Try New Approaches
The star Aldebaran, in the constellation Taurus, is about 50 times larger and about 100 times more luminous than the Sun. It appears far less bright, however, because it is so far away from Earth. Demonstrate how distance affects the apparent magnitude of stars with unequal luminosity. Repeat the experiment using two flashlights, fresh batteries in one and weak batteries in the other.
Design Your Own Experiment
- Design a model to illustrate how distance affects the apparent magnitude of stars with equal luminosity. One way is to make a drawing using lines to indicate luminosity. In Figure 8.2, the three stars emit the same amount of energy, as indicated by the number of lines (6) in the boxes. The numbers show, however, that their apparent magnitude varies, with the closest star appearing the brightest (having the lowest lowest magnitude number).
- Design an experiment to measure the apparent magnitude of stars. One way is to make a brightness viewer. The following steps provide a method for testing the brightness of a magnitude 1 star.
- Punch two holes near the short edge of an index card. Label the card "Magnitude 1."
- Cover one of the holes with a piece of transparent (not frosted) tape (see Figure 8.3). The covered hole is the testing hole. The uncovered hole is the viewing hole.
- To calibrate the viewer: (1) Through the viewing hole, look at a star known to be of magnitude 1. For information about star magnitude, see Terence Dickinson's Night Watch (Willowdale, Ontario: Firefly Books, 1998), pp. 100–119. (2) Look at the same star through the testing hole. The star should be barely visible. If it appears bright, add more layers of tape until the star is barely visible. Note: Be careful to keep the layers of tape clean and wrinkle free.
- To use the viewer, find a star by looking through the viewing hole. Then move the viewer so that you look at the same star through the testing hole. If you can barely see the star, it has a magnitude of 1 or less.
- To identify stars with magnitudes greater than 1, repeat the previous experiment for stars of greater magnitude.
- Design an experiment to measure the apparent magnitude of stars. One way is to make a brightness viewer. The following steps provide a method for testing the brightness of a magnitude 1 star.
- The stars that make up the bowl of the constellation Ursa Minor, commonly called the Little Dipper, have magnitudes of 2, 3, 4, and 5 (see Figure 8.4). Use these stars as a "magnitude scale in the sky" against which the magnitudes of other stars can be compared and estimated.
Get the Facts
Some stars give off much more light than the Sun, but Earth receives thousands of millions of times more light from the Sun than from any other star. Why? To compare the light outputs of the Sun and other stars, astronomers use an absolute magnitude scale. How was it developed? How does it work? For information, see the National Audubon Society Field Guide to the Night Sky (New York: Knopf, 1995), pp. 24–25.

Nice heavy, well made watch. The dial large enough to see. The band was somewhat too large but I had a few links taken out. I have received numerous comments about the watch.
Beautiful design. Yes, automatic watches have to be worn or they won't keep running (it's like a pocket watch, you have to wind it, except your movement winds it automatically, hence the name). It'd be nice if they spelled out specific use guidelines, but it is in the product description that it is an automatic movement watch. Alternatively if you if you won't be wearing it every day you can search for a watch winder that you can store the watch in and it will rotate it for you. They're available here from $55, which adds to the cost of owning the watch but if you have multiple and want to rotate wearing them it's a worthy investment if you want them to keep time. Plus that's equivalent to maybe 5 years of batteries you won't have to pay to replace in this watch. It's quite large for a women's design and I have no trouble pulling it off as a male. The partial open skeleton dial is a lovely touch without stealing primary focus from the black scheme.
This is a perpetual motion watch, which means you have to wear it all of the time. If you take it off it stops within a day. I wound it like the instructions say. Still stops within a day. Item returned.

