There has been talk of extending school hours up to 5 o'clock in the evening. The feasibility of this move needs to be viewed from the effect on teaching, learning, the personal development of students, and the availability of school facilities.
The rational for extending the duration of school hours is to allow more time for learning, academically and non-academically. Teachers do not need to rush through the syllabus as there is more time. Weaker students can get more attention. Attendance for co-curricular activities would be better as it is done within school hours. Students would thus have more opportunities to develop their leadership skills, socializing skills and sports abilities.
However, more time in school does not necessarily mean more learning is taking place. The teacher may be teaching but students may not be assimilating what is taught. At present, students have difficulty concentrating in the last few lessons due to hunger and fatigue. This problem will be compounded when they are made to stay in school till late afternoon. Students would have less time to complete their homework and projects, or have little time to attend tuition classes to help them in weak subjects. It is unlikely that extra hours in school would solve all learning problems of weak students.
There would be little time for personal development. Students would hardly have time to develop their interests in pastimes such as music or swimming. Parents also have less time to see their children as they spend a greater part of the day in school.
The most serious problem brought about by extending school hours is the lack of classrooms. Many schools have morning and afternoon sessions because there are insufficient buildings to house their students. Extension of school hours means that there is only one session. It would be many years before extra classrooms can be constructed due to shortage of money and also space.
Nevertheless, one certain positive outcome from the extension of school hours is that it could prevent students from loitering in shopping complexes or frequenting video arcades. Parents need not worry about the whereabouts of their children as they are in the safe hands of the teacher within the school compound. By the time school is dismissed, it is time for children to return home for dinner.
When viewed from all aspects, the extension of school hours however does not seem very feasible.

Patient care in the NHS is suffering because the implications of giving nurses degree-level training haven't been "fully thought through", according to Heatlth Select Committee chair Stephen Dorrell. Mr Dorrell said not enough attention had been paid to the question of "who does the basic care" which more highly qualified nurses often no longer carry out.
08/04/2011 in NHS
Andrew Lansley will attend the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) congress next week to listen to nurses' concerns over the Government's health plans, PoliticsHome can reveal.
The RCN has confirmed that although the Health Secretary will not be making the keynote speech at the conference, he will take part in a seminar with rank and file staff.
The listening exercise follows the decision by the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister this week to "pause, reflect and engage" before going ahead with their controversial Health and Social Care Nill on GP commissioning.
Conservative chair of the Health Select Committee Stephen Dorrell said today that the way new GP consortia would be constituted under the Government's controversial NHS reform agenda "sounds like sofa government".
He told the Financial Times that new NHS commissioners will have budgets bigger than any council. "Would we contemplate district councils meeting in private without public access to papers and proper minutes and declarations of interest? Of course not. It is self-evident that there has to be proper governance."
29/09/2010 in Social Care
Chairman of the Commons health committee, Stephen Dorrell has said that vulnerable elderly people are being unfairly forced to pay for health care. Meanwhile, over 40 care homes and agencies have been shut down after action from the Care Quality Commission.
14/09/2011 in NHS
MPs have accused the Care Quality Commission of a "distortion of priorities" which saw the number of drop-in inspections fall by 70%. The report by the Health Select Committee said that the CQC faced unrealistic expectations, but chairman of the Committee Stephen Dorrell said the regulator had taken its "eye off the ball".
The former Conservative health secretary and current chair of the health secretary Stephen Dorrell has criticised government plans to ring-fence spending on the NHS. Mr Dorrell said that ring-fencing health would mean that other areas would face deeper cuts, which would lead to greater strain on the NHS.

"I chose this thank you note to coordinate with the Twinkle, Twinkle little star baby shower invitation that we ordered for my daughter's baby shower. Like the invitation, the card is not quite as glittery as I might have wanted even with the pearlized paper, but the website already tells you that so there is no real surprise there, and the paper quality is outstanding! I did find it better to choose white ink for printing the personalization, which is an offered option, so that made it a little brighter. Overall, I just loved the design and am really pleased with the quality of this product as well as the customer service offered by this company."
"The colors are beautiful & perfect for my baby shower gift. Unique gift for mom to be. So pretty & different for a thank you cards. She's going to love them!"
"I'm thrilled with this sweet postcard. The colors are as beautiful in person as they look online. I especially love the ability to personalize this with a return address. That leaves me with more room to write a thoughtful note and more time on my hands."
"Great card for boy/girl twins! Love the bright colors and the polka dots on the back of the card. A little smaller size than I expected, but still a fun card."
"This card was more beautiful in person. The colors are bright and cheery. I'm using them as thank you cards for presents for our new baby and have received many compliments."

FTA: "I'm here to reassure you and to call for a new patriotism of resistance." It is not just the NYT we must resist. We must resist the powers that be in the US Government that are trying to repress us and tax us, viz., Obamacare, into oblivion.Tea Party stands for "Taxed Enough Already". Our forefathers (Jefferson, Washington, Franklin, et al.) are spinning in their graves.

Very well done, Mr. Masko, but pollyanna.Calling for mass resistance against the onslaught of the "cascade" sounds good but I believe the reality is that most people, with a few notable exceptions, would rather keep quiet than have to deal with the IRS and EPA stormtroopers and other Leftist governmental harassment experts.

