I found a pretty sweet forum entry about the lag time that Outlook web access has over on Spiceworks.
The newest TechNet Flash came to me today, and it announced:
"Try out the next release of Windows Server, for scalable, dynamic, multitenant-aware, cloud-optimized infrastructure."
Once upon a time, Wednesday meant going out for a beer with friends. It's a tradition that I really should re-visit. It was really nice to have a little bit of a celebration for hump day.
The handy picture is above, but the error is "Problem with the Blog Server", "Server Error 1 Occurred".
In my case, I was trying to post to a Drupal Blog.
Well, you know it's coming, 2012 is almost here. How about a Happy New Year wallpaper?
Here we are again, it's Wallpaper Wednesday, and I haven't posted anything since the last Wallpaper Wednesday. I guess it's better than not even posting some new wallpaper once in awhile, right?

Krause Gets 'Lost' With Sci Fi
Channel also developing show with Burnett
Krause, a three-time Emmy nominee (including this year) for playing Nate Fisher on the HBO series, will star in Sci Fi's "The Lost Room," the network announced Thursday. The casting of Krause headlines a roster of development news that also includes a scripted series from "Survivor" creator Mark Burnett and a green light for the comic-book adaptation "Painkiller Jane."
"The Lost Room" centers on a detective (Krause) who comes into possession of a motel-room key that unlocks the door to a weird parallel world. The room contains a bunch of seemingly ordinary objects that each have a unique power -- and the key is the most powerful object of all.
The detective also becomes a suspect when his daughter (Elle Fanning) disappears while in the motel room.
The miniseries begins filming next week in Albuquerque, N.M. It's scheduled to air in December.
Also Thursday, Sci Fi announced it's developing a series called "Devil's Advocate," about a theology professor who researches bizarre events to see if they can be explained by physical laws or whether otherworldly forces are at work.
Burnett's two previous tries at scripted shows, both for The WB, never made it to air. A drama called "Global Frequency" didn't make it past the pilot stage, while the sitcom "Commando Nanny" was picked up in 2004 but never aired.
Also on tap for the cable network are "Painkiller Jane," which is based on a comic book by Jimmy Palmiotti and Joe Quesada and will premiere in January; "Outpost," a miniseries about a group of privately funded space explorers; and "Witch Doctor," a series about -- you guessed it -- a witch doctor from "The Tick" and "Angel" writer-producer Ben Edlund.