Yankee Stadium, New York, New York
NEW YORK -- Derek Jeter arrived at his locker, turned on the computer touch screen and immediately checked the weather radar.
The forecast? Storms, rather than hits.Jeter's chances to get his 3,000th hit at Yankee Stadium dwindled Friday night when New York's game against Tampa Bay was rained out and the teams tangled on a makeup date. The postponement left him two hits shy of the milestone, with two games remaining on the homestand.The Yankees said they didn't want to play a traditional doubleheader Saturday. General manager Brian Cashman gave a succinct answer on why not: "Gate," he said.Instead, the Yankees proposed a day-night doubleheader. The Rays voted that down, and the sides finally agreed on Sept. 22, a mutual off day that followed a two-game series between the teams in New York."I don't think there's really a win," Rays star Evan Longoria said. "I think we all know why they'd like to get these three games in and obviously they're rooting for Derek to get his 3,000th hit here in this series. I mean, we'd like to see him do it, too. And he's got two more days to do it."After that, Jeter gets a break. He pulled himself from next week's All-Star Game to rest his injured calf."Unfortunately, I won't be able to go," he said.Later, as showers, lightning and thunder hovered over the ballpark, two teams that don't really like each other too much bumped again. Most of their scrapes have come on the field. This time, a scheduling conflict."Whether I'm frustrated or not, it doesn't matter," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "It was important to us, it was important to our fans."The sides will play afternoon games on Saturday and Sunday, with Rays aces David Price and James Shields starting. Jeter is at 2,998 hits and those are his last tries at home before the All-Star break. The Yankees begin the second half with an eight-game road trip.Jeter has a large throng of family and friends in town and desperately wants to make history with them in attendance. He's trying to become the 28th major leaguer to reach the mark and the first to do it with the Yankees.In mid-afternoon, Jeter played amateur forecaster while bad weather approached the area."Green is not as bad as yellow," he said, looking at the map.The colors conspired against him, however, just as the strained right calf that recently put him on the disabled list will prevent him from playing in Phoenix next Tuesday.Teammate Alex Rodriguez also will be absent from the All-Star Game because of a sore knee, and closer Mariano Rivera will miss the showcase because of a tender right triceps.Jeter is a 12-time All-Star and was elected by fans to start at shortstop for the American League. Girardi said it was totally Jeter's decision to skip the festivities.Jeter said he talked it over with Girardi, Cashman and trainer Gene Monahan."It's probably best not to push it because it's most important to be ready for the second half. That's where my focus has to be," Jeter said. "It's unfortunate because you know how much I enjoy going to All-Star games.""I'm trying to be smart about it. I know I can be stubborn a lot of times with injuries," he said.Jeter is in a 4-for-18 rut since coming off the DL this week. All of those at-bats came with him at the top of the batting order, and he had been set to bat second Friday night. Brett Gardner was moved to the leadoff spot and Girardi said it was meant to spread out the lineup with Rodriguez and Nick Swisher (left quadriceps) out of action.The extra rest certainly helps the older Yankees, not that they wanted a break with their captain on the cusp of a major moment. To them, a split doubleheader was fine."It's fan friendly, it's Derek Jeter friendly, it's team friendly," Cashman said.Countered Longoria: "As far as both teams go, it's not real smart for us to play a doubleheader. It stretches guys out. It doesn't give opportunity for a couple of teams to rest who are banged up and just play one game and then another one."Rays manager Joe Maddon took a similar view."Where we are right now, if I had my druthers about it, we would probably choose later. At this point in the first half guys are run down," he said. "I like the idea you have expanded rosters in September."Game notes
RHP Jeremy Hellickson was set to start Friday night for the Rays, but will be skipped because of the postponement. The rookie has a dog named Jeter -- the pet Yorkie was named for the Yankees star. ... The Yankees released RHP Brian Gordon and worked out a deal to send him to Korean team SK Wyverns for cash. The 32-year-old journeyman was 5-0 and leading the International League with a 1.14 ERA in the Phillies' system when he opted out of his contract last month and joined the Yankees. He was 0-1 in two starts for New York, and attracted attention when he became the first major leaguer to wear a glove made of all-synthetic materials.

Ordering for a Team? Let our Team Division Help!
Item has a Minimum Qty
The full coverage Polyester Conservative Solid Swimsuit is versatile enough for any swim activity and boasts flat-locked seams for unparalleled comfort. This conservative swimsuit makes anybody comfortable enough with themselves to finally take a dip in the pool they've been longing to do. If you want to immerse yourself in water without looking scantily-clad, then this is the suit for you.
I use this suit for lap swimming and it works great. The double layered material holds up well, and I love that it has the shelf bra. This suit does run a bit small, though. Overall, I am very pleased. This is the second one I have ordered.
Runs at least a size small.
I should have payed attention to the reviews. The cups played with my navel. Some of the seams were not put in right, and I had to correct this. I liked the material, and I always buy polyester.Jimbil
Runs slim. Fits but is tight to get on. Also the bra cups are way low...like on my stomach low they are not a shelf bra style so you can't lift it up to where you need it, unfortunately its sewn in to the liner of the suit so you might feel like its awkwardly placed. Overall it works for what I need but it could be better. I just needed a cheap suit to get by and that is what this is. Nothing super special.
I don't need a long torso suit but I tend to get a brand that runs longer. This suit fits well in all respects except too short in the torso. I like everything else about the suit.
The suit itself is great ,love the fabric, But the built in bra is so low that it really does not line up with your chest ,it mainly sits on your lower rib cage,
The swim suit came in good time and the fit is great, I enjoy it three times a week at water exercise and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Swim Outlet. This was not my first experience with them and won't be my last.
Covers what I wanted to cover.
Like the way it feels. Staff at swim outlet are so helpful. I would order again with that kind of service. Thank so much for helping me with my order Brian your the best.
Great timeliness on the mailing of the package, super! As a soldier serving over in Germany I apprecaite that you amil to APOs in such a timely manner. I was disappointed in this suit because it had bra cups that were not listed in the write up. Please not whether the suits have bra cups, I find them uncomfortable for swimming laps. I will keep the suit becasue the price was very good.
Get an alert when we add new styles of Sporti! Simply sign up and we'll notify you.