I have found that when people I meet get their information from the msm and pop culture exclusively all they seem to have is a fully-formed attitude rather than knowledge. They expect me to agree with them and when I don´t they are taken aback. When I give reasons they want to shut the conversation down. They are funniest when discussing Hillary or Sara Palin. When they say they admire Hillary and I ask why they say always say something along the lines of, "She´s a strong, competent, intelligent woman." When I ask for a list of accomplishments, not titles, they go blank. When I say I like Sara Palin their reaction is often apoplectic. I don´t know how many times I´ve heard "Sara Palin is an idiot." When I ask for evidence the old meme about seeing Russia from her porch is cited and I have to always tell them that she never said it. But nothing ever changes their minds.

FTA: "I'm here to reassure you and to call for a new patriotism of resistance.We need politicians ready to resist the media-government onslaught, people who will look inside themselves and speak honestly from their consciences, no matter the recoil and denunciations from the cascade."Long article but well worth the time. We all need to have the courage of our convictions and refuse to be silenced. Mr. Bundy´s resistance in the face of extreme government overreach may have been just what we needed to harden our resolve. Silence is no longer an option if we wish to live free.

I seldom call an article "important" but this one really IS important. One might think the influence of NYT had diminished over the past two generations and, to some degree, that is true. Young people today do not do what Masko did as a young man, read the entire first section word for word. In fact, most don´t read it at all. But the establishment press still does take its marching orders from the Times so, by evening when they get their news from Jon Stewart or Huff Po or MSNBC or CNN for that matter, it´s already been digested and handed to them by the Times early that same day.

Actually, there was a time when the NYT was a legitimate paper of record, despite its liberal leanings. But it has devolved over the years into a blatant and shameless propaganda organ for the Democrat Party. Their bias is so obvious now that it is laughable.I can no longer even bear to read it or the comments by its remaining readers, whose smugness and arrogation of elitism perfectly reflects the mindset of the paper´s columnists. Krugman, Dowd, et al., write with that air of Obama-Mussolini chin-lift that reeks of undeserved superiority.And my own observation is that the NYT´s "cascade" ends rather abruptly when you stop reading it or following any of its cascadees.

They are traitors to our country but we are making some progress in keeping our base educated and well informed. We must vote conservative no matter who the presidential nominee is.We can win state elections, as it is harder for the left to steal and the msm to distort and lie. Vote and educate.The war of ideas is another area conservatives would win hands down, if not for the msm. We should all help in this process to educate and inform. We have no excuses.

MASKO: A MUST MUST MUST READ and RE-READ !Masko has described in exciting detail, the "cascade" as he calls it of the NYTimes influence in past years over ALL NEWS!Thinking, writing, decreeing, monopolizing opinion, that was the Times! And in brilliantly reviewing past events and the Times name calling destruction of certain people like Clarence Thomas and Sarah Palin, Masko has described the phenomena of state controlled propaganda.Masko has gotten to the core of Marxist propaganda techniques when he shows how the Time OMITS, censors outnews, as it chooses. Vladimir Lenin developed the first statedriven propaganda back in the early 1900´s, and all of his tools of persuading the child like peasants, are in full use today here in America. This elitism is the essence of the promising, not delivering, persuader (liar), Obama.The only catch, we now have the internet to wash away all censorship of the state, the Drudges, Breitbarts, Luciannes, papers from the UK, anywhere, any time. No moregatekeepers. Freedom is thriving and coming back to America at lightening speed.Look at Fox News coverage of the BLM 200 armed attack on the cowboys and families on the Nevada cattle ranch!None of the networks touched it. Neither did the Times.When Rush went network, many years ago, he would tell his audience that all the news came from the NYTimes, nobody in radio then, said anything until they first read the Times. Worse, if people wanted you to know that they know everything, their standard was the Times. That´s gone now, the instrument of propaganda is dying fast.Masko has done a superb job of reviewing it all, even though he soft pedals its closeness, its endless similarity to Communist state propaganda introduced by Vladimir Lenin.The fanatic religiosity of communism is hauntingly similar to Islamic supremacism, both totalitarian, controlling ideologies.

Our government (both parties) trades legislation for votes and donations. Alot of people in government are getting very rich. Nevermind where the money comes from. Any wonder why the country is in trouble financially and culturally? Is this the way government is suppose to work? There are so many problems and scandals. Our government is so corrupt.Much of the media covers for our corrupt government so the reader/viewer has to take that into account. At least some in the media sometimes report accurately on the government.

FTA: "If I had to choose an old-man partner for a tag-team fist fight, I might choose John McCain, but I think of him as almost incapable of standing up to certain types of press criticism."WHAT? McPain's claim to fame is his military service, primarily, that as a POW. He became a hero by surviving five years of brutal torture by his captors. By that standard, there are three young women in Cleveland that are twice as qualified after their ordeal. His expertise on torture made forcing terrorist suspects to listen to heavy metal music or to sit in the cold into the equivalent of starvation, beatings, and mock executions. If you want to see worse torture than the terrorists receive at the hands of our government, try defying any of our government agencies. They can inflict mental anguish that has driven citizens to suicide. The press made McPain the darling during the primaries and the devil during the general election, but he still strived to please them, not us.The bright spot is that the polls are showing that the respect for the press is declining rapidly. The thing that is opening eyes is personal encounters with reality. More debt ridden college grads are unable to find work in that cold, cruel, real world. Family budgets are demonstrating that there is troubling inflation in the necessities of life even if the price of flat screen TVs has gone down. They're even starting to notice that they needed to bundle up during glowbull warming. Not to mention zerocare fallout.My favorite quote, "Figures don't lie, liars figure" is even becoming obsolete because the rat liars don't even figure, they just blatantly lie. Life is tough teacher, first you get the test, and then you learn the lesson.

