Grade 'Em: Brian Rafalski
I believe that we've hit all of the Free Agents, so let's turn to the guy who is still the second highest paid defensemen on Detroit...even after Lidstrom's discount.
I actually heard some grumbles about Brian Raflaski this season...I thought everyone was like me. I love the guy. He's a Michigan native who came in after Matthieu Schneider ditched us for Anaheim and had 104 points in his first two seasons as a Red Wing. Before you go off on the "he's not worth $6 million" thing...let's take a look at all the other NHL D-men who made as much or more than Raff this year according to USA today...
So when you look at his stats this year...
...you'll see that even though his numbers dropped off this year (just like everyone else on Detroit), the number of defensemen that had more production AND got paid more: 4 out of 10 (Chara, Lidstrom, Visnovsky, and Pronger). So I think it's fair to say that we're getting our money's worth out of Rafalski.
What I expected: 10 G 50 A 60 Pts
What we got: 8 G 34 A 42 Pts
Now...having made that big financial case for Raffi, I can't argue that he didn't live up to my pre-season expectations. But then again, who did on this team? I think the big problem with Rafalski is that he played his best hockey this year while not wearing the Winged Wheel. He dominated in Vancouver and we all expected to see that version of him down the stretch for Detroit. With that said - the Olympics is a different game and it's probably not fair to judge Raffi based on what he did at an international tournament. He did add 11 points in 12 play-off games this year...which is pretty damn good.
Overall Grade: B-
I say that he was only slight below my expectations, taking all the craziness of this season into consideration. Let's see what Rafalski can do with a healthy team all season next year. He's worth $6 million, people...so please don't go there.

Laptop Battery Repair
- First of all it is recommended to consult the internet to know what kind of battery could be repaired. But one needs to know a battery which is apt to leak should not be repaired, as it could be unsafe. But most batteries have the complex construction and therefore cannot be repaired at all. Some batteries can, but for that one should have specific tools. It is much cheaper and more wisely to buy a new one
Notebook Battery Removal
- Sometimes a damaged battery just needs a little calibration. Such work can be done in local laptop repair shops. But if a battery is really damaged, one should better throw it out to save money and nerves. Therefore one should be aware of the type of the battery when he is going to have repaired, or firstly to check the possibility of such repair in a store before buying
- But one must remember a laptop battery is one of the most important parts in a unit, and taking care of it is the quite rational thing
Extending Battery Power
- Whenever you are using your laptop near a power source, use the A/C adaptor. However, sometimes you will be forced to use your laptop with no access to a wall outlet, and the battery will run low. Here are three things you can do to extend the remaining power in the battery
- First, if your laptop processor features a power-save mode, switch over to power-save mode. This will slow the laptop by up to 50%, doubling battery life for that time period
- Second, turn off extraneous energy-sucking elements. The major power vampires in your laptop are the hard drive, the CD and DVD drives, any networking devices, and any excessively bright screen settings
- Third, you can double overall battery capacity by installing a second battery. Your laptop must have a universal bay in order to do this. All you have to do is remove the CD-ROM or floppy drive and put a battery in its place
Package Included:
- 1 x Replacement 10.8V 4400mAh Laptop Battery for IBM ThinkPad X30/ThinkPad X30-2672/ThinkPad X31

RECORD DISTANCE: Chambers Bay will be the longest course in USGA history. At 7,742 yards, it overtakes the South Course at Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego, Calif., which measured 7,643 yards for the 2008 U.S. Open, and 2006 U.S. Amateur host Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minn., which measured 7,473 yards.
ARCHITECT: Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., Chambers Bay opened in 2007. The Home Course, in nearby Dupont, Wash., was designed by Mike Asmundson and opened in 2007.
COURSE LAYOUT: The fairways will range in width from approximately 28 to 105 yards. Although most USGA championship courses have a buffer between their fairways and primary rough, Chambers Bay likely will not incorporate this cut due to the nature of the course's fine fescue. The primary rough will be cut at a height of 3 to 4.5 inches. Fescue area in dunes will be grown from 6 to 18 inches. The greens will measure about 11 feet on the Stimpmeter for the duration of the championship. Green approaches and closely mown areas will be cut to a height of .450 inches, while teeing grounds and fairways will be cut to a height of .500 inches.
COURSE RATING AND SLOPE: Based on the course setup for the championship, the Course Rating for Chambers Bay is 78.6 and its Slope is 138. The Home Course will be set for a Course Rating of 76.3 and a Slope of 131.
WHO CAN ENTER: The championship is open to amateur golfers who hold a USGA Handicap Index not exceeding 2.4. The USGA accepted 6,485 entries in 2010. The record number of entrants is 7,920, in 1999.
SECTIONAL QUALIFYING: Sectional qualifying, played over 36 holes, was held at 99 sites between July 29 andAug. 10.
SCHEDULE OF PLAY: Eighteen holes of stroke play are scheduled for Aug. 23 and 24, after which the field will be cut to the low 64 scorers. Six rounds of match play begin on Aug. 25 and the championship concludes with a scheduled 36-hole final match on Aug. 29.
ADMISSION: Tickets can be purchased online at www.2010usamateur.com/tickets, or by calling (877) 295-4657. Daily grounds tickets are $25 and weekly grounds tickets are $65. Children 17 and under are admitted free, if accompanied by a paying adult.
Among the benefits enjoyed by the U.S. Amateur winner are:
1) A gold medal and custody of the Havemeyer Trophy for the ensuing year2) An exemption from local and sectional qualifying for the next U.S. Open3) An exemption from qualifying for the next 10 U.S. Amateurs4.)

