry them, you NEED something to distract them. I managed to get one plug across without the turrets, and then the antlions formed a massive crowd around the plugs, the healthkits, the armor, and the shotgun ammo, leaving me with no chance of finishing.
*End Spoiler*
All in all, the mod was not bad, but that part took the cake in difficulty (especially without the forementioned). Still, every mod seems to have its share of really negative spots, and this one is at least not bad and easy to adjust from the mapper's perspective.
There's no real reason to go out to avoid this mod, but there's no extremely special moment that makes it memorable, I'm afraid…
this mod is good but developer should learn about area portal
I only made it past the lobby area & into the last 2 two rooms where the armor charger & then the room with the vent which seemed to lead nowhere anyone know where I continue on?
I am baffled by some of the comments…nothing new there then…I found this map a challenge but quite enjoyed it, and will give it another go before too long…However, am I dreaming or don't you just extract the whole thing to your Sourcemods folder and restart Steam? That's what I did & it's not only there, but playable.Mind you I do have a fully authentic Episode 2, maybe that's it?I for one hope we get more from the author! Please…!I so hate the new generation of Acid Antlions though…….Youch….
Screenshot 22 & 23 the last labatory room with the glowworm on the table theirs a steel table & a vent shaft but I saw no other way to go forward.
I nearly gave it an "Avoid It", but the level design and creativity mean that would be unfair. Almost as unfair as the ending of this mod! I couldn't finish it: I even tried God Mode but the antlions kept knocking the plugs out of my hands. On one try one of the plugs got knocked so that it was inside the bomb, so I couldn't pick it up again. If we could block the spawn points, or maybe kill a finite number of antlions, and then arm the bomb, then fine, but as it is it is simply frustrating. I do hope the author makes more mods, because this is clearly very talented work – but next time without infinite enemies!
Stuck in the hall in pic 17
There's a second air duct just off the balcony – am I supposed to jump into that and how?
I really enjoyed it !
The end is quite manageable, even in skill "3′, if you keep moving the 3 turrets, closer to the bomb detonator. With all 3 turrets just about even with the detonator, they all stay in place and it makes it much easier to plug in the bomb. They each must be moved a little at a time to keep all 3 firing at the antlions.
I enjoyed the map and challenges until where the turrets are dropped into the pit. The endless stream of antlions that easily knocked over the turrets took all the fun away. After a million reloads, I still had trouble inching the turrets towards the detonator – each time being totally overwhelmed with antlions and their deadly spit. So, I turned on the notarget cheat and still had my hands full. The plugs were always knocked out of my hands and then I had an almost impossible task of picking them up amongst the antlion hoard. I finally managed to get the bomb detonated. Let me tell you… the ending really sucked. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it! The last part of this map left me feeling totally helpless and ruined the whole experience. Sorry, but that's the way I see it.
I LIKE IT. :).Definitely contender for mod of year, I definitely like the end, it was creative and different.
more more more
I say no enemies should have infinate respawning capibilites. Just not fair play.
Infinite enemies in not meant to be fair.
You just DON't HAVE TO kill evey antlion. That's all.
The shotgun is only there to allow you to get past rooms easier. I'm quite sure it could be done without any weapon.That said, I love how this mod is different. In each "battle", you know from the beginning that you are screwed… Unless you run away. It feels like you can't really do anything.The last battle looks a lot like a last chance to do something useful, because you are doomed anyway. You risk your life to try to save others.And the ending is marvelous. I've got to love this feeling of "baaaaah, I didn't do anything after all. All this was worthless."
I recommand playing this mod if you aren't frustrated by losing. Some of the people above me don't seem to like that
I'm baffled by the high ratings, although I note there are lots of poor ratings too, like mine. I don't like play against 'the Spawn" until you die maps, just amateurish to me. Much of the mod was very good and then the last (I assume it is) sequence buries it. This type of so-called "action" gets slammed in the ratings with other maps.

New Firefox Beta Makes Opting Out of Ad Tracking Easy (Once Advertisers Actually Support It)
Feb 8, 2011
The latest beta version of Firefox 4 introduces lots of bug fixes and other improvements, but most importantly, it introduces Mozilla's new opt-out mechanism for ad tracking. What this feature does is add a message to the messages your browser send to the web server when it requests pages that lets the server know that users do not want to be tracked.
Going Multilingual: Hands-On With Google Translate for iPhone
Feb 8, 2011
Last month, Google launched an Android app for Google Translate, which allows users to write or speak a phrase in one language and then read or hear a translation in another. Today, Google also launched a native iPhone version of this tool, which works surprisingly well. The app accepts voice input in 15 languages (including German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Chinese and Japanese), as well as text inputs in over 50 languages. Spoken translations are available for 23 languages.