When are the "dumb" Americans going to realize that Liberal is a euphemism for Communism and Progressive is a euphemism for Socialism?They either do not know history or they just love being dumb and need Mommy Government to blow their noses and wipe their behinds.Mr. Masko is saying the similar thing I´ve been saying for some time.Stop whining and crying, get off your dead behind, read the Constitution on Militias, then the Declaration of Independence and stand up like American Patriots.Stop staying home and not voting. Stand up like Patriotic Americans or don´t open your mouth whining about how bad things are.

Pretty good column BUT it errs in one way: once NYT decided to merge news and opinion, it became trash. This happened during the 1990s and was permanently ensconced by GWB´s presidency.Of course the "free press" has a long history of bias, the balance comes from different voices, not every voice being balanced or neutral. But there was a time, roughly the end of WWII into the 1980s, when the press tried to be more objective rather than less.WHY did it change? Hard to say. But as I mentioned, it´s just a return to tradition to have biased sources. It didn´t help that the Columbia School of Journalism decided to teach that there´s "no such thing" as objectivity, everyone has a perspective, but then they taught, "so don´t even try" to be objective. Maroons. The easiest interpretation of why they said that, is that they wanted to push one particular perspective (completely hypocritically), and you can only guess what perspective that is.

#20, thank you for pointing that fact out. A conservative piece that is presented in the NY Times or the Washington Post is more valuable than the same one printed in any conservative publication. Andrew Breitbart had to courage to venture into the opponent's camp and challenge their policies which earned him hero status here. Jesus went to the sinners because the Saints didn't require his sermons.Some of us that post on this site are too willing to use the label RINO if someone strays off their personal reservation. In my above post, I spewed about McPain, but I voted for him in 2008. Although he was not my top choice, he was by far the best for our country in the final election, and I would vote for him again if he were to be the Republican candidate in 2016.I was enticed to visit this site by an interview you had with Tony Snow and for years I couldn't sign up to post. I have never been disappointed here, and I continue to be enlightened. Thank you.

This is brilliant and true, all of it. There is one thing to add: the influence of the Soviet Communist KGB and the American Communist Party and its fronts over the years. We have been under attack for decades, and nobody knows how to undermine a society like the communists. See Trevor Loudoun, researcher extraordinaire, on this. http://www.bookwormroom.com/2013/05/27/trevor-loudons-new-book-on-communists-in-american-politics/ -- though many others have covered the issue over the years.

The NYT´s has simply become the Pravda of the Dimocrat party. Nothing more or less. And it´s, in part, because so many of their editors and "journalists" have had as their college professors those who came of age during the 60´s and simply teach how bad the US and how good communism/socialism are. As such they really don´t know anything else and refuse to look realty in the face. They are driven by emotion and not reason. One thing the founders warned against. Re-read the Federalist Papers, especially those written by James Madison.

It's so sad to read otherwise strong conservatives suggest that we lay down and give up. If I didn't recognize the screen names, I would suspect trolls. We cannot let fear of retaliation by an overbearing and arguably criminal federal government cause this to be the prevailing attitude.The Executive is out of control. Congress is too fractured to address the issue, and the Court now simply rubber-stamps the power structure. It's up to the states to remind Washington, D.C., from where it derives its power.I don't mean to get preachy here, but the Framers of the Constitution foresaw this day, and they gave us a method of redress – an Article V Convention of States to propose amendments to the constitution, proposals to reign-in the Leviathan, limited and limiting proposals that would become the law of the land once ratified by 3/4s of the states.We can do this… or we can lay down and submit. Article V of the Constitution gives the same amendatory authority to the states as it does to Congress, no more, no less. We've been given the right tool - at this point, the ONLY tool - for the job, and only a fool would refuse to even try to use it.There is a Solution as big as the Problem - An Article V Convention of States!http://conventionofstates.com

This is a very insular piece. I am mystified why so many here think it´s great. The fact is that the NYT is not a news source and has not been for more than 40 years. It is the fashionable lefty snob arm of the Democrat Party. Very few people outside of the northeast read it and it has long been out of touch with mainstream America. I remember when I was in college and Ronald Reagan became president. The NYT was angry, hysterical, dishonest and downright unhinged as they smeared and tried to destroy him for 8 long years. They failed miserably. Ignore those losers. Carlos Slim will own them soon enough.

Note, no one or group of individuals need fight this battle of resistance.Nor fear the retaliation of the IRS or EPA. The United States is a limited Republic who has enumerated specific powers to the Federal Government.To fix the Republic we must demand that our States lead the charge. The States are the only entity with the power to fix and to ignore the IRS, EPA and the rest of the alphabet soup agencies of the Government.The States must repair the damage done to our Constitution, Bill of Right, and the Federalist papers which enumerate the powers of Government.Until the States stand up for the people they represent, our goose is cooked so to speak.

