We all know wrestling is fake. It's just one of those things. You hit a certain age and there's a 90% chance that it will dawn on you and you'll never watch it again. I used to religiously watch it. It's one thing I was obsessed with the most in my life before I started to take an interest in football and boxing.
I'm sure that's a similar path for most people. And my memories of watching Wrestlemania X7 will never fade. Steve Austin vs The Rock, Triple H vs Taker, Kurt Angle vs Chris Benoit. It was one of the greatest wrestling events of all time.
I only recently re-watched it and it was still as incredible as it was 14 years ago. But when you finally look past the drama and epic match ups, it's all just live-action improv in front of thousands of fans. Which in itself is pretty damn impressive. But the following video highlights things you probably never noticed before, and it's pretty hilarious.
Please enjoy this video and be sure to SHARE it with your friends.

Moves to tighten planning rules on opencast coal mining
The Government has issued "tough" proposals to tighten up planning guidance for opencast coal mining in England 1 - though they fall short of Labour's pre-election promise of a presumption against new mines. The Scottish Office also intends to introduce a stricter planning regime in response to fears of a rapid expansion of opencast production in Central Scotland.

Is Japan the most innovative country in the world?
When you think of the most advanced countries within the technology or IT industries, among the first to come to mind is Japan. A country where robots guide and serve people in hotels, and high-tech toilets are deployed in public places. Because of this, my expectations were extremely high when I planned several visits to premium brand automotive dealers in Japan.

For more information, contact USNH Purchasing and Contract Services.
- Computer Purchasing: USNH has an institution-wide stated preference to purchase EPEAT Silver or higher computers and monitors. In addition, the UNH Computer Store has contracts with Dell and Apple for resale of computers. All computers stocked by the UNH Computer Store are EPEAT silver (all Dells) or gold (all Apple) certified. In Spring 2010, the UNH Energy Task Force followed up on recommended policies set forth by WildCAP (UNH's Climate Action Plan) describing UNH's commitment to the EPEAT Purchasing Requirements in accordance with the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment (ACUPCC). This policy has been in place since 2006 as "strongly recommended" but became policy July 1, 2010.
- Cleaning Products Purchasing: UNH Facilities Housekeeping is responsible for cleaning 75 out of approximately 112 buildings on campus. The remaining 37 buildings are serviced by UNICCO. Both have made a commitment to move toward less toxic cleaning solutions to ensure a healthy learning and working environment for students, faculty, staff, and building service workers. UNH Facilities Housekeeping and UNICCO have pledged that any new products being considered must be green or have green properties. Also, green cleaning training happens at various times of the year when a new product is introduced by an outside vendor, or when new information needs to be disseminated to keep everyone updated. Training may include reminders to conserve energy and water whenever possible (e.g., use less water when mopping a small area and turn off lights whenever possible). The Facilities Housekeeping managers estimate that "through the use of greener products, more effective cleaners and precise dispenser systems UNH Housekeeping has decreased the amount of cleaning product used by approximately 50% in the past 15 years." UNH Facilities Housekeeping and UNICCO have worked very hard to promote green cleaning on the UNH campus and to remove chemical cleansers and wasteful practices that have negative impacts on human health and the environment. For a full list of products use, visit the UNH Green Cleaning web page.

The Eighteen Original Colors of Princess Phones
One of Western Electric's greatest marketing successes was the "Princess" phone. In the 1950's, many American families were just beginning to install more than one telephone in their homes. The "Princess" phone was a reaction to this trend. Introduced in 1959, it was advertised as "lovely" and "graceful" to directly appeal to women and teenage girls. It was the first phone designed specifically to appeal to this niche market.
One of the contributing factors to this success was 'colors'. It was felt by the princess's designers that a second phone would most likely be placed in a bedroom rather than hallway or entryway as was the most common phone locations of that era. Matching a room's color decor is a lot more important to a bedroom's decor than it is to a hallway, and basic black just would not do. So the rotary dial princess was introduced in five colors - white, rose pink, light beige, aqua blue, and turquoise. By 1963 four more colors where added - black, moss green, pastel yellow, and light gray. Ivory and cherry red were added in 1967, and gold became the final color option in 1971. Touch-tone princess's also had a clear color. In 1984 AT&T reintroduced the 'Signature Princess' with the addition of - teal blue, slate blue, light blue, cameo green, and peach.
Today, as old phone collecting becomes more and more popular, many collectors are specializing in accumulating all the colors of Princess phones. There may only be eighteen of them but some can be quite daunting to find. For some of the rarer colors like, like cherry red, competition can be active when they appear at on line auctions.
Here are photos of some of the colors. Good luck locating all of them.
One final note on collecting Princess phones by colors. There are a host of companies and sellers that are offering "retro" Princess phones. Some even match the original colors, others are making their own colors. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH PURCHASING A "NEW" RETRO PRINCESS - AS LONG AS YOU KNOW THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE GETTING! AND PAY ACCORDINGLY! Don't pay vintage phone prices for a new phone. Learn the difference.
According to experts, old phone prices are expected to increase.
Perhaps you should Invest in some yourself, -- you'll be glad you did!