Rob Houwing, Sport24 chief writer
In waving goodbye to any remaining title hopes in the maiden Castle Rugby Championship, the Boks will be left scratching their heads about this reverse to an All Blacks side who performed below potential and were largely out-muscled up front.
It was behind the scrum, no question, where South Africa only had their fans tearing hair out, with Heyneke Meyer's obsession with a gormless, all too often poorly-executed kicking game proving glaringly costly and Morne Steyn misfiring badly again at his supposed core strength of place-kicking.
How the Boks rated:
Zane Kirchner 4.5
Aaargh! Still such an obvious impediment to Bok backline zing. One-dimensional, and part of a spectacular butchering of an early try opportunity out wide with imperfect pass to flying Bryan Habana.
Bryan Habana 6
Slightly fumbly night at the office; made some errors despite eternal willingness to work hard for the cause. But rating rises to six on strength of welcome, brilliantly-executed virtuoso try, and good kick chasing.
Jean de Villiers 4.5
Worryingly, a second sub-standard Test in Australasia on the trot for the Bok captain. Some defensive mettle, but also ropey passing and perhaps not enough vigorous engagement with referee when All Blacks consistently infringed in certain departments.
Frans Steyn 6.5
Early tendency to seek heavy traffic with ball in hand, rather than try to skirt it, but also came more and more into his own – especially when Johan Goosen belatedly started pulling flyhalf strings. Fearless competitor, as usual.
Francois Hougaard 6
Started the opportunistic, breakout move which really should have led to Boks crossing the whitewash as swiftly as fourth minute. Tenacious in defence and would have revelled, no doubt, in more space.
Morne Steyn 4
Coach Meyer's loyalty to the increasingly out-of-sorts Bulls man just gets more and more inexplicable. If he can't even kick his goals, what else is he really offering? He's got to go ... but will he?
Ruan Pienaar 5
Considering the healthy forward momentum at times, here was a chance for the scrumhalf to put his stamp on a game. In short, he didn't.
Duane Vermeulen 6.5
Very much improved second cap for the No 8, clearly regaining confidence and stamina after his long-term injury. Sturdily withstood monster hit from rival Kieran Read when not properly protected in fielding a kick-off.
Willem Alberts 6.5
Where he had been too sporadic in involvement against the Wallabies last week, the brawny blindsider lifted his game here. Set nice early tone for collective Bok pack intentions with thunderous hit on Conrad Smith.
Francois Louw 7
Did get pinged a couple of times, but that is a fetcher's lot in life. In some ways it only illustrated how effective and full-blooded he was at slowing the All Black game. And was that his offload to spark the Habana bust-out and try? No disgrace that direct opponent Richie McCaw was possibly even better!
Juandre Kruger 6
OK, just sneaks a six. Didn't quite manage to be a Matfield-type nuisance to these particular foes at lineout time, but did other basics well enough amidst broadly determined Bok forward unit.
Flip van der Merwe 7
Best start in a Springbok jersey? The big No 4 was a model of sustained industry and constructive aggression. Couple of decent lineout takes as well.
Jannie du Plessis 6.5
Just how much did he have to bite the bullet, considering the fears over his hamstring holding up? Wasn't going to take a backward step, nevertheless. Back closer to best.
Adriaan Strauss 7
That blond head was eternally visible; seems to be warming to No 2 shirt while Bismarck du Plessis starts his slow rehab quest. Slight impediment was Boks losing at least three lineout balls on own throw-in, though you can't always blame the hooker.
Tendai Mtawarira 6.5
So much more dynamic and industrious than in Perth, as I'd predicted. His dubious substitution as swiftly as 50th minute only led to Dean Greyling's nightmare, costly appearance (see below).
Substitutes on long enough to be rated:
Dean Greyling 2
Some will spit 'where did you find the two from?' -- did contribute to one menacing scrum. Otherwise, penalty-haemorrhaging, hot-headed (and untimely yellow-carded) liability on the night!
Andries Bekker 6.5
Welcome, prominent display off the bench, all-round. Perhaps might have replaced Kruger earlier than 53rd minute, as he beefed hitherto imperfect Bok lineout.
Marcell Coetzee 6.5
Eighteen minutes of restless energy and committed, back-tracking tackles after replacing Alberts.
Johan Goosen 6.5
Perhaps anti-Steyn brigade gush a tad too much about his every move, but at the same time you can see the kid is special. Tempo picked up noticeably with him on from 59th minute, and kicked fine, angled penalty.

Black Snow Coop Server Files
Mar 31, 2013 Server 11 commentsBlack Snow Coop v1.2.0 Server Files + Fixes, Read more for update log.
7 comments by Pretador on Sep 15th, 2013
I do apologize for another disappointing delay, release date's can be quite unpredictable from time to time, thinking back I even thought I'd have this released in December last year, if that's not an epic fail you tell me...
However I'm certain it will be fully released sometime this September, we're getting very close!
Still some parts tend to draw more time than expected.
The last beta test will be ready today or tomorrow, more participants are welcome!
As well a new teaser has been made to keep you all excited, check it out now! :)
Until then, stay patient! And again thanks to all the followers, it means a lot!
Black Snow Coop v1.2.0 Server Files + Fixes, Read more for update log.
Black Snow Coop v1.2.0 features great fixes, extended gameplay, new ending, new intro, more fun! And even better, you can experience all this with three...
After 2 weeks of hard and intense work its finally here! Black Snow Coop aka Operation Black Snow v1.0.0 is released! For more info, click on Read More!
Your missing either HL2:EP2 or just HL2
Alright the patch is awaiting authorization. I've also uploaded it here: Piranesi.aowc.net if you don't wish to wait until it has been authorized! Have fun! Check news for update log.
Wait, do you guys have anything to do with Moddb.com ? Or are you unrelated and just decided to change up their mod?
We're not related to the original mod, as this is coop and not sp. But the content is related and built by MONOTHETIC studio. I've just ported it to coop coding. And added a few things. :3
Yeah....so intro ain't working, the "int" map spawns people like at the half of the game....boy do you have some work to do...
It's called dynamic spawn and it keeps the group together so that people won't get lost.
I'll release a small fix that will eliminate these bugs :
- The Character Menu pops up every time someone joins the game.
- Char Menu complains about "CLASS FULL" and gives you a temp Class without flashlight, etc...
- Cam mode swap, now you change between first & thirdperson by rotating the mouse wheel forward for firstperson and backwards for thirdperson. The same like weapon selection.
I hope this will improve the enjoyment slightly more. Sorry for not noticing these bugs earlier! >.<
Yes, if you want a SS I can give you that too. ^^
Lowest Rated (12 agree) 1/10
This mod is created by the genius creators of "Battle-Force" and "The Forgotten Ones". These are also the same mods that use up tons of space for no specific reason, such as unused models and textures.
If you want to play BLACK SNOW, don't play it like this. The playermodels are all ripped off of various websites/games, and the game isn't even good with more than 1 person. Experience the original mod, not this.

EXTRA TIP: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WINE RATINGSThey're not gospel, and they're biased. Tasters evaluate wines based on such factors as color, aroma, flavor, finish, and overall quality. For fair, sharp, and conservative ratings, turn to Stephen Tanzer. His tasting notes are some of the most insightful and interesting in the world. If you prefer wines like Chambolle Musigny and Puligny Montrachet from Burgundy, Allen Meadows is your go-to guy. And Robert Parker, a famous critic, is incredibly consistent. He favors luscious wines, such as Bordeaux, Rhone, and California varieties.

International ClassesH04M 011/00G06K 007/06 DescriptionThe disclosure of this application is related in subject matter to that of the following U.S. patent applications. Ser. No. 08/040,179 filed Mar. 26, 1993, by Kepley, III, et al. entitled "Wired Seat Back Aircraft Telephone Set"; and Ser. No. 08/040,178 filed Mar. 26, 1993, by Kepley, III, et al. entitled "Multi-Purpose Telephone Strain Relief," which are assigned to the assignee of this application. The disclosures of these applications are incorporated herein by reference. DESCRIPTION BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to an improved reader for magnetic-strip cards, particularly credit cards. More particularly, the invention relates to an improved head support to provide a compact reader installed in a telephone handset. 2. Description of the Prior Art As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, in a typical magnetic-strip card reader, the card is inserted into a narrow gap that guides the card as it is moved past a resiliently mounted transducing head. In order to ensure any movement of the head is perpendicular to the strip, typical prior art head-support systems extend from the headset in both directions along the guide path. Such prior art head-support systems, while generally satisfactory, usually position the head at the midpoint of the guide path. This geometry often results in a long guide path and with the leading edge of the card used upon both entering and exiting the guide path. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of this invention is the provision of a compact card reader, one that will fit in an airborne telephone handset. Another object of this invention is the provision of a card reader in which the card is inserted in the guide in a direction transverse to the direction of reading motion. Still another object of this invention is the provision of a card reader in which the longitudinal distance the card travels in a read operation approximately equals to the length of the card. Briefly, this invention contemplates the provision of a card reader in which the transducer head is supported at one end of the guide path by a spring-loaded, pivoting arm. The spring is located adjacent the head and urges the head against the card as it passes under the head. The pivoted arm forces the head to follow a slightly arcuate path as it moves in a direction transverse to the card. With this head-support system, the guide path need only extend from approximately the pivot point of the arm to a point a short distance beyond the head and the card can be inserted laterally into the guide just behind the head. The card is read by moving the card longitudinally past the head a distance approximately equal to the length of the card so that it exits the guide just after it passes under the head. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The foregoing and other objects, aspects and advantages will be better understood from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention with reference to the drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is a side elevation of a head support in accordance with the teachings of this invention, with parts omitted and parts shown in section. FIG. 2 is a plan view of the reader shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is an exploded, perspective view (with parts broken away) of the reader shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 4 is an exploded view showing components of a handset. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Referring now to the drawings, a magnetic strip read head 10 of a suitable prior art design, is attached by a collar 12 to one end of a beam 14. The other end of the beam rests on the rounded top surface of a post 16 that is upstanding from a base member 18. A compression spring 20 mounted on a lug 22, is disposed between the beam 14 and a retaining E-ring 24 and urges a reading surface 25 of the head 10 through an opening 26 in plate member 18 and into contact with a plate member 28. A narrow gap 30 between the plate members 18 and 28 is equal in width to approximately the thickness of the card to be read by the head 10 so that the plate member 18 and 28 form, in combination, a card guide. It will be appreciated that in operation (as viewed in FIG. 1) a card to be read is inserted laterally into the gap 30 and then moved from right to left in a card-reading operation. A wall at the back of the gap (not shown) positions the strip in the card laterally with respect to the reading transducers in the head 10. A bracket 31 guides the beam 14 on the pivot 16 while at the same time allowing limited torsional movement of the head 10 relative to a card. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the distance "d" from the head to the pivot post 16 is approximately equal to the length of the card to be read. Referring now to FIG. 4, it shows the installation of the subassembly in a handset in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention. The major components of the handset comprise a front housing 34; conveniently a molded piece with openings 36 into a push-button switch, telephone key-pad array 38 fits, along with mounting brackets for the other components. An elastomeric retainer 52 fits in a bracket 54 in the handset housing. The retainer has a lip 56 that engages a tang on the ejector and prevents the handset from being ejected completely from the cradle. The components include a receiver 40, a subassembly 42 that combines strain relief attachment for the cord, a microphone housing, and hook switch housing. The handset further includes a key-pad module 48, an LCD display module 50, a speaker 54, a microprocessor and electronics module 55, the credit card reader 57, and a rear housing cover 56. While the invention has been described in terms of a single preferred embodiment, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. * * * * * |

Educating legislators on the benefits of general aviation and the effects of well-intentioned, but ill-advised tax proposals that would have hurt the aviation industry and state economies was a big part of advocacy efforts by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association in 2011. States introduced tax proposals targeting general aviation as a way to fix budget shortfalls that reached an estimated $41 billion in fiscal year 2011, AOPA officials note.

This service was exceptionally efficient and helpful. Key solutions really helped me out with finding the best pension provider for me. the process was dealt with in a very friendly but professional manner. Kim Wilson was exceptionally knowledgeable and I was able to feel that no matter what my query was, she knew the answer and was able to solve the problem. She kept me fully informed through out the process and it was a pleasure to complete forms! Everyone I spoke to on the phone was exceptionally helpful and helped to take away the headache out of the whole process. I would recommend this service to anyone who is going through the same minefield of finding the best pension for themselves without any hesitation.

He wears out shoes very fast which is good because thats what kids do when they play and have fun and glad he will have dry warm feet durring the winter rainy season which will help prevent him getting sick (colds and such).The only draw back is that they seem a little clunky and see that it's hard for him to run in (maybe the lowtop or shoe style would be different and will try this next time) but at the same time they are very very sturdy and have keeped up well with much abuse and still look new I might add after 3-4 weeks.Overall, I would highly recomend them and even got my 4 year old daughter a pair of low tops and she loves them too!

Great waterproof kids boot
By Tent Keeper
from Providence, RI
I bought these for my 8-year-old son in preparation for a 60-mile hike on the Appalachian Trail this summer. They performed splendidly. He developed a hotspot the first day, but only because he had tied them too loosely. After I showed him how they should be tied, no more problems. They kept his feet dry and comfortable, including a 9-mile day with 3,000 feet of vertical and a trip into watery Vermud that nearly overtopped the boots.
Great shoes

My son has loved these shoes. They were perfect for scout camp and comfortable out of the box.
Good pair of boots
By C Wolf
from Raleigh, NC
Although I am writing this review, my daughter was wearing the boots. She said they felt pretty comfortable when she tried them on at the store and she hiked in them for a week at camp a few days later. She reports they were comfortable and stayed dry through creek-hopping and a light rain. The soles of the boots are sturdy, good for rocks. She had no complaints about her feet after the hike. These are a good pair of boots!
Solid Boot at a Good Price for Kids

My girls (6 and 9) went to a tree climbing camp and had to have boots. They wore these all week with no complaints.
Great boot!
By Knight1i
from Chicago, IL
My son picked these out mainly because he loves the color orange. We bought them to be his recess shoes (he has recess in the woods where they tend to fall into the creek and catch frogs, not a good place for your every day sneaker), but he took them up to Wisconsin for a camping trip. He went full leg into water, and these dried right away. Since then he has worn them on rainy days and almost every day outside, and just loves them! The laces are a bit of a pain just because he's not used to having the hooks at top.

Awesome Boots for Adults with Small Feet
By Seattle22
from Seattle, WA
About Me Environmentalist
I'm a woman and have extremely small narrow feet. I can fit a size 4 youth, or woman's size 5 depending on the brand. I got these for going through different terrain for bird watching (dry, flat trails to very wet and muddy, trails at the edge of the water) in different conditions.The shoes are very light (though they look heavy) and fit great. I have to wear arch supports for my high arches, and with my arch supports placed in the shoes and with socks, it is comfortable and not tight at all. The laces aren't the best because they come undone quite easily so you have to tie your shoes very, very tight, but this might not be a problem with time and use.The box the shoes come in is great because it provides information on how to take care of the shoes (some examples: it gives info on how often to waterproof your shoes and it also clearly states to NOT wash your shoes in the washing machine).Overall, I am happy with these shoes and recommend these shoes to kids (they are comfortable, have ankle support, keep your feet warm, and there is sufficient space for thick hiking socks) or for adults with small feet!

Worth Every Penny
By Trail Dad
from Columbus, GA
Bought two pairs of these for my boys (3 & 6). They were perfect for our trip in Cumberland National Historic Park. On day two it poured all day on us, and when they boys took them off their feet were perfectly dry. They never complained about their feet hurting, and they'll be ready for some else to use them another season.

Kids grow fast
By Leader of the Pack
from MD
About Me Avid Adventurer
I bought these for my son, need I say more? He is in scouts and has worn them on every trip. His feet stay dry and he has never had any blisters or complained about having sore feet. Considering the cost and how fast kids grow, the boots are well worth the price. The only draw back is they get dirt quick, but not sure if manufactures have figured out how to make self-cleaning boots.

Software Review:
TPC Desktop 2010
Professional Surveyor Magazine -
July 2010
by Bruce Anderson
I have been using
Traverse PC
(TPC) since its inception in 1987, and for 30 years I have been a county surveyor and in private practice. I stopped using CAD programs because it seems like most CAD programs I'd used are designed by mathematicians and engineers for engineers and design professionals. TPC is designed by and for surveyors, and their methodology makes sense because it is from the surveyor's point of view. I rely entirely upon TPC to do my survey work and to prepare all my deliverables, such as drawings and reports.
COGO, closure, adjustments drawings, and file sharing are all there. Curves, right-of-way, least squares adjustments, GPS interface, including lat/lon, elevations, etc. are great. Everything I need in the drawing side of the program works well also. I do some GIS work, so exporting to .dxf, .shp, or .txt files is another plus. I also work with aerial photos, and bringing in images is very manageable.
TCP's latest release, TPC Desktop 2010, extends their core technologies that they call the Smart Survey System. I write about some of them in this review.
TPC has used
since it started in 1987. Views expose different parts of your survey, such as points, surfaces, and drawings. Once you learn the two or three views you use the most, you know the program— it's pretty simple.
Using views is the most efficient way to work with surveys. It is fundamentally different from CAD, where you manage everything through a drawing. Views makes TPC fun and easy to use while being powerful and intuitive. The software provides the tools that help you make the decisions you have to make on every survey.
TPC Desktop 2010 places all the menus and toolbars for a view right in the view itself. If you are working with multiple monitors and place a view in the second monitor, you don't have to switch back to the first monitor to find a tool. Views can even have their own status bars. Now you can stay focused on the view you are working with even though you may have many views open.
TPC Desktop 2010 also introduces
. These are views you use to manage parts of your survey that come in multiples. The drawings manager is a good example. It lists all the drawings in the survey (you can have as many as you want). Open the drawings manager to select a drawing to work on, duplicate an existing drawing, or add a new one.
Managers use a Windows feature called
. The traverse manager shown in
Figure 1
displays the traverse groups for control, easements, and details. The functionality of groups makes it very easy to organize complex surveys. Because I work on a township level, my groups consist of a GPS group, and then 36 groups, named S.1, S.2, S.3 ... S.36 for all of the sections in the township. You can modify or make any number of groups of your choosing, then hide or show just the groups that you need to work on.
The new
manager (
Figure 2
) is like Grand Central Station. It lists the most recent surveys, displays information about the current survey, and provides links to help topics, learning guides, and online videos. It provides immediate access to things you need.
Examples of this are the My Surveys folder that takes you to your primary survey location, and the Shared Surveys folder that takes you to a secondary location such as file server or VPN. Now you can work in the office, in the field, or at home and easily access the surveys you want.
The TPC Desktop manages the views. It has done this since the DOS days and has been adapted seamlessly to Windows. Everything you do in TPC is done inside the TPC Desktop. TPC Desktop 2010 extends the TPC Desktop with conventions such as docking, autohide, tabs, and embedded menus to help you work more efficiently with views. If you are working on a notebook with limited screen space, auto hiding views will maximize your work space. On a desktop computer with multiple monitors, docking and tabbing views will give you maximum access to your survey data. You'll actually enjoy arranging the TPC Desktop the way you want. Of course, you can also save your desktop layouts and switch between your favorites.
By the way, you won't find ribbon bars in TPC Desktop 2010 because they take up way too much space and can be difficult to figure out. What you will find are context menus that exactly match the embedded pull-down menus, making it easy to learn and use the program your way.
More Key Components
A key component of TPC's Smart Survey System, called
Quick View
, does away with the CAD paradigm entirely. Because drawings are a subset of the data (rather than the data becoming a side-effect of the drawing), drawings update automatically (almost magically) when you update your data. With Quick View, you decide which traverses and surfaces to include in a drawing, and there they are. Then use Quick View settings to get the text size, line types, symbols, and other properties you want. Apply the settings globally for the whole drawing, to just part of the drawing, or right down to an individual drawing object. You'll figure out pretty quickly that this isn't CAD.
The new
Drawing Data Manager
Figure 3
) lists every object in the drawing in a familiar tree structure. Drawing data is organized into branches for layers, traverses, blocks, raster images, surfaces, and fonts. Expand a branch to see all the layers, then expand the layer to see the objects on it.
Tag or untag any object to add or remove it from a drawing, or you can hide/unhide objects. Right click any item in the list and choose Properties to open that item for editing. Want to see
which symbols and fonts you used in a drawing? Just expand those branches and take a look.
If you are interested in TPC Desktop 2010, watch the online videos on Traverse PC's website. And if you get a copy, I can almost guarantee you will be working efficiently right out of the box—as long as you take off your CAD hat first.
If you have used Traverse PC before, you will be happy to know that TPC Desktop 2010 uses the same views as previous versions so you don't have to re-learn the software. Even the hot keys (such as F6 for Closure View) are the same.
When you call Traverse PC, you talk with a live person. And because they are surveyors themselves and very knowledgeable about the program, you get all the help you need. The folks at Traverse PC are committed to making their users successful with the program, and the learning guides, help files, online videos and online training give you all the tools you need to learn the software.
TPC Desktop 2010 comes in three editions, Personal, Premium, and Professional. You purchase the edition that has the features you need, and if you need more features, you just pay the price difference to upgrade to the next edition. I give TPC Desktop 2010 a hearty thumbs up!

Indy Racing Revolution:
IndyCar team owner signs Lights champion Tristan Vautier to form two-car lineup alongside Simon Pagenaud
You don't have to field a multi-car program to succeed in the IZOD IndyCar Series.
Sam Schmidt knows this, because his single-car effort last season managed to become Honda's No. 2 team behind the Chip Ganassi Racing juggernaut thanks to a fifth-place effort in the standings from its driver (and Rookie of the Year), Simon Pagenaud.
But Schmidt, a former IndyCar driver himself, had visions of expanding his operation for some time, and he believes it's the way for his team to go even further than it did in 2012.
"We kind of made a decision three or four months ago to really push hard and try to get to a two-car team, whether it be for data collection or chemistry or growing the organization -- any number of reasons," he said during an INDYCAR teleconference on Tuesday.
"It's becoming apparent if you're really going to compete w...

If you've ever thought of Facebook as a compilation of statistics that could possibly amount to one giant social experiment, you won't be surprised by the new data analyzed by Facebook's resident scientists, Jackson Gorham and Andrew T. Fiore that shows when users are most likely to find love.
MSNBC reports about the new data and what it might mean for your next status update. According to the data, it looks like Facebook users are luckiest in love during Valentines Day and Christmas when most report entering into a new relationship.
And summer love may just be a fairytale we hear about in books and movies. According to Facebook data, the summer months are the worst for break-up across the board in every age group.
The scientists also took into account the days of the week when analyzing the romantic habits of users. It turns out that Sunday, Monday and Tuesday are your biggest chance for finding new love during the week.

Two games in two nights against a pesky New Jersey Devils team and the Capitals have three points out of a possible four to show for it. Here are a few observations from the second leg of the home-and-home series, a 3-2 shootout loss at Verizon Center on Saturday night:
Oates beats Caps
Adam Oates won countless games for the Caps during his NHL career. But he helped take a point away from Washington Saturday night by looking David Clarkson's way during the shootout.
"I can't take credit for that [choice]," New Jersey coach Peter DeBoer said. "Adam Oates was the guy. We were choosing between [Petr] Sykora and Clarky, and Adam picked Clarky and he was right on."
Clarkson scored the shootout winner in round 4 to wrap up what DeBoer called a "gutsy" win for the Devils.
Matt Hendricks, Alex Ovechkin, Alexander Semin and Nicklas Backstrom went for the Caps, and Ovechkin was the only one to beat Johan Hedberg. Zach Parise also scored for the Devils.
And, in case you're feeling nostalgic, Oates had 363 career points with the Caps. Carry on.
Glass half full?
The Caps lost defenseman Roman Hamrlik in the second period with an undisclosed injury suffered on what coach Bruce Boudreau said was a cross check. Friday night, Mike Green left with a lower-body injury in the first.
So for the second time in two nights the Caps finished with five defensemen – so are they happy to emerge with this result?
"It's a double-edged sword," Boudreau said. "Will you take a point? Yes. When you have a 2-0 lead, will you take a point? No."
The blown lead happened on what the coach called mistakes. More on that Sunday, but it was tough to blame goalie Michal Neuvirth, for sure.
Playing time for $1000, Alex
Some numbers jumped off the sheet Saturday, most notably ice time.
Dennis Wideman: 33:52
John Carlson: 26:50
Cody Eakin: 5:11
Mathieu Perreault: 5:16
For the defensemen, Hamrlik's injury played a role in big minutes. Wideman seemed surprised when informed that he played so much Saturday - after over 27 minutes Friday.
"Oh really?" he said. "I was starting to get a little tuckered by the end. But when stuff like that happens, when there's injuries you've just got to try to not push it too much, try not to get out of position, try not to get caught too much and conserve where you can."
Boudreau's explanation for Eakin and Perreault was that he shortened the bench.
For what it's worth, the Hershey Bears play a game at 5 p.m. Sunday. Don't be shocked if Eakin is in Hershey's lineup after playing a combined 12:18 in two games. The 20-year-old could use ice time for development and does not need to clear waivers to go up and down from the NHL to the American Hockey League

Blown in the Wind August 16, 2010
By Robert Bryce
They like everything big in Texas, and wind energy is no exception. Texas has more wind generation capacity than any other state, about 9,700 megawatts. (Thats nearly as much installed wind capacity as India.) Texas residential ratepayers are now paying about $4 more per month on their electric bills in order to fund some 2,300 miles of new transmission lines to carry wind-generated electricity from rural areas to the states urban centers.
Its time for those customers to ask for a refund. The reason: When it gets hot in Texasand its darn hot in the Lone Star State in the summerthe states ratepayers cant count on that wind energy. On Aug. 4, at about 5 p.m., electricity demand in Texas hit a record: 63,594 megawatts. But according to the states grid operator, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, the states wind turbines provided only about 500 megawatts of power when demand was peaking and the value of electricity was at its highest.
Put another way, only about 5 percent of the states installed wind capacity was available when Texans needed it most. Texans may brag about the size of their wind sector, but for all of that hot air, the wind business could only provide about 0.8 percent of the states electricity needs when demand was peaking.
Why does Texas get so little juice from the wind when it really needs it? Well, one of the reasons Texas gets so hot in the summer is that the wind isnt blowing. Pressure gradientsdifferences in air pressure between two locations in the atmosphereare largely responsible for the speed of the wind near the Earths surface. The greater the differences in pressure, the harder the wind blows. During times of extreme heat these pressure gradients often are minimal. The result: wind turbines that dont turn. Advertisement
Lest you think the generation numbers from Aug. 4 are an aberration, ERCOT has long discounted wind energys capabilities. In 2007, ERCOT determined that just "8.7 percent of the installed wind capability can be counted on as dependable capacity during the peak demand period for the next year." And in 2009, the grid operator reiterated that it could depend on only 8.7 percent of Texas wind capacity.
The incurable variability of wind is not restricted to Texas. Consider the problems with wind energy during the frigid weather that hit Britain last winter. In January, the Daily Telegraph reported that the cold weather was accompanied by "a lack of wind, which meant that only 0.2 [percent] of a possible 5 [percent] of the UKs" electricity was generated by wind over the preceding few days.
Understanding winds unreliability is critically important now, at a time when Americas basic infrastructure is crumbling and in desperate need of new investment. In June, the Government Accountability Office issued a report that said that "communities will need hundreds of billions of dollars in coming years to construct and upgrade wastewater infrastructure." Add in the need for new spending on roads, dams, bridges, pipelines, and mass transit systems, and it quickly becomes clear that politicians infatuation with wind energy is diverting money away from projects that are more deserving and far more important to the general public.
Imagine a company proposed to construct a bridge in Minneapolis, or some other major city, that would cost, say, $250 million. The road would be designed to carry thousands of cars per day. But theres a catch: During rush hour, the thoroughfare would effectively be closed, with only 5 percent, or maybe 10 percent, of its capacity available to motorists. Were this scenario to actually occur, the public outrage would be quick and ferocious.
Thats exactly the issue we are facing with wind energy. The reality is that towering wind turbinesfor all their allure to certain political groupsare simply supernumeraries in our sprawling electricity delivery system. They do not, cannot, replace coal-fired, gas-fired, or (my personal favorite) nuclear power plants.
Despite these facts, wind-energy lobbyists have been wildly successful at convincing the public andmore importantlypoliticians, that wind energy is the way of the future. More than 30 states now have rules that will require dramatic increases in renewable electricity production over the coming years. And wind must provide most of that production, since its the only renewable source that can rapidly scale up to meet the requirements of the mandate.
The problems posed by the intermittency of wind could quickly be cured if only we had an ultra-cheap method of storing large quantities of energy. If only. The problem of large-scale energy storage has bedeviled inventors for centuries. Even the best modern batteries are too bulky, too expensive, and too finicky. Other solutions for energy storage like compressed-air energy storage and pumped water storage are viable, but like batteries, those technologies are expensive. And even if the cost of energy storage falls dramaticallythereby making wind energy truly viablewho will pay for it?
Wind power. Click image to expand.Wind turbinesAn unbiased analysis of wind energys high costs and flaccid contribution to our electricity needs is essential in this time of economic constraint. Despite the dismal economic news, despite the fact that the wind-energy sector, through the $0.022 per-kilowatt-hour production tax credit, gets subsidies of about $6.40 per million Btu of energy producedan amount that, according to the Energy Information Administration, is about 200 times the subsidy received by the oil and gas sectorwind-energy lobbyists are calling for yet more mandates. On July 27, the American Wind Energy Association issued a press release urging a federal mandate for renewable electricity and lamenting the fact that new wind-energy installations had fallen dramatically during the second quarter compared to 2008 and 2009. The lobby groups CEO, Denise Bode, declared that the "U.S. wind industry is in distress."
Good. Glad to hear it. Its high time we quit blowing so much money on the wind.

Catholic World News News Feature
Swedish minister jailed for "anti-gay" speech July 06, 2004
The Rev. Ake Green, the pastor of a Swedish Pentecostal church in Kalmar, Sweden, has been sentenced to one month in prison for inciting hatred against homosexuals. Green was prosecuted in January for "hate speech against homosexuals" for a sermon he preached last summer citing Biblical references to homosexuality.
Sweden has a "hate crimes" law that forbids criticism of homosexuality. According to the church newspaper Kyrkans Tidning , the prosecutor in the case, Kjell Yngvesson, justifies the arrest of Green: "One may have whatever religion one wishes, but this is an attack on all fronts against homosexuals. Collecting Bible citations on this topic as he (Green) does makes this hate speech."