Okay, here are a couple of photos. First is a prototye that has my bike stem mounted to the motor mount. Fork cut down, quick release for the fork. The stem would stay in place. I opted to move away from this one because of the anchor area and too much going on right there, but it worked fine. Second photo is of the back deck just behind my seat. The knob you see is the tightening mechanism that clamps my wheel mount in place. The not in use position has the wheel mount up along the underside of the back deck. Photo three shows this from beneath my pontoon looking forward and upward. Let me know if this does not make sense. It is made from a bicycle front wheel carrier for a roof rack. I had two. My previous toon was sold with one in place that worked well, thus far this one has not been tested anywhere but my garage and driveway, where it has held the weight of my fully loaded toon very well.
alright, I had time to get a few quick pictures.. pardon the leaves and crap. I haven't worked on this over the winter. The clamp, in place: the wheel assembly:
Ed, I think that would be great for a pontoon set up, but Im trying to figure out something for my pram. Looking at your bike stem, there is no way two bolts would support a loaded pram and still don't like the idea of drilling into the boat. Im gonna need to come up with sumptin'... Herl, man, that sounds way too complicated. I think I have to go back to my drawing board. Would love to see photos when you return. I already have this: http://www.springcreekprams.com/pramdolly.htm good for paved surfaces, but I want something lighter, compact and able to go longer distances over all sorts of terrain. Ultimately, whatever works for you guys, thats kudos to you for coming up with it.
Interesting...have you field tested this yet? Im worried the small surface area of the clamp will slip when hitting a rock or obstacle. Let me know how the project comes out. WOuld love to know how it works.
Paul check out this post that I did last year http://www.washingtonflyfishing.com/board/showthread.php?t=38011 this cart will easily handle 100 lbs (I have not tested for maximum load capacity). The only concern that might occur with a pram, is that it might ride too high off the ground and affect your vision going down a trail (not a problem with my pontoon). :beer2:
Paul, Trust myself and Letemgo the wheel-a-way is going to be your all around best dolly for a pram,has nice size tires,sturdy,easy on-off,light,won't rust,compact.I know it sounds like alot of cash for something so simple but it was way cheaper than the spring creek one and a hell of alot nicer going into those hike in places due to the extra ground clearance. That Pram you got is to nice to put on something that could possibly fail on the way in/out or after a few trips...do yourself a favor and at least go see it,if they don't have one call me if you still got my # or pm me and you can check mine out...good luck,Jeff Try this www.davisnet.com put in : wheel-a-weigh in search. model I got is 1465,but theres other options there also,just remember this tip you want your set-up to be on or just off center or else your in for one hell of a work out..
Super secret: man, that was alot of engineering and work, I take it you just leave it at the launch and pick it up at the end of the day? Im looking for something more compact and not so wide to get it into the trails. Thats why Im thinking the single wheel method, like a wheelbarrow. It may not be as sturdy as the Wheel-A-Weigh. But Im willing to give it a try. If I can find a used shock mountain bike fork, I've been thinking about incorporating something like this and using a bigger diameter wheel. I saw a product at Boater's world, made in Lynnwood actually and patented, it uses a big plastic Flintstone's type wheel with CNC milled aluminum. BUT it requires drilling, so that might be not as attractive. However the female end of the receiver would match my Koffler, so perhaps drilling would be ok as long as its well above the water line and then finding a second bracket to mount on my other boat.
There is no way the top arm of the clamp will slip, but I am also a little bit concerned about the bottom arm, on the bottom of the boat. It seems very solid but we'll have to see how it actually works. I suppose if it does become a problem a single ratcheting strap, pulled tight between the two clamps, under the boat would take care of that. But that is getting a little complicated. It may be different for your boat too. Mine is polyethylene and has a little give, so I can really crank down on the clamp and the boat pushes back.
Fishfinder, that is one slick set up with the folding wheel brackets. Good for you. I've got the same transport issue but haven't decided whether to buy a bunch of beater $50 boats and leave them on the various beaches I fish or invest in a personal hot air balloon to fly them where I want to go. At least with the balloon I know I've got enough hot air to keep it floating permanently. JR
Check out www.wheeleez.com for some really bitchin' fat low-pressure tires. These tires are great for going over loose sand and soft mud, etc. They don't bog down or leave deep ruts. You could make a dolly with these. I bought the "kayak cart" with the 7" wide by 11.8" diameter urethane wheels. They are the best low-pressure (2 to 4 lbs) soft-sand wheels available that I have found anywhere. You can buy direct from their website.
Jim, I think you found the exact product that I was looking for! Thanks, I think I'll end up buying one from them versus trying to build one out. They have some really nice products on their website.
Jim & Paul how are the "Wheel Eez" for puncture resistance? A Russian Olive tree in Eastern WA basin lakes could really put a "thorn" in your Day. Those babys can be 3" long! bawling:
You know I'll be happy to set you up on one of these when you are ready. 10" wheels and gunwale strap holes to eliminate the balancing act.
bigfun4me: I have ???'s 1) how much does that cost? 2) how wide is it from side to side? 3) how long would an order take? 4) how much does it weigh? Awesome looking option that I bet would go nicely for pontoons, prams and many other watercraft. Thanks, Ed.
Mumbles- I have not received mine yet but I have most of the information you asked for. $200 - Custom quotes are available and it's less than the ticket you'll get at that E. WA lake for driving past the gate. Approximately 45" wide email@example.com can have one to you in about a week. He's getting back to me on weight and a freight quote but I estimate about 12-15 pnds. Pm me if you need more pictures.
Thanks BigFun4Me. I'm gonna see how that width would do on my new fishcat panther. The boat is 64" wide when fully inflated, but I don't know the inside width. I'm thinking that could be light enough to strap on the bottom, wheel to the destination, remove and then strap onto the top wheels up to keep them dry and safe from cart predators.
Puncture resistance on those low-pressure urethane tires is pretty good, as they bulge inward a ways when encountering a sharp object, and the urethane is tough. I keep mine on the low end of inflation, around 2 to 2.5 lbs. But I have only checked the air at home, in my garage. I figure they will heat up on the beach, expanding the air inside, and increasing the pressure. Can't say what a 2" or 3" thorn would do to 'em, though. I try to avoid sharp objects, but I have only used my cart once, and it was awesome for the job. (I only use it if I have to transport my U-12 some distance from my truck to the water. Most places I just shoulder it for the short distance). I haul my Ultimate 12 hybrid canoe on it with all my gear stowed near the center to balance it, so I can haul everything in one trip. My cart has a max load capacity of about 121 lbs, according to the raised lettering on the sides of the tires, and my U-12 hull weighs about 48 lbs. So with all the rest of my gear loaded inside, I'm still under the load limit. I just carry it back to my rig and lock it inside while I'm out on the water. I had to add a customized cradle on top of my cart, so it would fit my U-12's tunnel hull snugly enough to remain firmly attached on a bumpy trail. Cinches down solidly now, with no wobbling on the trail. Something like what bigfun4me showed would be better for transporting a wider hull over solid ground with thorns. I got my kayak cart to use in soft sand and squishy soft estuary mud. I have another "canoe cart" with bicycle style wheels that is useless on soft ground, but fine for hard dirt and paved surfaces. I plan to use mine on the beach here, as well as on at least one fairly long, sometimes muddy trail to a soft sandy launch on the Elk River estuary, which is close by and is one of my favorite places to paddle. I got it a little late in the season last year for using it at the places I have in mind for it.