Forgive second post - but it is like having mice in the house - never, ever leave food around - sweep up all the crumbs - lock up everything as tight as a drum - cupboards, whatever, containers, everything - starve them to death, and they will not reproduce or if they do, their offspring will starve as well.don´t spend one penny, minute or second learning what the popular media advocates, and, with luck they will disappear before we do (because that is their intent; they want us to believe that we do not exist).

We are the foot soldiers, the lowly pawns in the never-ending battle to preserve our freedoms. Do not ever miss the opportunity to stand tall with someone who puts everything on the line to resist tyranny. We shall prevail.Re-read this article regularly and go back and re-read #16 now.Above all, do not lose the faith.AB

#34, I will acknowledge that it is more than scary to take a stand, even if you're not alone. The latest polls show that 67% of Americans want the Congress to continue investigating the IRS - Catherine Englebrecht is not alone. PIAPS is being called to task at her events now by supporters of the Bengazi families – they are not alone. The Bundy ranch is now populated by supporters – they are not alone. George Zimmerman would have been lynched if true justice was not demanded – he was not alone.The press has tried to keep all these scandals under the radar, but patriots are coming forth to make them more public. As I stated in an earlier post, the Americans have lost faith in the network coverage, so somehow the news is seeping out. I, personally, will not stay silent if some liberal makes snide comments or uses made up facts or figures, and typically they prefer to end the conversation in short order.I read every post on any thread I post on and I have learned much from this community by means of their thoughts and recommended sources. There are many of my thoughts that I do not openly share because of my fear of falling under suspicion or some form of retribution, and I know that I am not alone in that paranoia. But in the spirit of the founding fathers that put their lives and fortunes at risk to give us this nation, we can hang together or we can hang separately – or if you prefer – united we stand, divided we fall.Our goal is a noble one, we don't want power, we just want our freedoms back.I humbly apologize for this third post.

Masko´s Times "cascade" also known as state driven propaganda is both grotesque lies told and reality not told. The NYTimes is like Hollywood that is controlled its Rule of Silence. Hollywood has not only aided the full propaganda cascades of the Times, Hollywood allows NO films that even mention the word communism or any part of Stalinist Soviet Russia mass murdr and Gulag enslavement. Hollywood front office executives and talent are carefully screened and controlled to silence. In the back lots, here are plenty of free market conservatives in the craft unions, but they are silent, in their work!!The BLM 200 sharp shooter attack of the Nevada cowboys will not be made into a Hollywood movie. Texas, New Orleans, maybe, some other out of state film hub, but never in Hollywood.The good news, all this truth is coming out via the internet!Times are changing! Breitbart lives !

Windows and SCVMM SP1 updates included in scan
"Are your Hosts and SCVMM Server up to date? And, does it really matter?'" …YES!
VMMUpdate creates a report of required updates for technologies used by the SCVMM server and all Hosts.
As well as components SCVMM and other technologies leverage…
VMMUpdate should be run on the SCVMM server and all Hosts once a month.
Be Proactive. Prevent Problems.
Doesn't Windows Update take care of updates for me?
Not necessarily. There are certain Hotfixes that need to be downloaded manually, but for the most part Windows Update is the key. Unfortunately, rules in WSUS are sometimes set up such that all updates required do not find their way to SCVMM systems. So, there are layers of complexity in keeping systems up to date.

Unfortunately, rules in WSUS are sometimes set up such that all updates required do not find their way to SCVMM systems. So, there are layers of complexity in keeping systems up to date.
Download the tool below by clicking the big GREEN BUTTON. Run 'VMMUpdate.x' from an elevated command prompt, or simply right click it and run as Administrator. Download the latest script version every few months below.
Instructions: Download, extract, right click VMMUpdate.x and run as Administrator!
This script has been tested on many systems. That said, if you run into problems follow the directions below.
Great tool!
I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 with SCVMM 2008 R2 and it was throwing an 2192 error, and after applying the hotfixes listed by the tool, the error disappeared.
Thanks Jonathan
Thanks for the feedback Massoud.
I just tried this out today and it worked well. Only problem was on my SCVMM server it is showing kb982523 as needed but according to installed updates it is already installed. I was curious what it is checking to verify installation? Also it is telling me to install AMD updates on Intel proc.
@hoyty76 - Please reply to the alias listed in the troubleshooting area above and I will work with you. Thanks.
@Roland - or anyone who has upgraded SCVMM from 2008 to 2008 R2. Please run this command and send resulting file back to email@example.com. Thank you!
wmic product >wmic_prod.txt
Even after several tries these two updates(KB2308590 & KB982523) fails to show up in the installed patch list.
Have downloaded and installed the EVAL version of the patch, restarted the SCVMM system after install etc,
My environment is W2k8R2+SCVMM 2k8 R2 EVAL+SQL 2k8 SP2 on VM.
Any Ideas what might be reason?
I've heard of this happening a bit. Help me out by zipping up the entire 'c:\windows\scvmm' directory and email to firstname.lastname@example.com. I'll know from this what to do. Answer one question in the email please: Were the two updates that are still listed installed by Windows Update, or did you download and install them manually? Either way is perfectly fine to do, but I need to know for troubleshooting. Thank you!
Great utility!
I'm getting this on all my Hyper-V cluster hosts despite already having the update on my SCVMM server and all agents are updated to 2.0.4275.
Andreas Erson
I like this ! only just came across this, ran it on a Windows 2008 R2 with hyper-V and it identified patches which i downloaded and installed ok, then re ran and it showed nothing required - great! Only problem is I then ran it on a Hyper-V R2 core server and it showed I needed KB981845, KB981314, KB981618 and KB2264080, downloaded and installed and re ran but it says they are still required, tried 3 reboots but the problem persists. I have run wmic qfe and it shows all 4 KB's. Any ideas ?
@Martyn. Interesting. Make sure you are running v2.4 of VMMUpdate, then zip up the contents of c:\windows\scvmm\vmmupdate and send to email@example.com. I'll review the data. Thank you!
I have SP1 installed on Hyper-V Server 2008 R2, and suspect VMMUpdate has not been updated for the SP. Please confirm. Thanks!
Hi Jonathan,
same question here. Reading the kb articles logged by the tool, I can not see whether they are included in SP1 or not. So I'm asking myself if vmmupdate is Windows 2008 R2 SP1 ready.
Could you please confirm?
Thanks, Bernd
Same question as Bernd,
is there a new version including the SP1 for Windows Server 2008 R2 and also VMM 2008 R2 SP1 ?
Hi There, I ran ... on all of my Hyper-V hosts and received the following error;
ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value
Any ideas?
Hi, great tool! I can't wait to use it but want to make sure the tool is still actual on 28 april 2012?
Thanks and good initiative!