Kurtley Beale late try snatches win for Wallabies over Wales
These highlights don't seem to be very balanced as the Wallabies had a few line breaks throughout the game that showed as much promise as Wales, but they didn't seem to merit making the highlight reel. To me a draw would have felt like a fair result to the game, as both teams were equally average for most of it. However the Wallabies looked pretty good in the last ~3 minutes when they had their backs to the wall and started playing a more expansive running game, and they were rewarded for having a go with the try to win it. Once again they did just enough to get over the finish line, and that looks promising to build from next year.
By the way Jonathan Davies has to be one of the worst commentators out there, if he's going to be so biased towards Wales then I wish he wouldn't pretend to be objective.

Rob Simmons escapes on-field punshment for dangerous tackle on Yannick Nyanga
I didn't ever hear the ref ask Moore (the acting captain) for the number of the offending player, or address the Aussie team for the offending player to step forward - he only seems to ask the assistant refs and act on the information (or lack thereof) he receives from them. I've had that happen before, where the ref has asked the captain to bring the player forward.
I'm also not sure the tackle warrants the vilification Simmons is getting from a lot of the posts. It's clumsy yes, but the player lands squarely on his back (not his head) and Simmons goes to ground with him (vs. dumping/dropping him). Re. the "lateness" of it, he also had no idea the ball was long gone. I've seen a lot worse get a lot less than what the hordes are screaming for here.

All Black Adam Thomson's boot on Alasdair Strokosch's head
I stand corrected, thanks. However I still thought refs had guidelines, i.e. offence x = penalty y?

All Black Adam Thomson's boot on Alasdair Strokosch's head
Mistake? It was only a mistake if he mistook the guy's scrum cap for the ball. Thomson knew exactly where he was putting his boot. And it doesn't make a difference if the guy was all over the ball, you just can't ruck like you did in the good ol' days.

All Black Adam Thomson's boot on Alasdair Strokosch's head
I might have to reach for the rule book, but I thought rucking to the head (intentional or not) was an automatic red card? At least it used to be - I got done for that one myself once.

Elvis Vermeulen yellow carded for huge hit on Zee Ngwenya
Can't see anything wrong with that - don't think he was taken in the air, by my reckoning (admittedly, the video's a little grainy...) his foot had just touched the ground when the hit came in. Game on!

Life insurance truth #9
Life insurance is sold by advisers, banks and life insurance companies directly. Policies sold usually receive a commission which can be up to twice the annual premium of the policy. This commission payment can be clawed-back if the policy is cancelled within two years.
After the two year period, you may be encouraged to switch to another life insurance provider – in which case the seller will again receive a commission payment.
While this is not common, it can happen. Make sure you consider your own cover requirements and your policy's history before agreeing to switch to a different life insurance provider.