HISTORY: This is the 110th U.S. Amateur Championship. The U.S. Amateur Championship is the oldest golf championship in this country, one day older than the U.S. Open. Except for an eight-year period, 1965-1972, when it was stroke play, the Amateur has been a match-play championship.
Throughout its history, the U.S. Amateur has been the most coveted of all amateur titles. Many of the great names of professional golf, such as Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Lanny Wadkins, Craig Stadler, Jerry Pate, Mark O'Meara, Hal Sutton, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods, grace the Havemeyer Trophy.
It was, however, legendary amateur Robert T. Jones Jr., who first attracted national media coverage and sparked spectator attendance at the U.S. Amateur. Jones captured the championship five times (1924, 1925, 1927, 1928, 1930). His 1930 victory was a seminal moment in golf history when, at Merion Cricket Club in Ardmore, Pa., Jones rounded out the Grand Slam, winning the four major American and British championships in one year.
Sixty-six years later, in 1996, Tiger Woods, attracted similar interest and enthusiasm at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in North Plains, Ore., when he won a record third straight U.S. Amateur, having registered 18 consecutive match-play victories. In 1994, Woods, at 18, had first entered the record book as the youngest ever to win the Amateur Championship, following his three consecutive Junior Amateur titles (1991-1993). That record has since been broken twice, first by 17-year-old Danny Lee in 2008 at Pinehurst No. 2 in the Village of Pinehurst, N.C., and then last year when 17-year-old Byeong-Hun 'Ben' An won at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Okla., with a 7-and-5 victory over Ben Martin, of Greenwood, S.C. An will defend his title this year.
USGA CHAMPIONSHIPS:The 2010 U.S. Amateur is the first USGA championship to be conducted at Chambers Bay.
IN WASHINGTON: The state of Washington has hosted 22 USGA championships, including this year's U.S. Senior Open at Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish, July 29-Aug. 1, and won by Bernhard Langer. The 1952 U.S. Amateur was held at Seattle Golf Club and won by member Jack Westland. The 2011 U.S. Junior Amateur will be played at Gold Mountain Golf Club in Bremerton July 18-23, and Chambers Bay will host the 2015 U.S. Open, from June 18-21.

Hey all... So this is the fridge I scored:http://www.fasttrackauction.net/cgi-bin/mnlist.cgi?fasttrack1155/4 I recently purchased this:http://www.chicompany.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1015 I followed the directions exactly. I have the wire taped to the side of the fridge so the actual probe is dangling in the fridge and not touching anything. I put the fridge to the coldest setting as suggested in the directions and then set the temp to 64 degrees to see how well it worked. Well, currently the fridge is RUNNING and the temp in the fridge is 47 degrees and dropping...Why? Am I doing something wrong?
Get yourself a wine bottle or something with a decent amount of water volume and put the the sensor in that full of water. Put a thermometer in the water as well and turn the temp controller up until the fridge turns off. Let it equalize. Check the temp and then slowly adjust it until you dial in your controller. If it's not digital, IMO, you have to dial it in. Good luck and keep me posted on what happens.
The fridge puts out cold air. The coldest it can get all the time. The only thing that changes is when the temp around the thermometer hits a the cut off point. When the fridge is filled with items it keeps a much more steady temperature. It fluctuates a lot less. The air temperature will likely be lower than a bucket of water or beer. It needs to to bring the mass down to the temp you want it at.

I came upon this article in the FAQ
I then realized I was using CCC with an AMD CPU and according to that article it is not optimal.
So I set out to download and install Vision Engine Control Center. I found this URL: http://www.amd.com/us/products/technologies/pages/vision-engine.aspx
used the download link below and selected the approriate download (13.12 Win7 64-bit) and did a proper uninstall of CCC before running that exe I downloaded.
When I was all done I still have CCC installed and not the Vision Engine CC.
How do I get Vision Engine Control Center?
VECC and CCC were the same thing, except that VECC gave CPU overclocking options, which is completely useless, as CPU overslocking happens in the BIOS.
When AMD realized this, and also that people still called it CCC regardless of the name change, they changed it back fortunately. So now everyone has CCC. I'm not sure if CPU settings appear for AMD users but it doesn't matter. If you need to overclock, use the BIOS.
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 810 @ 3250MHz | RAM: Kingmax 2x2GB DDR2 800 @ 833MHz| MoBo: MSI K9A2 CF v1.0 (BIOS: 1.D)| GPU: Asus HD 6850 1024MB (DirectCu) @ 850/1150MHz | Display: L24FHD | PSU: PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad | OS: MS Windows 7 Pro x64 CPU: Pentium 4 Northwood S478 @ 3200MHz | RAM: 1,5GB DDR 400| MoBo: Gigabyte GA-8S661FXMP-RZ | GPU: ASUS Radeon X1650 Pro 256MB | Display: Dimarson 19" CRT | PSU: Noname 400W | OS: changing twice every week...
Alrighty that clears it up thank you. It'd be better if AMD just didn't keep outdated information on their official website.