The Shins have gone heavy on atmosphere, light on the rocking on Wincing the Night Away, which only makes it that much more effective on those rare occasions in which they do kick it in more than two minutes into the opening track, for example, where chugging guitars take the wheel and go wild in the streets on a song that begins in a space-rocking dream state. It's a sound they do well. But the focus on more mellow, more reflective moments hasn't hurt them any, setting up such moody highlights as the melancholy, tremolo-guitar-fueled sleepwalk through "Pam Berry," the ether-dwelling "Black Wave," and the wistful, Spector-girl-group charms of "Turn on Me," with its opening croon of "You can fake it for a while/Bite your tongue and smile/Like every mother does her ugly child." There are times here in which James Mercer's pining vocal style verges on the stylishly Morrissey-esque, which, on midtempo rockers such as "Phantom Limb," just about screams "We are so fucking into the Smiths!" But, ultimately, if there's any band this album sounds like, it's The Shins, albeit a different Shins than that of Oh, Inverted World. But the good bands always change.

Quick Turnaround for Vikings This WeekPosted by on September 1, 2009 – 7:27 am
The feel-good emotion that comes from a victory in the NFL will be short-lived for the Vikings this week. Just 4 nights after a 17-10 win over the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football, the Vikings will bounce back and conclude their preseason by hosting the Dallas Cowboys at the Metrodome on Friday night at 7:00 CT.
Included in the 4 days between games will be normal preparation for a preseason game but also something that Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress describes as the toughest part about coaching – making roster cuts. The Vikings, and the rest of the NFL's 31 teams, must be down to 75 players by Tuesday afternoon. Currently, the Vikings have 79 players on the roster.
The toughest part of coaching doesn't get any easier after Friday night's game, either. The Vikings must whittle their roster down to 53 players by Saturday afternoon.

hopefully the vikes can showcase rosenfels against the cowboys and trade him for a bag of jock straps or something.
By PurplePeopleEater on Sep 1, 2009 | Reply
He is starting to seem like the odd man out now. Jackson is starting to look more confident taking snaps. I still get the feeling that Jackson is the man that Chilli wants to trade though. Otherwise he'll have to admit that he just completely threw away this year's 4th round draft pick for nothing. Maybe a 5th or 6th rounder next year, but that depends on what other teams might be interested.

I have a tendency to agree with you PPE. Was it just me or did anyone else see TJack's look of resignation on his face after his series? He just sat there with his head on his hand and had this "Well this it. I'm done here" look on his face. I could be wrong…
By Canadian vikes fan on Sep 1, 2009 | Reply
Keeping Sage Rosenfels over Tarvaris Jackson would be one of the worst decisions the Vikings have ever made. Sage is a 31 year old journeyman, career backup. We know what we'll get out of Sage. Whereas Tarvaris is a 26 year old with a stronger arm, lotsa speed and is still growing and making better decisions. Please Chilly make the right choice.

Not tto bad. Favre made some nice throws, with some zip on the ball. He's taking too many hits for my liking. Our right side of the line needs to develop. Houston got a lot of pressure on our right side. Harvin made some mistakes, but give him time, he'll be OK. Way too many penalties. Ridiculous. They better clean that stuff up, that reflects on the coaches. Teams that get penalized that much are sloppy and undisciplined, not acceptable. They need to address that.
By Vikings1 on Sep 1, 2009 | Reply
I agree with all of you in that they should keep Tavaris over Sage, also Favre was taking too many hits and at that rate he will get injured. Something has to be done to help protect him more and is it just my imagination that Tavaris and Sage seem to get better protection when they play?

just a couple of thoughts,and questions i guess, but does anyone else think mckinnie is overrated i've never cared for him, to me it seems ap has his better runs on the right side and the qb gets sacked alot because mckinnie is too slow and gets burned alot

mckinnie to a couple of penalties as well last night.

I saw it too ibleedpurple. Jackson's face was saying how much he didn't want to be in this position. He was getting to know and like all of his teammates, they were starting to respect him and believe he could be their starter, and now he is forced to face the fact that he probably lost his last chance. Unless we keep him, he is going to be traded to or signed by another team as a career backup. I really felt bad for the guy, cause he was just starting to get a good feel for the game just a little too late. Not to mention how horribly our fans have treated him while he was on the field.

i think that the look on t jacks face was one of why the f did they have to call a fullback run on my series. i know its preseason but spare the kid some dignity. im tired of childress making horible play calls. i saw it last year when t jack was starting early in the season against good teams who you cant call chester in for a run on 3rd and 5 i saw it i hate it but we have the team that knows the game plan its too late to change the coach even when the game plan i s going to fail. t jack got a bad rap because he played tough games early last year with bad play calling. all that said i always did love favre.
oh and did you ever ask yourself why the vikes always lose to the eagles. maybe its because andy ried drew up our play book

my badz i guess it was ian johnson on the run during t jacks series but come on can you gauge a qb's ability when you have guys fighting for jobs out there with him and i like your style canadian vikes fan sage is straight but t jack can be the future a throwing vick baby
By blacknblue on Sep 2, 2009 | Reply
wow so many blogs to comment on, where do I start. Can't post on blogs again so this is in response to a few.If you think Sage is a journeyman backup QB and you didn't have a problem with our old man Gus last year taking over for TJ then there shouldn't be a problem with Sage. Every time I see TJ throw I can't help hearing swan lake. I bet I can put a vid together with all his great jumps. Jumps not throws mind you. It's either a back foot fade away jumper or a tippy toe, lame duck (swan). I can't even count on one hand where he has just stepped up and thrown the ball.
By blacknblue on Sep 2, 2009 | Reply
The OL has been poor protecting the QB. TJ avoids by running out (way too early)
or doing that stiff arm slap hop back thing that he does. I agree with the penalties omg that one drive with Favre was I can't remember 4 or 3 on one set of downs.
That looked way bad IF I were TJ I'd be PO too 1st half qb got another series in the 3rd quarter when I was supposed to play.
By rap99 on Sep 3, 2009 | Reply
BKACKNBLUE i was wondering if anyone but me sees the way TJ jumps all the time! w.t.f. id that about, he always runs early, and never throws on time.

Still way better than Sage.

De Gouveia: Some very interesting news coming through, good news for some 6 200 iron-ore workers.
Creamer: I call it the pretty face of black-economic empowerment. It has come shining through for 6 209 iron-ore workers who have become half-millionaires over night.
This is thanks to Kumba Iron Ore. Five years ago they gave share options to their workers, everybody below management from the cleaners to the tea makers and across the board, they offered these shares. It was only 3% of the company, which looks a very meagre amount, but that 3% over 5 years has become worth nearly R3-billion.
They have seen a magnificent uplift in the value of the shares and they have also been getting their dividends along the way.
Now this first ESOP as they call it, which is an employee share ownership plan, has matured. So, before Christmas you will have 6 209 shareholder workers from Kumba Iron Ore becoming half-millionaires pre-tax.
De Gouveia: That is the kind of bonus we are talking just ahead of Christmas. They certainly are leading the way setting quite a high bar if one can put it that way for other companies.
Creamer: We hear of CEOs and top management and MDs getting these share options, that is why a guy becomes a CEO, he wants those share options. You don't hear of workers getting share options.
Just look at what it has done for this company, their productivity is huge, their unions have backed this all the way. It is from the ordinary workers share in this without any discrimination and you see that it has set an example for the world.
De Gouveia: Certainly is good and I'm sure they are all going to be have a fantastic Christmas.
Creamer: In Southern Africa, we just look across the border and we see Botswana as a diamond giant, almost what Saudi Arabia is to oil, Botswana is to diamonds.
You think that they are going to dominate this without a fight, because they are up at 27% of the world diamonds by value. You start forgetting about other countries, where there is also a lot of diamond mining. I must say that Canada is popping up very sharply.
There is a lot of new diamond mines coming up there. They are not only saying that they are going to diamond mine, they are starting to go through the rhetoric that Botswana has taken a long time to go through.
Botswana is now saying that it wants to cut and polish, make jewellery, wants to have financial services and all the other aspects of diamond aggregations that people come to Botswana and Gaborone to select their diamonds.
Canada is now talking the exact same language that they also want to do this. You say to them but how are you going to compete on the cutting side with countries like China and India. The advantage of China and India is slipping away very fast because of technology.
The new technology that is coming through enables people to do it at a very high level. Because the wage inflation is rising dramatically in India and China and wage inflation is very low in Canada, it is becoming a different story.
I think Botswana, when they muscled De Beers into taking the centre of gravity of diamonds from London and putting it in Gaborone – and they succeeded in doing it and that process is taking place – I hope they never got the idea that they have got a monopoly there.
De Gouveia: There is nothing quite like good competition to motivate people to work harder.
Creamer: Yes, lets hope they do.
De Gouveia: COP 17 dominating headlines this week and some interesting news coming through that the South African Weather Service has now got a dual job – it must now also blow the whistle on air pollution transgression.
Creamer: This is very interesting. The new legislation that is coming through, the South African Weather Service Amendment Bill, which has been Gazetted, adds a new weapon to the arsenal of the services and gives them a new job.
They become pollution watchdogs. It is coming just at the COP 17 time and we see that one of their phases, and they are going to go through various phases of this monitoring process, the first phase is to actually set the building blocks in place and get all the legislative framework right. Part of the second phase is actually to also deal with not only the normal air pollution, but also the greenhouse gasses that they are talking about in Durban, the carbon dioxide emissions.
They are over time going to take over the role – we have got 94 monitoring stations around the country and we build new ones quite regularly – they are in the process now of taking over these air quality monitoring stations around the country from the Department of Environmental Affairs.
They are working with them on this new issue where almost in real time in the third phase, they will move towards a real time monitoring of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, so that they can actually see in real time what is happening and if these people transgress then you can move much faster.
We see that the whole idea is to improve South Africa's situation with regards to clean air and environment. Interestingly you see them also setting up now these air quality monitors being built in Limpopo province.
You know, Mpumalanga is the pollution hot spot at the moment, everything from greenhouse gas emissions to Nox and Sox and nitrogen oxides and sulphides coming into the air, but it is going to happen one in Limpopo, because we see the big Medupi power station going up there and talk of other coal-fired power stations.
This is being prepared through new legislation coming through Parliament now where the South African Weather Service won't only just forecast weather, but they will also forecast pollution.
De Gouveia: Thanks very much. Martin Creamer is publishing editor of Engineering News and Mining Weekly, he'll be back with us at the same time next week.