Feb 8, 2011
It isn't quite the Pacman doodle, but today's version of Google's iconic logo introduces a whole new degree of interactivity to the animated logos the company sometimes produces for special occasions. Just in time for Jules Verne's 183rd birthday, the company produced a whimsical logo that allows you to steer the submarine from Verne's famous 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea with the help of your laptop's or tablet's built-in accelerometer. You can also play along by using the keyboard.
Mobile Gmail Gets a Priority Inbox
Feb 7, 2011
Gmail's Priority Inbox has been a major hit for Google and, according to the company's own research, saves its users a lot of time. Until now, though, it was only available in the desktop and Android version of Google's email service. Starting today, however, you can also access in the Gmail mobile web app on most mobile browsers that support HTML5. These include early Android devices that don't natively support Priority Inbox yet, as well as Apple iOS devices (version 3 and up).

Feb 7, 2011
When it finally ships later this year, Firefox 4 will have gone through at least twelve beta releases since. The first beta was released in July 2010 and the final release is now set for around later this month. Going forward, however, Mozilla's director of firefox development Mike Beltzner envisions a very different release schedule. Indeed, if it is up to Beltzner, we will see Firefox 4, 5, 6, and 7 later this year as the organization changes the way it defines major versions and ships updates.

Feb 4, 2011
During the last half of 2010, according to AdAge, which got a sneak peak at the Audit Bureau of Circulations' semiannual circulation report, Wired was one of the few magazines that actually saw single-copy sales increase. The magazine's sales were up 28.2% in the second half of 2010. In total, Wired sold an average of 105,614 copies, which includes an average of 27,000 iPad editions.
Free Internet: 32% of Internet Users Regularly "Borrow" WiFi Access
Feb 3, 2011
Do you ever log on to an open WiFi network that isn't yours? You're not alone. While in late 2008, only about 18% of U.S. Internet users admitted to borrowing WiFi from open networks, that number has now grown to 32%. According to the Wi-Fi Alliance, a non-profit trade organization, far too few consumers take the necessary steps to protect their networks today.

The Daily: Old News in a Flawed Package
Feb 2, 2011
News Corp. today launched The Daily, the first new national newspaper in the U.S. that is specifically designed for the iPad. At the launch even in New York today, News Corp. founder Rupert Murdoch argued that The Daily will give his company the ability to innovate in the tablet age and introduce readers to a "fresh and robust new voice." For the first two weeks, the Daily will be available for free, courtesy of Verizon. After that, a subscription will cost $0.99 per week or $40 per year (there is no monthly subscription option). You can now download the app from Apple's App Store. Given that, according to Apple, there are already over 9,000 news apps out there and news apps have been downloaded over 2 million times, can the Daily really make a splash in this market? To find out, we took a closer look at the app.
Apple's Rejection of Sony Reader App Sows Confusion
Feb 1, 2011
To buy a Kindle book and read it on your iOS device, you can't use an in-app bookstore. Instead, you have to go to Amazon's website to buy your book. The same holds true for virtually every other iOS e-book reader. Yesterday, however, Apple rejected Sony's e-reader app for the iPhone, arguing that apps that offer users to buy content outside of the app also have to make their virtual goods available through in-app purchases (read: purchases that allow Apple to take its 30% cut)
Hiybbprqag: Google Claims Bing is Copying its Search Results (Updated)
Feb 1, 2011
There is a scandal brewing in the tech world this morning that has the potential to greatly tarnish the reputation of Bing, Microsoft's Google-challenger. According to Search Engine Land's Danny Sullivan, Google thinks that Microsoft is copying some of its search results. That's about as serious an allegation as there can be in the search engine world. In an early statement, Stefan Weitz, Microsoft's director of Bing does not deny this, but notes that Bing uses "multiple signals and approaches" when thinking about ranking.
The New Readability: Distraction-Free Reading Without the Guilt
Feb 1, 2011
Arc90s Readability bookmarklet has long been a staple of my online experience. Once installed, the Readability bookmarklet allows you to see a beautifully typeset, pure text view of any article you are looking at. The service wipes away all the distractions from the site - but for publishers, that can also make it harder to monetize traffic. Today, Arc90 launched a new version of Readability that goes far beyond its earliest incarnation. This new version introduces Instapaper-like reading lists and a micropayment system that pays publishers based on how often its users used the tool on their sites.
Egypt's Last Functioning ISP Goes Offline – Mobile Phone Networks Going Next
Jan 31, 2011
I guess it was only a matter of time. Yesterday, I wrote about Noor, the last Egyptian ISP that was still working, despite the government ordering all other ISPs to shut down. Now, Egypt's last conduit to the Internet has been shut down as well.
Google Introduces a Priority Inbox for Your Documents