Now I'm not going to say I'm good when it comes to RTS's because quite frankly, I suck. So when a modder decides boot up the difficulty of the AI, I lose. But I can't help the feeling that the modder could've just added a few new difficulty slots so that newbie players like me can try out their mod without being forced to constantly have allies, who usually end up using your resources or being as dumb a bricks. What really pisses me of about this is they're sometimes the most interesting mods which really decreases the enjoyment of said mod when the AI doesn't even give you the time to do it.

Simple Asian Rice
Salty and savory rice that is just flavorful enough to be a perfect pairing for the Sticky Asian Chicken. With or without the peas, this is a rice that was declared two thumbs up by all of my boys. My youngest emptied his bowl twice and still asked for more.
Simple Asian Rice
3 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 green onions, very thinly sliced
Optional: 1/2 cup frozen peas
Combine the rice and the chicken stock in a large saucepan or skillet, cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 18 minutes. At the end of the cooking time, stir the rice and check the rice for tenderness. If the liquid has been absorbed, drizzle with the soy sauce and sesame oil and toss well to coat. Add frozen peas, if desired, and stir to combine. The heat of the rice will cook them in just a minute or two. Add the green onions, stir and keep covered until ready to serve. Enjoy!

After stopping a much needed expansion of the Medicaid Program, a group of Ohio legislators have recently introduced a new concept of "Medicaid Reform." It involves time limits, work requirements and other elements intended to inspire more "personal responsibility" and prevent the dreaded "dependency." This sounds amazingly like the much-praised and highly popular bipartisan "Welfare Reform" of the mid-90s. This appeals to a broad segment of the population who want to believe that all poverty and apparently ill health is caused by a failure of character. This philosophy is given considerable support by some conservative think tanks.
The problem is that they are wrong. As someone who has been running the welfare office in one of the poorest counties in Appalachia for over 30 years, I can assure you it is not that simple. There is no doubt that there are many character flaws that poor people struggle with. Don't we all? But it is undeniably true that ill health, low wage jobs, mental health and substance abuse underlie our challenges with poverty. As well as, racial discrimination, ex-offender discrimination, gender discrimination and a host of other issues that rest with character flaws in the rest of us help make poverty intractable.
"Welfare reform" failed because it did not address the wide array of poverty-related issues. None of the stated program goals were met. It failed to reduce out of wedlock births, failed to encourage the formation of two parent households and failed to reduce "dependency". We have had an explosion of out of wedlock births society wide. More and more families are breaking apart as is evident by a growing number of grandparents now caring for their grandchildren. While cash assistance rolls have dropped drastically, food stamp assistance has grown to record numbers reflecting a growing number of poor families.
Amid the most serious failure of Welfare Reform was that of failing to meet the basic needs of families with children.
In Ohio today there are more children living in households with no cash income than those who are getting cash welfare. Overall in Ohio, almost 500,000 people, including about 170,000, children have no cash income in their households. Only 110,000 children receive cash assistance through the Ohio Works First program.
These children are living in families doubled or tripled up in often substandard housing, many are homeless. They have no money for transportation, diapers, soap, shoes, toothpaste or many other necessities.
Families left on the reformed welfare system receive an average of $180 per person per month and the parents have a typical work requirement of 30 hours per week. If they are able to overcome the transportation and other barriers to accomplish this overwhelming task, they can watch their kids go hungry at the end of the month and still struggle to keep a roof over their heads. We insist they work, we do not guarantee that their basic needs will be met.
This is the success we hope to match with "Medicaid Reform."
In the "every man for himself" conservative world, welfare reform succeeded because it slashed welfare cash assistance rolls. The actual people hurt were simply disposable. Ohio has cut 100,000 people off cash assistance in the past two years using the reformed welfare rules. They did not move to happy valley or disappear. They are struggling to survive.
Is that the kind of "reform" we want for Medicaid?

Well Gameloft games are really good. Games like Order & Chaos,Modern Combat etc. really shows of a phones power. Unfortunatly Gameloft games don't work on the Sensation because of the Sensation's screen size or resolution. So we'll just have to wait for Gameloft to make their games compatible with the device and pretty sure once they do the games will run smoothly.

The final chapter! I'm quite frankly kind of glad to be done with this story. It's certainly not my favorite thing I've ever written, but meh. Enjoy!
"But wait... how do we become pirates?" Guybrush inquired, looking at Skyler expectantly.
"Ask them?" He suggested with a shrug. "I'm not sure. I don't know what pirates are like. Do you think they'd let us?"
"Asking seems like a good enough plan." The naive Guybrush agreed with a nod. "C'mon then, let's go find some pirates!"
The boys took off, cutting through a small cobblestoned streed crammed with various shops and taverns. Halfway accross, however, they heard voices and footsteps running towards them, growing louder by the second.
Skyler's first instinct was to hide, and that's just what he did. He leapt behind the wall of the nearest building. Guybrush, however, who was apparently born without basic survival , instincts, waited out in the open with minimal caution.
When the approaching sounds grew to a dull roar, Skyler began to panic. He suddenly wanted nothing to do with pirates at all. He wanted to go home, crawl into bed, and wait for it to be over. But Guybrush was never going to go for that, he knew.
Suddenly, a crowd of disgruntled pirates appeared at the end of the street, charging towards the hidden Skyler and the very much in plain sight Guybrush.
"Hey! Excuse me!" Guybrush called, waving his arms. Skyler nearly facepalmed.
The pirates, however, apparently had more important things to do than listen to a couple of kids, and most ofthem charged by without so much as a second glance in the blonde boy's direction. One, however, slowed down and looked at him.
"Whadda you want, kid?" He asked gruffly.
Guybrush drew himself up to his full height, looked the pirate in the eyes and stated, "I'm Guybrush Threepwood, and I wanna be a pirate."
The pirate laughed, a loud, booming sound that made Guybrush's heart vibrate in his chest.
"Go home, Driftwood." The pirate turned to leave, but only made it a couple steps before Guybrush reached out to stop him. Before he could say anything, however, the pirate wheeled around and struck him across the face.
"Get lost." His voice was low and menacing.
Guybrush looked as if he were about to protest again, and Skyler saw from his position the pirate reach for his belt, where he no doubt had some kind of deadly weapon. Before he knew what he was doing, he'd picked up a tree branch from the ground next to his feet and leapt from his hiding place with a noice that had been intended as a threatening growl but came out more as a yelp. The pirate turned slowly to face Skyler, but before he had the chance, he'd swung the branch. It collided with the burly man's face with a dull thud and he stumbled backwards.
Guybrush took the moment to drop to the ground and grab the pirate's ankle, sending him to the ground with a thundering crash. The collosal man was stunned and couldn't move for a moment. Skyler just stared at him, but Guybrush's voice shook him from his trance.
"Hey! Come on, let's get out of here before he gets up!" Guy urged, grabbing his friend's arm and dragging him away. Before they'd made it even a few steps, however, the pirate was back on his feet and charging towards them.
"Split up!" Guybrush suggested, and the two took off in opposite directions. Skyler dove towards a building, hoping to get inside, and Guybrush started hastily scaling the wall of a tavern to reach safety on the roof.
After a moment's hesitation, the brute went after Skyler, who had unfortunatley chosen a shop he couldn't get into and was trapped against the door.
Guybrush jumped down from the wall and ran towards his helpless friend as quickly as he could. The pirate heard him coming and whipped around. Before Guybrush could react, the man slammed the blunt end of a sword into his head. He was out before he even fell over.
When Guybrush awoke, the pirates were gone. So was Skyler.
"Elaine! Will this island do?" Guybrush called to his very annoyed wife.
"Yes, dear, any land will do. Just somewhere we can make repairs." She answered, trying to reign in her anger. It wasn't her husband's fault that their helmsman had run them into a rock and effectively taken out half the ship.
Soon enough, the ship had been docked and the Elaine had set each crewmember to work with some task usefull to fixing their ship. All of them except Guybrush.
"What can I do to help, dear?" He asked as sweetly as possible.
"You can stay out of the way, Guybrush. Go entertain yourself at a tavern or something."
"Yes dear." He said brightly.
Guybrush strolled along the island until he reached what appeared to be a very popular bar, judging by the din coming from inside. He cautiously pushed open the door.
The room bar was indeed popular. It was full of people from wall to wall, drinking grog, playing darts, and talking. Guybrush made his way over to the bar. The bartender was talking to some patrons on the other side of the tavern, laughing loudly. Guybrush guessed he was probably drunk.
The man sitting next to Guybrush turned to face him. "Don't worry about that bartender, he's just -" Abruptly, he stopped.
Guybrush, who had been looking at the grog barrels on the wall up until that point, turned to look at the man who was addressing him.
"Long time, no see."

August 16, 2001, Chandigarh, India
CM dares militants to target him
Farooq planning early
Sonias J&K visit may boost Cong prospects New Delhi, August 15 With early elections to the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly now a distinct possibility, the Congress president, Mrs Sonia Gandhi, is likely to visit the state next month. Mrs Gandhis first political visit to the state is expected to revive the partys sagging fortunes and bring some order to the state PCC whose functioning has been impaired by factionalism. During her visit, Mrs Gandhi is expected to address public rallies both in the valley and in the Jammu region.
CM dares militants to target
him Srinagar, August 15 The entire area around the stadium was turned into a fortress where curfew-like situation prevailed since last night. No traffic, which was skeletal since yesterday, was allowed around the stadium this morning. The traffic police had already issued directions to divert traffic on the Indira Gandhi road passing by the stadium to Batamaloo bypass. Mediapersons invited to cover the function were not allowed to use their own vehicles. Dr Abdullahs ministerial colleagues, legislators and police and security officers were
present on the occasion. The Chief Minister charged Pakistan leadership with spilling the blood of Kashmiris for political sustenance. They want to build castles on the graves of Kashmiris, he said. After unfurling the Tricolor here this morning, the Chief Minister said despite engineering mayhem and parroting Kashmir day in and day out, Pakistan could not change the Line of Control. Asking people to fight militancy to the finish, Dr Abdullah said those digging graves for others would themselves get buried in them. Kashmiris, no doubt predominantly Muslims, are Indians and not Pakistanis and have been at the receiving end of terrorism for the past 12 years. Whenever a Kashmiri gets Pakistan bullet, the blood spills for India, the Chief Minister said in a rage of emotion and added that Disect our heart and you will find India inscribed on it. In the name of so-called freedom, they were killing innocent people, coercing people and newspapers to toe their line and above all, defaming Islam. Let them target Farooq Abdullah, why do they pick up on innocent people here and there, he said. In his hour-long speech, he referred to the miseries perpetrated by Pakistan on Kashmiris and said that in the name of Islam its agents had committed heinous crimes against humanity. Hapless women had been subjected to humiliation that had touched alarming dimensions with the sprinkling of acid on them for not being veiled. In fact, under the camouflage of veil, militants wanted to further their design to target innocent civilians, he said. Our Correspondent adds from Udhampur: Independence Day was celebrated at Degree College here, Mr Ajat Shatru Singh, Minister for Transport and Information, was the chief guest. A parade and cultural function were held. Programmes were also organised by students of various schools and colleges. Speaking on the occasion, the minister appealed to people to work unitedly for the development of the state. Very few people attended the function. Security arrangements had been tightened in the town. There was no movement of vehicles on the national highway here. |
Farooq planning early
poll? Jammu, August 15 The Chief Minister inducted Chaudhary Mohammad Hussain from Darhal in Rajouri, Syed Mushtaq Ahmed Bukhari from Surankot in Poonch and Mr Najeeb Sohrawardhy from the Doda constituency as Ministers of State. Dr Abdullah said the main idea behind the expansion was to give representation to Poonch and Rajouri districts in the Council of Ministers. By inducting Mr Sohrawardhy, he wanted to have an active ministerial colleagues as Social Welfare Minister, B.A. Kichloo has been ailing and is under treatment in the AIIMS, New Delhi. Poonch and Rajouri have remained unrepresented in the Council of Ministers for the past about two years when the Chief Minister, under a major reshuffle, sacked Mr M.S. Tariq and Mr Nissar Ahmed Khan. Though Mr Tariq had been mounting pressure for all these months on the Chief Minister for his reinduction into the Cabinet, Dr Abdullah had brushed aside a series