The Challenge Incarceration Program (CIP) is an intensive, rigorous, highly structured and disciplined program for carefully selected, non-dangerous drug and property offenders. This program has a high level of offender control and accountability. It is for both male and female offenders. CIP has three phases: * CIP Phase I has a sterile, austere environment with a rigorous daily schedule. Work, specialized training, chemical dependency programming, education and physical activity are planned for virtually every minute of the day from 5:30am to lights out at 9:30pm. There is no recreational television, and visiting and telephone privileges are severely restricted.* Following completion of the institution phase of CIP and with the approval of the department's Hearings & Release Unit, offenders are generally required to participate in the community-based Phase II for a six month period of time. Phase II programming requires that offenders continue to maintain a high level of positive activity. Strict accountability is mandated. Offenders are expected to contact their agent daily, submit to random drug and/or alcohol tests, maintain full-time employment, remain active in community service, participate in aftercare programming, and abide by curfews assigned by the agent.* Upon Phase II completion, the offender moves to Phase III. This is the last phase of the CIP program. In Phase III, the offender is expected to practice what he or she has learned in Phases I and II. The appropriate level of supervision is maintained by the agent to maximize the offender's chances of success. Phase III generally lasts for a six month period.
Participation in CIP is restricted to offenders committed to the commissioner of corrections following revocation of a stayed sentence and offenders who have 48 months or less in or remaining in their term of imprisonment, and who did not receive a dispositional departure under sentencing guidelines.Ineligible offenders include offenders committed or previously committed to prison for certain serious crimes against persons. Specifically noted in law are crimes such as murder, manslaughter, criminal sexual conduct, kidnapping, robbery, arson, or any offense involving death or intentional personal injury within the preceding 10 years.
Offenders are reviewed for CIP participation after admission to a state receiving institution. Offenders submit an application to the program and those applications are reviewed to determine eligibility based on statutory criteria.Eligible applicants are then physically and psychologically screened before signing a written contract agreeing to comply with CIP requirements.