Rand Paul Calls Out Hillary Clinton Over Indian Comedy Tour
Listen to the Story
Sen. Rand Paul asked Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday if she knew that the State Department sent three comedians on a tour of India. We talk to one of the comedians about what it's like to be a political football.

This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Robert Siegel.
And I'm Melissa Block. They say there's no such thing as bad publicity. Well, that's how three standup comedians felt today after learning they were mentioned during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing about the attack on the consulate in Benghazi, Libya. NPR's Elizabeth Blair reports that as part of its cultural diplomacy, the State Department sent the three Indian-American comedians to India last year.
ELIZABETH BLAIR, BYLINE: At the hearing today, Senator Rand Paul from Kentucky told Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that he could understand that she might not know everything going on in her department. One of his examples was this.
SENATOR RAND PAUL: I can understand that maybe you're not aware that your department spent $100,000 on three comedians who went to India on a promotional tour called "Make Chai, Not War."
BLAIR: That tour was created in the U.S. by Rajiv Satyal about five years ago to give Indian-American standup comedians like him a platform.
RAJIV SATYAL: Hindus get all up in arms, like six arms, if you...
BLAIR: The other two comedians are Hari Kondabolu...
HARI KONDABOLU: We saw this exhibit about ivory. On one of the shelves I saw elephants carved out of ivory. Did you miss it? Elephants carved out of ivory.
BLAIR: And Azhar Usman.
AZHAR USMAN: Me walking into the airport, heads turn simultaneously. Security guy's like, we got a Mohamed at 4 o'clock.
BLAIR: The show caught the attention of the State Department, which has, for years, sent American artists abroad. Rajiv Satyal says their tour was public diplomacy.
SATYAL: Kind of like ping-pong diplomacy with China back in - I think it was the '70s, a little bit before my time. But that was the reasoning. It was so show democracy, tolerance, diversity. And specifically, when you send Indian-Americans to India, it's funny because we're like them, but we're not like them.
BLAIR: Satyal believes their seven-city tour of India was a hit. After the shows, the comedians did Q&As with the audience, which was often several hundred people. But he also knows that a lot of people will be surprised to find out that the State Department paid almost $100,000 to send them.
SATYAL: In my standup act for the last year, I've been doing that as a joke. I've said that the State Department sent three comedians to India, which sounds like the beginning of a joke.
BLAIR: One final note, in the hearing today, Senator Paul called the tour "Make A Chi, Not War." Chi, not chai. Satyal says he thought that was interesting coming from a member of the Tea Party. Elizabeth Blair, NPR News, Washington.

November 27, 2014
RENO, Nev. (AP) - Nevada Republican lieutenant governor hopefuls Sue Lowden and Mark Hutchison traded jabs over the federal health care law and campaign debt in a feisty televised debate.
Lowden, a casino owner and former state senator who lost the 2010 GOP U.S. Senate primary, deflected criticism of $600,000 in campaign debt, saying she has submitted a repayment plan with the Federal Election Commission.
She says Hutchison has made it a political issue.
Hutchison, a state senator who represented Nevada in a lawsuit against the Affordable Care Act, defended his votes implementing it.
He says after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the law, he agreed with Gov. Brian Sandoval's plan for Nevada to set up its own health insurance exchange.
The taped debate aired Tuesday on "Nevada Newsmakers."