Increasingly, we hear claims that buildings are "green" or sustainable, with carbon neutral impacts and the like.
In the recent past, these terms were optional add-ons for an interested few, but now it seems to be essential for many companies to be seen as green, eco, or sustainable.
However, what do companies mean when they claim to be sustainable, or their buildings are net zero, or their activities attached to a carbon offset? It can be confusing, as these terms are fluid, or appear to be coined on the run, without a unified definition. And it gets even more confusing when we have a variety of certification and rating systems which apply sustainability "stars" to our buildings.
Let's look at the terms "net zero" and "carbon offset," starting with some popular definitions courtesy of Wikipedia, the font of all dictionary-type knowledge.
A net zero energy building is defined by Wikipedia as "a building with zero net energy consumption, meaning the total amount of energy used by the building on an annual basis is roughly equal to the amount of renewable energy created on the site…these buildings do at times consume non-renewable energy and produce greenhouse gases…
"Most zero net energy buildings get half or more of their energy from the grid."
In other words, your building consumes x amount of energy, and your site creates x amount of energy, so you claim your total is zero.
Note the difference between building and site. It is not the case that the building makes up for its wastefulness in energy consumption, which is why some have made the point that net zero isn't the sort of goal we should be aiming for.
That's because you could set up a nuclear power plant in your back yard, tell people it is part of your "building" or that it will "make up for" the energy used by the building, build a really leaky, poorly insulated, badly designed, cheap, drafty, mouldy building, which consumes a lot of energy to condition the inside, and spews the energy out the walls into the atmosphere; and call the whole thing net zero.
It may in fact be net zero, but it would be very bad for the environment, for your carbon footprint, and for climate change (not to mention unhealthy and uncomfortable.)
This kind of confusion has led to another term: "greenwashing." This is defined by Wikipedia as "a form of spin in which green PR or green marketing is deceptively used to promote the perception that an organisation's products, aims or policies are environmentally friendly."
A well written publication on this topic, The Carbon Neutral Myth – Offset Indulgences for your Climate Sins, published by The Carbon Trade Watch in the Netherlands back in 2007, makes the point nicely:
"Most offset schemes take the following approach. A simple calculator on a web-site shows the quantity of emissions produced by a certain product or activity. The customer can then choose from a variety of projects that promise to 'neutralise' an equivalent amount of emissions by energy-saving, or through carbon absorption in trees. The consumer pays according to the claimed project costs and the amount of emissions to be 'neutralised.'
"The sale of offset indulgences is a dead-end detour off the path of action required in the face of climate change. There is an urgent need to return to political organising for a wider, societal transition to a low carbon economy, while simultaneously taking direct responsibility for reducing our personal emissions. "
And, to take carbon offsets offered by our airlines when we fly as an example, the writers say "the idea of achieving climate neutrality through offsetting is no more than media spin. First, it takes 100 years to fully cancel out the carbon effect of one aeroplane flight."
I used to think that by paying a few dollars to the airline as a "carbon offset", I could fly with a clear conscience knowing that I had not contributed to climate change. Looks like I was duped.
Similarly, The Carbon Neutral Myth debunks the notion that planting a few trees will sufficiently "offset" the effect of the energy consumption of a new building.
It's complex, but one of the problems is how long the trees need to grow, before they start making a real impact. In the meantime, the inefficient building has pumped out the proverbial in carbon – for quite a few years. It's not a decent "offset" if it takes years to kick in. We don't have the luxury of years.
But it sounds so simple, so mathematical, so certain - "net zero" and carbon "offset." Can't I absolve my building sins by planting a few trees or adding a few solar panels?
The thing about "net zero" type claims is the risk that we believe them because they are presented as mathematical calculations. It's easier for us to believe them than analyse them.
Solar panels on my roof isn't going to make my building carbon neutral, or net zero, or carbon positive. It's not going to make my heating system and leaky building "green." Even if it reduces my bills, it doesn't mean my building is efficient. Nor does planting a few trees.
This is why we need to face the energy consumption of our buildings squarely, before we consider the add-ons. We need to address the kinds of things that are identified for the Passive House Standard - draft free, not leaky, with clean incoming air, heated up by re-using the heat from the stale air which is being extracted. No condensation or mouldy conditions. A building that reduces energy consumption for its life because it traps energy naturally produced inside.
We don't need to consider a false calculation called an "offset" or a pretend mathematical equation that tells me we've paid for our sins and achieved a "positive" status, or even a neutral one, in order to design a building that uses less energy.
Everybody should consider proper "near zero" energy building design through design tools like the Passive House Standard.
Considering the use of more sustainable materials, like timber from plantation trees, is important, where possible, as is the installation of solar panels and other forms of renewable energy instead of coal, where possible. But it's important to analyse claims and see what is meant by the person making them.
