TIGA wants Government help
UK trade magazine MCV is today reporting a call from developer's trade body TIGA for the British government to aid UK games development in a similar scheme to the four-million Euro fund set-aside by the French government. The money will be awarded to the French developers judged most worthy, and will assist the lucky start-up with getting their product onto the marketplace.
As well as promoting such a scheme for UK companies, TIGA are in discussions with the Department of Trade and Industry, organising possible tax credits for developer's involved in research and development. A formal submission on this matter will apparently be submitted by October. Fingers crossed that all this will come to fruition and prove a helping hand to fledgling UK game developers.

By TONY EIERDAM
Three times in their first four District 6-3A games, the state-ranked No. 7 Kennedale Ladycats have put up at least 80 points while strolling to a 4-0 record.
So when the Ladycats looked up at the scoreboard at the end of the first quarter of their contest Friday night against the Mineral Wells Lady Rams and had just seven points and were trailing by a point, they had to be worried.
The Lady Rams, on the other hand, were coming off what their coach Ed Shelstead was their "worst game of the year" in a loss Tuesday at Springtown, and they wanted to show Kennedale and the rest of the district that they were better than what they showed on Tuesday.
The Lady Rams trailed by just four points at halftime and went into the fourth quarter behind by 10, but athletic Kennedale, led by 23 points from Autumn Williams, wore down the Lady Rams to take a 67-50 win at the MWHS gym.
However, the Lady Rams (19-7, 3-2) may have achieved more respect in this loss than they had in their three previous district wins.
"I am very proud of our girls," Lady Rams head coach Ed Shelstead said. "They competed well, and that is always our goal.
"Our goal for every game is to outwork our opponent. Kennedale took us blow for blow and obviously they came out on top, but I am just so proud of our girls right now.
"You think about Mineral Wells (girls basketball) and where they have been the last few years, and they have not played in this kind of an atmosphere.
"Again, I couldn't be prouder of our girls."
Shelstead mixed in different offensive and defensive strategies. He began the game defensively in a zone, and it was clear the Ladycats did not know how to handle it.

Ehlert notes that it's important to begin thinking about adult living while your child with autism is still young. In part, that's because children with autism are usually eligible for special needs and transition programs through their schools, which means that your child's educational program can be crafted to support your plans for the future. It's also because the process of thinking through, planning for and creating an ideal living situation for a person on the autism spectrum may take a long time.
Step One - Envision an Ideal Setting for Your Adult Child With AutismAll parents, Ehlert says, want their children to be "safe and happy" as adults. But every parent has a different vision of what "safe and happy" might look like. That vision, she says, depends as much on the parent's experience and attitudes as on the child's abilities and preferences. Still, it's important for parents to start thinking about their own vision for their child's future before making any concrete actions.
Where would your child thrive? In a city? On a farm? On his own? With a group? At home with parents? In essence, says Ehlert, there are five general living options available:
- At home with family
- Apartment with services that come in and check on residents (make sure they are paying bills, cleaning, etc.) These are living support services, and they could be privately or publically funded.
- Housing unit program/roommate -- individuals live in a house or apartment building that belongs to a structured support group; caregiver makes sure everyone is OK at night, runs programs, etc.
- Group home (community integrated living arrangement) -- caregiver lives on site
- "Dorm-style," large facilities (institutional settings, very low level workshop living)
Step Two - Determine if Your Ideal Setting ExistsOnce parents (or parents and their teenage children with autism) have identified an ideal living situation, the next step is to determine whether such as setting already exists or whether the family will have to create the setting. A surprising number of parents are involved with or considering involvement with the creation of a residential setting for their child with autism. Some are funding or developing supportive living situations; others are envisioning and creating work/home settings in towns, cities, and rural areas.
Often, information about adult living situations in your state or province is available through school district sources. If not, you may need to look into the Department of Developmental Disabilities, Department of Public Welfare, or other appropriate agency. Do your homework to determine what's out there.

TRENTON ¢ Mercer County, which gave up its juvenile jail, is now having trouble bringing teenage suspects before judges because they have to be trucked in by Middlesex County authorities.
The problem came to light again earlier today when a 16-year-old suspected armed robber failed to show for a hearing before Mercer Superior Court Judge Pedro Jimenez.
Jacyr Rock, whom a judge has ordered tried as an adult, is lodged in the Middlesex youth jail because Mercer no longer has such a facility and cut a deal with the neighboring county to handle the few, typically violent, teenagers itÆs willing to lock up.
Jimenez and defense lawyer Jason Matey said Middlesex often doesnÆt bring in suspects for hearings, or shows up with them too late in the day.
ōIt looks like (Rock) is not going to be brought in again today,ÆÆ said Matey. ōHeÆs a juvenile with a first-degree robbery chargeÆÆ who was indicted Dec. 6 but still hasnÆt had a court hearing. ōItÆs impinging on my clientÆs rights.ÆÆ
Jimenez said ōitÆs nobodyÆs fault but Middlesex CountyÆÆ and suggested the court ōmight have to send an extradition orderÆÆ to get the 16-year-old suspect in an armed robbery on May 27, 2012.

Determining Which Ministry Gets What
One pastor shares how to best allocate church budget money.
"Pastor, we don't have a budget. We just do what the Lord leads us to do."
These words were spoken to me soon after I agreed to be the preacher at a small rural congregation, which used seminary students to fill the pulpit. When the church voted to hire me, they called me "pastor," but I did not function in that capacity. I was at the church only on weekends, and they knew I would probably leave as soon as my seminary days were over.
As an idealistic young student, I liked the thought of having no budget; it created in my mind the picture of a congregation sensitive to the Lord's leadership, without the bureaucracy associated with a budget.
After a few weeks, I mentioned to one of the leading men that I intended to introduce a new ministry in the next church business meeting, which was held at the conclusion of worship. This man asked me several questions about the ministry idea.
Then he said, "Don't bring up your idea this month. Wait at least a month, until I've visited with some of the men of the church. Your idea has merit, but it may not fit in with what some members think."
I found out later that he had called two other men, and they had talked about my idea. They had looked over the church's financial condition and decided I shouldn't broach my idea in the coming business meeting.
I realize now that these three men were not stubborn or unreasonable but practical. My idea wasn't that great, and the church was in more need of other ministries.
What I especially learned, though, was that the church did have a budget! It was in the mind of the three leaders who in conversation determined the financial priorities of the church.
A church budget is simply someone's priorities for use of church funds. These may or may not be the congregation's priorities, or even the present leadership's, but someone or some group has priorities that determine how money is allocated.
Since every church has a budget, we are wise to recognize it and consciously shape it. It may be efficient when a select two or three determine the budget, but it is not healthy.
Of course, once you open up the process to the congregation, even through their elected leaders, you've got to answer the question, "So, how much should we give to each ministry and line item?" Answering that question is not always easy, but it is what setting a budget is all about.
Here are some principles I use in helping a church settle that question.

Police slammed over A-league arrests
Newcastle Jets supporters have criticised police and security guards for their reaction to an incident at Hunter Stadium in Newcastle which was captured on mobile phones. Nine News.PT0M30S http://www.theage.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2zghn 620 349 December 16, 2013

Outraged Newcastle Jets supporters have slammed police and security guards for their reaction to an incident at Hunter Stadium on Saturday night.
Towards the end of the Jets' 1-0 loss to Western Sydney Wanderers, three opposition fans entered the Jets Squadron bay.
Police allege one man punched another spectator in the face three times before assaulting officers attempting to arrest him.

The 41-year-old was wrestled to the ground and taken to Waratah Police Station where he was charged with assaulting police and behaving in an offensive manner.
He will appear in Newcastle Local Court on Monday.
Squadron secretary Toby Mills said police became aggressive towards Jets fans after the Western Sydney invaders were escorted from the bay.
A screen grab of a tussle between police and fans at Hunter Stadium.
The altercation was a slight blip in what was otherwise a reportedly positive game of football with both sets of fans praised by their clubs after the match.
"There wasn't any real trouble until the police came in," Mr Mills said.
"The [Wanderers fans] were just some drunk idiots who came in to stir us up with some banter.
"The Jets fans were giving it back too, there was never any danger."
Video footage obtained by the Newcastle Herald shows police wrestling fans in a bid to eject them from the stadium.
Matt Vandenberg, who captured the incident on his iPhone, said one man left the ground bleeding and handcuffed.
"I know [the police] have a job to do but they went too far," he said.
"I had a mate who was just in the wrong place and wrong time – he got hit in the head."
Mr Vandenberg, 20, follows the Jets' home and away matches and said he was "pretty shattered" after the incident.
"At one point a cop stood on a guy's head, he wasn't resisting but they still wanted to go for him," he said.
"But if the security guards hadn't let the boys in the bay this [wouldn't have happened]."
Mr Mills agreed.
He said the Western Sydney fans were clearly decked out in red and black supporter gear and he was disappointed they got through security.
But Mr Mills said it was the police response that most upset him and his young family.
"They decided to clear an entire area, started pushing around Jets supporters and threatening them," he said. "That's when the problems started. I was with my wife and three-year-old son and one of the cops said 'Step back or I'll hit you'."
Squadron leaders are planning to complain to both the club and police about the handling of the incident.
Mr Mills said the group suggested to the club before the match that Western Sydney fans should be escorted out of the southern end of the ground when the match finished, to avoid walking past the Squadron.

The Committee is expected to discuss Thursday night whether to endorse a decision by the Zoning Board of Adjustment to permit a temporary cell tower on a residential property.
T-Mobile applied to the Zoning Board for permission to install a tower along River Road in the township to provide service to customers during .
Existing T-Mobile towers sit on top of PSE&G towers, which will be removed for the utility company's upgrade project. To continue service, T-Mobile has asked for towers at the and , and they hope for a third tower on the residential River Road property.
The Zoning Board approved a resolution which allows several variances for the antenna for T-Mobile at 610 River Rd. after they heard expert testimony and read reports on the issue. Those variances are:
- a "D-1" use variance to allow installation of wireless communications facility on a residential lot
- a "D(6)" height variance (35 feet permitted, 102 feet proposed)
- a "D-3" conditional variance for the maximum width of panel antennas (12 inches required, 13.3 inches proposed)
- and several "C" variances for the setback distance, rear yard setback distance, side yard setback distance and the height of the fence (6 feet required, 7 feet proposed.)
"The application indicates that the temporary tower ... [is] necessary to continue service to wireless customers for a two year [sic] period," the resolution reads in part, and includes proof that additional towers elsewhere in the township would not allow continued service to customers.
To install the towers, two dogwood trees will have to be removed, though the Zoning Board's resolution stipulates "four trees of similar native species [will] be planted when the area [is] restored after the temporary tower [is] removed."
The plan requires a conservation easement, in writing, from the property owner, and final determination by the Chatham Township Committee as to whether the temporary tower can be allowed.
The tower is currently listed as a discussion item, for possible resolution or ordinance, on the agenda for Thursday's committee meeting.
A full copy of the Zoning Board's resolution and the agenda for Thursday's meeting may be found in the Photos & Videos section of this article.

There is another text critical article in the next issue too (with a much more interesting title): Bodner Keith, 'Mouse Trap: A Text-Critical Problem with Rodents in the Ark Narrative' (http://jts.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/fln044v1)

One puzzle relating to Dr Head's article: why cite Robinson-Pierpont from the preliminary edition of 1991 when the more precise 2005 edition has been available for the past two and a half years?

Thanks Maurice.
There are a couple of aspects to the "puzzle". The first is that there is a five year range from initial discovery to final publication. I would need to check the timing, but at a guess I would say that the numbers from RP1991 were checked before you kindly gave me a copy of the 2005 edition late in 2006 (since if these dates are correct the article was already submitted by then).
So the second aspect is why the reference was not up-dated in the proof/correction stage? There was no conscious decision about it. The point is relatively incidental, and I doubt that the numbers are different in the 2005 edition, although an up-date may have looked neater I guess. A possible contributing factor is that the 2005 edition currently lives at home in the study with a couple of other editions for 'at home' use, while the proofing stage for the article took place at work in my office. A further factor could be that Tyndale House Library (I now discover) does not have a copy of the 2005 edition.
Anyway, I hope that explains your "puzzle". I hope that is the biggest problem in the article!

Norton Police and Fire Departments responded to two motor vehicle crashes over the weekend.
At 11 p.m. Saturday, Sergeant Robert Whitfield of was monitoring traffic and conducting radar at the intersection of Taunton Avenue and E. Main Street in a marked cruiser when he observed a pick-up truck lose control as it attempted to turn onto Taunton Avenue. The truck traveled over the sidewalk and crashed through a fence in front of the .
The operator, Eric Charron, 27, of Highland Street, Taunton, was placed under arrest by Sgt. Whitfield at the scene. He was not injured in the crash.
Charron is charged with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and negligent operation of a motor vehicle. Charron was transported to the Norton police station and later released. He will appear in the Attleboro District Court Monday, July 30.
Two hours later, Norton Police and responded to the area of 250 E. Main St. for a motor vehicle crash involving one car. The vehicle, a 2006 Toyota Corolla operated by Christopher Voelker, 22, of Rollins Road, Easton, was traveling westbound on E. Main Street when it struck a utility pole in front of the convenience store. The vehicle sustained heavy damage, rolled over and landed on its roof in the crash. The utility pole was broken in half and wires were covering the roadway.
Three passengers were in the vehicle. They were Adam Ortiz, 20, of Easton; Madsen Bazile, 19, of Brockton; and Nathan Barrows, 19, of Easton. The extent of injuries and condition of the victims are unknown at this time. Voelker and all three passengers were transported to area hospitals for injuries, including Sturdy Hospital, Good Samaritan and Rhode Island Hospital.
According to Fire Captain Kent Campbell, the injuries were believed to be non-life threatening.
Mansfield and Easton Fire Departments assisted with the transports. The crash is under investigation by Patrolman Michael McKenney.
Voelker was issued a citation by Norton Police for speeding and negligent operation of a motor vehicle. Alcohol was not believed to be a factor.
National Grid and Verizon were notified to repair damage to the utility pole. As of 8 a.m. today, that section of E. Main Street was still closed to through traffic. Traffic was detoured using Leonard Street, Burt Street and Plain Street.

VANCOUVER, Canada — The handwriting wasn't exactly on the wall Sunday night for the Vancouver Grizzlies, who were in enough trouble already considering their last-place record and the arrival of the Lakers.
But this wasn't far off.
The story was on the wall.
An article in the Vancouver Province in which George Lynch ripped the Lakers, his team for three seasons before a trade sent him north, had been posted in the visitors' locker room at GM Place, in case anyone there didn't see the 20 or so copies that had been passed around. They came, they read, they conquered, using the comments as motivation for what became a 95-82 victory over the Grizzlies before 19,193 that included a personal-best 23 assists for Nick Van Exel.

Climate change
Another angle is the advancement of backup solutions. Most, if not all, of the traditional backup vendors have embraced disk-to-disk (D2D) backup and a new crop of backup solutions built specifically for D2D backup has emerged. Today, backup vendors are keenly aware of user needs for addressing backup window problems with better backup performance, improving recovery time objectives with rapid recovery techniques, and reducing the capacity of data transferred and stored with capacity optimization technologies.
Because many of the newer backup solutions address these primary concerns, how have VTL vendors responded? It turns out they're introducing a crop of new features to win over the pragmatic buyer (you again), which is great news for IT organizations.
VTL requirements
ESG surveyed VTL users about the types of features they would like to see in their current VTL solution. Data deduplication and improvements in VTL management topped the list, followed closely by improved scalability, and better recoverability and performance. Some users, struggling with methods for getting data offsite for DR purposes, prioritized DR features and support for physical tape on the VTL back end. Lastly, support for protocols--such as FICON and ESCON for mainframe support, and Ethernet for iSCSI support--rounded out the list.
These users are concerned with overall functionality. VTL vendors are beginning to factor this into their development roadmaps. For example, implementing replication between VTLs has become a standard feature for most solutions. VTL buyers are interested in how that capability maps to current processes and existing environments. Can the replication occur to more than one location? Is it possible to encrypt the data while in flight? Is scheduling (at off-peak times) or bandwidth throttling available? What techniques are offered to reduce the capacity of data transferred?
Here are some of the Gen2 features VTL users are interested in.
Capacity and performance scalability. The ability to scale storage capacity and performance are high-priority requirements that go hand in hand. Some early VTL solutions had design bottlenecks where the VTL architectures didn't fully take into account how backup applications work or what performance limits they would hit. Often, the existing backup processes or jobs would have to change just to take the pressure off VTL solutions. Gen2 VTLs must have the ability to seamlessly increase throughput performance as backup window pressure and recovery objectives dictate. The same holds true for capacity limits, and how easy it is to deploy additional disk capacity in the environment.

The Supreme Court of Georgia has denied the appeal of accused killer Michael Jason Registe, allowing the state to use cell phone records in his prosecution in the shooting deaths of two men in 2007.
The case gained national attention when Registe fled the country, sparking an international manhunt that was featured on Americas Most Wanted.
Registe is accused in the execution-style shootings of 21-year-old Randy Newton Jr. and 20-year-old Bryan Kilgore in July 2007 at the Cross Creek Apartments in Columbus. Both victims were Columbus State University student-athletes.
At issue in the appeal was evidence garnered through Registes cell phone records.
A Chevrolet Blazer in which the men were shot and killed belonged to a friend of Kilgores, who had borrowed the SUV to go and meet someone named Mike. The man told police Kilgore had left him a phone number for Mike, and when Kilgore failed to return, he called the number. The person who answered said Kilgore had come and gone.
Police determined that the number was from Cricket Communications and sought records connected to the number. Those records led to Registe.
Registes lawyers contended that the records were given without benefit of a warrant and should not be allowed into evidence. A lower court denied that motion, leading to the Supreme Court appeal.
We conclude that Cricket believed in good faith that disclosure of Registes cell phone records was appropriate, Justice Harold Melton wrote for the court. Here, Cricket received information directly from police that its records could help identify an at-large suspect of a double homicide committed within a day of the request and that the suspect presented a present and immediate danger. This supported Crickets good faith belief that there was an ongoing emergency, and that belief supported Crickets voluntary disclosure of its records.

But one day at her lowest, John surprisingly gives Bea a pep talk. This becomes life-changing for her. Bea transforms into a beautiful and successful career woman and John remains to be her dream man. So when she reads his name in the obituary, Bea is shattered with grief and goes to the wake in hysterics to the shock of everyone. It turns out that the deceased is John Eduque Sr., John's father. Realizing her mistake, Bea hurriedly leaves, unaware of the damage she has caused especially on the widow, played by Eugene Domingo. Thinking that Bea is the mistress of the deceased, Mrs. Eduque succumbs to depression. Seeing his mother's misery, John looks for Bea to rectify the situation. But the revenge ploy backfires as he falls in love with her. Fearing his mother's reaction becomes a dilemma.

TRAVERSE CITY — The engine that powers northern Michigan's tourism economy is running again.
Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, shuttered for a little more than two weeks because of the partial government shutdown, opened its Dune Climb and visitor's center Wednesday. The Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive at the park is expected to reopen Friday morning following a last-minute budget deal reached in Washington D.C. Tuesday night.
The reopening was a huge relief for business owners dependent on tourism.
"My fall season is still doing well, but I've lost some business because of this," said Chris Theobald, owner of the Honor Motel, which sits on a direct pathway into the scenic park. "I'm glad to hear it's back open."
Theobald said four or five customers called to cancel reservations at the Benzie County business because of the shutdown.
"I did lose some reservations," Theobald said.
The park's local economic impact is estimated to be $132 million annually, helping sustain about 2,300 jobs in the region. Empire business owner Paul Skinner also heads the Empire Chamber of Commerce. He said it's difficult to tell the full impact of the park shutdown on the northern Michigan economy but he said everyone knows the park is "critical" to the region's economy.
"If they (tourists) want to come look at the colors there is a certain window -- otherwise they are gone," Skinner said, adding, "We likely lost some day trippers wanting to come see the colors."
"It should have never have gotten to this -- to utilize the American public and economy as a bargaining chip is not very wise," said Skinner, who owns the antique store Miser's Hoard.
Tom Ulrich, deputy superintendent at the park, said the shutdown was certainly "disappointing" for some 60 employees furloughed.

Many of the ranches that are for sale in Oregon are beautiful.
Most people probably do not think of Oregon as a farming and ranching state, but when you really take a look at everything they have to offer, it becomes quite apparent that many of the communities there exist around farming, ranching, and logging. While I do not know much about the logging industry, I can tell you quite a bit about all of the work that is being done around the farming and ranching industries in the state. Each has developed quite nicely and I am interested to see where they will head in the future. My big fascination with these industries in the state is that the Oregon brand is getting stronger and stronger and this means that many of the people involved in the industries are going to be facing the option of whether they would like to continue the growth or sell of the lands. The big thing that I am seeing is that a number of the owners of the lands are starting to put the areas up for sale.
Putting family ranches up for sale in Oregon is becoming very popular as more and more small-time ranchers start to see the benefit of selling them on to other operators. The issue with this is that the smaller ranchers are probably going to be putting more care into the animals and the industry than some of the larger players. As a result, I really do hope that many of the ranchers do decide to not put up their Oregon ranches for sale. Nevertheless, if that is the case I do think that many of the ranches should be put into land trusts.
I have a friend that owns a family farm and he has some of his lands in a land trust. The concept of a land trust is pretty interesting and often it benefits the people that own the land more than if they were going to try and develop the lands. The thing that I have learned is that the land trust allows for the rancher to make some money off of the land for not developing the area and then the group of individuals essentially pay the land owner for not developing the area. It works pretty well and could be a good instrument from keeping the ranches that are for sale in Oregon from going to some of the developers that are looking to change the lands.
Nevertheless, there are many ranches in Oregon that are for sale and not all of the owners are going to try and develop the lands anyway. The great thing about all of the ranches in the state is that they do have a strong tradition of farming and ranching and that means that regardless of what I know, which is very little, they have a very good understanding of what it takes to keep these lands going through all of the changes in the national market. It will be interesting to see what happens in the next five years.

Dario Franchitti of Scotland, drives his the #10 Target Chip Ganassi Racing Honda Dallara DW12 during the Sebring Open Test for the IZOD INDYCAR Series at Sebring International Raceway on March 9, 2012 in Sebring, Florida.
(March 8, 2012 – Photo by Jonathan Ferrey/Getty Images North America)
(PhatzRadio / USA Today) — In five of its seven years, the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg has ended the same way 75% of Izod IndyCar Series races have since 2006. A Penske Racing or Target Chip Ganassi Racing driver has thrust his arms triumphantly, on a podium adjacent to the sparkling Salvador Dali Museum that faces the 14-turn course.
Sunday's season opener might be no different, but it still demands watching if Dario Franchitti, Scott Dixon, Will Power, Ryan Briscoe or Helio Castroneves is leading the final lap.
Even for the powerhouses this year, there will be no sure things in a reliability minefield of potential engine failures and the unknowns of a new chassis.

"Right when you think you know who is going to win, it won't be over until that last corner," Andretti Autosport's Ryan Hunter-Reay said. "It's going to mix it up a bit. When you think you can predict what's going to happen, it'll change."
Along with Penske and KV Racing Technology, the Andretti team has switched to Chevrolet, which returns to IndyCar after a seven-year absence. It figures to mount a challenge to Honda, which will keep Ganassi in its fold this year. Lotus, which doesn't have a first-tier team in its lineup, also is building motors this year.
Engine failures were eradicated from IndyCar during Honda's run as the uncontested supplier since 2006. But there were many problems in preseason testing as the competition for horsepower pushed manufacturers to test the breaking points.
Three-time defending champion Franchitti welcomed the unpredictability.
"I missed it," said the 14-year veteran, whose career began in an era of stiff engine competition. "Every race I've won has been with Honda, so to work with them in a competitive environment is a lot of fun. During testing, all the manufacturers had blowups at certain points, and guys were like, 'Oh, my God! An engine blew up." I (said), 'Guys, this used to happen all the time.' You are definitely going to have reliability playing a part. In some ways I am excited about it, and in some ways, I hope I am not on the wrong end of it. But it's a part of what we do."
The four-time champ's trademark consistency — his No. 10 Dallara-Honda finished all but two races over the past three seasons — might not be as sure a pathway to the 2012 championship. Dixon, his teammate, said the decrease in reliability would lessen the chances the title race would resemble the two-driver shows of Franchitti and Power in 2010-11.
"It's hard to knock someone off when you are trying to catch up by a few points as opposed to a big swing," Dixon said. "This year is going to be interesting (because) there's going to be weaknesses in the car, the engine. It's going to be crazy as far as the points chase."
Though the established teams have turned more laps in testing with the new Dallara chassis, no one is close to mastering how to tune it. An underdog could hit on a magic setup earlier, particularly at a track such as St. Pete known for producing top-five surprises. Last year, Simona de Silvestro scored a career-best fourth for underfunded HVM Racing, and Hunter-Reay (Vision Racing) and Justin Wilson (Dale Coyne Racing) finished second and third in 2009.
"You can't underestimate the strength of some of the smaller teams," said Penske's Briscoe, the 2009 winner at St. Pete. "There is a lot of talent spread through the field on the engineering side and driving side. You can never underestimate that."
Simon Pagenaud, a 2010 American Le Mans Series champion who will drive for Sam Schmidt Motorsports, said there'll be some surprises in the first four races before the Indianapolis 500.
"Schmidt is going to be one of those teams because we're figuring the car out," he said. "But in the season, Penske and Ganassi will improve at a greater rate with people at the shop working to make the car quicker. Some smaller teams don't have the resources to have people working at the shop while we're racing."

Texas prosecutor, wife found dead at home, 2 months after killing of assistant prosecutor
KAUFMAN, Texas (AP) — A Texas prosecutor and his wife were found killed in their house two months after one of his assistants was gunned down near their office, authorities said.
Investigators found the bodies of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, on Saturday, said Kaufman County sheriff's Lt. Justin Lewis. Police, FBI agents, Texas Rangers and deputies were part of the investigation.
Assistant district attorney Mark Hasse was shot to death in a parking lot a block from his office on Jan. 31.
Lewis declined to say how the couple died or whether authorities believe their deaths are linked to Hasse's. He wouldn't provide further details.
Kaufman Police Chief Chris Aulbaugh told The Dallas Morning News that the McLellands had been shot in their home and that although investigators didn't know if their deaths and Hasse's were related, they couldn't discount it.
Francis celebrates 1st Easter Mass as pope in St. Peter's Square, jammed with joyful faithful
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis is celebrating his first Easter Sunday Mass as pontiff in St. Peter's Square, which is packed by joyous pilgrims, tourists and Romans.
Francis strode onto the flower-bedecked esplanade in front of St. Peter's Basilica. Tens of thousands of faithful had already filled the square hours before the Mass began in mid-morning. Francis bowed his head in reflection as the Gospel was sung in Latin, recounting what Christians believe is the central mystery of their faith — the resurrection of Jesus after this death by crucifixion.
A white canopy sheltered the altar on the steps. After heavy rain battered Rome during the night, more was forecast. But Sunday saw sunny skies alternate with clouds.
After Mass ends, Francis will give his blessing and speech from the basilica's balcony.
Business and labor strike deal on low-skilled worker program for immigration bill
WASHINGTON (AP) — Big business and labor have struck a deal on a new low-skilled worker program, removing the biggest hurdle to completion of sweeping immigration legislation allowing 11 million illegal immigrants eventual U.S. citizenship, labor and Senate officials said Saturday.
The agreement was reached in a phone call late Friday night with AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, U.S. Chamber of Commerce head Tom Donohue, and Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, who's been mediating the dispute.
The deal resolves disagreements over wages for the new workers and which industries would be included. Those disputes had led talks to break down a week ago, throwing into doubt whether Schumer and seven other senators crafting a comprehensive bipartisan immigration bill would be able to complete their work as planned.
The deal must still be signed off on by the other senators working with Schumer, including Republicans John McCain of Arizona and Marco Rubio of Florida, but that's expected to happen, according to a person with knowledge of the talks who spoke on condition of anonymity. With the agreement in place, the senators are expected to unveil their legislation the week of April 8. Their measure would secure the border, crack down on employers, improve legal immigration and create a 13-year pathway to citizenship for the millions of illegal immigrants already here.
It's a major second-term priority of President Barack Obama's and would usher in the most dramatic changes to the nation's faltering immigration system in more than two decades.
North Korea warns South Korea of 'state of war,' threatens to close joint factory park
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea warned Seoul on Saturday that the Korean Peninsula had entered "a state of war" and threatened to shut down a border factory complex that's the last major symbol of inter-Korean cooperation.
Analysts say a full-scale conflict is extremely unlikely, noting that the Korean Peninsula has remained in a technical state of war for 60 years. But the North's continued threats toward Seoul and Washington, including a vow to launch a nuclear strike, have raised worries that a misjudgment between the sides could lead to a clash.
In Washington, the White House said Saturday that the United States is taking seriously the new threats by North Korea but also noted Pyongyang's history of "bellicose rhetoric."
North Korea's threats are seen as efforts to provoke the new government in Seoul, led by President Park Geun-hye, to change its policies toward Pyongyang, and to win diplomatic talks with Washington that could get it more aid. North Korea's moves are also seen as ways to build domestic unity as young leader Kim Jong Un strengthens his military credentials.
On Thursday, U.S. military officials revealed that two B-2 stealth bombers dropped dummy munitions on an uninhabited South Korean island as part of annual defense drills that Pyongyang sees as rehearsals for invasion. Hours later, Kim ordered his generals to put rockets on standby and threatened to strike American targets if provoked.
Supreme Court's ruling in Novartis case to impact future of generic medicines made in India
NEW DELHI (AP) — India's Supreme Court is to rule Monday on a landmark patent case involving Swiss drugmaker Novartis AG that focuses on demands by major companies that their investments be protected, against Indian companies that say they should be allowed to continue producing cheaper generic versions of many lifesaving medicines.
A decision in the seven-year legal battle is keenly awaited by the two most interested parties— big pharma companies and health aid groups — with both sides saying the outcome will set a precedent with far-reaching consequences for the future availability of the drugs.
"Across the world, people rely on India for supplies of affordable versions of expensive patented medicines," said Leena Menghaney of Doctors Without Borders. "This case will have fundamental consequences."
The case goes back to 2006 when Novartis' application for a fresh patent in India for its cancer drug imatinib mesylate was rejected by the Indian patent office.
The patent authority cited a legal provision in India's 2005 patent law aimed at preventing companies from getting fresh patents for making only minor changes to existing medicines — a practice known as "evergreening."
After reaching out to Muslims and women in Holy Week, pope celebrates solemn Easter Vigil
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis celebrated a trimmed back Easter Vigil service Saturday after having reached out to Muslims and women during a Holy Week in which he began to put his mark on the Catholic Church.
Francis processed into a darkened and silent St. Peter's Basilica at the start of the service, in which the faithful recall the period between Christ's crucifixion on Good Friday and resurrection on Easter Sunday.
One of the most dramatic moments of the Easter Vigil service that usually follows — when the pope would share the light of his candle with others until the entire basilica twinkled — was shortened this year as were some of the Old Testament readings.
The Vatican has said these provisions were in keeping with Francis' aim to not have his Masses go on too long. The Easter Vigil service under Benedict XVI would typically run nearly three hours. The new pope has made clear he prefers his Masses short and to the point: he was even caught checking his watch during his March 19 installation ceremony. Saturday was no different: The vigil ended just shy of 2.5 hours.
A trimmed-back vigil — and one that started earlier than usual — was just one of the novelties of this Holy Week under an Argentine Jesuit pope who just two weeks ago stunned the world by emerging from the loggia of St. Peter's Basilica after his election with a simple "Brothers and sisters, good evening."
AP PHOTOS: Easter celebrations around the world
In his Easter Vigil homily at St. Peter's Basilica, Pope Francis kept his message simple and tied to the liturgical readings. "Let the risen Jesus enter your life, welcome him as a friend, with trust: he is life!" Just a few hours after the vigil ends, Francis on Sunday will celebrate his first Easter Mass as pontiff and deliver his "Urbi et Orbi" speech, Latin for "To the city and the world."
Here are scenes from Easter celebrations at the Vatican and across the world.
Patients of Oklahoma oral surgeon line up outside clinic to get tested for HIV, hepatitis
TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Hundreds of patients of an Oklahoma oral surgeon accused of unsanitary practices showed up at a health clinic Saturday, looking to find out whether they were exposed to hepatitis or the virus that causes AIDS.
Letters began going out Friday to 7,000 patients who had seen Dr. W. Scott Harrington during the past six years, warning them that poor hygiene at his clinics created a public health hazard. The one-page letter said how and where to seek treatment but couldn't explain why Harrington's allegedly unsafe practices went on for so long.
Testing for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and the virus that causes AIDS began at 10 a.m. Saturday, but many arrived early and stood through torrential downpours. The Tulsa Health Department said 420 people were tested Saturday at its North Regional Health and Wellness Center. Screenings resume Monday morning.
Kari Childress, 38, showed up at 8:30 a.m., mainly because she was nervous.
"I just hope I don't have anything," said Childress, who had a tooth extracted at one of Harrington's two clinics five months ago. "You trust and believe in doctors to follow the rules, and that's the scariest part."
5 members of Calif. family killed in Nevada crash; teen driver arrested on suspicion of DUI
Five members of a Southern California family were killed Saturday when their van was rear-ended by an 18-year-old driver who was later arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, authorities said.
The dead were among seven family members who were in the van, authorities said. The other two — the 40-year-old female driver and a 15-year-old boy — were hospitalized in critical condition.
Jean Soriano of California was booked into the Clark County Detention Center after he was treated and released at University Medical Center in Las Vegas, Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Loy Hixson said.
The crash happened at about 3 a.m. on Interstate 15 near the Utah line. Soriano's sport utility vehicle struck the van from behind, causing both vehicles to spin out of control and roll near Mesquite, some 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas, investigators said.
A 23-year-old passenger in Soriano's SUV was treated at the hospital and released.
Transient with long criminal history is suspect in kidnapping of 10-year-old girl in LA
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Investigators are seeking a transient who has a long criminal record in the kidnapping of a 10-year-old who was snatched from her San Fernando Valley home before dawn last week and abandoned hours later in front of a hospital, police said.
Tobias Dustin Summers, 30, was identified by police Saturday as a suspect in the case but they couldn't elaborate on the motive or what led them to him. Police don't know if the girl was targeted but said they don't believe Summers had a connection to her family.
"We have no information that the family knew this individual or that the individual knew any members of the family," Los Angeles Police Deputy Chief Kirk Albanese said.
About 40 detectives have been working around the clock looking for clues since the girl was abducted from her home Wednesday. She was found hours later, wandering near a Starbucks several miles away.
The girl was barefoot, had bruises and scratches, and wasn't wearing the same clothes she had on when she vanished. She told the police two men she didn't recognize had taken her from her home.

The Old Dominion University Film and Video Festival is joining with the Virginia Arts Festival to present a special screening of "Guantanamera" at 7 p.m. Nov. 13 in room 104 of the Batten Arts and Letters Building.
The film by Tomas Gutierrez Alea and Juan Carlos Tabio will be presented in conjunction with the Virginia Arts Festival's presentation of the Nacional Ballet de Cuba. Admission to the screening is free and open to the public.
"Guantanamera" (1994) is a satirical look at life in Cuba with the mingling of stories of members in a funeral procession and a group of truck drivers headed to Havana, exploring love, sex and the fading hope of a revolution. This is the final film by Cuban maestro Alea, who also directed such post-revolution classics as "Memories of Underdevelopment" and "Strawberry and Chocolate."
The screening will serves as a sneak preview of Old Dominion University's fifth annual Film and Video Festival which will be held April 7-12, 2002. With a theme of "Visions of Peace and War," the festival will feature filmmakers, industry insiders and scholars who will explore some of these visions through presentation and analysis of more than 25 commercial blockbusters, independent and foreign films, television programs and documentaries.

The Woodford Sun
The Madison Southern girls' soccer season came to an end at the hands of Woodford County High School in the first round of the 11th Region Girls' Soccer tournament on Monday night at Community Stadium in Versailles.
In a closely fought contest, the Yellow Jackets defeated the Lady Eagles 1-0 to end their season with a 17-4 overall record.
Meanwhile, Woodford County advanced to the 11th Region semifinals on Thursday with a 12-4-4 overall record. They the will face Tates Creek game at 6 p.m. at Community Stadium.
Tates Creek defeated Scott County, 4-1, in the second game of the region tournament at Community Stadium on Monday.
The game between Madison Southern and Woodford was a close all the way through. In the first half, both sides played solid defense and kept each other in check, mostly at midfield. Still, even with the tight defensive play, both teams did manage a few scoring opportunities.
For Madison Southern, its opportunities came during the middle of the half. On one play, sophomore Rachel Ramey hit a corner kick towards the front of the goal, but the Lady Eagles could not make a play out of it.
Then, a little later, sophomore Annie Ware got open for a shot, but it was thwarted by Woodford junior goalkeeper Stella Adams.
For the Lady Jackets, they had one opportunity early in the half, and then two more chances late in the half. All three times, they were stopped by Madison Southern's sophomore goalkeeper Kristyn Murphy, who played an outstanding game in net .
"I think Kristyn Murphy did a great job," Madison Southern coach Katy Cress said. "She's played great all season for us. It's just something we've come to expect from her."
With the solid play of both defenses, it was no surprise to find the score tied 0-0 as the two teams headed into the locker room at the half.
In the second half, Woodford came out quickly and tried to take control of the game. Once again, the Lady Eagles' defense kept them contained, but their offense just could not find an opening, as the Lady Jackets kept them in check.
"I don't think we came ready to play the second half," Cress said. "I think we were flat-footed. We weren't making the runs. We weren't possessing the ball the way we did in the first half, and they took it to us. We stood there and watched them."
It was at the 24:56 mark that Woodford finally found a crack in the Madison Southern defense and took advantage of it. On the play, Woodford senior L.J .Phelps threaded a pass over to junior Libby Wilhoit, who was running down the field.
Wilhoit received the pass without having to break stride and continued her charge down the middle of the field towards the Lady Eagles' goal, with two defenders catching up to her fast.
Then, right before one of the Madison Southern defenders could catch up to her, Wilhoit kicked the ball right past Murphy's outstretched hands and into the goal to give Woodford a 1-0 lead.
"During halftime, we just talked about how we should stay composed on the breakaways," Woodford's first-year head coach Nicole Markert said. "And, L.J. (Phelps) found Libby (Wilhoit) on a great through ball, and Libby stayed composed and found the front of the net."
All season long, when the Yellow Jackets had a lead in the second half, they've been able to control the ball and keep the other team from getting any scoring opportunities, which is exactly what they tried to do against the Lady Eagles.
For the most part, Woodford was able to do just that for the rest of the game. However, even with the Lady Jackets' strong defensive play Madison Southern did not quit and they worked hard to get a few more scoring opportunities in the game.
With 8:55 in the game, the Lady Eagles found themselves in the Woodford end of the field and had a chance for a shot, but the Lady Jacket defense put a halt to the attack. Then, just a short while later at the 8:10 mark, Madison Southern got another corner kick opportunity. Once again, Ramey took the corner kick, but it did not make it to the front of the net and the Lady Jackets broke up the play.
While both teams tried to press for a scoring opportunity down the stretch, neither team could find the back of the net.

When I was raising hell a few short months ago about getting armor for vehicles in Iraq, I heard a lot of "they're doing the best they can" and various other excuses for not getting the job done. I also took a lot of crap for not "understanding" how the system works although that was news to me after 28 years in the system.
The military has now announced that all vehicles that need to be uparmored have been uparmored, which is wonderful news. But sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. Please look carefully at this one:
Notice right above the armored window. Most likely the effects of an RPG. This picture is of 18th MP Brigade gunner SPC Casey Cooper from a story I highlighted here. He was in that vehicle. There was enough armor on the HUMVEE to deflect the killing effect of the round or the young warrior standing there posing beside it with a slight head wound wouldn't be standing there right now.
He is what it was all about. And seeing him standing there is worth every word written and every bit of hell raised.
You know, McQ, you're being a little harsh with those of us who attempted to reason with you about uparmoring HUMVEEs. I don't think that anyone that I saw comment was opposed to providing armor protection for HUMVEEs. They were merely pointing out that there are reasons that HUMVEEs did not arrive in-theater already armored, and that there are other reasons that it takes time to change that.
It is pointless to expect Rummy, or anybody else at that level, to have 20/20 foresight about all of the conditions to be encountered in a new war, in a new theater, with new and different players. (If you can find someone who can predict the future, perhaps you should put him to work on the stockmarket and become rich.) Bureaucracies, any and all bureaucracies, are always focussed more on process than on product. Bureaucratic processes take time, even with the best will in the world. The fact that Rummy has been as successful as he has in getting the services to play better together, and to move as fast as they have, is something that earns him very high marks in my book. I'm glad that the process worked out for this young man, and I wish it could have been successful for some who went before.
The old competition between armaments and armor will go on for as long as there are wars, and somebody is always going to end up on the short end of the stick. Eventually you reach a point of diminishing returns and have to figure out how to end run around the problem. Then you start all over again.
As I said, Mark, "deflect". Look at the the hit. It was
probably at an angle and it was armored up enough to deflect the hit
and blast. Go in with a regular Humvee and there's a good
probability it blows right through it.

Thread: Gas milage cant be this bad
Gas milage cant be this bad
Hey I'm starting to think I may have a gas leak in the Silverado even though I don't smell gas I have gone 67 miles on a little less than half tank & I'm driving normal I used to be pushing 140 at this point. I also keep parked on level ground so not the gas sitting on one end of the tank. A few times I let it get down to 1/4 left & in no time it was on E with the gas light on. I am doing everything as normal used to be able to get about 2 weeks of driving on 3 1/4 tank now not so much. Any ideas on what I can check?2007 Silverado RS, 4.8 V8, 2WD

To be truefull, you are going to need a little more percise info before we can help.
If your truck does not have a DIC, you'll need to check the mileage the old fashion way. Fill it, record the mileage, drive until you are around the 1/2, or lower point, refill, record the gallons to fill and the current mileage.
Use the miles driven and the gallons consumed to calculated the mpg. It may not be as bad as you think.
If it is bad, maybe new O2 sensors will help, more air in tires, tire alignment, etc. may helpRay

The Gurdwara Dasmesh Darbar on Elk Grove Florin Road was the home temple for the two elderly Sikh men who were . This was the compound they came to pray, to socialize, to be among their fellow Sikhs on a day-to-day basis. It is now the site where the week-long mourning for 65-year old Surinder Singh will take place. Mr. Singh and his companion, 78 year old Gurmej Atwal, were shot by an in broad daylight while they were out for their regular afternoon walk together. Mr. Atwal survived the shooting, but remains in critical condition in the hospital.
Gurdwara, the Punjabi term for Gateway to the Guru, function as both temple and community center for Sikhs whereever they live. It is that latter purpose that is of particular importance to Elk Grove's Sikhs as they come together this week not only to mourn, but to find ways to increase understanding and acceptance among their fellow Elk Grovians. While the has , the Sikh community feels it is.
Darshan Singh Mundy, who is the leader of our local gurdwara, Damesh Darbar, talks of the hostility the Sikh community has endured since 9/11. Despite the fact that Sikhs have given of their time and money to the same causes that evoked the charitable instincts of all Americans--9/11, the tsunami, the Haitian earthquake--the community is not, Mr. Mundy feels, accepted as full-fledged members. "We love America," he said. "We consider ourselves part of the community. Yet because we wear the turban, people think we are Muslim and they make negative remarks to us."
The ignorance and misinformation about the Sikh community is not confined to mistaking them for Muslims. Mr. Mundy tells of speaking at a training class for police officers and being asked whether his people are panhandlers and fortunetellers. They are not. The first Sikhs to emigrate to California were farmers who emigrated to the Sacramento Valley from India. Initially, they settled in Yuba City, and that is still where the largest Sikh community in the United States is.
Now, as they have moved into other parts of the Central Valley Sikhs can be found in all professions. Elk Grove has a relatively large community of Sikhs that is just now getting organized. The gurdwara where Mr. Singh and Mr. Atwal were active members is still very much a work-in-progress. While the buildings may not be as grand or as ornate as the finished gurdwaras in Sacramento and San Jose, the Sikh hospitality is there in full force.
The Gurdwara Dasmesh Darbar is, says Mr. Mundy, "for everyone, not just Sikhs. We have four doors, each facing east, west, north, and south, that are always open. Anyone can come in and have a simple meal with us."

The page intends to provide information on open source software and data made available to the community by ESSP lab.
The SPINE Project aims at providing developers with software instruments for rapid prototyping of BSN-based applications by offering great flexibility in the implementation of distributed signal processing algorithms for the analysis and classification of sensor data. In particular, two main versions of the SPINE programming framework (SPINE1.x and SPINE2) have been released, both developed as Open Source projects (based on the LGPL licence) to establish a broad community of users and developers that contribute to extend the frameworks with new capabilities and applications.
- SPINE1.x is being developed since 2008 and it has been adopted in several WBSN applications. Implemented for supporting different sensor architectures based on the TinyOS environment, its programming model is mainly based on functions and signal features extraction.
- SPINE2 has been conceived and developed for reaching a high platform-independency by rising the level of the provided programming abstractions from platform-specific to platform-independent, and thus supporting different C-like programmable sensor architectures. Moreover, SPINE2 offers a new programming abstraction based on a task-oriented paradigm so that distributed and collaborative applications can be programmed as a dynamically schedulable and reconfigurable set of tasks to be instantiated on the sensor nodes.