Despite a recent delay, the stage
appears set for online trading
in electric transmission capacity.
But come January...
the formulations ... in the SCUC software are virtually identical ... PJM's SCUC is able to run faster in general than New York's ...
"PJM solves the problem in an iterative fashion, starting from a reduced set of monitored operating contingencies in a DC representation of the [AC] system. Using this reduced set allows for quick and efficient solution times. "When the problem solves, PJM then subjects the DC solution to a full AC security analysis that incorporates all relevant contingencies. If this AC evaluation 'solves' (finds no security violations), the commitment process if finished. If it doesn't solve (i.e., there are violations of some security contingencies), PJM then utilizes software that analyzes the AC security violations to create modified constraints to be added to the original SCUC problem, and the entire process is repeated. ...
"[Thus] PJM settles the day-ahead market after that initial run, [and] as noted above, mitigation is conducted within that single run. ...
Alternatively, because of the multiple pass process in New York, four or five SCUC runs are needed to complete market settlement [for the] day ahead. This is a major impediment. ... My personal perspective is that while market mitigation requirements for New York City may require two SCUC passes, the current New York multiple pass structure isn't necessary when coupled with full financial bidding. []
"Certainly, a single SCUC run coupled with financial bidding and supplementary security commitments is a reasonable basis for the RNMC design. It couples computational speed with a superior market design approach, while not sacrificing any security requirements."
5. EX POST PRICE ADJUSTMENTS. "Where a difference does exist ... it is not with respect to physical security, but rather with respect to the associated business rules, and [their] impact ... on pricing. Perhaps this is where the confusion arises.
"In the New York ISO market structure, there is no virtual or financial bidding capability in the day-ahead markets. [Editor's Note: The New York ISO has been working to correct this shortcoming, and in fact financial bidding (bidding by buyers and sellers other than physical generators or load-serving entities) was approved for New York by the FERC on Oct. 24.
"As a result, it is necessary to reflect the pricing impacts of additional additional commitments." [i.e., to impose "artificial" or ex post adjustments to market-clearing prices to reflect the impact of generating plants not actually dispatched but dedicated and on call to meet special security requirements.]
"This process is employed because the absence of financial bidding instruments in the New York market would result in a structural arbitrage between the day-ahead and real-time market without it.
"This simply isn't needed in the PJM design ... [with] ... a full set of financial bidding tools. ... In the PJM market structure, the day-ahead market prices clear based solely on participant bids. Any additional security commitments not met through the day-ahead bidding are implemented as needed, but do not affect the day-ahead market-clearing prices."
6. MITIGATING MARKET POWER. "The New York ISO suggests through its Option 1-M plan that the PJM market model,

Whether you support the Cards or the Cats, you know the game is today at 4:00 p.m., airing on CBS. If you were lucky enough to score tickets to the game in Lexington, consider yourself the envy of everyone else!
In case you've been living under a basketball deprived rock, the University of Louisville Cardinals and the University of Kentucky Wildcats have one of the longest standing and most fierce rivalries in the world of college basketball. Let's keep it classy, Louisville: no couch burning, no matter who wins, and try to remember that's we're all from Kentucky and the world doesn't exactly need another excuse to think we're backwoods hillbillies who do things like burn couches and get into fights at a dialysis center over college basketball.
Also, consider supporting a local bar, like Checks, Monkey Wrench, The Back Door, or Zanzabar to watch the game. Get some good local grub, some great beer, and settle down for what's sure to be an exciting match.
Make sure you check Louisville.com for the outcome of the big game!