of representation made by the people from Rajouri. No doubt there was simmering discontent among the people in the two border districts of Poonch and Rajouri over their non-representation in the Council of Ministers. The Chief Minister could have waited for the next Assembly poll or give representation to other communities, including Kashmiri Pandits. If the Chief Minister had expanded the Council of Ministers to give representation to the unrepresented, he could have filled the Cabinet post which had fallen vacant after the Law Minister, Mr P.L. Handoo, expired five months ago. The Chief Minister had said a Pandit would be inducted into the Council of Ministers at an appropriate time. Observers are of the view that since the Kashmiri Pandits have ceased to be a votebank, Dr Abdullah had no reason to be in a hurry. Chaudhary Mohammad Hussain, who has won the Assembly poll five times, had been sulking when he was not included in the Cabinet in 1996 when the NC formed government. He had then an edge over others by being one of the seniormost legislators of the ruling party. Dr Abdullah did not want to take back M.S. Tariq and Nissar Ahmed Khan who were reported to be hobnobbing with dissidents within the National Conference. Hence, he picked up Mr Hussain and Syed Mustafa Bukhari to reduce the size of dissidence in Poonch and Rajouri districts from where his party has expectations of winning majority seats. Word had gone to the Chief Minister that Doda district needed adequate representation after a lions share in the Council of Ministers had been taken away by Jammu and Srinagar districts. The strength of the Council of Ministers has gone after yesterdays expansion to 26, which is still short by five when the NC assumed office. Though the expansion may be an added burden on the frail state exchequer, it will allow the ruling party to make up for the gradual erosion in its votebank in Poonch, Rajouri, Doda and other areas. It is evident that the Chief Minister wants to prepare his party for the Assembly poll which may be held somewhere in the middle of next year and a month earlier if the situation does not warrant postponement. |
Sonias J&K visit may boost Cong prospects New Delhi, August 15 Mrs Gandhis first political visit to the state is expected to revive the partys sagging fortunes and bring some order to the state PCC whose functioning has been impaired by factionalism. During her visit, Mrs Gandhi is expected to address public rallies both in the valley and in the Jammu region. Jammu and Kashmir Congress chief Mohammad Shafi Qureshi, who was in Delhi recently, invited both Mrs Gandhi and Ms Mohsina Kidwai, general secretary-in-charge, to the state. While the dates of Mrs Gandhis Kashmir visit were being finalised, Ms Kidwai would be visiting the state on August 23, 24 and 25, AICC sources said. Ms Kidwai, who would attempt to contain factionalism in the state unit before Mrs Gandhis visit, is expected to address a PCC meeting in Jammu. She would address party workers in Kishtwar which has seen massacres of the minority community in the recent past. Ms Kidwai would later go to the valley and address meetings in Srinagar, Kupwara and Baramula. AICC sources say the Congress, which could emerge as a secular alternative to the National Conference in the sensitive border state, was yet to put its act together. The PCC was deeply divided with a strong section of leaders demanding removal of the present PCC chief. Though several delegations from the state PCC have met the Congress high command seeking a change of guard in the PCC, the latter has been lukewarm to the demand. Divisions within the state Congress have also delayed the appointment of the PCC office-bearers which has adversely affected the functioning of the party. Party sources say a list of office-bearers has finally been prepared by Ms Kidwai and sent to the Congress president for approval. Mrs Gandhis proposed visit to Jammu and Kashmir would go a long way in boosting the morale of the Congress workers who have been dismayed by the infighting within the state unit. The party has to recover a lot of ground in the state where its position has been considerably weakened after Mufti Mohammed Sayeeds exit from the Congress. |