Microsoft's Surface 'Giveaway'
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - On the surface, Microsoft's (MSFT - Get Report) new Windows RT tablet school giveaway plan sounds great. The company is offering a pilot program for school systems to obtain free RT computers if students begin using the new "Bing For Schools" search tool. When you take a closer look, you realize the offer is a little less than you might expect.
Bing for Schools is a brand new search service with dual goals. The first is to provide an ad-free service with special privacy rules and strict content filtering expressly designed for educators, parents and kids. The other goal is to counter rival Google's (GOOG) growing success with getting Chromebooks into schools.
Here's the deal: Microsoft is offering school systems Bing Rewards that can be collected and used to get a free Surface RT tablet, using Windows RT. That's one tablet, singular. It takes 30,000 credits to get that free tablet which translates into 60 users regularly taking advantage of Bing for Schools for one month. A clever bribe.
Officially, Microsoft says Bing for Schools is "designed to improve digital literacy for students".
Windows RT has come under much scrutiny as the operating system has significantly less apps, and doesn't run on full Windows 8 computers. While Windows RT devices aren't ultimately as useful as Windows 8 devices to business users, they are terrific for school children. RT contains art, music and reading software as well as a free version of Microsoft Office. With few retail buyers coming forward, Microsoft made a big push to schools. There is an educational purchasing program already in place offering school systems discount Surface RT prices than for retail customers. Microsoft is telling schools that 800,000 free RT tablets are available in return for switching children to the new Bing for Schools search tool. The pilot program begins in a number of U.S. schools today and is promised to extend to non-pilot schools in other locations in the future. Microsoft suggests those interested join the Bing rewards program and urge local school systems to participate. Microsoft is reportedly working on a new Surface RT tablet which should debut in the next few weeks. It will run an updated version (8.1) of the RT operating system. In our testing of an original Surface RT with the new software we have been very impressed with the improvements. Microsoft shares were higher in Wednesday trading, up 0.77% to $31.86. --Written by Gary Krakow in New York. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com Out Our Best Services for Investors

BROOKVILLE — Punxsy's power proved to be too much for the Brookville All-Star squad to handle Wednesday night in Brookville, as Punxsy defeated Brookville 26-9 after five innings.
Punxsy batted first and came out hot right from the get-go. In the first inning, Madison Stonbraker had an RBI-triple to center field to score the first run of the game.
Jessica Lisa followed with an RBI of her own to bring Stonbraker home. The next five batters — Laney Monroe, Tagen Ludwig, Haley Maines, Abby Gemmell and Abbi Riskus — were all walked to bring in another four runs.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — With a team returning 11 of the 13 members from last year's 10- and 11-year-old District X Little League baseball All-Star Champions, Punxsy wasted no time getting back into the swing of things Tuesday in the opening round of this year's 11- and 12-year-old tournament with a 12-2, four-inning victory over Brockway on home turf.
After the game, Punxsy head coach Brad Gigliotti struggled to come up with anything his team needed to improve on in the one day of practice it has before taking to the road Thursday against St. Marys in the second round of the winners' bracket.
DUBOIS — With a three-day rest and the tournament's king seed on the line, Punxsy and DuBois' 11- and 12-year-old softball All-Stars faced off in the winners' bracket championship game Monday evening in DuBois.
And behind a two-run sixth inning, DuBois earned a come-from-behind win to advance to the District X final Friday.
After the game, Punxsy head coach Mike Ishman attributed the loss to a couple simple concepts: DuBois got the hits when it needed them, and Punxsy made a few too many mistakes and didn't get the hits when it needed them most.
ROSSITER — With a 2 p.m. contest against the Bigler Buccos Saturday, the Rossiter Miners opened their third-annual Breast Cancer Awareness Tournament with a bang — picking up a 9-1 victory behind a complete-game three-hitter by Dylan Kachmar and some lively hitting up and down the lineup.
Kachmar took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, and over the final 5.2 innings, he was nearly unhittable, as he faced the minimum number of opposing hitters before Andy Turner picked up Bigler's third hit one out before the end of the game.
BROOKVILLE— Brookville's big fourth inning was too much for the Punxsy Minors All-Star team to overcome Saturday at Zufall Field.
The Punxsy squad fell 10-5 to Brookville.
Despite the final outcome, Punxsy led during the first three innings.
Brookville batted to open the game. Seth Dunkle stepped up to the plate first.
He hit a shot to lefty pitcher Darren Byers, who threw to first baseman Zack Reitz, but the throw was mishandled, allowing Dunkle to reach second on the first error of the game.
Kyle Macbeth batted next, and flew out to right field for the first out.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Sometimes, it's just not your night. Friday evening, that was the case for Fezell Enterprise's junior Legion team, which fell 17-0 in five innings at the hands of Young Township.
Young Township jumped on Fezell early by batting around and putting up a four-spot in the top of the first on four hits with the help of two errors by the home squad.
BROOKVILLE — After a 9-0 victory over Brockway last Sunday to open the 11- and 12-year-old Little League softball All-Star tournament, Punxsy's squad stayed hot Thursday with an 11-0, four-inning trouncing of Brookville in Brookville.
After the game, Punxsy manager Mike Ishman couldn't say enough about how pleased he was with his team's performance from start to finish.
ROSSITER — The No. 1 team in the Federation Baseball League — the Brookville Grays — fell to the Rossiter Miners in a hard-fought 4-3 game. The Miners improved their record to 7-3 with the victory.
Both squads had solid pitching performances, but Rossiter's was just a little bit better to give them the edge.
Sean Smith pitched all seven innings for the Miners. He threw two strike outs, allowed three runs on 11 hits and walked only two.
"The key to the game was Sean Smith," Rossiter manager Jim Dunlap said. "That's a gutsy kid; that's probably the gutsiest kid."
PUNXSUTAWNEY — I-Medical scored at least once in five of its six trips to the plate Wednesday evening in Punxsutawney, including five in the first two frames, to cruise to a 10-3 victory over Marion Center in Indiana County Youth League action.
The home squad never trailed in the contest and used strong pitching and timely hitting to pick up its 10 runs on just eight hits.
Punxsy starter Dakotah Byers allowed one runner to reach base in the first inning but still managed to retire the side in order with the help of his catcher, Clayton Dale.
A young man with local ties — Jacob Mahan, who resides in Camarillo, Calif. with parents Dan and Jacqui, but is grandson to Bob and Phyllis Mahan and nephew to Joe Mahan (pictured, right with Jacob), all of Punxsutawney — is playing baseball on the NCAA's largest stage, as he and his nationally-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks are currently playing in the College World Series in Omaha, Neb. Arkansas is 2-0 in the tournament thus far, with their most recent victory coming Monday over South Carolina, 2-1.