Advantage Card to Offer Bonuses
Henrico County and several county business associations are partnering to create a new program that they hope will boost county businesses and save shoppers money while celebrating the county's quadricentennial celebration in 2011. The county and the Eastern Henrico Business Association, Lakeside Business Association and Henrico Business Leaders this week unveiled the Henrico Advantage Card (HAC) program, which will offer cardholders rewards when they make purchases at participating retailers.
The card is free and will be available at various retail locations throughout the county. Shoppers who show the card while making purchases at participating stores, restaurants and other businesses will receive "bonuses" for doing so – such as a discount on their purchases or a free gift, for example.
The participating businesses will determine what type of bonus to offer, and when to offer them, and all current offers will be displayed on the program's soon-to-be completed ed website – http://www.HenricoAdvantageCard.com.
The program is not expected to begin officially for several weeks, but organizers already are lining up corporate sponsors, whose advertisements will be featured on the website and weekly e-mail newsletters distributed to cardholders.
"The effort is all about buying and shopping locally," said Henrico County Finance Director John Vithoulkas, a member of the program's organizing committee. "We obviously want regional residents to spend money in Henrico. We've had conversations with some of our businesses about the concept, and the initial feedback has been extremely enthusiastic."
The concept for the program was hatched when Varina District Supervisor Jim Donati visited The Berkshires region of western Massachusetts, where many local businesses use a local paper currency called "Berkshares." That four-year-old program was designed to save shoppers money (they can purchase Berkshares for 95 cents on the dollar from local banks) and boost local spending (since only local merchants accept Berkshares).
"This local currency has gotten a lot of attention nationally," Vithoulkas said. "We thought about [currency]; we also thought about a local coupon that looks like [currency] – and what if we put local figures on it and tied it to the 400th anniversary?"
Ultimately, the organizing committee – which also includes EHBA president Mark Romers, Henrico Business Leaders founder Joe Winston and several other individuals – opted to create the Henrico Advantage Card as a simple way for retailers to offer their own unique specials to shoppers. An initial batch of 10,000 cards was printed last month, with subsequent printings expected as those cards are distributed.
The program is expected to continue through Dec. 31, 2011.
Once the program's website becomes active, shoppers can visit, submit their name and e-mail address and find out where to pick up a free card. They'll also be able to view all current participating businesses and their active offers and sort merchants by industry or region.
"It's designed so businesses can go in and and fairly easily put promotions and offers out to residents," Vithoulkas said.
BB&T already has signed up as a major program partner and will offer the cards for distribution at each branch location in Henrico County. Organizers expect to add several other major sponsors soon. Several sponsorship levels are available.
The program's expenses – design and operation of the website and the printing of cards and other materials for retailers – will be financed through the sponsorships. Retailers who merely want to participate in the program but do not wish to serve as sponsors will be able to do so by purchasing a basic "retail kit," which will permit a business to list its information on the website and receive identifying in-store materials to display for customers. The basic kit is expected to cost less than $100.
"I know of no other locality that has undertaken an effort like this," Vithoulkas said. "It's a unique partnership: the county provides time, expertise and seed money – less than $10,000 – and businesses [do the legwork]."
Editor's Note: Citizen Publisher Tom Lappas has been involved as a member of the organizing committee as a representative of the Lakeside Business Association.

CCC seeks donations for food pantry
Citizen Staff Reports 11/12/2014
Commonwealth Catholic Charities is in desperate need of food donations for its community food pantry that serves the region's low-income families, according to officials with the Henrico-based nonprofit.
After moving into its new location this past summer, the agency has dedicated a larger space for the pantry but the shelves are practically empty.
"As we head into the holidays and the weather turns colder, the need for food becomes even more critical, but unfortunately our cupboards are nearly bare," said Jay Brown, the agency's director for the division of housing services. "Donations of food will allow us help provide." > Read more.

Tomato and Tapenade Tartlets
Published: August 2008 Servings: Makes 6
- 1 17.3-ounce package frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
- 1/2 cup (about) green- or black-olive tapenade*
- 5 to 6 ripe medium tomatoes, preferably assorted colors, cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 12 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
- Fleur de sel or coarse kosher salt
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Balsamic vinegar
- 18 small fresh basil leaves
- 6 green or black olives, pitted, sliced
PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Position racks in top third and bottom third of oven. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Working with 1 pastry sheet at a time, roll out on floured surface to 13-inch square. Using 6-inch-diameter plate, cut out 4 rounds from 1 sheet and 2 rounds from second sheet (reserve remaining pastry for another use). Transfer 3 rounds to each baking sheet. Pierce each round with fork. Top rounds with another sheet of parchment. Place another baking sheet atop parchment on each sheet.
Place 1 baking sheet stack on each rack in oven and bake 10 minutes. Rotate baking sheets and bake until rounds are golden, about 10 minutes longer. Using oven mitts, carefully remove top baking sheets and top sheets of parchment. Continue baking pastries until deep golden, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer sheets to rack to cool. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
Increase oven temperature to 450°F. Spread generous tablespoon tapenade over each pastry round, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges. Alternate 4 tomato slices with 4 mozzarella slices atop each pastry in pinwheel pattern. Bake just until cheese begins to melt, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with fleur de sel and pepper, then drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Arrange a few basil leaves and olive slices atop each tartlet and serve immediately.
*A thick paste or spread made from brine-cured olives, capers, anchovies, and various seasonings; available at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Italian markets.

I finally got around to watching Steven Soderbergh's Haywire a couple of weeks ago.
Haywire stars former mixed martial artist Gina Carano as a double-crossed secret agent.
Although this character and scenario are far from startlingly original, the film is fresh.
Haywire eschews the electroconvulsive pacing and wood-chipper editing of most action films.
I especially liked that the fight scenes were shot like Dancing With the Stars routines – the fight choreography is unadorned by trickery and is always easy to follow.
More often than not, a contemporary movie fight scene is about as visually coherent as a wind tunnel full of mannequin parts and carpet remnants.
Carano has been tapped to star in a film that is being billed as a female version of The Expendables,' and that got me to wondering what such a spin-off might look like.
The Expendables series unites male action stars who were too famous in the '80s to unite but may be too obscure in the 21st century not to.
The action genre just never produced female equivalents to Sylvester Stallone or Jean Claude Van Damme. Part of the reason for this, I think, is neatly, if paradoxically, exemplified in all that is great about Haywire.
Most men watching Haywire, whether they care to admit it openly or not, know Carano can beat them up.
Guys don't seem to feel so bad knowing that Mark Wahlberg or LL Cool J can beat them up. But they are uncomfortable with the idea that Carano, or someone like her, can beat them up.
Where female action stars are concerned, guys are more comfortable with actresses who don't resemble action heroes so much as they resemble fashion models who have starved themselves for the chance to wear haute couture clothing inspired by action heroes. Guys will also not readily reject an actress who looks like she has risen, Venus-like and Jessica Rabbit-like, from the pages of a comic book.
If you haven't seen a comic book lately, suffice it to say that all the heroines are drawn as if their main archenemies are Inadequately Weened Man and Captain Resentment-Over-Having-Been-Bottle-Fed.
The movies that result from these mindsets and marketing conceits traffic in action scenes that are both overcooked and half-baked, and they wink at the mostly male audience.
They wink as if to say, Oh sure, she may be puttin' a whuppin' on the bad guys now, but what she'd prefer to be doing is whipping you up a plate of fully loaded nachos and then massaging your bunions while you watch reruns of Duck Dynasty.'
The starlets in these entertainments, whether they are fighting zombies, werewolves, or Crispin Glover, all dress like dominatrixes.
Preparing oneself for battle with monsters and master criminals in the same way that a dominatrix might prepare herself for a sadomasochistic session with a pudgy stockbroker isn't always an absurd thing to do.
As we are all well aware, a werewolf's only vulnerabilities are silver bullets and silver spanking paddles.
Plus, a female action hero never can predict when she is going to encounter that 40-foot-tall super-villain known as Captain Pudgy Stockbroker. But it is an almost always absurd thing to do.
The sad truth is this: Movies like Haywire and Hunger Games notwithstanding, the female action hero has not progressed very far from the heyday of the Charlie's Angels TV series.
Whatever her powers or abilities, a heroine is proudest of her mastery over sex.
Whatever weaponry is in her arsenal, a heroine never leaves home without a full battery of sexy outfits.
Correct me if I'm wrong (telepathically, I guess), but don't you just know that a female version of Iron Man would never make it to the big screen without giant metal bosoms embossed in her battle armor?
A female version of The Expendables should really star the sort of imposing actresses and formidable athletes who actually intimidate men (Angela Bassett, Cynthia Rothrock, Michelle Yeoh and Michelle Rodriguez come to mind).
But the best we can probably hope for is actresses and performances that exemplify the phrase tough yet vulnerable.
Tough yet vulnerable means we can never be sure whether our female action hero is going to fight or cry.
There is only one thing we can ever know for certain: She makes a mean plate of fully loaded nachos.

The peacock is a beautiful bird, and a cupcake is a thing of beauty, too. As a matter of fact, a group of wild peafowl is called a party (thank you, Wikipedia), and I scarf cupcakes at parties… coincidence??? I think not. I think they have so much in common, it was only a matter of time before Lace and Cakes turned these pretty birds into gorgeous cupcakes.
However, peacocks can also be kind of aggressive and scary. Do you know what else is kind of aggressive and scary? Aliens. Hmm, I wonder what a scary alien peacock cupcake would look like…
Yikes! Reader Robine reports eating up six hours to make these edible little guys, except it turned out they were barely even edible!
Hey, did you know peacocks can fly? (Thanks again, Wikipedia.) Since we can't eat them, I say we open the window and see how much these freaky cakes really have in common with their birdy inspiration.

GLEN BURNIE, Md. (AP) -- A vigil is being planned for a retired school teacher who was shot and killed in a Glen Burnie parking lot three years ago.
The Capital of Annapolis (http://bit.ly/1dGNdtE ) reports the vigil for Myra Cason will be held Jan. 25.
Carson as found shot to death inside her car on Jan. 21, 2011. The car was in the parking lot outside Gavigan's Furniture in the 7300 block of Ritchie Highway. Cason's sister says the vigil will be held at 2 p.m. in the parking lot where she was found.
No one has been charged in Carson's death, but county police announced in November that a newly formed team of retired detectives would review Cason's case along with other unsolved homicides.