The Jonas Brothers Rock the American Music Awards
by Free Britney at .We're not trying to player-hate on Nick, Kevin and Joe. The Jonas Brothers seem like really good dudes. But they shouldn't be singing live. Not yet.
They are clearly awesome at starring in Disney movies, dumping Taylor Swift over the phone, wearing promise rings and eliciting squeals from teen girls.
But they ought to consider lip-synching, at least until they hit puberty and their voices fall an octave or several. There's no shame in it, guys. Take a cue from Britney Spears. The studio track not only sounds better, it allows for more dancing!
Here's the incomparable Jonas Brothers (after being introduced by the sultry Demi Lovato!) doing "Tonight" at last night's American Music Awards ...
WARNING: Be sure to secure any glass items near your computer - they may instantly combust during the parts where the guys try to harmonize.

I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree with your (rightful) opinion. I thought they rocked it, I love their voices. They are one of the few bands with a distinctive musical and vocal sound, and one of the few acts that don't lipsync. People just aren't used to live performance anymore.

Can Treating Your Life As a Game Make You a Better Person?
One full week of keeping track of absolutely everything, to see if gamification can net you a win in the game of life
The experiment began at 11 a.m. in my bedroom in Brooklyn. I bought an app from the iTunes store called EpicWin, a fantasy-themed game designed to improve users' lives by motivating them to accomplish real-world goals with virtual-world rewards. Before starting the game, I had to pick and customize an avatar that would represent me in the digital landscape of EpicWin. I chose a cadaverous warrior named Calcium Facebone. He held a blunt mallet in one hand. "Add new task," the screen read. Since I was planning to write a story about my experience, I typed in "Start article." A surge of ominous music rattled from the iPhone speakers, and Calcium Facebone appeared on a rumpled map on the screen. Miles traveled: 0.
I had gotten the idea for the experiment a few months ago, when I became interested in a trend called "gamification." To gamify something is to integrate videogame mechanics—such as scoring, missions and level-ending "boss" battles—into real-life situations. Gamification has become increasingly popular as our use of smartphones and our collective desire to remain connected at every moment have grown. For now, it is primarily a marketing tool used by businesses to shape consumer behavior. Google awards badges to regular users of Google News; online marketplaces such as Gilt Groupe and Zappos dish out perks to their frequent customers; Kobo, a company that produces e-readers and e-books, lets consumers unlock achievement awards for plowing through a certain number of pages. M2 Research, an analytics firm in Encinitas, California, estimates that the gamification market in 2011 was worth about $100 million. By 2016, it could reach as high as $2.8 billion.
Fueled by such growth, gamification is beginning to expand beyond commercial applications. "I foresee games that tackle global-scale problems like climate change and poverty," game developer Jane McGonigal writes in her book Reality Is Broken. "I foresee games that augment our most essential human capabilities—to be happy, resilient, creative—and empower us to change the world in meaningful ways."
If, as the theory holds, everything in life could be a game, I wondered what would happen if it really were. So I decided to construct an experiment. Over the course of seven days, I would score and tally different aspects of my life. I would sign up for every mobile or Web-based gamification app that I could find. Where there were no apps, I would create my own games. And I would discover if the points I earned correlated to an actual improvement in my well-being.
To help design my gamified life, I enlisted Nick Fortugno and Margaret Wallace, the co-founders of Playmatics, a New York game-development firm. Together we created a plan for the week, part of which I would be spending in Durham, North Carolina, visiting my fiancée, Katie. We resolved to examine the results at the end of the week.
EpicWin was my first chance to score some points. I sat down at my computer and opened a Word document. The screen was very white. I wrote a few words, and then a few more. After 20 minutes, I returned to the app and confirmed that I had started my article, completing my first quest. Calcium Facebone tottered 40 miles forward across the map, picking up 110 gold coins along the way. Solid numbers, certainly, 40 and 110, and I felt a small but undeniable sense of accomplishment looking at them on the screen. But I couldn't help but wonder what they meant outside of the game, so I called Gabe Zichermann, co-author of the book Game-Based Marketing.
"That number is not just a number," he said. "That number is providing feedback. Feedback is what's intoxicating." Ten years ago, such feedback was very limited. These days, we get it in everything we do—friends on Facebook "like" our posts, Twitter users re-tweet our tweets, other users rank the relevance of our Yelp reviews.
"That cycle of challenge and achievement causes the brain to secrete dopamine and other chemicals and creates a positive reinforcement loop," Zichermann added. "Which is to say, you want to do it again and again and again." I stared down at Calcium Facebone. There was no doubt that I felt compelled to log another task.

I'm watching too many zombi movies lately 😅😎 "surprise Mother F&!#*R! " #picperfect
I love that feeling you get when you don't remember that you're reading. When you're so captured by a book that you forget you're reading the words. All you see is the descriptions and conversations that being to play out like a movie in your head. You don't even think about it. Then before you know it, you've read 100 pages without realizing it. That's probably the best feeling in the world.

The NASA Graduate Student Researchers Program (GSRP) awards fellowships (also called GSRP Training Grants in what follows) for graduate study leading to masters or doctoral degrees in the fields of science, mathematics, and engineering related to NASA research and development. This twelve month award requires students to participate in a 10 week NASA Center or HQ-based research experience at the NASA Center/HQ extending the GSRP Fellowship award.
The goal of the GSRP is to cultivate research ties to the academic community, to help meet the continuing needs of national aeronautics and space requirements by increasing the number of highly trained scientists and engineers in aeronautics and space-related disciplines, and to meet the Nation's need to increase the number of highly trained teachers.
Research opportunities described on the GSRP website are assessed and updated annually to complement the mission requirements of NASA. Research areas are in disciplines that lead to aeronautics and space careers.
The program will support approximately 140 graduate students annually. NASA scientists and engineers and NASA Center and HQ education specialists evaluate applications on the basis of academic transcripts, research proposals, University Faculty Research Advisors recommendations, and the proposed utilization of a NASA Center or HQ or university research facilities.
Mentoring and research experiences are important aspects of the GSRP Fellowship. Centers may host students any time during the twelve month award period; however, the schedule may vary depending on each Center's capacity. Recipients of the GSRP Training Grant must coordinate the schedule for the center-based research experience with the center mentor and the center GSRP Coordinator. Students will not receive additional funds for time spent at the center.

Find fun things to doin the Austin, TX area
Updated: 11:25 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 15, 2012 | Posted: 11:25 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 15, 2012
American-Statesman Staff
Let's say you run an enormous toy distribution operation located at the North Pole. You have a large staff and very tight deadlines. It's a lot of work.
Now imagine that global warming made your melting work site uninhabitable and you had to move the entire organization to the South Pole. You'd probably need a really good mover, a lot of luck and maybe a little magic.
That idea is the premise of a charming new book, children's iPad app and e-book called "Moving Christmas," created by an Austin-based company of two called Trusted Cape. And, if the creators of it have their way, it'll be the start of several franchises with Hollywood-scale production values made by small teams of techies and established artists.
Trusted Cape started two years ago when two friends who grew up together in Dallas began brainstorming ideas. One of the friends, Brandon Camp, grew up to be a writer, producer and director in Hollywood while the other, Jonathan Osborne, was a journalist at the Austin American-Statesman before going to business school, then helping launch several tech startups. Camp primarily works in Los Angeles while Osborne is based in Austin.
Camp says that he and many other Hollywood creative types often find work they produce is paid for then goes nowhere. "The irony of Hollywood is you can make a great living producing nothing," he said. "Out of that frustration, when I was talking to Jonathan about this, that became the seeds of Trusted Cape. There are so many incredible stories out there that have never had the opportunity to flourish."
Camp and Osborne decided that there were other avenues than pitching expensive films or television shows to bring the creations of writers and illustrators to life.
They partnered with screenwriter Richard D'Ovidio and illustrator Max Miceli, who has done work for Disney and Nickelodeon, and Austin app development company Chaotic Moon to bring to life a character named Frank Duffy. Duffy, "Mover of the Impossible," helps Santa Claus and his crew relocate across the world. Camp and Osborne hope Duffy will be one of several characters that can kick off family-friendly franchises across multiple platforms.
The iPad app for "Moving Christmas" mixes elements of the print version with wacky animation and innovative features like a page that offers a panoramic view of New York City when the device is held up and swung around 360 degrees. The 64-page illustrated book is $12.99 on Amazon. The iPad app is $3.99 (currently free for a limited time) and e-book versions for iOS, Nook and Amazon Kindle are also available.
The Trusted Cape team is hoping to work with Hollywood talent while staying a bit outside the system, Camp said. His inspiration is his father, Joe Camp, who created the Benji franchise in Dallas. The family distributed the first Benji movie themselves, taking it to movie theaters across the country before it became a hit.
Compared with other children's iPad apps, "Moving Christmas" does stand out. It's longer than most stories, which tend to run 10-20 illustrated pages (it has more than 40), has very well-produced animation and a clever story.
But Camp and Osborne recognize the App Store market is a little saturated and that they may need to be patient for this Christmas story to find its audience. "We have to believe that if we create a quality product and if we create characters that are truly memorable, that eventually people will find them," Camp said.
The team is working on four more projects, but managed to hit very tight deadlines to get "Moving Christmas" out before the holiday.
"We're really proud of it," Osborne said. "We hope it's a perennial favorite."

The city of Henderson plans to allow two years of property tax payments to be made at one time at the end of this year.
Huh? Why on earth would anyone want to pay their taxes early? "For income tax purposes," said City Manager Russell Sights. "Some taxpayers prefer to do that."
There's a drawback, though. People who pay their tax bills prior to Nov. 14 get a 1-percent discount. But you can't get that discount for both years if you wait until the last minute so you can take advantage of early payment program. You get the discount for only one year.
The discussion about taxes came up as the Henderson City Commission was giving final approval to the city tax rates. This year's tax bills will probably be mailed on Friday.
The tax bill for a house valued at $30,000 would be $168, an increase of $5.70, and it would be $336.60 for a house valued at $60,000, an increase of $11.40.
The tax bill for a house valued at $90,000 would be $504.90, an increase of $17.10, while the tax bill for a house valued at $120,000 would be $673.20, an increase of $22.80.
Other items on Tuesday's agenda included:
Canoe Creek: The commission authorized the Flood Mitigation Board to award a contract to Hess Construction LLC of Franklin, Tenn., to clear the creek between U.S. 60 and the Ohio River. Hess Construction was the low bidder on the project at $249,896 for the entire area, or $185,852 not including the land owned near the creek's mouth by the Nature Conservancy, which has concerns about disturbing the habitat of an endangered plant.
Police rifles: The commission approved buying 25 Doublestar DS15 patrol rifles for the Henderson Police Department from Bud's Police Supply in Lexington for $22,500. The purchase includes the 25 rifles and related equipment, such as slings and extra 30-round magazines. The purchase completes replacing the traditional shotguns HPD patrol cars have carried.
Reappointment: The commission approved appointing Holly Vincent to another term on the board of the Henderson Housing Authority.

Leadership Lessons from Nehemiah (Part 1)
Twenty Leadership Questions for Building a City within the City Tuesday, January 16, 2007 Acts 29 & The Resurgence Regional (NW) Taught by Pastor Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church- Building a city within the city.
- The storyline of the Bible moves from a garden to a city with a garden.
- God's people are to aspire to live as a countercultural city that is an embassy of God's kingdom.
- Matthew 5:14 "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden."
- Our city within the city is to be for the benefit of the whole city.
- Jeremiah 29:4–9 "Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease. But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare. For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your diviners who are among you deceive you, and do not listen to the dreams that they dream, for it is a lie that they are prophesying to you in my name; I did not send them, declares the LORD."
- Nehemiah is an example of building a city within the city.
- Nehemiah is a book not just about leadership, but about missional leadership as he labors to build a countercultural kingdom community amidst an opposing culture
- The issue in Nehemiah is not just re-building a wall, but rather re-building a wall so that God's people can have a safe place to gather as a city within the city
- Three major themes run throughout the book of Nehemiah regarding his missional leadership.
- He has a confident humility.
- His confident humility comes from frequent prayer (1:4–11a; 2:4; 4:4–5; 5:19; 6:9, 14; 13:22b, 29, 31b).
- His confident humility enables him to give all credit to others and ultimately God for his success (2:8, 11–12, 20; 4:14–15, 20; 6:15–16; 7:5; 8:1).