Inexpensive BlackBerry Leap targets young businessmen
Young professionals on a budget are being targeted by BlackBerry as it expands its inexpensive smartphone portfolio with a 5-inch device called the BlackBerry Leap.
Young professionals on a budget are being targeted by BlackBerry as it expands its inexpensive smartphone portfolio with a 5-inch device called the BlackBerry Leap.
BlackBerry isn't giving up on the smartphone market, and now hopes to make a mark with the Leap, an all-touch LTE device with a keen price tag.
BlackBerry has filed another lawsuit against the makers of the Typo keyboard, claiming that the new version of the iPhone accessory also copies its designs and patents.
BlackBerry has gone back to basics with the release of its Classic smartphone in Australia. Telstra is selling the QWERTY smartphone both online and in stores.
Ford drives into the Valley ... Oracle promises cheaper hardware ... Samsung-Blackberry deal still in play ... and more
BlackBerry CEO John Chen wants net neutrality to extend to content and applications, so that developers of apps for Android and iOS will be mandated to develop on the BlackBerry platform as well.
Intel earnings coming ... Xiaomi's phablet is thinner than iPhone 6 Plus ... Facebook goes for enterprise social network ... and more.
Samsung's reported offer of up to $US7.5 billion for BlackBerry may turn out to be only a rumor, but such a match might make sense for both sides.
Samsung Electronics and BlackBerry have both denied a report that they met to to discuss a proposed US$7.5 billion buyout by the South Korean powerhouse.
Mobile giant Samsung Electronics reportedly approached rival BlackBerry with a buyout proposal worth as much as $US7.5 billion, according to a Reuters news report.
BlackBerry is taking the same approach with its Internet of Things platform, launched Wednesday at International CES, as it is with its handset business: Aim at its core markets.
BlackBerry's revenue continued its dive in the three months to Nov. 29, but on Friday the company reported a smaller loss than a year earlier.
From rattled airline passengers who fear the coming of smartphones to jurors who don't know a smartphone from a tablet, here are some of the colorful quotes from IT news in 2014.
Having to remember multiple passwords may soon be a thing of the past.
BlackBerry is now free to integrate German security vendor Secusmart's voice encryption technology on its smartphones and software, after the German government approved its acquisition of the company.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

How to add your IP address to the firewall ( for ssh access )
For security reasons, SSH access to your server is blocked at the firewall level. Before you can connect to your account via SSH, you will need to add your local IP address to the firewall.
- Find your IP address. Visit the following url:
Note the IP address that is displayed. This is your IP address as seen by the rest of the internet.
- Log into your WHM. (Web Host Manager)
- Click the "Add IP to Firewall" link in the left menu.
Note! This link is one of the last links in the left menu in WHM. You can also type in the search box at the top right "Add IP" and the link will show on the left.
- Enter your IP address in the "Allow Rule:" field and click the "Add Rule / Restart" button.
Note! You cannot view IP addresses in your firewall through the WHM. To view your IP addresses, you will need to look in the following file through shell.
Please Note:
If your IP address does not stay the same each time you connect to the internet, you can add a range of IP address so that you do not need to add your new IP address each time it changes. We are unable to advise you with what your IP range is, however your Internet Service Provider should be able to assist you further. You will need to use CIDR formatting when adding a range of IP addresses. Please see the "Information on CIDR Formats" and "IP to CIDR Converter" links in the "Add IP to Firewall" page in WHM for further assistance.