It's important not to disguise the different issues we need to face right now, such as efficient, robust, future proofing building design which consumes less energy.
No faulty maths. No greenwash.
Sorry but this article is "Passiv-washing" – a Passivhaus does nothing for running TVs, fridges, computers etc so this comparison is comparing oranges with apples. Passivhauses will generally draw more from the grid than a Net Zero Energy or Net Zero Emissions home, as in Passivhaus there is no requirement for any renewables (except the recently extended Passivhaus+). Given that heating/cooling is close to 20% of total electricity demand in a new six-star home, reducing that to almost nothing like a Passivhaus does while still leaving the rest of the 80% untouched is generally not cost-effective & obviously will never achieve zero emissions!
Hey Rob
Passivhaus does take into account total energy demand. Just check out passipedia.
As for renewables, have another read of the article above!
Fiona, you haven't shown how a Passivhaus provides any greater greenhouse emissions benefits than just reducing the 20% heating/cooling demand we see on 6-star homes to close to 0% (while adding in things like ventilation electricity demand from a HRV). Renewable energy systems are certainly required for the rest of electricity demand.
The Passivhaus 120kWh/m2.yr primary energy demand is not even close to net zero emissions. The fact that PHI have added in the Passivhaus Plus categories that require renewable energy argues exactly my point.
Your article says "Solar panels on my roof isn't going to make my building carbon neutral, or net zero, or carbon positive." While you can argue about the embodied energy of PV systems with their 4-5 year+ embodied energy payback (something that Passivhauses also have significantly more of than standard homes due to extra foam insulation, steel, glass, timber, HRV systems etc – in fact our calculations show that this embodied energy payback for PHs can sometimes be on the order of 20 years+ because you are chasing diminishing returns) in the end, to run appliances, lighting, etc renewable energy systems are essential – and the end goal for integration of these systems is zero or positive emissions, with net zero emissions being a good starting point.
Certainly it is our opinion that Net Zero Emissions for a house is a much more appropriate environmental goal than Passivhaus, which while having energy efficiency attributes, in some respects is more properly judged an indoor environment quality (thermal comfort & air quality) system.
Hi Rob
I'm not sure who you represent or what research you have done.
You say the passivhaus energy standard is "not even close to net zero emissions". My article is criticising the net zero equation. Not claiming that passivhaus is close to net zero. You can say it's near zero but the concept of "net" is a concept I am criticising, not aiming for.
The passivhaus new categories ADD renewables and the like TO the passivhaus standard. They don't compromise it. They don't support your view, to the extent that your view is clear.
My point about solar panels is that you can add them to a house, to a backyard, to a neighbour's house, or a field down the road. They are nothing to do with the house. They are nothing to do with the energy efficiency of the house. Have a look at Lloyd Alter and Elrond Burrell on this aspect. As well as the Passivhaus Institute itself of course!
When you say "Certainly it is our opinion" I don't know who is certain or who "we" are. Your comments are a little confusing and I suppose are an example of the kind of thinking my article addresses.
Thank you for your article, Fiona. However, I feel that in labelling net zero energy buildings as "greenwashing", you go too far. Where I live, in subarctic Edmonton, Alberta, you have to build a darn efficient building to attain net zero status. Net zero buildings here use mostly solar PV, and some ground- and air-source heat pumps as an energy source. Due to the cold climate, you have to build a super-insulated air-tight home with HRV to have any chance of being net zero (and no-one has a mini nuclear station in their backyard … 🙂 Carbon offsets are never as good as not creating GHG emissions in the first place. But if they come from a reliable, CDM certified source, they are perhaps the next best thing where emissions are harder to avoid, e.g. flights for car travel. Where I do have to agree with you is that net zero doe not include any (high) performance standards, or look at WHEN the energy created (e.g. in Alberta a home uses most energy in winter, but produces most energy in summer). I DO like the PassivHaus performance standard, and if you do decide to add PV later, you know you have gone as far as feasible to build on a solid, high-performance platform. So, I agree with your praise of PassivHaus and high performance standards, but think that calling net zero buildings "greenwashing" probably goes too far.
Thank you Godo. Very interesting comments! I wasn't saying that all net zero energy building claims are greenwashing, just that this kind of phrase can mask the fact that a poorly designed, inefficient building is sitting there under a green roof and solar panels. In Australia there are very few buildings as good as what you describe in Edmonton. So net zero type claims can be bandied about when the building is not very efficient. I fully agree with you that "Carbon offsets are never as good as not creating GHG emissions in the first place". In Victoria, Australia, we have to face the fact that we are using dirty coal for much of our power (or diesel, in Tasmania, see my last sourceable article!) so of course the power source is relevant to all these assessments. Passivhaus is barely beginning to be understood in this country, and it will be great to see more recognition of it.

(and yes, I've searched the forums, and I haven't found any satisfactory answer to my question) Here it is: is there a way to root to 2.1 (I am using a motorola droid with unrooted 2.1), WITHOUT having to use crossover/vmware, etc. to access windows files? It seems crazy to me that nobody would have figured out how to do this yet, but I simply can't find any method online for doing so (and I've spent literally hours researching it and meticulously reading tutorials). The only reason I want to root my droid is so I can use wi-fi hotspot (I was going to wait for the 2.2 update but I heard they will no longer be including wi-fi tethering). The fact that there seems to be no way to do this without hours of downloading and complicated technical tinkering is honestly making me consider ditching android altogether. Somebody give me another option, as I really like my droid!

Patrick M.wrote a review of Yakima King Joe 3 Bike Rack on June 2, 2010
Pay attention to every setup!
The rack secures itself very well to my 2006 Civic, however, the adjustable shoes for the bike frame slide when driving. My bike, which was firmly mounted before a 350 mile trip slid about 5 inches on one side backwards, tipping the front wheel into my muffler and melting a brand new $55 tire & tube. I intend to fix the rack with a pipe clamp, but will never again trust the front wheel on the inside most bike.
Conditions will be different for different cars-I got the rack because it seemed to have the softest pads on the car side (a Saris model made a mess of my trunk lid). The 4 straps on this model are easier than 6 individual straps (both for 6 hooks) and it installs in about 2 minutes. I am not a huge fan of the locking mechanism as it is the only cheap feeling part of the rack-it is sometimes hard to align the lock in place.
I purchased it at $124, it was worth it at that price.

Mangala: My brother is my inspiration
What the MEDIA says finished
Another day, another collection of headlines.
As usual on a Saturday morning, the vast majority centre on Manuel Pellegrini's press conference held at the CFA yesterday afternoon.
Again as usual, rather than picking over the headlines second hand, you can simply follow the link and watch it for yourself in full.
So, anything else out there? Not that much to be honest, but there are a few snippets worth your attention this morning.
There's always transfer gossip but before we get there, there is a wonderful interview with Eliaquim Mangala in the Guardian, where he talks candidly about being inspired by his brother – who was sadly paralysed as a child.
The defender told Daniel Taylor: "He plays a huge role in my life. I always wanted to become a footballer but I did this for my brother as well. H
"We could have been a player himself but for this accident and he is still a source of inspiration for me, mental inspiration. He gives me strength, psychologically, and when I am out there on the field I feel like I am doing it for him."
Powerful stuff.
He also talks about his transition from a striker to centre back, via the Fellaini role – literally in his case…
Adds Mangala: "I didn't fill out until I was 21 but I was fast and good in the air and I started as a striker. Technically I wasn't as good as some of the other players but because of my height if you put the ball in the air I scored a lot of goals."
"It was obvious I wasn't going to be good enough technically to play in attack so I knew I had to move to a position that would suit my size and strength. From 16 I started to play as a holding midfielder. Marouane Fellaini had just left and that left a hole for me, a reserve in the under-17s.
"It was only when I was 18, my second year as a pro, that I actually started playing as a central defender."
The full interview is definitely worth your time – promise. It's here.
Slightly less powerful but a bit more plentiful is today's round-up of gossip and rumour, all building up to the summer transfer window.
First of all, the latest on Raheem Sterling. That's one we can look forward to dragging on for a while I suspect.
Anyway, according to the Metro Liverpool are ready to lose the winger, who is yet to sign a new deal, with City poised to bid big.
That means Brendan Rodgers can recruit three more stars, including James Milner.
Writes Jon Harvey: Liverpool are reportedly ready to cash in on selling Raheem Sterling in order to fund signing Christian Benteke, Memphis Depay and James Milner.
Sterling is stalling on signing a new £100,000-a-week deal at Anfield and Manchester City are said to be considering bidding for the £50million-rated forward.
According to the Mirror, if Liverpool did decide to sell then boss Brendan Rodgers would have the money to go after Benteke, who was valued at £30m by Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood, PSV winger Depay and Manchester City midfielder Milner."
For those of you keeping a running tally, I think this might be a new name…
Charlton's 17-year-old defender Joe Gomez is said to be a target for multiple Premier league clubs but City have stolen a march on their rivals – at least, if a report in the Daily Mail is to be believed.
The paper's Sami Mokbel reports: "Gomez, a versatile defender who can play at right-back or central-defender, will be the target of numerous Premier League sides this summer.
"Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United all have a concrete interest in the teenager - but it is understood Manchester City are emerging as the strongest contender for his signature.
"Charlton owner Roland Duchatelet will sanction Gomez's - but wants at least £8million for the England Under-19 international."
As ever, nothing is signed and sealed (or delivered… sorry) until we confirm right here on mcfc.co.uk.
That's it for another 24 hours, but Inside City makes perfect Saturday morning viewing.
Until tomorrow…