Messenger beams back colour snap of Mercury
NASA has released a fetching composite colour snap of Mercury, captured by the Messenger spacecraft on its third and final fly-by of the planet prior to orbital insertion in 2011: Messenger's composite colour view of Mercury. Pic: NASA The agency explains that the photograph was obtained by Messenger's Wide Angle Camera using …
"The agency explains that the photograph was obtained by Messenger's Wide Angle Camera using three separate images captured through 1000, 700, and 430 nanometre filters - "infrared, far red, and violet, respectively" ... "placed in the red, green, and blue channels, respectively"."
So it's not actually a true colour snap is it? That would involve capturing the visible spectrum pretty much as seen by the naked eye. This OTOH involves mapping other wavelengths onto the RGB channels and calling it a colour snap.
It is however technically impressive, especially when you consider that a few short decades ago photographs from space involved retrieving a roll of film from a satellite. Now if only I could see how the fuck they think they can justify the expenditure.
again no polar regions mapped
what's going on here? just like when the earth surface was mapped recently, every inch Excluding 2 small polar regions. the reason given was that these areas were 'uninteresting'. what nonsense.
and just like with the earth mapping incident, i contend that something is being hidden from us by purposefully omitting to map (or show us) these small remaining polar regions.
now i think that mercury is also a hollow planet with holes through it at the poles, just like earth, and this is what is being hidden from us.
Is it just me or
Does this not look like a picture of a ball of rock in space?
Wouldn't taking a picture of a ball of rock and then sticking that on a picture of some space cost a lot less and look the same?
Anyway, Mercury is silver and liquid, so they took a photo of the wrong planet anyway, idiots
RE: Eh?
The expenditure is a lot easier to justify than the multiple times this that are spent on invading other countries (Iraq, Afganistan, Vietnam....)
But for starters, how about the weather forecasting that is only available because of spacecraft like Envisat? Or spacecraft that can tell the best time to harvest crops for maximum yeald? Or spacecraft to measure the level of water in the soil and salinity of the oceans (SMOS) that can improve weather forecasting, help further with crops and help model and predict things like El Niño?
Perhaps also looking at the other planets orbiting the sun, we may be able to understand more about the one we live on...
Waste of time.
It's look just the same in Black and White
Color ?
It doesn't look very colourful to me, more a sort of grey ball with pockmarks.
Maybe they forgot to click on something
Commentards are at it again...
WW2 and the Cold War were the main drivers of technology of their times.
Nowadays we have (natural, in my opinion) climate change and the exploration of our star system by un-manned probes, amongst others.
It's not a waste of money, it drives the development of the tech that you tardy whitless wonders will be frapping like mad over when Apple release the iPhone 49Gs.
Well despite what most of the other commentards
have said, I'm impressed. It is expensive to send probes out into the solar system, but it's worth it. You don't know it's boring until you send a probe there. It could have been full of topless sunbathing lovelies for all you know.* Or cybermen. Or are they all hiding at the poles?
*With factor 10000 sunblock on, safety first.
Next step, Google Mars!
Send in the rovers with the big cameras on top and cue privicy complaints from little green men!
Old news
I'm pretty sure Google has already driven it's silver vans* around Mercury and put all the images up on Google Crater-view [TM] (beta)
* all the better to reflect the sun's intense heat.
@AC 4th November 2009 10:50 GMT
If you look at any of the color images from spacecraft or rovers such as Cassini or MER, the accompanying press-release captions will _specificially_state_ that the fotos are _approximate_ true-color and specifying which filters are used to build the image.
Still, given that, you've got to admit that they come pretty goddamn' close, especially the MER rover fotos.
The issue with the lack of polar images is largely to do with the trajectory the spacecraft take on flyby manuvers such as the latest MESSENGER flyby; once they arrive in permanent orbit, they'll be in a better position to photograph the polar regions. (Jayzus, man, read the goddamn' articles, already; better yet, just go to nasa.gov and get all the details, perhaps take a chance and learn a little bit about celestial mechanics.)
@BristolBachelor: amen to that, pal. You don't hear a whole lot of people -- or a whole lot of Americans, at least -- complaining about the massive buttloads of cash thrown away on wars of aggression in Iraq or Afghanistan, or bailing out bankers and stock-brokerage houses, but Dog forbid we spend any money on healthcare, or education, or science, or expanding humanity's reach into the Universe. Nahh, that'd be a waste. No wonder this goddamn' country's going down the toilet.
For the love of Odin ...
The US has spent the equivalent of the UK GDP per recipient to get rid of poverty, and it hasn't worked. The most expensive government programs have been The New Deal and The Great Society. At least when we pay the military to kill people, they do it.
Now, if only they could do it to people who deserve it, like the IRS.
The Truth Is Out There
I spy no soup dragon but it sure looks like the kind of place that the Clangers might want to populate.
Anyway, how come El Reg hasn't got an icon for Gordon Brown yet? Surely we should be able to celebrate the man who saved the world from financial catastrophe!
If there were people on other worlds...
...I guarantee there would be huge budgets allocated for getting over there and subjugating them in the name of propping up our unsustainable last-century economic systems.

Henry T. Ellett
Henry Thomas Ellett (March 8, 1812 – October 15, 1887) was a lawyer, politician, judge, and U.S. Representative from Mississippi.
Born in Salem, New Jersey, Ellett attended the Latin School in Salem and Princeton College, where he studied law. He was admitted to the bar in 1833 and commenced practice in Bridgeton, New Jersey. Ellet moved to Port Gibson, Mississippi, in 1837 and continued the practice of law.
In the 1846 election, the Democrat Ellett defeated future Civil War general Peter B. Starke for a seat in the Twenty-ninth Congress to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Jefferson Davis. He served from January 26 to March 3, 1847. He declined to be a candidate for reelection in 1846 and resumed the practice of law.
He served as member of the Mississippi State Senate 1853-65, and served in that capacity throughout the Civil War. He was member of the State secession convention in 1861, and member of the committee that framed and reported the ordinance of secession of Mississippi. He was appointed Postmaster General of the Confederacy in February 1861 but declined.
After the war ended, Ellett was elected judge of the State supreme court on October 2, 1865, and served until January 1868, when he resigned. He moved to Memphis, Tennessee, in 1868 and resumed the practice of law. Ellett was elected chancellor of the twelfth division of Tennessee in 1886.
He died while delivering an address of welcome to President Grover Cleveland in Memphis, Tennessee, October 15, 1887. He was interred in Elmwood Cemetery.

I bought 2 of these on amazon.com for $50 each. The next day they went up to $80 or such. It was shipped from 2 different vendors.
They are heavy; very heavy. Since I use them for working out, I consider this a feature and not a disadvantage. I use them exclusively on asphalt pavement and equivalent.
They are very well built and I am sure they will outlast me.
I haven't take them for trips yet so I can't comment how they travel in checked in suitcases.