While following this guide, we wanted to know how to remove IPs that had already been added using the process above. The WHM documentation refers to a plugin, "ConfigServer & Firewall", which was not installed by default in our managed VPS's WHM. According to IMH tech support, you can opt to install this WHM plugin yourself, or request that they do so (fees may apply). While looking into SSH options, we checked to see if we could edit entries in the "/etc/ips" file, as is described in: http://linuxadministrator.pro/blog/?p=400 But that file was empty. We also didn't have access to the iptables command in our shell. So... how could we manage these added entries via SSH? Tech support pointed us towards the "/etc/apf" file which contains a list of the IPs added via WHM's "Add IP Address to Firewall". The ones we had added via WHM appeared at the end of the file, and we edited it accordingly.Be mindful that there other IP entries in there which should be left as is (eg: the InMotion Hosting section). |

Hello OG Solutions,
The Add IP to Firewall solution should still be there, but will only be available if you're logged in as a root admin. If you're logged correctly and you still don't see it, please submit a support ticket or contact live technical support for immediate assistance. If there is an issue with that feature, then it may require that senior systems personnel be involved in its resolution. If you wish for the issue to be investigated through the support center, we would need more information regarding your account. Kindest regards, Arnel C. |

Hello Asok,
Thanks for the question and sorry for the problems with editing rule. The firewall rules can only be edited if you have root access to the server.

'Where's innovation?' Construction looks for an ear in Abbott's cabinet to push the case for BIM
PUBLISHED: 18 Sep 2013 09:57:53 | UPDATED: 18 Sep 2013 14:57:48PRINT EDITION: 18 Sep 2013It's estimated the use of building information modelling may save firms between 3 per cent and 5 per cent in costs. Photo: Louie Douvis
Michael Bleby
Second time aroundAfter getting a cold shoulder from the last government, the construction and engineering industries are keen to lobby the incoming administration for a shake-up of procurement processes. It just needs to know who to lobby.
"The government's so fresh we're not clear exactly where the portfolios overlap with construction, industry and innovation," says John Mitchell, the president of the industry's organisation, buildingSMART Australasia. "There's no word 'innovation' in the title. There's a department of industry. What happened to all the other things – are they important or not?"
One part is easy to answer. A spokeswoman for industry minister-elect Ian Macfarlane says innovation falls under his portfolio. Liberal leader and Prime Minister-elect Tony Abbott has said there will be more clarity after his ministry is sworn in on Wednesday. But the bigger issues will take more time to resolve.
There's no word 'innovation' in the title. There's a department of industry. What happened to all the other things?
Mitchell is pushing the government to mandate building information modelling – or BIM – as a requirement on all public procurement projects. The software that permits different actors in the construction chain – from architects to engineers, building contractors and even asset owners – to work collaboratively and more productively has been embraced by the UK conservative government, which has set a target of 2016 for all its departments and agencies to use BIM.
The industry is keen. The use of BIM in construction has the potential to save firms between 3 per cent and 5 per cent in costs, says Warwick Stannus, the group engineering manager for large building contractor AG Coombs.
Second time around
In the previous Labor government, promoting efficiencies in the wider construction chain fell to Kate Lundy, as minister assisting for industry and innovation. She disappointed in February, saying there wasn't money available to fund a roadmap program designed to set standards. The former government also gave no sign of interest in mandating BIM for government procurement.
The industry is hoping for a better run this time around.
"There were some great initiatives put forward to the previous government, however, there was an extreme lack of commitment or even interest in those productivity gains from BIM, whereas I think there are high hopes considering the Liberals' track record of being more in tune with business needs," says Suibhne Cullen, a project information manager for design firm AECOM and a co-founder of Collaborate, an industry body working to come up with uniform BIM standards.
A 2010 report says BIM could have a huge effect not just in design and construction, but on the economy. The report says widespread adoption of BIM could boost gross domestic product by 0.2 basis points above the "business as usual scenario", rising to 5 points by 2025.

Hope you enjoy your visit. If you want to have a thrill let me know a bit ahead of time and I'll take you Kayaking down the Mackenzie River. It's an easy float with nice big waves, (very cold and clean water) Nothing more than class three at the end of the popular run. (Martin Rapids) I've got about everything for a group of six or less. (Individual kayaks for adults. I have two IIK but they are big and I only like to paddle them with kids as passengers ) Looooeee, Rick, Eljimbo are you interested in a run? You;re local and probably will be coming to Boomers funfly. Open offer to any visiting Oregon this summer on my days off here. Just let me know at least a month ahead to get it organized. July is not a good time for me but I think the rest of the summer is good. It's big and cold water so ya gotta know how to swim and react to whitewater. (easier than tipping over your bicycle) |

The statement is excellent and worthy of repetition.
"Stupid" is not a good summary of the thought process that went into starting the Iraq fiasco. "Ignorant of history" and "arrogant" and "reckless" are a bit closer to the mark. Wars are rarely started because one side is simply stupid. A wise leader knows that all wars have unintended consequences that are often adverse. When the stakes are high you avoid risk if at all possible. Stakes are very high in war. GWB forgot or ignored this equation. |

That war was happening with or without the US joining in, and the consequences of us not joining that war would have been disastrous. (Sprechen ze deutch?) War had already been declared on the US by BinLaden years before 911, and I guess Clinton's "brilliance" dictated that he simply ignore it... which he did, and left the mess for Bush. What's stupid is denying that evil exists and thinking that goodness and brilliance alone will keep you out of a war. Yes, I believe that. HF |

If we take both presidential responses as the opposite extremes, then somewhere towards the middle would probably have been the "better" response. Of course we'll never really know. |