As part of their surprise Christmas Day feast (and accompanying presents), Flight Director Deke Slayton included three miniature bottles of real brandy for the crew of Apollo 8. Astronauts Borman, Lovell, and Anders opted not to open the bottles, despite the rather rare privilege of sanctioned alcohol consumption during a flight mission.
Why the astronauts didn't open the brandy is hard to say. Borman had been ill for much of the mission — either from flu, reaction to his sleeping pill, or simple space adaptation syndrome (the Garns) — so adding booze to the mix was probably a bad idea. The crew also had to rely on sleeping pills to keep their rather strained and irregular sleeping schedule, which also made alcohol a poor choice. In any case, the three Apollo 8 mini-brandies became extremely rare space collectibles. Lovell eventually sold his at auction some 40 years later — for nearly $18,000!
Lovell also, arguably, got another unexpected Christmas gift on Apollo 8 — one he wouldn't realize until his harrowing tenure as mission commander of the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission. During Apollo 8, Lovell had to conduct a manual realignment of the command module's trajectory after a computer error left the craft off-course. Lovell used the stars Rigel and Sirius as visual references to get Apollo 8 back on course, so the crew could reset the Apollo Guidance Computer.
During Apollo 13, Lovell would have to perform a similarly unaided manual realignment of his craft. The Apollo 8 experience made the much more difficult and critical Apollo 13 attempt measurably easier for Lovell — possibly saving his and his crew's life.
That's not just a striking circumlunar solstice celebration, it's a modestly miraculous moment of Geek Trivia.

Wholesale used vehicle prices were down in February versus January, atypical of their seasonal pattern, but prices were up modestly on a year-over-year basis, according to the latest Kontos Kommentary from ADESA Chief Economist Tom Kontos. Continued wholesale supply growth was coupled with weaker retail demand — limited by severe weather conditions.
This unusual pattern would indicate that dealers were fairly aggressive in proactively bidding in-lane and online for the vehicles needed for the budding spring market, especially highly certifiable off-rental program vehicles remarketed by auto manufacturers, says Kontos.
According to ADESA Analytical Services' monthly analysis of Wholesale Used Vehicle Prices by Vehicle Model Class, wholesale used vehicle prices in February averaged $9,839 — down 1.4% compared to January but up 0.9% relative to February 2013. Compact cars and vans, which are popular rental and fleet vehicles, were the only segments that had both monthly and annual price gains.
As manufacturers capitalized on strong demand for certifiable units, prices for used vehicles remarketed by manufacturers were up 1.3% month-over-month and up 6.3% year-over-year. Prices for fleet/lease consignors were down 0.5% sequentially but up 1.1% annually. For dealer consignors, there was a 1.1% average price increase versus January but a 0.9% uptick versus February 2013. Based on data from CNW Marketing/Research, retail used vehicle sales were down 15.6% month-over-month, as severe weather again negatively impacted auto shopping. On the other hand, sales of certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles in February were up 7.7% from the prior month and up 14.1% from the prior year, according to figures from Autodata.
This Kontos Kommentary analysis is based on nearly six million annual sales transactions from more than 150 of the largest U.S. wholesale auto auctions, including those of ADESA as well as other auction companies. ADESA Analytical Services segregates these transactions to study trends by vehicle model class.

text: Money mightily influences elections but donating money to a candidate is not the only way to support him, or her. So one may still hope that, even though all of the faculty donations to presidential candidates at Harvard, Michigan, Stanford — and at "conservative" Chicago — law schools went to Democrats, there might be a McCain voter or two among them. Paul Caron's report (relayed to us today by Ed Whelan) is nonetheless potent evidence indeed of the pathetic state of "diversity" among faculty at elite law schools. There may be fewer evangelical Christians and practicing Roman Catholics on these faculties than there are McCain voters, even though evangelicals and Catholics together constitute a majority of the American population — as do, happily, McCain voters.

At 109 degrees, Houston's never been hotter
City ties all-time record high, but relief may be on the way
Updated 12:13 am, Sunday, August 28, 2011
It's another scorcher for the record books: Houston tied its all-time high temperature Saturday as the mercury soared to 109 degrees at Bush Intercontinental Airport.
Only once, on Sept. 4, 2000, has Houston recorded such a torrid temperature. The sweltering day capped an August that was the city's warmest month on record with 26 of the 27 days reaching at least 100 degrees.
The warmth blanketed southeast Texas on Saturday.
Even Galveston reached 100 degrees, something that's only happened about a half-dozen times in that city's long history. Beach crowds had thinned out considerably, but officials weren't sure if it was the weather or the return of school year that kept families home.
"Nobody's out," said Houston Police Department Officer S. Blevins, who was on patrol from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Wearing a 3- to 5-pound safety vest underneath a uniform in the heat isn't easy, but Blevins said it's not something he focuses on throughout the day. "Once you finally stop, you're pretty much worn out," he said.
Braving the heat
While duty forced Blevins to brave the heat, others ventured outdoors to avoid going stir crazy.
Kelly Ranucci and her two sons toughed it out at the skate park in Eleanor Tinsley Park. "We brought an igloo full of Gatorades, but we've already run out and we've been here like 45 minutes," she said. "So we probably won't last much longer."
Jason Glover sat drenched in sweat on top of a table at the skate park, a rest stop in his weekend bicycle trek from the Galleria area to downtown.
"There's a lot of water and when you're on your bike there's wind," the 30-year-old said. "There's some shade out there, so it helps."
Jeff Harrison, who was out in the blistering heat taking pictures of the downtown skyline, had a day of outdoor activities planned. "We're going to go swimming today, so we'll probably be out for another couple of hours," he said. "I didn't want to sit inside today. I've been sitting inside for a long time. It was time to get out and about and have some fun."
Relief ahead
Despite the brutal heat - and, alas, today should be nearly as warm - relief does appear to be in sight.
The high-pressure systems that have baked Houston all summer appear likely to move east by the middle of the week, say forecasters with the Houston/Galveston office of the National Weather Service.
Daytime high temperatures should finally fall out of the 100s by Tuesday or Wednesday.
Computer models forecasters rely upon show a large area of tropical moisture moving north from the Caribbean and Bay of Campeche later in the week.
Such a feature has a good chance of bringing widespread showers into the greater Houston area toward the end of the week, as well as bringing daytime high temperatures into the lower 90s.
In other words, next weekend could be 15 degrees cooler than this one.

Event Reliability in Wireless Sensor Networks
Ensuring reliable transport of data in resource constrained Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is one of the primary concerns. The two reliability mechanisms typically used in WSNs are packet reliability and event reliability. Packet reliability requires all packets from all the sensor nodes to reach the sink that can result in wastage of sensors' limited energy resources. The sensing regions of densely deployed sensor nodes often overlap with one another and data from nodes that are in close proximity tend to exhibit high level of spatial locality. This introduces the concept of event reliability where a reliable transfer of event data from each sensing region in a sensor network is sufficient.

The end of facial hair? Scientists warn trend has reached 'peak beard'
THE trend for men to sport thick facial hair may be coming to an end, as scientists warn we may have reached what they are calling "peak beard".
Research has found that a phenomenon known as "negative frequency-dependent sexual selection", which is present in several animal species, may now mark the downfall of the beard.
Research conducted by the University of New South Wales found that when people are confronted by a succession of bearded men, clean-shaven men become more attractive to them.
But it also found the phenomenon worked the other way, and when shown a large number of clean shaven or stubbly men, the beard regained its appeal.
Participants were shown 36 images of men's faces.
The first 24 pictures featured exclusively bearded or non-bearded men, or a mixture of the two.
The final 12 images then showed clean shaven or bearded men, with the participants ranking their attractiveness on a scale of minus four to four.
Researchers found the ranking of these men strongly depended upon the exposure of participants to bearded men prior to this.
The more beards they had already seen, the less attractive subsequent beards were, and vice versa with clean-shaven men.
Researchers picked 1,453 bisexual or heterosexual women and 213 heterosexual men to take part in the study.
Speaking to Guardian Australia, Researcher Robert Brooks Said: "There is a lot of faddishness with beards, they are on the way back and it's interesting to look at that interaction with culture.
"It appears that beards gain an advantage when rare, but when they are in fashion and common, they are declared trendy and that attractiveness is over."
Professor Brooks conceded it was hard to translate to how beards were rated in day-to-day life, but said the fashion for beards might be reaching an end.
He said: "The bigger the trend gets, the weaker the preference for beards and the tide will go out again.
"We may well be at peak beard… I think we are near saturation point. This thing can't get much bigger.
"These trends usually move in 30-year cycles from when they are first noticed but, with the internet, things are moving a lot faster."
Professor Brooks said the team are now working on a larger, follow-up study that will look at the link between facial hair and masculinity.
He said: "We still don't really know the primary function of the beard.
"Some women are attracted to it, some are repelled. It is clear it is a sign of manliness, it makes men look older and also more aggressive.
"How much women like that depends, in a way, on how overtly masculine they like their men.
"That underlying component will wax and wane when it comes to beards. If guys aren't getting any joy with their beards, they will quickly change."

Not another set of 2016 predictionsA thinker's approach to 2016
I know I don't just speak for myself when I say it's good to see the back of those sleep-inducing articles that start with "Five predictions for 2016" and "2016 the year of the blah blah blah". When are PR and Marketing departments going to wake up and face the fact that business leaders stopped caring about all that soon after it made its debut on social media a few years back. Some of the articles are so crass they may as well be predicting a rise in the oxygen in-take from the human race in the year ahead.READ THE REST...

KELOWNA – Request for Proposal (RFP) seminars and Contractor-Supplier boot camps will be offered in communities across B.C. to prepare B.C. businesses for the economic opportunity the Liquefied Natural Gas industry offers.
A Request for Proposal seminar for Kelowna will be held May 27 to guide industry through the RFP process that will help them bid on major contracts. A boot-camp style workshop was held in Kelowna in April to help local businesses understand procurement opportunities and processes associated with major LNG projects. The boot camps and seminars are free to attend and open to all local businesses
"The RFP Seminar set for May 27 in Kelowna is a terrific opening for local businesses to understand procurement opportunities and processes associated with major LNG projects," Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick said. "I am confident this seminar will help Kelowna businesses make the most of LNG opportunities."
To register visit: http://www.investkelowna.com/events/lng-opportunities-preparing-professional-bidproposal
Delivered in partnership with the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Northern Development Initiative Trust, these workshops are a key part of the LNG-Buy BC Program announced at the Union of B.C. Municipalities' convention, in 2013.
"These opportunities for new relationships throughout our province are a key to the long-term success of our LNG strategy," Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson said. "Providing opportunities for business to adapt to this new market will improve the likelihood for a debt-free-future."
"These workshops are about connecting the multinationals setting down roots in B.C. with local businesses both big and small. LNG companies will need everything from contractors and engineering firms to caterers, accountants and office supplies – it's a huge opportunity," Premier Christy Clark, Westside Kelowna MLA said.
In May 2014, the B.C. Government will host the 2nd International LNG Conference to link British Columbians with the economic potential emerging today and in the future. "Powering a Strong Economy: British Columbia's LNG in the Global Market" will be held at the Vancouver Convention Centre from May 21-23, 2014.
The conference is comprised of three components: a conference, a trade show, and an interactive career fair for youth. B.C. businesses will have an opportunity to showcase their capabilities at the trade show to drive business-to-business connections. Contractor-Supplier boot camps and RFP seminars will also be held in Vancouver at the LNG conference on the trade show floor.

I have successfully hatched a little set of Pekins and I am very attached to them all. I now have a problem. They are 5 weeks old and yesterday everything was fine and suddenly, today, one of them is unable to walk properly. One leg seems to have stopped working correctly and can only sort of push out to one side. Her aim is also shot to pieces too as she tries to eat, overshooting the feeding area and her depth perception is also out when drinking her water - not dipping deep enough to touch the water with her break. She seems almost palsied - some slight head tremors.
The only chickens I have are her 3 siblings and I have, 10 days ago, hatched a set of Splash Orpingtons. I googled her symptoms and seemed to come up with Mareks as a potential answer. I have separated her from her siblings and popped her in cat box to minimise her wobbling and falling about. I am very new to this as these are the only chickens I have ever had.
I don't understand how she could have caught it - If thats what she has, as we have no poultry around us at all and she has only been out twice in the garden for half an hour on a sunny day. None of her siblings are showing any symptoms. Is there any thing I can do to help her . .? Some sites have recommended St Johns Wort (Hypericum) and aspirins as it is a nerve inflamation and this helps reduce the inflamation. I do not want her suffering, or to prolong any agony, poor quality of life or anything of that nature . . But I am also feeling she is a valued pet and I want to help her as much as I can after all I hatched her . . .
Please help! . . Any solutions, other than Mareks, would be exceedingly welcome!!! If it is Mareks would a trip to the vet bring any assistance or should I just ask the vet to euthanise (I can't do it myself - I can't even kill a spider in the house!!) and hope it hasn't spread to the others. Thought the hard bit was the hatching and sods law she is the prettiest of the bunch with lovely markings and a beautiful personality.