Since war seems to be inevitable as HF pointed out, a better quote would be "A brilliant man will figure out how to win the war as quickly as possible with as little repercussions as possible."
Since we've been in Iraq as long as it took the US to gear up and win the entire WWII, we obviously DON'T have a brilliant man running the war. Acknowledging that, we must concede defeat to the fact that Iraq isn't going to become a democratic beacon for the middle east and just get the heck out. |

Bin Laden was and always has been a law enforcement matter...Afghanistan's support of him...despite their extreme weakness...WAS a matter for military action....but we've lost that one now too...and instead of a small group of religious fanatics supported by a bankrupt theocracy we now have a reborn and rejuvenated al Qaeda which is supported to one degree or another by most of the middle east.... But regardles of the tortured path you have taken to get there, you did, somehow, come to the correct conclusion. The sooner we get out of Iraq, the less we lose. |

without beating a dead horse, I think what Yamamoto meant was that a brilliant man will find a way to get what he wants without STARTING a war. If I remember right, the Japanese navy was not in favor of Pearl Harbor. The Army under Hidekei Tojo was.
Was it Otto Von Bismarck who said that "Diplomacy is war by other means"? howell |

HF I think the core of the concept is that the aggressor has a supernormal moral and political responsibility to shoulder in starting a war. It is worthy of a person's best efforts to avoid war and the ultimate test of a leader is, did they do everything they could to avoid war.
Roosevelt was not the aggressor. Despite his brialliance there was no way for him to avoid war. GWB was the aggressor. Not only did he not devote adequate energy and intellect to avoiding war, he sought it out. History might forgive him if he had won. As the loser he will bear a curse on his presidency foreever. This guy's accomplishments are starting and losing a war, running up gigantic deficits and no lasting meaninfgul other achivements. Fully, fairly and completely summed up in the epitah: Worst President Ever. |

Body fell off stretcher as it was moved to morgue
Ward no: 9 in the General Hospital (GH), where destitute patients are housed, again became the centre of public attention on Saturday following an unfortunate incident which occurred in the early hours of the day. According to Health officials, one of the elderly and destitute patients in ward 9 died in the early hours on Saturday.
The body was being transferred in a stretcher by two women employees of the hospital to the mortuary, which is some distance away from the ward, when the stretcher wheel hit some obstacle and the body fell off the stretcher. All hell broke loose afterwards, according to the Health officials, as some people who were witness to the incident inside the hospital campus recorded this and alerted the visual media.
The district health administration officials said that though the incident was not deliberate, action had to be taken against the two hospital employees, who were pushing the trolley, for alleged disrespect shown to the deceased person.
Two suspended
A daily wages employee and a nursing assistant in the hospital were suspended by the District Medical Officer pending enquiry.
A number of MLAs and representatives of various political parties crowded the GH for long protesting against the pathetic condition of those destitute persons housed in ward 9, which, at present, has 80 patients.
Hospital authorities said that the ward was overcrowded but that the authorities were helpless as the hospital could not turn away any new admissions to the ward nor could they discharge any one as they would have to be turned out onto the streets.

News 12 @ 11 o'clock / Saturday, July 26, 2014
AUGUSTA, Ga (WRDW) -- This week, Savannah Riverkeeper Tonya Bonitatibus took to Facebook to try and get more people out, and into the water.
"We're here to issue you a challenge...to go out to your local lake, river, stream- jump in," Bonitatibus said on a video posted on the Savannah Riverkeeper Facebook page.
Bonitatibus' challenge is a part of a national campaign to get people swimming on local waterways.
But after a report in June named the Savannah River as the third most toxic river in the country, some people have been skeptical of taking a dip.
Steve Arnold is the Chief of the Richmond County Diving team, and he says people shouldn't be afraid of the water.
"You don't see homeowners throwing trash off their docks. You don't see people throwing debris off of bridges or anything. This is actually a very clean, very clear body of water," Arnold said.
Chris Powell likes to go boating and swimming in the river, and he says as long as you stay in the right areas, the water's clear.
"A lot of pollution has gone downstream. Right now we're on the upperside of the river, so it's better up here at the top," Powell said.
The June study said 80 percent of the pollution comes from DSM Chemicals near the I-520 bridge.

Mortgage mess: Who gets help and who pays?
Debate over what's fair and what's wise is likely to intensify as US tries to contain the crisis.
The federal government is increasingly focused on how to resolve the US mortgage mess, but the effort means grappling with controversial issues of who should receive help and who will pay for it.
Few taxpayers like to hear talk about "bailouts," especially as many tighten their own belts to deal with rising energy and food prices and falling values for their homes or stock investments.
Questions of fairness are sure to figure in the policy debate – and are already surfacing on the presidential campaign trail, on talk radio, and in congressional committee rooms. The people who might get bailed out, after all, include the same reckless lenders and often-speculative borrowers who helped cause the mess.
Should mortgage companies be forced to knuckle under so borrowers can keep their homes and avoid foreclosure? Should taxpayer money be used to help troubled banks?
To a large number of Americans, such interventions in the marketplace are wrongheaded. Still, signs of economic weakness in the past month have made a hands-off approach less likely, analysts say.
"[One] choice is to be very puritanical and say that those who have sinned must suffer. The problem is that so many have sinned that all of us must suffer," says Ed Yardeni, an economist who heads an investment research firm in Great Neck, N.Y. "The mortgage market is really way too big to [let it] fail."
As he sees it, the whole economy is beginning to suffer through a recession, caused in large measure by the decline in home values and credit availability. Policy efforts may cost taxpayers some money but could also prevent a deeper slump.
"We like to believe that we're a free-market capitalist society where everybody is responsible for their own business and financial activities," Mr. Yardeni says. "But when things start to go wrong, we ... turn to the federal government."

Shakers expect to struggle
09 May 2007 - 07:34:29
Bury captain Dave Challinor has admitted the Shakers are likely to struggle again next season unless the club receives some much-needed investment.
The Gigg Lane club successfully staved off the threat of relegation despite a downturn in results towards the end of the campaign, but Challinor is predicting another season of toil at the wrong end of the League Two table next term.
He told the club's official website: "Like most, this place needs investment to be successful and unfortunately that's the way things are and the way things go.
"If you want to compete in this division, then clubs are spending big money.
"Unfortunately with the crowd averages and financial things we are not able to compete with them.
"The gaffer's got a tough job to do and he's got to work some magic with a small budget.
"We've got the nucleus of a good squad, but you look at the teams that have got the clout financially and their squads have more depth."

Setting up for easy single handed reefing
I have a quick question. Currently my boat has little in the way of making my life as a mostly single handler easy. That said I'm looking into options to help me raise/lower/reef the main, but am unsure about which method is the best. Basically from what I see I have 2 options.
1) Install lazy jacks, and lead lines aft to the cockpit. Use two line reefing also led back to the cockpit.
- Don't have to go on deck to raise / lower / reef main (good cause it keeps me close to the wheel, and I don't have an autopilot)
- Relatively simple setup. (by simple I mean there's no complicated mechanical "things" to get broken that can't easily be replaced.)
- Would have to be creative to fit all the hardware beside the companionway. I don't have a lot of space there.
- Haven't really looked into prices, but risks being a bit pricey (clutches, turning blocks, etc). Currently there's not really anything related to reefing installed on the boat, and no lines are led aft.
Also a quick question or two about this, to lower the main, do you need another line to "pull" it down? While my main doesn't catch on anything, I usually have to help it down a bit when lowering at the mast. Also for the reefing lines, my main has two reefing points. Do people normally rig both sets? or just the first one and then do something else for the second?
2) My other option is boom roller reefing. (I believe that's what it's called anyways) The wooden boom on my boat is capable of rotating, rolling up the sail around it's outside.
- would allow for pretty fast (and variable) reefing.
- Everything I need is more or less already there (though I am missing the winch handle for it, I can more or less easily obtain one)
- It's a bit complicated. If something broke on it I wouldn't be able to fix it myself.
- Related to the previous point, it's really old. I seriously doubt I could find OEM replacement parts. Might get expensive having parts machined, if it can be done at all.
- No way to lead the control for the boom rotation to the cockpit, so need to go on deck.
I'm sure you guys can think of other pro's and cons. I'm just looking to see if anyone has experience with one or the other (or even better, both) and can swing me one way or the other. This is the next priority on my boat, as right now it's a big chore to raise/lower the main by myself.
Thanks all!

quote:the slaps are: Slap no.1 Slap bet(birth of the 5 slaps): for no particular reason Slap no.2 Stuff: because of Barney's ridiculous one man show(revenge on Lily) Slap no.3 Slapsgiving: Marshall creates a holiday: Slapsgiving (version of thanksgiving where instead of thanks they give slaps) where the slap target was Barney(obviously) Slap no.4 Slapsgiving 2: Revenge of the Slap: Marshall forgot the Thanksgiving Turkey in a cab, which Robin and Ted picked up at Port Authority and so, Marshall rewarded them the 4th slap but they have to decide who is going to slap Barney between both of them. Robin gifts Ted the slap, then Ted gifts Robin the slap, Robin gifts Mickey(Lily's dad) the slap,Mickey gifts the slap to Lily. Lily can't slap Barney.A nerve-wracked Barney is released from the chair(yes he was tied to A CHAIR!), but before he can sit down to dinner, Marshall slaps him. Slap no.5 Disaster Averted: Barney was wearing the ducky tie so,he wanted to remove it because he was meeting Nora's parents that's why Marshal was allotted 3 more slaps (making a total of 4 slaps left for him to use on barney as he still had 1 slap left from the slap bet and adding the 3)and one of which he used on that moment. Slap no.6 Disaster Averted: The sixth slap was used a second after the fifth slap. Slap no.7 Slap no.8

quote:If the filler episodes are funny, then enjoy it. I feel like people just want to skip the journey go straight to the last page. What made this show great was the comedy and tomfoolery in the episodes. In seasons 1-5, it's almost as if meeting the mother was irrelevant because you knew it wouldn't happen until the end.

text: I am sure you all are smart enough to do your research, but be aware that just because a state listed on that map is OC doesn't mean you shouldn't check the laws around OC. In Alabama (my state) you can OC with no permit, but the second you enter a vehicle with a loaded firearm you must have a CC license whether the pistol is openly carried in said vehicle or not. Stupid, maybe, but law nonetheless. I am sure other states probably have little nuances like that as well.

Original story and thread from back in April:
Bad: Taco Bell shooting victim holding leash when shot
Guy is in the drive-through at a Taco Bell in Phoenix with his pregnant girlfriend. A guy walking his dog stepped in front of the first guy's vehicle, causing him to slam on the brakes. From there it degenerates into he said-she said; lots of yelling, guy in car said he saw a bat or similar weapon, said he feared for his life, drew his weapon and shot the dog walker, killing him. No weapon was found, and the dead man was somewhat mentally impaired, with the mental capacity of a 12 year-old.
Now the shooter has been charged with 2nd degree murder:
